Fried seafood platter is great. The coleslaw is fantastic I think but I had two blue crab margaritas and thank God I wasn’t driving! I’d love to go back some day!

Ashley Page

Yum seafood , delicious drinks, and a perfect view from the deck. Nice to have a walk on the pier after dinner too!

Julia Knight

Good waitresses , fun atmosphere , the food is pretty good too and reasonably priced depending on what you get. Highly recommend the crab dip and fried oysters .

Renee Wagner

The clam chowder was creamy and delicious & the crab dip was phenomenal!

Amber B

Their raw oysters are the BEST I've ever had!

Mitchell Willis

Get there early if you want soft shell crab . They sellout early.

I’ve been passing this restaurant for about 2 years. I finally decided to stop in. It wasn’t bad but there was nothing spectacular either so maybe I’ll be back or maybe I won’t.

Jacob Rosenberg

Perfect sunsets and great crabcakes

Thom DeCarlo

When in season, the Maryland steamed crabs are great.

Jonathan Yagel

Would definitely stay away from the Oysters Rockefeller . Poor flavor and mostly spinach . ????

The food is horrible. For a place that is on the water with a beautiful view , it's just disappointing. We had to return the She Crab soup , lack of flavor & flour-y. Seafood pasta was cold --just bad.

Samir Alany

Great food, incredible view ????????????

Katie Ball

Rockfish and soft shell crab are excellent; a little on the pricey side.

Farrah

Soft she'll crab sandwich was great

Joe Hudson

You can't go wrong with steamed Blue Crab straight out the Chesapeake. Raw Oysters are good too.

William Anderson

Excellent service but the food did not match. Crab cakes and crab filling was not good. Flounder was rubbery. Even the burgers were not cooked to temperature. Very disappointing!

Blackened tuna steak sandwich and a blue crab margarita is highly recommended

RJ McMurran

The stuffed mushrooms are to die for!!!

Idalia Anderson

Had great service from our waitress but our food was horrible. When we talked to the manager she seemed uninterested in our feedback. Sad to say this is not a restaurant I would return to.

Clara O'Connell

Amazing tuna steak salad ... yummmm

Great wings for a seafood restaurant .

Dave White

Great happy hour ...

Jonathan Yagel

Blackened tuna was tasty, but a bit overcooked. May seem obvious... But just go for the crab !

Troy Graves

Their service is awful! The waitress could care less and the drinks were weak.

Jean Lalanne

The food was horrible and the service was subpar...I would not recommend.

Shenika Wingfield
