“A Delightful Experience at Donnelly’s Dockside

I recently dined at Donnelly’s Dockside in Arnold, MD, and it was fantastic! The atmosphere right on Deep Creek is simply perfect - it's a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal with beautiful views.

The staff was excellent, providing attentive and friendly service throughout my visit. From juicy burgers to fresh seafood, Donnelly’s truly has something for everyone.

Lastly, don’t miss out on trying an orange crush, it’s a must-have!“

“Can be a bit heavy on spice for a few dishes such as the drunk noodles and red curry, however these dishes are still delicious and their sushi selection is very good. The waiter is very polite and overall the restaurant has a chill atmosphere for a calm family dinner and has very good food that satisfies you while not making you feel to heavy. Overall I would highly recommend coming here for a calm family dinner. Would come again. ( also you can ask them to remove some of the spice if you don’t want to deal with it for the drunk noodles and the red curry.)

Parking: Parking was easy.

Kid-friendliness: It is very kid friendly, no explicit imagery so it’s fine for kids to come.“

“Went on Friday afternoon for lunch with family, they were not very busy. Our server was very polite, energetic, and very fun personality all around.
Food, on the other hand, was not very good. I got the Santa Fe burger. It was not seasoned very well, lacking flavor and spice, I also ordered fries instead of chips. The fries were cold. Hubby ordered a mushroom burger, and again, it was not very good.
He ordered med rare, and it was med well and not seasoned again with the fries cold.
The atmosphere was great but the food needs some improvement. And for 45$ we wish it would have been better.“

“Went for lunch with my daughter in from Georgia on 11/25/2024. They had a "ROCKOSCAR" special and it was amazing. She leaves to go back 11/27, but staying by the airport, but told me, she would be dining there tonight also on 11/26.“

“Got two dozen medium males yesterday, August 5, 2023. Meaty, delicious and sweet. Staff were very friendly. New favorite place for my family!“

“Lovely ,dark , hide away from the world. Drinks , food, service was awesome.Big Thank You to the Crew. Made Mark's Birthday fun. Well done!“

“Wow.. I read reviews before stopping.. they had a great rating so we stopped. The service was suburb.. The food was surprisingly fresh and DELICIOUS!! The crab cakes had lumps of crab meat in them and they had some filler but that did not take away from the deliciousness Everything was amazing“

“The best food in the area❤️“

“Always a great experience whether I am eating there or taking it home.“

“Delish Lobsta roll!!!! I’m hooked….. young man that waited on us was 5 star!“

“Wonderful customer service. Our 2 year old decided to have a meltdown mid meal, which upset another patron, while we were outside calming her down the staff gathered a few books, stickers and crayons for her to play with when we sat back down. It was very thoughtful and helped to make the rest of our evening with family even more enjoyable. Thank you!“

“Excellent crabs! Great!!!“

“I have been a patron at McGarvey's for years. I love your food and service. However, first time I have a complaint. I was anxious to try the crab balls, as pictured in your menu. Although they weren't horrible, they looked nothing like the picture on your menu, very disappointed. I expected pieces of white crab meat and we got very crusted, fried little round balls. I bragged to my grandson about the picture on your menu and it was certainly not what we got. I must say, it is the first thing I have been disappointed with. Either change the picture or take them off your menu.“

“The softshell crabs for so great“

“Roy’s is always a pleasure to go into the food is amazing and the staff is 10/10. Love making trips home just for a crab cake ❤️“

“I ordered 2 dozen XL crabs today, and when I went to pick them up, there was only 1dozen crabs on my order. After speaking with the young lady who took my order, she remembered taking the order, but inadvertently put in the wrong amount.
She immediately told me to go home with the aforementioned 1dozen, and that she would deliver the second dozen to my home personally.
You do not get this type of service anywhere else.
The crabs were delicious, heavy, and packed. I’m sorry I didn’t get her name, but just assumed she was the manager.
I’ve been getting my crabs here for years. It is the only place I go for carry out, and will continue to do so.
Thank you again for your exceptional service, and the best, most consistent product anywhere.

“We ordered a bushel of crabs and never have I ever seen a presentation like this!!!! We did take out and didn’t see it until we got home but we were pleasantly surprised! The customer service was amazing and all the food we purchased was great!“

“Born and raised in Louisiana. Just wanted to come here and say I’m way happy to learn yall sell BOILED crawfish! So yummy!“

“I had some of there crabs Sunday and all of them had meat inside me and my family enjoy them I will be going back for more“

“Never been disappointed with Anne Arundel Seafood. Most recently went with friends on a double date & everyone was very nice, especially the kind lady who took our order (in the area where you order crab cakes & desserts). She was very patient taking our large order. Food has always been very good. This past time there was more shells than normal in the crab dip & crab cakes, but taste wise, as always, very good 👍🏼 Would definitely recommend & we will definitely go back, again & again.“

“I just want to shout out our amazing waitress Nicole ! She was amazing and so kind ! You could tell she cares about what she does and works hard ! Please request her on Saturday nights you won’t regret it ! Also the food was bomb 😂“

“Food was awesome!! Better than expected!!“

“Without reservations we arrived at Rumor Reel with a party of 19 on a Sunday at 3pm. The manager and hostess sat us right away and were very accommodating. We were most impressed with our waitress Lindsay! She greeted us with the most pleasant attitude. She was so attentive and on top of everything we could possibly need. It was a birthday celebration that she made sure went super smooth. Thank you for making our day so special.“

“it was the highlight of my day to come to Carrabba's with my wife. We were nearby and always come to Carrabba's for our favorite dish. Fettuccine Carrabba! It's the best and the people that work here in Pasadena are the sweetest most accommodating out of all of them. I love the atmosphere, the cleanliness, the service and the food. The manager "Ben" is fantastic too!“

“This place does not disappoint. Food is delicious, reasonably priced, and portions are large. A place that offers a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and a fun time for the kiddos. Don’t miss out. We will be back.“

“The food was absolutely delicious every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. I especially loved it , which was bursting with flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and you could tell a lot of care went into each plate. Service was prompt and friendly, and our server made great recommendations from the menu. Prices were reasonable for the quality, and I definitely felt it was worth every penny. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area ,I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Artaviap2022, stop it with the black thing and stop using your race as a crutch for everything that goes wrong in your life, as I'm sure you do! Just like the majority of your race. Im sick of it. Everything is a black thing with blacks! I'm white, and I have had the same bad experiences that you've mentioned in many restaurants! I guess it's all the fault of people of color! Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? So does what you've written! You are what's wrong with the racial problems in this country! People like you, who refuse to let go of history that happened when neither one of us was alive, yet, you're constantly looking for reparations for something that no one alive is responsible for. Just list your complaint, and leave the race out of it! People like you make me sick! It's people like you that make me dislike blacks, as that word was mentioned in your post! People of color don't typically drag the fact that they are people of color into a conversation! However, blacks make sure to say they are black when complaining about the perceived injustices that have happened to them! Just say what you have to say, and leave the fact that you're black out of the conversation! If you didn't like Buddy's, then just list your complaints and leave your race out of it! You should contact Black Lives Matter about your issue! Oooooops, I forgot, they ran off with your money and are nowhere to be found now!“

“What a wonderful experience. I arrived at this restaurant for their happy hour on Saturday. It was busy but we were able to sit at a table in the bar area. The service was first rate, the food was terrific and very generous especially since it was happy hour. I will be back with both friends and family.“

“Review from 9/20/23

While not a very traditional sushi place, it still has great food and a nice ambience. Outdoor seating was great at the time and our waitress Ms. Becca was wonderful.

Miso soup was pleasant and filling. The edamame was, well, edamame, but nonetheless a good opener. Avocado salad was a little dry and uninspiring, but the flavor was decent, especially in tandem with the pine nuts.

The star of the appetizers, however, was definitely the yomato's tofu, which is always my friends and families' go-to. It's a little sweet, very crispy on the outside, with the savory taste of bonito flakes and soy wrapping the dish together; it's very filling and shareable as well, and definitely my biggest suggestion.

We tried the Kamikaze, Metropolitan, and Miami rolls. Of them, the Kamikaze was just fine; however, we enjoyed the Miami rolls and the Metropolitan was our favorite.“

“This restaurant is excellent and underutilized. I felt as if I had the restaurant to myself, and the cook was my personal chef. I had a very large fillet of salmon with asparagus, and it was perfect! The beers were $5, so a little expensive, but I didn't mind because the food was delicious.“

“Fifer's is the best all you can eat Seafood place in Maryland to me. The customer service is always great when I go and the food is delicious. I would recommend Fifer's Seafood to all my family and friends anytime. Keep up the great work.“

“Went there Saturday night for my 73 Birthday The staff was wonderful the food was delicious I had the crab cake platter I wished I would of taken pictures of all the food we ordered There was 7 of us, we were to busy eating . I will definitely be going back Thank you for making my Birthday special“

“Great food and drink, with live music on weekends!“

“I just left Juicy king. The catfish was amazing along with my shrimp fried rice!!!!❤️“

“We sat out front and the service and food was great. We loved the seared tuna nachos (each bite was perfect), the crab cake platter - fresh delicious crab with minimal filler, the fish and chips, and the crab penne vodka pasta with fresh crab on top. Fries were great and chicken chipotle sandwich was good too, as were the drinks!“

“Wonderful food and atmosphere. Plus my kiddo chefs there 😊😊😊“

“Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, delicious food! We loved our brunch! It's our new favorite spot!“

“A truly special place to eat with a wide selection of food and wines.“

“Best restaurant 5stars and clean“

“Jessica the owner is super nice and really cares about her customers, always a great time“

“I regularly visit both the café and dining locations, and both have a wonderful ambiance for solo working (reading, studying, etc.), as well as meeting with friends for coffee. Scrumptious and interesting food fare, and truly warm and memorable service. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been lovely, but special mention to Eric, Daniel, and Grant, whose hospitality has been inviting and impeccable every time. Always looking forward to my next visit!“

“Todo está muy rico 😋 lo recomiendo 💯“

“It's like eating dinner at your grandmother's house this family is so welcoming and the jumbo lump crab cakes are the best I've ever had the pleasure to eat they even have a salad bar which you don't see very often these days they are celebrating their 75th anniversary this year and deservedly so!“

“Best Seafood around! Awesome Customer Service!“
