“Best Crabs Ever! My husband and I travel an hour from Baltimore just to get the number ones! A Bushel last us 2 days if only our house hold are eating. I have never enjoyed crabs like these before. Must put your order in early because they sell out fast. ????(Maryland) Home Of The Best Crabs You’ll Ever Taste!“

“Really excellent service from everyone that works there. Enjoyed lunch with my 1 year old in tow - she walked the entire restaurant and was welcomed by every staff member. Really lovely to visit a restaurant so accepting of young kids! It really made the lunch extra special. Food was obviously delicious!“

“A personal favorite! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great and pretty family friendly.Kid-friendliness: Yes, it's pretty kid friendly. Kid food options are good, and it's not a quiet restaurant so if they make a little noise they aren't disruptive“

“My husband and I come here quite often since we only live a few minutes away. What a gem! The food is always amazing and it's a beautiful, comfortable restaurant and bar with outdoor seating in Historic Stevensville. On our last visit we both had the arugula salad (fresh, simple, delicious) and the special fish entree of the evening--swordfish piccata with sauted broccolini and risotto. Outstanding, we both licked out plates. Great cocktails and the service is always good.“

“I'm new to the Eastern Shore, but this is where my new friends took me for dinner. It is a wonderful place, especially on a spring evening out on the deck. The food is delicious, the crab cakes are wonderful, but the crab imperial is even better. This is where ai bring all my visitors now.“

“David’s the greatest! We always ask for him for our server because he is so friendly and welcoming, and is very attentive. The restaurant manager always checks on the tables to say hello and is very nice. The sushi is creative and always prepared with top quality ingredients and freshness. They have a lot of delicious rolls you won’t find at other places.This is our go-to sushi place on Kent Island! Love it!“

“Great Maryland family cooking, loaded with seafood. Fantastic (and gluten free) Maryland primo crab cakes. Love the cream of crab soup and oysters are cooked beautifully. (I’ll note I was too impatient to taste it to take a picture before I took a bite!)Dietary restrictions: We had someone with a gluten and dairy allergy in our group who was able to find a lot of wonderful options and edits to traditional dishes.“

“My husband and I had dinner at 18Twenty last night. Wow! What a fantastic dinner! We had Scallops, Oysters, Calamari, Black Forest Cheesecake, a delectable Grapefruit Basil Martini, and more. Each creation was outstanding. In addition, the service is wonderful and the ambiance cozy. We had an engaging discussion with Mark, who came around to tables to see how they were doing. It was fun and quite satisfying. For us, Kent Island Resort has become our first choice for quality dining.“

“Epic meal. We got 1/2 doz medium crabs (that’s all that was left- you know it’s good when they sell out well before closing) and the seafood combo with shrimp, crab meat, coleslaw and French fries. I was covered in crab dust and old bay seasoning throughout the meal. Crab never tasted so sweet.“

“This place was really good !!!The fried oysters was really good as well as the crab cake sandwich!!Had to come back 2 visits in one day !! Thank Liz and Haley upstairs for all there help and recommendations !!See you all again !!Major Chesapeake Bay go to place !!!!“

“Stopped here on the way to Rehoboth. This place is great. Nice views of the marina and the water, also very close to 50 without eating right on the highway.I tried the fish tacos and they were delicious. I certainly will make this a more routine stop in the future.Next time crabs!“

“What a fun place! We stopped by The Jetty for dinner on Saturday evening. The place was crowded but the service was quick! Only a few minute wait for a table for 2. The inside dining space is small. Majority of the guests were outside on the pier. The outside dining had several tables, a bar, live music, and water front views! The atmosphere was great, sitting outside right near the water is so relaxing and enjoyable.Service was great. Food was good too! The crispy rockfish wrap was really good. Soft shell BLT was awesome too! Pineapple mojito was excellent. Parking outside of the Jetty can be hard to find, but there is a separate lot across the street, only a few min walk.Stop by here for food and entertainment, you won’t be disappointed!Noted on the menu that kids menus are available, just ask. They also have a doggie menu!Parking: Parking right outside the restaurant is tight. There is a large, free lot across the street.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available upon request“

“The food is absolutely amazing. Best crab cakes I've had. Wife said only 2nd to mine. Spoke with the new owner(since Feb2023) great guy who has his family helping him there. Definitely will be going back on a regular basis. It's our new favorite spot. Date night was amazingDietary restrictions: Lots of GF options“

“A year later and i can give the 5th star. The staff here really makes the place run well. The menu has good diversity and have not been disappointed yet. They have gotten better over the past year. The outside bar when open is the place to be. Well done Libby's.“

“We stopped for lunch on a Saturday about 2pm. We're seated right away. Service was quick and friendly. Food came out quickly and was delicious. Nice portions and good prices too! It's right on the water so great views from many tables throughout the restaurant.“
