“If you are looking for a variety of good food and excellent seafood the Boatyard Bar and Grill is a wonderful location to dine.Parking: Friday night is a busy time to find parking. Parking is street parking only, there is no private parking or a parking garage.“

“Amazing! Went for 2nd time last night - both times were with same Meetup group. Food was amazing! Appetizers, entrees, and desserts - all wonderful. And service was excellent! Tony was our server. He was gracious with a great personality. We will definitely go back!“

“It is a pricer place but the food food was fantastic. The firecracker crab bomb was one of our favorite dishes along with their crab dip! We also got the mariners platter with was amazing. However, their steamed shrimp tasted a little fishy to me. Other than that, everything was perfect, and we will be back again!“

“Prices here have become very high for a chain pasta place. Chicken dishes at Outback, their sister restaurant, are $15 and here chicken dishes are now outrageous at $22-25 dollars for smaller portions. Spent more for soup and salad at dinner for 5 small shrimp than I would have paid for an excellent filet at Texas Roadhouse with a ton of leftovers. Used to be a favorite place of mine, but with gluten allergies and huge price increases these past 2 years find it difficult to frequent. Above average food for a chain at fine dining prices. No longer a good value.Dietary restrictions: Staff accommodating and somewhat familiar with food allergies.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible.“

“Kudos to Carroll’s Creek for a superb wine dinner last evening. The food was so delicious, service was impeccable and was accompanied by great Argentinian wines. We always have really good meals here, but the dinner last evening was outstanding in every way. Thank you to the sommelier, chef, kitchen staff, and servers who made for such an enjoyable evening.“

“So when we first walked in the owner was super friendly and inviting. He immediately offered a fried shrimp sample and their seasoning was really good. The crab cake had large chunks of crab and the hush puppies were crunchie on the outside and moist and sweet on the inside. Owner was very nice and other people that were regulars gave good recommendations. Now my new fried shrimp, crab cake, hush puppy place!“

“We had a delicious meal at Luna Blu. The burrata appetizer is excellent and a large portion. Each of us had pasta. Mine was the gluten free Pasta Genovese, with pesto and added Italian sausage. It was outstanding. Our server was very helpful and attentive to our needs. Highly recommended“

“OMGosh, we just got Large males from Kent Island Seafood and they were absolutely delicious. They were huge, heavy and filled with mustard. Seasoned to perfection. We will tell others and will be return customers. Kudos to Kent Island Seafood. Sincerely, Ed V.“

“We came in around 8, so I expected to get rushed service. Boy was I wrong, Jake was amazing! He gave great recommendations (pecan encrusted salmon phenomenal btw) and he knew his menu up and down. The kitchen did amazing food was piping hot and fresh. Usually it’s hard to get great service now a days but this was such a pleasant visit. Will definitely be back, thanks again Jake!!“

“I wanted to stay in Annapolis but wasn't quite sure what I wanted to eat. Did a quick search and found this delight of a place. I was able to make reservations on the same day (Saturday) My wife and I arrived and were quickly seated. The restaurant has a nice intimate feel however this place was jumping. Tons of people inside with everyone having a good time. Our waitress was sweet. Made good suggestions and was very attentive. For starters we ordered the Crispy Calamri while my wife had a lemon drop for a drink. The Clamari was in fact crispy. Very solid crunch. The marinara sauce was PIPING hot. Good start to our dinner. The lemon drop was a good mix of alcohol and juice. They provide you the cup along with the remainder on the side. BIG TIME PLUS. For Dinner, I was starving. I ordered the Steak N Fries, along with the Rockfish and Not your Ordinary Mac & Cheese. The steak was delicious! Nice and juicy. Cooks to perfection. Fries were crispy. The Fish was tasty and the mashed potatoes were GREAT!!! The Mac & Cheese is definitely not ordinary. There was a tangy taste that I could do without. It was missing something but the rest of my food was so good I could easily overcook it. My wife ordered the Steak Brazil with mashed Potatoes & Broccoli. She also enjoyed her food. Broccoli was fresh. Mashed Potatoes were delicious. She preferred the filet cooked a little more but still ate them. I'd happily come back and plan on returning to J. Alexander. It was a great time. Great service, Wonderful atmosphere, and good food. I enjoyed myself.“

“We apparently came on a bar crawl night but we still got seated for dinner immediately. Our server, Brooke, was great. She gave us time to ask questions and read through the menu/drinks. We ordered a calamari appetizer, chicken Riesling and crab cake dinner. All was great and my husband said the crab cake was one of the best he ever ate. My chicken had a creamier sauce with mushrooms and bacon. Very tasty! For dessert we had the special Bailey's cheesecake. It was topped with a thick piece of chocolate (not my favorite) but the creamy center was delicious. It was extremely loud but beyond that the food was good!“

“Went here for my bday and it was my friends first time here. My family loves this restaurant. Wish it was little more bday friendly though.Food was really good, my picky eater child also loved it. Price wasn't bad either. Will probably return sometime soon with my mom & sister.“

“The ingredients are very fresh!This is the first time I have eaten oysters that are not salty. The oysters have no fishy smell and are paired with sauce. Even if you don’t dare to eat oysters, they are worth trying. They are very refreshing.There are also some fried oysters, which add more aroma of oil compared to raw ones. The light seasoning also brings out the umami flavor of the ingredients. I like it very much?“

“I grew up in Lake Shore but live in Rochester, NY. This is our place to get a taste of Maryland when we visit! Always great flavor and huge portions. Additionally, friendly, helpful staff! As my 83yr old mom navigates cancer treatment and little appetite, her bright spot is the funnel fries and a cup of soup. We thank you for being patient with us on New Year's Eve as the last customers of the night! Forever customers!“

“Great riverside view. Very nicely seasoned blue crabs. I would say we expected better of the Lump Crabcake Platter. The crabcakes were a bit small for the $50 price, especially when compared to the size at Chick and Ruth's Deli, and the sides were just okay. However, I did like how the crab cakes had the orange roe from the crabs, and the taste was excellent.Other than that, good service even though it's a very busy place. We were given a 30 min wait at around 3pm on a Sunday. However, we were seated within 15 min and were very pleased. It took us a bit for someone to come to our table initially, but after that, we were tended to frequently.“

“Came here in the summer and it is just what you could want from a seafood experience. The crab pretzel was melty, rich, and delicious, and the stuffed shrimp was fresh and full of flavor. Everyone was kind and lovely, and this is such a wonderful and warm place to sit down for lunch!! I just can't recommend enough. 1000% worth a stop!!“

“So happy that SOB is back and better than ever. The oysters are hands down the best in town. Lobster was great, but my favorites are still the octopus and smoked fish dip- waited 2 years and it was worth it. Best staff, great vibe, best restaurant in Annapolis.“

“Food, service and management are awesome. Just had 6 delicious big crabs, 2 suckulent lobsters together with their liquid gold cleared butter. Man, what a feast! All there food has always been the best! Thanks Tim always for your service. Crabs particularly are cooked to perfection with your amazing seasoning. thanks always... Only place to get crabs, seafood/shellfish and dinners to cook and bake... Way cheaper than the restaurant and more for your buck.. Eat at home as you please and enjoy with family and friends.“

“Been here a few times now and it never disappoints! We’ve only ever gotten the Bar Harbor rolls and I think $25 is a totally fair price for the amount of meat and quality. The rolls are very tasty and the staff are friendly! Of course this isn’t the same as an actual lobster roll from Maine but it also isn’t the same price nor do you have to go the distance. I will continue coming here, this place is great!!“

“This is about a take out order so I understand I didn't get the full Memo's experience. Service was quick and polite. The food was ready when I got there. Once at home the food just didn't have much flavor. My fish still had bones in it. Appetizer was disappointing. I probably won't go back again.“

“This was my first time timing despite living in Annapolis for years. We never went because of negative reviews we had heard from a family member. I am glad we gave it a try because it was an amazing dinner date night. The ambiance / decor is beautiful, tables aren’t too close together, we were very comfortable sitting by a window. Our server was incredibly attentive and I even complimented him at the end of the night for his great service! As for the food we literally ate ever single bite - we started with bread service then apps we ordered the buffalo fried oyster - they were amazing. Dinner I ordered crabcakes and my husband ordered a lobster special. See my pictures for how beautiful the presentation was and it was delicious!!! Overall A+ date night and I would return!!“

“Celebrated birthdays at brunch ..we all enjoyed our meals...my first try at Chicken and waffles...it was delicious. Our server, Diana, was charming , lovely and efficient . I give her 5 stars...very enjoyable visit...we will return for sure.“

“The food was really good, although beware of over ordering if you get the all you can eat so you don't have to force yourself to eat towards the end! Portions are also pretty large so take that into account when you order. I didn't try the Cajun seafood but am curious about it.“

“My "small" lo mein was closer to a med/large. They filled a small, and it was so full they double packed it in another container. Hospitality was top-notch, so warm and inviting to my family. We orderd combo lo mein, cream cheese wonton, and sautéed carrots/brocc. Delicious!“

“Crab-Town USA Is a great atmosphere to Dine in or Take out. Waitresses in bartenders are always efficient and fast. Super nice an relatable down to Earth they definitely work hard for their tips. This place is always Neat and Tidy, Clean the bar is never dirty tables always clean. This place Is kid friendly they have Pinball machines Arcades games for everybody. They just have a little bit of everything on the menu, at a decent price. They make their cakes in house I believe a slice of cake is $6.50 but it's a hardy piece of cake ???? Crab-Town also has Maryland lottery they have Keno RaceTrack and Scratch -Offs. Parking is easy and accessible, even on a pack night they have more than enough parking. This place is also wheelchair accessible they never have a problem to accommodate your needs to move a couple chairs around. They do take large parties, it's always good to call ahead if you have a large party tho. Great place to Dine-In or Takeout.Parking: They always have more then enough parking, even on a slammed night.Kid-friendliness: Crab Town is kid-friendly while waiting for ur food instead the kids getting impatient they have a bunch of pinball machines and arcade games that are kid /adult friendly. This place is always very neat clean great atmosphere for the whole family.Wheelchair accessibility: Crab town is wheelchair friendly they never have a problem with moving seats around to accommodate you and your needs.“

“Excellent ??????I enjoyed the Chicken ? and ? Shrimp ?I customized my order with vegetables and fried rice ?. I choose to top my order with Teriyaki sauce, scallions and sesame seeds.Very nice portions. Good value for the money.Parking: There is plenty of free parking ?️ in the rear. The parking in the front is limited because of all the stores. This restaurant is located on the corner.“

“We gave this place a try last week when we had a friend staying with us from out of town. It is about what you'd expect from the branding and menu! Our server was super friendly and on the ball with refilling our drinks. There was a band warming up on a Saturday night around 6/630, but the waitress said they didn't start playing until later that night (like 8 or 9pm, I forget the exact time!). It seemed like it would be loud when they started playing, though. The menu was diverse and had tons of options for everyone. We ordered two appetizers (loaded cauliflower/Brussels sprouts and steamed shrimp). Two of us ordered burgers and the third ordered a salad. The appetizers came out quickly and then less than five minutes later our entrees came out- we could have used slower pacing between the two to relax and enjoy our meal. All of the food was good- although it wasn't amazing, everything was solid. Our only complaint was that some of the shrimp were overcooked, but the majority were cooked well. While we were able to get seated right away, there was a few groups waiting by the time we left. Overall, we are glad we gave this place a try and will likely be back!“

“While visiting my sister, my husband kept saying he wanted to try Dungeness Crab (us thinking this is the whole crab everyone is eating) so she googled and found this spot.We got clams and oysters for appetizers. My daughter order the kids fried clams and shrimp basket with the corn fritters (she was overjoyed with her food selection lol!). My sister and I had steamed crab legs and my husband went with the dungeness crab, when the order arrived at the table we realized we must have chose the wrong thing. After asking our waiter we found out that the whole crabs are Maryland blue crab and it wasn’t on the menu you just have to ask for them. That’s the only thing that sucked because we had no idea, but lesson learned I guess.Everything was good and tasted fresh. Loved the atmosphere as well. Will definitely be eating here again next visit to order that blue crab!(Was being greedy and only remembered pictures of the appetizers ?)“

“We went to Severn inn for the first time a few weeks ago. This place is spectacular. Best water views in Anne Arundel county. The food is amazing. Lauren our server was the sweetest and provided excellent service. We have no reason to go anywhere else for meals anymore. Severn inn is by far the best restaurant in the area.“

“The food was excellent. The server was very friendly and attentive.The only issue was the wait for the beautifully crafted cocktails. They need a 2nd bartender. We were there early and it wasn't crowded but still had quite a wait on our drinks.“

“It was our first time trying Pasadena Seafood, we found them on Google just scrolling for crab places. Prices are the best around.This place definitely knocked it out of the park for crabs. We got 2 dozen of mixed and there wasn't a bad crab in the bunch.They were heavy, full and plenty of flavor. The Employees that serviced us were very professional, helpful, well mannered and knowledgeable. Definitely have a returning customer here.I would definitely recommend this place for your crab cravings. You won't be disappointed.“

“We absolutely loved this place. I can not begin to say how good all of the food was. Both of our meals were absolutely amazing and everyone else’s food looked soooooo good. The bartender was absolutely amazing herself too. She made our experience great. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who looking for some good food !Parking: Plenty of free parkingKid-friendliness: Kid friendly“

“AMAZING!! We had AZTK cater our NYE party and the food was outstanding and the service was even better! They were super efficient and professional start to finish! Very accommodating and supportive through the process is making selections etc. We ordered and picked up food for our event the same week! No issues! I would highly recommend using them for a party or any event!“

“Idk what they do with their crab dip but it’s so airy and delicious. The pretzel/bread it comes in is so good it’s insane. The bartenders here are also incredible and super accommodating! We loved this place when it was Magothy seafood and we were so skeptical when it became the point…we’re fools. They gave this place such a glow up.Parking: There are a ton of spots all over the marina. Just make sure you’re noting if the spot has signs for marina parking only. There are only a few and the signs will make them really obvious :)“

“Food is great with a very inventive chef and crew. Always coming up with delicious, different entrees and apps. The bar is well stocked with almost anything you want. Including "Pickle shots". The bartenders are friendly and funny. The wait staff keeps your food coming and are attentive. The rest of the staff keeps your table clean and can get you incidentals. Best part? They support many fantastic, local bands with varying musical interests. Rumor Reel is a patron of the local music scene which gives you great music and a great time...oh, and they're on the water complete with Tiki bar and outside music pavilion. Get there!“

“We can’t remember the last time we went out and everything was amazing. But it happened last night! From start to finish our experience at Chart House was fantastic. Our server, Benjamin, was attentive and charming. Our food was so delicious, especially the whole branzino. And lest we forget the “made in house” mint chocolate chip ice cream!!! We will definitely be back!“

“I have to drive from Ellicott City to get there, but if I want to eat crabs, I always go there first. Not only do they have Big and Meaty crabs, but they sometimes have soft crabs, and oysters. Dave and his son are easy to deal with, and I have always gotten what I thought was a nice value.“

“We come here about once a year and this time was especially excellent. Jayden (sorry if I’m misspelling that) was our server and he was fantastic. Attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, willing to request a particular old fashioned from the bar (as in, I asked for a specific ratio), truly a great experience. As usual, the food and atmosphere was excellent. Definitely try the Smith Island cake; we hadn’t before and we’ve been missing out! Plus it *is* the official state cake of Maryland.“

“Delicious and worth it! I got the crab cake sandwich it was fresh and worth every penny. I don’t eat seafood all the time but this a go to spot. Will be back during fall to get soup. My neighbor comes here for the breakfast and loves it as well. Support local!!“

“Crabs were delicious and ready fast and nice and full. The pricing was also really good for Anne Arundel!! They also have cold crab specials and other types of seafood. I'm sad I didn't try them until recently but this will definitely be the regular spot now.“

“Went to Mike’s crab house from a recommendation I saw on Reddit of great seafood in Maryland.We got there at about 9:15pm and they happily welcomed us in. We ordered crabs and they said their cut off for crabs was 9:00 pm and they still let us put our order in. THANK YOU!We got a half dozen medium crabs and the seafood sampler, both SO good and came out quick.I’ll definitely be going there again when I’m in Annapolis.“

“I love having breakfast in this place, a very American atmosphere, the food and menu are super good and a lot to choose from, the desserts are delicious, the service from the moment you enter the restaurant greets you and seating you quickly, which I love because there are places where they don't care that you are standing there waiting and the service at your table is excellent. In my experience visiting other places for breakfast this place is great. We live in Upper Marlboro and don't mind driving to Annapolis to eat and feel good. So Great Job Double T Diner. Wheelchair accessibility: Yesss.“

“The best Chinese food for miles. They have good vegetarian options and are usually accurate with special orders. The delivery drivers seem to have been the same few people for years, they bring the food warm and they're professional. Don't forget to tip.Vegetarian options: Many dishes available in vegetarian options, the tofu is cooked well, and there are dishes that are typically meat based that you can find a vegetarian version of on the menu.“

“Perfection at its finest! Wonderful experience with amazing food options. If you are looking for delicious, flavorful, and eye appealing plates then look no further. Eggspectation is an outstanding local eatery that touches on an industrial feel with eggscellent food choices. The serves, especially Liam, are attentive, professional, and provide suggestions that meet everyone’s needs. We look forward to visiting again!“

“I wanted to eat "Fish & Chips" and we went to this restaurant for the first time, we thought it was excellent: we waited less than 15 minutes to sit at the table, the service was excellent and the food was excellent! I recommend the Fish & Chips, the calamari starter and the mango sangria.“

“The teriyaki salmon blew my mind. I have never had a flavor stop me mid first bite and active a new taste buds. I can't explain how fantastic all the food here was. By far the best Sushi I have ever had in my life, let alone the single best piece of Salmon I have ever had. I live an hour away from this place and would 100% drive an hour again to eat here!!!“

“Seafood was really good. We had a great waitress and bartender was cool too. We had a good time. Would give five stars for seafood, but the key lime pie was too sugary and sort of heavy.Vegetarian options: Not many and mostly fried foodDietary restrictions: Not many low fat options“

“This fun quirky restaurant is just my style. I was staying at a nearby cabin for the weekend, and the owners recommended it Perfect for breakfast with a warm and friendly staff. I highly recommend the pancakes they even offer smaller sized portions of everything! It is important to know that this is a counter seating restaurant (no table service). The unique seating and ordering system may throw off some people, but I actually really enjoyed it. Coffee is help yourself so you can pick your own mug and your own flavor of coffee. Impressed me most was the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. When the couple behind me left the restaurant, it took less than 30 seconds for the crew to clear their table and clean it for the next patron. This is definitely my new local favorite“
