Captain Pat’s Seafood

My wife really liked her snow crabs, and my fried oysters were equally as good. The cole slaw was another pleasant surprise.

Food was incredible, best crab cake and clam strips I've ever had. Service was friendly and attentive, and the view from the patio is great.

My experience was really bad cause the seafood platter is completely crap, shrimps and scallops were overcooked and definitely cooked in old oil,no sause for this dish also. Overpriced for this size of dish.Our waitress tried to do the best but she couldn't fix the food. You can find dirty places inside the building. The location is awesome im sorry that food in this place so bad. Kids play zone is terrible and also with no cover of the sun. Disappointed.

Food was delicious! The coleslaw was good! I love how it is served in small cup. It’s just the right amount. Outdoor view was stunning and feels private!

Great meal, very reasonably priced. Cosy atmosphere. Warm and friendly Southern Maryland hospitality. Recommend highly, definitely worth the trip.

Delicious seafood and good vibes. Slightly expensive but worth it.

Another wonderful dinner at Capt Pat's! Your specials are amazing! Thank you Toni, your service was perfect!

My family and I eat here a few times a month and we’re never disappointed. Service is always friendly, food is always great. Loveeee their fried clams!

We drove down from Alexandria to explore the town of Solomons and surrounding area today. After checking out the town and marinas, an early seafood dinner was next. Captain Pat’s Seafood restaurant popped up, complete with 5-star reviews, and we headed down there via lovely winding country roads.
WOW. We were not disappointed! After joking with Ashley (our on-the-ball server and Capt Pat’s wonderful wife) about my longing for raw oysters and seldom finding anywhere that knew how to serve them correctly, I decided to put them to the test. Within 10 mins a dozen raw arrived at our table, perfectly served very chilled on a bed of ice, with lemon slices, cocktail & horseradish sauce, and crackers on the side. They were delicious, and washed down with a Yuengling served in an ice cold beer glass - this team knows how to do it right! 😄🍺
My daughter had the crab dip starter, served with hot buttered seasoned french bread. It was exquisite.
Buoyed by the success of these starters, there was no stopping us - we each dived into “Pat’s Pick ‘em Platters”, my daughter with the fried shrimp & crab balls, and me with the steamed shrimp & clam strips. All very good. Half way through all of that, we had to accept that our initial very keen appetites may have over-estimated our internal ‘capacity capability’! 🤣
No worries, sturdy take-out containers magically appeared, and I ordered the 8-layer Smith Island Cake to go. It later proved to be as yummy as I could have hoped for.
All the seafood served at Captain Pat’s is fresh and never frozen, and locally sourced. They make the effort to do even the small things that make privately-owned restaurants special, like mixing their own cocktail & horseradish sauce, and from our server to our busser, to the oysters personally shucked by Captain Pat himself, one can tell that all the staff at Captain Pat’s take tons of pride in everything they do for their customers.
Prices are very reasonable for fresh local seafood, see the photos of the menus I supplied for details. Tons of free parking is directly outside, and a quaint marina with bobbing sailboats waits for you to stroll around after your meal.
Our dinner at Captain Pat’s wasn’t just dinner, it was a fun, delightful and delicious casual dining experience that my daughter and I will remember. We will certainly be back when next in the area.
Congratulations to Captain Pat, Ashley, and all the staff for making our day, cheers! 👍🏻🐟👏🏻
PS: In case you were wondering 😄 - No, I am never compensated or influenced by anyone for my reviews, I just love promoting local businesses who take the trouble to go the extra mile for their customers. I encourage you to please do the same. 🙏🏻

Parking: Lots of free parking directly outside the restaurant.

Not every privately owned restaurant are great at handling a group of 22, but Captain Pat's has done it for us twice! Food is excellent, prices are fair and portions are generous. OYC thanks Ashley and all the staff!
