“Excellent food and service. I will definitely go back here to try the other dishes. Really nice and quiet neighborhood. The chicken wings are really good. I like the old bay honey flavor. The mussels are fresh and delicious. It has a hint of spicy sausage. The shrimp taco was really good too. Everything we had was surprisingly really good.“

“Great food and views!****UPDATE - has been under new management for a couple of years and they have not been able to keep up with what the previous owners achieved. It’s a great waterfront spot for a tiki bar and Sandy outside area - which they have. The food and drinks have gone downhill in the last few years since my first review.Vegetarian options: They have salads on the menu. If you are not pescatarian then you will be disappointed unless French fries are what you’re looking for.Parking: Parking is weird. There are a handful of spots near the restaurant and down the hill. The main/overflow parking is about 750ft from the restaurant at a marina.Kid-friendliness: Kids can play in the sand outside. But the vibe is much more adult and that of a bar, not a family restaurant. It’s a day drinking spot for sure. Lots of boaters.Wheelchair accessibility: The outside area is definitely wheelchair accessible. The restaurant is ground floor but the entrance at the front is small and has a couple of tighter turns and one step up.“

“I've been going to BTI since I moved to Maryland in 2000. First as a young adult with my parents and now my husband and I continue the tradition. We've seen a lot of changes over the years with the decor and menu items, all lovely additions, but one thing that's remained the same are the great full crabs and the BEST seasoning in town! We always keep BTI's seasoning on hand at home for the times we steam our own. This is THE place for fresh steamed crabs, and of course the amazing, tasty in-house seasoning! The staff is always friendly and attentive! You must go!!“

“The atmosphere and general vibe of the place was awesome, it’s definitely going to be a rocking place in the summer months. The food was very expensive and generally just alright, nothing really extraordinary but also not bad. For the price point of a lot of the entrees and starters they may need to up the quality of the food a bit.The outdoor seating areas are really nice and I would definitely come back for happy hour, drinks and live music!“

“We had our wedding here. Island View Waterfront Cafe was everything we envisioned for our wedding!! It had that backyard wedding feel with GORGEOUS waterfront views! Jess was absolutely amazing to work with and her love for weddings and desire for you to have your dream day is evident after working with her. She is a great communicator and was a huge help during the different planning stages of our wedding. During our rehearsal and on the day of I came to her with all the questions and she had already had the answers and plans for those worked out and she is a HUGE reason why our day went so smoothly! We love and Cherish being an Island View Couple!!Some cool perks: flexibility to pick our own vendors; chairs and tables were included in the rental; we rented out the the evening before for our rehearsal and hosted an informal pizza party as we were setting up and organizing all the decor which made everything so much easier; you get to work with Jess and I can't say enough good things about her!!“

“I’ve been getting crabs from them for years. I use to call Jim and tell him I was coming from Howard County and he would wait for me if it was close to closing. Jim was the sweetest man, and I’m glad that the family has continued to provide great crabs. My family comes from NY and NJ to have their crabs!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“
