Beer Bars in Grasonville, MD

“My wife and I do a lunch date every other week at someplace we've never been in Maryland. Usually more than 30 miles or so from home. On this day we decided to go across the Bay Bridge (IYKYK) and get some seafood. With destination unknown we ended up at the Jetty because my wife wanted something by the water. It's about 20 minutes past the bridge on the eastern shore side.

It was a fun little place with seating outdoors on a jetty with additional indoor seating. We sat outside. It was a spectacular fall day, a bit windy for on the water but the staff was placing everyone out of the wind and they had more than enough space to do so. The food was typical MD fare, which always includes 🦀 We didn't have time, I personally don't like hammering my food, for fresh steamed crab but it was on the menu. Several patrons were busy hammering away at their order. I opted for stuffed flounder. Again there was nothing really outstanding about the food but it was good and plentiful. The cup of crab soup I had was really good and stands out as the best part of the meal.

The real winner was the view and the wild ducks who roam the jetty. The mix and mingle amongst the patrons hoping from a distance that your will feed them or drop some food they can get to. Tempting but not allowed. They were well behaved and entertaining. The photos come from a bench right next to the restaurant but that is the same view from the outdoor seating. If you have a boat, you can moor right there at the restaurant until evening. It was worth the drive and we'll go back in the spring.“
