Ruddy Duck Seafood & Alehouse

I found this place on a motorcycle ride from Annapolis last year and can say I regret it took me 8 months to come try it. The views and atmosphere were wonderful. We had a a great server but I unfortunately didn’t remember her name so I could acknowledge her on her. The salad dressings, cocktail sauce, tartar sauce and Aïoli that we had were all made in house alone with the Key Lime Cheesecake. Our server mentioned they were known for their crabcakes and wow I can see why. These are actually made like you’d expect your crabcake to be made. Duck fat fries are a must! Our entrées were very good and I peeped the table next to us and theirs look delicious also. I wouldn’t hesitate to order anything on the menu. In fact we were already discussing our next trip back to try more of the food. If you just want to sit at the bar, the bar top itself faces the water with great views. A lot of IPA’s that they brew locally at thier sister location.

Good place to dock your boat and have lunch

This is the best getaway place. Scenic views, great food, fantastic drinks and a great serving staff.
We like to sit at the back area at the bar where the windows show a wonderful calming view of the water.
The beers and cocktails are perfect.
The bartenders are all great and provide good service and lively conversation. The local St. George's oysters are delicate and quite tasty.
The chicken wings are cooked just right Light crispy and flavorful.
My husband had the au jus sandwich which full of flavor. Great slices of meat and bread to dip in a great au jus. I don't order this sandwich at places anymore because the flavor and meat is usually lacking. The Ruddy Duck is in point. In the past we've gotten the Argentinian steak which has been fabulous. Yes, I know we are in the water and I adore seafood. However, my non seafood eating husband got that steak and it was delicious. The Ruddy Duck at Piney Point is my venue for a calm relaxing weekend. It incorporates
good food &drink, good people and a beautiful scene for Maryland water lovers.

We came to the Ruddy Duck while in town visiting family so we could have a belated anniversary date.. We had a most incredible experience...our server David was attentive and pleasant without being over bearing...his menu recommendations were on point! The crab dip is stellar...my husband and I got what was on special...he got the crab cake burger with duck fat fries and I got the steak frites...everything was cooked perfectly! The duck fat fries beat out the well known ones from our current home town, and the steak was melt in your mouth...the mushroom peppercorn sauce was to DIE for... I was so thrilled that Chef agreed to sell me a small container of just the sauce to take home. My husband is going to regret that he brought me, because now we are going to have to go back every time we come back to visit family...10 stars out of 5! ❤️

This was the only place around Piney Point and they were busy. Aside from an understandable delay the food and service were good. Great views also.
