This is one restaurant that is so worth dining at. The menu, the food, the spirits, and the service are just wonderful.

Parking: Located in a small town on the Susquehanna River that has marinas, a bar restaurant on the water etc that attracts many people especially during the summer can make parking difficult during weekends in the summer...but dinner at Backfin is worth the parking situation.

Stopped in for dinner while in the area. Background Blues Bar& Grill is located in the small town of Port Deposit along the Susquehanna River. They are an upscale American restaurant. We had octopus ceviche, crab cakes, and lamb chops. Everything was excellent. The service was friendly and efficient as well. We will certainly return.

This place was amazing! We were at great wolf lodge and wanted some good food. This place did not disappoint! Everything was amazing…the duck fries, scallops, sirloin, lamb and crab dip. The chef does not hold back..we left so full! They even helped us celebrated my son’s 3rd birthday.

I recently had brunch at Black and Blues Restaurant in Maryland. The restaurant looked inviting from the outside and is situated in a charming town near the water. However, the view from the outdoor dining area is now partially blocked by new condos that have been built behind the restaurant. Although it was warm outside, the patio fan offered some relief.

The food was just okay. The burger was decent, but the short-rib grilled cheese was disappointing—it was excessively greasy and the bread was soggy. Some guests in my party also mentioned that the waffles were cold, but I could overlook that. Additionally, the porch area was becoming overrun with ants, which was quite off-putting.

The main reason I won’t be returning is an unpleasant observation made by a member of my dining party. They noticed that our waitress went into the restroom, skipped washing her hands, and only used the sink to check her hair in the mirror. While I understand that such incidents can happen, this particular experience, combined with the average quality of the food, significantly diminished my overall impression of the restaurant.

Fire and Ice tuna was a good appetizer. French onion soup was oddly sweet, strange for that dish. The calamari with banana peppers was a good idea gone awry. Easily half the dish was banana peppers. The mushroom ravioli was the biggest disappointment in a poor food evening. Watery extremely salty broth, rather than a savory creamy one. You'd expect more for a $30 plate of ravioli.

Couldn’t ask for better. Randomly stopped on a ride from Baltimore to Delaware . Will make the stop now every time . Stuffed shrimp with huge pieces of crab. Even though it was brunch they made a dinner entree of seafood pasta that was amazing. Bartender and staff were not just attentive they were welcoming. If you are thinking of going there just go !

Great place near the water. We stayed at Great Wolf and so glad we left the resort to get some awesome local cuisine. Very good drinks, shared a bunch of apps, and had one of the best Asian tuna noodle meals ever.

The food was decent, but the service was horrible!! It took about 30 minutes to get our refills. We drank an entire pitcher of water in that time. Our salads never came out. Our food came out cool. Overall we were there for over 2 hours. Waiting most of the time, thirst and hungry. They did not even offer to take the drinks off the bill. Sadly, it was not worth the price, which we were happy to pay for a great experience. Disappointing
