About Port Tobacco Restaurant

Port Tobacco Restaurant, now known as PTR Waterfront in Charles County, MD, offers wonderful views of the Port Tobacco River, especially from the outdoor deck. The setting is quiet, scenic, and a great place to watch the birds and the water. The atmosphere is calm, peaceful, and relaxing, making it a great spot for a summer visit or a special event. One reviewer held a wedding rehearsal dinner there with approximately 35 guests and found the food absolutely delicious and the decorations beautiful. Another reviewer enjoyed the crab balls and the truffle rosemary chips, both described as delicious, along with reasonably priced and generous drinks. The crab dip and pretzels are also mentioned as something to look forward to. However, some dishes were underwhelming. The cream of crab soup was overpriced and small, though the flavor was decent. The three shrimp tacos were good, and the fries with a burger were crispy and well-seasoned, but the burger itself was basic. The crab cake sandwich was decent but did not stand out. Beer selection was limited, with Sierra Nevada available in a can only. Service was fine, but the restroom smelled and had no soap. Overall, go for the views and the peaceful waterfront setting.

I absolutely love this restaurant!!!
I’ve had several great experiences there. From the food to the staff, (I only drink beer so I can’t comment on the drinks) to the entertainment and you gotta praise the ambience and the view from that deck!!!
There’s nothing to compare it to when it comes to view!!
The whole place has been refreshed and has a very clean feel.
And a shout out to the staff!
Especially the youngsters🩵🩷
All polite and friendly.

Went to PTR for the first time since the reopening. Finally another good restaurant to add to the list! (Galazio, Charles Street, and Il Gusto Ristorante) The decor is very nicely done and everything looks fresh. Our crab dip was on point and hot! The new ramekin kept the dip nice and hot until we finished the last bite. Our cocktails, Mojito and Old Fashioned, were perfectly balanced - not too boozey, nor too weak. The wife’s fillet was coked to perfection and the presentation...read full review

I’ve been 4 times since they opened and every single time has been amazing. Food, drinks, wait staff, view, entertainment. The steamed crabs were AMAZING! Highly recommend!
