Boats & Hose at Chapel Cove

Boats and Hose is a local favorite, with a uniquely Eastern Shore look, feel and taste! When you hit Cambridge turn West, drive until there is nowhere else to drive and you’ll find the incredible small town of Taylor Island. You’ll find lots of history and old fashion ways of living down these parts. The restaurant has small parking, but it’s on a 2-lane rd, with little traffic so not much to worry about. Our server was knowledgeable about the history of the shop and was happy to share the history. Rider brought a basket of complimentary corn bread, She was attentive and lots of fun. I had a burger that was great. You could really taste the char! The fries were cold and unseasoned, but they had salt on the table. If I was in the area again I would stop by for a meal.

Ya’ll, 1 word: mmmmmmmmm 😋 If you have not been to Taylor’s Island to visit Boats & Hose, I suggest you run don’t walk. If nothing else get the crab soup it is amazing! 🦀 I feel like I’m telling on my favorite place and everyone will know-but it’s worth the ride! Sadly they were out of snakehead bites(don’t knock it because of the name-open your mind-it’s truly is a delicious fish that my opinion is better than Rockfish!) The soft shell nuggets are just perfect! Minimally dressed/battered so you can taste all that Maryland crab goodness! Fresh fish, served hot. Sides include baked pineapple, stewed tomatoes just a good option of standards and choices as the prices are very reasonable. nestled against the marina the views are epic.

Food is always amazing!! Great food and staff!

Probably thee ONLY restaurant I have ever given 5 stars to in every category. I always feel like there is some room for improvement. NOT HERE. Food was epic, service was outstanding, atmosphere was right up my alley and even the merchandise that is for sale was awesome and priced to move. My three favorites are definitely the corn bread, cream of crab and soft crab nuggets!!! Tracy was our waitress & she has mastered her craft!

Their food is great. I got the vegetable crab soup and it was fantastic. Best clam strips! Blue catfish with beautifully done and tasted great. Catfish can be iffy. For being from the south are stewed tomatoes are not at all sweet and these are almost like a dessert because of how much sugar is in them. That was the biggest complaint I heard at our table. So frequently when we come something isn't available for the beer is warm. This is a very busy restaurant and I can see them running out of things. Because the location is remote it's not like you can just run out and grab some more for the rest of the night's service.Some parties wanted to order beer and was told the beer was warm right now. I understand the limited space in the cooler but it would be nice if they would have cold beer in
