★★★☆☆ 3.0 Deidre Locklear · Jul 2023

This spot has charm. It was very warm inside of the establishment, almost uncomfortably so, but the hardworking wait staff (I believe it was only one person) was rocking it. She was kind, attentive and checked in often. The crabs were good and it was awesome to see they now have alcohol in their establishment (the bar was poppin’ off with locals.) definitely suggest they work on their indoor cooling situation with this crazy hot weather but otherwise a solid Southern Maryland charming dive. Highlights we’re the Maryland crab soup & the pickle fries were a hit!

Old school vibe, older building, great food and service! Stopped by recently and enjoyed an outstanding scallops plate! Ordered some BLT, Wing Dings, and cheese sticks for takeout and others here enjoyed them. Great local restaurant that I look forward to returning to!

Nice, home town restaurant super Crab Cakes as well as other local cuisine. Great views of the Patuxent River.

★★★★★ 5.0 Woodie Greenwood · Sep 2024

Food was good, view was nice, waitress was sweet. Atmosphere was a little dated for my liking. Went for blue crab but they were out. Their crab legs and shrimp were cooked well and well seasoned. Waitress was sweet but a little busy so found ourselves waiting for a few things. Definitely a good establishment.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Scott Cameron · Sep 2025

The menu is pretty limited great views of the water and the inside smelled like old grease. This place has great potential.
