This was my first time visiting, even though I’ve lived in Frederick for several years — I truly wish I had come sooner! I ordered the stuffed shrimp with shoestring fries and coleslaw, along with an additional order of their “Crab No Cake” lump meat. I paired it with tartar sauce and added a side of melted butter with Old Bay — absolutely delicious! I was personally served by the owner, Mr. Rich, who was just as awesome as his name suggests. His hospitality and attention to detail made the experience even better. Highly recommend! Diane Anderson, MSN-ED, RN

Finally stopped driving by and stopped in. First thing walking in we noticed, how incredibly friendly the staff is. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the conversations with the team working today. Wicked muscles were up first … when reading the description we were curious how it worked. But oh did it work. Incredible flavor. Order extra bread for the broth. Amazing. We had the crab cake sandwich and fish and chips. Let’s talk about the fries. Crisp, light and flavorful while not leaving a greasy after taste. The crab better than average. The fish was perfect. Batter was not greasy an

Excellent seafood! The oysters in December were plump, not briny, slightly sweet and very easy to eat. The calamari tasted fresh and plumb, and the frying didn't feel greasy. The mains are large and either you have a big appetite or you'll box some. The jambalaya is reliable and fine. The crusted flounder was pleasant too, with the veggies cutting some of the sweetness that came from the crusted fish. Not much personnel for the service but it was efficient.

My family and I were about to make the 1.5 hr drive back from the Guinness Storehouse in north Baltimore and wanted to experience some Maryland seafood. As I looked at our route home, I came across this restaurant on Google Maps and the reviews looked positive. We decided to give it a try for dinner! WOW are we glad we did! My dad ordered the clam chowder and seafood jambalaya- he was in heaven!! My mom and I shared the coconut and pecan(?) crusted flounder as well as a crab cake. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. We still talk about the meal weeks later. Autumn was our waitress and was
