Before we went tonight I googled it to try and find a menu. What I got back was some pretty bad reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor, so I had a bit of an attitude when I first got there.

Greeted warmly at the door by a very nice young lady who directed me to IS and FF, who were already there. Our waiter Dean was at my side in less than a minute to take my drink order. He wasn't put out at all that the whole party would be straggling in over the course of an hour - "No problem, let me know when you're ready to order!"

We ordered wings to start and they were lightly breaded and fried, then drenched in a Texas Pete style hot sauce. Very tasty! Next came an out of this world cream of crab soup - tasted of sweet cream and had chunks of jumbo lump, no celery or green pepper to ruin it. I also got fried clams and could only eat a few of them because I was stuffed by that point, but they were very good.

Next we went to the bar, where Monique made me one of the best margaritas I've ever had. AND I got to sit in IS's special bar stool, which is quite possibly the best seat in southern Maryland. It reminded me of being in the Keys, sitting in a bar looking out over the water and watching the sun set.

It's not a fancy restaurant with 10 million entrees - it's a crab shack with brown paper table cloths. But the food and service were very good, and I'd absolutely go back.

:yay:

Oh, and one of the Yelp reviews said that the bathrooms were filthy - that's not true. Everything was very clean.

Edit: I want to put Solomons Island in this post because Google will pick it up and searchers will find this review instead of/in addition to the crappy ones from Yelp and TA.

I only had one disappointment there (bad oysters) and they took it off my check. Great service and on all other occasions great food.

We did a family pizza night. Papa John's has their customer appreciation weekend, so I got off cheap and the boys were happy.

You don't think I'd take my favorite bored mommy (and friends) to a dive, do ya? And consider yourself "special" because not just anyone can sit in my seat. That view is why I sit there whenever I go there. Glad you liked it!

Having never been before and hearing not so good things about the place- I, too, was impressed. Dean, our server, was awesome and I liked the wings. Loved the view from the table.
The only thing better would have been magic markers or crayons to write on the table cloth. J/K

I agree - very nice place! I tried the wings and they were very good. I ordered the " build your own burger" and fries. It was very good. I also had a margarita & was very happy with it. In the summer it would be awesome sitting outside. :yay:

are you talking about the upstairs or downstairs bathrooms? The bathrooms upstairs in the nightclub get prety bad.

Whoffshhh... you're not kidding.

Just kidding. :lmao:

It was a nice place. I had the crabcake dinner. Two fairly large crab cakes (nary a shell) and green beans. I thought I was ordering the crabcake sammich. The dinner was expensive but tasty enough to not be too shocked.

And the company was awesome as usual.
