That!.I'm going to put Tall Timbers Marina's Sunday brunch on the list. That's some good eatin'.
And we know all of their oysters are fresh for everything they make with those.

You should try boomerangs then .
Lighthouse has NEVER brought the food to the table like they did when the boys were over at Clark's Landing, it's like driving over the bridge sucked all of their cooking skills out of them . Every time I go there, I leave disappointed.
I didn't realize you were an oyster farmer. I bought a couple of bags of spats from Circle C when I was staying in waterfront property. I had big dreams of having lots of pearls.
After two hernia operations and a shoulder replacment, I retired. Guys my age shouldn't be moving 400lb oyster cages....

Well .... there are of course exceptions to every comment. I do expect locally owned restaurants that offer seafood to acquire their crab and oysters from local fish boats. However, even local, non-chain, restaurants, in order to compete, need to source the majority of their main offerings, and ingredients, from places like SYSCO because of their buying power and hence, saving restaurants money. Most, but not all. I was painting with a wide brush.

We had a late lunch/ early dinner today @ Jerry's in PF. No complaints at all. Haddock, crab cake, steamed shrimp, and sides were very good. Oysters on the half shell were definitely fresh and sweet from the Patuxent(the only way to ruin an oyster is to cook it). Even dessert to go, Key lime pie and bread pudding were as good as any in the area. Service was great, and attentive without being intrusive. Junior is doing a good job keeping the place up to their well deserved good reputation.

Always a good meal at Jerry's.
Took my mom and dad there. She said it was the best crabcake she had ever had. I'm glad, because the very next day she went to the ER and never returned home (no, it was not Jerry's food...)
I've always wanted to go there. Problem is that my missus does not eat seafood.... :-(

After all of the comments on here about Pier 450, I decided to give it a try tonight. Left Dameron and headed north and almost got to St. James when I decided on Pier 450. Turned around and drove ALLLL THE WAAAAAY to RIDGE! Turn into the parking lot and it's empty! Did you hear me - the parking lot was EMPTY! Sign on the door sez "We are taking a break and will be back on Tuesday." WTAF!! Didn't we just have a conversation on here about businesses closing early or whenever they please and you should check FB before going?!? Well I don't do FakeBook and I wouldn't check any businesses page before going, unless it's a case of weather or a nuclear disaster or I wasn't sure of business hours. But a popular restaurant that everyone on here is raving about should not be closed on a Saturday evening @ 5pm so I shouldn't have to check their FB page. (We did close the hardware store between 3 and 4 on Monday during the snowstorm. Not sure if I would close for a nuclear disaster - people will need blue tarps to protect themselves from the nuclear fall out)
So we turn around and drive ALLLL THE WAAAAAY TO THE CITY to eat at Pax Ale House, which is on my list of favorites - it is our regular (Regular as in at least once a month). They have the best crab cakes around in my opinion. Homemade on the premises, little to no filler. I have not had a bad meal there ever. And if I may have more than one restaurant as my favorite, I will list Island Hideaway and Charles Street. But we don't get over there as much - that darn bridge is a hindrance - I hate traffic! Hence the reason for Pax Ale House - 3 traffic lights and I'm there.

Your missus sounds like my missus - a red meat and taters person. I really like SGI Ruddy Duck for their "unique menu" - out of the ordinary stuff. But since wifey doesn't care for it and it is such a LOOOOOOOONG WAAAAAAY to get there, we only make it about once a year. But in reality it is about the same time travel as Solomons for us, and the bridge isn't as busy and traffic isn't as bad and only 3 traffic lights.
Don't laff..that's a real thing. I hate to drive beyond L'town. I feel like I should pack a suitcase and extra firearms for the trip...

That what your bug out kit is for...
How do you think I feel when I take a ride to St. George or Ridge? I go past a place like Buzzys and see those guys sitting on the porch giving me the evil eye, can't help but think they're gonna chase me down and toss my body in the swamp.
Like there is a small red dot on yr Slingshot all the time? ha ha..just kidding. No...really...
