    Blackout cake
    Kelvin L.

    Abbott's on Broad Creek (Laurel) has a great selection of seafood dishes and has a great patio. Was in Delaware for business and found this business a year ago and enjoyed it. This year, I was back in the area for work again and this place did not disappoint. It was just as good as the year before and I had a chance to visit a few more times. Tried the following over a few visits: - fish and chips, excellent crust and large pieces of fresh fish, the slaw was a great side and the Old Bay fries hit the spot - blackout cake, very very rich, needed to takeaway to finish - mussels, the bivalves here has some natural pearls... beware when having the mussels, it isn't sand that's making that crunch, its tiny pearls; although the flavor was great, having the eat around the pearls made it quite the experience, to each their own, I did see in the news that a patron in a restaurant in the area found a rare pearl in their meal worth $$ - scallops risotto, this was my favorite and will be ordering again when I'm back in a few months The Happy Hour deals are pretty good and check out their weekly events for live music, trivia, and other regular events. All regular drinks are on the house. The staff was great and attentive. The patio, bar, and regular dining area had good coverage and had great lighting. The Broad Creek is steps away and is refreshing. There are some birds that keep to themselves and it makes the dining experience quite enjoyable.

    Beautiful riverside setting is the icing on the cake at this wonderful restaurant. We only visit a couple of times a year since we live so far away, but we are consistently impressed by the food. A highlight is the apple-jalapeño slaw, my favorite. All the seafood is fresh and beautifully cooked, and the sides are delicious. Kim, our server, was great, relaxed and efficient. You never feel rushed.

    Pan "Seared" Scallop NOT!

    Came on a Friday Night for our anniversary dinner. Ordered pan seared scallops ($32) and Softshell Crab entree. Not a bit of sear on the scallop. Clearly boiled in a too cool fry pan. Softshell entree was 1 crab over corn for $24. Medium crab cost is $5, corn $1. Charging $24 is robbery. BTW you need to clean the gills out of the Softshell before preparing. Not what we expected. Won't be back.

    Cajun Meatloaf, gravy, string beans and garlic mashed potatoes

    If you haven't been to Abbott's On Broad Creek, in Laurel, you are missing a great spot. Carol and I were there for our first meal yesterday afternoon, and we were glad we went! A great spot on Broad Creek, with views from the dining room and the expansive deck. We found it inviting, comfortable and friendly, and the food was very good. I had garlic mussels, which were wonderful, followed by the crabcake sandwich, which was substantial. It came with cole slaw that was spicy and crunchy, which I loved. Carol ordered the meatloaf, with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans; unfortunately, the meatloaf was a little too spicy for her, but our server, Angel, brought her a grilled chicken breast, which she liked (and I got to take the meatloaf home for me! Our server, Angel, was awesome, and we would go back, just to have her again! After our main course, I joked that we were eager to see the dessert menu, but would probably not have anything...until Angel told us that they make all their desserts from scratch, including the BROWNIE SUNDAE!!! It came (yes, we ordered it) with a warm, soft brownie, beneath vanilla bean ice cream and a wonderful chocolate sauce. We shared it and finished the whole thing!!! If you go, ask for Angel, but be aware that they are closed on Monday. You can choose the dining room (with creek view), the bar area or the deck, which looks out on the creek. They even have live music with a range of music styles. We'll be going back soon...so many dishes, so little time!!!

    The Holy Cow with slaw

    We stopped by Abbottd after going to Trap Pond State Park on our way back from Rehoboth Beach. We were having a late lunch so it was almost 3 o'clock by the time we got there the restaurant is really nice. Sit down please with good service. They also have a banquet hall in the back. seems to be the upscale restaurant in the area. we ordered a bunch of stuff. I had the holy cow which was shaved beef or meat with cheese on a bun. My daughter got the Italian press, which was going to beef sandwich with pesto sauce on it really nice like a Panini. My husband got the lobster special with sweetbreads while it was delicious. It was a really small plate of food. Just a single piece of lobster with sautéed mushrooms and sweet meats. It was definitely not enough food for an adult and my husband is one who does not eat much. For the price it was a small amount of food. My friends got the loaded nacho, which was delicious. We also ordered the watermelon Greek salad. The shrimp and grits was delicious according to my friend. For dessert we had the brownie sundae. I was a nice warm gooey brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The strawberry sorbet , according to my kids, was too natural tasting . I think they wanted something more sweet and less fruity in nature. Overall, a really nice little find in the town of Laurel. Our waitress was really nice young lady who checked in on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed.

    Grossly understaffed causing excessive wait times for service. Drinks, meal ordering and tab rendering painfully slow if available at all.

    The service was great. The Oysters Asiago were great. The best I've had in a long time. Hope they continue to offer them.

    A charming French restaurant in Seaford, Delaware! A cute hole in the wall, probably the best…read moreeatery in town. Very accommodating place when we dropped in without a reservation! We were celebrating a birthday, and luckily we were one of the first people inside at 5 pm on a Friday. They told us we had only a couple hours, however, before we got booted so to speak, lol. But we didn't feel rushed! The local staff were great. We ate at a normal pace. We ordered the following: veal piccata, grilled NY steak, and specials--Rockfish, swordfish with shrimp sauce. The appetizers we tried were the French onion soup, cream of broccoli, and mushroom cap. The other specials that night were a Brie appetizer and a Maryland soft-shell crab entrée I believe. We also tried some special drinks--pear martini, dark berry mocktail. Overall, I liked the veal and the mushroom cap the most! Those were delectable, even though they had a pretty nice variety of seafood. All the plates came with a broccoli fluffy egg sous vide type of side (see pics, light green & circular). There's a smaller, more intimate area that could fit maybe 8 or 10 folks max for a party. There was some issue with the women's bathroom, but it was fine when I used it. Other than that, it was an overall pleasant experience. I think because of the time frame, we couldn't eat dessert so that sweet treats menu wasn't offered to us unfortunately.

    The food was very good. The prices, however high, we expected it. But service was slow. We even got…read morea hand-written bill that wasn't itemized and they never added the cappuccino on it. And the reason for the hand-written bill was never explained. So, was it computer, was laziness, or something else we'll never know.
