    Have been getting our crabs from Earls for 4 years. They always have the best and the service is friendly. I highly recommended them!

We ordered 9pcs of large crabs for $63, you can order individually instead of a dozen, everything was delicious. The cream of crab is a must try when you're here and the shrimp salad sandwich is a solid choice. Overall interior of this place is very clean and by the bay, we got to see the sunset. The waiter was friendly and checked up on us from time to time.

I've been to other places and loved them but this was a first time here. We parked and all you can smell is seafood and fish. Parking was decently easy. We walked in and asked to sit outside and was sent upstairs. Thought it a bit weird, but it was all good. We had nothing else going on on a Monday, and just wanted crabs. So we made our way upstairs and had to walk around a few corners to get to the bar before we self seated and found a table under these stairs. But the view! It was pretty, with the small lake or pond we were staring into. The whimsy breeze felt great against my skin and thankful there was an umbrella which shielded us from the hot sun. The tables were covered with craft paper. There were one server working the section. We ordered a Bloody Mary and a Paloma - who doesn't love a good cocktail on a hot day outside next to water? The menu is a decent size. We wanted the extra large crabs but they only had six left so we did half extra large and half large. We also ordered Mac and Cheese which turned out to be Kraft Mac and Cheese, Hush Puppies and also an order of Cole slaw. I was tired after trying to crack three crabs, but the flavors were great. I wish it had more of the orange eggs stuff but I guess we couldn't choose which type of crab they were and I had no orange eggs in the crab. But the flavors were good. I enjoyed the experience. It was pretty chill and just nice to be outside cracking teeth and sipping drinks.

    Super thankful for Stevensville Crab Shack for coming in clutch with 2 bushels of crabs…read more My job books a nearby hotel/restaurant for a 3 day retreat. At this particular place they quoted us 1,000 dollars for ONE bushel of crabs! That wasn't sliding with us and as a nonprofit every penny spent needs to have a purpose. We found Stevenville via Google search, they gave us an amazing price and even threw in 2 free butters during pick up. I just want to call out how friendly everyone was, from the staff to the amazing two little girls that were there. I can tell the owners don't just care about what they're selling but they truly care about every aspect of their business. We drove one hour to pick up the crabs and when we arrived back the crabs were still hot and our group of 28 people said they were the best crabs they've had. I'm looking forward to coming back to try the other foods they other, the cold salads looked so good. Thank you, Stevensville!! Keep killing it!

I got the crab cake- too much bay seasoning for my taste but I understand this is natural in this area. My crab cake had a lot of lump crabmeat and that's good on a potato roll with 1 slice of tomato , one small piece lettuce and just enough mayo for the center of the roll- for $17.99 I expect more generous add ONS here. Not my style! Oh and bathroom is an outhouse- nope, not for me!

    BLUF: Feels a bit off the beaten path and has great views and good food at reasonable prices…read more Dock House Restaurant is great! I've visited twice recently and I really enjoyed the scenic views and extensive menu. Both times I have sat outside which was in the shade and comfortable, even on the hottest days of the season. Watching the boat traffic come in go - everything from kayakers to yachters makes for an entertaining meal. Speaking of meals, I've now tried a handful or so items on the menu. Favorites so far are the Flounder Sandwich and potato skins topped with crab dip. The burger was good too. The halibut tacos and crab bruschetta are a pass for me. Service has been great at the Dock House. The servers have to walk fairly far from the kitchen to the dockside tables and they maintain great service. Kudos to them. Speaking of dock, there is space to dock boats parallel to the bulkhead. Several small to mid-size boats were there both times I visited. I looked to see if there was a sign about the depth or rules for docking there and I didn't see anything. What I have observed is there isn't a dock hand and it's not protected so it can get a little bit of chop. A few boaters were just hanging out on their boat listening to the live music so they didn't seem to mind getting jostled when larger traffic comes through the channel. For those with land yachts or a car, there is plenty of parking and it's easy to get here right off of US-50, assuming there isn't "beach traffic." Dock House is located on the back side of the Boatel that is visible from US-50. Dock House is absolutely one of my new favorite restaurants in the Annapolis area. I am looking forward to many return trips to Kent Island to continue working my way through the menu.

We remembered watching YouTube videos of the best crab cakes in MD and The Narrows Restaurant was mentioned, so we decided to stop in for a very late lunch / very early dinner. Although we didn't have reservations, they sat us at one of the only tables for 2. It was located right on the water. Obviously, we both ordered the crab cake entree (from the lunch menu) which came with 1 side. I got the mashed potatoes and my wife got the coleslaw. Side note - crab cakes here are 5 ounces. For dessert, we ordered the hot fudge sundae that included Captain Crunch cereal pieces. "Linner" was good overall. For us, sitting out in the sun was definitely not ideal, but again we didn't have reservations and there are no tables for 2 inside the restaurant. Getting in and out of the parking area was really challenging as traffic was heavy.

    Alexa play "So Easy (To Fall in Love)" by Olivia Dean…read more It's so easy to fall in love with anything that's beautiful, peaceful, and just plain good and that's exactly what Kent Narrows is. There's something about the water, the breeze, and the quiet charm of this area that settles your spirit in the best way. A good friend of mine lives on Kent Island, and honestly, the best way to visit Bridges is by boat. Pulling up to a restaurant by water just hits differently. But don't worry you can absolutely drive here too, and the experience is just as lovely. Restaurants by the water are always a plus, but Bridges brings more than a view. It brings that easy, coastal energy that makes you want to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and enjoy where you are. The kind of place where good food, good company, and good scenery all meet at the same table. Bridges Restaurant brings exactly what you hope for when you escape the city for a moment of calm; beauty, peace, and a reminder that life feels better by the water. Service is always great! I literally said this past weekend that this has to become a monthly occurrence! It's too good and too beautiful to just come once a year! Let's get into it! Stuffed Pepper - Amazing!! Thanks to the waitress for hyping these up. Seafood Tacos - Delicious! I would definitely get these again and would try the Mahi Mahi kind or whatever fish they have! So freaking good! Brought Hawaii Maui vibes back. Ancho Rockfish - Fish was excellent, grits were not a fave. Watermelon refresher - YES! These are dangerously good! I'll be back! And soon! Cheers! Perfect day activity for all you love birds! Romantic!

The hostess and waitress were so kind, friendly, and accommodating! They brought out a water bowl for our dog. We ordered the whole oysters flash fried (special of the day), the shrimp and grits, and the shrimp salad sandwich with island fries (upgraded for 3.50). The oysters were fantastic. Freshly fried and super juicy. We loved them. Our sandwich and shrimp&grits took a while to get to us, but worth the wait. The shrimp in the grits were massive. My husband couldn't finish it all. The shrimp salad was stellar. And the brioche bun went so well. I will say the island fries had a spice we didn't love. The queso dip it came with was good. Didn't love the chili aioli it came with. It was weirdly sweet. I'd probably stick to the regular fries next time. Service is a little slower than were use to, but it definitely fit the vibe of the area. Just low key and relaxing. We would definitely come back!

In fact, the dining areas for the restaurant were a lot larger than what I expected. The restaurant has a pretty extensive menu, so everyone should be able to find something that they'll like. Relative to other places, I thought the prices were fine - not super cheap, but not expensive. The restaurant also has a nice list of various frozen and regular cocktails. Overall, service was great in that our waitress made some great recommendations and check in on us a few times during our meal. The waitress did not go wrong in recommending the shrimp tacos. I was hoping for three tacos instead of two, but the portion size of the tacos were packed so I guess two tacos are fine. Overall, we a nice time at The Jetty and hope do visit again after Matapeake Park. Oh, I almost forgot to add that the The Jetty is very dog-friendly.

    Love that dogs are allowed…read more Service was okay. We got seated and had to wait a while for someone to come check in on us/take an order. We got half a dozen x large crabs. The crabs here are size designated by the size of the shell. Not by weight. The weight different DRASTICALLY. I'd read other reviews that said the jetty does not give af if you let them know the crabs are light/basically empty. And service was spotty so no one came to check anyway But dang one of my crabs barely had more meat on the inside than the claws of the other crabs. Sigh. I also felt like the seasoning was not as heavily old bay as I'd prefer. But great waterside dining? Easy parking. Would not return unless we had the dog with us. The dog enjoyed her hamburger patty.
