There are coffee shops and restaurants in town (including Ava's & Limoncello). The dining area has a fireplace and water themed decorations. The menu has salads and sandwiches and pub food. Hubby enjoyed the mussels & a burger. The French fries were yummy. The Impossible burgers were good. The home made dressing had apple cider vinegar in it, which made the dish. I asked for extra pickles and finally found a bartender who "gets" me. She brought a large portion. We had an unrushed visit with our friends. Tip: If you want ice for your room ask for two cups to carry with you when you are done. You can also order an ice bucket from guest services.

On my very first night ever in St. Michaels, MD, I had two requirements for dinner…read more 1. I wanted a waterfront view. 2. I wanted shrimp salad. After a little searching, Foxy's Harbor Grille kept popping up as one of the top recommendations. Their website mentioned joining the waitlist online before arriving, and knowing it was the start of Fourth of July weekend, I figured a little planning couldn't hurt. I hopped on the waitlist before leaving my hotel and headed toward the harbor. I arrived a little before 5:00pm on Thursday afternoon in the middle of an absolutely brutal heat wave. Temperatures were over 100 degrees, and apparently everyone else in town had the good sense not to request outdoor seating. When the hostess couldn't find my name on the online waitlist, it didn't really matter because the covered deck overlooking the marina was completely empty. One request for an outside table later, and I was seated immediately with one heck of a view! My server was fantastic from start to finish. She was friendly, attentive and made sure I had everything I needed without ever making me feel rushed. For dinner, I ordered the Shrimp Roll ($21.00) with a side of black bean salad and a Diet Coke ($3.75). It turned out to be exactly the kind of meal I wanted after spending the day in triple-digit temperatures. The shrimp salad was outstanding! Big chunks of shrimp, perfectly dressed and seasoned without being drowning-in-mayo soupy. Just fresh, flavorful and incredibly satisfying. The portion was generous enough that I happily boxed up half to enjoy the next day. The black bean salad deserves its own little shout-out, too. Black beans, corn, peppers, cilantro and what tasted like a light, fresh vinaigrette made it the perfect companion to the chilled shrimp salad on such a hot evening. But...let's be honest. I had already spotted the Sky High Peanut Butter Pie ($12.00) while stalking the menu before dinner arrived. As someone whose personality is approximately 63.8% peanut butter, there was absolutely no chance I was leaving Foxy's without ordering it! A few minutes later, my server returned carrying what can only be described as a monument to peanut butter. This slice stood at least three inches tall, topped with whipped cream and packed with chopped peanut butter cups throughout a rich, dense peanut butter filling. It was glorious! It was excessive! It was everything I hoped it would be! And yes...I ate the whole thing. Even I was a little impressed with myself! The view from the covered deck overlooking the marina made the entire experience even better. Sitting there watching boats come and go while enjoying dinner felt like the perfect introduction to St. Michaels. Foxy's has exactly the kind of laid-back, waterfront atmosphere you hope to find when visiting a Chesapeake Bay town. One thing I also appreciated was how welcoming the restaurant felt for everyone. During my visit I saw solo diners like myself, couples, families with kids and groups of friends all enjoying themselves. Their menu is incredibly diverse, too, so just about everyone should be able to find something they'll enjoy. My total came to just $40.24 before tip for dinner, dessert and a drink, which I found to be very reasonable considering the quality of the food, the waterfront location and the generous portions. If I had one piece of advice, it would be to eat a little earlier if you can, especially during holiday weekends. I have a feeling this place fills up quickly once the evening rolls around. Highly recommend Foxy's Harbor Grille if you're visiting St. Michaels! Great food, great service, beautiful waterfront views and one seriously unforgettable slice of peanut butter pie. I'll absolutely be back!

I'm shocked that I'm the First To Review this place, as it seems like it's been here for a hundred hometown years! There's a ton of charm in this place, and coming here pays you back in shade, suds, and nods from the very friendly bartenders.

The Fool's Lantern was newly open (like pretty brand new!) and we saw the self-serve wine machines which are always fun. The four of us came in and the staff was super welcoming and didn't bat an eye at us just wanting to get some wine and hang out (versus getting food also). Our friends had a couple issues with using their card in the machine so ended up sharing ours. But you can attribute that to opening kinks! We had checked out their food menu and it looked good, so we actually came back a second time that day for lunch. We got a few tapas to share and I got the curry chicken salad sandwich. Overall, everything was really good and the staff was very nice. I hope they are successful in St Michaels!

I wish the lettuce was mixed greens or romaine instead of iceberg but otherwise this was excellent. The Bruschetta comes with arugula instead of basil and is loaded and a generous portion for two.

We wanted to give this place a 1-star review so badly, but we bumped it up to 2 stars because the…read morefood quality itself was somewhat okay. Unfortunately, almost everything else about the experience fell short. Service & Seating: When we first arrived, we asked to sit outside. There was an open table that needed to be bussed, and the host told us it wouldn't be a problem, asking an employee to get it ready. The employee responded with an attitude--asking "what do you want me to do to the table" as if it were a massive inconvenience. I then noticed the host wiping it down, and looking back, that should have been our cue to leave. Once seated, the service was virtually non-existent. After waiting close to 15 minutes, I told my wife it was time to get up and leave--right at that moment, our server finally showed up, took our order, and vanished. The Food & Portion Sizes: My wife ordered the Fettuccine Bolognese, which she noted had a wonderful flavor. I ordered the Limonecello Burrata Ravioli ($21), but it was so mild it was practically flavorless. My biggest issue, however, was the portion size. I have no problem paying $21 a plate, but what came out looked and felt like a tapas dish or a small appetizer. It was a joke as my dish came with the equivalent of about four chopped-up shrimp and three average-sized raviolis. I genuinely thought the server was dropping off an appetizer by mistake. Timing: We had small plates on the table, and I wondered if bread was included. Given the tiny portion size of the entrée, I figured probably not. Ironically, after we had finished eating our meals, our server showed back up with bread and an apology. To top it all off, we waited 15 minutes after finishing for someone to bring us the check, and another 10 minutes just to have it picked up and returned to us to sign. At that point, all the other outdoor tables had finished, and there were only two tables filled inside. Charge a fair price, but please give your customers enough food to eat and train the staff on basic hospitality.

After spending the afternoon wandering through the shops in St. Michaels on my first-ever visit to…read moretown, I found myself craving one thing for dinner. A really good burger. Actually...a really good burger with crab dip on it. Naturally, I started searching for somewhere that could satisfy both cravings at once and landed on Carpenter Street Saloon, a laid-back local watering hole that's been serving up food, drinks and good times in the heart of St. Michaels for decades. Their menu had both burgers and crab dip, but not together. Challenge accepted! I arrived around 4:30pm on a Friday during Fourth of July weekend and somehow managed to snag the very last parking spot in their small lot. Even better, as I walked inside, a booth just inside the front door opened up. The adventure gods were clearly looking out for me! The atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for. Folks were gathered around the bar enjoying drinks, conversations filled the room and absolutely nobody cared that I had wandered in by myself for dinner. Sometimes that's exactly the kind of place you need after a long day of adventuring. I studied the menu for approximately three seconds before asking my waitress what I assumed would be a ridiculous question. "Could I get a burger...with crab dip on it?" Without missing a beat, she smiled and said, "Absolutely! We actually used to have that on the menu, but nobody ordered it." I couldn't stop grinning! "Well," I replied, "I'm somebody...and I want it for dinner tonight!" One more vacation victory! For $16.00, my custom Bay Burger arrived piled high with rich, creamy crab dip and melted cheese dripping over the thick burger patty exactly as I'd imagined it. It was everything I'd hoped it would be! Juicy burger. Creamy crab dip. Gooey cheese. The combination just...worked! In fact...it worked so well that I briefly considered ordering another one before remembering I still had dessert plans later that evening. (Responsible Adult Alexis eventually won that internal debate.) I chose the coleslaw as my side, and while the flavor was really good, it was a little drier than I personally prefer. That's entirely a preference thing, though. If you're someone who likes a less creamy coleslaw, this one will probably be right up your alley. My Diet Pepsi was $4.00, bringing my total to just $21.20 before tip. Honestly, for a custom burger loaded with crab dip in the middle of one of Maryland's busiest holiday weekends, I thought that was an excellent value. Carpenter Street Saloon isn't trying to be fancy. It's comfortable. It's welcoming. It's the kind of neighborhood bar where locals and visitors alike can settle in, enjoy a great meal and relax for a while. If you're visiting St. Michaels and find yourself craving a burger, do yourself a favor...ask them to bring back the crab dip burger. Apparently nobody orders it. Except me. And now hopefully you!

We also joined the "party" haha - I had a watermelon crush and my sister had a blackberry lemonade something or either.
