Creole Rigatoni
Ariell W.

Went to Blackwall Hitch for Mother's Day weekend and the service was amazing! Our waiter gave plant of recommendations and we tried 50% of them. Food was amazing !

Delicious cupcake.

From the time we walked in we were treated like special guests. Outstanding service. The atmosphere is very family oriented, treated my family as if it was their own happy family. The buffet was off the hook the choices for brunch were top notch top notch. Did I said I was great food. Thank you all for making my family feel special. The manager was on top of all of this. Great job Ricky (Eddie).

Came here for a graduation dinner with a group of 20 on Saturday around 2pm. We had a private room with preset menu options. The atmosphere is a balance of relaxed yet upscale. The decor was warm and inviting. This restaurant is perfect for Whether for a casual meal or a special night out, the ambiance fits perfectly for both. The menu offers a good variety of different food options for everyone even for kids. The service was also really good, the wait staff were very pleasant, attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. I had the Maryland crab soup for my first course which was my least favorite. I expected it to be more crab based and flavor but tomato broth dominated the soup instead. Entree, I had the creole rigatoni which was delicious 9/10. The sauce was great and everything was perfectly seasoned. The portion size was good and the meal filing, Dessert, I had the cheesecake which was very mid. Could have done without it. Drink, I had the lavender French 75, which was delicious and I highly recommend. Parking: there is a free parking lot located behind the restaurant.

Bar area lined up with desserts, pastries, and fruit

I recently visited Blackwall Hitch for brunch with a friend on her birthday. We went on a Sunday morning when the restaurant first opened at 10:00 am. We were one of the first ones to arrive. What we didn't realize is that you needed a reservation for Sunday brunch. Luckily, they were able to accommodate us with a table in the bar area which also happened to be where all the food was set up. Score! I guess for some, that may not be the most ideal seating because there could potentially be a lot of commotion in the area when people are getting their food. We were perfectly fine. Once we were seated, a server came by to ask if we wanted any other drinks besides water and then we were free to go grab food. The brunch at Blackwall Hitch is set up buffet style. They have a great spread, including an omelet station and carving station. Waffles were also freshly made. They had all the breakfast goods, including grits, bacon, french toast, and breakfast potatoes. They also had a fish of the day and a cold seafood display. There was a chocolate fountain and a nice dessert display as well. Sadly, I was too full for any dessert or pastries as I went for all the food. A diner at a table next to us raved about their blueberry muffins. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Blackwall Hitch. This is actually a place that was on my "to try" list when I was living in Maryland. I'm glad I finally got the chance to check it out.

Caprese Artisan Pizza
Michelle K.

I met up with a girlfriend in Annapolis and decided to try Blackwall Hitch, especially since I had a free appetizer coupon from their sister restaurant from my birthday back in May. It was the perfect excuse to check out a new spot! The location is great; it's close to downtown, the pier, and other attractions. They offer free parking, which is a nice bonus. We arrived after brunch ended at 3 PM. Our server was friendly and recommended the Flaming Crab Dip, and since I love anything with crab, I decided to try it. When she brought it out, she poured a liquid over the dip and tried to light it, but unfortunately, it didn't ignite. When I asked, she mentioned it was garlic butter. From the name (and later photos online), it's clear it was supposed to actually flame. Presentation-wise, it looked okay, but not as impressive as advertised. The dip itself was just average. We shared a Caprese pizza, which sadly wasn't hot. We were seated near the kitchen and noticed it sitting under the warmer for a bit before being served. It had good flavor, but would've been much better hot. Overall, the service was pleasant, and the setting was decent, but the food didn't quite meet expectations this time. I'd give it another try for brunch or dinner, hoping for a bit more consistency next visit.

Seafood buffet
Rachel H.

Had Sunday brunch with a group of friends and couldn't have asked for a better experience! We were given a private room with a large table--perfect for my toddler to move around without disturbing other guests. Our drinks came out quickly, and the food was absolutely delicious. The buffet had a great mix of breakfast and lunch options: salads, waffles, grits, omelets, a carving station with prime rib, French toast, fresh shrimp and oysters, and more. Our server (shoutout to Andrew--you were amazing!) even put the football game on the TV in our room. This was the best brunch experience I've had in a long time. Highly recommend it, especially for groups!

Rockfish with stuffed crabmeat
Rebecca K.

We went back to Blackwall Hitch in Annapolis last night to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. We had our rehearsal dinner there last year so it was really special to come back. Our waitress Porsche' was wonderful, friendly and attentive the whole night. We shared the flaming crab dip to start, then I had the rockfish stuffed with crabmeat and my husband had the crab cakes. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. It made for a great anniversary dinner and we will definitely keep coming back for all occasions or "just because" date nights when we are in the area.

Pan seared diver scallop appetizer
Brittany D.

Was able to get a table right away on a Friday night.. It seemed pretty busy, but the manager was super nice and squeezed us in. We were sat in the bar area where they had live music playing. That was really nice. We ordered an Arnold Palmer that was really yummy. The vibe was super cool. It took a bit of time to be waited on, but we weren't in a rush so it wasn't a big deal. My son ordered the burger and fries and we ordered seafood. The scallop and shrimp risotto was amazing. We also ordered the lobster shrimp bisque, which was really great . Overall, it was a really great experience and we would return. I think the prices are fair for the food that you get.

Salad
Autumn B.

This place was pretty good. It's not directly in downtown Annapolis, which makes it great for not being stuck in traffic. They do have ample parking and it's on the corner of a street. The best part about this location is the venue both downstairs and upstairs. We decided to do rooftop dining. The rooftop is a little tight and you do have to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the rooftop, but it's quaint and in the summertime shaded and in the fall, still protected from the elements. The wait staff was a little bit slower than if you ate downstairs. However, they were very accommodating and apologetic when we needed to wait for our drinks to come. We ordered a Caesar salad, which was great dressing wasn't too heavy. And we ordered calamari and wings. The espresso martini was pretty good. It's more on the dark side than the creamy side. And the prices were great for being a place that serves both bar food but also entrées that fill you up. If you are looking for a great place to hang out with nice company where everybody is friendly this local Restaurant is a great place to get your feet wet in downtown Annapolis.

Ask the Community - Blackwall Hitch

Is parking close?

Yes! We actually have our own private parking lot, which is extremely rare in Annapolis.

What is offered on Sat? Brunch or regular menu?

Regular menu!

How about space for a family gathering for the holidays?

The parking was easy for my party and I when we went. It is a spacious restaurant. I personally wouldn't have a party over 10.

Is the Sunday brunch a buffet or do you order off the menu?

Hi Leslie - it is a brunch buffet.

Do they have a kids menu? I can't seem to locate one online

Blackwall has standard kids items like a small pizza, chicken tenders, cheese burger, pasta, and quesadilla.

For a table for 3, it would have been about a 25 minute wait but there was plenty of seating at the bar open so we opted for that. I don't believe they take reservations. Bartender was great and service was fast. Ordered a couple of beers and for food, we opted for the Honey Old Bay Wings, the Crab Cake Grilled Cheese and the Slammin' Salmon. Everything came out fairly quickly. The wings were amazing! Very tender and hot and the Honey Old Bay Ratio was perfect.

On a good weather day you can eat inside or out as they put tables outside for more customers. They have a small sports bar if you want to watch the game but most of the seating is for lower tables. There are not a ton of tables so on busy days we recommend coming earlier than you think. Service is always on point. We have been served by repeat waiters/waitresses as well as the owner of the place many times over our visits. And if you need something you can always call over a nearby waiter. The food is also good. We recommend upgrading to the onion rings which may be the best we've ever had. We also love the dry rub wings which always come out hot and fresh. The slammin salmon and the aloha chicken are our absolute go tos and they are always delicious. You can even ask for them on Brioche or as a wrap. All in all we love this place and continue to make it a staple when we are close by and even when we aren't!

At Preserve, consistency is not the point, evolution is. Each visit feels slightly different,…read moreshaped by a menu that shifts with the seasons and refuses to coast on familiarity. That restlessness works in its favor. The space is compact, almost disarming at first. Then it settles around you. There is a quiet intimacy to the room, the kind that feels less designed and more lived in. It leans closer to a welcoming home than a polished dining room, without losing its sense of purpose. The food carries that same balance. Thoughtful, seasonal, and just unpredictable enough to keep you paying attention. Cocktails follow suit, measured and deliberate, never an afterthought. For Annapolis, where good options are not exactly rare, this place still manages to separate itself. It belongs firmly in the top tier of the city's dining scene, and it earns that position every time it changes the menu and starts over again.
