    July special: baby back ribs, crab cake, squash, Mac salad, hush puppies
    Andrew P.

    What an unexpected adventure in Southern Maryland! When my friend told me he wanted to have dinner at a seafood restaurant, I was expecting a big dine-in establishment. There is a table for 4, a table for 6, and a few high seats in the restaurant... luckily, it was empty, so my party of 6 claimed that bigger table! Obviously, it's mainly for takeout, but cool anyway! I noticed that they have happy hour everyday until 6 (they just have beer), and that the place smells like your standard enticing seafood restaurant. So we settled and started ordering... drinks first. Lots of local beers were featured, so I decided to start with Mully's Blood Orange, which was really good! Deciding food was a little more difficult... did I want a crab cake platter? Did I want the crab & shrimp quesadilla?? My eyes gravitated to an appetizer item that was labeled as new... Honey Butter Biscuit Breaded Shrimp. That's a lot of syllables, I know. That sounded so different and unusual, I was intrigued. I peeped a July special (which had just a few days left) -- 1/3 baby back ribs, jumbo lump crab cake, 2 sides and 3 hush puppies for $30. Yes please! The appetizers came out first -- after the first bite of that shrimp my eyes widened and I just paused for like 10 seconds. It was SOOOOOO delicious! I let the rest of the table taste and their minds were blown. 11/10. And then when the entrees came out... SO MUCH FOOD!!! As I said with the July special, the two sides I got were the Chesapeake macaroni salad, which actually had old bay and crab meat in it (YUM!) and the vegetable of the day, yellow squash! I enjoyed every single element of the meal -- but I will say that the hush puppies were my least favorite. They were extremely dry on the outside -- even though the inside was fine. The honey made them better, too :). I would drive 50 minutes just to return for that shrimp. By the way, they have food trucks and a trailer that they use for catering... so normally, they're not up around my way. But I'll be watching...

    Really disappointed. I know the economy is bad but this is ridiculously small for $16!! Would have been $19 had we ordered online. We have heard good things about this place and it really did not meet our expectations. Food was okay. Not sure how I feel about returning if it's like this.

    Delicious food, great service, and fair prices. No complaints. Left as happy as a clam. I don't believe it's selfish to eat defensive shellfish.

    Crabby Fries

    Ordered to go and the order was all over the place. Ordered the catch of the day fried fish platter which was good, large serving for the price of it. The Chesapeake pasta salad was not much to write home about. Hush puppies were good though. Ordered the crabby fries for appetizer as well and...well look at the picture. Ten fries, if that, and a decent serving of the crab topping. How is this supposed to be a shareable appetizer when that portion of fries could possible feed one person as a side?

    Always great food! And as always, ENJOY! Love the @Chef John paper wraps! Chili shrimp in wrap! Yum!

    Shrimp, hush puppies, Chesapeake Mac Salad Side, and Mac & Cheese Side
    Megan J.

    Couldn't have been happier with the service and the food! We didn't realize the hours and seemed to have the last order to pick up, but for a friendly greeting. The steamer pots (and our extra pound of shrimp) were well-seasoned and perfectly cooked. We were also really happy with the sides of mac & cheese, hush puppies, and Chesapeake macaroni salad.

    Today, I wanted something different than the humdrum corporate restaurants. I stopped at a restaurant called Calvert Seafood. Having looked at their menu, I placed my order. Once I arrived home to eat my food, I pulled out the wrapped food to eat. I was turned off by seeing a greasy brown bag. I was not impressed. Instead of the onion rings placed in a container (styrofoam), the onion rings were thrown into a brown lunch bag along with 3 hush puppies. The bag was very greasy. This tells me, the cook did not bother to allow the drainage of oil from the onion rings. Seeing the onion rings lying in a greased soaked bag is a huge turn-off for me. I do not like greasy food. Presentation is everything. The po boy sandwich was not what I expected. A po boy should be full of shrimp (or whatever po boy item you select). 6 pieces of shrimp were placed on a hoagie roll which is a lot of bread. Not impressed. I remember this 1970s t.v. commercial: "Where's the beef?" In this case, where's the shrimp?" Overall, it looks like I will have to scout out another seafood take-out for some great food.

    Fries that made me sick !!!
    Robert B.

    Not sure what's going on here but this was the worst 100$ dinner for 3 I ever spent called to complain about the fries and was told the owner has had many complaints and are gonna change there type of fries plus I was short 1 order of them maybe a blessing they sucked ! Not like there pictures. Beware if u use dash door. Service charge and tip are taken out. cost $21.00 to have delivered. Was told to go though door dash about missing fries. Won't have to worry about me going back to get my fries. Very small portions in all 3 platters we ordered and more bread than crab meat in the crab cakes that I had. Sad for a hometown business! My jumbo shrimp measured 1 inch REALLY

    Last week we went to Stoney's and the experience was... frustrating from the start…read more We waited way too long before anyone even acknowledged us. When I finally flagged someone down, she said, "Sometimes it's hard to see over the booths." Mind you--we are not short. Both of our heads were clearly visible the entire time. My friend even went to the bar to get our waitress, who absolutely had full sight of us. Eventually Stacie, comes over and takes our drink and oyster order. It's Thursday, so oysters are $0.90 (used to be $0.70, but okay). The oysters were good--we went through two dozen with no issue. But then it was right back to the same problem. Empty glasses. No check-in. No presence. We had to flag Stacie down again to order our entrée--not because she was busy, but because she was standing at the next table having a full conversation like she couldn't see us sitting there waiting. And here's the part that really needs to be fixed-- If you have items on the menu that are no longer available, that should be communicated up front. Not after someone has spent 15-20 minutes reviewing the menu and deciding what they want. Overall: good oysters, but the service completely took away from the experience. Being overlooked multiple times in one visit is not acceptable.

    This place is fantastic! I've been going here maybe every 2 months, for about 3 years now.

Last night I was going to fix it for dinner when I opened it the ham has a very thick slimy and gooey. It had a nicked sticker on it so I thought they would take it back without a receipt, it was under $7. So I went in and spoke with the manager told him about it first thing he asked for is a receipt, no I don't but it has your pricing sticker you can see I purchased it here. He wouldn't even look at it just wanted a receipt, said he could look it up if I used a charge card. I shop here a few times a week, I hardly ever purchase meat ahead of time to use later except for bacon I get 5lbs at a time and meat like the packaged ham steaks or whole yams that have a longer use by date for planned ahead meals , I stop in pickup what ever meat I'm fixing for dinner that night. This is the second time since this store has opened up that a meat I purchased from here had an issue with it and this was the first time I was asked for a receipt. I've been shopping at a Nicks since I was a kid my grandmother use to take me to the one in Clinton once a week, then when I started working I would stop in Nicks of Clinton to get a sub for lunch. It was really nice when the one opened in St-Charles off of Rt 5 and Mattawoman-Beantown Rd. I started purchasing meat for my own family and then this one opened in Calvert made it even more convenient to shop at. I guess I'll have to learn to take a picture of my receipt from here in case this happens again or I can just continue to be a loyal shopper here and just take the loss and move on. I'm not going to stop shopping here since this is only the 2nd time getting a bad product for as long as I've been a shopping at a Nick's.
