Great local spot. We've ordered crabs from them many times and they've always been on point. Good service. Down home vibe. Locally, this is exactly the kind of chill seafood spot I'll visit time and time again. Cap'n Pat's rules! read more

Service was great despite a crowd. Server was lovely. Food was delicious. Nice outdoor seating. Would recommend!

Went for lunch before the closed for the season. First time eating here and what we had was pretty decent for the price! Did expect more from the crab dip & cream of crab soup, the soup tasted like it was made with fat free milk and need more crab and the dip need more crab and properly cooked baguette. But our main items were crispy & flavorful. Would definitely go back but only for main dishes. Oh their seafood pasta side dish is a 10!!! Probably my favorite thing of the meal read more

Captain Pat's Seafood Restaurant in Drayden gets a five-plus rating from us! We recently dined there and sat in their outdoor seating on the water. The broiled crab sandwich is out of this world! It's the most outstanding crab I've tasted in my entire life! We ordered the crab soup which also was wonderful. The service is very good. Captain Pat's is right on the water and beautiful views are everywhere. It's located in the woods right on the water and they offer indoor seating or outdoor. You also can sit at one of their two bars. I imagine it would be a great place to go for drinks and entertainment in the evenings. They also have plenty of picnic tables under many trees on the water. In addition, they have gorgeous campgrounds and plenty of boats dock there. It's simply a beautiful place with lots of prooerty read more

Beautiful scenery and the food was good. Wait was long because they were extremely busy.

Friendly and quick service. Crab legs were OK. Underwhelming for MD seafood, but decent. Inside seating is a bit small & cramped. Overall an OK experience, but wasn't blown out of the water by any means. read more

Update to Ashley's response. There were 20-30 people in the dining room and there are always two sides to every story but Ashley was the only one being loud and rude and clearly being biased, calling the cops was completely uncalled for and unwarranted. She's the liar and clearly acting defensive. There was no reason whatsoever to kick the woman out, and to call the police was absolutely absurd! Witnessed manager Ashley be incredibly rude and racist to a customer today. Avoid this place. It was very uncomfortable and she called the police on a woman for no apparent reason other than the color of her skin. read more

Capt Pat's Seafood - A response. - Seafood Near Me - Drayden, Maryland

Food & service is outstanding. Steamed crabs & shrimp are great. My only problem is that, to me, the prices are pretty expensive. I'm from New Port Richey on the west coast of central Florida. This may be influencing my opinion. We lived in this area for 9 years but have been gone for 13 years. As an example, to pay TEN DOLLARS for 12 hushpupies is excessive, in my opinion. read more

My girlfriend ordered a half dozen large crabs, and the meat was very dried out inside. Clearly they had been heated up from having been steamed the day before. I also had a crabcake which didn't have much flavor at all and virtually no backfin meat. Quite disappointed as we have enjoyed this place in the past. Captain Pat needs to step it up. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. DO NOT RECOMMEND.Tried this place on a recommendation. This place sucked on all accounts. Was never able to be seated so ate at the bar with a bar tender who was absent 90% of the time out back smoking packs of cigarettes and socializing instead of serving people. Could not even order beers. Once we finally got food it was Meh. Boiled Scallops were bland. Crab bites were ok. Spicy Gumbo soup was very good though. Time to pay and was informed "oh by the way the credit card machine has been broke since you got here" but they never bothered to tell anyone that. Had to attempt to pay cash, luckily was able to. Oh and I was way overcharged but at that point didnt't argue it because I just wanted to get the hell out of there by that point. read more

I'm not a seafood person but their jumbo shrimp keeps me coming back for more! Don't get me started on their crab balls, so delicious! I could make a meal out of those myself read more

Thank you to Ashley, our waitress and everyone at Capt Pats who helped celebrate my friend Sarah's 86th Birthday. Ashley kindly bought Sarah's Birthday treat and sang for her with back up from other cooks and servers. The catfish dinner was cooked to perfection! Thank you all again, a perfect Birthday celebration in a welcoming setting! read more

Good tasting food.Fried food is not over cooked.They have good specials,look for them on facebook!

This Rural seafood house serving locals mostly is tucked away in the Piney Point area of Md. Serving a treasure trove of Chesapeake seafood this spot is the place to go to get authentic Md seafoods. Serving Crabs, Oysters, Soft shells, Cream of crab soup and local catches of the day prepared in the traditional manner of yesteryear. No frills, servers are pleasant, helpful and are generally from the local area. In short there is a lot of local Md culture that comes with your meal. For Chesapeake seafood lovers it's a must for your bucket list even though it's a little out of the way. read more

Love this place, we went here several times during our one week visit to Lexington Park. The food, the people, and the waterfront views are all fabulous. read more

Food is always great and priced right. The crabs are always yummy. Service is great. Everything tastes fresh. Highly recommend.

Cannot give this place enough praise. Great local seafood! Probably the best cream of crab soup I've ever had! Amazing fish, both fried and broiled! I love their macaroni salad (which has shrimp and chunks of cheese hidden in it)! So yeah, their food is awesome, but their servers are great as well. They remember who you are and take care of you. Also good outdoor seating overlooking the marina. I will keep coming back regularly. read more

Capt Pat's Seafood - Rockfish and cream of crab soup! - Seafood Near Me - Drayden, Maryland

The crabs and other seafood were delicious (and the ribs!), the servers were super kind and responsive, and the view was gorgeous! Loved it, and highly recommend! read more

Been to Captain Pat's twice once for dinner last year and today we went to lunch there. Food and service have been outstanding. We've been outside both times and enjoy the water view and boats. If you're a rockfish fan this is where you want to go. My wife has had it both times and raved about how fresh and delicious it was. It's also a great place for steamed crabs. Can't wait to go back. read more

The food and service are at an all time low. Bland over fried cheap seafood and $8 domestic draft beer cannot possibly be sustainable business model. The free staff on hand is overworked and the customer suffers. I'm avoiding this place. Someone else could do better. read more

Decent seafood not the most amazing I the world but decent. Crab cakes were good over the country usual but not the best in MD. Fried shrimp as normal not anything special, kind of like what you would get from a chain like Bubba Gumps Shrimp but cheaper. Place was clean, typical laid back southern MD style rustic style. Service was commendable but not amazing. read more

Extremely disappointed this go around service was at its all time worst seems to me that everyone was overwhelmed. The food took a lot longer to come out, my drinks went bone dry for a while. The food I got was fried and it tasted like old geese. The crab dip was excellent. read more

It took a bit to get there, but it was well worth the short drive. I loved the macaroni salad side with shrimp and cheese although my husband who likes more traditional food did not care for it. The crab soup was exceptionally good and the meal was also more than we expected for a very reasonable price. The service was terrific. It was a wonderful surprise to top off a day at Historic St. Mary's City. read more

This is a really cool spot. The out door seating is great, and it has beautiful views. I really enjoyed the friend shrimp and the hush puppies. read more

Overall - 4 stars -- the staff and food 5 stars We had a large party and they accommodated us very nicely. Friendly and courteous staff -- highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. I have been to Dennis Point on many occasions -- when the weather is less "muggy" - an evening on the deck / veranda will be nice. My family and friends had a good time and everyone raved about the food. read more

I went this place even though I can't have shell fish and I was not disappointed they have an incredible selection for people like me and I definitely recommend the Philly cheesesteak it was the best cheesesteak I've ever had and the service was incredible definitely the best restaurant in Maryland read more

What a hidden gem! The shrimp and crab cakes were the best I have ever tasted. No fillers in the crab cakes just pure delicious crab meat. Everyone was friendly just like others posts have mentioned. Well worth the drive. read more

Wat a great restaurant! We found this place with Google Maps. It's way out of the way and there is no way one would find it on their own. Tucked into a marina on a dead end road several miles from the main road, it's worth making the trip. We decided to make an overnight trip to St. Mary's County. We arrived a little after noon and had decided to eat here. It overlooks the water and has a deck (but it was cold and rainy). But even inside it was nice to be able to look over the water. Food is excellent and reasonably priced. The cream of crab and vegetable crab soups are delicious. They have several lunch specials for $15 - well worth the price. But even their regular entrees aren't that expensive. Our waitress was super friendly and kept my coffee cup filled (that in itself is a challenge - I'm a big coffee drinker). Service was excellent with food coming out quickly and hot. We were so impressed we returned the next day before we headed back home. It has already become our goto place in the area. read more

Great catfish dinner. Loved it. The service was great! Will go back again. Location is back in the woods but worth the drive.

We went here for the first time today by boat and was not disappointed. I had the crab cake basket, and my husband had the cod, grilled. Both were great and recommended by the server (Mary-she's awesome and fast). Love their seafood seasoning too. The prices weren't bad. We will definitely be going back. read more

Great spot, delicious food, very friendly and excellent service. Had the catfish basket and couldn't have been happier. Everything was perfect and delicious read more

Friendly staff, quick service, tasty steamed shrimp and fried soft shell crab. Reasonably priced for generous portions. We were staying over near Ridge MD, the 30min drive to get to Pat's at Denis point was well worth it. read more
