Finding a restaurant that's actually open in Crisfield is surprisingly difficult. I can't tell you how many restaurants that I went to were closed; like, on a Saturday night, not a Monday or a Tuesday, with no explanation as to why. From Scratch respects its stated hours of operation, and so it's known as a reliable business. Some of the locals told me that the restaurant industry here has suffered due to the pandemic. It's the residents of Crisfield who directed me to go to From Scratch knowing that I could get some tasty vittles. The meat omelet is hot, satisfying and yummy. The thick-cut bacon is properly prepared. I love that I can get pumpernickel toast here, not always the case when eating out. This is good value for the money.

It's a long drive into the middle of nowhere to a very charming beachfront town but it was a dreary and rainy day. We easily parked in the large gravel lot and walked inside and were immediately sat at a table by the water with a lovely view. Our waitress was prompt and super friendly. We chose to get the crab hush puppies and were thrilled to see they were made fresh and hot to order and tasted phenomenal. We devoured them quickly. We decided to split the fish taco meal since it was lunch for us and it came with two large-sized tacos and cole slaw. It was a nice portion for an entree and was easily enough for both of us for a lighter lunch. Really delicious sweet tea so I took some to go. Small gift shop attached and tons of seating inside and expansive views of the water with a back wall of windows all around.

Our server , Eric, was super friendly and helpful with the menu. Food came out really fast. Stuffed mushrooms were the bomb. Not only was the ribs delicious but the meat fell off the bone.

The fried chicken portion was huge - half a chicken basically. It was seasoned well (maybe a bit too salty but went well with turnip greens which weren't seasoned as well).

Every year we have a group dinner once during our week to ten days of sailing. For years we have gone to Captain E's for the simple but excellent food. I generally have seafood but I've also had their burgers and other dishes. When the weather is good, the outside dinning area is open and the tiki bar is serving drinks out back on the water. This place is typical of what you find in a small fishing village. Good food at a reasonable price. The service is friendly and responsive. I'll be back again next year. Give it a try. It's not that far off of Rt-13 as you go up and down the Eastern Shore of Virginia and Maryland.
