While we were in the area, we decided to have lunch at the Chesapeake Landing. Their menu is pretty extensive, offering various apps, soups, salads, steamed seafood, platters, ribs, pastas, fried chicken, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, and kid options. We ordered: +a cup of Cream of Crab - this was thick, creamy, and pretty delicious! +the Crab Dip - served with toasted focaccia; could have used freshly-grated cheese; not much crab, and there was no flavor; the focaccia was also chewy and not well-toasted +the Crab Cakes - choice of having them broiled or friend, and we went for the broiled; not too much filler, but these just were not fresh and had no seasoning, whatsoever; the hot sauce didn't help, but their house tartar sauce was pretty good +Shrimp Scampi - with butterflied shrimp on a bed of linguini, dressed in a garlic sauce; shrimp were overcooked and rubbery, and was not fresh; the sauce was way too light and didn't taste like garlic sauce +Stuffed Shrimp - shrimp topped with crab imperial; these were just 'okay', but could have been served piping hot +coleslaw - had a nice tang +potato salad - creamy and tasty +onion rings - large and crispy; slightly overcooked +sweet potato fries - these were yummy! +sweet tea - nice and refreshing The basket of homemade cornbread was tasty, and the hot dinner rolls were so soft and fluffy! Service was friendly and attentive. The place is a bit outdated, and you can tell many locals come here. There is a little seafood counter area that you could purchase fresh seafood and condiments; they also have various weekend events, such as AYCE buffets. No reservations was necessary, as we did a walk-in and were seated immediately. Plenty of parking in their large lot. +homemade cornbread and dinner rolls +Cream of Crab soup +sweet tea +friendly service +ample parking read more

This was one of the best seafood spots we've ever taken a leap of faith with! Given the great reviews in the area, this one was off the typical beaten path and did not disappoint. We were their first lunch customers and the service couldn't have been nicer. The vibes were great - a typical seafood joint. Later we found out from a local that they actually have a fish market inside. Not sure how we missed this but we would go back here if we ever went back to the area! read more

Chesapeake Landing Restaurant - Fried shrimp and Cole slaw - New American Near Me - Saint Michaels, Maryland

My first time at this restaurant but will not be my last. Our party of six arrived for lunch, took a few minutes to get seated but once seated we were well served by our waitress with no name given. We had vegetable crab soup, chicken salad and shrimp salad wrap, oyster stew. All agreed that the vegetable crab soup was four stars plus with nice fresh vegetables and just enough crab to let you know it was there. My friend said the Reuben tasted fine but I thought it looked a little weak. The chicken salad and shrimp salad were both good to excellent and would gladly get them again. Restaurant also has a nice selection of fresh seafood and they appear to do a good carry out business. It seems to be more of a place for locals as opposed to tourist. read more

A little late but I visited here for Valentine's Day and considering how busy it was, the service was pretty good. Granted we had a reservation so we got seated right away but our server was prompt and we did not have to wait too long in between orders. We opted for the buffet and given how delicious everything sounded, I felt like it under delivered for the cost. However, the fried shrimp, oysters on the half shell and the smith island cake were the best things! The Cole slaw was also good too! Reminded me of the old CFA style Cole slaw! The Mac and cheese was a bit dry, the crab cakes were underwhelming and the broccoli casserole was very bland. The restaurant definitely stayed busy all night. Definitely seems like a good local spot. read more

Each time we come here I want to like this place. Our friends always order the Lobster Night Special - lobster with two sides of seafood and a garden salad. And maybe even more sides? The meal starts with bread rolls and delicious corn bread. Our server brought our drinks quickly. Salads came for those who got it with their meal. I had ordered a fried seafood platter with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. I was disappointed that my scallops were over cooked. The other items were good. I was so full that I didn't have dessert. Service was very good with free refills on sodas without our asking. read more

We came for a weekend getaway in St Michaels and were so happy that we stopped here for lunch! We got the half and half soup (cream of crab and Maryland crab). It tasted better than it looked! Def had some crab shell pieces, so careful when eating. At least it was fresh. We also got a 1/2 lb of steamed shrimp and half dozen large crabs. I also got an iced tea. The prices were pretty solid and reasonable, especially compared to the same quality of seafood in St Michaels and Baltimore. Our entire bill was $60. The service was also great. Everyone was very nice and cheerful. We were still new to eating crabs, so a staff member came over to walk us through how to eat them. It was really helpful and informative, and we really appreciated it! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in fresh, quality seafood with affordable prices in a local/family setting. You could see why all the locals come here. It's not "fancy" per se, but also doesn't need to be. :) read more

Food and atmosphere was great. The service was also great, even though they were busy. It was a great experience

My mother wanted to celebrate her birthday at this restaurant, and oh boy will I never go back. It all started when the hostess never got off her phone when my wife and I walked in. Luckily we didn't need her when we saw the table my family was sitting at. We placed our order, and literally an hour later, we got half of it. And what we got was ice cold. Then we got our check, and over 2/3 of the items were billed at the wrong price, and if all that weren't enough, they billed all of our deserts to the table beside us! Needless to say, we won't be going back to Chesapeake Landing. read more

Went here Sunday afternoon after church. Atmosphere was nice the restaurant was not crowded at all. we where greeted by a nice young lady who seated us , we sat in a booth. the menu was very busy there was so much to choose from it was hard to decide. We ended up choosing the crab pretzel for starters ( it took awhile for it to come out but it was very good ) we ordered the Seafood plater with two sides Onion Rings and Coleslaw I had the Crab Imperial which was amazing it came with two sides as well I had the Coleslaw and Onion Rings. everything was delicious. I had a Root beer Float ( this was not on the menu however the waitress made it for me and just charged extra for the Ice-cream). There where a few minor things . Quite a few things on the menu stated market price, so you had to make sure that you kept up with the price that the waitress gave for the market prices. If not there could be a chance that you may be over charged. There where a few flies that we had to keep swatting as we ate that was annoying at times. ( Hence the 4 stars) Other than that the customer service was great. and everyone was very friendly. I would return again. read more

Came here in a recommendation from a shop owner in town. It's a local friendly place. I had the seafood platter for $44- the seafood was plentiful: flounder, scallops, oysters, 2 shrimp and a delicious crab cake. It was very filling. The shrimp were a bit small but everything else was fantastic. Service was very friendly and fast! read more

Visited recently and am just now getting to my review. We were a small group and everything just seemed to be "off". Crab cakes were not as advertised - definitely not jumbo lump (grew up in a seafood community on the Shore so I know the difference) and a LOT of shells, coleslaw was very bland though we did like how finely the cabbage was shredded, stuffed mushrooms were not--they were just sliced mushrooms with crab plopped on top. When we asked, we were told, "that's how 'they' do it". Staff were friendly but we'll definitely pass on the food, especially with so many other options nearby. read more

You would not think it would be so difficult to find a good place for steamed crabs on the Eastern Shore. Look no further! This is a family restaurant with a full menu that also serves fabulous steamed crabs. The meat is flavorful. A dozen filled two of us. read more

Great place to get great seafood. We came on a Friday night and got seated right away. Great service, kind friendly staff. They have gluten free options also! Left full, with a happy belly! read more

Friendly service and truly the best crabs I've ever had. They were so fresh and cooked to perfection. We asked about the crabs and our server told us she had to count them first because they had just brought them in. That's how fresh they were! This place was highly recommended by locals for the crabs and I can see why. At the time of this review, it was $20 for half a dozen medium crabs (and they gave me a bonus extra, so really it was $20 for 7). read more

What an incredible local spot. Perfect seafood. Perfect rockfish. Perfect crab cakes. Wait staff was attentive and nice. Prices were more than affordable. This place should be on everyone list when visiting the Chesapeake Bay Area. Thank you for a tremendous experience read more

So we were told this is where the real locals go and it would be much more authentic than the touristy places. Well it had a lot of local flair but the food wasn't anything special. They seemed busier than they were expecting when we went which might explain why most of the fried items seemed like the oil might not have been hot enough. Seems like their deal is quantity over quality, but there are way worse places to spend an evening. read more

Great seafood always great service and love the takeout service crab dip is one of the best I have had

Stopped in for lunch today The crab cakes were delicious and our Server Stephanie was very friendly and attentive My friend did return the soft shell crab sandwich because the crab was so small. Although she was told that prior to ordering it was exchanged quickly. My thought is the crab was so small they should have put two on the sandwich. The restaurant was very comfortable and clean. Will definitely be back Hii read more

Fantastic seafood. A real taste of Maryland from the crabs to the hospitality. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

Mediocre/poor crab cakes and less than stellar service. Overpriced buffet for Father's Day. The soft shells from the regular menu were only slightly more than 3" long. They did not even cover the slice of bread they were served on. We have been regulars for years and the last two visits have been terrible. So sorry to see what used to be a good place at a great price go this way. read more

The place is always crowded to be sure. The service is good. O can only give the food 4 stars however because the food is just okay. They do serve a corn pudding that tastes like Momma's and the soft shell crab is delicious read more

Food service and ambiance was perfect! My seafood omelette was delicious and my husband's stuffed flounder was fresh and delicious too. Our server was the best ever and we have had her before. She is always very attentive and knows what is fresh on the menu. Love her. Happy Easter read more

Don't be fooled, this is the locals favorite seafood in St. Michael's. We went for dinner and had many dishes recommended by the waitress. Started with a cup of cream of crab followed by the fried clams and the sweet and sour shrimp. We followed that with an order of the broiled crab cakes paired with potato salad and coleslaw. We finished the meal with a piece of the chocolate lovers cake. Everything was great. The crab cakes were our favorite! read more

Service was great! Accommodation for large party was good, enough servers who were efficient, professional and knowledgeable. Food was good ! Especially liked the meaty crab cakes and stuffed shrimp. My husband said his seafood platter was fine but complained of over breading on fish filet. Parking on site read more

First time there, nice place, food was good. I had the prime rib and it was excellent.

We ordered xl steam crabs they were medium at the best. The waitress said crabs are running small. I was disappointed with the size of the crabs and the price. They had a great taste . The service was good. The restaurant was clean and a typical eastern shore seafood restaurant. I will try the crabs again once they are in season. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. read more

The go-to seafood eatery near Saint Michaels MD. We stayed in Oxford and had two strong recommendations there for the Landing by locals and rode the short ferry over towards Saint Michaels. It's a large place, not real fancy, and very busy located a few miles north of town. My wife loaded up with clams (oysters not in season), note; the "butter" served with the clams tasted like margarine so star off for that - crab of course, sole, scallops, best potato salad I have had the pleasure of eating in a looong time. Savory scallops fried in a bacon roll were an appetizer, stewed tomatoes. All the seafood here (and generally in this area) is seasonal and very local to Chesapeake Bay. No swordfish here. I had crab-stuffed flounder that was delicious and creamy. My glass of prosecco was perfect - pro tip: it was very hot that day and I added ice and that eased enjoyment of a rich meal. read more

Location: about a mile west of Saint Michaels. No water view, but a very large parking lot with separate entrances for the restaurant and a very popular pub. Restaurant has indoor seating, bar has both indoor and outdoor. This place is very popular with the locals as well as visitors. Facilities: the restaurant has wooden tables and booths old-fashioned with dark stain and brass and a nautical theme of course. Service: everyone is friendly and very fast. They do a very high volume in the evenings and the kitchen serves quite quickly. Full bar and cocktails beer and wine are available in the dining room as well. special shout out to our waitress on a recent visit, Abby, she was efficient nice really great! Quality: really remarkable selection of seafood fresh broiled stuffed steamed almost any way you could imagine! Mostly local but every Thursday night they have a special during the season of Maine lobsters. One and a half pound Maine lobster with two sides your choice shrimp, muscles, clams, salad and cornbread. Market price flat rate recently we enjoyed this for $36 a person. Also comes with tubs of melted butter on a metal stand over a small alcohol lamp. Very nice! Value: they had a lot of other less expensive things on the menu but we felt the Thursday night lobster dinner was a great experience. Lots of butter on our fingers! Went home full and happy.(See photo) read more

Chesapeake Landing Restaurant - Thursday night special Maine lobster with sides of shrimp and mussels. - New American Near Me - Saint Michaels, Maryland

Wow terrible service. Sat at the bar while waiting for a 300$ to go order. Food brought out and no clams. Told us 2 mins and they would be ready. Waited 15 mins told a bunch of BS about the steamer and other information that was irrelevant and excuses. I had to get a refund for their f-up and now weve got cold food. No manager in sight and no care for the customer. Repulsive, go to crab claw or a better place with proper care for the clientele. Stay away from this sh*t hole. read more

Excellent food and service. We had lobster and the local fish. That being said, they could have cracked or at least have offered to crack the lobster for you. read more

We ordered the crab cake with potato salad and scallops with fries. They ask if you want them broiled or fried. We had ours broiled and they came out great. The price point is also great, not expensive at all for the quality of food you get. It looks like the locals frequent this place as we saw a group of six ladies playing cards while waiting for their food. Forgot to take pictures of the food as we were so hungry.. Try this place when you are in the Chesapeake area. read more

Chesapeake Landing Restaurant - Front porch of the restaurant - New American Near Me - Saint Michaels, Maryland

Very solid food with very Maryland character. First, pretty much everything had crab in it except the water! We had prime rib but had them hold the crabmeat on top (seriously, this is an option). Sweet potato fries (sans crabmeat) were pretty good. Second, the staff was warm and friendly. Third, and most importantly, they had delicious Smith Island Cake. Two flavors, caramel and red velvet, which is what we got. Face it, with all that is going on in the world today, a ten layer Smith Island Cake is the answer. read more

By far the crab dip was the best. And the crab imperial on top of the chicken. For me I would have plated stuff differently. Have the potatoes on the plate and not in a bowl on the plate. Too many dishes. Just a basic roll and crumbly corn bread. Nothing special to brag about. Applesauce as you expect. The chicken was good read more

There's no getting around it--the seafood is excellent. But the sides and related items ... Vegetables looked and tasted like they came out of a can. Cole slaw tasted as if it had been soaked in water; salad dressing tasted as if it had been diluted with water as well. Not good enough for the prices charged. read more

We got there at 5pm on a Saturday, great not to crowded.. we both got the crab soup i thought it taste like creamed chip beef no exaggeration. she got the blackened scalups. The scalups had old bay on them and were not fresh.. I'm very familiar with fresh seafood.. I couldn't eat these scalups.. her potato salad was good but we don't think it was made there .. I got the crab cakes there was no filling and were ok.. also Mac n cheese with stewed tomatoes.. my diner was ok... for desert I ordered a rice pudding.. again inedible.. rice was chewy hard .. the bill $106. Every plate was still on our tabil and not cleared.. not one item came out hot.. never again.. read more

Not great, not terrible. Crab melt was fine, a bit heavy on the cheese, but the crab was good. Onion rings are probably Sysco or some other frozen type. Wait staff is efficient and friendly. Menu is extensive and there are daily specials. I would stop again if near by. However that is partly because there's not a lot around. read more
