    Shrimp Tacos with tortilla chips & guacamole
    Mackenzie K.

    I got the shrimp tacos & they were delicious! Seasoned nicely & a good amount of shrimp included. The guacamole on the side was great! Crowded when we went in but the service was still completed in a timely manner. Would recommend. The dining room gave a cozy homely feel.

    Gazpacho
    Wendy T.

    Fabulous atmosphere, great service and the food is beyond delicious !! We are big fans of the new on the menu gazpacho. Full of shrimp, avocado, tomatoes and cucumbers. It is world class. Highly recommend.

    Nachos with chicken
    Myra C.

    Great atmosphere especially for sports fans. They had several TVs and games playing at the same time; busy on a Saturday afternoon. Service was so utterly slow. The food.. well, it's bar food. I think the menu has too many items on it. The bacon cheese fries were ok. The chicken nachos, meh. Had old bay (?) seasoning in the chicken with a bunch of pico dumped on top. This made the nachos soggy. Yuck. The worst was waiting for our bill. It took forever and yes, we asked the hostess to flag our server who was MIA. We won't be back

    Strawberry Margarita with Sugar Rim

    Food and service was great. Went here for the first time today with my mom and aunt. Great food and drinks. I go past here all the time and never went in until today. If you've never been definitely go check them out. We ate our food before I could get photos. I suggest the pretzel and the bang bang shrimp.

    Went a couple of weeks ago on homecoming night. It was busy, but we were offered to sit outside with heaters. The outdoor area is amazing! It took a little bit for our server to come over, but another staff member jumped in to help him which was very appreciated! I LOVED my wrap and my parents said the other food was good! There was a lot on the menu I would love to come back and try. Also, great live musician!

    Homemade chips and avocado salad

    Another great lunch at this local eatery. Fresh ingredients, great service , homemade flavor and pride in every bite. I ordered the blackened rockfish tacos. They came with homemade Coleslaw, guacamole, sauce, Pico de gallo and sour cream on corn tortillas. A wonderful lunch in a great atmosphere. The restaurant was popular for lunch in a Wednesday which should tell you it's a local favorite. A wonderful little gem in this beautiful community. Trust me you will love it!

    Great atmosphere and service. Food was good, but not great…read more Prices were way too high for what you got. Live music was very good, but perhaps a little too loud on the bar side. The renovations done are outstanding. The staff was plentiful and attentive. Four of the cheaper items on a limited menu were not available. Items ordered: The Seafood Pasta which was a little overpriced and had way too much pepper. It was almost returnable. The Boar Meatball which was very good. It could have used a small bed of pasta and/or some bread. Too expensive when you consider you only get one meatball for $19. The Korean BBQ Tacos comes with two tacos and no sides for $22. Way overpriced. Did order a side of French Fries which was $4.

    We made it in to the Alibi tonight for the first time. We were seated immediately at a bar seat,…read morewhich was a high top that could seat four. Our waitress, Linda, greeted us and took our drink orders right away. She was very patient as I asked a bunch of questions about the menu. Our dinner arrived quickly and it was yummy! I had the fried fish, which came with a delicious Old Bay tartar sauce. The fries were so plentiful that neither one of us could finish them. My only (minor) complaint was that it was difficult to eat the fish in the basket it arrived in, as the paper and wire made it hard to get the flaky fish. But the food was great! A live acoustic guitar player came midway through our meal and although he played right next to us, we were able to continue to have a conversation. The decor is nice and it is divided by a hallway which makes the place feel cozy, although there seems to be plenty of seating. We will return!

The hostess and waitress were so kind, friendly, and accommodating! They brought out a water bowl for our dog. We ordered the whole oysters flash fried (special of the day), the shrimp and grits, and the shrimp salad sandwich with island fries (upgraded for 3.50). The oysters were fantastic. Freshly fried and super juicy. We loved them. Our sandwich and shrimp&grits took a while to get to us, but worth the wait. The shrimp in the grits were massive. My husband couldn't finish it all. The shrimp salad was stellar. And the brioche bun went so well. I will say the island fries had a spice we didn't love. The queso dip it came with was good. Didn't love the chili aioli it came with. It was weirdly sweet. I'd probably stick to the regular fries next time. Service is a little slower than were use to, but it definitely fit the vibe of the area. Just low key and relaxing. We would definitely come back!

I will definitely be going back. And if you're reading this review and you are the manager you need to thank all your employees because they really are the best in the business.

    The Retriever Oyster House in Chestertown left us with a mixed impression, one that deserves a fair…read moreand constructive take. We had just come from a college football game and, on the fly, decided to grab dinner here based on the recommendation of the one local in our group. There were seven of us, and most went for the double smash burgers with fries, which were excellent. Kim, our server, was outstanding, prompt, accurate, and attentive throughout the evening. The bartender also added to the positive side of the experience, making sure everything at the table ran smoothly. The issue came at the door. We had tried to call ahead to let them know we were on the way, not realizing that OpenTable was their preferred system. When we arrived, the host made this clear, but in a way that was unnecessarily sharp and cold. It set the wrong tone for the night. In a town where friendliness is the norm, the contrast was striking. The experience began under a haze that was difficult to shake, even though the food and drinks were excellent once we sat down. To be constructive, this is less about policy and more about hospitality. A host sets the tone, and a welcoming explanation could have changed everything. Something as simple as, "We usually use OpenTable to handle groups this size, but I'm glad you're here, let's get you taken care of," would have gone a long way. Instead of frustration, it could have created a positive first impression and likely earned a loyal group of returning guests for years to come. Inside, the atmosphere was lively, with locals enjoying themselves in a loud and fun environment. Our group of longtime friends who have been convening in Chestertown for two decades fit right in once we were seated. However, the bad first impression lingered, and as a result we only had one round with food before deciding to leave a lot earlier than our normal rhythm for an evening out. We ended up taking our bar bill to another venue. Great food and excellent table service carried the night, but the host made sure we will not be returning as part of our annual tradition. This is a restaurant with strong potential, and it could go from good to exceptional with just a little more attention to how guests are greeted.

Special shoutout to our server Kassie, who went above and beyond with her hospitality and gave us some great tips for things to do around Chestertown. The bar area has a great atmosphere too. We'll definitely be back on our next visit to Brampton to try more.
