Food is ok Steak Fajitas were good Scallops were so, so. Wouldn't recommend Jambalaya was ok but they should use their Spanish Rice vs White. Service was good. Restaurant has inside and outside seating. Very casual beach style local hangout. read more

The service was excellent and food was pub food but very very good. The atmosphere, on the deck by water is excellent. It's a great place to stop in the late afternoon. read more

We had a lovely afternoon at Hsrbor Shack for Father's Day. The server was great. The folks at the reception were friendly and helpful. Their strawberry daiquiri always amazing. Tge pins colada was sooo yummy. We enjoyed chicken planks and fish sandwiches. The place is casual and comfortable with water views. We felt welcomed and enjoyed the environment. read more

My husband and I visited Harbor Shack on Saturday, July 4th, for our anniversary dinner, and the experience was shockingly unprofessional from start to finish. We were initially seated in a hot, humid room with no airflow. Only after we insisted were we moved -- reluctantly -- to the air‑conditioned section. We had already placed our order with the first waitress, who followed us to the new room. From there, the service became chaotic. The unsweetened iced tea I ordered was completely flat. I sent it back and switched to a Sprite. I asked for a plate of tomatoes, and the waitress said she would "give them to me," never mentioning any charge. I ordered fried shrimp with mac and cheese and a baked potato. A different waitress delivered my meal with only the baked potato. When I mentioned the missing side, she brought french fries, even though I had ordered mac and cheese. After reminding the original waitress, she brought the mac and cheese along with a fly fan -- because the table was swarming with flies. By the end of the meal, the iced tea was still flat, the sides were mixed up, and the environment was uncomfortable. Then the bill arrived. We were charged for: The tomatoes I was told would be "given" Two drinks (the flat tea and the Sprite replacement) French fries I never ordered When we questioned the charges, the waitress said she would fix it -- until the manager arrived. This manager, a woman with dark brown hair who seats guests at the front, approached us with one of the most hostile attitudes I have ever encountered in any restaurant. Instead of listening, she immediately accused us of "not wanting to pay for our drink." We explained calmly that we were willing to pay for one drink, not two, especially when the first was undrinkable. She insisted the tea "couldn't be flat" because it was brewed daily, dismissed the issue entirely, and then argued about the fries. When I explained I didn't order fries and didn't even eat them, she asked, "Did you eat them?" and when we clarified again, she snapped, "There -- you got your fries," and walked away. She did not correct a single charge on the nearly $79 bill. As we left, she looked directly at me and told us "FU--, leave my restaurant," repeating it again. I have never experienced such vulgar, aggressive behavior from a manager in any establishment. Harbor Shack needs to be aware that this manager is driving customers away with her unprofessional, foul‑mouthed behavior. Guests should also be aware that they may be charged for items they did not order, and any attempt to correct the bill may be met with hostility. This was supposed to be an anniversary dinner, and instead it was one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. read more

Touted as the locals place to eat, it is fabulously divvy! We had good service and enjoy dining on the deck that overlooks the marina. I ordered the Red Grapefruit Crush, which was very refreshing and delicious. Since we are in Maryland, we ordered the crab dip appetizer. It was creamy and is served in a bread bowl that you break apart to eat. It is a mess eat, but the dip is creamy and delicious. It has an undercurrent of sour cream or maybe cream cheese and it plenty to share with others. My husband had the fried shrimp for dinner with the veggie of the day, local corn on the cob. He said it was crispy and very good. I ordered the Maryland crabcake which was flaky with crab and I had a salad and the corn as well. All of it was prepared perfectly, came out quickly, and was sized perfectly. For dessert we shared the hot apple tart which is served with creamy cinnamon ice cream. Yum! Highly recommend Harbor Shack. read more

Nothing makes you less likely to return to work after lunch than sitting at one of their dock tables, munching down a great lunch and staring at the variety of ice cold beers. prompt friendly service, but I sensed being "off season" gave us the best experience. Prompt refills on drinks. 8 of us ate, everything from crab cakes to club sandwiches were fresh and tasty. Fries had a clean cook to them , crisp but not over cooked. Solid but not stellar value. read more

Great meal and great service! Had a delicious burger and quesadilla! Will be back again!

My husband and I had lunch at Harbor Shack last summer with some friends. The restaurant is comfortable and welcoming and right on the water. The service was fast and friendly. The food was great (I had a really good steak, mac and cheese and salad), and the rum buckets were even better. I loved the cute little store across the parking lot as well. We usually go to Waterman's when we're in Rock Hall. I think I will push for Harbor Shack next time as it just had a newer and more laid back vibe to me. read more

What a great way to celebrate spring! Great food, drinks and service. Happiness on a cloudy day! Chris

Harbor Shack is a good time - a lively local crowd plus seasonal tourists. Hearty bar-food - I had the Salmon BLT for $15.95 served with delicious fries. My man got veggie fajitas which he enjoyed. Love ot good booze, food and Magnificent views of the water. Lovely. read more

Our favorite in Kent County! We have not had a bad meal yet. The wings are excellent as are the fish sandwiches, the Summer Salad , clams in garlic and wine with delicious bread, hamburgers, fried oysters and I can't remember the rest we liked it all! The service is very good but in the bar seating, when it's crowded the staff could use another bartender to mix drinks just for the tables because the bar gets so crowded the poor staff are literally racing around exhausted. They work very hard and the food is great and we are happy. They also are very generous donating to their Rock Hall Community. read more

Great local hang out. Waterside draws in travelers. Good food., great service. All the staff enjoy their work

Nice location and that was it. Party of six and waitress skipped two people at the table when getting drink orders. After ordering salad came in about 8 to 10 minutes followed just two minutes later by our appetizer and only another two minutes by our entrees (we had barely begun with either the salad or the appetizer). Then it was just under one hour before we ever saw our waitress again. Our table was constantly covered in smoke fumes coming from the bar. Our glasses were empty most of the time we sat there. What a miserable meal. Oh yes, my scallops were barely cooked. Just a little better than raw. read more

Gorgeous place!! Inside under the roof in this open floor plan... no walls so there was a beautiful cross breeze! The staff is personable and have happy faces. No rush, casual atmosphere... almost feels like I'm on vacation!!! Ms Kay and Stephanie really make you feel like I'm having dinner at my family's house, kinda like a family reunion (except I have never been here). The crowd seems like it is hometown locals hangout type. Push some tables together and it's a family seating. We were a party of 9! And we had NO wait!!! We called ahead and Ms Kay said it would only take 10 minutes to get the table ready! We got there and it took less than 2 minutes! All the dishes were on point! So flavorful and savory! Huge portions! We all shared and did a tasting tour and there was smiles all around the table!!! I wish I could take this place to my town!!! It was a memorable experience :) read more

We have been sailing out of Rock Hall for years and I never even knew this place existed. Big miss on our part. Decent food, great service, incredibly fun atmosphere. Cannot wait to go back next year! read more

I will say the service was great. My dad and son's sandwiches were good. I got ribs which while the flavor of the sauce was good. The ribs weren't cooked right. We got onion rings. Seems like the order was what was left in the bag which was mostly broken pieces of onion rings. Think there were four complete onion rings. read more

First of all, it was wonderful to even find a place OPEN in March of 2022 in this small Bay town. We'd never been the Rock Hall before and were looking for ... well...ANYWHERE where we could eat! This place didn't disappoint. The service was ok; the place was very busy and it appeared only 2 waitresses had to serve everyone. We received limited attention. But the Cream of Crab! It was quite simply the best I'd ever eaten and we were there from Baltimore. The tossed salad was good. My wife had their veggie fajitas but there were only two vegetables available. The decor was very nice for a place in such a small town. Recommended. read more

I don't know who runs this place but the staff is amazing- working their buns off, personable, polite, dedicated and committed- we've been here 20+ times - haven't even eaten yet tonight and we are impressed once again. read more

Excellent! Food (soft shell crab) drinks, and service (bartender)! So happy that we stopped there!

Fun place with good food and nice staff. We sat on the patio. The crab imperial platter looked great but to big! I got the appetizer portobello mushroom with crab imperial which was a perfect compromise. That plus a spinach salad with a cup of cream of crab was just right. read more

Nice view my sister and I sat at a picnic table she ordered a dirty banana which was OK I ordered a rum runner which was definitely not a rum runner it tasted like a sweet tart. Her coconut shrimp were pretty good my wings were dry and overcooked. The hostess at the dock bar just sat there and did absolutely nothing. Our server was meh not particularly friendly. We don't get it people are working for tips why don't they have a personality. They're not busy AnyWho food was meh. read more

Lively atmosphere and great service! There is nothing sleepy about this joint. Great selection of daily specials. Will return!

By far the best restaurant in Rock Hall! The view of the Chesapeake Bay and Rock Hall Harbor is to die for. Outside deck and tiki hut serving drinks in the warmer months. They make the best mixed drinks ever, try the tropical crush! They always have great specials. We have had everything from seafood, crab cakes, blt, prime rib and everything is a 10 out of 10. The back bar plays jazz and has a very fun feel to it. No matter where you choose to sit, you'll encounter the friendliest and most efficient staff you have ever experienced. You'll probably meet a few new friends as well. read more

Outdoor seating only during Covid. Good cocktails. Excellent corn on the cob. Food was served hot and people were friendly. Dogs welcome outdoors. read more

We've been coming here for years and their newly enhanced menu is awesome! Lots of different options. They really expanded with things to please everyone. Nothing fancy but good fare. Very casual tiki bar/porch vibe. Standard beers, nothing too fancy for wine, but very fun summer cocktails and frozen drinks in keeping with the beach vibe. Always friendly staff. They have a lot of runners which is nice because they're helpful at clearing the tables and checking in on you when its busy. Speaking of which, it does get busy on the summer weekends so if you have a large party I would call ahead for a reservation. It gets busy because the waterfront location and great live music really creates a great atmosphere. Definitely a locals spot and standard hang in Rock Hall so give it a try! read more

Visited the Harbor Shack on two occasions this past weekend. Enjoyed the broiled scallops for dinner and an excellent shrimp salad for lunch on Sunday. Servers we're very pleasant and helpful. Will visit again next time in Rock Hall read more

Four of us came here by boat for lunch this past Sunday. Harbor Shack has a weird entrance/exit, so take your time and go in through the back. I loved the array of license plates and funky decor. Our server was a very nice young man. I really liked that the menu encourages its patrons to turn off phones and to be nice. Really, they reserve the right to not serve you if you are rude. I had a very soggy (but decent) chicken salad sandwich on roll. The fries and cole slaw were OK. The beer selection here is lack luster-- lots of predictable popular beer here. I settled for a Yuengling. For all four of us it was just $100, not bad for Rock Hall, Maryland. The eclectic classic rock music was too loud and we ended up having to talk loud to compensate. I would totally go back here just to sit on the porch (away from the too loud music) and people watch. I also think next time I would get a margarita... read more

This is THE BEST PLACE to eat in Rock Hall. There crab cakes are to die for. Went on Friday night for Prime Rib it was excellent. All staff are very professional and very friendly ( very attentive). I had already posted a review but can't find it. Damn yelp!! They even have a great gift shop (Leslie). Was a doll and very helpful in us getting stuff back to calif protected. When in Rock Hall if you don't visit the Harbor Shack YOU HAVE MISSED OUT! U should go back and tell them MARY sent u from (Cali). Thanks for making Rock Hall worth the stay HARBOR SHACK. ( right on the bay). I gave this place 5 stars but won't let me. Thats dumb!! read more

Rockfish was excellent. Crab imperial special was good served w/sauce on side, though a bit salty. Waiter was young but extremely polite and professional. Storm came in and the owner arranged a ride back to the marina for ten of us. Prices were average of 18.00. read more

We had a recent day on the shore and friends took us to this waterside location for lunch. We were a large group and were happy to peruse the many dining areas to find a huge picnic table on the center deck. Service was crab house style and it was a good thing we were not in a hurry. Got to remember to sloow down on the other side of the Bridge! The setting was beautiful and some of our less patient, under 10 crowd played by the boat ramp after they had their hot dog. The menu is varied from entrees app, seafood, brisket sandwich to Mexican. I opted for the special soft crab sandwich, Jeff has the crab cake stacker. The stacker was a crab cake with wasabi mayo, sliced applewood bacon, tomato and sliced advocado on the soft roll. It was as you might guessed, fantastic. My softies, two, were fried then broiled and served on Texas toast with great slaw and marginal fries. Overall is was a good experience, quicker service would have garnered another star. It's also fairly priced but not cheap eats. read more

I will say this, I enjoyed their fries and beer. However, I ordered a shrimp po boy sub, made of deep fried pucks of puréed something that had no shrimp taste whatsoever. I ordered a raspberry sangria which was hardly different from a glass of water both in looks and taste. At best they could call it "essence of sangria". Needless to say I was not happy. I will return for another try because this is not the level of cuisine I remember from last year. read more

Disappointed in the harbor shack... been coming here for years and came back for the first time this season by boat only to be turned away by the nasty owner as she wouldn't let us sit OUTSIDE with our dog. News flash ... times are changing and people are bringing their well behaved pets to more places...a much more enjoyable experience than sitting next to a table full of screaming kids. If you want pet friendly go to Watermans ... better view, better docking, more comprehensive menu and much friendlier staff. read more
