Unfortunately after you get seated, it becomes very hard to get the attention of anyone to even place an order. The atmosphere is relaxed, and sometimes they even have live performers, which is a nice touch. It can get pretty crowded though, so calling ahead is probably a good idea because there have been times I've gone and they were completely packed. Carryout can also be a little slow at times since the hostesses are usually busy running around, so even when the food is ready there can still be a wait.

Former employee here, anybody else that currently works here will know exactly who I am within a…read morefew sentences of reading this, and I refuse to remove this review. I started working here as my first job in March. Everyone seemed very nice and pleasant to work with, I was getting decent working hours, the workload wasn't hateful, and it was what I expected out of a first job. A couple weeks after getting hired, however, a few cracks started appearing from working there. First came one night after one of my shifts where a very nice man approached me as I was waiting outside how he admired my appearance and professionalism when asking for an application, the interview process, and working there, but then he advised me that this establishment is not the place I would want to be if I expected good treatment from my management. I naively dismissed this remark as I hadn't noticed anything negative come from anyone higher up thus far and we bade each other a good night. My first real indication that something wasn't right was that it took a full month for me to receive my first check (on April 29th from starting March 28th) on the bi-weekly pay schedule everyone was set up on. To their credit, they had paid me for all the hours I had worked up to that point up to April 12th where that first pay period ended, but after that was when there began more issues. For the first few weeks I had worked there, I was working 4 days/week (20hrs/week) then one week came to surprise me because I had been under the impression that my schedule would be the same each week when I had learned that I had been scheduled only to work that weekend: there was a sheet I had been previously unaware of until I asked why my hours got cut and got told about it. I'll admit I could have asked for more hours albeit I had been told I was scheduled based on the flow of business so I decided not to question it. On my last day of working there, I had arrived on time, a few minutes early, for my shift that started at 10am that day. Problem was, was that the owner (or what I presumed to be the owner) hadn't come yet to open the place which was supposed to open at 10am that day until around 10:10am with customers and other employees waiting outside with some talking of leaving and going elsewhere if the place hadn't been opened within another few minutes. After the place had finally been opened with everyone now inside, I was instructed by the wife of the person I presumed owner to start cleaning up the server's station. A little bit later, I was told by a different coworker, another former employee, in the kitchen that, that type of work I wasn't hired for and that I needed to help in the kitchen and then he told me to help prepare some of the food which I started to do. Soon after THAT, I was redirected by the wife to clean the server's station again, but this is where my coworker intervened and told the wife what he had told me a few minutes before. So she gets on the phone with the boss who had hired me to begin with about what I was supposed to be doing there and then he called me to tell me that I was now only to do dishes, and to only listen to him and the kitchen manager for instruction. Everyone else was to be ignored beyond that, but not 5 minutes later, did the wife come over and tell me the same... except that I was only to listen to her, her husband, and another manager who wasn't the kitchen manager, and that I was not to enter the kitchen area without permission. So, I just listened to the boss that actually hired me and did the dishes for the rest of my shift. Later that day I had informed my boss that I quit. Up to this point, I had not received my paycheck from the period of April 13th through the 26th. Nor had I been fully compensated for the period of April 27th through May 10th, being paid for working one shift when I had worked 3 during that time. Now, after 3 whole MONTHS of arguing back and forth have I gotten that final check of the money they owed me. Like that man said, management is not good here. Don't go here if you can help it, thank you

They have their top combos or you can build your own. They also have blue crab of course and make sure you place orders in advance as they sell out especially on holidays. There is nowhere to eat inside or sit so you can order to go prior or stop in and get yours to go as well. The staff is wonderful and it was nice to talk with the other customers as we waited for ours. It's not big inside just a couple counters with food options to choose from and you take with you to go. They have all the seasoning and sides for sale also, along with frozen items and even paper for your crabs if you need it.

This outer suburban, roadside business has been there for a while. It's part country market, part…read moreseafood and fishmonger and part restaurant seemingly specializing in carrout. On our first visit on a winter Wednesday, we were impressed with everything we saw. Being a self-professed seafood snob with extensive periods of my life living ( and eating) in coastal areas, we bought some fresh fish ("blue catfish" to be specific). We help the Chesapeake Bay by eating this endangered species. We also bought some homemade compound butter - they have several seasoning blends. The verdict was that the freshness was outstanding and the trimming (no bones or other waste) was perfect. And with fish, freshness is everything. The price was fair too for the area and the service was personable and helpful. (Note that the inner lining paper of the wrapper stuck to the skin too much - they should change that but I'm not deducting a star - the fish itself was that great). On return trips, we'll check the other faire (shellfish, prepared-on-premises seafood, dine-in options). For now, we are quite happy and the Lighthouse deserves more business.

(Anyone want to know how to cold smoke 24 filleted salmon in a cardboard refrigerator box? Let me know!). I needed to find some Chesapeake Channa to make updated Baltimore Coddies for a tasting event. (IYKYK, hon). The Trouts were able to special order the fish for me - not easy to do because CCs are a by-product catch so not always available. Outstanding service! If you can get them you really, really should. Chesapeake Channa are an invasive species that are wreaking havoc in the Bay. The good news: they are incredibly tasty, with a firm, flakey flesh that's suitable for pan frying, roasting, poaching (and sous viding, my technique of choice for this event). Everybody raved about how great the fish was - even after I told them that Chesapeake Channa is more commonly known as "Snakehead". (Hey, it worked for Chilean Sea Bass, which used to be known as "Patagonian Toothfish"). So, thank you to Lighthouse for helping me introduce an old Baltimore dish to a new audience, and help save the Chesapeake Bay at the same time. Score!

So I've been to J&T very often through the years but never had a chance to go to the Woodbine Inn…read moreacross the street. I know these two businesses collaborate with crabs. Perhaps the same owner? One thing you should be aware of is the traffic pattern is a bit janky so be cautious around here. So when you order crabs from here, it gets hand delivered across the street from J&T. It takes about 20 minutes so if you want to eat right away, call Woodbine Inn and place the order so that it is ready when you get there. Another bit of advice: call several days in advance and pre-order the largest crabs they have available for the day you are coming. We came on a Saturday at 1pm and only mediums were available. We were waited on by Jenn who was very attentive and friendly. She explained how things worked around there. We ordered a pitcher of Yuengling, 1/2 fried chicken, side salad, onion rings, 1lb of shrimp, 4 cups of half and half- 1/2 Md crab soup and 1/2 cream crab soup, and 2 dozen medium crabs. The beer came out really cold and refreshing. So much so that a fly decided to take a plunge in one of the cups. Jenn replaced the cup of beer without hesitation. I was looking forward to the fried chicken but was a bit disappointed. Chicken and crab combo is awesome but this chicken, although piping hot, was somewhat dry. I have a phobia about dry food and could not finish the thigh. Just needed to be a little bit more moist and juicy. The salad was fresh and the vinaigrette dressing was on point. The onion rings were huge but only 4 pieces came out. It was a side to the chicken so that was fine. The shrimp was ok. I would have preferred a little more seasoning but that is just me. Now the soup... when I hear half and half, I was thinking possibly a 2section bowl with half Md crab soup and 1/2 cream of crab soup. Nope. It just came out mixed together. But it kind of worked! I enjoyed every last drop of it and so did everyone else at the table. Now the crabs. I saw a young man trekking across that dangerous street playing frogger and dodging traffic to get us those crabs and surprisingly, they stayed hot the entire meal! Even though they were medium, they were all fully packed! For the 4 of us, 2 dozen was more than enough. We had couple of pieces left over so we took that home. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience here today. Definitely would have been a 5 star if the chicken was moist!

Don't get me wrong those steak tacos absolutely slapped! The wings and tostones were just okay. The tostones had some parts that were super crunchy, and other bites that weren't. My partner thought they were just okay, but I wasn't a big fan,, I'm probably a bit biased cause I prefer fried plantains and I think have more of that plantain flavor. I did appreciate whatever was in that house sauce tho holy moly Wings were okay!! We got the loco dust; nothing groundbreaking but they were good! The real star of the show was the steak tacos we shared- it hit the spot of our taco craving!! The red onion was over powering sometimes, I love pickled onion so I didn't mind too much but for others I've heard it's hard to taste anything else after you've had so much of it which I understand. In total, it was around $50. I don't know if it was totally worth it but it was okay!
