Not our first choice for 'best seafood in town' based on other yelp reviews, however those were closed due to it being Memorial Day. As if service industry folks need time with their families on national holidays... We ordered the hot crab dip with pita; seriously amaze-balls. We also ordered the catfish special...not recommended if you're from the south. Staff was friendly and attentive. Other patrons in the restaurant were quite entertaining. Namely the gentleman with Darth Vader helmet hair and the 10-year-old boy, who after taking about a quarter of the bowl of delicious chocolate covered mints generously said yes he would share. A must visit if you're in this 'best small town'. Also. May want to bring your hair crimper if you want to avoid looking like a tourist. read more

MacGregor's - Catfish special...eh - Seafood Near Me - Havre De Grace, Maryland

Not what it once was. Just tried this old family favorite after a while away. My shrimp po boy had lovely crispy shrimp but the lettuce and bacon were a flaccid mess. Tomato was totally flavorless. Good fries though. The rest of my families food was similarly bland with the only repeatable order being the turkey blt. Worst part was waiting an hour for our food to arrive. Flatly, there's a better option just next door... read more

Thanks MacGregor's for deleting my review on Facebook. Doesn't change the fact that your food sucks and you lie on your menu! I wish you all would just address the issue instead of blocking me and ignoring my comments. Customer service goes a long way; learn it! Yesterday's review: The food today was so disappointing!!! The "Jumbo Lump Crab Cake" was absolute SHIT!!!!! It was shredded crab trash!! Would have expected that from the High's gas station for $7.00. Whoever this executive chef is must be worthless to put out such garbage!! Biggest waste of cash I've ever spent on food!! The burgers were cooked to temperature but had no flavor and were dry as shit!!! Never coming back to the once good joint!! read more

Terrible experience having dinner here tonight. We were seated right away, but server took over 15 minutes to take drink order and another 10 to bring them out. Not sure why we even stuck around at that point. Food was okay at best when it showed up nearly an hour later. Server was nice and apologized for the delays but the restaurant was half empty when we were there so who knows how it would be when they weren't packed. Prices are ridiculous, $14 for a small salad and soup. Salad obviously right out of a bag. $15 for a wrap and a small pile of frozen fries. Will not return. read more

It's good, the foods yummy & the service is good. they just don't have many options on the menu.

Food was great and it is always a good time at MacGregor's!! even though they were short staffed due to covid they still managed to provide top notch service as always! cant wait to go back! read more

Long wait after seated marginal food, crab cake was good but that's it. I wouldnt recommend read more

We have been customers here for years but haven't been for a while. Not the MacGregor's we remember. We ordered soup and an appetizer which took forever to come out and both were cold. The bar tender on the deck by her own admission was tried and her lack of attention proved it. We ordered a burger and the shrimp po boy sandwich and again both were cold and my husband had about 10 French fries on his plate. At this point we just wanted to finish eating and pay our check. There are just too many other places to eat in Havre de Grace to go back there. So Sad! read more

Website advertising happy hour starting at noon and sever didn't know anything about it. Drinks were way too strong and unpalatable. Food was way way overpriced. $9 for a bowl of soup, $16.99 for small appetizer. Server was very nice. read more

I heard that this restaurant had improved and had gotten a new chef. However, yesterday I ordered a special salad that was over priced and the lettuce was slimy. My husband ordered the rock fish and chips and the inside of the dough on the fish wasn't cooked all the way. we told the staff and they remove the charges for the fish and chips in the salad from the bill. However, we're not gonna go back. read more

Sat on the deck and took about 15 minutes for someone that wasn't our waiter to ask if we wanted drinks. The waiter came over, took our food order and then eventually came back with drinks. We got fish dishes and when they came out, we didn't have silverware. Waiter said he'd be right back with it. We sat there for 10 minutes with our fish getting cold before I got up and got silverware off a table, reserved for someone else. The waiter was friendly but super inattentive. The rockfish was super bland but the stuffed flounder was really good. I did enjoy it. I asked for a drink refill when the food got to the table and that came out when I was done eating. The waiter never stopped back after dropping off food to check on us, see if we needed anything, nothing. I asked the waiter for the check which he promptly brought and promptly returned for. Getting the bill settled was the fastest thing about the service tonight. With other places nearby to try, I doubt I'll go back to MacGregor's again. read more

We celebrated my Husband's 50th birthday at MacGregors last Saturday and rented the private banquet room and buffet for a party of 20. The banquet room was perfect for us! Located on the top floor of the restaurant, you have a wonderful view of the Susquehanna River with your own private deck. Well appointed and tastefully decorated room with private bar and bathrooms. We chose the buffet option ...beef burgundy and chicken cordon bleu as our two entrees. The food was reasonably priced and delicious! The service is what earned the 5 stars. From the first call to the restaurant to the very end of the party, MacGregors staff were very responsive and made sure every need was met with a smile!! Thank you Nancy and Thomas!! Lots of great choices in the area...but if you are on the fence, go with MacGregors! read more

Overall it wasnt to bad except my soup came faster than my soda did. Small selection of food usually should be a good thing but the crab dip wasnt all that. And my pasta i got tasted like noodles with gravy. I was disappointed. read more

We recently visited on a Saturday early evening not crowded. My husband and I were disappointed by the new menu. Very minimal selections for appetizers and the rest of the options were disappointing as well not much to chose from. The prices have increased but now the options have decreased. Not sure we will return. read more

Love the food! Service is great! Great place to stop after getting off the boat ambiance is chill

We had such a nice experience at MacGregor's. We happened to go on a Wednesday when the crab cakes were on special so we tried them and they were delicious! The appetizer we had was the pretzel with imperial crab topping. That was great too! The service was great thanks to our server, Kelly. I will go back whenever I'm in Havre de Grace. read more

Asked for a table for 2, got a wobbly table for four. Ran out of the spring roll appetizer by 6:00pm, then my 2nd choice, and then had to settle for mussels. Some of the mussels didn't open and should never have been served. Had to get up and look for the waitress. Got 3 little rolls in an oversized basket. Waited over an hour for the main course. Mashed potatoes were cold. Basically the entire experience was a disaster. read more

Love it here! From Anniversary Dinners to dinner with our (young) children, we're never disappointed. read more

This past Saturday my fiancé and I finally had a chance to try this place out. We went there for lunch. I'm guessing they don't truly practice social distancing anymore. Some tables are X'd out, but everyone at the bar squeezed in next to each other as the hostess kept bringing them in. I decided to try their cream of crab soup, AWFUL! It was runny and greasy, guess it was butter that made it greasy on the top? Never had cream of crab that tasted that bad. I don't know why I then decided to try the crab cake sandwich, but that was full of filler and my fiancé tried the crabby patty, he ordered his burger, medium well. It was well done and very greasy and dry. We didn't even eat half of our lunch. I returned the soup, but I didn't want them thinking we were there to get a free meal so I paid $40 to eat some French fries, they were the only thing that tasted good. I was so mad at myself for detouring here instead of going to Coakley's right across the street. I tipped our waiter, as he was the only running the bar and serving the tables and I know it wasn't his fault. He did his best by being the only one out there and had no bad attitude or complaint about being the only one working. read more

Shrimp & Crab Remick was the worst meal I ever had at a restaurant. I have to say stick to the burgers and fries. Please take this off the menu. read more

A wonderful home town spot for fabulous drinks, delicious food, and great entertainment!Stephanie, the co-owner of the restaurant, is amazing!! Every time I come home for a visit, I make sure to stop by MacGregor's. read more

We've been coming here for years. Valentine's; Date nights; Sunday brunches; my wife's 40th birthday party with 50+ people; Easter; (previous) Mother's Day, and now this past Mother's Day, (2023). Rest assured; this was the last time that we will step foot in this restaurant. From the time our party of 12 sat down until the time the food arrived was 1 hour and 10 minutes and we ordered pretty quickly. This was by no means the waiter's fault. He kept apologizing for how long the food was taking and kept coming back with drink and bread refills. I am not saying this to be mean or for a nasty comeback, I'm being truthful. I eat anything. I must say that my order, (Rock Fish (Lafayette)), was the worst tasting of anything that I EVER ordered. I didn't even finish the meal. It's pretty sad when your side dishes taste better than the main course. Once again, this was our last time to visit MacGregor's. Do yourself a favor and visit the restaurant down below them. Much better service and food. read more

The inside of this place is incredibly dated and in need of updating which I think can get you off to a bad start. The service was very good though and the people working here are quite attentive. Looking over the menu the prices are pretty high too. As far as drinks the beer selection is very limited so if you're looking for something craft you most likely won't find it here. The other drinks they have seem to be just basic drinks nothing to adventurous. The food is good if you're just getting a burger or basic bar food. I had the crab cake which was very small and also seemed like it had a lot of filler and no lump meat. read more

See all

Was told the crab cake are the best but based on the price paid was very disappointed. Have had better options. Vegetable sides also did not taste right. I got the food to go so did not taste at the restaurant. read more

Dont bother coming here. Wanted a fun brunch place on the water. ONLINE MENU literally said they have eggs benedict. GREAT! Got there, they have a mcskillet (scrambled eggs, cheese and hollandaise sauce on an English muffin) asked for one minus the scrambled eggs and cheese. They also have "one egg your way" asked for a poached egg (was going to put it together myself) Sure no problem. She then comes back and says they wont make poached eggs (so its your way as long as the kitchen feels like making it) Fine, just give me the one and a fried egg. Please make sure the english muffin is cooked (over cooked I said, even burn it a little) it came out not cooked at all. Like they took it out of the bag and sloped the food on it. So needless to say, food was awful. Server was OK- obviously doesnt go to bat for her customers. Wont be back. None of the food anyone got was very good. And they were not busy at all (maybe 6 tables in the entire place) so toasting an english muffin really should not have been an issue. So many other amazing restaurants downtown! Hit one of those up. read more

Everything here was excellent from my cream of crab soup to my crab imperial stuffed flounder. Definitely was a nice treat in my visit home. Would definitely visit again. A new found treasure read more

MacGregor's - Crab imperial stuffed flounder! - Seafood Near Me - Havre De Grace, Maryland

Today was my first visit and it was pretty good. I follow a high protein diet and the crab omelette was tasty and perfect for my diet. My husband had cream of crab and said there were large chunks of meat, but it had a little too much wine in it. My mom was hugely disappointed with her crabcake. It was not jumbo lump, but backfin. The French fries were frivolous. Service was courteous. On Sunday there is a tasty brunch menu. While we didn't partake, there is also make your own Bloody Mary bar. I've never seen that before. I would come back for another omelette! read more

Before we were seated I told my wife this is a place we need to come back to. They delivered on everything they said. The place is simple and unpretensiuos. Affordable and friendly. If I had guests from out of town who I wanted to impress, this is where I'd bring them. I'm waiting to get hungry again so I can come back. read more

We were on weekend holiday , Place was highly recommended... and we were highly DISAPPOINTED Crab Cake Platters (we ordered 2) was so dry and hardly any crab meat in there ... the purpose of our trip was to eat crabs !!! But the service was very good ! read more

Nice atmosphere, ok service and good food. Servers need to be a little more professional. Some had torn shorts and oversized button down shirt. Somewhat pricey and portions were acceptable. Might go back. read more

The food is delicious and the restaurant is charming. Great ambiance. A gem in Havre de Grace

We came here on a recommendation of locals after a morning race. We wanted the water view on a gorgeous April morning. We were thrilled to find a great brunch menu--very reasonable ($10-12) and included: fruit, muffins, entree, toast and home fries. Oh, also unlimited champagne, too! My friend had the Belgium waffles--delicious and I had the vegetable omelet--onion, peppers, spinach. Both were excellent! There was butter on toast and waffles, lots--might ask to have them dry next time or butter on the side. The water views were an added bonus. The owner was very welcoming--he gave us the history of the restaurant--it used to be a bank. Also open 365 days of the year! Good to know. Also gave us a slew of flyers for several upcoming events... His son is also in the business and was running the bar. We enjoyed getting a flavor of Havre de Grace-will definitely return again! read more

This place is consistently bad. They no longer have the option to leave a review on their Facebook page, probably for good reason on their behalf. Much like their neighbor restaurant, they think because they have a "Water view" they can feed you slop with even sloppier service. Avoid this establishments at all costs! it's dark, dank, mediocre and again the service is deplorable. read more

I wish they had more gluten free options, like sweet potato fries instead of just the beer battered fries. Not a lot of crab in the crab quiche. Great location near the Conchord Point lighthouse and great view of the bay! read more

Went for Sunday brunch, I had the crepes, she had quiche. Both dishes underwhelming, $40 for 2, no alcohol. Usually a great place to eat, but not this time. Way to costly for what we Today was the last time. Been coming here for decades, especially in boating season. Went for a late lunch. Fair amount of people there. Went out to the deck. Had trouble finding a table because they were mostly covered with dirty dishes. During our 90 minutes there no tables were cleared. We had a grilled cheese, French dip, 1 Sam Adams, 1 club soda, 1 coffee. $50 with tip for 2! Food was only fair as it has been lately. Food was slow to come out. May be ok to stop by for a few drinks, but that's about it. read more

$95 for a cold steak and crab cakes that were mostly filler! I don't eat mashed potatoes and asked for a baked potato ( which they didn't have), so I requested French fries and they gave me fries that had been cooked twice and were hard as a rock! That's all I got for my $29.99! A cold steak and terrible fries! No bread, salad, or vegetable, $29.99!!!! My husband had the crab cakes and they were mostly filler. We went there for the Chicken Baltimore but they don't have that anymore. Our appetizer was mussels in garlic wine sauce and while I could taste the wine, I could not taste garlic. I told our waiter to tell the cook not to be afraid of the garlic. The only good thing about our experience was our waiter! He was great! Did I mention that they weren't busy when we arrived at 5:45 so that wasn't an excuse! read more

Our meal was fantastic! Being vegan, we are very limited on places to eat. The chef made us a special vegan pasta dish ( all you have to do is ask!) and it was delicious. Service was good, especially considering how short staffed restaurants are right now. We will definitely be back, especially if you keep adding more vegan options! :) read more

Came here last weekend on my way home to Philly. This was not our first choice but the tidewater grille had a 45-minute wait and MacGregor's had none. However, it ended up being quite the same since we waited 45 minutes for our food. We were greeted promptly with water and our order was taken quickly but it went downhill from there. I ordered a Caesar Salad to start and my boyfriend a soup.... took 20 minutes. All you have to do is pour the soup it takes 1 minute... I have been a server before. Then, our entrees took another 25 minutes on top of that and I ordered a sandwich and he ordered wings. This is just unacceptable. I understand you may be short-staffed but if you do not have enough staff do not seat people! I would rather be told that there is a wait than not and have to be stuck in the restaurant waiting for the food that I had ordered. The sandwich was good for a sandwich and the wings were ok. Our server never asked how our food was and someone else had to bring the check for us. If you're looking to spend your entire day at a restaurant, I would recommend this place, but if you are trying to have a productive day, go somewhere else. read more

Tried to eat here but left. Walked in with our two grandkids and seemed like air conditioning was off. It was on a week day around noon. After being seated they never brought a booster seat we asked hostess for and ignored us as 4 other groups were seated. Never offered drinks or anything. After seeing others acknowledged by staff we left. read more

Skip it. Fair meal that was 30% more than it needed to be. I am OK paying for the river view but screwed up orders and overpriced dishes diminish that entire experience. read more
