After spending the afternoon wandering through the shops in St. Michaels on my first-ever visit to…read moretown, I found myself craving one thing for dinner. A really good burger. Actually...a really good burger with crab dip on it. Naturally, I started searching for somewhere that could satisfy both cravings at once and landed on Carpenter Street Saloon, a laid-back local watering hole that's been serving up food, drinks and good times in the heart of St. Michaels for decades. Their menu had both burgers and crab dip, but not together. Challenge accepted! I arrived around 4:30pm on a Friday during Fourth of July weekend and somehow managed to snag the very last parking spot in their small lot. Even better, as I walked inside, a booth just inside the front door opened up. The adventure gods were clearly looking out for me! The atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for. Folks were gathered around the bar enjoying drinks, conversations filled the room and absolutely nobody cared that I had wandered in by myself for dinner. Sometimes that's exactly the kind of place you need after a long day of adventuring. I studied the menu for approximately three seconds before asking my waitress what I assumed would be a ridiculous question. "Could I get a burger...with crab dip on it?" Without missing a beat, she smiled and said, "Absolutely! We actually used to have that on the menu, but nobody ordered it." I couldn't stop grinning! "Well," I replied, "I'm somebody...and I want it for dinner tonight!" One more vacation victory! For $16.00, my custom Bay Burger arrived piled high with rich, creamy crab dip and melted cheese dripping over the thick burger patty exactly as I'd imagined it. It was everything I'd hoped it would be! Juicy burger. Creamy crab dip. Gooey cheese. The combination just...worked! In fact...it worked so well that I briefly considered ordering another one before remembering I still had dessert plans later that evening. (Responsible Adult Alexis eventually won that internal debate.) I chose the coleslaw as my side, and while the flavor was really good, it was a little drier than I personally prefer. That's entirely a preference thing, though. If you're someone who likes a less creamy coleslaw, this one will probably be right up your alley. My Diet Pepsi was $4.00, bringing my total to just $21.20 before tip. Honestly, for a custom burger loaded with crab dip in the middle of one of Maryland's busiest holiday weekends, I thought that was an excellent value. Carpenter Street Saloon isn't trying to be fancy. It's comfortable. It's welcoming. It's the kind of neighborhood bar where locals and visitors alike can settle in, enjoy a great meal and relax for a while. If you're visiting St. Michaels and find yourself craving a burger, do yourself a favor...ask them to bring back the crab dip burger. Apparently nobody orders it. Except me. And now hopefully you!

Good selection of drafts, but I'll just stick with my Miller Lite. no cards accepted, but a little ATM inside if you must. I just carry cash.

How lucky we pulled up at 2:45 and were able to dock for free. Lucky because we were told there would be a $10 cover after 3 PM. For 6 of us that was going to be pricey. We were able to get a patio table by the water and had exceptional service by Catherine. The shrimp tacos and margaritas were delicious, as was the crab dip and nachos. Intrigued by the cover charge and enormous presence of roided security guards in tight t-shirts, we asked what in the world was going on. Well, it just happened to be their busiest day of the year: The Bikini Contest Finals, starting at 5:00 PM. Sadly for us (especially the guys), we would have to depart for our long boat ride back to Chestertown, meaning we were going to miss the bikini contest. They were not kidding about it being the biggest event of the year! As we were leaving the area, there were tons of motorboats lined up to enter the marina. Wow! What a fun day, on the water in excellent weather, with great service and friendly customers. A cool vibe was evident.

This is a no frills bar with simple offerings and simple decor/furnishings. There is a U shaped bar in the front, served by a single bartender, with 15-20 bar stools around it - plenty of seating options at the bar. Throughout the rest of the space are low top tables to sit 4-6 people. There's also a pool table in the middle of the indoor space which was being used throughout most of the night. The real draw is the outdoor scene - Duke's sits right on beautiful dock on the water. They have several picnic tables and outdoor chairs set up for guests to relax in. All the seats face the water, giving a great view of the water and beach area. Definitely plan your trip around sunset, the views in the evening are priceless. The drinks are solid, low prices for the standard can and bottle options. We got a couple of rails - they were exactly what we expected. I do wish they had some food options or a small menu; they only had bags of chips to offer for a few bucks each. Fortunately, we had eaten earlier in the evening so we weren't too hungry, but we would've been in a tough spot if we were counting on a meal. Got to enjoy a nice dive bar find - highly recommend visiting for the view!

Our server was great and checked on us continuously and of course looking at the boats and the condos on the water made us daydream :) If I ever want to drive a little further, The Jetty is the place!

In fact, the dining areas for the restaurant were a lot larger than what I expected. The restaurant has a pretty extensive menu, so everyone should be able to find something that they'll like.

Overall, service was great in that our waitress made some great recommendations and check in on us a few times during our meal. The waitress did not go wrong in recommending the shrimp tacos. I was hoping for three tacos instead of two, but the portion size of the tacos were packed so I guess two tacos are fine.
