Maryland Omelet** ***
Tonya H.

Miss Shirley's never disappoint. The food is always consistent and good. They have great portion sizes and the prices are reasonable. I have always had great customer service. It's a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Met up with a friend for brunch at Miss Shirley's because she was craving sweet but I was craving savory! This menu did not disappoint. There are traditional brunch items and also some over the top items Miss Shirley's is known for. Both were delicious! I loved their seasonal items too for the colder months. I ordered a Bloody Mary which was delicious! (Forgot to take a picture!) and my friend ordered a seasonal drink. The service was amazing! Seating is comfortable! And parking was easy. Lots of parking garages in the area! Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

Crab cake sandwich with grits
Tammi W.

Stopped here as it was featured on DDD which means Guy Fieri ate here. I had a crab cake sandwich which was pricy but so worth it. Service was amazing and I even watched the server try and help a not very English speaking customer who was not satisfied with her order.

Chicken Sausage

Miss Shirley's was a staple for brunch I saw so we made sure to try to stop in on our way out of town (with a 4-hour drive ahead of us I wanted to carb load). We easily found seating at around 9:45 on a Saturday and did not have to wait. There was a wait by 11am when we left. Our server was very friendly and attentive so we had no issues there. My husband chose a side of chicken sausage and the peach and cheese fresh warm biscuits with jam so he could make his own breakfast sandwiches. I went with a short stack (2) of fluffy specialists pancakes and chose the blueberry white chocolate chip ones. SO good! It said on the menu they were recommended as some of the best in the country from Food network and I can see why. Perfectly fluffy and filling. They had a great breakfast menu - not a lot of specialty coffee drinks though - and plenty of eggs and omelette choices as well as sandwiches and wraps. They have a rewards program you can join if you plan to come often. Parking was street or nearby public lots and it was a easy walk from one of the downtown hotels (10 minutes or so). They had about 5-6 patio tables outside for people watching in nice weather.

Seasonal Fruit Medley** ***

So fun to walk into Miss Shirley's Cafe with all the memorabilia on the walls. We went for breakfast on a week day morning. The server was very friendly and patiently explained the menu. The Maryland Omelette contained jumbo lump crab meat, cheddar cheese, and tomato with Old Bay seasoning. I was nervous ordering seafood in an omelette but it turned out to be a great decision. So yummy! It also came with hash browns and a pimento cheese biscuit, both were good. We also tried the strawberry buttermilk pancakes. They came out undercooked in the center but our server replaced with a new plate. The side of fruit was fresh and inviting. We also ordered a side of scrambled eggs. We asked for them to be well done and were happy to see that they were. Overall, a good experience and fun to try a new restaurant!

Fresh Garden Omelet

You can never go wrong with Miss Shirley's! I came here for Easter brunch with the family, and it was our first time coming to the Annapolis location. We ordered some of our brunch favorites, such as the chicken and waffles, hot chicken deviled eggs (which are to die for!!), and an omelette. It was our first time getting the banana bread French toast, which could possibly be a seasonal menu item, and it was truly satisfying and tasty. I can't say I will order it again, only because I prefer their regular French toast. Surprisingly, it wasn't as busy as we thought since it was Easter Sunday. Our food came out pretty quickly and our waiter was very attentive. The inner harbor location is always so busy, so I'll probably come to this location more often.

Chicken 'n Cheddar Green Onion Waffles
Pearly K.

So good! Great service, food is always amazing (the Chicken n' Cheddar Green Onion Waffles are drool-worthy) and the ambiance is casual. Must try!

I always enjoy brunch at Miss Shirley's Cafe. Service and food is excellent. My go to fav is Get Your Grits On with grilled shrimp. This entree is served with fried green tomatoes and overall has lots of delicious flavor. There is street parking and garage parking. IMO it was somewhat challenging to figure out how to pay for the garage parking. Somehow I missed the information and got a ticket. So been on the lookout for the parking payment information.

Shrimp and grits, served all fancy like.
Bobby H.

Miss Shirley has that magic. The shrimp and grits, on top of fried green tomatoes, was amazing. Cured my common cold and made me two inches taller, it was that good. Not a bad bite was had. It's not inexpensive, but it IS top tier food that comes out surprisingly fast. It's 100% worth a little splurge at lunch.

Fried green tomato brkfst sand

I thought the food was a solid 4 but the hubs said his was a 5. Cute place on a beautiful day and we were having a late breakfast. Wanted to sit outside but the host said the patio had closed for seating. There were 2-3 tables sat after he told us that. Oh well I guess they've changed their minds. I had the fried green tomato breakfast sandwich and hubby had the chicken and waffles. Both hit the spot. Service was great we'll be back.

Hot Honey Fried Chicken Deviled Eggs
Alex F.

DEVILED EGGS!! I stopped by on a weekday and was seated right away since it wasn't too busy. The service was great- my server was attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. For my meal, I ordered the Hot Honey Fried Chicken Deviled Eggs, Cinnamon Danish Waffles, and some scrambled eggs. Now, I'm usually not a big fan of deviled eggs, but I had a good feeling about these- and I was absolutely right. Even if you don't typically like deviled eggs, you'll probably enjoy these. The crispy fried egg white takes away that usual bland taste, while the creamy yolk mixture, fried chicken, and drizzle of hot honey create a perfect bite- delicious whether eaten separately or all together. The Cinnamon Danish Waffles were packed with flavor, and honestly, who can complain about frosting? They were sweet, satisfying, and everything you'd want in a waffle. The scrambled eggs, on the other hand, were pretty standard- nothing particularly memorable. If you visit this spot, you absolutely have to try the Hot Honey Fried Chicken Deviled Eggs. They're a game-changer!

My husband and I went here for breakfast this morning. We were able to park in the neighborhood and parking garage and it was a very quick walk to the restaurant. We were seated pretty quickly. However, it was a bit of a wait before a waitress came to our table. She apologized and explained that we had been seated in a section where the waitress had not even arrived for work yet. Our coffee and waters were brought quickly. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles. He is a bit of a connoisseur for chicken and waffles, but prefers bone in chicken. He knew ahead of time that the chicken for this meal is a chicken breast. I ordered the banana bread French toast. As far as banana bread goes, it was fine. However, I was not convinced it had been battered and fried like typical French toast. Instead, it just tasted like an elevated banana bread with bananas and chocolate chips on top. It was good, but just not what I was expecting. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, and was not very crowded when we were there. However, I imagine as it gets later. It probably fills up quite a bit. If you're looking to try someplace new and are open to some unique menu items, you might get this restaurant a try. It's a little pricier than most breakfast spots, but it's nice for the occasional treat. If we go back, I will just know what to expect and will likely stick to pancakes.

Do they take reservations?

No they do not take reservations, however the wait was only 20 minutes on a Saturday morning at 10am. It's a large place and people seem to eat and run.

Does Miss Shirley's allow dogs in their outdoor seating?

At Preserve, consistency is not the point, evolution is. Each visit feels slightly different,…read moreshaped by a menu that shifts with the seasons and refuses to coast on familiarity. That restlessness works in its favor. The space is compact, almost disarming at first. Then it settles around you. There is a quiet intimacy to the room, the kind that feels less designed and more lived in. It leans closer to a welcoming home than a polished dining room, without losing its sense of purpose. The food carries that same balance. Thoughtful, seasonal, and just unpredictable enough to keep you paying attention. Cocktails follow suit, measured and deliberate, never an afterthought. For Annapolis, where good options are not exactly rare, this place still manages to separate itself. It belongs firmly in the top tier of the city's dining scene, and it earns that position every time it changes the menu and starts over again.

Located on Main Street with bar, inside/outside seating. Wonderful decor and a great drink menu…read more Food menu was great as well and not too overwhelming. This is a place that has lots of drinks and foods that have some unique and creative flavor profiles. We were greeted immediately and sat at bar. Server acknowledged us quickly and was very friendly. Checked on us throughout the time we were there. Ordered a tequila cocktail that was amazing. Highly recommend!!! So so good. Their cocktail menu has the spirit and then a description under of the drink. No actual names. Lots of interesting drinks. We grabbed a couple of apps. Got the pork bites and smoked fish dip. Both were tasty and had interesting flavors that worked. The portions were great. You can tell that great care and thought is put into to the menu. The burger and fries looked amazing - on special and lots of people around us were ordering it. Would have ordered that if we were eating a bigger meal. This is a gem of a place. Truly crafty food and drinks. Highly recommend trying them out. Would come back again.

My wife, my daughter and I went to Iron Rooster for my wife and I's anniversary, and I want to give…read morea special shout-out to Joshua our server. I had to go grab a backpack, and when I returned 10 minutes later she ranted about how attentive to the table he was! They were busy(Saturday before Easter), but that attention to detail shined through the whole meal. Food came out spectacular, he remembered everything we asked for and was exceptionally patient with our 1.5 year old. Joshua made the experience wonderful, and made our anniversary even better. Thank you!

I had a mixed experience overall…read more I ordered the chicken and waffles. The fried chicken had good seasoning and flavor, which I did enjoy. However, the chicken was breast meat and sliced thin, which made it come across as dry. I did tell the server I liked it and didn't go into much detail since she seemed very busy and I didn't want to add stress in the moment. Still, it's not something I would personally order again. The waffle situation was more frustrating. I initially received cornmeal waffles, but I had told my server ahead of time that I strongly avoid cornmeal. She said she would substitute them, so I was surprised when the plate came out with the original cornmeal waffles. I didn't realize at first and ended up taking a bite before noticing. I let the server know and she had the kitchen remake it. The replacement Belgian waffles were overcooked and dense, so they didn't really improve the experience. The butter though was genuinely delicious, just very rich and more of a holiday-style flavor than something I'd personally crave in warmer weather. I also had a basic cup of coffee made with Rise Up Coffee Roasters, which was $4.50. That felt overpriced for what it was. I could have walked right across the street and had a specialty coffee from the source for very little extra cost, which honestly would have been the better choice. Overall, the experience had some clear issues, especially with the waffle mix-up and consistency, but it wasn't completely disappointing. I just don't think I would personally order the same meal again.

This place is awesome. It's as local as it gets in terms of ownership, staff and customers. Great…read morebar, great food, great weekly specials, bartenders, servers, etc. A personal favorite of mine is their SUPER SALAD. It always has fresh seasonal toppings, add your protein of choice (fresh fish of the day?) and it is the best salad in town. It's excellent... ...wings are great also, always have good soups, daily specials, drinks, etc. they have a lot of outside dog-friendly seating as well. It should just become your regular stop year 'round.

ABOUT THE AMBIANCE…read more Love the consistent, lively vibe at this Eastport restaurant/bar - seven days a week, it is sure to be clamoring with locals who pull-up by kayak and dingy (a 100-yd walk for the neighborhood dock) or walk in from homes nearby. Davis' is both people and dog friendly, allowing both species to chat it up, socialize and refuel. The outside sports a dozen a so picnic-style tables and a few high tops that bleed into the street. Shade is omnipresent once seated and servers kindly offer up water for your four-legged friends. There's a cozy park with seating just across the street from the hostess stand for those eagerly awaiting a table, right by the community dock. The inside of Davis' Pub is distinctly "bar" - replete with TVs and high tops - though there's a surprisingly large area for table service beyond the often-crowded bar. Don't expect anything slick or shiny here -- a fresh coat of paint may be tough to find. This is an authentic, worn Eastport treasure -- some use it as their comfortable watering hole, others for a cozy meal and a large swath to gather with friends.
