    The spring rolls arrived busted open and included shrimp (which we didn't order) - when we called politely they hung up on us.
    N. B.

    After many positive visits, tonight's experience was comically horrific. My wife and daughter ordered takeout, and when they arrived home, the order was burned , incorrect (we did not order shrimp), improperly prepared (rolls bursting open; too few dumplings, etc.), and inedible. When my wife called - friendly and confused - she was hung up on. When I called, the man who answered the phone seemed like a deer caught in the headlights - unable even to give his name. He hung up and blocked my number - I went straight to voicemail for the rest of the night. Maybe this is the JV team working while the real team is on vacation? We've really enjoyed this place for a long time and it is unfortunate that tonight's experience was so ridiculous. Hopefully they will refund our $50. Ugh.

    This is # 25 Vermicelli House Special.  Delish.

    Very fresh ingredients! Tasty! Highly recommend! Always great service. Very Clean.

    The food is good, but it's overpriced. The service was decent, and it wasn't too busy on the weekend. It was pretty quiet.

    This is the only Pho restaurant in all of Calvert County. I'm not an expert on Pho (maybe 10 times). I've had good Pho and this Pho was alright. When I visited it I had the "Pho Deluxe". This gave you the option to select 3 meats. I chose the brisket, steak, and meatballs. Ok so I have never had beef meatballs in Pho. Usually my safe choice is chicken or shrimp. They offer shrimp rolls but shrimp was not an option for a meat in the pho. . Shrimp in pho is great. When I get my bowl of pho I tried the meatball immediately. Not my favorite. I was expecting an Italian style meatball. What I got was quite different. Very rubbery. I tried to differentiate between what was brisket and what was steak but I couldn't find the difference or it was so slight I couldn't tell. My first few bites of the steak/brisket was a bit gamy tasting but after eating it a bit, the gaminess disappeared and was quite good. It puzzled me. All that being said, the noodles were really good as was the broth. I added some Thai basil leaves and bean sprouts along with some of the sriracha and ate it all (except the meatballs).

    Such a clean restaurant! Spotless, every time I come

    Clean, cute and YUMMY! I absolutely adore eating here. The pho is on point. I have loved pho for years and have had it all over the country and am impressed. The recipe here is spot on. Portions are great. I highly recommend the lemongrass tofu

    I have lived around the corner from this gem for two years and never knew it. The place is chill and relaxed, and the food is delicious and light. Now one of my go-to for a quick light meal.

    The customer service was okay; there weren't many customers, so the food came out fairly quickly. I started with the shrimp spring rolls and felt they were missing something, perhaps mint or basil. Next, I ordered the Pho Special Combo, and while the broth didn't have a bad flavor, I felt it was missing something and wasn't as rich as I like.

    We reserved a table for 2 at 6:30 on a Wednesday and got seated right away. The dining room we were…read morein was really packed but started clearing out as the night went on. We ordered the crab pot pie, heritage burger, risotto balls and a small portion of the short ribs. Pot pie crust was great but a bit on the salty side. The burger was cooked well and beef tasted very fresh. Our favorite was the risotto balls and short ribs. The risotto was crispy, a bit cheesy and paired with a really solid marinara sauce. The short ribs were cooked perfectly, melted in the mouth and paired with mashed potatoes. Service was a bit slow since they were really busy but the waiter apologized for the wait and checked in several times throughout the night. Overall a really great dinner spot that I would recommend!

Oue server Kitty was extremely professional and customer service savvy, and Dave, one of the co-owners came out to greet us on our 31st anniversary. High class joint in the best sense of the word!

    My wife and I stopped in at Ray's Pier for dinner. It wasn't very busy, so we sat at a table…read moreoverlooking the river and the Benedict Bridge. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. My wife ordered the fried shrimp basket, and I had the soft-shell crab dinner. We also ordered a cup of cream of crab soup. The soup looked great when it came out, with a good amount of crab meat on top, and it was very good. I would definitely order it again. Our dinners looked excellent when they arrived. I was disappointed, though, that the fried shrimp were frozen, breaded shrimp. I expected fresh, battered and fried shrimp, especially at a seafood restaurant. My soft-shell crabs, on the other hand, were lightly battered and fried and were excellent. The homemade potato salad was also one of the best I've ever had. They also had homemade bread pudding for dessert, which was a nice touch. Overall, we were a little disappointed with the shrimp, but there were definitely some things we really enjoyed. The restaurant itself is an older place and could use a little cleaning and updating. I think if they brought in some fresh seafood dishes and new specials, while keeping the homemade sides they already offer, this place could really do some business. I remember growing up when the restaurants here in Benedict were packed all the time and known for excellent food. I'd love to see Ray's Pier bring some of that excitement back. Fresh seafood, some new specials, and getting the word out could really make a difference.
