We ordered a ceaser salad; they brought out a chopped salad. She then forgot about us. None of the food came out at the same time. (There were four of us.) She never came back and asked if we wanted another drink. Servers and bartenders were too busy talking and checking their phones to check on customers. This was early evening and the place was not very busy yet.

The ribs were delicious and perfectly cooked, the cole slaw was amazing, the pierogies were really tasty and flavorful, and the wings were seriously good too. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. You can really feel that this is a family-owned, down-to-earth restaurant that takes pride in their food and their customers. We'll definitely be back. Such a great spot in Solomons!

The Brussels sprout with hoisin sauce wasn't the best combination. It was too salty and I already have asked for less sauce. The meat lovers pizza crust was too soft. Decent beer selection.

Atomic Seafood & Bar -- Lusby, MD…read more If you're in Lusby, put Atomic Seafood & Bar on your list! I had the Buffalo Chicken Pizza and WOW! The crust was crispy, fresh, and made from scratch, and every bite was packed with flavor. Definitely a 10/10 for me! And don't leave without grabbing a crush from the bar! It was the perfect pairing with the pizza. Overall, great food, good vibes, and definitely a spot I'd visit again!

This place is legitimately good.. it's a hidden gem where the cooks, or may I say chefs, in the…read morekitchen know what they are doing.. the waitress we had was really kind and attentive. We got there at 9:30 and the kitchen was closing at 10:00.. we had the smash burger, the atomic smash burger, clam strips, and chicken wings.. all the fried foods were amazing, including the fries that come with the clam strips. Right away, I could tell they were using fresh frying oil and everything was freshly fried.. most places double fry precooked stuff and use old oil.. to my surprise, everything was freshly made! Smash burger, they have smash burger! What? The fact that they served their signature Atomic smash burger with jalapeño, cheese, an onion ring, pulled pork or brisket, bacon, plus coleslaw?? This was amazing! The standard smash burger was just burger patties and cheese.. it was also really good. Chicken wings were like Korean fried chicken level good wings. I was a bit surprised how plump and juicy they were with really good sauce.. the waitress recommended Old Bay honey and lemon pepper, a half-and-half order that was amazing.. my daughter substituted her smash burger fries with green string beans.. wow, that was really amazing.. not some canned, mushy string beans, but rather really fresh, almost like they picked them from a local farm--buttered, salted, then fire-roasted.. are you kidding me? I wasn't even that hungry and took half of my burger home, munched it up the day after, and it was like eating an upgraded White Castle burger! Delicious.. anyway, this place is a real hidden gem.. I've had better food and service here compared to well-known restaurants across Los Angeles, New York, Baltimore, etc.... Go check them out!

Including The Naughty Gull, Solomon's Pier, Harbor Lights and The Lighthouse. We have had a lot of "good" and "not so good" meals over the years.

We had a nice lunch at the Island Hideaway on Solomons Island. It was busy in there even for a…read morelater lunch. Our server was very friendly and attentive and refilled our drinks often. We split the crab chowder, which was very tasty! And then I had a fried haddock sandwich with a side caesar salad. I really liked my sandwich. It was perfectly battered and fried. My husband had the crab cake sandwich and a side of the scratch corn. The crabcake was good, but the scratch corn was too greasy for our taste. Overall, the food was really good, and the water view is really nice. Great place for a meal! Side note: their cakes looked incredible, but we didn't try them this time. I would definitely consider going back for a slice of cake.

They roast their own coffee! Wow! Yum!…read more On a weekend morning (Jun 2026), we were in the vicinity of Solomons MD, and friends said that Bugeye Grill roasts their own coffee. That got our attention! We stopped in at this bright clean restaurant on a late weekend morning, (weekdays they open at 5pm). The French-press coffee was a tasty fragrant medium Brazilian blend. The flavor was well balanced, and it was a good smooth non-acidic coffee We found it to be a creamier fragrant brew, not a darker roasty flavor. It had a lightly malty sweetness and nuttiness, characteristic of its blend of Brazilian arabica, robusta, and hybrid beans. They have different blends from time to time. They really are a full-menu restaurant terrific views of Back Creek, and a midscale-classy vibe. They focus on seafood and steaks and lobster! We saw sandwiches around $20. This time, we came for the coffee. It was luscious!

First timers on Solomon and at Bugeye Grill. I will admit that we stopped by this restaurant…read morebecause it was one of the first ones that had outdoor seating (we were visiting with a dog). The restaurant had a nice variety of dishes and specialty cocktails...I think that I was more interested in the latter. ;) Since I have not visited Solomons, MD before, I cannot comment if the prices are comparable to other places in the area. However, most of the entrees were in the $25 and up range. I thought my fish and chips (I forget the actual name of the dish) were fine, and my spouse really enjoyed the crab cake sandwich. Although I thought the portion sizes for the sandwiches and fries were fine, the serving size of the mussels seemed a bit small. However, this could have been an optical illusion because the serving bowl for the mussels was HUGE, so the amount of mussels could have appeared to be smaller than what it was. I thought the outdoor patio was great especially with a view of the water and folks going about their business. However, some may not like the setup because you are right on the main street, which can be a bit noisy especially if a lot of bikers are cruising up and down the strip. Parking was a bit of a struggle (not the fault of the restaurant). During our visit, all of the public parking lots were full. However, we visited on Mother's Day weekend so maybe there were more folks (including us ) in the area than normal. I'll admit that since this was my first time visiting the area that I'm not too familiar about the ebb and flow of parking. Overall, our server (who reminded me a bit of a young Jodie Foster) was amazing. One thing that I really appreciated was her telling us about a potential delay for the food due to a large party. Although no one wants to hear that after ordering food, I think it's nice and considerate when a server provides a heads-up so diners can adjust accordingly.

This was my first time visiting Solomons Island, and I'm so glad I chose The Lighthouse Restaurant!…read moreI was looking for fresh seafood with a nice waterfront view, and this restaurant did not disappoint. There is parking conveniently located near the restaurant, so you don't have to worry about finding street parking. The restaurant was very clean and offered indoor and outdoor seating, along with an indoor bar area. There is also an ATM on-site. I looked at the menu ahead of time and already knew I wanted the Ultimate Seafood Platter, mainly because it included a crab cake. We also ordered oysters as an appetizer, and they were absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. Hands down, this was some of the best seafood I've had from a restaurant in a long time. The scallops were plump and juicy, and the fish portion was very generous. I'm usually nervous when a crab cake is included as part of a platter because I expect something small or previously frozen.That was definitely not the case here. The crab cake was a great size and tasted fresh. They offer a traditional version and an "angry" version. I ordered the angry crab cake, and it was seasoned to perfection. The other person with me ordered the seafood pasta, and it was just as impressive. The Alfredo sauce was delicious, with plump scallops, juicy shrimp, and a generous portion of pasta. It also came with amazing rustic, buttery toasted bread. The waitstaff was great, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the waterfront view made the experience even better. If you're looking for fresh, delicious seafood with a beautiful view in Solomons Island, I highly, highly recommend The Lighthouse Restaurant!

Every time I go here it's just about empty, which is fine with me. I get great service and always get to pick a table that I prefer. It's located across the parking lot from the Ruddy duck, so even though there may be a lot of cars in the parking lot there probably won't be many diners inside the Hilton. They have a good brunch on weekends, and Tuesday is taco night. All you can eat tacos for $7, or if you prefer $0.75 a piece. Drinks are also extremely reasonable.
