We ordered: +a cup of Cream of Crab - this was thick, creamy, and pretty delicious! +the Crab Dip - served with toasted focaccia; could have used freshly-grated cheese; not much crab, and there was no flavor; the focaccia was also chewy and not well-toasted +the Crab Cakes - choice of having them broiled or friend, and we went for the broiled; not too much filler, but these just were not fresh and had no seasoning, whatsoever; the hot sauce didn't help, but their house tartar sauce was pretty good +Shrimp Scampi - with butterflied shrimp on a bed of linguini, dressed in a garlic sauce; shrimp were overcooked and rubbery, and was not fresh; the sauce was way too light and didn't taste like garlic sauce +Stuffed Shrimp - shrimp topped with crab imperial; these were just 'okay', but could have been served piping hot +coleslaw - had a nice tang +potato salad - creamy and tasty +onion rings - large and crispy; slightly overcooked +sweet potato fries - these were yummy! +sweet tea - nice and refreshing The basket of homemade cornbread was tasty, and the hot dinner rolls were so soft and fluffy! Service was friendly and attentive. The place is a bit outdated, and you can tell many locals come here. There is a little seafood counter area that you could purchase fresh seafood and condiments; they also have various weekend events, such as AYCE buffets. No reservations was necessary, as we did a walk-in and were seated immediately. Plenty of parking in their large lot. +homemade cornbread and dinner rolls +Cream of Crab soup +sweet tea +friendly service +ample parking

We wanted to try a new place and found Duck House while riding around the marina. It's an…read moreinteresting area. Located more in a commercial area with a few businesses as well. The restaurant is clean and set up well. Highlights is the outdoor seating. On a col day doors are slightly open and depending on your seat beautiful to ok views of the water. Two outdoor seating options which is nice. Service was ok and server was attentive. Felt like overwhelmed but there wasn't a large crowd. Not much personal interaction beyond taking our order and checking in. We ordered fried calamari to start. Came out quickly and hot. I like tentacles but my wife isn't a fan and there a lot of them. I had halibut tacos blackened which were delicious. The odd thing was crumbled potato chips for texture which was a disappointment. I'd prefer nothing to chips which threw it off. My wife a crave cakes and they were very good. Overall a nice experience but felt like a going through the motions for staff. We'd visit again if in the area.

BLUF: Feels a bit off the beaten path and has great views and good food at reasonable prices…read more Dock House Restaurant is great! I've visited twice recently and I really enjoyed the scenic views and extensive menu. Both times I have sat outside which was in the shade and comfortable, even on the hottest days of the season. Watching the boat traffic come in go - everything from kayakers to yachters makes for an entertaining meal. Speaking of meals, I've now tried a handful or so items on the menu. Favorites so far are the Flounder Sandwich and potato skins topped with crab dip. The burger was good too. The halibut tacos and crab bruschetta are a pass for me. Service has been great at the Dock House. The servers have to walk fairly far from the kitchen to the dockside tables and they maintain great service. Kudos to them. Speaking of dock, there is space to dock boats parallel to the bulkhead. Several small to mid-size boats were there both times I visited. I looked to see if there was a sign about the depth or rules for docking there and I didn't see anything. What I have observed is there isn't a dock hand and it's not protected so it can get a little bit of chop. A few boaters were just hanging out on their boat listening to the live music so they didn't seem to mind getting jostled when larger traffic comes through the channel. For those with land yachts or a car, there is plenty of parking and it's easy to get here right off of US-50, assuming there isn't "beach traffic." Dock House is located on the back side of the Boatel that is visible from US-50. Dock House is absolutely one of my new favorite restaurants in the Annapolis area. I am looking forward to many return trips to Kent Island to continue working my way through the menu.

We were driving through St. Michaels and decided to stop at Harrison's because of the beautiful…read morewaterfront view. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointing experience. The view is definitely the best thing about this restaurant, but that's where the positives end. I ordered the seafood stew, and it was unbelievably oily--so much so that I couldn't finish it. The seafood soup tasted like something that came straight out of a can. Ironically, the Philly cheesesteak sandwich was the cheapest item we ordered, yet it ended up being the best dish on the table. The service was also very disappointing. There were hardly any other customers around, yet our server was extremely slow and rarely checked on us. Even when we were clearly trying to get the check, we waited forever. Meanwhile, we could hear staff laughing and chatting in the kitchen, but no one seemed interested in helping customers. To make matters worse, there were flies everywhere throughout the restaurant, and no one appeared to be doing anything about it. It made the dining experience even less enjoyable. Overall, the waterfront setting is beautiful, but the food quality, service, and cleanliness issues outweighed the view. We won't be returning and would not recommend it based on our experience.

Unbelievable litte gem!…read more Hubby and I took a shakedown trip in our camper and as luck would have it, it would rain the first day. We knew this in advance (thank you weatherman!) so we decided that we would look for a place to have dinner on the shore. I checked what was close to Martinak State Park and one of the places that sounded good to my husband was the Preston Roadhouse Bar and Grill, so we decided to give it a whirl. We love small business and try to support them whenever we can. It's a cute little store front in the sleepy little town of Preston. You can appreciate these calm little places when you have to hustle and bustle through Baltimore daily. I was a little worried that we weren't *dressed* (hey, we were camping!), but casual works here for sure. We sort of took a seat because they seemed busy and we were not quite sure what to do, but no worries, it was fine....I would wait for a server to come over though. We were given menus and pretty much a few minutes later, our server Luke came over to take our drink orders which we promptly gave him. Upon bringing back the menus, he told us about all of their specials that evening. I decided to go for one of them which was the scallops and Parmesan risotto. My husband selected the shrimp and grits which was also on my radar. I figured that I could have some of his. As an appetizer, we ordered the crispy brussel sprouts. Our drinks arrived and a few minutes later, we were dining on these wonderful brussel sprouts! They were fried perfectly and had a nice topping to include cranberry, maple bacon and a balsamic glaze which balanced them out perfectly! Right on cue, our dinners arrived. Everything was good perfectly. The scallops were a nice size and the risotto was delicious. I really did love my husband's dish of shrimp and grits. I would have been just as happy with that one too. The grits were cheesy, the shrimps were a beautiful size and it had a smattering of pork barbecue in the middle of the grits. Very tasty and everything was served at the right temperature. We had no room for dessert....we couldn't finish our dinners. The dessert menu and the desserts brought out looked scrumptious though, so we would definitely go for it! Luke was an amazing server....he gave us his suggestions when we asked, something that I totally appreciate, because not only do they know what has been going out, but with many of the servers we know, they will tell us exactly what they enjoy....and the majority of the time (barring actual fish speaking for me as I don't care for it) they are right on! If you are just on a ride to the shore or if you live in the area, I would give them a try....very friendly little place!
