Sunset Cove is a nice local restaurant in Baltimore County on the river. Very beach but low key and comfortable. It was a beautiful day to sit by the water outside. I order mini crab cakes and crab soup. Soup was very good and the right amount of Old Bay that left the spicy after taste. Crab canes were good but not great a little too much filler for my taste. Sitting in the bar area is good and bad as the service was uneven but overall we enjoyed the visit and will be back again. read more

Nice views of the river. This place is massive as well so chances are you'll be able to find somewhere to sit.

I came here the other night for dinner. I was told by a few people that it was a good spot to check out. They had a nice view, indoor and outdoor seating. You can tell it's a popular summer place. Looks like people can drive here by boat as well, since there is a dock. Also with a warning sign saying not to dive in for potential shock, yikes. It was a bit busy considering it was a Friday night, lots of waitstaff who were all very friendly. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure our drinks were filled up. The crushes were nice but did give me a hell of a headache. I ordered the shrimp tacos, they were really good (even having them as leftovers the next day). The fries were good as well. You do have to pay an extra $3 for fries. The burger was subpar. We have had better and have had worse. You had to pay extra for fries as well, the burgers come with chips. An FYI, they do charge 18% gratuity on your bill. read more

Came here with coworkers yesterday later in the evening and we loved it! We sat at the bar, right above the water and had a great view of the sunset. If you like bowley's on the bay then you will love this place too. It's a great place for drinks and casual dining. You can sit at tables the sand or walk on the dock. People parked their boats and came here to eat. Bathrooms were clean and their indoor seating has a nice balcony and large garage door windows they can open up. You can feel safe knowing there is armed security around too, and plenty of free parking. Loved it! read more

Came here with out of town guests hoping to show them a good Baltimore county time. Well, we got dinner and a show because there was a girl fight at the bar! The only thing this place has going for it is the location and ambiance. Food is very average and nothing to write home about. I had the rockfish wrap which was small and way too spicy for my taste. Took forever to get two drinks to our table. Probably 15 minutes or so. We also asked for appetizer plates which never came. Waters didn't get refilled. I don't think I would come back here for anything other than drinks at the bar maybe. I was pretty embarrassed to bring out of town friends here with how bad everything was. read more

Sunset Cove - Rockfish wrap- WAY too much spicy chipotle aioli - Tiki Bars Near Me - Middle River, Maryland

Great waterfront setting and a great place to chill at lunchtime. A friend and I converged on the Cove for lunch. And, it was my first visit. We sat at the bar by the water and ordered orange/ grapefruit crushes for each of us. My friend ordered the quesadilla and I ordered the Sunset Burger. Food came out quickly. That burger... where do I start? Huge patty. Bacon. Egg. Cheese. Aioli sauce. On a bun. Perfectly cooked and delicious. My friend enjoyed his enchilada. After finishing lunch and a second adult beverage, we moved on. Bar service was friendly and on point. I like this place and will try to make it back. Soon. read more

My husband and I stopped in yesterday for lunch. I had not been to Sunset Cove prior to that for several years! We arrived around noon and were able to get a table on the beach. Although it was pretty sunny out, the umbrellas provided great shade. I started with a bottled beer while he ordered a grapefruit crush. It states that it is made with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice but it did not look like it at all. Although my husband enjoyed his drink, it definitely did not compare to ones at other bars and restaurants. We started off with the jerk chicken appetizer. It was served with a mango salsa and a side of honey mustard. It was delicious! It was so good that my husband decided to order the jerk chicken wrap with chips for lunch. It was the same as the appetizer, just in a wrap! I had the honey bear chicken wrap which was crispy chicken, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato and honey mustard. I thought it was tasty. The service was friendly and quick. The views were nice and we had perfect weather yesterday to sit outside. read more

This has always been one of my fav lil summer spots! I've never sat in tge inside so I can't tell u what it's like, I always sit outside! I love water, so I have to sit in the outside dining part, lol! The outside always makes me feel like I'm at the beach, from the sand underneath your feet as you eat, looking at the water and the music. I had the fish tacos and they were pretty good, the salsa made my tacos juicy (I hate dry tacos). I had a rum punch which was good. My boyfriend bad crabcake, fries and green beans. I only tasted his crabcake and it was okay, I wasn't crazy abt it because I could taste the filler on it. The service was good, Taylor was our server, she was super bubbly and pleasant! read more

This past weekend, my boyfriend and I went to dinner at Sunset Cove. It was a beautiful, warm evening out and we were able to get a table outside on the sand with no wait at all. The service was great too - our serve was attentive and prompt. First, we had a delicious crab dip, then we ordered our dinner. I had a wrap and my boyfriend had a burger, and we both enjoyed our meals. We also had coconut cream pie for dessert which was delicious. This was the perfect place to come for dinner on a late-spring/summer evening. I did want to mention that towards the end of our visit, an agitated man a few tables away began screaming and blubbering about his dissatisfaction with the service. It became apparent to everyone at Sunset Cove that this customer was in the wrong. I just want to commend the staff and security for dealing with this situation professionally and promptly. I was really impressed. We will definitely be coming back here. read more

After a day of sailing on the Chesapeake Bay, we headed over to Sunset Cove to wrap up the beautiful summer day. The wait was not surprising (an hour and twenty minutes for a table at 6:30 PM on a Saturday night), but we were lucky to get a bar table out in the sand. We ordered at the bar and got to watch the O's game while enjoying some tasty cocktails. "Suntan toes ticklin' the sand. Cold drink chillin' in my right hand," no truer words were sung (by Kenny Chesney), and literally as the sun went down. The view of the marina with the sun setting was spectacular. Oh! They serve food, too! The rockfish bites were tasty and enough for leftovers, the pina coladas were refreshing and fruity, and the nachos were OMG! Delicious! Great service and great views of the water. Get your summer on! read more

Plastic came nicely fried & breaded in the Calamari I ordered...Sarah, one of the managers on duty came over & also confirmed this was indeed plastic from the Calamari packaging..she was very apologetic & stated that she would take that off the bill even though we finished the calamari... well yeah Sarah, we didn't know you guys were serving calamari with special prizes & it just so happened to be the last one we ate...Any-hoot, Sarah asked if I would like another drink, on top off her taking the already consumed Calamari off the bill. I say that's fine; in agreement. But when the bill comes, I see they are charging me for the second drink...How?? read more

I stopped in with my family for a little dinner. I hadn't been here I years and thought I'd check it again. The ambience is awesome. Waterfront seating with tables in the sand. It was a beautiful day so the table outside was perfect. We were immediately greeted by a friendly waitress who was very patient with us. They had some interesting cocktails so, My wife had the Sunset crush which was excellent. For entree, it is the Fish and Chips, my wife had the Jerk Chicken salad and my son had the Shrimp tacos. The fish was very good, but the fries had an off taste. It was hard to explain, but they tasted like the oil hadn't been changed in a while. The cole slaw was simply ok. Nothing to write home about. The jerk chicken, however, was very good, as was the shrimp tacos. But my son agreed, the fries were off. Overall, the service was great and the relaxing location was awesome, but the food was so so. At least the entree I had. Since the location and service was so good, I will be back to give it another try. Hopefully, it was just a bad day in the kitchen. I'll update when I return. read more

Great location and cool place by the water for drinks and food. Food was good, but it would be nice to have more grilled fish options or ceviche for those of us struggling to shed these annoying Covid pounds. The bar service from Natalie was outstanding! read more

Atmosphere and food were average but service isn't great. 18% automatic gratuity is no incentive for servers to earn a tip. We ordered appetizers and got them after our meals. Dirty dishes piled up on the table and were not cleared in a timely manner. read more

Worst restaurant I have ever had the misfortune of experiencing. Atrocious food, horrendous service, and way over priced for the garbage they serve. We were there for 3.5 hours for lunch because that's how bad the service was. I had to get up and get plates for my family of 9 for the crab dip appetizer which was a very small tray of mostly cream cheese and very little crab. Half our meals were brought out 45 minutes apart from the other meals. The food servers were clueless and repeatedly went to the incorrect tables with the food orders. I had to ask for everything from our waitress. She never asked if we needed anything or for drink refills. The food was tasteless and frozen, not fresh. Garbage. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the time and money and go elsewhere. Hell, a filet o fish from McDonald's would be better than this garbage. As would the service. Pathetic. read more

First, the good. Service was good. Plenty of parking.Nice location. Now the bad. Limited entree options. I ordered the Jerk chicken wrap. Could not taste the Jerk seasoning. Or the chicken. Too many other other ingredients overwhelmed the jerk chicken. The chicken should overwhelm the other fillers. Next, the music overwhelmed the beachfront atmosphere. They played fast, loud dance music the entire time. And no one danced. If the crowd was young and dancing, then ok. I liked the songs. But loud and fast with no one dancing is too much. Read the crowd. Should have worked some softer, relaxing songs into the mix for those that want to enjoy the sand, water, boats and sunset. read more

Came here for a friend's bday party. Appetizers were $10-20, entrees $20-30 (though crabcakes were ~$40/45). Had a drink, a strawberry mojito which was good. Service was very friendly, view of the water was very nice. Food was overall just ok. -crab dip was good, served in a bread bowl -calamari rings were crispy, tasty -jerk chicken was a little dry and the mango topping + honey mustard dip didn't compliment each other for me -rockfish were a little mushy, flavorless Would come back for a view of the boats and a fun mojito. read more

A year later we returned with a group of 10, for a birthday celebration dinner. Again, this place did not disappoint. Our server was attentive and friendly. Every person in our party commented on how good their meal was. We also met the owners, who stopped by our tables and asked us how everything was. No complaints here. As stated in my review from last year, I wish we lived closer to this restaurant so we could come more often. read more

The ambiance is great, we were sat outside on their sandy area. Other than that the rest of the restaurant is a huge miss. The food took over 45 minutes to come out. They had almost zero vegetarian options. The day we went they only had the sand area open and the indoor seating was closed. Into our meal it started raining and they struggled to put the umbrellas up. My friend ordered a Cesar salas with chicken but the chicken never came out. read more

Just passing through town and was looking for a place to eat when I found this cool spot on the water. Though it was too early in the season, they had an awesome looking outside bar(s) with chairs and outside dining. Looks like a great summer party spot. As for the inside, the service and food were excellent. Very casual atmosphere with music piped in. Within our group we had the fish tacos, cream of crab soup, strawberry salad and the lump crabcake sandwich - minus the sandwich. All delicious and the prices were reasonable. Would definately come back for the food and to experience their outdoor entertainment. read more

I only came bc I heard this was the place to try. Since I live not far away and had a free night I decided to go. WRONG DECISION. I don't know if it's a thing to rush ppl out to get other ppl in but that happened. If I wait 30+ mins to be seated why am I being rushed to leave after 45 -50mins? The food was mediocre. Stay home or go somewhere else UPDATE!!! The manager responded about me being rushed out and called it a fake review. So I decided to scroll thru and saw a similar review from a month ago with the same experience but he responded to me and called me a liar. Sir, I'm an adult. I don't have to lie. My experience was from weeks ago and only reviewed now bc a friend wanted to try. I've given worse food with a better atmosphere and customer service better reviews. It's not the end of the world. Just improve read more

RACIST MANAGER! We were refused service at this restaurant because we called out this manager "Sarah" for being racist and treating us with the lowest standard of customer service. We often dine around town as a party of 10 or more and get a separate table for our kids if one is available. Today, we were seated at one of the picnic tables and asked if the kids could sit at one of the smaller round tables beside us. The manager immediately refused when our waiter went to ask- even though half of the restaurant was empty (pictures below) , it was around 4pm. We asked to speak to the manager and as soon as she got to our table she began raising her voice, had a full attitude and was talking to us as if we weren't going to pay. At that point, we knew she was treating us differently because she is a racist. So I asked her" is this how you treat your white customers? We are willing to pay two separate checks or whatever if that is the problem. We have never had an issue sitting at a separate table from our teenage kids." She then began to raise her voice and get very rude and defensive and finally said she was going to refuse us service, called the only BLACK security guard on file to tell us to leave and went to the bar to get a drink. My brother then politely asked for the owners name and she continuously put her hands in his face saying he could contact the front for it. This is not our fist time at Sunset Cove nor is it our first time dining out. I review restaurants on Tik Tok and Instagram and get thousands of views. Never have I encounters such disgusting customer service- this manager should NOT be in the hospitality/restaurant business. Not only did Sunset Cove lose loyal diners today but so many other paying customers came up to us telling us how unethical and unfair the manager treated us. I am so disappointed knowing that people, like Sarah, are being put in positions to hurt paying customers, thriving businesses and hard working employees. Update: Sarah (the manager and her friends are leaving fake reviews to push outs down, how pathetic!i read more

We had to wait over an hour for our food. Burgers were undercooked and our waiter was nowhere to be found. When we asked them about it there was no apology nor attempt to make it right, just an excuse that the kitchen was backed up (although the place was not busy at all). Unfortunately the location is great and the atmosphere beautiful. I just wish it was better managed. Not happy with the food and very displeased with the treatment by the waitstaff. I will not return. read more

A good review mostly for the atmosphere. On the water, outdoor area is adorable with tables and chairs in the sand. Also loungers and sofas in sand in a separate area. Be sure to come prepared with proper foot attire if you plan on sitting outside. It was a surprise coming here for me, and I probably wouldn't have worn wedge heels if I knew. Tried the cove fries and rockfish tenders. The cove fries were more cheese than crab dip, but not bad. The rockfish tenders were breaded and fried well and soft in the middle. But the chipotle aioli really made them. Also pictured is the strawberry salad and fiesta shrimp tacos but didn't try them. All in all, the food is ok, and the atmosphere is pretty cool. read more

I took my entire family to this restaurant for Juneteenth/Father's Day. There are 14 of us in total. The hostess attempted to sit us all at one picnic table (even though there were two unoccupied tables beside us) after showing her that it was impossible to fit us all. We asked for one of the open tables. She said I would need to speak with her Mananger, which we asked to see. The Manager refused to come. My sister walked over to show and tell her that her suggestion was impossible. She said that we SHOULD be able to fit and that she had to hold the open seats for other possible guests. There were no other guests waiting. She was extremely rude and dismissive. We left and will never return. I refuse to spend $1 dollar in an establishment that disregards their patrons and have no regard to customer service. The Picnic tables are outside near the dock. read more

The food tastes good. The view is nice. Our waitress was very nice and friendly. The only reason that we don't like about this place is they charge $5 per person CASH ONLY cover charge to get into the restaurant. It does not make any sense. I have been in many restaurants with good food and good view but none of them charge us any cover charge, this is the only place charge us the cover charge, cash only! Not many ppl carry cash around. Many ppl walked away because of this cover charge. I don't know if Covid has anything done with the cover charge at all base on the menu they said "due to covid, we have changed our policy". Also 18% gratitude auto-added to the check when checking out also. read more

Don't go if you have a hearing problem and want to chat. We had a good meal. I had the shrimp tacos and fries. The tacos were a nice flour tortilla with about 5 (31-35 size) shrimp in a Pico de Gallo with a fresh queso from fresco. It was not a lot, but the flavors were worth the cost. The fries were a delight too. They were double dipped with an outside crust and from a deep fryer which must have been changed recently. Wow! read more

Nice waterfront location but average food. The service was good except they kept offering to clear our plates as we were working on them. I ordered the cream of crab soup to start. It could have been hotter temperature wise. It had a lot of crab meat it in but it wasn't very flavorful. I also ordered the crab dip, which comes with multi-color tortilla chips. The chips were not very fresh. The crab dip was pretty good though. read more
