My friend and I met here for a girl's night happy hour and we had a great time, even on a snowy night! The location is beautiful overlooking Nabbs Creek, which flows into the Patapsco. The marina is tucked away into the trees on a long winding road and the view is gorgeous when you pull in. The staff were all so friendly and attentive, they all took care of us and made sure we were taken care of every time they passed by. For drinks, I had their three mocktails and they were delicious. My friend had the same drinks but with alcohol and we really liked sipping on them and chatting. We split the crab dip pretzel and fried pickles, which really hit the spot. I also got the Broken Oar Burger and the chicken Caesar salad wrap to go. I ate them with my husband when I got home and they were super yummy with lots of flavor. I'd definitely come back here again, and I'd love to arrive by boat next time! read more

I love finding a local hangout. Do yourself a favor and order up an orange crush. You're welcome.

Not dog friendly! We came here for a special experience for our dog on Mother's Day. We talked about it all week long. No seating outside is what we were told but look at the picture with a couple dozen of people outside. So disappointing! read more

Tucked away off the main path, The Broken Oar not only bares a unique name but truly a locals spot. It is exactly what you'd expect next to a small marina. The evening I got lost and found myself here, the place was bustling with patrons, and almost everyone opted for outside seating under the bright sky and crisp evening air. Menu offerings are seasonal, and drinks are solid! Calamari to munch with my drink came out crisp and hot. I also tried the pub fish and chips, and it was good! Cod was a decent size, but I dont care for too much grease. I prefer them flaky and flavorful. The chips were light and addicting lol! If you like smokey mezcal, definitely try their pineapple crush here. Strong 14oz. and great balance of sweet! I enjoyed the live music at the venue. The crowd here is full of locals and that vibe! Outdoor seating weather permitting is abundant, and I can see why it can get crowded. I appreciated the many well-behaved furbabies hanging out on deck the day of my visit! Accessibility is available to the outdoor space and bar. The ramp is located right before the steps to the restaurant entrance. Both indoor and outdoor bars are available. The marina is a tranquil place for after dinner walk. Please be mindful of the private spaces and boat slips at the dock. read more

it's been a while since we've eaten here. Lucked out with a table in the shade on a busy summer Friday night. Major props to our server Kurt. He was on top of it. Started with calamari which I forgot to get a pic of. Our personal calamari taster (bougie 10yr old) gave a solid 4 out of 5. He then raved over his mozzarella sticks. We agreed they were superior. Hubby got the buffalo chicken wrap with tots. A healthy serving of tot! I got the field salad with salmon. A huge piece of salmon that was well cooked on a super fresh salad. Not too heavy on a warm summer night. I also enjoy the blueberry gin and tonic. Very tasty. Some nice live music and a good crowd. read more

The Broken Oar is the perfect spot to sit and have lunch during the week--especially when it is not super busy, and the weather is hot and sunny. During the week in their non-surge hours, you can find accessible parking, a clear waterfront view, and happy staff members that are not sweating and swearing under their breath at drunken patrons. If you come during the evenings or on a weekend, it is a different clientele and staff tends to be overwhelmed. My favorite spot is the outdoor bar for the best service and drinks! I have had the shrimp Caesar wrap, shrimp salad wrap, and their sushi rolls! read more

Everything was great! Food, service, ambience! I relocated to this area and am slowly becoming acclimated to my 'new' home. Definitely will return! read more

The broken oar....... The greatest find in the Glen Burnie area!!! First, the food is always AMAZING. Second, the view is phenomenal- right on the water! And third, the staff is always super friendly and fun. They have indoor and outdoor seating but when the weather is nice- nothing beats sitting on the dock and enjoying some food and live music! They do live music most nights! They also do happy hour from 12-6 I believe EVERYDAY!!!! I believe it's some apps, pizza, sushi, beer and wine, and select crushes! Get the creamsicle crush... it's seriously so good and tastes exactly like one! The strawberry lemon one is also good and taste like candy!! I've been a couple times and alwayyysssss get the crabby fries. They are the best in the area, hands down. I've had other places but nothing matches these. They do not skimp!!! Sushi is always fresh and delicious! The pizza isn't the best I've ever had but it's still good! The honey old bay wings are another item I get everytime I go because they are drowned in sauce and SO GOOD!! read more

My burger was packed with flavors. More importantly the chicken was not dry. I must say the menu seems a little limited. The server checked on us multiple times to make sure we were satisfied. I greatly appreciate that. I decided to sit by the water because it was a warm day. read more

This place is a little hard to find because it's in a wooded area and not surrounded by any other businesses. But we persisted and found it. You can easily drive past the sign, but know that you have to drive down a hill through a wooded area and you will eventually find it. The place is beautifully decorated with a nautical theme that is pretty and calm. It's part of a marina area. We love the pizzas, sushi and HH specials. We will return. read more

Our to-go for HH. Love to sit outside just feet from the water. Beautiful setting. Good service. Great food. Fresh, made to order sushi!

The setting is amazing. Even the drive leading to the restaurant is gorgeous, featuring best of Maryland shore vibes. We sat outside under a canopy roofed patio.it was loud but very doable for conversion. Huge drink menu, wonderful sushi and plentiful appetizers. The main courses are somewhat limited to wraps and burgers but overall a good experience. Coming back for dinner fun next time read more

The Broken Oar is perfect for when you just need a solid, relaxed joint with a large menu and a place to eat with your friends. They also have great live music!! The food is reliable, consistent. I love that they have a sushi option (but I've never tried it because I've never been when the sushi bar is open). They also have a nice outdoor seating area. It's right on the water and the perfect place to go hang, snag some drinks, and grab a bite. read more

Food was great. The staff is really friendly and checks in often. I really enjoyed their orange crush. Loved the view!

Food was great. Pricey for crab cakes, I would expect to pay about $48 for two crab cakes. I got the Crab dip, crab cakes($58) and French fries. Service was quick and very friendly. Would go back. read more

I have to update because now I keep going back. The crushes are strong and so good. The crabby tots are a MUST. The bingo nights are so much fun. The skips to me are the onion rings (too greasy) & cheesesteak (very mid/bland). If you're looking for a nice water view and a fun time, definitely check it out. read more

This evening was my third time visiting The Broken Oar. Other times, we came during the week. Today we wanted to meet some friends to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We arrived around 6:30pm and it was very busy and had a wait of 30 minutes. No problem! We scored one bar seat and another became available. For some reason, they didn't allow anyone to self-seat at all the open bar area tables. But okay, we will happily follow their procedures. It became significantly less busy at 7:30 and our group was all present. The street corn quesadilla was a 10/10! The drinks met our expectations. The hostesses were great. One bartender, unfortunately not the one we were working with, was a rockstar. However, the remainder of the service left a lot to be desired. The order in which customers were served didn't make sense, skipping over people in our small group at the bar, and forgetting items. Two people in our party asked why we brought them there and left early directly related to the poor service they received. I said to my boyfriend "maybe someone called out and she's making a sacrifice to help behind the bar" when someone said she shouldn't be behind the bar. That's the kind of grace I think everyone should be given. Bartender was not well versed in available items, which brought about the largest downfall of the visit. $80 charge for 4 shots of Don Julio when my boyfriend decided on rail after the bartender wasn't sure what was available, then checked and gave options, and my boyfriend asked for rail. She brought them and asked if we wanted limes, he said yes and she brought the limes. Just our tab was $332 (plus the tabs our friends had for other purchases) and when both my boyfriend and myself brought to her attention that we asked for rail tequila, not Don Julio, she said "I didn't hear that", and that was that. Her 20% tip was included on the bill as a service fee so she was whole and we unjustly paid the price for the error or her misunderstanding, whatever it may be. We put $10 in the juke box and after a couple of songs, a DJ arrives. Okay, no problem we'll eat that little loss. We were the only people to tip the DJ, I believe $15. All that to say, we're not throwing thousands at this place but we were happy to pay for everything we requested. I was really upset leaving with an $80 charge for top shelf shots we didn't request. My boyfriend is a long time bartender and knows the difference in pricing between rail top shelf; he didn't ask for Don Julio. It's really discouraging that this was not made right; as a long time professional in the customer service field, I work really hard for my money and I was taken advantage of without any attempt to make it right. read more

I went to the Broken Oar for dinner last weekend when they had live music. We checked in and requested a table on the patio and were told it would be a 30 minute wait. Fortunately, it did not take that long. We were greeted promptly by our friendly server who took our drink and appetizer order. I got a canned beer and my husband ordered a grapefruit crush. We also ordered the mozzarella sticks with extra marinara sauce. I really enjoyed them. The patio bar was extremely slow which did not bother us. We were not in a rush during our meal and our server was super upfront and told us that the outside bar was a little backed up. I sooo appreciated her honestly because that is all it takes to ease customers. Most servers would not say anything and just let people wait and wait and wonder if they were forgotten. I had the bacon cheeseburger which old bay chips. I enjoyed my meal. My husband had the Chicken Chesapeake with tots which he loved. He also tried two of the sushi rolls: spicy tuna roll and avocado roll. He said they were not bad. Overall, the experience went well and we will definitely be back at some point soon. read more

A great place by the water to have lunch or dinner. The prices are reasonable and the service was good. We ordered the brussel sprouts. They are deep fried with a glaze of balsamic, bacon and goat cheese. I asked for more glaze and cheese which made it much better. The portion was large for the price. The lobster roll had big chunks of lobster on a fresh roll. Def would get it again. Then we got the Broken Oar Burger which had bacon & crab dip. I was too full to eat that but had it the next day for lunch. It was still strath but prob would've been better if I had it there. read more

My wife and I went for lunch at Broken Oar today (Friday). We have been there previously and we were really looking forward to some sushi. Unfortunately sushi isn't available until 4 PM. They really need to point this out on their website. That was the only downside to the visit. Hostess / Server was excellent. The structure, layout and view outstanding. The draft beer list could be better but it did have a good NEIPA so I was good. The food was excellent. I had the Chicken Caesar Wrap and my wife the Shrimp Salad Sandwich. The homemade chips were also a pleasant surprise. (note - they should have Old Bay / JO's on the table). The value was very good, and they even gave a 10% military discount (always appreciated). Definitely a good place to go. read more

Unbeknownst to us, we stopped by a night they had trivia on the outside dock bar area. Pretty loud and obtrusive but whatever we asked to sit outside so take what you get I guess. Food was relatively good. Drinks were okay, def remember ordering a maitai and it wasn't overly sweet which is what I wanted for a drink that has oj pine and grenadine in it. Good relaxing views on the water and they let dogs eat here too! Will return, but this time will find out about trivia beforehand. Jake n kev read more

Visited The Broken Oar for the first time last weekend and were seated inside to avoid the heat on that day. However, there is a large area for outdoor seating near the dock/waterside that looks like it would be great on cooler days. Our server was very attentive and provided great service. We first started off with the Fried Brussel Sprouts and the Crab Cake Egg Rolls. The Brussel sprouts were good, but the egg rolls were really the star of the day. The crab dip like consistency of the filling paired with the crunchy texture of the egg roll was truly perfect. As for my entrée, I got the crab cake sandwich which was very fairly priced! It wasn't the best crab cake I've had, but it was still satisfying. I got the fries as my side and thought they were well seasoned, but could have been a bit warmer. Others at my table got tater tots which were not good. They came out mushy and more similar to hash browns than tater tots; they were too soggy. Overall, our experience was good, and we will be back again! read more

Outside bar was closed. Food wasn't that great. Happy hour was misleading. Drinks were terrible, even draft beer was flat. The only good thing about this place was that the staff were very friendly. Will not going back there again. read more

What a fun place! Went with the family for dinner and had a great time. The outdoor space is great! We sat under a tent and the cross breeze was beautiful! There was some live music that my 3 year old loved ! They had a high chair for my 1 year old so in my eyes, kid friendly! I got the salmon BLT and it was good. My husband got the Baltimore wrap and said it was tasty. My kids shared the chicken finger app and it was plenty for them. The food is typical bar food, but it was good. Our waitress was very nice and things came out fairly quickly which is always good with kids. Drinks were good too! I'd come back to just sit on the patio and listen to music. Great spot! read more

The Broken Oar is a go to for us, as our boat is at the marina next door. This place offers a step above bar food and sushi. The drinks are also on point. My go to right now is their sushi burrito. I've also enjoyed many a crab cake Caesar salads. Their wraps and burgers are solid as well. The tiki bar outside recently expanded and it's nice being able to sit on the water. Be sure to check out their Facebook page, as they often have events and happy hour specials. Only four stars due to the service being spotty. Sometimes, it can take a minute for staff to acknowledge the table, but it's usually smooth sailing after that! read more
