I've noticed there are 2 locations always passing by the Annapolis location. Finally I said let me try this location here in Fells Point. It was definitely a great energy from the bartender and staff. Drinks were amazing and delicious in ways unknown to the taste buds. I was also let in awe by the mussels and steamed shrimp. The aesthetics of the establishment was def upscale and inviting.. I sat only the bar enjoying my food and drinks with my lady. read more

The Choptank - True Colors - Seafood Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

In all fairness take this review with a grain of salt since I do not eat seafood. Their "specialty". Sat at the bar before dinner and had the unfriendliest bartenders. Though not crowded and doing "busy work", was ignored until I waived one down. Nice to sit outside by the water during the summer, but a little dark late in evening. Wings app was ok, average. My guest liked the artichokes, but not the sauce. And found the shrimp cocktail rubbery. The gumbo was so over salted it was inedible. Service was average at best. read more

Great spot. Service is always quality. Food is affordable and menu options are vast. I ordered the steak salad and it's great every time. Lots of space and natural light with indoor and outdoor seating. There is an outdoor bar as well. Family friendly location . read more

Amazing seafood and a great selection. They have fresh delicious oysters. The Chili Puppies are a cute and spicy alternative to hushpuppies. The fries are just ok, but good enough with a sandwich. The service is friendly and fast. I recommend sitting outside when it's a nice day. read more

Came in here with high expectations for Maryland's famous crab cakes, left somewhat dissatisfied. If you love salt, come here. Most of the foods were all heavily seasoned with salt and butter. It was uncomfortable and hard to finish. Aside from how heavily seasoned with salt the food was, everything else was decent. The ambiance is good for a family meal, the steak came out perfectly medium rare, and the crab cake had good texture. Some positives are the service and quantity. The servers were decently attentive to our needs and the quantity of food was a lot. If you are still considering to visit Salttank, then I would recommend sharing dishes. I believe you can find better food for the price, but its worth a visit once in life. read more

The Choptank has such a great outdoor space. Lots of seating inside and outside. The outside has fire pits along with Adirondack chairs and corn hole. It also has an outdoor unisex restroom close to the bar which is super convenient. I had a friend visiting from out of town who wanted seafood so we came here for a weekend dinner. We sat outside and were greeted shortly by our server. We ordered drinks to start, a cosmo for me and Jolly Roger for my friend. My cosmo arrived and it was super red. The server noticed it as well and took it back as the bartender had put a cranberry vodka in instead of regular vodka. She came back with my drink and it was still red and had half an inch less liquid than before. It still didn't look like any Cosmos I've let alone taste like one (it still tasted like cranberry vodka). She thought it was better and was happy with my drink; I wasn't going to make a big deal about it. Kind of disappointing the bartender doesn't know how to make a classic cocktail such as a Cosmo. Moving on to the food... We chose to get the Oyster Rockefeller to start and each decided on a single platter of the Crab Cake Platter as well. The oyster Rockefeller was so good! The creamed spinach and Gruyère cheese were a great combo - very delicious. Our Crab Cakes were amazing. They had so much lump crabmeat in them. They were good just as they were but it was more flavorful dipping the bites in the remoulade. Fries were nice and crispy and went great with the remoulade as well. I loved the food we ordered - they were all so delicious! Our server was friendly but one star down because my Cosmo could never be made right and my server didn't know the difference (seriously, so weird in my opinion). My friend at least liked his drink well enough. Food was amazing. I can't stop thinking about that crab cake! Great vibes all around and good food. read more

So for Father's Day Makayla surprised me with brunch at Choptank. She reserved it ahead of time so we didn't have to wait best part was when we arrived a truck was coming outta their parking spot so we didn't have a parking issue cause anybody that's been down Fells Point you know how that parking is. The outside setting is perfect place especially when the weather is good. I started off with the crab soup & mimosa. This is where the problems begin cause the service was terrible. It was to the point the waitress had to take the crab soup, & mimosa off the bill as well as part of the kids food orders. The shrimp Po'Boy was actually good but besides that the poor service really makes it difficult for me to consider giving them a second chance read more

Excellent seafood. But a very loud business. I'm not sure I would come back here. Also pretty pricey so the value is average.

Beautiful, spring weekday evening, party of 4 who opted for outdoor seating. The ambience was sitting outdoors, was absolute perfection First, our waitress was very, very pleasant and very helpful-she made a lot of great recommendations. Everyone enjoyed their food. I highly recommend the fried oysters app, they were amazing. As for my pan seared trout, I did have to shake some old bay on it because it was slightly under salted. read more

Super high prices; mediocre food. So.. no value for the money. Oh, specifically, Do not order the Maryland crab soup, unless you want to spend $9 on a cup of soup that tasted like it came from a can. Hey chef; work on that recipe. You can do better. To Atlas... profit will come to you if you keep the standards high. I am motivated to stay away from Atlas because of these reoccurring quality issues. If you are inclined to support independent restaurants which have consistent quality and value, then move along to somewhere else. Choptank is not one of those places. read more

It was a nice vibe and they have live music some nights. Went here to give the happy hour a try. The salt and vinegar fries were pretty good. The fried chicken sliders could be better. The cheese on the sandwiches was a little odd and the overall seasoning of the chicken could be better. The Brussels sprouts were very flavorful but a little too sweet for my taste. The service was pretty good. I would return to explore the rest of the menu. read more

We had a very good time, got in with a reservation for 4 people. The service was very attentive. The food came out with perfect timing. The calamari was good, the jalapeños and banana peppers were a nice touch, although it felt 1/2 peppers 1/2 calamari. Kobe meet all very good. Salads were good. While it was a quiet night and people were very friendly, there was a very "corporate " feel to it, opposed to a local Fells Point place read more

Ambiance 4/5 Very attractive to the eye. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outdoors. TV screens everywhere. Service by Noah 4/5 Ok, just ok. Great drink recommendations. Not too personable but consistent. Food 4/5 Well plated. Safe w the seasonings. Seasonings non existent on certain dishes. We ordered... - Cajun Pasta (Sausage on the Side) - Well seasoned and yum! Plentiful. - Crush - Green Tea (Jameson, Peach Liqueur, Lemon, Sprite) - Smooth. - Craft Cocktail - Shore Thing (Sagamore Spirit Rye, Sweet Tea, Peach, Lemon, Honey) - Reads better than it tastes. Would not order again. Plenty of other options available. - Fried Chicken w Brussels (minus the honey) - Ok. Just ok. No seasonings used but very tender. - Maryland Cream of Crab Soup - A hit !! A must order. Would I revisit... Heck yes. The burger and wings that walked past us had us planning our next visit in advance!! Looking forward to a 5/5 experience. read more

Love the ambiance of this place. Great upscale place without upscale pricing. They have an outside patio which will be awesome for the summer. Service was on point. We had a bartender named Keith who made great drinks and kept them coming all night long! The honey old bay wings are amazing, they are a must try! Ask for a Keith at the bar you won't be disappointed read more

Had dinner and forgot to take pictures because I was so hungry. Marc was our server and was very kind and took great care of us. We started out with the crab dip and it was really delicious. I got the crabcake and fries and it did not disappoint. I was told I needed to get a orange crush because that is the thing in Maryland. So, of course I had to drink with the locals drink. And it was delicious. The atmosphere here is very nice, but we ate there on a cold day, but it looks like this place would be pretty busy in the summer. We ended the dinner with a warm cookie and ice cream. You can't go wrong with that choice! The food and atmosphere was perfect and the service was wonderful as well read more

Stopped in town for the night while driving down to Virginia, and Choptank was recommended by our hotel (bonus points for being walking distance away!) we were so glad we chose to have dinner and drinks here. The guava lemonade crush was the best drink I have ever had. And the fried oysters were absolutely delicious! Food and drinks aside, the service was also fantastic! Our server, Tyler, was attentive and happy the entire time, and was even singing along to the playlist (which rocked!). It was the perfect night to eat outside and the patio was lovely. Would definitely recommend dining (or just drinking) here if you're in the Baltimore area. read more

Great calamari and oysters rockefeller, server and service was great. Delicious drinks. Mussels were a bit gritty, wouldnt order again, and the potato skins were ok, really liked the horseradish cream sauce but maybe could have used some meat or better cheese- didnt taste much else. Brother LOVED the watermelon salad. Solid spot i wouldnt mind returning to read more

I went to The Choptank with low expectations, and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food/service and the reasonable prices. Their game day menu was a great deal with $5 beers and significantly lower prices for popular menu items like oysters and crab dip. We also tried Maryland crab and cream of the crab soups and found both decent. While the Baltimore area has amazing seafood options (some with better food), The Choptank is still a decent option if you want a spacious/chill spot at Fells Point with very good service. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday. Tons of seating and no reservation required. Reservations were available on OpenTable if desired. For a weekday lunchtime they only are doing seating inside. Outdoor seating was closed. We had the fried calamari as an appetizer. Well prepared and seasoned. The Maryland crab soup is decent but not fantastic. There are better versions at other local restaurants. The cold water lobster tail was severely over priced for the size of the dish. The crabcake sandwich was really well seasoned and prepared. The Caesar salad was also good. The Chesapeake rockfish that I ordered was blackened well. I wish the skin had been crispier, but the fish itself was otherwise perfectly cooked. The broccolini was decent but nothing too special. The french fries were crispy and well salted. Our server was very friendly and brought frequent refills of water and soda/lemonade. Overall I think you're paying a lot more for location and ambience. I would recommend avoiding the lobster tail, as it is simply a ridiculously over priced item. I would also skip the Maryland crab soup, unless you are really in the mood for it. It was decent enough, but you should order that somewhere else and stick with the items that this place does well. I will absolutely have the fish, calamari, and the crabcake again. read more

Smack in the middle of Fell's Point with indoor and lots of outdoor seating. We have passed this place so many times and finally took the plunge for a very late lunch. I was doubtful but the food was actually quite fabulous. We ordered: Maryland Crab Soup Old Bay Honey Wings Tuna Tartare One Crab ale, subbing Corn Pudding for fries I loved every dish! I mean really, wings with honey and old bay? A fresh tartare with just the right amount of heat and a crab cake that was pure lump crab. Can't forget that corn pudding which was like dessert. Service was great. The only reason I deducted a star was pricing. I rarely do this as I know what I am getting into when I dine out (and yes, I know it's a tourist area) but I thought some of the pricing here was pretty outrageous. The crab cake was full of crab but over $60 for two? Sorry, just can't wrap my head around that one. I hear there are some hood happy hour specials, but only at the bar. read more

I arrived for my reservation and they would not allow me to have my reserved table, even though they were not even half full, inside or out. Because I was there alone. They actually cancelled my reservation and told me to go to the bar. It was the middle of the afternoon. If it were not already a long morning after a flight, I would have just went somewhere else. They have much better customer service at Thames Street Oyster House. Service at the bar was a little better. I did not realize they only had the brunch menu, which I did not want. It wasn't until I talked to a different bartender that it was mentioned that brunch ended in 20 minutes and then I could order off the regular menu. The first person I talked to should have mentioned that. The many people who were serving at the bar were all friendly at least. Making someone wait is silly though. This is a seafood place. Does it make sense to say you can have a crab cake sandwich but not a crab cake or shrimp po boy but not just the shrimp? No. You can order those individual items on the regular menu while the sandwich versions are on the brunch menu. I tried the crab cake, fried shrimp, corn pudding, shrimp cocktail, and crab soup. They were out of soft shell crab. I did not love the breading on the shrimp, tasted over fried, but the food was ok otherwise. read more

I had a very good meal at The Choptank, the food was five star! After work a bunch of us were heading to a restaurant known for their crab cakes. Once we arrived, we're told there's a 90 minute wait. What? I walk out and someone recommended The Choptank. In my mind I'm saying to myself, it looks like a place where they fry everything and can order a bucket of beer... Come to find out, Greeks established the restaurant. My mom is half Greek so Opa! My perspective changed when I looked over the menu. The restaurant has a soup speciality, Maryland Crab Soup. One has a clear broth and the other has a cream broth. Our waitress tells us about the 1/2 and 1/2 soup, it uses both soups and is her favorite. This soup was the highlight of my trip, it was insane! Loaded with flavor and lots of meaty crab, just a great starter. I ordered a single crab cake platter ($27 bucks) that comes with fries and cole slaw. That crab cake was respectable! Made with 98% crab and very little filler, it was cooked perfectly and by far the best I had in long time. The Choptank is a large restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. It was a little cold to sit outside. It seems like a great spot to have a few locals beers outside and enjoy some amazing regional foods. Totally five stars from me and highly recommended when In Baltimore. read more

Cute outdoor restaurant. The restaurant is enclosed and has greenery all around the walls making it feel like you're almost in a beach town even though you're in the middle of the city. It's a great vibe and has a clean, fresh look to it. I came for happy hour and ordered the wings and mussels and they were all really good. The honey old bay is my flavor of choice for the wings. So delicious. As for drinks, I had the green tea crush and it was the perfect summer drink. The service was a very relaxed pace and could've been better. But luckily I didn't come starving and I was not in a rush so it didn't bother me much. The restaurant also has outdoor games that you can play. I would definitely return here and do recommend others to try it out. read more

Situated in a median at Fell's Point, this seafood joint really delivered. I decided to go with the Fish and Chips and was not disappointed. The fish was very crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside ... yummy! And, of course, I washed it down with a cold beer (of which there were many to choose from). The service was very good as well. There was always prompt attention to our needs. I look forward to coming back in a warmer month ... as the outdoor area practically doubles the size of the restaurant and has the potential for a really fun atmosphere. read more

I was in Baltimore a few weeks ago and had dinner The Choptank while I was in town. The restaurant was about a block away from the harbor, which had great views and a good vibe. Featured here is: Oysters Rockefeller Chili Puppies Blackened Chesapeake Rockfish Loaded Mashed Potatoes A fancy cocktail that I can't remember what it was called This was my first time trying Oysters Rockefeller and Rockfish, but I was pleasantly surprised by both. The creamed spinach and Gruyère certainly took the oysters to another level for our appetizer. And I'm a sucker for hush puppies, so these were a no brained for me to grab. They were packed with flavor and had the right consistency, I'd easily order those again. I got the rockfish with a side of lemon butter and it was a great pairing. I don't consider myself a seafood expert, but the rockfish was cooked well and had good taste. The loaded potatoes were a nice compliment as a side dish too. If you are in Baltimore and looking for a good place to grab some seafood, this is a good option to try. They are complimented by many other local shops that you can checkout too. read more

Choptank is literally located in the middle of Fells Point. It has a nice walk up and the decor is very inviting. There is bar seating and low table seating. I sat at the bar and ordered the Black Angus Burger($19) which included two 4oz patties, american cheese, ramoulade, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. Their sandwiches come with french fries. I also ordered the Bold Rock Apple cider. Things to Note: * It is an outdoor establishment. Check the weather before you come. * Arrive early to account for parking. * Most of their food entrees are a la carte. Pros: * The bar tenders work well together. They were all attentive and you can ask anyone for anything without having to wait for the main bartender to be available. * The black angus burger was one of the best that I have had in awhile. * Believe it or not, fries can be cooked wrong. Choptank's fries were notable. They had a nice crunch/crisp on the outside and soft potato on the inside. Overall, I had an okay experience. I appreciated the good service and food. read more
