Very superb food and service, made online reservations and all went well. A very pleasant food experience.

Good atmosphere and Great crab cakes! Keep up the great job! It was a great meal on the transit south.

Our take out order consisted of three items: 1- Broiled Seafood platter My husband was satisfied with the taste. 2. Bowl of Cream of Crab soup: Very disappointing! No lump crab at all in the congealed mess they gave us. Was as thick as pudding. The bowl was small. Just a little bigger than the sides bowls. Worst crab soup I have ever had. 3- Fried oysters- delicious read more

Local joint with really good seafood options. Price was on point as well. My guest and I weren't sure what to get but our server was very helpful and gave us great tips. I went with the bisque and fish tacos. The tacos were good...but dang, that bisque stole the show. The location isn't anything fancy but the service was good. I came on a busy Friday night but my server found an extra chair for me to sit at one of the bar tables. The place isn't fancy but doesn't need to be; this would remind you of whatever local joint you went to in any small town. read more

I always go here and hope it's going to be better than the last time. We went a total of three times. The first time was early in the year and we were told there were no fresh oysters. It was the whole reason we went to this restaurant. However, we have fried oysters and two of the specials that day, which I believe were haddock and something else. They were fantastic. So we decided to go back. Then we came back with others and waited 45 minutes for a table and then spent about 30 min ordering (it felt like we were an after-thought) , and another 30-45 min to get our food, which was sub par to say the least. My husband got the the rockfish I believe, and he thought the dish was unpleasantly fishy. Our other guests disliked his food. I got shrimp scampi, and I loved it. However, our drinks were never refilled. After 15 minutes we were ready to leave and it took us yet another 30 to get our check and actually exit. In total, it was a nightmare. The third time we went in we were told it would be a 45 minute wait and so we left. I doubt we'll ever be back. Which is a shame. read more

My husband and I have passed by this place so many times throughout the years. Can't believe I am just going inside. I would love to return for happy hour as the cocktail menu looked pretty good. This visit was for lunch. I sat and enjoyed a cup of the cream of crab soup. Followed by the blackened fish tacos for my entree. The cheesecake I had for dessert was basic. But the food was good and the atmosphere cozy and jovial. I appreciate my server's candid honesty when I asked her opinion/recommendation. read more

I have been to this restaurant several times and there are so many positive things about it, but I have to comment on their version of crab cakes. They are awful!!! While staying in the Solomons area, we decided to make the drive to The Foxy Fish to get some fresh seafood. I ordered crabs which were nice size and absolutely delicious. My husband got the seafood platter. Review of platter: Fried oysters GREAT!! Fried shrimp were lightly breaded and seasoned well. Fried fish and scallops were OK. The crab cake was AWFUL!!! Basically it was a bread cake with a tiny bits of crab meat in it. I must say, this is the third time I've encountered this horrible so-called crab cake, but I didn't write a review. In fact, the first time I went to the restaurant I was with someone who referred the restaurant to me. When we got back to our vacation rental, we all commented how awful the crabcakes were. The young lady who referred the Foxy Fish to us apologized because she said in the past, they had been much better I could not let another day go by without informing the owners that they need to give us what we are paying for. You expect a true crabcake and not a bread cake. FYI, that I will continue to go to the Foxy Fish because they have so many positive things going for them. All I'm asking is that they reconsider the recipe for crabcakes and give us what we're paying for. read more

The food is run of the mill seafood. Lots of fried food and breading. I've had crabs here before and they were good. Not somewhere I'd frequent but a good place to stop for a bite. Also, to much FOX tv. Not everyone wants to watch that. read more

The food and service is always on point! They go out of your way to make you feel welcome.

Carry out order is horrible. Crab cakes small and dried up. Forgot both sides and hush puppies cold. $65 dollars of gross food.

Such a cozy restaurant with good food. I truly enjoyed the service from start to finish. I will be honest and the food I ordered was good in flavor but I had to fight my brain in that the soft shell crab was actually soft shell. Again the flat was good but I couldn't finish my sandwich. The oster po'boy was also very fresh and tasty. read more

Great ambiance and amazing fresh all at a very good value Easily double the price in other towns so was great to find this joint on our way down to Solomons Island. Service was great too and I didn't. At h her name but when she noticed my elderly father who was with me she put us in the side room closer to things which was so sweet. We had lots of leftovers too that we heated up for lunch the next day at the bed & breafast. read more

Heard so much about this spot and had the opportunity to try it out recently. We ordered online for carry out. We arrived at the estimated time and picked up our order. It was on time and accurate! Now the food... it was delicious. Hot, fresh and prepared perfectly. We ordered shrimp scampi, a fried seafood platter, creamy crab soup, fries and side salads. No complaints here! I can't speak to the dining in experience but the food is on point! I did notice an outdoor dining set up, the restaurant also has a bar. If you're in the mood for a real deal seafood dinner... this is the spot! The menu includes a bit of everything... even non seafood items. read more

There isn't better restaurant to sit down and eat at in St Mary's. The food is wonderful and there are price points for all budgets. A+++

Finally made it to try this place. I only grabbed a fish sandwich, but it was one of the best I have had in a long while. The staff was amazing and the food was great. I will definitely be back for more food. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Mechanicsville!!! Friendly staff (be patient with them since they're understaffed- they are awesome), delicious meals and yummy cupcakes. I've had many meals here and I love the cream of crab soup. It's a great place to go for crabs, shrimp, crab cakes, hush puppies, and fish tacos. Prices are typical for a seafood restaurant. They have a good alcoholic drink selection and I always order a cupcake to go since they have fun, creative flavors. The atmosphere is fun and beach themed. They have added an outdoor seating area and another dining room/ area. Be patient with the older looking bathroom (it's clean and fine, but not beautiful) because they are planning to renovate them. They have definitely given this building a wonderful face lift through the years. read more

I was in Foxy Fish on Saturday November 4, 2023 and purchased crab dip and haddock fish bites entrée so I didn't eat the crab dip until the fifth on Sunday and it was too salty. When calling the restaurant back Theresa said because I didn't eat the crab dip until the next day and that is why it was salty who ever heard of such, because you don't eat the food the day that you purchased it it is going to be salty the next day I've never heard of such. I would not be going back. I've purchased crab dip before at Jerry's Place in Prince Frederick Maryland, and have never had any problem. Jerry knows how to treat his customers. Jerry's Place is where I will be spending my money for great service. read more

The cream of crab soup was really salty but overall our meal was pretty good. The main reason for the low review was our server. She was horrible. She was very unprofessional and rude. The eye rolls when asked for crackers, and snarky comments when discussing menu items were enough to make our dinner experience unpleasant; but overhearing "Caitlyn" complaining about customers (complete with obscenities) sealed the deal. We have made others aware of our experience, detailing her behavior. We could never in good conscious recommend a restaurant with such abhorrent behavior. We will NEVER be back. read more

This place really let me down today. I ordered: *cup of cream of crab soup. The cup was $7 and didn't have much crab. The crab that it did have, was still stuck to the bone so the soup was 'crunchy' when it should not have been. It was also under seasoned and very thick. *bang bang shrimp with pasta. they must be making a killing on this, because it was probably 6 shrimp, fried and chopped up to look like more than 6 shrimp over a bed of pasta with sauce. Nothing else. The sauce is pretty good, I wouldn't call it spicy though and the dish is NOT worth $20. It does come with a free side, I opted for the cole slaw, which was serviceable. The last straw for me was the 'Let's go Brandon' sticker on a fan inside the bar area. I choose not to give my money to businesses that support insurrectionists. read more

Very good service, it's like Florida in there. Food is pretty well made and fresh, stunk a little tho

Good food and service. We're never disappointed. This is a great place for all occasions.

Food was good and fresh. Love the crab legs and fresh lump meat crab cakes. Location was perfect

Early dinner after picking up stuffed ham at Chaptico's.

Decided to stop by after getting skunked at Solomon's (never fishing there again). The restaurant has a cute ocean/sea theme decor pretty clean. We were seated pretty quickly. We ordered cream of crab soup, crab dip, soft shell crabs, crab cakes sandwich and shrimp scampi. The cream of crab soup had tons of meat and was very flavorful. The crab dip was very cheeeesy and lots of crab. The shrimp scampi was very buttery- like too buttery where it's oily and artery clogging. The crab cake sandwich had loads of crab in it and the soft shell crab was crispy! We decided to grab two dozen crabs to go. Our server (Morgan? Megan? Can't remember) was insanely sweet and nice. Would definitely come again read more

This was my first time eating Maryland crabs with my s/o and we hoped that it would be a perfect experience. Unfortunately, even though we came fairly early for dinner (I'm talking around 5), there was still a crazy wait. I didn't feel as though the host at the front was too approachable? She seemed like she didn't really care, which is unfortunate, because I do take service to heart. We ended up getting a table outside, which was alright, but I didn't feel like there was enough room, and we kept having flies come around our food. Another downside to eating outside. The table is also next to where people wait, so it just felt weird for us. We ended up getting the appetizer platter which was pretty good! I really enjoyed the hush puppies and my s/o liked most of what was on that plate. We were total amateurs when it came to cutting the crabs open, but had a fun first experience. Our server was also pretty good. The only downside to our server was that she took a while to come out with our check. Another pet peeve of mine. Maybe if we were seated inside with everyone else, we wouldn't have felt forgotten?! I don't know. If you haven't tried MD blue crabs and want to go to a touristy-like place, Foxy Fish definitely works. I may come back to give it a second shot, but I know there are other places that may have better service. read more

worst place I wish I could give zero stars, was visiting from out of state, and I felt that racism as soon as I walked in, it took them almost 40 minutes for me to sit down while other people were going in, will never recommend this place! read more

So 6 city slicks came down from NYC for a work project at SMO, everyone recommended The Foxy Fish. So I guess everyone in Maryland must know about this place. All I can say is just WOW. The food was amazing, from crab cakes to scallops, shrimp and hush puppies. The food was just amazing and the service was just top notch. Jess was awesome and really took excellent care of us. Thank you Jess Thank you Foxy Fish. read more

Came here and had the broiled seafood platter( shrimp scallops fish and crabcake). Here is the problem, the food was very bland aside from the crabcake which was decent. But the rest of the food tasted like it was thrown in a skillet with water and salt and that's it. Even the hushpuppies tasted like oil and were too hard. It's not that difficult to make this dish outstanding with just a little bit of effort and a pinch of creativity. My teenage kids can cook way better than this. I dine not just to simply get full, but also to enjoy flavors and satisfy my taste buds. I will say the waiting staff was fantastic in terms of service and attitude. 5 stars to them all the way. read more

This is a fantastic restaurant! We were looking for somewhere different to go and said let's try this place. The food was awesome, we had crabs And fish, and none of these meals disappointed! All the meals were cooked well, the wait staff was very attentive and the place looks really nice! All in all it was definitely worth the drive from from dunkirk. We will be back. read more

Service was good but ordered the crab dip and it was bland. The catch of the day however was delicious but anytime I'm at a seafood place, it's totally judged based on the crab dip. Debated on 2 stars but since my entree was good figured I'd mark it up one. read more

The Foxy Fish is a seafood restaurant owned by Debbie and David Buckler. The menu is quite extensive, offering various appetizers (such as mozarella sticks, chicken wings, rockfish bites, etc.), salads, sandwiches, subs, fried seafood baskets, steamed seafood, entrees (such as scallops, broiled platters, crab cakes, etc.), and desserts. They also have beer and wine available. The hubs and I came to check this place out for lunch, and started off with: Crab Truffles (lump crab meat with cheddar cheese, cream cheese, jalapenos, and panko bread crumbs, deep-fried and served with a side of remoulade sauce; definitely a heavier app, but it was pretty tasty with the generous amount of crab meat with a cheesy goodness); Bang Bang Shrimp (crispy fried shrimp tossed in the house's homemade creamy spicy sauce; this was literally one of my favorite apps of all time! The shrimp was large in size, perfectly battered and fried, and the spicy creamy sauce was just MONEY! Definitely a licking-the-plate type of a starter!); Hot Crab Dip (hot crab meat with cream cheese, topped with cheddar; served with toasted baguettes; this was just okay, as it was slightly bland; also, the toasted baguettes could have been more toasted and more crisp); and, Rockfish Bites (only when in season; these small bites of rockfish were covered with a homemade beer batter and fried; I wish the rockfish was somewhat seasoned (may be with salt) before being battered up). For our main entrees, we ordered: the Fried Shrimp (lightly breaded and deep-fried; same shrimp style used in Bang Bang Shrimp, this wasn't needed, as I preferred it with the spicy sauce!); Steamed Shrimp (had a nice Chesapeake Bay seasoning on them; these were of a nice size and perfectly steamed); a Crab Cake Platter (2 jumbo lump crabcakes; with your choice of having them broiled or fried; I recommend them having broiled, as it has a nice crisp top and you get to taste all of the grab! These were super tasty!); and fried scallops. Don't forget to get Hush Puppies as your side, as these come from a sweet southern recipe and served with a delicious cup of honey butter - perfectly fried and a yummy complement to your meal! We also got corn on the cob, too. We were stuffed, but we couldn't pass up on their housemade gigantic cupcakes (they also have sundaes and pie, too!)! I saw the little table by the hostess stand, where it had some of their cupcakes and the different flavors that they offered. I chose the Strawberry, the Apple Pie, and the Blueberry - oh boy, these were one of the best cupcakes I've had - super moist, and it definitely tasted like the flavors that they were labeled as! Our server, Ms. Michele, was super welcoming, sweet, and attentive! She checked up on us often and made sure we had everything. The restaurant itself is super cute, and I loved how they decorated the restaurant - the window and the wall decor! This is definitely a happening place and does get super packed during the lunch/dinner rush. I can't wait to go back! Plenty of parking in their private lot. +fresh seafood! +Bang Bang Shrimp +Hush Puppies +Crab Cakes (broiled) +Steamed Shrimp +homemade cupcakes! +ask for Ms. Michele +friendly staff +private lot for your vehicle read more

The seafood is fresh, seasoned well, and cooked to perfection! We highly recommend The Foxy Fish and will definitely be back!

I've been driving by this place for years and never thought to stop to eat. Five years after their opening (I believe in 2013, according to a framed review in their building), at the recommendation of a family friend, we had dinner there. The inside is a huge surprise from the outside. It was cute and quaint, clean and nicely-decorated, which was a big contrast from what the building looks like from the outside. The windows could be cleaned, and a lot of the graphics outside were faded from sun exposure, and I think the gravel parking lot brings down the "feel" of the place, too. DO NOT JUDGE THEM BY THE OUTSIDE. We had a party of seven, and were pleased to have a table ready for us almost immediately. They also had a sling/carrier for the baby's car-seat, and a booster seat for the toddler. I'd probably have preferred a highchair, especially since the booster didn't have any straps to secure it to the chair OR to secure the child in it, but I didn't ask if they had highchairs so that's on me. With the booster, they also supplied crayons and a menu/activity sheet, which ended up being great at distracting. NOW FOR THE ACTUAL FOOD. Kaitlyn was our server, and from the very beginning she made us feel comfortable and at ease. She answered all our questions about the menu knowledgeably (even the corny jokes my dad was making) and with a level of friendliness that you want from servers but don't often get. There was nothing that anyone at our table ordered that we didn't like. Everything was delicious. Based on what we'd gotten, I highly recommend: Crab Truffles (melt-in-your-mouth and not spicy at all despite listing jalapenos as an ingredient, which is a good thing for me but might be a downside for others) Calamari (perfect cooked, the breading was crunchy, but the calamari itself was tender and not overly-chewy) House Salad (with ranch dressing, nothing fancy, but was what I'd expect for a salad) Things I didn't try, but others at the table loved: Caesar Salad Fish & Chips Haddock Sandwich I had the Fried Seafood Platter, and it was HUGE and delicious. I ended up giving away samples of everything to others at the table because it was so much food for one person. Between the sharing and my own appetite, though, I cleared the plate (I mean, re-heating fried foods is never easy and that's the excuse I'm using). I'm not normally a fan of hush puppies, but even those were amazing. I'm not sure if their fries are twice-fried or have a special breading, but something about them was magical -- they were crisp on the outside but soft on the inside, and the texture of them was similar to Checker's/Rally's fries, which I loved. Miraculously, we still had room for dessert after everything. Almond Creek Cakery supplies cupcakes to the restaurant (we were told that it's run by the aunt of The Foxy Fish's owners) and I WANT MORE. Between the bunch of us, we shared three cupcakes (fruity pebbles, cookie dough, and chocolate), and they were all delicious -- moist cake with yummy frosting, and fun toppings AND delicious fillings. We left wondering how we'd managed to bypass this place for so long, and I'm already perusing the menu for what I'm going to try the next time I'm there. read more
