Roquefort tenderloin, shrimp and grits, and key key lime pie
Ericka S.

Amazing dinner experience. Chance introduced all of the house specials that had us anticipating our courses. I had the Roquefort tenderloins and my husband had the shrimp and grits. ABSOLUTELY wonderful!! We finished the meal with their special key lime pie and a limoncello. My night has been complete!!! We enjoyed every minute!!

Stinky Cheese Burger

Everything as great. Great food, great service and great ambience. Highly recommend if you're in St Michaels, MD and want a great burger. I love my stinky cheese burger.

Theo's in St Michael's has become our go to for special occasion celebrations. We have never had a less than perfect meal there. We celebrated our anniversary there this evening & it did not disappoint. Our waiter, Chance, is the ultimate professional. He is attentive but not disturbing. He makes recommendations and has always been spot on. He happily answers any questions you may have about the menu. The atmosphere in the restaurant is upscale but not stuffy. The entire staff is friendly. We ordered Caesar salad and shrimp cocktail, the Filet Mignon with a side of truffle fries. Everything was expertly prepared and delicious. Highly recommend making reservations as it gets busy, especially on the weekends.

In a town full of great restaurants, Theo's continues to stand out! A steak house with New Orlean's flair in a classic St Michael's setting with impeccable service! Theo's checks all the boxes! The BBQ shrimp complete with fresh baked bread for dipping is a must starter! The crab cakes are huge & up there with the best! All the steaks are incredible.

Shrimp tempura
Michael K.

My wife and I dined here on a late summer Wednesday evening. They aren't open every evening if the week so check ahead of time. Also probably wise to get a reservation although if you went before 6pm like we did you could probably get in. There is limited parking behind the restaurant as well as street parking. The public lots are probably a couple block walk away. We were seated on the first floor in the back dining room. We could see the full size bar and lots of people enjoying happy hour with $2 off all drinks. The dining room was pleasant with super comfy chairs and plenty of room. My got an old fashion from the HH menu while I got a glass of cab. For starters, we got the bread basket and shrimp tempura on a stick drizzled with a chipotle sauce. Our favorite was the warm garlic knots in the bread basket but the shrimp was also enjoyable. I had my sites set on a nice thick steak but got sidetracked by their Thanksgiving 365 entree. I couldn't resist and enjoyed turkey, stuffing, gravy, green beans, mashed potatoes and cranberries. I was transported to late November. Yummy. My wife chose their crab cake. The crab cake was more of a ball shape but enjoyable none the less. She actually enjoyed the accompanying corn and cooked tomatoes more. We skipped dessert here to grab a cone down the street. Service was excellent the entire meal and they took good care of us.

Date of visit: July 24, 2024 We were staying at a nearby resort for a few days and so our son bought us a $100 gift card here based on his experience with Theo's 7 years ago. What a cute place and we were seated by the window, which was wonderful. We ordered a Cosmo and Old Fashioned first. They were excellent. We ordered the fried pickles as an appetizer... they were spears, which was interesting and delicious. Then we saw that on Wednesday nights there is a Steak Diane special. For $45 you get two melt in your mouth filets with sauteed button mushrooms in a red wine demi glaze sauce, homemade silky mashed potatoes, huge Caesar salad and an incredible cheesecake with creme brulee topping (one went home with us!). It became apparent that it was a "no brainer" to order the special. Two glasses of the red house wine accompanied dinner so well. What a wonderful house wine! We were glad that we did and we will be back if ever in the area again.

6pm salmon with orzo -spinach and mini tomatoes  Cooked perfectly, nothing was over cooked!
Sansa S.

We also bought their stake and shrimp tempura and didn't take a picture of them, start eating it the moment arrived! It smelled so good, how could we pause! I would love to come back !

Truffle fries
Christie W.

Our favorite restaurant in St MICHAELS! The food is amazing and the restaurant is run incredibly well by an incredible manager. We always have five star food and service!

Wine
Omara R.

The rib-eye steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly! The oysters with Parmesan cheese was too cooked and over cheesy took away from the flavor of the oysters but the tempura shrimps were cooked perfectly and the seasonings were well balanced. The wine paired very well with the steak, the truffle fries was the BEST truffle fries we ever have! The Brussels sprouts were delicious well balanced with the balsamic vinegar, bacons; and walnuts; but a bit over cooked.

New Orleans BBQ Shrimp
Kizi N.

Our dinner experience was terrific! This is one of those spots that was so good that there really isn't much to say. The bread basket was delicious, red wine selection was good. We both ordered the Filet Mignon with Truffle Fries and Brussel Sprouts. We could tell that the food was freshly prepared because everything was so piping hot. The New Orleans BBQ Shrimp was delicious too. We love documenting our travels and foodie adventures so even after spending about 5 minutes taking videos and pictures of our food, the truffle fries were still hot! Very impressive. The filet mignon was just a tad bit overcooked (we requested medium well) but it was so so good. The Brussel Sprouts were very delicious. Portions were not small at all. We were able to take the rest of our meal home. The service was impeccable. Our server was Kate and she was very lovely. Strongly recommend Theo's for dinner in St. Michaels!

We did a quick day trip over to St. Michael's and this place won for having a clear Gluten Free…read moremenu! I love when I get the opportunity to have fried food while eating out. And that's exactly what I ordered. It wasn't overly busy, most folks were outside. We opted for inside because we had been outside most of the day already and we have an infant. I will absolutely be back!

On my very first night ever in St. Michaels, MD, I had two requirements for dinner…read more 1. I wanted a waterfront view. 2. I wanted shrimp salad. After a little searching, Foxy's Harbor Grille kept popping up as one of the top recommendations. Their website mentioned joining the waitlist online before arriving, and knowing it was the start of Fourth of July weekend, I figured a little planning couldn't hurt. I hopped on the waitlist before leaving my hotel and headed toward the harbor. I arrived a little before 5:00pm on Thursday afternoon in the middle of an absolutely brutal heat wave. Temperatures were over 100 degrees, and apparently everyone else in town had the good sense not to request outdoor seating. When the hostess couldn't find my name on the online waitlist, it didn't really matter because the covered deck overlooking the marina was completely empty. One request for an outside table later, and I was seated immediately with one heck of a view! My server was fantastic from start to finish. She was friendly, attentive and made sure I had everything I needed without ever making me feel rushed. For dinner, I ordered the Shrimp Roll ($21.00) with a side of black bean salad and a Diet Coke ($3.75). It turned out to be exactly the kind of meal I wanted after spending the day in triple-digit temperatures. The shrimp salad was outstanding! Big chunks of shrimp, perfectly dressed and seasoned without being drowning-in-mayo soupy. Just fresh, flavorful and incredibly satisfying. The portion was generous enough that I happily boxed up half to enjoy the next day. The black bean salad deserves its own little shout-out, too. Black beans, corn, peppers, cilantro and what tasted like a light, fresh vinaigrette made it the perfect companion to the chilled shrimp salad on such a hot evening. But...let's be honest. I had already spotted the Sky High Peanut Butter Pie ($12.00) while stalking the menu before dinner arrived. As someone whose personality is approximately 63.8% peanut butter, there was absolutely no chance I was leaving Foxy's without ordering it! A few minutes later, my server returned carrying what can only be described as a monument to peanut butter. This slice stood at least three inches tall, topped with whipped cream and packed with chopped peanut butter cups throughout a rich, dense peanut butter filling. It was glorious! It was excessive! It was everything I hoped it would be! And yes...I ate the whole thing. Even I was a little impressed with myself! The view from the covered deck overlooking the marina made the entire experience even better. Sitting there watching boats come and go while enjoying dinner felt like the perfect introduction to St. Michaels. Foxy's has exactly the kind of laid-back, waterfront atmosphere you hope to find when visiting a Chesapeake Bay town. One thing I also appreciated was how welcoming the restaurant felt for everyone. During my visit I saw solo diners like myself, couples, families with kids and groups of friends all enjoying themselves. Their menu is incredibly diverse, too, so just about everyone should be able to find something they'll enjoy. My total came to just $40.24 before tip for dinner, dessert and a drink, which I found to be very reasonable considering the quality of the food, the waterfront location and the generous portions. If I had one piece of advice, it would be to eat a little earlier if you can, especially during holiday weekends. I have a feeling this place fills up quickly once the evening rolls around. Highly recommend Foxy's Harbor Grille if you're visiting St. Michaels! Great food, great service, beautiful waterfront views and one seriously unforgettable slice of peanut butter pie. I'll absolutely be back!

For our entrees, we ordered steaks. My husband had the NY strip and I had 13 oz filet, we ordered them medium well but felt like it had more pink than we desired. I wish the steak was more flavorful. For our sides, we had French fries and spinach. We appreciated that we were given a delicious complimentary dessert as it was our first tine. Street parking is available and they have a busy bar as soon as you walk in . It's definitely a date night or celebratory vibe.

As we walked through the restaurant to our table, I couldn't keep my eyes off the artwork displayed (they have an affection for peacocks). Our server Tiarra had the brightest smile and warmest spirit all evening. Our bread and drinks didn't take long to come out, and our entrees came not too long afterward. The Pinot Noir was smooth. My ribeye was juicy, jam-packed with flavor, and cutting it was like cutting butter. The fried green tomatoes were a great choice as well. My mom truly enjoyed her evening, and we'll certainly be making our way back.

Food was hit or miss. A medium-rare steak came tepid and was redone (after some odd discussion…read moreabout how to do it) and arrived rare..really rare. My mistake; expecting hot food these days is a distant memory. I mean they tried but had no idea, I guess. Plates were not warmed; an order of bbq ribs was also barely warm. I know steak is supposed to be served hot on hot plates but whatever. The sides were delicious; mashed potato, grilled asparagus, mac n cheese. The oysters in the app mix plate were average at best, but overall it was an exciting appetizer for a party we were having. The mashed potatoes were more exciting in appearance than the decor, which was bland as vanilla pudding. If this is vying to be a premier steak house like Del Frisco or Ruth's Chris, a long way to go. Didn 't feel very posh except for the bill at the end.

I feel like it does good business with out-of-towners and business travelers who are looking for that steakhouse feel and don't really care about the food. The rolls are fine, but nothing to write home about. The pork belly was mushy, flabby, and bland. The oysters Rockefeller were bad. They're covered with...something. It was either about a quarter cup of poorly cooked bechamel for some reason or the soggiest gross bread in lieu of breadcrumbs. I wrapped up the meal with a maple crème brûlée. Also not good. There was almost no caramelized crust, and the custard itself was thick and bland. More like bad vanilla pudding than anything else. The dishes all sound good on paper but they just don't have good cooks or quality control. It's mediocre hotel banquet food masquerading as a high end steakhouse. The bartenders were friendly and provided good service. That's why this isn't a one star review.

I believe our waitress was the daughter of the owner. She answered every single one of my questions even why pickles and cheese are offered as a side to blue crabs (turns out the locals, just love it and give him something to snack on as they peel and crack away at the crabs...huh, go figure!). I ordered an orange crush (a must when in Maryland) and my husband had the crab claw beer on tap. We were pretty hungry at this point and we ordered the old bay chicken wings, a half a pound of large steamed shrimp six oysters Casino and a jumbo lump crabcake sandwich and the crab fluff. Everything was served with plentiful amounts of old bay and dipping sauces. We never even had to ask. The wings were meaty and the oysters are in season and very plump! Everything was well seasoned. And then after the meal, the server brought over a complementary slice of cheesecake since I mentioned it was my birthday!
