Thursday's Bar & Grill

We've been here a handful of times, and it's been a bit of a mixed bag. We came this past Friday,…read moreand it was not a good experience. My husband and I traveled over an hour by boat to celebrate his birthday. He knew he wanted a crab cake sandwich and he had already picked his drink out from the menu on their Facebook. We arrived, ordered our drinks and the server came back and said they couldn't make the drink he ordered. No big deal. He ordered another drink and we ordered the crab dip. The dip came out extremely quickly, and was barely warm. The bread they served it with was an odd choice, it was so soft. Not a bread for dipping. The dip was also full of shells. So then we ordered our entrees, they tell my husband they're out of crab and don't have crabcakes....a waterfront restaurant is out of crab cakes? What about the crab dip we had just ordered? That tells me that dip wasn't fresh. He ended up getting the smoked Rachel. The sandwich itself he said was fine. We shared his fries and they were soggy. I ordered a wedge salad, and the dressing was gross. I don't even know what it was, it didn't taste like any blue cheese dressing I've ever had before. It was so sweet it was nearly inedible. It tasted like Cole slaw dressing that had been made with too much sugar. There was another table within ear shot of us and a patron was complaining about everything. I felt bad for the server so for that reason, I didn't say anything. I just asked for a box and threw away my salad when we got home. We certainly won't be making anymore special trips just to eat here. The creek crushes were good.

We were able to grab a spot on the patio before the bourbon activation that was taking place. It was giving local hang out, beach town vibes Our server was great - very attentive and helpful with suggestions. We ordered hush puppies to start with a Paloma & Blackberry Margarita. The hush puppies were delicious! Slightly sweet with a cinnamon whipped butter that was amazing! The cocktails left a lot to be desired - sweeter than anything and the taste of the purees/juice was off for both. Our lunch options were fabulous! My mom had the Southern Fish & Chips (I think it was catfish) and I had Barramundi for the first time. Pleasantly surprised with no complaints! This is a great option if you like seafood and want that down home vibe

Overall, a decent place to get a drink and some good food to accompany.

Abner's Sea Side Crab House

A few weeks after moving to the DC region, my husband and I decided to make a trip out to…read moreChesapeake Beach just for the crab and the experience. On our first try, we got lost in DC and never found the correct freeway to get to the beach--3 hours wasted! Second try-- same deal. Finally, we got smart phones and figured out how to get East of DC. The following is our 100% factual experience. When we pulled into the dirt parking lot of Abner's Crab House, I could tell my husband was already re-thinking the our restaurant choice. The decor from the outside looks rustic and authentic so I talked him into getting lunch at Abner's (we're new to the East coast and just HAD to try some crabs...). We were seated outside near a tributary and some trash cans that were swarming with flies and smelled much worse than low-tide. There was one other table of people outside near us. At this point, I revealed to my husband that on the East Coast, people straight up crack and eat whole crabs (this offended his Mid-Western sensibilities) and he ordered a crab-cake sandwich. I ordered 6 whole crabs and our waitress taught me how to smash them with a mallot,"remove their lungs", and eat the meat. I was feeling VERY cave-woman at this point. Husband's face? Priceless. The food was nothing special to me, it was a new experience to eat crabs this way but I could not get over the smell of the trash cans and the flies. About half-way through our meal, the most surreal and bizarre thing happened. A little boy and his mother brought out a karaoke machine, set it up about 4 feet from us, and the mother started belting into the microphone. Since it was far too loud for me to hear my own thoughts, let alone speak with my husband: I continued my crab-smashing/lung removing lunch in silence. The next thing we know, the little boy puts on a top-hat and starts singing and dancing to several Michael Jackson songs. The performance was complete with crotch-grabs and moon-walking. Remember there was ONE other table of people sitting outside... Weirdest. Day. Ever.

They have dinning room seating, bar seating (inside and pier side) and outdoor seating (pier side and on the roof of the pier bar). Plenty of space to accommodate large parties. I found this place because of the fried green tomatoes and they did not disappoint. The tomatoes were full of flavor and topped with some delicious shrimp salad. We ordered the chili orange crush wings. They were big!! The flavor kept me saying "these are REALLY good". For the main course I went with the snow crab steamer and a side of applewood bacon collard greens. First of all, I should have ordered two of the collards. I was finished before I knew I had started. They were cooked just right , gor me! The potatoes that come in the steamer met the same fate, buttered seasoned goodness. Service was friendly and fast. I can't wait to check this place out in the warmer weather. Hope I can find a parking spot :)

We were seated immediately. For starters we ordered 2 crab dips, 2 orders of fried green tomatoes, & 2 orders of crispy wings (Old Bay). Our non-alcoholic beverages included Pepsi products (no Coca-Cola ), ginger ale but no ginger beer. All of the appetizers were on point with flavor & texture. Also the Old Bay chicken wings were not as salty as other places serve them. I ordered the crab cake sandwich & onion rings. I had to box my crab cake because the small plates filled me up. I heated it in a pan later with a little olive oil spray and it was good. Our generous shipmate took care of thei bill so I'm not sure if splitting was an option. This was my first visit but definitely not my last. I enjoyed the relaxed vibes and proximity to the resort & dock.
