Happened to stop in on a Friday evening when live music was featured. Listened to performers Rick & Connie as they played popular standards and some golden oldies--and the dance floor was noticeably filled with folks enjoying themselves. Obviously there's a lot of locals who flock here. Very friendly staff, not pretentious. Ordered the crab cake dinner which had 2 cakes made of quality lump meat; nice. The green beans that came with them however were overdone, hard. Also had a French onion soup gratinee that was okay. For dessert, I found the lemon meringue pie to be decent. Their strawberry lime margarita mocktail is good. If I ever need to get a meal in the future while traveling in the area, I'd pull over again and eat here. The welcoming spirit of this place is memorable.

Don't use the online ordering via their site. I placed an order at 5:43pm for a 7:15 pm pickup…read more Arrived at 7:15pm and was told the kitchen was jammed and that it was going to be a bit for the food. Waited 30 minutes sitting at the bar, no update or apology offered during the wait. I then asked how much longer and was eventually told a few more minutes, but they have a "new manager," so things were backed up. I've worked in a restaurant before, I understand mistakes happen. To not receive an apology stunned me, honestly. I asked to speak to manager and he told me that I needed to understand they received the order at 7:15pm and they were hosting a private event so it's not their fault. I was more stunned. I showed him on the receipt the 543pm placement time and the 7:15pm pick up time. He told me again they did not receive the order until 7:15 despite the website, receipt recording all this information. Unsurprisingly, some stuff was missing and needed to be added to complete the order. I was given an apology as I walked out by manager, but very poor experience overall. Avoid the online ordering.

I can't speak for the menu food. We just had the buffet only yesterday. Although I've been coming…read morehere since the 1970s, I even had my 16th birthday party here, and a company Christmas party. I was extremely disappointed in the buffet all around. They list what MAY be available on the buffet. They advertise it as a seafood buffet. Well, there were no crab legs, although you could purchase them in addition to the the already pricey $39 "seafood" buffet (for the meager offerings). No crabs. No rockfish. No clam chowder. No shrimp skampi. No seafood salad. None of the more expensive items. Basically, bottom of the barrel offerings, and nothing that we went there for. I left there hungry and feeling ripped off. The only really good thing where the raw oysters. And theyre damn near impossible to ruin. All of the shrimp were over cooked. Mealey and dry. The creamy seafood bowties were inedible. The fake scallops were dry, tough, and very fishy. And as per the rest of the shrimp, they were cooked to death. I will say the garden salad, while simple, was pretty good. There was no ceaser. The fried oysters were the absolute worst ever. Over cooked, bad batter, dry and tasteless. The roasted oysters with a thick chunk of rubbery bacon, were hard to tell what they were. The clams casino were just ok. So much topping that it was hard to find the tiny little clam under all that. The so called "crab balls" were stuffed with a very dry tasteless crackers or bread crumbs but they should be called bread crumb balls. Even the seafood chowder? It was hard to tell as most things were unmarked or mismarked. The chowder was a very failed attempt. Slightly fishy, overcooked (whatever the tasteless meat was). And disgustly overly thickened. Worst I've ever had. I did try the red bliss potatoes. Were they boiled? Very plain, but edible. The canned green peas were what you'd expect. The cooks haven't ruined them yet. Now for the none seafood dishes. Chicken cordon Bleu? Eh. Roast beef? Dry tough and covered in canned gravy. Stuffed shells? Overly creamy and not very good. I took a small serving of anything I tried so I wouldnt waste much. I gave up after 2 sample plates. I find it hard to believe that a restaurant thats been around this long, could in good conscious, even attempt to pawn that way over priced sub Sysco quality food as a seafood buffet. Overcooked tasteless shrimp, clams muscles and oysters, especially cooked as poorly as all of these offerings do not make up a seafood buffet. I must add, the staff was 5 stars. Very friendly and attentive. No complaints there. In summation, I feel like the generalized menu, lead you to believe there would be some decent choices. But they cheapened it down so badly with very poor quality food that there was no reason to go back up. Poor selection, tiny buffet, very poor quality food, unmarked, mismarked, and very unappealing. I dont know who runs this place now, but its a far cry from what it used to be. I shouldn't have gone. This experience ruined my memories. I still can't get over anybody pawning this garbage off as a buffet, let alone a seafood buffet. For $10 less, I can literally get ten times the options with 100% fresh seafood at several nearby places. Oh, and I almost forgot. Who cooks a beautiful salmon filet so long that you have to gulp down a drink with it so it doesn't get stuck in your throat? 1 star. And thats being very generous. Now if your somebody that enjoys gulping down lots and lots of mediocre food at a ridiculous price, this place my be for you.

Chesapeake City is a real hidden gem, and the center of its crown must be the Bayard House…read more Eighteenth Century is construction, sitting on a knoll above the C&D Canal, its picturesque solid manse is a pleasure to enter and a delight to sit on the enclosed back porch for lunch or dinner. It wasn't busy on an overcast rainy Thursday, and the staff took great care of us with brief history lesson and tips on what to see and do while in town. The weather kept our walking to a minimum, but what we saw was pure Americana. Lunch was also very good. We shared a new recipe for Brussel Sprouts that was delicious with bacon and balsamic mixed throughout. The tart, slightly bitter, mildly sweet composition hit the spot. Too, we shared a fresh Rockfish Sandwich, that was thinly coated and fried with something like aioli spread across the top, with pickles for contrast to the white fish filet. Tasty. Right beneath the back porch in what appears to be the basement, was the Hole in the Wall Bar, right next to another larger dining room that opened out onto a small patio for better weather, and just beyond the wide canal. We checked it out, but it wasn't quite ready for customers at that hour. If you enjoy American history in a picturesque colonial setting, check out Chesapeake City and Bayard House. Its unassuming charm is captivating.

First time in Chesapeake City. My main issue with this restaurant is the food. The prices are kinda…read morehigh (which makes sense since the restaurant is on the water), but you would expect the food quality to reflect the price. We started with crab bisque and raw oysters. The crab bisque was $16 for a cup. It was gray, mostly tasteless, and the crab pieces were microscopic. Definitely didn't taste like crab bisque. It was more like something out of can. The oysters came and their shells were huge, but the actual oysters were tiny. And they didn't taste like oysters -- I actually wanted to add salt because they didn't taste briny at all. We finished with the BLT, which was great. The tomatoes were beautiful and red all the way through, the bread was fresh, and the bacon was cooked perfectly. It definitely could have used more bacon, but overall the BLT was good.

The appetizers were great, my only negative note is I wish the soup was hotter esp with it being a bisque. There were nice chunks of lobster in it though, the salad was well dressed and refreshing and the fried goat cheese was piping hot and served with a marmalade which was delicious. For mains, I ordered the pancetta wrapped cod and Star got the gnocchi. The gnocchi was delicious and pillowy, the tomato confit was quite salty on its own. My cod was well cooked and very flaky, I wish the pancetta was crispy. It seems like the pancetta was just wrapped around after the fish was cooked which I found odd. The ratatouille underneath was well seasoned and delicious. Our server was super sweet and attentive, the service was great.
