I can't speak for the menu food. We just had the buffet only yesterday. Although I've been coming here 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. read more

I like the food, I live near by and order to go, but I am disgusted at how often they get the orders wrong. Tonight, they forgot half my order. I'm equally mad at myself for not double checking the bag, because I know they don't. I drove back and got stupid excuses with the rest of our dinner. Then when I got home and opened boxes a discovered that they got nothing right, except a one side order. ....very sad. read more

We were in the area, ate here for the first time Sept 29 (Sunday). I always seek out seafood if possible and this place did not disappoint. It is very casual, which I like. I don't care for pretentious expensive places. My husband and I each ordered Taste of the Sea - very reasonable price of $20 for crab, fish and shrimp, comes with two sides. I had a salad as one side, it was really nice and not skimpy with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, carrot, onion, croutons. I think the ranch dressing might be homemade because it was delicious, if not I want to know what brand they are buying! The coleslaw is sweet and creamy based which is not my favorite, but that's ok. The seafood we ordered broiled, all was cooked perfectly and it was wonderful! read more

I have been to Wesley's countless times over the years. The food isn't the best, but it certainly isn't bad either. I've always liked to play some keno and watch while I eat. Then grab some Powerball or Mega Millions tickets and a bottle of something on the way out. Was in on a Friday night when it was realively busy. It took 15 minutes for a server to get drinks, 35 minutes for an appetizer and another 35 minutes for the main meal. I looked up and realized from the time I sat down until the time I finished my dinner, almost an hour and a half had elapsed - way too long. The food was good though. 3 stars because I had great servers in the past at Wesley's, so I know it was just an off night - it happens. Of course I will definitely return, and I will write my next review - I am hoping for a 4-5 star next time. read more

The prices are great! Food is good. This is not a bar to sit at if you are not up for the whole "boys will be boys" excuse for inappropriate comments. read more

The waitress, Jane, was fantastic! The food was wonderful! Everything was brought out in a timely manner and was nice and hot. We could barely walk when we left because the portions are so big. read more

Good food, good service and chill environment! I recommend for a night with family or friends

Disappointed to say the least, I've never ate here before despite living in the area 25 years and let me tell you I wish I had kept my streak going. I ordered the crab imperial, with squash, zucchini and carrots as my first side and rice as my second side. The crab imperial was full of shells to the point it wasn't edible, when I told the waitress she was very nice about it and offered something different so I ordered a crab cake thinking it way be better... it wasn't it was also full of shells. All in all I'm very disappointed at the quality of the food. The only redeeming factor about this place was the waitress she was a sweetheart. read more

My husband and I went to Wesley's a couple of days ago for dinner. Both of our meals were awesome ! I had crab imperial and my husband had stuffed flounder, we both had stuffed baked potato and salad ~ and we also had fresh hot buttered rolls -- yummy -- I have had the drunken clams before and they are also very tasty -- We have also had many of their soups and a couple of beers at the bar when it is cold outside -- it is a cute bar and nice restaurant-- it beats driving to Newark or Chesapeake City seafood restaurants that charge more money -- Cheers! read more

Haven't been there in decades!! Came for the car show and wound up going in for a meal. Service seems a little slow on the restaurant side, more likely to only having 1 server. However......had a crabcake sandwich which was incredible! Didn't notice any filler,, just pure crab meat. Except for going farther down along the Chesapeake, hard pressed to find a better one. Made up for the wait. French fries were nice and crisp. So yes, crabcakes and seafood in general are not cheap, expect to spend a little more than a burger. read more

I had an excellent steak cooked perfectly with a great craft beer. They have over 100 craft beers to pick from. The place is clean I got fast friendly service. The patrons are nice too. I got 20% off by joining their VIP Text Club. Now I get a FREE Desert on my Birthday! read more

my family goes here all the time and raved about the place. we went sunday and i was not that impressed. the crab cake had no seasoning at all, and the waitress was less than attentive. maybe it was a bad day, not sure i will try it again though. read more

Great evening out with the family for dinner! They really do have a family friendly menu, seafood, crab legs, burgers, flat breads and pizza. Food was awesome and the renovations are amazing. The dining room is opened for more of a pub feel and casual atmosphere. read more

See all

Went here to celebrate a family members birthday. Thought it looked like a nice restaurant for the occasion. I ordered the fresh flounder with a potato and veggies. Plus $3.50 for the Salad bar Salad options were okay. Soup was okay. Finally got my meal For. $17 meal I didn't expect for my food to "frozen food" The veggies were veggies from a dollar frozen bag from the grocery store. Same with my twice baked potato. Looked like something that came frozen just heated up. Same for the fish. Bland, small, seemed like something from the freezer. Idk just expected something better. If I wanted a frozen food meal I would of just stayed home. Won't go back again for the dinner, but he bad size was fine. read more

Wesleys has been around forever and though the place may be a little dated, the food is great, the wait staff is friendly and their prices are fair! Their seafood buffet is an awesome bargain but whether you want a club sandwich, hamburger or steak, you can count on it being cooked how you ask and it delivered by attentive wait staff! Its one of our favorite places!! read more

Hi Pals! Great place to eat and have a few beers. The staff was friendly and clean except for the bartender who ignored me then overcharged me. read more

Great family restaurant. While I was living in Pennsylvania, I would frequent Wesley's twice a month. Typical American menu. They also have a seafood buffet night, very inexpensive! read more

Took Mom here for Mother's Day. The food was outstanding as was the wait-staff and the desserts were to die for! It was fairly pricey though and for the $$ the place needs the paneling tore down and a modernization done on the inside. Give the place a face-lift and it would have been 5 stars. read more

There were 2 hostesses and we were seated right away. We waited a looooong time for a waitress to show up and take drink orders. The food was average. The interior reminded me of an out dated country club. Located right next to a liquor store. The beer selection was less than inspiring. If the service had been better, it would have made up for the average food. read more

This rating is based soley off their take our beer store!! Employees nice..good selection of drinks. Prices average. Late hours a plus.

Great place for any type of food or beer. One stop shop and local. Love the recent renovations and hope to see more!

My wife and I joined friends on Valentines Day at Wesley's. It was an enjoyable evening and the seafood appetizer and entree I had was great. The stuffed mushrooms with crab meat was very tasty and the seafood rose' was excellent. Nice portions for both were filling and delicious. It was my first time there and I would go back again. read more

The place is run down and is in need of a cleaning and real updating. The musty smell in the restaurant made it hard to enjoy the good food. This place is close to my house but one visit has turned me off from wanting to go back. read more

We've passed this place many times over the years & have always said, " we should stop & eat there sometime, I hear it's really good". Words I soon regretted. My wife & I just left a late night affair in the area & still needed dinner. We agreed to finally go to Wesley's. Although we walked in @ 9:15 PM and they closed @ 10 PM, that should never be a reason for a lousy meal. As we stood three feet away from the hostess, who was pre-occupied BS-ing with the waitress for almost 5 minutes, we noticed only 4 people in the dining room which should have been our first warning. I finally had to "cough" to get the hostess's attention. She asked where would we like to sit since every booth & table was available but one and I asked for a cozy table since we just walked in from 30 degree weather. She sat us at a table next to a cold drafty window....warning # 2. My wife ordered the Soup & Salad Bar, I ordered the Jumbo Fried Oyster entree & twice baked potato, w/Soup & Salad bar. The clam chowder was OK (for canned). The lettuce was wilted but disguised with spinach leaves...clever but obvious....warning # 3. Since I started with the S & S bar, our waitress told me to let her know when I was ready for my Oyster entree, since it would only take about 10 minutes to make. Got finished with the soup and picked through the salad ( for the not too wilted stuff) and told the waitress she could put my Jumbo Oyster order in. In no more than 3 minutes, she brought my dinner out, which told me they already cooked it 20 minutes ago...warning # 4.. The (6) "JUMBO" oysters were about one inch in diameter. The fried batter coating looked like they had been thru the deep fryer several times. They sat in a puddle of grease leaving the underside of of "crispy batter" gross & mushy. After trying to eat only three of the "little nasty things", I was afraid to eat anymore of the semi-warm gut busters. ( The number of "red flags" have already passed the halfway mark) ...so, I went to the twice baked potato (that had been on our table about two minutes. It was cold through out the middle...like refrigerator cold. I asked the waitress to take it back & she said they will make me another one. A few minutes later she brought out a "freshly" new potato and I dug into the center to get another bite of cold (not warm)...cold potato. I pushed my obviously unfinished/uneaten food away. Our waitress came over (I was expecting to be asked, "was there something wrong with your meal"?), asked us if we wanted desert? No concerns, no apologies. My wife & I looked at each other with a "you've got to be kidding" kind of look, & asked for for our $47 check, that took everything I had to try to not be an impolite.... A-- whole, and paid. Well, the next time we pass Wesley's, we'll know not to ever stop there again & I would suggest you do the same. We eat out at a lot at many different places at many different levels, this was without a doubt, the worst meal we have had in the past 30 years of our marriage.... we rate as DISGUSTING! I'd really like to know where these other people ate who give this place raving reviews. Is there another Wesley's out here? read more

We stopped here on the recommendation of Ken at Fair Hills stable where we had been on a great, but hot, trail ride. We were seated immediately, and ordered the crab cakes with an add-on lobster tail (only 10.99 to add the lobster), which came with the salad bar. We had the crab soup from the salad bar, and we really loved it. The greens could have been fresher, but there was a great and otherwise very fresh selection at the salad bar. The crab cakes and the lobster were delicious, but I have to say what really stole our hearts was the truly homemade and scrumptious apple pie. Buttery, not too sweet, and cinnamon-rich, with a nice crunch from the granola crust. Nice find! read more

The worst food I ever put in my mouth. For the same price you can eat at bonefish or fogo de chao Total waste of money to sit in an antique church pew they called a booth. Take your pepto with you your going to need it. They obviously don't eat their own food. They are robbing local people who don't know any better. read more

What a strange set up. A vape shop, liquor store, bar, and restaurant all in one building, but seperated into their own rooms. They advertise that you can choose from 350 wines for dinner. Not bad. Decent beer selection. We went for lunch and the food was very good. People seem to go here for the all you can eat seafood dinner on I think it is Wed and Thurs nights. I think they said $30 per person. Like others said here, when you first walk in you get the impression of old diner. It is aged looking. And the place has that musty kitchen dish cleaning smell. So the first impression is not the best, but the food was really decent. Our server was good and the food came out fairly quickly. I think I would give them 3.5 stars if I could, but I will be nice. read more

Its alright , not outstanding. Prices a little high for being attached to a liquor store. My mom seems to think its "high class" cecil county...which to me is an oxymoron, but i have never had "bad food" from there. Friendly staff , kind of dark lurky interior. read more

Id give the food 5/10. The raw bar selections were good. Oysters were my favorite along with the crab mac and cheese and the snow crab. The smoked brisket was very good. I could tell about half of the food was not homemade, bought prepared and pre breaded or portioned. The open chafing pan setup let a lot of the food to be cold. More then most of the items were room temp/cold.They should setup a more functional buffet system that helps keep items fresh/hot. Shrimp cocktail was mushy, and the stuffed flounder didnt seem homemade. The building and decor are very outdated and tacky. It took away from the whole experience. Price was ok considering the pros/ cons read more

Came here Sunday morning for brunch, something new they just started doing and it was delicious! Prices were very reasonable and bloody Mary's were perfect. The staff was very nice and overall a great experience I'll definitely go again! read more

My parents and I have been coming here for the seafood buffet for over a decade. Although lack of consistence is sometimes an issue, most of the time it's delicious. The fried shrimp, steamed shrimp, crab legs, and clams are great. Sometimes the clams casino can be a bit dry though. Prime rib is good and service has always been good in my opinion. It's usually on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. read more

I came here to conduct a breakfast meeting in the dining room. They're closed on Monday! My dumb mistake - but Jack in the liquor store took me in hand and got us set up in the bar area complete with a covered banquet table. All the staff were very accommodating and friendly. I am looking forward to coming here again . . this time when the dining is open and we can take advantage of the good eats. read more

Mom used to love going there back in the day............But that's just it.......back on the day it might have been a great place to go for a meal and what ever, but these days, I would just have to describe it as 'Seen much better days'......and that includes the quality of food as well as décor. Yes, I am talking from experience. Sorry Wesley's but the polish is gone, and everything about it is outdated, and the food is 'meh'. read more

Food was some of the worst I've had, worse than diner food. Extremely over-priced, I could have had a big steak dinner at outback for what they charged. Service was also lacking. Place is old and outdated decor. read more

Nice diamond in the rough. Very polite staff. Good soup and salad bar. Food homemade. Good place for location.

My family loves Wesleys. We've been going there for a really long time. The food is always good and fresh and the wait staff is very nice. My husband and I had our wedding reception here and everyone loved it. It is a nice clean environment with really great food. The soup and salad bar was a big hit at the wedding as well. :) read more

Just called and asked to be transferred to the vape shop. The man on the other end was immediately impatient with me and yelled "ya gotta speak up I can't hear ya". I'm not going to to stop going here, but whomever was manning the phone needs to learn not to bark at customers. If I ever talked like that to a customer at my place of business I'd be fired immediately. Learn some manners, sir. read more

My husband and I eat at Wesley's often especially for anything special. Our favorite there is Wed. night seafood buffet- the food is always good- the wait staff is great. If you want a good meal you can't go wrong here. read more

We have been going to Wesley's for about 25 years; the food is always the same GREAT! Love their crab cakes! and of course we always play Keno while we're there. If you haven't tried Wesley's do yourself a favor, you won't regret it!! read more

Always can come in here no matter what day of the week it is, always great food, great services, and always a good time. Very friendly environment! read more
