10. Dellis Bar & Grill
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By CFofLL
Dellis was recommended by the desk staff of the nearby Country Inn and Suites and it lived up to their recommendations. You are supposed to get a 10% discount as a hotel guest but we forgot to ask (probably too hungry!). They were having their annual Oktoberfest specials and it was very crowded with folks enjoying very large plates of German specialties. Our server, Danielle, was very pleasant and helpful in explaining the menu and we opted for the crab skins and the knockwurst. Portions are generous. The crab skins were very good the knockwurst which they buy from a local German butcher was served with sauerkraut and German potatoes. I thought the knockwurst was the best I have ever had. They have a very tempting dessert menu but we had no room. If passing through again at mealtime will try to go again.

Best crab seasoning ever. Big heavy crabs. If your from out of town Bill's is a must go to for crabs. A staple in eastern Baltimore county for crabs. Frankly eastern Baltimore county is the best in Maryland for crabs & Bill's is in the top 2. Love this place.

So this is a mixed review. The food special was amazing.. soup, app, 2 collosal crab cakes, and dessert for $35. the usual cost of just the 2 crab cakes is $30. So, I can not complain about the food. We had a party of 12, with one server. She tried her best, but couldn't seem to keep up. Our drinks sat empty for a food portion of the meal, a personal pet peeve of mine. We had to send back one entree of crab cakes as they were burnt. She gave us carryout boxes before we even got dessert. The food was really good, but not so keen o. The service.

Friend brought me here. I'm the guy who doesn't get seafood at the seafood restaurant. I got chicken parm. It was huge and awesome. Sauce was great and the rolls were good. My friends were raving about their food as well. Bartender was awesome. Love the celeb pics on the wall

On a drizzly Friday evening, we headed to Brewerâs Landing for a social gathering for the Harley Owners Group. It was disappointing that we could not sit out on the patio overlooking the water due to the weather. Nevertheless, the staff at Brewerâs made us feel so welcome and took such excellent care of our large group of about 30. Brittany was the main server, and she was just incredible. How she managed to keep everyone and their drink and food order straight was beyond me. She did it effortlessly. The Seafood Club Wrap had my name on it. The wrap had a fried crab cake, shrimp salad, bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce & tomato. My husband really likes Cheese Steak subs, so that was what he ordered. Both came with chips and a pickle. We were very satisfied. Many in our group said the Friday Night Special of 10 Butterfly shrimp with one side was a steal at $7.99.We thought the food and service were terrific. Thanks for taking such good care of our large group!

Quiet, friendly, out-of-the-way, with a great view of the Chesapeake Bay. The Island View has been in business for over 80 years, over 40 by the same family. It was built in the 1920's as a dance hall and prohibition bar. From the 40's-60's is served as a

A group of 5 of us went to dinner to celebrate our birthdays. We had reservations, but when we arrived, the restaurant was empty. We were welcomed and even though we were the only ones there, we never felt like we were being hurried out. Four of us ordered the salmon dish, and it was delicious. And the view of the water and sunset is worth the trip. Weâll definitely be back!

We revisited crazy tuna to have dinnerWith Friends. Our friends picked the restaurant because it is not far from their business. My husband I have have been there before and the food was horrible.But we agreed and thought we would try again (my last review for crazy tuna wasNot good and they responded 2 years ago and said they would try to improve)Unfortunately, they did not !!!My husbandâs shrimp salad was made from what appeared to be Canned shrimp and my cream of crab was the worst soup I ever hadIt was filled with lumps of something-Flour maybe ??? No crabmeat at allAnd it was not served hot, but warmNot a very good wine selection. The waitress was great and the band was good. Not many people were there for a Friday night that should have been a clueBest to say if you want a beer try the new Guinness blonde and just go to experience the bar NOT THE FOODWe spent $100 for dinner per coupleWe will not go back!!Hi Doreen, thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your most recent experience.

We went here tonight to celebrate a couple friends' birthdays. Most of the group shared a couple dozen extra-large crabs. Everyone seemed pleased. The rest of us got the Monday night crabcake special. I thought it was positively delicious and well worth the price. Most of the table also got either the cream of crab soup, the maryland crab soup, or half and half. I heard nothing but positive comments. Our seever recommended the Spicy Thai Shrimp soup. It was delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed it, despite being drenched in sweat. I'll definitely get it again!Happy Birthday to your friends. Thank you for joining us here at Costas Inn for their special event.We are so happy to hear that you all had an amazing time and had great service. We hope that you all will be out to dine with us again soon.Have a wonderful weekend.

We have been here many times before however, ownership has decided that Franch Fries must be coming from France how else as a side dish are they charging nearly as much as the meal ? They seem to only want you to purchase the most expensive dinner or drinks that are overpriced and under delivered anyway. I guess they survive because it is summer and they are on the water but parking is inadequate and the new management team seems to want to live on past history. If you do not order mixed drinks your server vanishes and never returns.

For lunch one day, we decided that we wanted really good crab cakes and some locals suggested this place. What a pleasant surprise! Nestled in a neighborhood that isnât really planned for crab cakes... itâs mostly houses lies this low unassuming place that looks more like a little Bavarian cottage than it does a seafood place. The crab cakes in the end were perfect!Lump crab meat - no cheap meat here from the back of the crab. Just nice big lumps. No fillers like a lot of breadcrumbs. Not a lot of mayo to mask the taste of crab. Not a lot of Old Bay seasoning to taste like a spice cabinet. What you get is a delicious, crab cake that tastes like.... like.... crab!With that I got fries - which were delicious and fried that moment they plated my order. All I can say is try it. Youâll thank me later. Ohhhh by the way.... itâs not fancy. But did I mention delicious?
