January 31, 2020 Dorsey Hagwood

Find out what Pub restaurants to try in California. California is a census-designated place and community in St. Mary's County, Maryland, United States. The population was 11,857 at the 2010 census, an increase of 27.4% from the 2000 census. California continues to grow with the spread of population out from the older adjacent community of Lexington Park and the growth in both technology-related and defense-related jobs at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station. There are department stores and numerous shopping centers situated along Maryland Highway 235 ("Three Notch Road"). Maryland Route 4 crosses Highway 235 in California, providing access to the wide Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge and the popular weekend resort town of Solomons, Maryland on the opposite side. Bridge-bound traffic is infamous for backing up during rush hour.

I took my elderly parents for dinner at Applebee's the other night. We were seated and waited on immediately. Our server was a very nice girl who had a lot of patience (my Dad takes forever to decide). Once we placed our order it was less than 10 minutes before our food came. My Mother eats like a bird and she devoured the HUGE Oriental Chicken salad. Both my Father's meal and mine were excellent. The portions were large, the food was nicely served and our waitress was fabulous. All in all, an ejoyable quick dinner.

Clarke's Landing - Opened

Reviewed By OhioPamela

Visiting our daughter who is stationed at Patuxent River, we decided to try some local seafood and ended up at Clarke’s Landing based off the reviews on Trip Advisor. We arrive around 5 pm on a Sunday. The place was not yet busy. There is inside dining, a bar, inside dining that’s waterside, and outside dining. There was also entertainment outside when we were there. And there’s dock space, so you can boat right up to the restaurant. Also, there seems to be plenty of parking. I can’t really tell you about the food, only our experience, because, unfortunately, they were out of everything we wanted to order. The waitress told us they had a really busy weekend because it had been raining all week and they finally had nice weather over the weekend. First we tried to order the Broome’s Island Crab Soup, but they were out. So we thought we’d try the Crab Chowder - out. We inquired about the Rockfish because we’ve never had rockfish and were told “I think we’re out.” So, my husband decided to order the fish dinner. I ordered the salad with fried goat cheese. The waitress came back a few minutes later to tell us they are out of fish and cheese. We decided not to dine there. The waitress was very understanding and wouldn’t even let us pay for the one Diet Coke we had ordered. However, our daughter had gone to the bar to order a beer. So, I went to the bar to tell her that we weren’t going to stay and see if she had placed her order yet. She just placed the order but the bartender hadn’t rang it up yet. I asked my daughter if she could cancel her order because they were out of basically everything and we weren’t going to stay. She asked the bartender, who asked her why she wanted to cancel the order. Our daughter told her because you’re out of basically everything we wanted to order, so we’re not going to stay and eat. The bartender (female) told my daughter, “Oh, it’s okay, you can just take it with you.” Then she proceeded to swipe my daughter’s credit card. I don’t know the laws in Maryland, but I do know that you are not allowed to have an open container of beer in your car in Ohio. It’s illegal. The bartender was very hesitant to issue a credit, but we finally convinced her that my daughter was not going to take an open container of alcohol into her car. Sorry I can’t tell you about the food. And I’m really sorry it wasn’t a better experience. It’s a great location and our waitress was friendly. I do think it was pretty expensive but that may be the norm for the area, I don’t know. You can find their menu/pricing online.

Pax River Ale House

Reviewed By MelissaScottkk58

When in the area we typically eat in Solomon's but a local recommended this place. It was much nicer than a large chain restaurant. The server was very good, he even brought me a sample of the zucchini was was very good! There were plenty of good drink choices. We had the Hawaiian pizza which was plenty big for 2 of us that weren't super starving. Our companions had chicken wings with a white sauce which, a spicy sandwich and fries where they said were all very good. They come to this place regularly and we will return.

Stopped by for the first time today, for lunch. The waitress was friendly, the place was clean and bright, and the food was VERY tasty. Really enjoyed the cream of crab soup, the buffalo wings, and the south carolina dog. Will definitly be back. They have live music on Thursday night; I'll have to check that out some time.
