This place never disappoints. The service is always friendly, the food is always fresh and lots of flavor no matter if you get a sub, platter or pizza. The ice cream is awesome. We never hesitate to go back.
2. Carson's Creekside Restaurant

We went to Carson’s Creekside for the Easter brunch buffet. The restaurant is situated, as the name implies, next to the water. On a busy day such as Easter Sunday the parking is very tight. We were warmly greeted when we walked through the door, twenty minutes prior to our reserved time. However, our table was available and so we were seated. Our waitress, who was polite and attentive, asked what we would like to drink. She took our orders and said that we were welcome to go up to the buffet when we were ready. When I returned I could not believe that the coffee was served in a paper cup! For some reason this struck a nerve! The food from the buffet was average to very good depending on what you chose. I was surprised to hear during our meal that the Easter brunch buffet was $25/person After hearing this I made sure that I went back to the buffet for more! A price of $18-20 would have seemed more reasonable but clearly, based on the full restaurant, the price did not deter people from coming. I will return, but on a regular Sunday. I will pass on the Easter brunch buffet next year.

Saturday afternoon, and our sweet tooth kicked in. I'd passed this bakery several times, but never stopped...I always remembered the spelling, though. We decided to go today--doughnuts, cupcakes, cakes, pastries, eclairs, breads, and cookies. The staff was busy, but friendly. We got Oreo cheesecake And Snicker's cheesecake. Delicious!
Also, as a newlywed, we enjoyed looking at the beautiful wedding cake samples on display.
Highly recommended!

At suggestion of friend we decided to go here for my wife's birthday dinner. Was very pleased with the service, Sheire, menu was great...too many favorites to choose from. Settled on the meat loaf and was not disappointed. Oysters were fresh and tasty, my Dark and Stormy drink was best so far. Overall, a very plesant experience. Will be back.

Go to the back to order hot takeout meals, you will have to talk to the counter person since nothing seemed to be really defined. The board listed the specials and look at what's in the warming case. Chicken breast was tough and dry, bourbon Turkey was good. Sides were good and corn bread the best thing. Got some pie in the market and resisted looking at more snacks but there is a lot to choose from. Overall very good to take back to the hotel to eat and had leftovers to take home. Best to plan on take away but there was some limited seating outside.
6. Schultz's Crab House

4.5 based on 117 reviews
Reviewed By Arthur S - Edgewood, Maryland
We looked at the various reviews for Schultz's and were pleased with the potential for excellent and reasonably priced seafood. Our previous place that we frequented has new management and the recent reviews were terrible, thus our new choice and we were quite pleased with this finding. We came a little after the noontime 'rush' and were able to seat ourselves. Our friendly waitress took our order and first brought the mixed green salad that we ordered as one of the two side dishes. The bleu cheese dressing and the ranch dressings had good flavor and the salad was fine. The steamed combo appetizer consisting of oysters, clams and mussels was really nice with plenty of the crustaceans served with drawn butter. The dish could have been a little warmer temperature wise but still quite good. The menu had two types of crabcake platters; one stating back-fin crabmeat and the other as jumbo lump crabmeat. Our waitress said the difference was that the jumbo lump was a little larger and with just lump crab meat....absolutely true. One main entree was the two jumbo lump crabcakes and the second was the jumbo lump crabcake with two huge fried oysters. The crabcakes had very, very little filler and were delicious. The fried oysters, although large in size, had a relatively thick batter coating whereas a thinner coating would be preferable. This meal also was served with a large loaf of warm bread and plenty of butter. The dining area is pleasantly furnished and tables have paper coverings. There is a large bar area along with a pool table but this did not affect the dining area. Our waitress was efficient and provided beverage refills and extra napkins. In our opinion the prices are quite reasonable.

Breakfast like it was in the fifties, so other reviewers write. But if I was a kid in the fifties and I could go out to a restaurant in the 50’s... I’d choose to come here for their wide selection...somewhat like those famous Greek diners...MoreWe are so happy to hear you had a great experience! we hope to see you again soon!

Our family made reservations for the Saturday Brunch. Excellent service and delish food. Made to order omelets, grits, shimp, raw oysters, Caesar salad, breakfast items with carved beef are on the buffet menu. If you have room left, assortment of delectable desserts. Can't beat the $1 per drink of Mimosa or Bloody Mary, only available at this price on Saturday. Our visit was great and we WILL be back.

Reviewed By John L - White Marsh, Maryland
We were at Crazy Tuna with a party of 7. The service was excellent. Savannah, our server, was very busy with a great personalty, very prompt and extremely attentive to our needs.
The food was a bit inconsistent. Overall it was very good. Cream of crab soup was fantastic. The sliders, ditto. the pit beef was very enjoyable. The stuffed shrimp was too salty and very greasy.
As far as ambiance, the Crazy Tuna is primarily a sports bar with a restaurant menu. Very noisy with lots of tv's.
