Top 10 American food in Annapolis, Maryland, United States
Reviews on American food in Annapolis, Maryland, United States. With more surviving 18th century buildings than any other city in the United States, visiting Annapolis is like stepping back in time to the days when the city was a colonial seaport. Known as America’s Sailing Capital, the city is located on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and is a paradise for water lovers, famous for its crab cakes, lighthouses, and 500 miles of gorgeous shoreline. Tour the campus of the US Naval Academy, or the Maryland State House, the oldest state capitol still in use.

To me, this is one great restaurant. Food, especially the filet mignon, was excellent and cooked perfectly. It is one of our favorite places to eat when we visit Annapolis. It is a bit small and a very small bar, doesn't have any restaurant parking other than street parking, which is at a premium, however, on a previous visit, they even moved my car for me when a space became available on the street. Service is excellent and I would recommend this highly.Bob, thank you for such a lovely review and the great support! Itâs wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the experience, and the pleasure is very much ours! All the best,Sam and Mack Lewnes

My husband & I were on our way to Virginia for a mini vacation & decided to try & find some place that Guy Fieri visited on Triple D. This has been of quest of ours for a few years & we got to a place a few years ago only to find out they weren't opened for the day yet. So while my husband drove I looked on the Internet to see if anything was close by that Guy had visited. The angels must have heard me because we found a place! I was SO excited! LOL The pub is located in a residential area & parking like others have said can be tough, thankfully we didn't have that issue & found a parking space right away. We walked up to the hostess stand outside & were seated inside pretty quickly even though the restaurant was very busy. The tables are very close together but not super crammed. When we walked in I was looking for proof Guy was there & sure enough found the picture on the wall. It's in an odd place by the window where the food is placed for servers to grab so I politely asked a lady (who was an employee) standing by the window if I could take a picture of the picture. She said I could but wasn't really polite about it. I'm sure they get people like me all the time asking if they can take a picture of the picture but she could have been a little friendlier about it. I mean after all I only knew of the place because of the show. I thought things were going to go downhill after that but it didn't. Our waitress was very nice & very attentive to my husband & I. My husband had the crab cake sandwich that came with coleslaw & he chose potato salad as his side. The crab cake sandwich was amazing with lots of crab. I like the coleslaw & he liked it just not as much as me. The potato salad was good but I felt the potatoes were a little hard but that's my opinion. He liked it. I had a cheeseburger & it was cooked perfectly! Well seasoned & perfect. Now about those fries, my husband & I are not fans of skinny fries at all. I decided to try them & am really glad I did. They were very good & they tasted hand cut. Others have raved about the pretzels they serve there but we didn't try one. However the people next to us both had one & they looked amazing. So I can't say how they tasted but they looked good! LOL Hopefully we'll visit again soon.

We arrived early and were seated right away. My omlete with crab, ham, and swiss was very tasty. My husband ordered the coconut French toast. It was a very large portion. Beware it is very sweet to the taste. Our waitress was very nice and efficient.Thank you kindly for sharing your feedback and review with us. We truly hope to see you back again soon.

We were in Annapolis, on a beautiful Sunday morning, looking for a place for Brunch. We asked several locals, they all said the Iron Rooster. The wait was a littel longer than expected. When we finally got our table, the food was really great. The bacon was the best ever! Everyone in our party enjoyed brunch Several loved the Crabs Bennie, they loved the crabcakes. This is a great stop on the waterfront!

Tucked off Severn Street, you walk by bigger seafood restaurants, but youâll enjoy the more intimate feel of OâLearyâs. Reservation made through Resy for later on a Friday night. Place was full. Sat at bar for 15 minutes before table was ready, an easy wait with an attentive bar tender and interesting company. Lovely table for two with an amazing server (Kathryn). The seafood was incredible in a town known for seafood. Fresh Chesapeake oysters, Lobster Risotto (special), blackened Ahi and a dessert of coffee and butterscotch pudding. Just a great place with an elegant but low key crab town vibe. Easy walk from USNA or downtown. Appetizer, two entrees, coffee, dessert and 4 drinks with gratuity just over $200. Weâll be back. Definitely worth the wait and the $$$.

We visited the Boatyard Bar and Grill about a week ago. The bar has happy hour specials ($1 oysters) and was crowded at the time, although we were able to find seats. The service is fine, beer selections good, and there was a nice atmosphere - everybody having a good time. We stayed for dinner (FYI, no reservations) and had their crabcake dinner. Market price was $34. The cakes had lots of fresh, flavorful crab and were so large, we brought two home with us and had them the next day. I would definitely recommend and return.

A modern industrial take on a Prohibition- era speakeasy. A place where you would sneak a bourbon, craft beer and gourmet comfort food meal if Prohibition were still the law of the land today.

This crew loves unique.. and some drinks.. Dry 85 has that on deck! The beer flights are always a hit with my crowd, and this didnât disappoint.. Try the Adroit Theory Margarita.. Really different.. We also tried a drink from their extensive menu.. âThe Root of All Evilâ Delicious! Iâve seen some mixed reviews here on the food.. Now, this is a whiskey bar with amazing drink selections.. but the food is solid.. wings are average, not very crispy, but thatâs a preference. The charcuterie selection is delish, and the Brussels.. well, those are next level. Iâm a sucker for a well prepared Brussels selection.. they do a cool Brussels of the day.. today, was a Buffalo and Blue Cheese selection. Yummy! Burgers were solid, not great, but very good. Our waitress, didnât give her name, but she was excellent. Very friendly, knowledgeable and guided ya through the experience! Pricing is good for the value!

This isn't your "normal" restaurant. The restaurant is located in Eastport in a building that was originally a Sears mail order house. The decor has a bit of a european flair and is very comfortable. The menu encourages sharing from the charcuterie boards to the "small" plates to the some of the best rustic thin crust pizza anywhere. And the decadent Belgian chocolate dessert. The menu is seasonal with many of the ingredients sourced locally. I was there on a Sunday evening and the place was packed until about 8 PM. I am told that the Friday and Saturday wait times can be one to two hours. Of course the wine offerings are extensive and offered in a broad price range. Although you will have a primary wait person, they use a team approach to provide very good service.Thanks so much for your kind review. We strive for a smooth running "team" from the kitchen to the service staff, and are happy to hear that you had a pleasant experience. We look forward to your next visit.

Took us a while to try Soul and we were happy we did. âSmall platesâ have decent portions enough to share and all were delicious, especially the appetizers and salads. Nice informal decor with pleasant staff. Moderate prices are fair for area.Definitely will be on our âgo toâ list as want to try more of their offerings....
