8. Shady Lane Seafood

Bought steamed crabs twice during our visit. Prices were right, staff was very helpful and prompt to get our order filled. It was the best place to get shrimp and crabs carry-out.

Shady Lane offers Maryland blue crabs (done to perfection), steamed shrimp (succulent), hand cut fries (lip smacking), and much, much more!! This delightful place is a little known gem in this quaint town. Outside seating is available where you can dine and enjoy the sights and sounds, including a trolley, of this charming town. A plus is the friendly wait staff, excellent food, and great service.

This is about average for beachfront eateries where "atmosphere" trumps fine dining. Service was good and the orders popped up quickly, but the food was not anything to rave about despite the high prices. We had a one-year-old in our party and the server went out of her way to see that the young 'un was happy. The adults were underwhelmed with the food despite the server's best efforts.

We should have known by the lack of people there...to just say no. We had combo meal that had fish, shrimp and a crab cake. Mine was fried my husbands broiled. Shrimp was ok nothing special. The fish was just so so. The crabcake should have been called a celery cake. That is all you taste. The servers were not friendly. Would not go back.

My husband went to Wilkerson's as a child with his family. We made a day trip of going there for lunch and browsing around Colonial Beach. Our waitress was amazing and so friendly. I'm mad at myself for not getting her name! The hush puppies were so good. I got one of the lunch specials - fried rockfish sandwich - and my husband got the crab cake sandwich. All sandwiches come with 1 side. I got the homemade potato salad, and he got the homemade coleslaw. Everything was delicious.

Ate here on a Saturday night. Appears to be a loud drinking establishment that also serves food.The spiced shrimp had the tails on them and they were not peeled or deveined so you have to either eat or pick out the shrimp intestinal tract as you eat each one - GROSS! We were seated right next to the bathrooms and apparently there is only one ladies stall so the line was always out by our table while we waited and ate supper. I don't think we'll be back here again.

Tonight we had the lobster and NY Steak special. The experience took 90 minutes only because the service was extremely slow and the place was 2/3rds empty! The lobster was over cooked and the steak wasn't cooked at all! Potatoes were under cooked as well. The steak was tasteless. No secret sauce was provided. The servers were unfriendly and inattentive. The Windows that face the sunset were filthy ruining the view. Fake flowers ... The previous management and chief were the exact opposite! Friendly, very attentive, food was spectacular, great menu and super service. I don't see this place lasting unless they up their game a lot. We won't be back any time soon. Maybe try in the Spring and hope for the best. I've had Lean Cousine TV dinners that were more satisfying, sadly.

I went for lunch. I loved the atmosphere and my crab cake sandwich, the crab cake portion of which was perfectly seasoned, delightfully crabby with very little filler. It came with delicious remoulade sauce which I mostly ate with the accompanying chips, though it complimented the crab cake nicely. I found the service appropriately attentive and friendly, and while the pace of my lunch was relaxed, the service was anything but slow. This is based on one visit, but I would definitely come back and recommend to others.
