    Wow! This place was outstanding. There weren't many lunch options open on a Sunday in Crisfield,…read moreand we were the first customers into the Water's Edge during our impromptu visit. There was one single waitress, and while she was a doll, she clearly was not prepared for an 8-top to walk in as soon as they opened. We were promptly greeted and sat, and our drink orders were taken. She was brewing fresh sweet tea, which was worth the wait. Additionally, one of my family members requested unsweet ice tea, and the owner actually went out to the store and bought more tea to make it for her. We sampled the crab dip appetizer (GOOEY GOODNESS), and we were served free cornbread for the table. The cornbread was unreal - it was the most dense, decadent, flavorful cornbread I've ever hard, though noticeably underbaked (which I personally believe added to it's goodness!) Portions were huge, and the food was really tasty and rich. Things move a little slower here than most places, but if you're not in a rush, pull up a seat. Heed parking signs outside, as it's street parking.

A minute or two and our server took our drink order. They fill the glass with nearly snowball style ice and water. Mostly ice so if you drink a lot tell them a little ice. We ordered a cream of crab, house made shrimp salad and a crab cake. All tasted homemade. The shrimp salad was a fair amount,not great but ok. The crab cake was flavorful and had a good amount of crab in it and so did the soup. When we go back there we will probably try someplace else but this is definitely worth returning to try something else like their fried chicken. They also have a 50s style ice cream shop attached that looks authentic.

However, they were more than accommodating. Also, we booked the reservation for 7:30 PM and, even though they closed at 8 PM, they still graciously accepted my reservation and provided us with the most outstanding service. I ordered the low country skillet, which was like a seafood boil with sausage on top of cheesy grits with a side of green beans. It was delicious and hearty. I recommend ordering this dish, especially since our server deemed it as one of the restaurants signature dishes. I also had a glass of Malbec red wine, pair of quite nicely with my meal. One of the other guests ordered the corn dip, which had a side of pita chips to dip into. The corn dip was slightly thick and sweet, with a few slices of avocado sitting on top. Also delicious.

We shared a dinner portion of oysters plus a Chesapeake burger, both of which were perfectly prepared. The oysters were huge and succulent with a very light breading. They were accompanied by fries and Cole slaw, with cocktail and tartar sauce on the side. The burger was cooked medium rare as I requested, and was especially tasty since it was topped with lump crab meat, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. I got it with sweet potato fries, which were dusted with a touch of cinnamon and were a perfect side kick for the burger. We ended up taking home about half of each meal because we wanted to leave room for ice cream It just seems wrong to leave a well-preserved early 20th century diner with a soda fountain and counter seating without having some sort of ice cream! We were pretty full, so we shared a hot fudge sundae, which was definitely big enough for us both. It had vanilla ice cream, a generous portion of hot fudge, whipped cream, nuts, and two cherries (since we were sharing). We had a choice of wet nuts or peanuts, and I chose peanuts, as the salty flavor is a nice complement to the sweetness of the rest. Overall, we enjoyed this visit and hope to come back. I'd like to try the Caprese Burger and maybe have more oysters. They offer gluten free buns as an option, which is a helpful touch as well. Whether you live in Matthews or are just traveling through, it's worth a stop.

    This seems to be the staple constant casual dining establishment in Mathews. Cute diner type place…read morewith a side window to order ice cream from the sidewalk and daily specials.
