    I had the rockfish and it was excellent. Member of my party…read morehad a softshell crabs, and they were fried too hard.. She didn't complain to the waitress, although she should have just the rest of us.. Everyone is very friendly during a very nice and as I said, the Roc fish was delicious

    While we were in the area, we decided to have lunch at the Chesapeake Landing…read more Their menu is pretty extensive, offering various apps, soups, salads, steamed seafood, platters, ribs, pastas, fried chicken, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, and kid options. We ordered: +a cup of Cream of Crab - this was thick, creamy, and pretty delicious! +the Crab Dip - served with toasted focaccia; could have used freshly-grated cheese; not much crab, and there was no flavor; the focaccia was also chewy and not well-toasted +the Crab Cakes - choice of having them broiled or friend, and we went for the broiled; not too much filler, but these just were not fresh and had no seasoning, whatsoever; the hot sauce didn't help, but their house tartar sauce was pretty good +Shrimp Scampi - with butterflied shrimp on a bed of linguini, dressed in a garlic sauce; shrimp were overcooked and rubbery, and was not fresh; the sauce was way too light and didn't taste like garlic sauce +Stuffed Shrimp - shrimp topped with crab imperial; these were just 'okay', but could have been served piping hot +coleslaw - had a nice tang +potato salad - creamy and tasty +onion rings - large and crispy; slightly overcooked +sweet potato fries - these were yummy! +sweet tea - nice and refreshing The basket of homemade cornbread was tasty, and the hot dinner rolls were so soft and fluffy! Service was friendly and attentive. The place is a bit outdated, and you can tell many locals come here. There is a little seafood counter area that you could purchase fresh seafood and condiments; they also have various weekend events, such as AYCE buffets. No reservations was necessary, as we did a walk-in and were seated immediately. Plenty of parking in their large lot. +homemade cornbread and dinner rolls +Cream of Crab soup +sweet tea +friendly service +ample parking

    We did a quick day trip over to St. Michael's and this place won for having a clear Gluten Free…read moremenu! I love when I get the opportunity to have fried food while eating out. And that's exactly what I ordered. It wasn't overly busy, most folks were outside. We opted for inside because we had been outside most of the day already and we have an infant. I will absolutely be back!

    On my very first night ever in St. Michaels, MD, I had two requirements for dinner…read more 1. I wanted a waterfront view. 2. I wanted shrimp salad. After a little searching, Foxy's Harbor Grille kept popping up as one of the top recommendations. Their website mentioned joining the waitlist online before arriving, and knowing it was the start of Fourth of July weekend, I figured a little planning couldn't hurt. I hopped on the waitlist before leaving my hotel and headed toward the harbor. I arrived a little before 5:00pm on Thursday afternoon in the middle of an absolutely brutal heat wave. Temperatures were over 100 degrees, and apparently everyone else in town had the good sense not to request outdoor seating. When the hostess couldn't find my name on the online waitlist, it didn't really matter because the covered deck overlooking the marina was completely empty. One request for an outside table later, and I was seated immediately with one heck of a view! My server was fantastic from start to finish. She was friendly, attentive and made sure I had everything I needed without ever making me feel rushed. For dinner, I ordered the Shrimp Roll ($21.00) with a side of black bean salad and a Diet Coke ($3.75). It turned out to be exactly the kind of meal I wanted after spending the day in triple-digit temperatures. The shrimp salad was outstanding! Big chunks of shrimp, perfectly dressed and seasoned without being drowning-in-mayo soupy. Just fresh, flavorful and incredibly satisfying. The portion was generous enough that I happily boxed up half to enjoy the next day. The black bean salad deserves its own little shout-out, too. Black beans, corn, peppers, cilantro and what tasted like a light, fresh vinaigrette made it the perfect companion to the chilled shrimp salad on such a hot evening. But...let's be honest. I had already spotted the Sky High Peanut Butter Pie ($12.00) while stalking the menu before dinner arrived. As someone whose personality is approximately 63.8% peanut butter, there was absolutely no chance I was leaving Foxy's without ordering it! A few minutes later, my server returned carrying what can only be described as a monument to peanut butter. This slice stood at least three inches tall, topped with whipped cream and packed with chopped peanut butter cups throughout a rich, dense peanut butter filling. It was glorious! It was excessive! It was everything I hoped it would be! And yes...I ate the whole thing. Even I was a little impressed with myself! The view from the covered deck overlooking the marina made the entire experience even better. Sitting there watching boats come and go while enjoying dinner felt like the perfect introduction to St. Michaels. Foxy's has exactly the kind of laid-back, waterfront atmosphere you hope to find when visiting a Chesapeake Bay town. One thing I also appreciated was how welcoming the restaurant felt for everyone. During my visit I saw solo diners like myself, couples, families with kids and groups of friends all enjoying themselves. Their menu is incredibly diverse, too, so just about everyone should be able to find something they'll enjoy. My total came to just $40.24 before tip for dinner, dessert and a drink, which I found to be very reasonable considering the quality of the food, the waterfront location and the generous portions. If I had one piece of advice, it would be to eat a little earlier if you can, especially during holiday weekends. I have a feeling this place fills up quickly once the evening rolls around. Highly recommend Foxy's Harbor Grille if you're visiting St. Michaels! Great food, great service, beautiful waterfront views and one seriously unforgettable slice of peanut butter pie. I'll absolutely be back!

    No day trip to St. Michael's is complete without coming to The Crab Claw!…read more While the service leaves lot to be desired, the food is great. I love the rockfish and chips! And this is a great place to grab crabs if you're looking for the average MD seafood experience. Shame this place is closing down at the end of the season.

    The best adventures are the ones you never planned…read more The night before, while riding the ferry, I got to chatting with another passenger who asked if I'd eaten at The Crab Claw yet. When I told him no, he looked at me and said, "You better go! They're closing after this season." Wait...WHAT?! Sure enough, I looked it up later that evening and the rumors were true. After 61 seasons serving seafood on the St. Michaels waterfront, this family-owned landmark is saying goodbye at the end of 2026. Suddenly, eating here wasn't just dinner. It became one last chance to experience a little piece of Eastern Shore history before it's gone forever! I called that afternoon hoping for a reservation. It was the Fourth of July in St. Michaels, after all, and the town was absolutely PACKED. No reservations were available, but the gentleman on the phone kindly told me, "Just come on over. We'll take care of you." Good enough for me! I somehow...SOMEHOW...pulled into one of the very limited front-row parking spaces at The Crab Claw at 4:30pm. On a holiday weekend Saturday. The vacation gods were smiling on me! I wandered out onto the waterfront deck and found plenty of open tables waiting in the shade. Considering it was roughly 105 degrees thanks to the holiday weekend heat wave, shade wasn't a luxury. It was survival. I hadn't done my normal pre-trip menu stalking, which made me wildly uncomfortable because I am apparently the type of person who likes to arrive at restaurants with a five-year dinner plan already prepared. Thankfully, my waitress rescued me! The Fish Tacos of the Day happened to be rockfish, so my decision was made. I ordered the Fish Tacos ($20.95), added a side of Homemade Potato Salad ($5.95), a Diet Pepsi ($4.00)...and then I saw it. SMITH ISLAND CAKE. I've wanted to try authentic Smith Island Cake for YEARS. Not days. Not months. Years. ALOT of them! Every trip to Maryland I'd think, "Maybe this time." And somehow it never happened. Until now! The rockfish tacos were excellent. No unnecessary frills, just generous chunks of perfectly cooked rockfish topped with crunchy purple cabbage, a light spicy sauce underneath and a fresh pico with tomatoes, onions and jalapeños that leaned more toward fresh than soggy. Exactly how I like it! The potato salad was almost neon yellow when it arrived, which immediately gave me high hopes. Those hopes were rewarded! It reminded me a lot of Amish potato salad. Slightly sweet, creamy and absolutely delicious. I ate one taco, a healthy helping of potato salad and happily boxed up the rest for lunch the next day. But let's be honest. The real event was dessert. The slice of Smith Island Cake ($12.95) arrived looking every bit as legendary as I'd imagined. Nine layers of cake. Eleven thin layers of rich chocolate frosting. I took one bite...and immediately started doing the happy food dance. It was EVERYTHING I'd hoped it would be! Every. Single. Bite. While I'm sure The Crab Claw doesn't actually make the Smith Island Cake, they happened to be the one's that allowed me to experience it first, so, they get awarded the points for epicness! Dinner came to $46.48 before tip (about $60 all in after tipping), making it the most expensive dinner of my St. Michaels vacation. Not exactly cheap, but absolutely worth every penny for the food, the memories and the chance to experience a place that's been part of St. Michaels since 1965. The Crab Claw began as a seafood packing operation before becoming the waterfront restaurant generations of visitors have come to love, and you can absolutely feel that history while you're sitting there watching the boats drift by. I'm incredibly grateful that a random conversation on a ferry turned into one of my favorite meals of the trip. Sometimes the best adventures aren't on the itinerary. Sometimes they're recommended by a stranger. Thank you, Crab Claw, for one unforgettable final meal in St. Michaels.

The view is definitely the best thing about this restaurant, but that's where the positives end. I ordered the seafood stew, and it was unbelievably oily--so much so that I couldn't finish it. The seafood soup tasted like something that came straight out of a can. Ironically, the Philly cheesesteak sandwich was the cheapest item we ordered, yet it ended up being the best dish on the table. The service was also very disappointing. There were hardly any other customers around, yet our server was extremely slow and rarely checked on us. Even when we were clearly trying to get the check, we waited forever. Meanwhile, we could hear staff laughing and chatting in the kitchen, but no one seemed interested in helping customers. To make matters worse, there were flies everywhere throughout the restaurant, and no one appeared to be doing anything about it. It made the dining experience even less enjoyable. Overall, the waterfront setting is beautiful, but the food quality, service, and cleanliness issues outweighed the view. We won't be returning and would not recommend it based on our experience.

Came in a Sunday evening and there was a crowd but not overly busy. We ordered an orange vanilla crush, per waiter reco, and it was amazingg. It tasted just like an orange creamsicle. Also tried the famous crab dip and it was SO good. Maybe it was all the butter but it was my favorite by far. I also tried their fish tacos which were citrusy and fresh. The views were amazing and you can watch the yachts pull up and boats go by.
