    This is my favorite diner in Annapolis. Food is excellent cheap and well portioned. It definitely feels like home in here.

    This fun quirky restaurant is just my style. I was staying at a nearby cabin for the weekend, and the owners recommended it Perfect for breakfast with a warm and friendly staff. I highly recommend the pancakes they even offer smaller sized portions of everything! It is important to know that this is a counter seating restaurant (no table service). The unique seating and ordering system may throw off some people, but I actually really enjoyed it. Coffee is help yourself so you can pick your own mug and your own flavor of coffee. Impressed me most was the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. When the couple behind me left the restaurant, it took less than 30 seconds for the crew to clear their table and clean it for the next patron. This is definitely my new local favorite

    A friend and I stopped by Grump's on the recommendation of a local antique vendor. Excellent call! We were seated right away in a booth, and were instructed to order at the register. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak Omelet and my friend got the Banana Grumpster (banana French toast). I heard my friend moaning over her food and had to get a bite. I don't know what they put in the sauce but it is so good-like tasting your lover's kiss as you drive away. Not gonna lie, that dish is one for the books! Don't miss a trip to Grump's!

    Excellent burger, we ordered the "All Jacked Up" burger and it was one of the best we've ever tasted. It was 2 pm and we just wanted a snack so my husband and I shared and the split it up in 2 plates for us. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp tasting, a must try if you're a fan. It was quite packed for mid afternoon so that says much about the restaurant. Love the 80s/90s vibe!

    This was a cute little diner type place near Quiet Waters Park. After a morning of kayaking we came here and enjoyed a breakfast outside. Orange crushes and coffee for drinks and benefit ya and omelettes for breakfast were all delicious. You order your food at a cashier and then give them your table number and they bring the food to you. The tables all have their own toy with a number on them. Wry cute idea for table numbers.

    I usually go to Grump's in Crofton, which is always good. Annapolis Grump's has been going down in quality for a while. Today they broke my back. I ordered a cheddar bacon cheeseburger well done with onion rings to go. Got home cut the burger in half and it was bleeding. I forgave the over cook onion rings but a bleeding burger is not good. Some of the wait staff looks like they just rolled out of bed, one was smacking chewing gum. When I called to complain, they act like I should not have and be happy with what they gave me. They act like I was attempting to scam them. Took the bleeding burger and over cook onion rings back, no apologies and the attitude was how dare you return bad food. Health Department will be getting my complaint along with pictures of the bleeding burger. If you want Grump's food go to Crofton.

    This is my favorite spot in Annapolis. The breakfast is very good with very fair prices. The staff is always very friendly and get you seated pretty quick. Fun table numbers and coffee mugs make this place a fun little place. I usually get the Bubba, but went with an omelette this time and wasn't disappointed.

    Their restaurant is quaint and almost hidden. The food was ok but the Bloody Mary really brought the whole meal down for me.

Menu focuses on both Chesapeake and west coast oysters. They also have a variety of salads, seafood and libations. We ordered a dozen oysters (4 different Chesapeake ones, 3 of each). They came with a vinaigrette and a spicy cocktail sauce. Server explained each one to us. They were fresh, clean tasting and delicious! We also got the smoked whitefish dip. It was creamy and smoky, topped with caviar and came with flatbread style sesame crackers. It was light and savory. My companion ordered the tuna sashimi special. It had melt in your mouth toro marinated in yuzu and sesame sauce. It was topped with seaweed and came with a side of kimchi aioli. It was definitely the star dish. Will need to come back to try other seafood dishes and drinks.

Whitefish Dip was fine but way too much mayo than the fish. Bread & Butter was disappointing. It shouldn't be something they charge. The bread probably was from supermarket and it wasn't chive butter but green onion. OG Caesar was basically wedge salad with heavy pesto oil, overall oily and salty. Lomi Lomi Salmon... Not good. Hamachi probably was the best thing. Happy hour drinks was the best thing.

I think the portions were a bit small for the price, but the ambiance/views seemed to be part of the cost. cocktail: chesapeake bae - It was just okay, it tasted a bit watered down calamari - delicious, would definitely get again, it would be nice if the sauce was on the side so the calamari wouldn't get soggy crab dip - dip was good, but pretzels were better children's petite filet - requested medium, received medium rare, but my toddler still enjoyed it. the portion is a bit small (I think it was supposed to be 6 oz, but I'm pretty sure it was smaller than that.) empanadas - very good, three to an order (small, two-bite sized), also wish sauces were on the side so the pastry wouldn't be soggy at the bottom filet & lobster - filet was overcooked (requested medium rare, but it was well done, no pink inside), lobster was good scallops and shrimp - delicious, came with 3 scallops and 5 shrimp (all averaged sized, one scallop was small), jasmine rice was good, asparagus was delicious Overall, the seasoning was spot on for all of the food. I just wish the steak temps were done correctly (my husband's filet was chewy). Would most likely return for a special occasion. You can validate parking, which is a huge plus!
