Pre-pandemic, this was a place where we would have dine-in visits with friends of ours from a social group or just the two of us. It was probably close to a year since we last appeared so it was time to stop by. Similiar to the past visits, I called in our orders. They greeted me promptly when I walked in where there was only one table occupied. Quick and easy. For our orders, which both served as dinner and lunch for work at our respective sites, we chose their Cubano sandwich with our usual sides (fries for myself and plantains for Sophia). As always, the sandwich was pretty good packed with ham and roasted pork, pickles, cheese and mustard (both had no mayo). I would've liked for more fries in the box, but I had enough for both servings. La Pena Horeb came through once again. You know I'll be ordering takeout from here down the road. Till next time :)

We were a party of 10 and we all got our food at different times. I was already almost done eating before my cousins even got her plate. Also, they kept running out of stuff, like who runs out of french fries. Also they can only sit a check into 2 checks. It's 2026, there's no reason why your system can't properly split checks. All in all, I would only come back with a small party. The food was good but they need to do better with their system. Note: we were so hungry waiting for our food, I didn't even get to take a picture when it finally came out.

I have been coming to Seacrets since 2010, and at this point it has become a rite of passage for any Marylander looking for the ultimate East Coast beach bar experience. I have survived the hilariously overcrowded Memorial Day weekends, end of summer Labor Day crowds, and even a few New Year's Eve bashes. Somehow, I have always left with another great story. Seacrets has added some serious upgrades over the years, including its own distillery and private floating cabanas for anyone who does not want to fight over the coveted water tables during peak summer weekends. My most recent visit was the weekend after Labor Day during Bike Week, when the crowd was much more subdued than the typical July and August madness. The water tables were still open with servers taking care of everyone, although there was unfortunately no DJ playing on the bay. Our group of five grabbed one of the horseshoe shaped tables in the water, which now has an umbrella providing some much appreciated shade. The drinks at Seacrets are always a hit. My personal favorite is the Dirty Banana with a rum floater. They have also started offering their own Beachin' canned cocktails, including lemon iced tea with vodka and a few vodka soda flavors. They were a great addition when we wanted something lighter and easier to drink in the water. Some people hate Seacrets because of the crowds and occasionally trashy party atmosphere, but that is also part of its charm. One thing Seacrets can guarantee is that memories will be made, even if a few of them are blurry. It deserves its reputation as one of the best beach bars in the country.

OH MY GOODNESS! I don't even know where to start other than WOW absolutely delicious! My husband and I were driving down from Maryland for a work trip and decided to stop in for dinner, and we are so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. First of all, the restaurant was spotless. Even the bathrooms were clean, smelled wonderful, and were so cute and nicely decorate. The service was absolutely fantastic. We were taken care of by Hannah, and she was just the sweetest. She helped us choose some of the best items on the menu and even took a few minutes to chat with us about how college is going. It's those little personal touches that make a dining experience special. Now for the part everyone wants to hear about the FOOD! For appetizers, we ordered the crab dip and the spring rolls. The crab dip was so, creamy and cheesy! I could have made a meal out of that alone!For our entrées, we tried the new jerk salmon with mango salsa, which was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We also had the shrimp and grits, and they were absolutely outstanding. Every bite was better than the last. We will definitely be back the next time we're in the area. If you're traveling from the Delmarva region or just passing through, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You won't regret it! read more

My fiancé got the meatloaf and was very satisfied with his meal. That said, most of the portions are pretty small for the price. The prices feel a little high for what you're actually getting, especially when you factor in the overall vibe of the restaurant. I think a lot of what you're paying for is the location, which makes sense as it's beautiful to sit on the dock, but you lose some of that mystique if you're sitting inside. The atmosphere doesn't quite match the price point for me. Overall, the food is delicious and there were definitely some standout dishes, but I think the portions and pricing could be better aligned with the overall experience!

Mallards at the Wharf is what our GPS directed us to. The GPS just said "Mallards", so we were pleasantly surprised to see it was on Onancock Creek with boats moored adjacent to the outdoor dining deck. The hostess pointed in a vague direction to seat ourselves as she followed, but I couldn't figure out how to get to the deck and had to ask her to lead us. I thought it might put her off, but I was brain-numb from driving for the previous 7 hours. We sat in the shade with an incredible view of the boats and the creek. It was so beautiful that I didn't think the food would matter at all, which is good because it was a mixed bag. I ordered a whisky sour, with house whisky.... Whatever's in the well. Waitress didn't understand what was meant by my order, probably my bad. I was so tired that I couldn't sort my brain. We figured it out and it arrived with a slice of lemon and a slice of lime instead of a flag, so it was sour like a Warhead! We ordered fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. The only thing we could taste was the oil they were fried in and the pimento cheese they were topped with. The 3 tomatoes were the thickness of a slice of Kraft American cheese and no larger than the diameter of a Pepsi can. We wouldn't order that again. Ever. We also ordered a cheeseburger, which was lovely, but wasn't served with onion, pickle, or any spread. No mustard, ketchup or mayo. It wasn't something we would order again either. Redemption came in the guise of a swordfish steak. It was grilled to near perfection, moist, flavorful and topped with cilantro microgreens. This was a delicious entree. With it was a lovely, fresh mixed leafy green salad topped with blue-cheese vinaigrette. We wouldn't go back for that dish alone, but we would go back. The menu is appealing, with a variety of seafood. I do recommend it, for the ambiance, and the swordfish. We did order a key lime cake. It was good. Not "inspired", but good. We also ordered a brownie to go. It was hot. We dodnt understand heating a brownie, when the item isn't for immediate consumption? Maybe it was hot out of the oven from being baked. I will learn to sprout cilantro microgreens, because they were excellent. When you look at the high rating, remember the rating is on "your experience", not just one aspect (the food).

At the counter, you can order food (which is what I came for)! They make it fresh to order. I had an al pastor taco and a tamale. Along with a bottle of water, my total was around $3.75. Can't beat it! Everything tasted great; I ate in my car before continuing on my way. I used to live in LA and was used to super authentic Mexican food. Hard to find in the Hampton Roads/Eastern Shore area. That being said, this was one of the better places that I've tried; tasted like authentic street fare.

At first glance my husband just wanted to keep on driving. Myself I am always open for an adventure and have found some of the best Mexican food in other hole in the wall places like this. There is no indoor seating, there is a small outdoor eating area or takeout only. You wouldn't know they served food from driving by or upon entering the facility. Inside is a store where they sell many Mexican foods, beverages and produce. The inside was not very clean and a bit run down, the outside eating area was littered with cigarette butts and soda cap lids, no trash receptacle other than a thin garbage bag tied to a post that was over flowing. On a good note, the cashier was very pleasant. Our food came out timely , I was disappointed with the food, very bland, the rice was chopped up and my carnitas dry. My husband only ate 1/2 of his Burrito. Wish the food was better and the place was cleaner as we travel down that way often....
