We stopped for a bite and the place was clean, the service friendly and the food very tasty. I had their BLT with fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese, and my husband had soft shell crab tacos with house fried chips. My side was tater tots. We cleaned our plate and would go again! read more

This is our favorite place in Easton, we've eaten here for 5 years and they never miss! From the orange crush to the fish and their amazing green beans and homemade chips my family had always loved this place. Today's visit was another hit with great service and its pet friendly which is a plus. Nicole provided amazing service and made us feel welcome from the moment we entered. This is a hidden gem in Easton! My daughters love this place in addition to our entire family. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Both inside and outside are nice with local touches of Eastern Shore maps and history.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We found this place on a recent trip to Easton, MD located in a nearby shopping center. Our server was amazing and so efficient. The food was just ok. The crab cake was fair, Parmesan grits were lukewarm and dense and veggies were good. My husband had the broiled rockfish which he loved along with the grits (meh) and a vegetable. We split a slice of Smith Island pie which was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was lively and there was a small bar area as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Super casual restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our service was fine. Waitress was nice and friendly. We ordered calamari and cream of crab for starters. For entrees, grilled cheese w/ cream of crab soup, fish and taters (hush puppies on side), rockfish poboy, Cuban and a grilled salmon salad. The good stuff. The calamari came out hot and crispy with a spiced cocktail sauce. It was tasty. It didn't have fried tentacles which, for me, was a bummer bc it's the most flavors part! The salmon salad was fresh and the fish was grilled nicely. The vinaigrette wrapped it all together. The hush puppies were crispy and moist on the inside. It was the best thing we ate there. The mid stuff. The Cuban didn't come on the typical roll. It was a brioche. The mustard was stone ground not yellow. And, the pork was dry. My rockfish poboy was tasty but there was more bread than fish. The fish in the fish and taters had a strange sweet spice to the oil. Maybe the frying oil needs changing? It was also salty for me. The grilled cheese was nothing to write home about. read more

The food is very tasty, service excellent. We had oysters, a crab soup then a tuna salade and fish&tots. Evetything tasted delicious and very fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We ate outside as our dog was with us. The terrace is very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only reason for not giving 5 starts is the aspect of the restroom. I trust they are cleaned and a good coat of paint, specifically of floor would help a lot. read more

We stopped for lunch on our way to the eastern shore and were so glad we did. We both had the bourbon glazed salmon salad, and it was delicious! The healthy portion of salmon was cooked perfectly. The greens were dressed with a lemon-Old Bay vinaigrette (served on the side) that I could've drunk with a straw, it was so good. I liked that it had fresh cranberries rather than the typical craisins you find on most salads. We also tried the tots (amazingly crispy - excellent), mac and cheese (not baked and the sauce was made with a fancy cheese I couldn't place - okay), and stewed tomatoes (not baked bread filler, looked homemade-good). read more

The entrees are good, not great. I usually order fish. It's overpriced so we don't usually go to Headwaters. If you have time, drive to St Michael's. The service was good. Our server was very helpful and guided us through the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is meh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Headwater Grill is fairly new. Open since 2019 and in a great location with open indoor seating and a nice patio area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nestled in a shopping center, parking was a breeze. I opted for the blue catfish with creamy parmesan grits and a crab soup. The catfish was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, while the parmesan grits were a comforting and very cheesy. My friend chose the rockfish and shrimp served with grits, and it was impressive, flavorful and a large portion. The standout drink of the evening was undoubtedly the orange crushes, which were vibrant and perfectly balanced. While the service was generally attentive and our server was exceptionally friendly, there was a slight hiccup when my crab soup was forgotten and, upon arrival, was disappointingly lacking in crab meat. However, this minor oversight did not overshadow the overall quality of the meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Despite this small setback, my experience at Headwater Grill was positive. The quick service, delicious food, and welcoming atmosphere left a lasting impression.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I look forward to returning and enjoying another meal, perhaps with the crab soup properly prepared next time! read more

I really don't like to give bad reviews, but this was awful. I have tried Headwater's a few times and it is not good. My friend wanted to try it for lunch so I thought maybe it would be better. I asked the server a few questions about some of the seafood dishes and she told me that everything I asked about was frozen products. She didn't know much about the food and I finally ordered a bacon cheeseburger, medium rare. It was terrible and was very well done. Poor quality and service. Not going back. read more

We called ahead for our party of 13. Were told they could serve us. Service was HORRIBLE & extremely slow! It took over 2 1/2 hrs to receive all our food and some had to take it to go because they had taken so long. The one person who ordered the rock fish. The Waitress kept saying "it's on the grill now" but the manager said "the problem was the cook was late and did t defrost it". Instead of telling him they couldn't make it, they just kept lying. And, now you know, it's not "fresh" fish but it's frozen. Then the waitress to over 30 minutes going back & forth to get the bills correct. Not one person was happy. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Good seafood, zero ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The portions were good and the service was attentive. They had a good beer menu

I refuse to believe Headwaters isn't a huge fan favorite among Easton locals. Seriously, if I were a local, I shudder to think how often I'd eat here. First, you gotta love the location. Right in the middle of a giant parking lot. On approach, it feels like you're driving up to a giant department store. I think they may be connected to one. Or some giant factory. So yeah, lotta pavement. In fact, the little patio area is like a sliver of pavement surrounded by a sea of pavement. Not much to look at. But you do get a nice breeze coming off the parking lot. Headwaters isn't a flashy place by any means. I don't even think they have a single pasta dish on the menu. It's just essentially what amounts to heaping portions of fresh seafood piled on top of your plate. I honestly can't remember in recent times when I felt a moment of pure, uncomplicated delight like the one I had that evening sitting in that abyss of concrete. Everything was served piping hot. Loved how all the fried food was golden and crispy. The food hit the mark on all levels. Live long and enjoy a happy life, said the fortune cookie. I'd recommend this place to anyone with a pulse. The dinner lost to time. read more

The atmosphere is open clean modern nautical. This restaurant appears to be a local favorite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have a very nice patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was friendly & excellent. We started with a refreshing DevilsBackbone brew. We tried the Red & White Crab Soup which is a nice unique blend of New England White & Maryland style crab soups. We had a tasty chicken wrap. We liked the fresh cob salad topped with perfectly cooked salmon. The special was catfish with a rich yummy sauce over grits. read more

The food is delicious but this is about extraordinary service and kindness that I experienced from the owner. On Sunday I was headed to Easton (85 miles) to surprise a friend who was hospitalized. Calls were made to several local carryout type places to get a crabcrake to brighten the visit. Alas on Sunday that proved difficult. I called Headwaters to order only to discover that they only do brunch on Sunday. I explained my plot and asked if they could recommend a possible location to acquire the crabcake..Much to my surprise he said I will do it so you can take it to the hospital. Honestly that type of goodness deserves recognition. I ordered two so my so in law could also have one left a generous tip and took what I am told by both who ate them that they were excellent as well. Reward this gem...go and help them continue their success. I will surely go when on the area. Thank you to the kind gentleman and staff. Blessings upon your business... read more

I wanted to like it - the reviews were really good.... I saw catfish and knew this was my kind of place but after the food came out, I was surprised. The staff was ok. The parking was plentiful (as they share space with Harris Teeter and a few other establishments. I ordered to go (catfish platter and kids shrimp). I ordered hush puppies and greens. Kids shrimp came with tots. Price was about $26 total. The food was, well - not good....but the staff was decent so I won'y say horrid experience but I won't return. The shrimp when crunchy like that make me think of bagged frozen shrimp. The fish smelled weird and the batter was too much of something - couldn't eat it. The tots were warm and choppy - not cooked well and had the seasoning too - maybe old bay ? it was red and sprinkled but I did not like it - could not eat. I ate the shrimp - thats all - wasted my money! read more

Service is great. We (2) go about once a week. We usually order a lb of steamed shrimp and an order of tater tot's. Shrimp are steamed to order and have always been good. Cocktail sauce has an adequate level of horseradish. Beer is cold, ice tea always fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Gets a bit noisy at times.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very informal atmosphere and they'll put tables together to accommodate groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is a nice charming restaurant with terrific food and hospitality. We stopped by for dinner on a whim during a road trip and were very glad we did! They had a good number of people, but the lofted ceilings made the restaurant feel spaceous and airy and not crowded at all. We were able to see the kitchen, and all the food got served immediately after they were ready so they never sat too long and were pipping hot. We got the crab stuffed rockfish and fried cod and both tasted super fresh. We also got fried clams but ate it so fast we forgot to take a picture (it was that good!) Collard greens were fresh and smokey tasting which added to the depths of the flavor. The Ceasar salad though was over dressed, so if you do get it I suggest asking for the dressing on the side. read more

I really enjoy coming here for a nice dinner. They always have specials every week, and often feature local seafood on the menu. They have great service and offer a full bar, with excellent beverages. It's sort of tucked away from things do you might miss it. It is worth the trip and if you like they have outdoor seating for those beautiful evenings. I loved their fried oysters they had on special and hope they'll offer them more often. read more

Okay but for real! So you walk up and at first glance you see a place with more light then one might want for a nice dinner but don't let that throw you! Push through until you get to do face to face with the good people who staff this establishment! For starters I got the Buffalo Tuna Bites: Y'all!!! This is a must have and if there's more than two people in your party get 1 per 2 people! These are FIRE!!! Like Oh My Goodness!!! I came in with a big appetite so what I ordered was according to that! I got the Fried Seafood Platter (Crab Cake, Butterflied shrimp, and oyster strips)with sides of Tater Tots and Collard Greens: Fried Seafood Platter: The crab cake was perfect their blend of FRESH CRAB MEAT and spices really set them apart from many others I have enjoyed! The butterflied shrimp were perfectly cooked, not rubbery or raw but right on point! And lastly the oyster strips, while I was a little apprehensive at first these were quite delicious and not at all texturally off putting! ALL OF THESE ITEMS paired with the house made tartar sauce and homemade cocktail sauce made this a spectacular gastronomic adventure!!! Tater Tots: seasoned to perfection with any of the house sauces makes this an absolute treat of a side! LAST AND ABSOLUTELY NOT LEAST!!!! The COLLARED GREENS!!!: The perfect amount of bacon and onion and everything else that makes for this wonderful side beyond that of any greens you've had anywhere else (maybe besides your mother's house)!! This meal paired with a good amount of cocktails left me absolutely gastronomically replete!!! read more

This place is awesome! Other people's reviews led me here and I'm so glad they did. Great, friendly and knowledgeable service and fantastic food. I had the red and white crab soup (some of, if not the best, crab soup I've had anywhere) and the tuna tostada special (blackened ahi and lightly grilled pineapple over creamy coleslaw and greens...with creamy wasabi sauce in a fried wonton bowl). I highly recommend this place and I will be returning. read more

Best fried oysters in the area!!! All the food we have gotten here has been very good. For the most part, service is very slow. We waited for over an hour for our lunch one time.

I thought I had come across a good find based upon others reviews. We had fried oysters, crab bisque, crab dip, and various other items. The only things that I rate above an ok was the Mac and cheese that my daughter had and the service was good. The ambiance of a strip mall and fairly pricey fair food.

Probably would give 2.5 stars if that was possible. Nice location and staff however food was overcooked and just bland. Ordered the lamb burger and tots special. They were out if tots, so I ordered waffle fries. The waffle fries did not resemble waffle fries at all, they were over fried, crunchy, little pieces of potatoes. The lamb burger was supposed to be cooked medium was well done and burnt on the outside. It was very dry and just okay. We also ordered rockfish platter which was better but needed some seasoning, on the plain side. The hushpuppies were also in need of seasoning, very dry and overcooked too. I don't think we will be back. read more
