This place rocks! It is the only restaurant of its kind in this area! I will say, their crab cakes are amazing however I wont order the crab cake sandwich. Its more bread that is pretty dry and dense that doesnt help the sandwich. Also their french fries are really, really oily! The devil eggs are amazing! I wish they had other sides instead of the few they offer. The service is great and the restaurant its-self is beautiful! So they get 5 stars! Will definitely be back!!! read more

1 of my favorite places to go. The service is always excellent and the food is really good I normally go with pork tacos or Guinness pie. During the summer it has great views overlooking the water read more

Was here for brunch last Sunday. Reservations are a must as seating is limited due to Covid restrictions and social distancing protocols. The service was excellent. We were looking to relax and have a slow paced meal so we took a lot of time between ordering drinks, apps and main course. Our waiter never had a problem with that and didn't rush us to turn the table over. The homemade sticky bun and baked oysters were excellent choices for starters. I had the eggs Benedict which was delicious and the wife had the unpronounceable baked egg and feta dish which she said was very good. Great service and consistently good food makes Ketch a choice spot. Looking forward the warmer months when outdoor seating is available again. read more

We came we saw and we did eat. Food was absolutely fresh and AMAZING!! Waterfront view is a plus, with inside and outside seating. Outstanding service from The door to our seat and beyond...true service with a smile..the only catch here is you don't have two stomachs. read more

This was our first trip here since the remodel ... First off , we loved the update and openness of the remodel, as well as the entire theme of the restaurant. We did notice a nice simple and tasteful menu, a good variety of choices, yet not an over loaded amount, and everything on the menu was under $20 with the exception of the rib eye. Now as far as the food and drinks... We ordered the cream of crab soup, EXCELLENT! Not salty, with loads of crab meat in every bite.. Then we had the pork tacos... another excellent.. Next we had the wings, loved them, not too spicy and had a good zingy taste, The crab dip... now this was a little bit off, hence the 4 stars rather than the 5, it tasted like there may be a little more mayo then we are used to.. As far as the drinks we had a cherry lime crush and a key lime crush.. both were great and the key lime crush was like a desert.. This will be a weekly if not more stop for years to come... read more

Amazing! Just tried this spot for lunch and it was very good. Had a peach crush which was a delicious and perfectly balanced cocktail. For food we had pork tacos, crabcake, fries, wings, and the peach shortcake. The pork tacos were great and loved the homemade fries. Crabcake was very good and came with a delicious sauce. Wings had a very good flavor and were cooked perfectly but I wish they were separated and not the whole wing, a little hard to eat. The peach shortcake was my favorite 10/10, highly recommend. Outdoor seating was great and loved that you could see the water rather than the bar that used to be in the way. What made the experience a 10/10 was the phenomenal service! Really great experience and I can't wait to come back to try more of the food and drinks! read more

Loved the crab cake sandwich and it paired well with an IPA. I'm a little bit of a French fry snob but the fries with my sandwich were great. My wife got the burger and mixed drink (Limeade) off the menu. She loved it. The area of the restaurant with white walls is kinda loud when the tables are full. It could use some sound battening when the place is lively but that didn't detract from our dinner. Great food. Great place. read more

This used to be my favorite restaurant. I only gave it two stars for the sake of nostalgia and because the service is good. God bless the servers because the kitchen has totally failed, not once or twice, but consistently since the pandemic restrictions have been lifted. Brunch? Poached eggs like hard boiled eggs, sent back three times and they never got it right. They have been out of crab cakes for weeks while every other local restaurant has them. The oven was broken so some things were unavailable. Hamburger came rarer than rare when rare was not requested. Blue cheese coleslaw had no blue cheese; cucumbers vinaigrette virtually without vinegar; feta appetizer meant to be shared with table has two tiny pieces of toast; Caesar salad drowned in dressing. I took everyone from out of town to Ketch 22 and met local friends there regularly. It breaks my heart to see this once wonderful, reliable restaurant fail. It was an oasis in a desert of mediocre restaurants. Now it's even worse than the mediocre restaurants. read more

Excellent food , a gem in the beach. Water views , clean and wait staff very helpful and courteous

Great location on the water. We had the fried pickles - YUM!!!! Sooooo yummy!!! Mom had fish and chips OMG sooooo delish. Will be back!!! read more

We've been twice for drinks. Thought we'd give brunch a try. They did not disappoint! Ashley was great! Sam also checked in on us from time to time. The American was really good. I like my eggs scrambled hard, they were perfect! He likes his eggs soft. The crab omelette was perfect! Great Mimosas(pear & peach). The beignets were really good! We'll definitely come back to give dinner a try! Great ambiance as well! read more

10/10. Some of the best food I've had in Maryland. The views are great too! Staff is wonderful.

This place is amazing! I love ordering a ton of chicken tenders right before closing because they taste different than usual and have some added taste. Their entire staff is awesome but avoid ordering the Decaf because it sucks. Otherwise, I love this place and can't wait to come back for more!!! read more

First, let me say this place is really gorgeous. Second, they have really good pretzels--very soft and a little chewy with the right amount of salt. Everything else was pretty bad. The menu is pretty limited, so I picked the crab dip. It had less than an ounce of crab meat in it, and I think they took one spinach leaf and cut it in tiny pieces. It was basically a cheese dip. I tried to order a virgin strawberry mojito, but it was so flavorless (no mint or lime--just strawberry in club soda) that I sent it back. As for service, the waitress was nice enough but maybe inexperienced. I got one glass of water that sat empty for at least 20 minutes, and I was not offered a refill. Then when it was time to pay, she charged me for the drink. When she came back to the table, she asked if I wanted her to remove the drink. So I said yes, and she did. Also, my silverware was dirty, and there was a hair in my napkin. read more

Upon walking in I was amazed at the restaurant, it was beautiful. It took quite a bit of time to get helped. And once we did we were literally forgotten (waitresses words not our) several times. The crab dip was good, a bit bland but the pretzels were amazing! We could have used 4 with the amount of dip. The fries were over seasoned with thyme, it was all I could taste but the pork tacos were AMAZING! The waitress forgot about us for so long we lost desire to get desert there. read more

This is one of the better food establishments in the North Beach area. I brought my sister here because she was hungry, I didn't feel like cooking, and I'm not a fan of local restaurants. This place did not disappoint...for the most part. The cream of crab soup was pretty amazing. Don't forget to mix the Old Bay before diving in...my first bite was a salty one. After I stirred my bowl a bit the flavor was perfect! The crab meat was plentiful. The crab beignets were pretty good as well...a perfect blend with the salad mix they come sitting on. The apples in the salad made it pop. My steak was good, a bit overpriced, but I felt that there could have been more seasoning on the meat. The chimichurri topping was good though. I'll definitely come back for the soup and try other items on the menu. read more

Wonderful diverse menu that changes with the seasons, the service is great, the decor is modern and comfortable

It was quite and slow, so I can't speak to how well they perform under pressure. Fish and chips were AMAZINGGGGGG.

This is a relay nice place; the food, the service and the ambience are great. We ordered the crab cake sandwich with the Dutch slaw side and they were great, the pork tacos (2) were flavorful and enough for an adult and the burgers for kids are really good and affordable. Our server was really polite and he also recommended local beers and told us about a local farmers maker on Fridays were you can get beer from the local breweries . read more

Pork tacos were great. Cucumber salad was very boring and not that great. I don't recommend getting that as a side. Fries were great. The place was a bit dirty when we arrived and there were flies EVERYWHERE! I was pretty shocked when I saw the hostess seat a table with the whole floor around the table and chairs dirty with the last customers' food all over the place. I almost said something to them but decided not to. We will definitely be back, but I just hope the place is cleaner next time or else it will probably be the last time. read more

The staff is wonderful and the service is excellent. But I was really disappointed with the food I was expecting more and it just didn't hit the spot for me. read more

Six of us had a reservation for 5 pm. We were served dinner at 6:15pm. We were constantly wondering where the waitress was to refill drinks. She did a good job when she could help us, but was stretched too thin. All of our dips and sauces were very spicy. If you like that, then you'd enjoy a taco meal. The food was okay but not good for the prices. The burgers were great, so I recommend skipping the seafood/tacos. The two burger eaters were the only ones happy with their meal. read more

Super lucky to score a free table on a busy Saturday nite. Outdoor deck seating overlooking the Marina and watching the sunset and enjoying expert cocktails and cuisine...perfect date nite! Bobby was attentive but not intrusive (he was running around taking care of us and a huge inside party) so we got extra bonus time with the sunset and our drinks. The manager on a busy Sunday morning was kind enough to help us look for our missing credit card before we had to leave town. Found it! Stellar customer service! Crab cake one of the best we've ever had- crisp exterior and tender filling with tons of lump crab. Maryland crab soup loaded with crab and veg. Not over seasoned with gobs of Old Bay like too many places do. Chicken salad and tuna tacos were tasty, fresh, complex and smart. These foodies looking for some Maryland nostalgia flavors with a modern twist left super happy. Will be back when we pass through town again. read more

We go over to grab a drink and a bite to eat from our sailboat. We sat at the outside bar order a bottle of wine and 2 appetizers. 40 minutes later after asking several time about our foodand being told the chef was backed up we received our luke warm steak fries and cheese curds. We complained at this point I was over it. The check was tossed to us by a now rude bar tender. The facilities are beautiful, and the pool way too crowed. I would not return. So disappointed. read more

Ketch 22 is a gem located on the western shore of the Chesapeake bay. Great food, good drinks and a wonderful atmosphere. I've only had 1 bad meal at this place, and still give is a 5 out of 5 rating. Just when I think this place couldn't get any better, I went in for their Sunday brunch menu, and they knocked it out of the park! read more

First time visiting since the restaurant changed from Mangos. The decor, furnishings, outdoor area, bar, everything for that matter are all a vast improvement over what was Mangos. The GOOD: The menu, on first glance looks a little limited, but after giving it a closer look there seems to be something for everyone's taste. The hostess immediately greeted us as soon as we entered and we were seated quickly and the waitress came for drink orders within minutes. We ordered our app and main at the same time and the apps came out quickly. As soon as we finished the apps, our table was cleared and our meals were brought out. Overall very timely in the prep and service departments. We both ordered the cream of crab soup for an app. It was described as a cup, but it was much more generous than a cup, which was welcome considering how good it was. Thick, creamy with plenty of lump crab meat. At $8 a great value. My girl ordered the grilled rib eye and I had the bumpy burger. The burger was tasty but the rib eye with the smashed fingerling potatoes was incredible. She really enjoyed it. It was tasty, cooked as ordered and a good quality cut of meat. The only downside with the steak was the price at $34. The drinks from the bar were on the generous size as well. Tasted great too. The NOT SO GOOD: The restaurant is LOUD. It reminded me of a high school lunch cafeteria. Granted we were there in a Saturday evening and the restaurant had a lot of the tables occupied, but I've been in similar conditions elsewhere and haven't noticed this level of noise. The sound from every table seemed to bounce around and just become white noise so bad that you couldn't hear the music coming from the overhead speakers and normal conversation across the table had to be repeated. The interior renovations provided hard wall surfaces, wood plank ceilings in some areas, and laminate type hard floors throughout. There are no walls or partitions to separate the various areas of the interior (bar, high top tables and conventional restaurant seating). I'm sure all these hard surfaces make for easy clean-up and maintenance but they are terrible for acoustics. We were seated at a two person high top table. We were in the center, with another occupied high top on left and right sides. The space between the high tops was so tight it took a conscious effort to squeeze between them to get to the bench without bumping the neighbors' table. The waitress serving us had to reach over my shoulder to serve my lady on the opposite side of the table because there simply isn't enough space between the tables for her to serve from the center of the table. Sitting this close you or the strangers on both sides of you aren't going to have a private conversation! While we didn't venture outside, the outdoor seating area and outdoor tiki style bar looked very inviting. Overall, it was a good dining experience and I know we'll be back to try other things from the menu. But I think we'll go during a less busy time or weekday to have a little more peace and quite while eating. read more

Best new dining in the area with great marina views on the bay, delicious dishes and a great selection of draft beers and fresh cocktails. The outside bar staff is super- friendly and attentive. I've been there 4-5 times in so many weeks since they opened and every experience has been excellent. Highly recommended: fried green tomatoes with fresh crab and remoulade, sticky wings (!), "bumpy" burger, mussels, and chicken salad melt. All of their flavors are unique and addictive. Most other eateries in the area have comparatively large menus with commensurate mass bland food- this is an exciting change! read more

Ketch 22 - Seafood Near Me - North Beach, Maryland

I was really excited to try this place after receiving a glowing recommendation from my Airbnb host. The decor and flatware are decidedly beachy and coastal without being tacky. The mussels were big and juicy and well cleaned. I sent back my "loretto plum" cocktail because it was so lemony that it was barely drinkable. My waiter was happy to replace it with a daiquiri but still charged me for both drinks (despite the first being hardly touched). Definitely coming back! read more

The building / location is impressive, I'm sure this place is hopping in the Summer. As it's Winter, there was hardly anyone in there when my wife and I went for dinner. I got the ahi tuna tacos and they were incredible, definitely 5 out of 5. Unfortunately, I have to give a 3 star rating for a few reasons. 1. The first soup spoon they gave me was dirty (not a big deal). 2. My wife's crab bisque soup was cold when they served it to her (also not a big deal, she told the waitress and she brought a new one). 3. My wife ordered a $19 chicken breast entree, and they brought her out a small / flimsy piece of chicken that definitely was NOT a chicken breast and was more bone than meat. The side was a hash of squash and brussel sprouts. Definitely not worth $10, let alone $19, and who skimps on a protein as cheap as chicken? read more

If waiting 2-3 minutes to get a second choice draft beer, because your initial wasn't replaced, on a Tuesday night, meanwhile having the worst experience, while the mute "bartender" finally serves you is what you call a good time.....than look no further! This is it!! I continually say that as I fight my reservations of once again visiting such a scenic place. Lovely view, lost among a sea of less than intriguing souls working the mundane bar life. Is there really something much more interesting in your phone, Manager? Is it no longer necessary to walk the business and connect with patrons? See their disdain? Recognize regulars? Jeeze. And as history will repeat itself inside and out of the Ketch doors....I will end up there again and hesitantly hope for the best!!! :( read more

I came I saw I ate we left. Wait staff and hostess seemed nice. When I came to the menu limit it on those options for a non seafood eating person. Everything seemed overdone into artsy twist. And quite frankly to charge $2 as a premium side for French fries seems a little high. Like I said I can now check this off from my list as some place I've tried. If you ever wanted to know if they could screw up a cheese burger....the answer is yes. WILL NOT BE BACK read more

The food was good, and the service was good as well, the location was nice and plenty of outdoor seating. Knocked off a star since we were told there's about 10 to 15 minutes wait time before being seated over the phone which turned to 45 minutes when we got there. read more

Good food, parking was inconvenient, but that's not necessarily the restaurant's fault. Staff was very accommodating with 2 kids and 2 adults! Thank you! read more

Good food friendly staff a bit expensive but awesome for special occasions. Great seating outside on nice days with water views!

Favorite Summer Restaurant. Beautiful outdoor patio, delicious and affordable food and libations.

Drinks are awesome and the location and views are amazing. I'm not the biggest fan of the pool right by the outside bar but it gives an easy and quick get away for parents who are in desperate need of a poolside drink! Lol crab dip isn't very impressive and the crab mac and cheese isn't either. I think I'll stick to just drinks here. read more

Food was too salty and not flavorful. My fish and chips was a horrible mess. It was the worse fish and chips I ever had. Wings were good but very salty. read more

Walked in and smelled the french fries! That started the juices following, looking forward to a great lunch! I remarked to the server about the fries smelling so good and I'd like them with the house burger with the bacon jam as one of the condiments. Had a great craft beer and that unfortunately was the highlight of the meal. The plate came with the bottom of the bag of fries, must've been forty or so little spuds. The burger although cooked just right came with several cold pieces of pork belly instead of the bacon jam, seriously pretty gross! The bun had even fallen apart from being stale. Even though the server was fairly apologetic about it once I'd eaten what I could of my meal she failed to come back to the table until we were finished the meal. I can't believe that she nor anyone in the kitchen saw the way the meal was presented? (We were only one of 3 tables in the place) I always try to support local businesses but unfortunately due to a super bad meal and service I'll never return to Ketch 22. read more

So...we ordered fried pickles....TWICE. The pickles are super thick and came out like completely raw! Bite into it and raw dough pours out! Nasty AF. THEN...when my order of fish and chips came out, I had the weirdest taste in my mouth, so what do I do, smell the fish and it's STRAIGHT AMMONIA! So next I google, why does my fish smell like ammonia and this is what pops up: "Uncooked spoiled seafood can have sour, rancid, fishy, or ammonia odors. These odors become stronger after cooking. ... If you smell either a fleeting or persistent ammonia odor in cooked seafood, do not eat it." I had the other three people at my table smell it and yes, smells like ammonia. So I send it back and go figure, NO ONE in the kitchen can smell it...so apparently I'm overreacting. Server, Russell, was great though, not his fault but management definitely walking around and said nothing to me...wonder why...WILL NEVER COME BACK AND PRAY TO GOD I DONT GET SICK TONIGHT. Never again, beware!! read more
