    The view from our outside seating, late April as the clouds moved in..
    Dan C.

    Looks like all the construction is done and the parking lot is finally cleared. Finding a handicap spot upfront was easy. It is still a bit of a walk to get to the restaurant. This could be back on our favored list because the food was excellent today. I had the shrimp and fries platter. The shrimp were huge and beautifully butterflied and my wife had a shrimp and vegetable platter. The tuna bites were done to a perfection, as ordered, red in the middle. None of the cocktails seemed appealing, so we went with beer. The server was spot on and the view from the deck was relaxing.

    Longboard Club Sandwich

    Tucked away with a beautiful view, good food is AND strong drinks?! Sign me up! Stopped in for lunch and was not disappointed. We order a bowl of she crab soup (9/10, wish there was a bit more crab), the lunch special grilled chicken caesar wrap (10/10, & it's served with fries), the longboard club sandwich (9/10, & served with soup) and last but not least, the blue raspberry cosmo, which was strong and delicious (10/10!) Service was decent even though things started to pick up after being there for a few minutes. I'd definitely come back again and sit outside next time to take in more of the view.

    Such a cute spot to get food and drinks! I had been eyeing this place for so long and finally got to try it. We went around sunset time and sat outside. The view by the water was so relaxing and cute. We ordered a blue raspberry cosmo (10/10, was strong but still good), Crab mac and cheese appetizer (10/10), Lava burger (7/10, a little bland), and the Fried fish tacos with rice and beans and mac salad (8/10, lacked in flavor a little but was still decent). Total bill was $70. Overall, we enjoyed our food and definitely are gonna return to try some other items and their lunch/happy hour. Our waitress was really nice also. My overall rate of experience : 7.5/10

    Longboards is such a great restaurant with beautiful views of the marina and water. Our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive, always on top of everything which made the experience even better. They have some really nice happy hour deals, and we started off with the crab dip. As a Maryland girl, I thought the flavor was delicious, but it could have used way more crab. For my meal, I had the shrimp tacos and they were an absolute 10/10--fresh, flavorful, and definitely something I'd come back for. Between the service, views, and food, this place is definitely worth a visit.

    I love Longboard's but I just can't eat there anymore. I use to love the fish and chips. Over cooked..... Now Burger night.... The fries are so over cooked I thought I was going to break a tooth. The staff and folks are wonderful but the food really needs some help.

    Crab dip

    Wanted a decent place with a friend and boy was I disappointed to the max. Don't let the ambiance by the water and all fool you. We sat down ordered few beers and got our food. Crab dip - creamy and savory! Bread was seasoned with old bay..good, but salty parts. Overall good. Fish and chips - worst I've had in my life. The "fish" was about less than half an inch thick, and didn't fill the breading, which leads me to believe it's been sitting in the fridge and old. That's usually what happens when it's sitting on the shelf. Shrivels up and becomes dry. See pictures. Also, one? I always at a minimum get two. The sides..coleslaw had potential. Good sauce, but you can see the translucent cabbage. It's screaming old vegetables. Would rather have coleslaw from KFC. Fries? Not hard to mess up. It was fine. Service was good. Staff are friendly! I'd say come here for beer and maybe some fries and that's about it. Never coming back.

    Parking is very difficult due to all the construction. Be prepared to park on the street. Not a long time waiting. More guys working the floor than I've ever seen and this is a top five business for me. Music is soft and its slightly busy for lunch. Food was okay.... I ordered the chicken wing special with fries. It was okay. I'm used to the food here being top notch. This won't stop me from coming, could've just been a day.

    The island ambiance is relaxed, fun, and a cool place to have dinner and drinks. The bar tender was awesome, she gave us great food recommendations and didn't disappoint! Everything tasted fantastic! I was so full but I couldn't stop eating. We came back a second time and was still so tasty! There is a lot going on in the area as far as construction but it is a cute restaurant next to the marina with a pretty view.

    Lunch was good, service was kind of slow. One member of our party didn't get their food until the rest of us were midway through.

The location itself has a nice setup with indoor seating, outdoor seating, and a covered porch-style area that feels like a screened-in four-season space, which was really pleasant. We were seated fairly quickly and received menus, but there was some confusion because the menu listed breakfast and brunch items only. We were hoping to order lunch, but were later informed that lunch service doesn't begin until after 2:30 PM. I do wish that detail was clearly noted on their website, as it wasn't mentioned and it would've helped set expectations ahead of time. The brunch menu itself was fairly limited and didn't have many standout options for us. I ended up asking for a BLT with fries, and my friend ordered a crab cake sandwich. We also asked about cocktails since prices weren't listed on the menu (only happy hour pricing was shown). We were initially told drinks were around $11, later informed our Palomas were actually $9, which was a nice surprise--but it would be helpful if regular pricing was clearly displayed. Service was a bit inconsistent. It took a while for our waitress to initially greet us, and after our food arrived, we had to flag someone down for basic condiments (ketchup, mayo on the side, and tartar/remoulade for the crab cake). Our waitress did check on us once during the meal, but overall service felt a little stretched. Food came out very quickly once ordered, which we appreciated. However, attention to detail with plating could improve--for example, the tomato used in my sandwich was the end piece, which affected the overall quality of the sandwich presentation. Overall, I would consider coming back, but more for lunch or dinner rather than brunch. The atmosphere and location are nice, but the brunch experience and service consistency didn't fully meet expectations this visit.

Since there was an hour wait at that restaurant, we decided on HK on the Bay. Thankfully, there wasn't a wait at all so we were seated right away. Our server came to our table right away and gave us time to look over the menu. We were very intrigued with all the menu options. They offer normal bar-type food like wings, fries, nachos and egg rolls but they also offer meatloaf, fajitas, chicken & dumplings and seafood as well. I decided on the Crab Dip, Loaded Brussels Basket and Southwest Egg Rolls and my friend ordered the HK Rolls and a side of Garlic Risotto. The food was served fairly quickly and everything was pretty good. The Loaded Brussels were my favorite; however, I probably wouldn't get the Gouda on it next time. I tasted my friend's HK Rolls and they weren't bad, not my favorite though. Since it was Wednesday, I inquired about their "$.75 Wing Deal" and the server said the deals are over at 9pm, even though they close at 10pm. I thought that was very odd to end their specials before the place closed and since it was a little after 9pm, it would've been nice to know that in advance. Overall, we had a nice experience. HK definitely seems like a local's favorite. The food is tasty, the place is clean and the staff is very nice.

The atmosphere is relaxed and coastal, and the food absolutely delivered, fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a classic seafood spot. I went with my partner and in-laws and they had a great time too. One of the highlights is their crushes, they really do serve the cocktail of the town with tons of options to choose from. Perfect pairing for a laid-back lunch by the water with views of boaters coming and going. Another highlight is the she-crab soup. It is award-winning for a reason. Just a heads up: parking can be a bit tricky since it's shared with a nearby restaurant and a boat ramp, so plan a few extra minutes. Totally worth it once you're seated though. Overall, such a fun and delicious experience, like most of my reviews I'll be back.

The last time I set foot inside their Pleasure House Rd location was at least 10 years ago. I celebrated my birthday there as my friends were kind enough to take me out. It was a Sunday morning and I sought out a place that offered brunch. I noticed 1608 was open and decided to head over, especially since I haven't visited them in ages. When I walked in, I noticed their dining room is dimly lit - much darker than I remember. I was greeted immediately by a kind hostess and she proceeded to sit me at a nearby table and provided me with menus (one food, one alcohol). I took my time looking over the food menu, and in the meantime I ordered a pint of Center of the Universe's Bald Irishman and a bottle of Boylan's Black Cherry soda (they do not have a soda fountain). What made this visit memorable was that 1608's bartender, Hunter, was an old acquaintance from back in my restaurant days. He spotted me and came over to say hi. After my meal, I continued to catch up with him at the bar. His presence made a pleasant experience even more fantastic. I thought I was hungry, so I ordered 2 dishes - Smoked Ham Fried Rice and the Breakfast Burrito. According to Hunter, every item is made fresh in house. After biting into each, you could tell that's true. Both the fried rice and burrito were delicious and boasted lots of flavor. Although I prefer my fried rice a bit simpler (if you give me just garlic fried rice, I am SET), 1608's fried rice (veggies, garlic, soy, basmati rice, 2 runny eggs, smoked ham) had a lot going on, which made for a flavorful dish. I liked the rice and the burrito (Korean style fried chicken breast, scrambled eggs, cilantro lime, cheddar, pico de gallo) a lot. I didn't finish either because it was a lot of food (I really thought I was hungry, haha). But these leftovers turned into a fantastic dinner later on. 1608 looked clean and organized, although I thought it was a little too dark inside, at least for brunch service. That's not a dealbreaker since everything from the food to the service was as excellent as I remember. I hope to return soon with my mom. Regardless, I'll find my way back eventually. Thank you, 1608 Crafthouse! And great seeing you again, Hunter! JV

I do understand restaurants wanting to seat the whole table at the same time but it did make the entrance/exit a bit crowded for everyone else. I didn't look around inside too much but did see empty tables. I approached the two people at the front desk about my pick-up order and they pointed me to a different pick-up desk (with two more people there). They had maybe ten bags of pick-up orders but were able to find mine quickly. I was pretty glad to get out of there quickly and enjoy our food at home.
