My fish and chips were excellent! The batter was nice and light and let the fish shine through. The not so great was the coleslaw and tarter sauce - they both need a lot of help in the flavor department. They took boring to a whole new level. read more

We had to drive to get here but it was definitely worth the trek! Great vibe with really cool outdoor seating. Alison did a great job guiding through the menu. While the place was hopping tonight, she took very good care of us. As for the food, it was very good and well priced. Our apps and meals were delicious. Desserts were very good too. Highly recommend hitting this hidden gem and I will be back! read more

If you like stale bread and RARE cheeseburgers for kids, this is the place for you. We had to send back two out of three of our kids meals. One kids' meal had a rare cheeseburger, then another was a grilled cheese with bread so stale that it was crumbly. Also, we didn't realize the kids' meals came with fries OR fruit, the menu was not quite clear. Regardless, I feel as though the server could have mentioned "the fruit will be extra" so I could have corrected my decision. There was absolutely no reason why I would EVER pay $15 for $3 worth of pineapple, especially for kids. The waitress was nice enough, I was just very annoyed about the fruit situation. She seemed to think it was intuitive and kinda shrugged when I told her about the confusion. With four kids, $15 for fruit is just insane. She brought cheesecake as an apology for the messed up kids' meals. But I would have rather not had the cheesecake and just gotten the fruit taken off the ticket. They didn't even eat it, as kids do. The restaurant was nice. It just looked a little run down. Like the floors were extremely dirty, they need a good cleaning. Despite being very busy, we were seated quickly-that was a pleasant surprise. In summary, be prepared to send food back to be cooked properly. And good Lord, make sure you don't accidentally order fruit, it's $5 for 10 small chunks of pineapple. read more

Went here Sat evening with my husband and Daughter. It was quite busy and we didn't want to sit on the porch (enclosed but still chilly), so we sat at the bar . It was nice in the bar area not terribly crazy. Both bartenders were very friendly attentive and helpful. My daughter and I shared a large Lures Caesar which they split for us in the kitchen. It was very good. Husband got Maryland fried rice which he loved. Daughter got short ribs with a cream sauce. It was very tasty- a large portion and very tender . I got the grilled Cobia with Rockefeller Risotto.. Delicious but very rich. One thing I especially like is that they have mocktails on the menu. I had one with hibiscus tea and NA sparkling wine. It was very refreshing. I enjoyed it a lot . We will definitely go back again. read more

Service: great! Atmosphere: great! Food: Meh. OK. The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't great! We got fish and chips and a crab cake. The fish and chips was four small battered cod fingers and some thin cut cook-from-frozen fries for $20. The crab cake presented well but it was a little dry and cost $33 (market). As we left, we agreed that we wouldn't be back for seafood which is a shame since the restaurant has a fisherman theme. We might go back to try some of the land proteins, though. read more

We came at 5:30 and sat in the bar area and we got happy hour apps and drinks. The appetizers included sliders, mussels, a wrap and one other. The margaritas and crushes were the happy hour drinks. The food was excellent, everyone ordered fish-fish and chips, scallops, rock fish and a lamb dish. Our server was Jess and she was excellent. We love Lures! read more

Ughhh !!! Sunday brunch. It was nice that we were sat right away. Bartender was amazing, but she had to serve a big engagement party drinks along with bar customers & tend to tables at the same time. Food was awful ordered the breakfast sandwich stated 2 eggs over easy,came with only 1 egg and hard and sausage which had no flavor. So took her awhile to ask us if everything was okay... also asked for a Aperol Spritz and they have No Aperol.? Story over..Will never go there for brunch again!!! read more

Love the bar area! The food is great- we had the rockfish bites and the cheese steak egg rolls. Both were amazing! read more

The food, service and atmosphere are good. The beer selection is great. I enjoy going here

Outdoor seating is excellent when it's not too hot.Food is fabulous. Service is a bit too casual.

Ordered crab cakes after seeing they were gluten free. They were great - all crab! Mashed potatoes were just like dad's, bringing back good memories. Drinks were wonderful too. Service excellent. It was really busy, but we could all talk without disturbances. Great experience. read more

This place is a f*king joke. We just tried to have a drink at the bar, informed it's self seating. The bartender, says "you can't sit there, go to the hostess". Then the hostess says "oh those circular tables and the island tables are different". Who's on first? I was ready to have a nice dinner and some drinks but they don't want your business. They made it impossible to enjoy this restaurant. Don't bother. read more

This is THE premier place in the Annapolis area for beautifully prepared fresh caught fish. They also do a bodacious Filet Mignon. We love the different choices they offer for preparation styles. And they are very flexible and accommodating in customizing to order. Chris (the owner's son) is a terrific host and made sure we were able to get our preference just right on a very busy day when it must have been difficult-we were most impressed. Marque is (in our opinion) the best chef in town and he is also super friendly, creative and helpful. His flavor combinations are out of this world. And service is always great too (thanks Miranda!) We highly recommend Lures-although judging from the crowds, the word has gotten out big time... read more

I feel like I've been driving past this place for ages. A few months back I pointed it out to my wife [she already knew about it] and we started tossing it around as an option for dinner, but the other day we finally decided to give it a try for brunch. The staff was very friendly, and the inside has a cool vibe. Once we were sat, we watched orders come out while we decided what to eat and you could just tell it was going to be good. Everything that came past us looked delicious and the brunch menu had a lot of options. I ended up getting the braised lamb omelette, with both the rosemary potatoes and jalapeno [cheddar I think] grits, and these may have been the best grits i've ever had. My wife got the Huevos Ranchero. The kids got avocado toast and a crab omelette. We all enjoyed our meals, and for me that's big because it rare. Now we have a place for everybody, which is great because some of our other family go-to's have taken a dive over the past 2 years. If you're in the area, or looking for something new I highly recommend this location. I can't wait to come back for dinner, I've already seen a few items from the regular menu that I can't wait to try out. read more

Met up with a group of friends for brunch on a Sunday and we're able to get seated quickly! Our server was super attentive and friendly, a 10/10 for service! The food was also delish. The fried pickles were really good, and everyone enjoyed their entree. I got the pasta dish which was creamy and flavorful. Can't wait to go back! read more

Very unprofessional angry looking , manager last night. Excellent bartender though .. Dinner was great

Walked in to have dinner and a drink, started to head into right hand bar, saw there was a private party, asked the server walking by if it was in fact a private party, she slammed the door in my face. Left and Won't be back for a good long while. Good luck. read more

We had a large party and they were very accommodating! Our server, Audrey, was on top of her game! She took care of us, made sure that we had the correct orders, and corrected any discrepancies. The food was great. They appear to have a very good seafood menu and everyone in the party seemed satisfied. We were seated outside, which worked out well, with the nice weather that day. It was a really comfortable atmosphere and we enjoyed our visit. We look forward to going back! read more

Been back 4 times over last several months and Lures is fabulous. I cannot figure out what happened but we stayed away for a while. Today's lunch superb. Salad great blackened halibut was unbelievable. My wife 's Bloody Mary and salmon salad were tasty and large. Overall great service, wonderful food and a large albeit geriatric crowd. Like us read more

Overall, I believe the service at this place is next level. Specifically Ava, a bartender (I think). She treats others like humans rather than customers. Me and my mother came in 10 minutes before closing (I know, crazy) and we encountered a homeless man who needed help. Ava was welcoming and willing to help us find the man a ride to a shelter. When we left, she continued to help the man. Such a kind soul. We really need more people like Ava in customer service. Give her a raise! read more

Amazing! Ordered the honey salmon, beet , goat cheese salad. Highly recommend! Wonderful service & cider beer as well! read more

We stopped here on our way back from a soccer game. The crab dip, burger and the crab cake sandwich were all excellent. Best crab cake I have had in a long time-- no fillers and tastes/smells fresh. I wish we lived closer. I would come here often. And the service was impeccable. read more

Service. Period. Sat at a table in the bar area for ten minutes...servers walked by without even acknowledging my presence , "hi - we are busy but will be with you as soon as possible" is all it takes. Even front door person didn't greet as I walked in so I should have known... Been here several times in the past with family and friends but probably not taking that ride up Generals hwy again, for this. read more

We decided to stop for a quick bite of lunch. We were seated immediately and the place was bustling. It is a bright place decorated in a modern marine theme. Our server Audrey was personable and professional. She checked on us always at the perfect time. We ordered the Meyer Lemon Meringue Crush and I had the Watermelon crush. Both cocktails were made well and as described. We shared the cream of crab soup and the burger. Both were made well, I just wished the soup was a tad thicker. Overall Lure's Bar and Grille was a wonderful choice on this perfect Saturday afternoon. read more

We have a large group of friends and family gathering after the burial. We got there and they had us set up in the front bar room where we were efficiently and respectfully taken care of by our waitress. She handled us with amazing efficiency.

Even in the winter, it still feels like summer at Lures. This spot is a classic, with a great staff and even better food. Whether you come for lunch or dinner, this is a great place to catch up with friends or family while enjoying some good food. The Crab Dip never misses and the addition of sun dried tomatoes on top is a game changer. The Filet Mignon Sliders are always a hit at our table. I tried the Cranberry Almond Chicken Salad for the first time and it was so good, pretty filling for a salad. Mushroom and Swiss burger is classic. My sister always gets the Chicken Verde Rice bowl which always comes with a kick of spice. Overall just a great spot for food, drinks and hanging out. And of course, you can't forget to spot your goldfish. read more

Came by for a work lunch, chosen for location to accomodate one of our team. It is fine, Lure's is a serviceable place to get a meal. The decor is nice though a bit too obvious, the staff is crisp and works well together. Our server (tall Russell Wilson) was great, charming, efficient. My wife and I got Rachel/Rueben's, fries and an ice tea, with tip $50.00. Fries were hot, crisp, and generic. The sandwiches were 'meh'. The saurkraut was there, not properly drained and had no flavor. Result, toasty bread on top, soggy bread on bottom. In todays environment good service and marginal food is what you get for $20 plate. Okay that's the end of the basic review. I am going to use this white space to discuss space, safe space, white space, black space, latin space. This is not CRT, nor racism or anything of the sort. I am simply sharing some thoughts. My lived experience and how restuarants can inform or enrich the lives of all members of our shared communities. Discussions of Diversity and Inclusion are all the rage in business/professional life these days. Intelligent people bear the discomfort of those discussions/situations and improve themselves where/when needed. I often remind people in those discussions about this idea; are you "welcome" or "tolerated". Those two situations feel very different for each individual involved in a social/business/dining occasion. I have been blessed to live a life code switching easily from literally audience with Kings and Generals to the corner lottery store with homeless drunks. I can find solace in the most uncomfortable places. I have been welcomed in each, but felt tolerated at best during this visit. Lures reminds me of a golf country club or the nice dining facility at a senior living community. There is a sterile sameness in the patrons, the menu, the atmosphere that speaks of "protection of our spaces". Every group does this in a myriad of ways. Perhaps Lure's does it (maybe subconciously or as a side product of profit seeking) with menu pricing. Perhaps they are simply (and rationally) taking advantage of location (a well-heeled chunk of a wealthy county that is river adjacent- with Martha's Vineyard) pretensions. Whatever the reason, and Lures need not change a thing, they are not a place for all of us, not yet, and maybe never need to be. We had the money to bridge a gap, that the gap still exists, does not hold up to our "More Perfect Union" ideals. read more

Lures Bar And Grille - Rueben with fries...$17.00? - Seafood Near Me - Crownsville, Maryland

Delicious food. Great service. We ate outside when the weather was delightful. Perfect lunch and afternoon.

This place was way beyond expectations. It looks small from the outside but it offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The inside is nautical decorated (no surprise by the name). We had Damien as a server and he was exceptional! Everything he recommended was delicious. The crab cake by far was the best I've had in a good while. There is absolutely no filler. I have no idea what is even holding it together, just sweet lump meat. I sent many thanks to the chef for whatever magic he was working in that kitchen I would definitely come back again for the service and the food. read more

I go out once a week for steak (and a glass of red wine). Not dinner, a good steak. I thought I'd try someplace new, rather than y 15-year regular place. Lures was cute. Great outdoor seating, ample parking and lots of energy. I sat at the left bar. My cream of crab was bland. It couldn't hold its own without Old Bay. But I prefer the flavor of food with a little seasoning vs eating a seasoning with food under it. My $49, 12oz rib eye came out gray, rather than mid rare. I couldn't tell if it had been seasoned, either. They instantly took it back to remake. I thought I'd work on my bok choy why the steak was remade. Limp and soggy, it tasted like it was burned to the bottom of a pan. Didn't look that way, but the taste was awful. My ribeye came out again, with the thinner end still gray, but the thicker center part prepared properly. Frankly, a Steak-um would have had more flavor. Even the peppercorn sauce was hardly noticeable. The mashed potatoes were delicious. Whatever wine the ladies gave me was also delicious. I probably won't do this again, since it was a little out of my way home. I'll stick with the place that does my 16 to 20oz ribeye perfectly every time. read more

Lures is a cute little indoor-outdoor café with seafood/American bistro food and an amazing brunch menu. GPS is telling me Crownsville, well where is that? Not too far from Crofton. I had a lovely time it's definitely a "Gurl we need to catch up" spot and a cute "Okay I'm feeling him" spot, note its beachy looking and intimate and it could very well become "It's our spot". Definitely a place for the town locals and they were very nice and did not give me, the "What are you doing here?" look. Ya'll know that look (wink). I highly recommend sitting on the back patio on a nice day. I had the most popular dish offered during brunch and dinner, The Crispy Shrimp Stir Fry Tacos only $18 Three on soft corn tortillas, breaded shrimp, with stir fried carrots, onions, zucchini, peppers, radicchio sliced very fine. But then the sweet red sauce was amazing, wasn't quite sure what to do with the side of white rice? I feel like they should offer black beans with this. Buffalo cauliflower is delish, you can do it as a meal or an appetizer. It comes with carrots, cucumbers, and ranch dressing and it's not spicy if this is a concern. Customer service was great, and they kept my Sauvignon Blancs coming. I'm coming back, now its officially "My spot" and I will continue to invite a girlfriend, the new dude, my sis, myself.... yeah, lol. read more

So you guys nailed it again. I can remember a time that you have disappointed with you meals, service, or cleanliness. Today had Jalapeno Corn Crab Chowder and the rockfish nuggets.

A great atmosphere and spacious restaurant. The menu is always exciting. Recently went for brunch and tried the smores donuts (YUM!), Scrapple Benedict and fried breakfast burrito.

This place was highly reccommended by friends for the Rockfish bites. They were delicious. However the rest of the meal was a disappointment. The strawberry mojito mocktail at $9 consisted of a strawberry ice and club soda. No lime, no simple syrup, not muddled. The tiny cup of crab soup tasted ok but needed more old Bay and maybe some crab meat and please leave out the floating gold fish cracker. Not cute. The big disappointment was the Maryland Fried Rice. Canned crab. Not pasturized, imported crabmeat which I know some restaurants are using this was tasteless white stuff. read more

Came for lunch with a friend. Food and drink: drink was the raspberry crush with vodka. It was very good I had the Maryland crab soup and it was delicious. Also the fish and chips were pretty spot on. Portion size was also pretty good. For dessert I had a Smith cake which was very dry and not so good. We sat in the bar area on the service was fine. Ambiance is okay and bathroom is clean Parking is in a free lot. Overall if I was in the area it would definitely come back read more

Huge disappointment! We have been loyal customers for YEARS! Tonight we were treated very poorly by the hostess staff. One in particular screamed at us for sitting at a table in the bar after we were told by another hostess it was ok. The restaurant was very crowded with many groups waiting, but no excuse for the treatment we received. We left and and not sure we will ever return. read more

So we came here for dinner after trying to get to other restaurants. This was our third try. When we walked in, the place looked cute. We sat down and ordered the Chesapeake chachos, and a cream of crap soup for an Appetizer. The chachos were ok, made with a lot of sour cream and not so much crab but I expected that. Soup came out cold not too much crab meat. Then we ordered our entrees of crab cake which was 26 dollars for 1. It came with mash potatoes and broccoli. My wife got the triple hamburger which you make yourself. My friends for the chirizo taco bowl and mahi tacos. The crab cake wasn't bad. Moist and tasty but for 26 dollars. The broccoli was broccoli and the mast potatoes which I've asked the nice waiter numerous times what was in it to which he said butter and some other stuff. The mash potatoes were horrible. I had everyone at my table taste them. We thought maybe they used like seafood stock or something. Nope. They were gross. If we didn't pack them up or eat them you know it was terrible. My wife's hamburger she liked but definitely not The best burger ever. I hate when people say that and it's not remotely the best. The chorizo taco salad over rice was terrible my friend said. And my friends mahi tacos were ok he said. Our bill was very high for not much in return. Then the food didn't settle well in my stomach. We all agreed we wouldn't come back. On a positive note and the reason it wasn't a 2 was the waiter was nice. We also had smith island cake which was tiny but ok. 8 dollars? Thanks ! read more
