I frequent this place a good bit being local. They serve up good food and reasonable prices. Wait times can get pretty long around peak times on the weekend. read more

Love this place! The seafood club wrap is my go-to. Also, their wings are really good. A lot of outdoor seating is available now to ensure safety during covid. read more

Came into Maryland Mallet today with my brother and cousin for a late lunch. As always, the food was great (we got the Crab Melt, Pulled Pork, and 12 dozen crabs). Our server (Luther or Lester? I have bad memory) was extremely nice and very attentive. He was sweet enough to take time out of his day to show my cousin, a not regular crab eater, the most efficient way to open crabs. As always, very happy with our visit to the Maryland Mallet. read more

A fun, casual restaurant, trivia nights on Wednesday's are particularly fun. Decent beer selection with several local crafts available. Food at its worst has been average but at its very best has been great. Wait staff is good and attentive my only negative would be the hosts, often times I walk into this restaurant and don't feel as though I've been acknowledged. The dining area is large and spacious and there is a quaint bar in the basement that gives off a comfortable vibe. This place gives me a small town vibe where you know the staff which is always desirable. Would recommend. read more

This is one of the only seafood restaurants in the area, so it attracts a good business. The place is clean, has ample parking, and is located right off the main road. However, the restaurant claims to have a 1/2 price burger night, but charges full price for anything put on the burger. Literally, the only thing half price is the burger patty itself. So if I ordered a 1/2 price burger ($5) with cheese ($1), bacon ($2), and fries ($2), I would still end up paying $10. So I would find the same burger someplace else for $20?? Doubtful. A-OK is a fair assessment. read more

Went for steamed crabs thinking a name like Maryland Mallet would have good crabs. While the wait staff was very friendly & accommodating the crabs were a disappointment. At $94/dozen for large they were a light medium at best. Not one crab had both claws & being a crab eater they were not fresh, hot or full. Next time will go for "food" & give that a try. Also, they need to do something about all the flies. We ate in & they were landing on everything. read more

Service was slow and they were busy. Ribs were overcooked but fried brussel sprouts were delish! Crab cake was just okay - not very well seasoned IMO. Nice atmosphere. Wait wasn't as long as they had projected which was great! read more

Great crabs. Worth the price. Loved the seafood club sandwich (combo of crab cake and shrimp salad). So big, that I made it into 2 meals. And the crab chips are wonderful. Waitress was very attentive. read more

Just OK. Cream of crab won't be ordered again. Poor. Sandwiches were just Ok too. Definitely not Gary & Dells

Pricey menu. Seafood is good but the barbecue is severely lacking. Atmosphere is okay and the service is good. Unless you're looking for all you can eat crabs, go somewhere else read more

The food is pretty good, The wait is always long, the restaurant is not always clean and the service is horrible! Carry out might be the best way to experience this restaurant. It is a shame because it is decorated very nicely it just needs a good cleaning and staff that actually want to wait on people. read more

Third time at the Mallet and no regrets! Food was delicious and the service by Lester was outstanding!

First at the Maryland Mallet. We were a party of six on a Friday night. We only waited a few minutes for a table. Four in our party ordered the crabcake, which was very large, flavorful and filled with lump crabmeat. Another in our party had the redneck burrito with pulled pork, baked beans and coleslaw inside. He said it was delicious. I opted for the soft-shell crab special. I was not disappointed with the two huge, pan-fried soft-shell crab served on toasted bread. They were so good. read more

We went in for take out last week. The wait was long for a take out order but we were in no hurry so enjoyed a few drinks at the bar. Seems they have a little bit of kinks to get out but we will try it again. Foods was good. Wings were really good but will not pay 14$ for them again. Not worth that much. Half rack chicken was really good. Dill salmon was flavorful and the wrap was also good. Homemade chips were over cooked. Over all the staff was friendly and the renovations look great. Hope they continue to grow and get better. read more

A hidden gem! The cream of crab soup was rich and flavorful; the crab cakes were excellent. And, they serve a salted caramel martini! We've driven by here a number of times, will be stopping more often. Sonja was a thoughtful and attentive server. read more

This was my first time here and I loved it. Our waitress Karen was very nice and accommodating. We ordered lunch but the portions were huge and enough for two meals. The half and half soup was amazing, it didn't get watered down at all and there were lumps of crab meat throughout. While waiting for our orders we had the complimentary port cheese and crackers. The cheese was very tasty. I had the chicken Chesapeake and it was delicious. The crab imperial was tasty with lump crab meat and the chicken was tender. My husband had the pork chop, fried with masked potatoes and crispy Brussel sprouts. The pork chop was perfectly cooked, tender and moist. The Brussels were good but weren't hot. My daughter had the crab melt sandwich which comes with bacon and tomato, she added a fried egg and fried onions, and comes on grilled Texas toast. The sandwich was delicious and huge, she took half home. Next time I'll try the crab dip, it smelled really good. They have crabs year round but during the season they have all you can eat crabs as well. I should've taken a picture of my food but it was too good. read more

At in the pub tonight and the service was friendly and fast. We ordered a variety of things including ribs which had a perfect crust and fall off the bone goodness! The chicken sandwich and house made chips were delicious and the mussels were very tasty! read more

I love this place! It's relatively new, but the food and service is pretty good. The atmosphere is great, and they do so many events to get back to the community. Definitely come check it out! Their sandwiches are huge! read more

My wife and I ordered the bacon wrapped scallops - wow! Would definitely order the again. She also ordered the flounder w/i stuffing with cole slaw and brussels sprouts. The fish was perfect; however, the cole slaw was a bit too soupy for her liking and the brussels were way overdone. I ordered the baby back ribs, fries, and baked beans. The fries and beans were excellent; however, the ribs were some what dry, although the sauce was great. The service as excellent! Would we go back? Sure. read more

Well after months of waiting we made it in and what a disappointment. Our server was doing the best he could with the fact it took an hour for our food to arrive and it wasn't even crowded. Our food was fair. The crabs overpriced. And this has taught us to ask prices from now on. They were out of medium crabs so I ordered 1/2 dozen large. Thinking that I'd be compensated since mediums ran out. Um no. Needless to say we were shocked we were charged an outrageous amount. The interior remodeling looks nice. Will we return? No read more

The worst crab soup I've ever had--no crab, a load of cabbage and uncooked Old Bay dumped in--inedible. Then the 2 crabs, X-large and beautiful ruined by a weird, sour tangy taste. Then a snarky server with an attitude. The place had a nice atmosphere, but they need to get a real chef--for $68 for lunch for 2 people they need to do a lot better or they'll be out of business soon. read more

The food is ok. The crabs were good. Our waitress included herself in our conversation at her leisure. The noise level is quite high. It feels like a school cafeteria. Their cocktails are not that good either. read more

My husband, son, and myself had the steamed crabs for dinner, and it was AWESOME! We got 2 doz. large crabs, and the guys got steamed corn. There was a small mixup in the kitchen about the corn, so it was delayed, however the manager came over himself and apologized, and took the corn off our bills. My son & husband said the corn was delicious. They put down the brown butcher paper, provided mallets, sturdy plastic knives, a roll of paper towels, and an empty 5 gal bucket to put the picked crab debris in as you went along. Crabs arrived steaming hot, beer was cold and the service was excellent! Maryland Mallet is 1000 times better than Gary & Dell's ever was! read more

The crab cakes special is phenomenal. Our waiter, Adam was amazing! He was very accommodating, friendly, and funny. The chocolate cake is the dessert to get, especially if Lester makes it because there's a special surprise. read more

Ate at the pub since the wait was so long for dining room. Service was excellent- thank you Sonja for walking us through the menu! The food was outstanding. read more

Maryland Mallet - It was so delicious, there was nothing left besides the orchid garnish! - Seafood Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

We have been to Maryland Mallet several times. We have never been disappointed. The smoked wings are amazing. The service has always been great. Last Monday our server's name was Shelbi, and she couldn't have been sweeter or more attentive. It is our go-to celebration place. There is ample flexible seating for large groups. read more

I have frequented this establishment several times but today was not a good visit. The place was very busy. We waited longer than we needed to because the server was overworked. Getting refills and the correct order was off. The fries were burned and the food was not up to par. We sat in a dining room with almost every table not cleaned. I was so sad to see one of my favorite places with such an awful visit. read more

Bumping up by a star. They're coming into their own with food and service. Took a little longer than I expected to get up to speed after opening but I've been quite pleased my last two visits. I rarely order steamed crabs while out but I really enjoyed the crabs here. Keep up the good work folks! read more

Great company, great bartenders. Great deals, great food. Local here and I miss going there due to virus.

Last night we arrived a little before 8pm with four adults and two kids. The parking lot was crowded so we expected to wait for a table. We were about the fifth group waiting, but there were a fair number of people leaving in groups, so we figured the wait shouldn't be all that long. Forty-five minutes later, when we were shown to our table we noted that there were at least a dozen empty tables in the dining room and wondered why we hadn't been seated sooner. Our waitress started off by reciting a long list of items they were out of for the evening - including the crab cakes we had planned to order. We chose other menu items, waited a while for her to return, ordered our food, and waited some more. Our food eventually came, but we could not begin eating because we didn't have any silverware. We asked, she brought two sets for six people. Apparently me calling out across the room for some additional silverware caught the attention of the manager. We spoke about waiting so long, the number of empty tables, not being told while we were waiting that the restaurant was out of half a dozen major menu items, and the fact that we would like to eat now that we had our food, but were still waiting for forks. The manager said that they had several kitchen staff walk out the day before and that they were leaving tables empty to allow the kitchen to keep up with orders, they were expecting a seafood order on Sunday, and they don't generally provide silverware for "handhelds." You can judge for yourself how you feel about these reasons. As we were leaving another couple noted to us that they have had the same waitress on previous occasions and will not sit at her tables if they can possibly avoid it. I want to like this place, it is close to home and the food is generally very good, but until service improves, it is off my list of places to take out of town guests. read more

Great place! We sat out back on a beautiful fall day outside. Pulled pork, pit beef and homemade fries were delicious!!! The pub has a good selection of beers. We will be back! read more

My first experience in this restaurant was pretty favorable. The staff is kind and courteous and the restaurant itself has beautiful interior that is very spacious. We had a dinner party of 10 and we were seated quickly at a table with more than enough space. The waiter was very helpful in recommending appetizers--his wing choice was spot on. (Would highly recommend the wings) As far as entrees go, you can't go wrong with the Monday night crab cake special. The crab cakes are delicious and so are all the sides you can choose from. If you're not a fan of the seafood variety, fear not, there are other delicious meals including quesadillas and burgers. My entree did not come out as ordered, however the staff was happy to quickly fix my order in no time. As far as desserts go, get the chocolate cake. It's amazing. Shout out to Lester for making our first visit so enjoyable! 10/10 would recommend and will be returning again. read more

My husband and I enjoy going to Mallet on Friday nights because of the friendly atmosphere. We keep coming back because of staff members Adam, Mallory and Bryan. It's a bummer when we get there and downstairs dining is full. They have good happy hour specials, especially on Friday night read more

Did carry out and order was ready on time and correct. Food was good. Will definitely order again.

I was disappointed with the crab cake I ordered. Lots of meat but no spice. I ordered Saltines to eat with the cake and they brought me little packs that looked like they were driven over in the parking lot. My wife also said her food had little taste if any. In addition, we had to look around for a seat that was not dirty with food an liquid. Might go back but it will be awhile. read more

Rating 3.5 only bc I think it needed more flavor! I went here on Friday for the first time with my family, we did call ahead and were told that we had to wait longer because people had walked in after I called which was a little werid. No matter are 35 mintute wait was more like 15. It is a nice atmosphere definetly on the louder side. There prices were awesome and portions were huge! I only wish the crabdip had more old bay/ crab in it. My crabcake sandwich was huge again wish there was more oldbay in it. It was served with homemade chips which were awesome! Will have to come back again and try their actual crabs! read more

Ordered burgers but didn't want chips or frys. Was told we could select from one of the stated menu sides. But when the bill came I was charged extra for the side I was led to believe was a no charge substitute. And I didn't even get the chips I passed up to take home. If it's extra, please tell me before hand. Don't surprise me with a charge for a side you said was available but an at an unspecified extra cost. read more

My wife and I ate here tonight and as someone who prides themselves as an aficionado on ribs, all I can say is wow! The ribs were smoked, done perfectly, fell off the bone, were not slimy and were just perfect! My wife's seafood was also perfect according to her. We will definitely be back again, this place was packed and I can understand why. Way to go guys, you are doing it right!!! read more

Had dinner with Family the other evening, and to be honest due to the reviews I was skeptical. However, I was not disappointed. Upon arrival at 5 pm on a Friday evening, we were seated right away. Once we ordered our food, the wait was average so no complaints there. I had the Cajun Seafood Tortellini, my fiance and grandfather enjoyed the Ribs & Cake and my grandmother ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake. The food was amazing, our server was super friendly, and the manager stopped by to ensure we were satisfied. I will be returning, sooner than later. If I could give 10 stars, I would! read more

Had lunch today with 10 other people. Not a large party for Sunday afternoon. Took over 1 1/2 hour to get our food after it was ordered. One person in the group got her sides and not main dish. This is the second time I was with a large group and waited a long time for our food. Last time it took over 2 hours. Not sure about going back. Terry read more
