    We went for lunch recently. The place is clean and the food was fresh, served hot and delicious. I also appreciated the manager asking if everything was okay. The price is also competitive and comparable with someone of the other restaurants around. Public parking is behind the restaurant. However, it's not free and about $2-3 for 1-2 hours and then $0.99 tax, about $3.99 for 1+ hour meal. The only thing I can say would be the waiter to be a little more attentive like to fill up the water or check on us considering it wasn't that busy but still paid 18% tip. Sometimes you wonder am I just paying because I am supposed to pay and it's an obligation to not look cheap or I am paying with my free will that I am happy with their service. Again, that's a separate topic to discuss over some cocktails and drinks :-D

    Miss Shirley's never disappoint. The food is always consistent and good. They have great portion sizes and the prices are reasonable. I have always had great customer service. It's a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

    Met up with a friend for brunch at Miss Shirley's because she was craving sweet but I was craving savory! This menu did not disappoint. There are traditional brunch items and also some over the top items Miss Shirley's is known for. Both were delicious! I loved their seasonal items too for the colder months. I ordered a Bloody Mary which was delicious! (Forgot to take a picture!) and my friend ordered a seasonal drink. The service was amazing! Seating is comfortable! And parking was easy. Lots of parking garages in the area! Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

    Crab cake sandwich with grits

    Stopped here as it was featured on DDD which means Guy Fieri ate here. I had a crab cake sandwich which was pricy but so worth it. Service was amazing and I even watched the server try and help a not very English speaking customer who was not satisfied with her order.

    Miss Shirley's was a staple for brunch I saw so we made sure to try to stop in on our way out of town (with a 4-hour drive ahead of us I wanted to carb load). We easily found seating at around 9:45 on a Saturday and did not have to wait. There was a wait by 11am when we left. Our server was very friendly and attentive so we had no issues there. My husband chose a side of chicken sausage and the peach and cheese fresh warm biscuits with jam so he could make his own breakfast sandwiches. I went with a short stack (2) of fluffy specialists pancakes and chose the blueberry white chocolate chip ones. SO good! It said on the menu they were recommended as some of the best in the country from Food network and I can see why. Perfectly fluffy and filling. They had a great breakfast menu - not a lot of specialty coffee drinks though - and plenty of eggs and omelette choices as well as sandwiches and wraps. They have a rewards program you can join if you plan to come often. Parking was street or nearby public lots and it was a easy walk from one of the downtown hotels (10 minutes or so). They had about 5-6 patio tables outside for people watching in nice weather.

    So fun to walk into Miss Shirley's Cafe with all the memorabilia on the walls. We went for breakfast on a week day morning. The server was very friendly and patiently explained the menu. The Maryland Omelette contained jumbo lump crab meat, cheddar cheese, and tomato with Old Bay seasoning. I was nervous ordering seafood in an omelette but it turned out to be a great decision. So yummy! It also came with hash browns and a pimento cheese biscuit, both were good. We also tried the strawberry buttermilk pancakes. They came out undercooked in the center but our server replaced with a new plate. The side of fruit was fresh and inviting. We also ordered a side of scrambled eggs. We asked for them to be well done and were happy to see that they were. Overall, a good experience and fun to try a new restaurant!

    You can never go wrong with Miss Shirley's! I came here for Easter brunch with the family, and it was our first time coming to the Annapolis location. We ordered some of our brunch favorites, such as the chicken and waffles, hot chicken deviled eggs (which are to die for!!), and an omelette. It was our first time getting the banana bread French toast, which could possibly be a seasonal menu item, and it was truly satisfying and tasty. I can't say I will order it again, only because I prefer their regular French toast. Surprisingly, it wasn't as busy as we thought since it was Easter Sunday. Our food came out pretty quickly and our waiter was very attentive. The inner harbor location is always so busy, so I'll probably come to this location more often.

    Great food, people, service. A very nice place for Brunch. Nice presentation, great attitude of staff.

    I always enjoy brunch at Miss Shirley's Cafe. Service and food is excellent. My go to fav is Get Your Grits On with grilled shrimp. This entree is served with fried green tomatoes and overall has lots of delicious flavor. There is street parking and garage parking. IMO it was somewhat challenging to figure out how to pay for the garage parking. Somehow I missed the information and got a ticket. So been on the lookout for the parking payment information.

    Shrimp and grits, served all fancy like.
    Bobby H.

    Miss Shirley has that magic. The shrimp and grits, on top of fried green tomatoes, was amazing. Cured my common cold and made me two inches taller, it was that good. Not a bad bite was had. It's not inexpensive, but it IS top tier food that comes out surprisingly fast. It's 100% worth a little splurge at lunch.

    So good! Great service, food is always amazing (the Chicken n' Cheddar Green Onion Waffles are drool-worthy) and the ambiance is casual. Must try!

    I thought the food was a solid 4 but the hubs said his was a 5. Cute place on a beautiful day and we were having a late breakfast. Wanted to sit outside but the host said the patio had closed for seating. There were 2-3 tables sat after he told us that. Oh well I guess they've changed their minds. I had the fried green tomato breakfast sandwich and hubby had the chicken and waffles. Both hit the spot. Service was great we'll be back.

    Do they take reservations?

    No they do not take reservations, however the wait was only 20 minutes on a Saturday morning at 10am. It's a large place and people seem to eat and run.

    Does Miss Shirley's allow dogs in their outdoor seating?

    Yes they do

    At Preserve, consistency is not the point, evolution is. Each visit feels slightly different,…read moreshaped by a menu that shifts with the seasons and refuses to coast on familiarity. That restlessness works in its favor. The space is compact, almost disarming at first. Then it settles around you. There is a quiet intimacy to the room, the kind that feels less designed and more lived in. It leans closer to a welcoming home than a polished dining room, without losing its sense of purpose. The food carries that same balance. Thoughtful, seasonal, and just unpredictable enough to keep you paying attention. Cocktails follow suit, measured and deliberate, never an afterthought. For Annapolis, where good options are not exactly rare, this place still manages to separate itself. It belongs firmly in the top tier of the city's dining scene, and it earns that position every time it changes the menu and starts over again.

Bright and open inside with friendly service. We ordered a handful of mimosas and got a couple of small bites to share. Sourdough Foccaccia - this was pretty good, warm and toasted. Pork Bites - I loved the flavor but thought this was pork belly and not ground pork. Overall, flavor was good but the texture wasn't great. Crispy Kale - this is very popular here and we really enjoyed it. The cumin yogurt really brought it together. Pickled Squid - Not what we expected but I actually really liked this dish. We did also order the Coconut Panna Cotta for dessert. The raspberry was pretty prominent here and wasn't as custard like as expected, just a little too soft but the flavor otherwise wasn't bad. Overall, everything was pretty good and I would visit again to try other items on their menu.

    Went to Iron Rooster recently and overall had a really good experience. We started with the BBQ…read moreRooster Bites and they were honestly delicious. They are definitely lighter on the sauce, so if that's your preference these are perfect. Personally, I like my wings a little saucier, so I would probably ask for extra sauce next time. The chicken itself was fried perfectly and the portion size was pretty solid. For my main, I got the buffalo chicken wrap with no buffalo sauce and it was amazing. The lettuce, guac, and pico all tasted fresh and paired really nicely with the breaded chicken in the wrap. My only complaint with it is they go pretty light on the guac and pico, so I wish there was a bit more of both. The pricing overall was fair too and didn't feel over the top for the quality and portions. The fries that came with the wrap deserve their own mention because they were phenomenal. Crispy golden brown on the outside with a soft, fluffy inside. Honestly, I'd come back just for the fries alone. I requested outdoor seating when making the reservation and they have a really nice outdoor section with a great atmosphere and view. They did a good job with the space they had, but the tables are pretty close together, so you can hear basically every conversation around you. The chairs were also a bit smaller and not the most comfortable for longer seating. Service was great all around. Our server was very polite and even helped my very undecided sister choose her meal. Everyone was friendly and it definitely feels like a nice place to bring friends or family. My only real complaint, and honestly this applies to a lot of places nearby, is the parking. It was pretty rough. Other than that, definitely a place I'd come back to.

    I had a mixed experience overall…read more I ordered the chicken and waffles. The fried chicken had good seasoning and flavor, which I did enjoy. However, the chicken was breast meat and sliced thin, which made it come across as dry. I did tell the server I liked it and didn't go into much detail since she seemed very busy and I didn't want to add stress in the moment. Still, it's not something I would personally order again. The waffle situation was more frustrating. I initially received cornmeal waffles, but I had told my server ahead of time that I strongly avoid cornmeal. She said she would substitute them, so I was surprised when the plate came out with the original cornmeal waffles. I didn't realize at first and ended up taking a bite before noticing. I let the server know and she had the kitchen remake it. The replacement Belgian waffles were overcooked and dense, so they didn't really improve the experience. The butter though was genuinely delicious, just very rich and more of a holiday-style flavor than something I'd personally crave in warmer weather. I also had a basic cup of coffee made with Rise Up Coffee Roasters, which was $4.50. That felt overpriced for what it was. I could have walked right across the street and had a specialty coffee from the source for very little extra cost, which honestly would have been the better choice. Overall, the experience had some clear issues, especially with the waffle mix-up and consistency, but it wasn't completely disappointing. I just don't think I would personally order the same meal again.

    ABOUT THE AMBIANCE…read more Love the consistent, lively vibe at this Eastport restaurant/bar - seven days a week, it is sure to be clamoring with locals who pull-up by kayak and dingy (a 100-yd walk for the neighborhood dock) or walk in from homes nearby. Davis' is both people and dog friendly, allowing both species to chat it up, socialize and refuel. The outside sports a dozen a so picnic-style tables and a few high tops that bleed into the street. Shade is omnipresent once seated and servers kindly offer up water for your four-legged friends. There's a cozy park with seating just across the street from the hostess stand for those eagerly awaiting a table, right by the community dock. The inside of Davis' Pub is distinctly "bar" - replete with TVs and high tops - though there's a surprisingly large area for table service beyond the often-crowded bar. Don't expect anything slick or shiny here -- a fresh coat of paint may be tough to find. This is an authentic, worn Eastport treasure -- some use it as their comfortable watering hole, others for a cozy meal and a large swath to gather with friends.
