Talk about the most delicious lamb chops that I have ever tasted. This is the place, 16 oz. of pure joy; these chops were large and succulent. Also, the Brussels sprouts were notable for their unique taste. Our server EMILY was very client-focused and a true treasure for Mogan's. Thus, for the reasons above, they earned a 5-star review. read more

Again the food served and service was outstanding, but......... Things continue to change, first the shrimp and grits or polenta dishes went and now the LOBSTER!!! What's next? The oysters? And still no dark beer. Will have to consider other restaurants. read more

We were exploring Salisbury and decided to stop in at this restaurant in a hotel. It was terribly hot outside (we're having a heat wave right now), but it was amazingly comfortable in this very large restaurant. We were warmly greeted by the hostess, and taken to a booth where we were immediately welcomed by Lois, the bartender. She shared her recommendations for lunch, and my husband took her advice and ordered the fish tacos, which was delicious and a large portion. I ordered a Caesar salad with a crabcake. While My husband's dish was a good value, I thought the pricing on my Caesar salad and what appeared to me to be a small crabcake was too high. Nevertheless, it was delicious. The homemade lemonade was delicious, Lois was extremely attentive, stopping by regularly to make sure we had everything we wanted. Great service. Parking is easy at the standalone parking garage next-door to the hotel. I would definitely go back if I were in the vicinity. read more

Searching for crabcakes in Salisbury, this date night, downtown spot popped for variety of seafood on the menu. Extensive drink menu -- cocktails, draft beer and wine. The oyster menage -- three preparations of grilled oysters -- to start. Steamy, savory with black garlic and big, juicy oysters. We also had the mussels. Unsure about Fennel and saffron cream but possibly the best mussels I have ever had. Of three seafood entrees, the crab cakes was light on filler and accompanied by a fresh romesco but came in third. Our server Marcus was spot on with suggestions, refills and gave us just enough time. We topped it with sticky toffee and Baileys & coffee. A definite recommend. read more

From the lovely hostesses Arianna and Daphne (i believe that's her name) that greeted me with a smile at the hostess stand. They were so patient explaining everything to me since i couldn't decide what i wanted! To the manager Lois who did an OUTSTANDING job at making a regular person like me feel like a VIP! What an amazing job ALL of this staff did and the FOOD was delicious! My husband and I will return for this VIP experience and delicious seafood! read more

Went for my birthday. Oysters were fantastic, the smallest I had ever seen for 3.50 an oyster; HOWEVER, the food was horrible. The calamari portion is ridiculous for the price and was so over cooked that it was hard to eat, we left most of it and no we did not take it home. Then the cod sandwich had little cod on it and was pre breaded, deep fried too long and again over cooked. It used to be so good and our favorite spot. That was officially my very last visit to Mogans. read more

Amazing service and food was spectacular!! The oyster plate was delicious! The burgers were perfectly cooked, the tators were fabulous... delicious inks delicious! Thank you so much!! read more

Very comfortable place with comfortable seating. Appetizer biscuits were amazing. Wedge salad was fantastic with a green goddess dressing that was tasty. Hanger steak and shoestring fries was perfect. Steak was delicious it actually had some seasoning which was great. Lobster roll was good. Service was very good. Food came out fast. read more

Just Fantastic. I had the pork chops. Cooked to perfection, the meat was clearly a cut above normal fare. Service was impeccable, as delivered by Andrew. Local beers with depth and variety. Five stars. PS I eat out on an expense account just about every day, but these prices won't break the bank. read more

Mogan's Oyster House was a great find by my wife as we were heading home from Virginia via the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel through the DelMarVa Peninsula instead of fighting traffic on I-95. The downtown area of Salisbury and the restaurant were quiet on a Tuesday afternoon when we stopped for lunch. I'm always up for some good seafood and Mogan's is perfect. The service is great and the menu has way more choices than I expected. They have a very substantial beer and wine selection, but we had to get back on the road, so I just had to settle for a sweet iced tea. Our server informed us that Tuesdays is BOGO Lobster Roll Day and who can refuse that? The Lobster Roll is served with fries, normally for $28, but then we get 2 for 1 just because we picked a nice day! The fresh lobster meat was tenderly poached, the roll was nicely buttered and the fries were hot and crispy. We were pretty hungry from being on the road, so we ordered the daily lunch special instead of an appetizer to share, which was a Fish Sandwich, a cup of Veggie Chili and a cookie. The tasty fish was crispy fried and topped with tartar sauce on a bun. The chili was pretty good with plenty of beans and corn in a tomato base. My regret is that we won't have more chances to try all the good things on the menu because this is so out of the way for us. I really want to have some oysters, both raw and cooked. But who knows in the future if we ever come back this way again. Maybe a trip to Ocean City? read more

This place has the most inattentive, unfriendly bartenders ever! Second time we sat at the bar and decided to give them 10 more minutes to get water and order a drink. Finally they came. Our young bartender was so unfriendly, felt like I was inconveniencing him by ordering. The other older fellow was better! Do they specifically advertise for unfriendly bartenders??? read more

Central downtown location in Salisbury, it offered fine seafood and a classic setting. Prices were comparable to similar restaurants. Service was courteous. I would come back again. We ordered: 4*Buffalo Fried Oysters: the oysters were served with some kind of Mexican spicy sauce. I loved it. 3.5*Grilled Oysters: they were kind of bland. 4.5*Lobster Roll: plenty of lobster meat. I switched french fries to Cesar salad: salad was also fine. Fresh and clean, better than most other restaurants. read more

Terrible experience, poor food. My wife made reservations for my birthday at 5pm, so we were excited to visit based on the website and reviews. We had high hopes! We couldn't have been more disappointed. We were greeted by a friendly front-end staff and given a high-chair for our 18-month-old son. Everyone seemed pleasant and courteous, until our waitress showed up. It was obvious she had more important things to do, like utilize her phone and converse with her friends at the host stand. She abruptly cut us off multiple times to leave us to have "more time" before we could order or ask a question, and we had to keep trying to flag her down just to be able to order. She was either on her phone at the host stand, interacting with her friends there, or on her phone by the bar. Note- there were 7 patrons in the dining area including our family, and we were her only table. With that said, and how difficult it was to get her to come back to us, we just ordered everything at once when she finally got tired of talking to her friends and texting. We ordered the $35-$45 special, each for my wife and I, and some shrimp for my son, who had been quietly watching a movie. We thought that ordering from the "special menu" would be faster and easier on her and on us, since we didn't want to spend all night there. Crab dip and calamari, medium-cooked filet and rockfish, and chocolate tort cake and crème brûlée, with some Old Fashioned's and shrimp/fries for our son. We had high hopes, despite the difficulty in just being able to order. Crush n' Run would have tasted better and been easier to eat than the hard-fried and nasty calamari- completely inedible. And I've had all kinds of calamari, but never had a version that was too bad to eat. The crab dip had barely any crab, just lots flour (bread chunks) and filler. The steak came out well-done when I ordered medium, but it was still tasty, so that's a plus! And the rockfish wasn't overcooked and had a good flavor- good job there! But when I asked the server to take the calamari away (respectfully of course) and explained it was terrible, she asked if I wanted it remade, and I said "no thank you" then she disappeared again before we could ask for boxes. No, "sorry about that" or "that's unfortunate", just "ok" and poof-gone. Besides, we had already finished our meals when she came back, so there wasn't much point to have it remade anyway. We flagged her down again, just asked for the check and to have the desserts boxed up so we could get out of there- we didn't have another 10-15 mins for her to decide to come back or not. My hypothesis- we came in with our son and ordered off the "special menu" with the 3- course meals for $35-$45, and we were dismissed by our waitress and back-of-the-house team that could care less about our experience, let alone our food. Restaurant was empty, waitress had one table (ours), and just made it exceptionally difficult to get a decent meal and have a decent time. She still got a good tip, since it's clearly our last visit there. Take my review with a grain of salt, and instead test my hypothesis to prove it wrong- Good luck! read more

Superior food and service, with thoughtful menu and dish creation. Ordered a bunch of small plates. Mussels were good, though salty. Fontina biscuits were yummy. I enjoyed the smoked fish dip, though it was also a bit on the salty side. Caesar salad was good. Nice ambiance and comfortable booth seating. Would definitely go back. read more

The service and food were excellent. Thanks to our server Asia. Kudos to chef for superb and fresh cuisine.

I'm sorry to give a low rating. I've been there twice and this place is tired inside. The food was good nothing special. The service was good. Now the not so good. The restaurant is tired and needs a facelift. The men's room door looks like it belongs in a college bar, all beat up and in need of paint. We sat in a booth, I'm 6'4" and sank down in the bench so far that the table was up to my chest. $11 beers and $3.75 per oyster, I would expect a nicer place. read more

Service was great and so was the food. I really liked both the fried cheese curds and the seafood Newburg. read more

We had a great meal at Mogan's Oyster House. The vibe is relaxed and chill. Our server Scott was very attentive. It's in a great location with convenient garage parking right next to the restaurant.

This was our first time at Mogan's Oyster House and most certainly will not be our last!! Everything about our experience was 5 star! The staff was fantastic, the food was to die for (the brussels and the gnocchi in particular were...chef's kiss perfection). I'm so impressed my little hometown of Salisbury has a place like this. We can't wait to come back for our next date night! read more

This location is a very cute spot to go for reservations or a random spot before heading home. Mogan's Oysters Rockefeller, interesting. Personally I have had better. Other than that, the service was great. We had multiple attentive waiters, our sandwiches were hot, seasoned to perfection and overall a good time. Sidebar, it was my first time having creme brûlée and WOW - I was impressed. I wish I could give this location a 5 out of 5, but I can't because - aren't oysters supposed to be their specialty? For those also concerned about COVID-19 protocols, there were also not many employees - if any - wearing masks or any type of protective gear. read more

Came here based on recommendations from yelp left feeling incredibly stuffed. Upon entering, was greeted by the hostess and waiter (shoutout to Luke) as though I was a regular. The draft beer list had many options to choose from (lagers to IPA's - recommend the "nat Bo" as a very light lager but flavorful. Their Oaxaca old fashioned piqued my interest and was damn smooth (not a mezcal lover but tasty). From recommendations by Luke for the Mac and cheese as well as the starter (oyster bisque), I left satisfied and not overly uncomfortable. Awesome ambiance as a low key type of restaurant, with good drinks, good food and decent portions. read more

Great option for the shore/Salisbury. Drink options are top notch. Old Fashion is on point for bourbon fix. Raw oysters are the way to go if you want fresh tasting oysters. Try the specials for something different. Locals, support this place so there is a nice place to dine. read more

Good oysters and nice ambiance feels like a DC RESTAURANT IN Salisbury! Good food! Dark wood with white table cloth tables! I'm

We were passing through on the way to Jane's Island and looking for a place to eat some seafood. Wow what a find. We called and made a reservation in advance due to COVID. Found street parking and got there at 7pm on Friday. It was pretty packed but they have multiple outdoor seating areas and plastic shields between booths. They also had hand sanitizing spray at each table. All servers wore face coverings and gloves. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and service was great!! But most importantly... the food was amazing! We had raw oysters- shucked well and fresh. Baked elote oysters - the most unique rendition of oysters Rockefeller that I've had yet. The pieces of corn, slight spicy kick, and cheese were perfect. My fiancee: "this is the first time I've ever licked an oyster shell [clean]." We also had grilled parmesean lemon butter oysters - loved the crispy shaved cheese. The watermelon arugula salad was refreshing and delicious with light dressing. Finally the crab cake duet was good - the green beans perfectly cooked, and I swapped the mashed potatoes for the corn-mushroom-squash veggie which was a seemingly unusual combination but fantastic. So glad we stopped here. Who knows, may come back on our way back. read more

Found this spot via Yelp when in Salisbury and decided to give it a try for lunch. ~ the hostess was lovely, the restaurant was beautiful and the server was quite knowledgeable! There were so many great options on the menu, it was very difficult to make a choice. We decided to try the French onion soup wontons (!) as an appetizer, and we were glad we did ! Crispy on the outside and filled with a little broth, caramelized onion and cheese, they were absolutely delicious. I had a fish sandwich, a nice piece of Mahi with an interesting tarter sauce and fries. I didn't eat the bread, the fish was great and the fries were pretty standard. My friend got the rich boy sandwich made with shrimp, the pineapple salsa included but the curry Mayo on the side. The curry Mayo had quite the kick, neither of us opted to eat it, but the shrimp with the pineapple was delish. All in all it was a great experience between the space, the service, the food and the value. We will be back when in the area, it was a great find. read more

Aloha, I was so excited to try Mogans after all the hype from hubby that this was the best in Salisbury. Not sure, but wasn't the greatest meal. We had a party of 10, shared a few appetizers, and ordered our own entrees. I took a bite from pretty much every ones plate, but sorry did not do much for me. Maybe an off night? Different cook? Even hubby said, wasn't the same as last time he was here, oh well, I guess I'll give it another try. BTW, Wednesday nights, is half-off wine bottles, now that was the highlight of the meal, enjoy! read more

It's ALWAYS seafood season at Mogan's Oyster House with a menu of inspired coastal cuisine in a bustling modern-industrial space. Mogan's Oyster House makes sure to pay homage to the seafood culture of the Eastern Shore. Owner/operator, Brad Mogan, partnered with local developers Bret and Kirk Davis to bring Mogan's Oyster House to fruition. Executive Chef David Wells, who is the driving force behind the food has perfected his menu. His experience is reflected and inspired by seasonal availability and relationships with local farmers and fishermen. He is committed to providing each customer with beautiful works of art on a plate! The ambiance of the establishment is a mix of modern, traditional, and industrial influences. One of the highlights of the restaurant is the open kitchen allowing the guests to see the culinary team create their beautiful presentations. The amazing bar area is also something to look at! Some of the most popular items on the menu are the Newburg Mac and Cheese which consist of cavatappi pasta, lobster, shrimp, scallop, mornay sauce, buttered panko crumbs, served with roasted broccoli. It looks so good we just had to order it while we were here. I also had the "Rich Boy" their take on the Po'Boy a traditional sandwich from Louisiana, which consisted of Flash Fried oysters, Curry Mayo, Pineapple Salsa, Basil, on a Split-Top Roll. This is a must-have if you like oysters, it is a phenomenal sandwich, and the curry mayo brings it all together. Finally, we had to have an appetizer, so I don't want to forget to mention it. The Bluefin Tuna Tartare was impressive! The white corn tortilla, passion fruit, micro greens, wasabi sauce, and cucumber were worth ordering. The taste of the food matches the overall presentation, in which all are fantastic. So, check out Mogan's Oyster House for yourself at 100 E Main St Suite 111, Salisbury, MD for a great food experience from preparation to presentation. read more

We are 3 friends who were celebrating 2 of our birthdays. 2 of us are return customers; 1 first timer; and we will be back! We had a lovely, leisurely celebration. The food was delicious (lobster rolls overflowing with huge pieces of lobster--no filling--and the daily special of soup and fried flounder sandwich). Scott, our server was wonderful. He was attentive without being intrusive--a perfect balance. We never felt rushed, just thoroughly enjoyed lunch. Scott delivered the 'surprise' birthday desserts beautifully--my friends had no idea they were coming until he arrived, softly singing happy birthday (so they wouldn't be embarrassed) and placing a crème brûle with a small lit candle in front of each of them. One of the 'birthday girls' said it was the best crème brûle she'd ever had--and she is very particular about her food! A final note--the booths are comfortable and make it easy to talk and hear one another. You should come--you won't regret it!! read more
