    This small family-owned and operated business was a treasure of a find. Truly a treat!…read more Staff: Staff, father & son duo were friendly and helpful ensuring the best experience possible. Food: Simply put- mind-blowing flavors. I had the crab clusters and they were amazing but expect to be messy in the best way possible. Each side I ordered was equally impressive. I'd highly recommend their fried corn and okra. Seeing it on the menu brought a smile to my face. Atmosphere: It was relaxing and quiet as the buzz from the chef in the kitchen prepared amazingly delectable treats in this mom-and-pop-style establishment. Please treat yourself and support this small business as it is truly a gem in the rough.

    So we ate here back in the spring and somehow I missed this review sitting in my drafts for so…read morelong. Sea's Bounty is located in the old Dairy Queen inside the Hanover Shopping Center intersection of England St and Washington Hwy. Key Summary: Primary foods are fried fish /shellfish and boils (mussels/shrimp, crab) and Po'boy sandwiches. They offer a wide variety of side fries, corn fritters, hushpuppies, fried okra, stuffed jalapeños, etc. Prices are amazing for the amount of food you get. This is one of the few places where I think the meals and sides might be underpriced. The gem of the restaurant is the owner. He was very nice the whole time, especially to my kids. It is clear he has a passion for cooking, and serving his customers. I was surprised that it was slow on a Friday evening, when we went. I hope it had picked up since I started this review. Anyway, I haven't been in awhile but the food was great when we went, the owner was amazing, and if you live in town or nearby and haven't tried this place yet, you should.

    We loved Randolph's On The River. It was clean and nice with a wonderful view, nice people, and…read moregood food. Yesterday was different. Sadly, very different. Randolph's is expensive. It is a seafood restaurant and we expect to pay more for good, fresh seafood. We cannot do that often and it had been a year since we had been there. Our experience yesterday was so disappointing, I doubt we will be back. First, little things: there was no beer on tap, the cold cases were not labeled correctly with dessert names holding wine and other unknown items. The sign outside with the name of the restaurant is long past time to be refreshed. It was barely readable. The number of tables had been reduced and there were pieces of tables outside and in the dining room. It appeared that there was only one person in the kitchen and the TV blared some "reality" show instead of music playing. It still was cute and clean but it felt like something that was nearly ready for the final lap. Second, the food: the pictures shown here are "before" pictures. The crab cake sandwich, for example, was the cheapest crab meat you can buy (yes, bordering on "goo") breaded and fried. It had more binder than crab. Unlike the pictures, you could not see pieces of crab and you could not taste crab. Let me recap in order. We ordered steamed spicy shrimp. They came out and looked great. Something was wrong. I've never needed so much effort to peel a shrimp. Husband used a fork to split the shell off of the shrimp. I ended up chewing a lot of shrimp shells because I could not get them peeled off. We also ordered the Captain's Platter to share. It is huge and that's the best thing I can say about it. They were out of scallops so we substituted fried oysters and picked catfish and our two sides. The catfish, oysters and hush puppies were fine. The crab cake was, as mentioned above, terrible. Not 'disappointing.' Not 'not good.' Not 'room for improvement': terrible. Embarrassingly terrible. Our meal came out without the sides. Our waitress was busy with the one other seated table in the place having a long conversation about tattoos and tattoo places in Fredericksburg and was heading back to the kitchen when we flagged her down. By the time our sides were out, we had finished the main course. The mac and cheese and the twice baked potatoes had just come out of the oven so the were blazing hot. Let me be clear: they cooked our main and sent it out and then started firing the sides. Actually they probably cooked some else's food and then fired our sides. The mac & cheese was fine, the twice baked potato skin was so charred, it was inedible and the inside of the potato was, well... mush. It looked like they had put it in a blender resulting in a tasteless paste consistency. And then the too-hot-to-eat food was presented to us after we had finished the main. Hubs ordered iced tea, I ordered water to drink. They were nearly the same color. To describe his tea as "weak" is a kindness. Something nice: The person who waited on us was very nice and did her best. Here's the best part: we dropped $60 for two people sharing app and entree. For $60, we could have had a nice meal served in proper order that had texture and taste. Instead we got unseasoned, tasteless gruel (with the exception of the catfish) that was way below "not good." Randolph's On The River will now just be a fond memory and not a special place to go. That makes me very sad.

    We drove to southern Maryland to pick crabs. Captain John's has in the past been dependably good…read more This time the food did not disappoint but the service was very rough. We ordered a dozen crabs, a pound of jumbo shrimp, a bowl of cream of crab soup, an order of hush puppies and an order of fried pickles. The soup had plenty of lumps of crab meat and a nice flavor, and the portion was ample. The crabs were described as jumbo but were closer to large. At $115 for the crabs, a dozen was enough. (Side note: when the market price is that high you really should disclose it on a specials sheet or chalkboard or something. The first mention of it was on the final bill.) The crabs were steamed well and did not taste muddy at all. The shrimp likewise was perfectly cooked. The pickles and puppies were delicious. Total bill before tip came to $200. On the high side versus expectations but not alarming. Service was worse than spotty. At times it was clear that the server had tables in multiple areas of the restaurant and needed roller skates to keep up. And there were times that she was sitting talking to other employees or with her regulars. Several things we had to ask for multiple times (melted butter for crab, drink refills, a few crackers) some of which we finally gave up on ever getting and went to the bar to request. Things like silverware had to be requested. Getting the bill took longer than necessary. All in all, service was 2 to 3 stars. Setting: Worn chairs and tables. Many televisions, all set to Maryland Lottery channels for fake horse races and keno that ran nonstop. Large lottery machine near the bar that did a steady business. This was distracting and not conducive to pleasant dining. Overall the food made the trip worth it. Will go back but not for the atmosphere or the service.

    Love it! Great service and fresh seafood. What else could you want? Pro tip: watch their…read moreFacebook page for updates on food offerings. Parking can be tough sometimes so get there early. They also have a seafood market that is worth checking out.
