    The Rumor Reel. | Nature's drip in biodegradable serverware 12oz, dine in.
    Kris P.

    Rumor Reel is tucked away in a marina and is a well known spot with the locals. The menu covers everything appetizers, salads, main entrees, including handhelds for those wanting a quick bite. Cocktails, wine, and draft are available. I've enjoyed several dishes during my visit to the area here. The calamari was served hot, however the serving was small. The fish and chips is an option as the cod was hefty and batter ratio was good. The cream of crab was good however after a few spoons, it was too salty. Maybe just the batch the day of my visit, but I couldn't finish it. The Buffalo shrimp salad was a perfect dinner size though I'm not sure how I feel about the diced tomatoes and chopped red onions. I prefer them sliced and the generous portion of bacon was a lot. Adding avocado and subbing the dressing to their Old Bay ranch served on the side was a bonus. If you love peanut butter, the Reese's pie is decadent to polish your meal. Being a marina the parking shares the yard with boats, heed caution when maneuvering through the gravel lot. There are ramps at the entrance for access. Fun place as they have live bands and screens throughout. The staff here have wonderful hospitality! Go see the Rumor Reel if you're in the area!

    Big outdoor patio facing the marina. Food pretty bland. They close early during week. 8p. Park on gravel. No pavement.

    Wifey waiting at the table!

    The food here was fantastic!! We stopped here before photographing a wedding a few miles away. Absolutely fantastic! Service was great! I'd recommend outdoor seating if you want good atmosphere as inside is pretty plain. We got shrimp and they were great size, easy to peel. Would definitely go back! Beer menu was great too!

    My first time at Rumor Reel. We dined here because we had a friend who came by boat. Unless you live in Pasadena, this is a restaurant I have never heard of and by the water. The parking lot is interesting because you park underneath a boatel. I'm sure this place is nice in the summer months because they have a large outdoor patio overlooking the water. When we got inside, I noticed the noise level was loud! We didn't have reservations and were the first ones there so they seated us in the back area. I noticed the band was setting up but didn't say anything to the hostess. I went to the bathroom and when I got back we were moved to a high top. Our friends arrived but they didn't want to sit near the band so we asked for a table in the other room. We just had to wait 10 minutes for a table. Our server Dawn was really nice and let us have separate checks. She gave us complimentary hush puppies and corn bread for the table and both were great! I ordered the shrimp salad wrap and my significant other ordered the buffalo shrimp salad. I enjoyed both of our dishes. The buffalo shrimp had a kick but was pretty tasty. The food and service were great. I gave it 4 stars due to the noise factor.

    Rumor has it!

    Let's start with ambiance. Rumor Reel offers indoor and outdoor seating. First visit, for lunch, was during the summer, so we sat outside on the deck overlooking the marina. Depending on which table you're assigned and which seat you take, your view might not be as panoramic as expected. I was stuck facing the industrious building next door. Still, the soft lapping of the waves makes for a peaceful and relaxing experience; and when I turned slightly in my seat, I could look at the boats and the waterfront homes. Second visit was in the fall, later in the evening; a bit chilly so we sat inside at the bar. A singer/songwriter was performing in the dining area. Good performer, perfect volume so you could enjoy the music but still speak to one another. I generally like bars and restaurants that are cozy, warm and dark. Rumor Reel is none of those. It has metallic decor and bright lighting. Not exactly the nautical theme I'd expected for a marina bar. The food and the people, both staff and patrons, make this restaurant a keeper. For lunch, I had Mango Mahi, grilled, with pineapple rice. Fresh and delicious. The second visit, we had appetizers, including calamari and jerk chicken skewers, and an entree of sea scallops. Not a single complaint. Well, maybe one: asparagus is supposed to be stiff enough to eat with your fingertips, not limp. Regardless, the meal was thoroughly enjoyable. The staff is friendly and efficient. Patrons seem to be mostly locals who all know each other, yet everyone made us feel welcome. It's like a marina-based Cheers bar. A new local favorite for us.

There is a two part type of deal, right in the front with all the seafood you can order fresh seafood steamed to order. Around the corner they sell various hot foods and sides as well as a couple of desserts. I tried menu items from both sides as I was curious about their cold side items. The fresh seafood is priced very reasonably and everything is super fresh, you can tell. They have a self serve station with condiments and all sorts of things you can add. I would recommend making your "sauce" before you get all your food for the smoothest eating process. They also offer a couple of alcoholic beverages and coke products. There is indoor seating that is bench style. I really enjoyed the Maryland decorations around. Overall this is a great place to take any seafood lover and I definitely recommend trying out both food sections. My next visit I'm definitely trying out their crab cake, it looked amazing!

If you walked in blind, you honestly wouldn't even guess they specialize in seafood -- that's how clean and fresh the environment felt. Major points for that alone. Now let's get into the food. I started with the cream of crab soup. The portion was solid and there were huge chunks of crab throughout, which I definitely appreciated. However, the base itself just wasn't to my liking. The crab was there, but the flavor profile didn't quite hit for me. For my entrée, I ordered the oyster platter with two sides -- regular fries and coleslaw -- and added a shrimp basket because when you're at a seafood spot, you might as well go all in. The meal definitely satisfied my hunger, but if I'm being honest, it tasted more boxed and frozen than freshly battered. That homemade, crispy, just-dropped-in-the-fryer feel wasn't quite there. On the bright side, the fries were good -- hot, crisp, and dependable. The coleslaw was exactly how I like it: balanced, not too sweet, not too heavy on the mayo. Where they truly shine is customer service. The staff was accommodating, friendly, and very helpful throughout the visit. Service can make or break a dining experience, and they definitely delivered on that front. Overall, while this visit didn't completely wow me food-wise, the cleanliness and service alone are enough for me to give them another shot. I'll be back to try something different and will happily update my review. Stay tuned.

They also ordered an order of Sweet Potato Fries with melted butter and cinnamon sugar on the side. This was such an interesting combination, which he really likes. My husband and I decided to try the Shrimp Salad with no bread. He had his with tomato and onion rings and I had mine with lettuce, tomato and Sweet Potato Fries. The shrimp salad was a generous portion that was perfectly seasoned. They serve their drinks in small pitchers.
