The service was fast, friendly and professional. The food portions were small for the price. I ordered a salad with sesame and sunflower seed crusted chicken, but it was black. Apparently, the chef used black sesame seeds. It just looked unappealing, and there was no sesame taste at all. My salad also had pickles in it, even though it was advertised as a pickle vinaigrette. I did not enjoy my salad and our server took it off our bill--she was so sweet about it. The description just didn't match what I received. A beautiful spot to grab a drink and sit outside on the water. read more

We were in the area and decided to stop by for a couple of drinks. This was our second time visiting, and it's definitely a nice spot to relax and unwind. One of the best things about this place is the location. It sits right on the water, and you can choose to sit inside or outside depending on the weather and the vibe you're looking for. There's also cornhole to play, and if you're feeling adventurous, there are nearby kayak rentals (not affiliated with the restaurant), making it a fun place to spend a few hours. We didn't order any food this time, just drinks. I had the Strawberry Moscow Mule, and we also ordered an Old Fashioned. Both were good and easy to drink, but neither really stood out or wowed us. They were enjoyable, just not especially memorable. Our bartender, Al, was such a sweetheart! She was friendly, attentive, and had the cutest, most distinctive laugh that made the experience even more enjoyable. Great service can really make a difference, and she definitely did. Overall, this is a great spot to grab a drink, take in the waterfront views, and enjoy a laid-back atmosphere. If you're in the area, I'd recommend stopping by. It's the perfect place to kick back, especially on a nice day, and we'll definitely be back to try more of the menu next time!

Service Can Definitely Improve! No greetings when we got to host area so we seated ourselves because there was no sign that said " wait to be seated". Then 1st staff member didn't acknowledge our presence for several minutes but when he did he asked if we talked to a host before getting sat. No water service for several minutes. Then another staff member finally brought us water, but no other offering to order. We had to hail down a manager in order to get our drinks ordered. We have yet to see our actual server still. Our appetizers arrived before our drinks even though several staff were just standing around doing nothing near the bar. Some staff were drinking soda meantime. Still the manager had to then take our entree order. But the manager could not write down the order, which I grew less confident she'd remember our entire modified order in detail. Which could prove why there was a mistake when one of the entrees came out incorrectly. Then when we needed one of the entrees boxed to go, they brought a to go box that clearly had the Clyde's Restauraunt Group logo on the box. I was extremely surprised to see that this Tavern is supposedly ran by Clyde's. Because of the extremely poor service and obvious lack of properly training staff I was astonished that Clyde's would be the overseers! Every other CRG restaurant anywhere in the DMV always had professional attentive service. Not here! When CRG signed a long term lease with Under Armour owner regarding this location, there must have been an extreme lack of focus on training staff properly! The servers there must have not gone through the weeks and weeks of rigorous training like other Clyde's owned locations do. I never ever take the time to write a review unless it's extremely poor service! read more

I think Rye's Tavern is gorgeous. It's such a nice place with ample indoor and outdoor seating. I'm sure it's a great space for hosting private events as well. Even the food presentation and plating is really nice, BUT the food was not a winner for me. I started with a half dozen oysters. I got the Wellfleet, and they were good. But honestly unless you don't clean them properly or the oysters are just rank, it's hard to ruin something that's eaten raw. So if you want nice views and oysters, I'd recommend coming for that. I wasn't planning on getting an appetizer but I I love Pork-belly so I wanted to try the Bbq Pork-Belly and house made tots. I enjoyed this dish but with a few tweaks it could be a lot better. I don't think the bbq sauce is necessary. When you braise pork belly it already gets this nice caramelization on it. And even a nice little char depending on how you prepare it. I'm not sure which bbq sauce they use, but I'd opt for something less sweet with more smokiness to it. The house made tator could've been a lot crispier too, it would hold up better after sitting in all of that white sauce. All in all it's still good, and I enjoyed the pickled collards that it was paired with. For my entree I ordered the Linz Heritage Filet Mignon. I ordered it medium rare. Now, it only takes about 7-10 mins to cook a medium rare filet mignon steak. Not only did it take like 40 mins for my steak to come out, but it was far from medium rare. It was much closer to a medium well, and that first bite took so long to chew. And the blue cheese on top, just ditch it, it's nasty. So I send it back and ask for the Spicy Sausage Rigatoni. And it was just okay. A bit bland in my opinion but it's pasta. I got it to go and when I got home I just threw some hot sauce on it and called it a day. Would I come back for outdoor drinks and oysters? Yes. Would I come back for a nice dinner...No. And mainly because our group ordered multiple things off the menu and everything was gorgeous in presentation but lacking in flavor, took forever to come out, some items were forgotten and brought out way later. It's just not worth the price in my opinion. You're essentially paying for the venue. read more

I relocated from Houston to the area near by. Beautiful atmosphere--love the fact that it's on the water. Busy on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm. I made a reservation for 1:45pm but got there earlier than expected. I was dining solo so the bar was an option or the inside with a window. I opted for inside due to how hot it was. There is automatic gratuity of 20% btw. But I ordered a cocktail which was light, a lil spicy and refreshing-not sure if it was worth the price though. Anyways, the main dish of the catfish was YUMMY along with the biscuits. To me, they pair well. Overall? My solo dining was good. I'll be willing to come back here and there are other businesses in this area which is nice to walk around. read more

Finally "made my way" to Rye Street Tavern. It's in parenthesis because I actually ordered it to go after realizing I had a flat tire. Safe to say though, it was a great mood booster. I can't speak on ambiance of the restaurant itself but their to go service and handling is top tier. They separated my hot and cold items and everything was in recyclable packaging. I got the rolls, sea-cuterie, Caesar, and steak fries. The honey butter that the rolls come with is SO yum and the rolls have a thick flaky salt on them that pairs nicely. The sea-cuterie is such a fun and cute idea, all your favs in one dish. So good I forgot to take a photo lol. The caesar was interesting, I've never had a salad prepared this way and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it, steak fries were perfect. Even to go, the steak was still hot, cooked perfectly, and so soft. I fear I may become a regular here, especially with their location being on the water. read more

Went here for father's day it was such a nice establishment it was right on the water. We did end up sitting inside as it was a hot day. The parking lot does fill up fast so we had to park a little bit down the street. But the food was good nice and flavorful. I would definitely come back to enjoy the bar that is outside on a cooler day. Our server was very attentive to our needs and went over the menu thoroughly. read more

Good ole Rye Street Tavern! Talk about a restaurant with great food and the views to match. Each time I've gone here, I am surprised by how much I enjoy my meal and the ambiance. It's truly such a laid back but memorable vibe. If not trying too hard but exceeding expectations was a restaurant, it would be this place! The restaurant sits alongside waterfront views. Its outside bar not only has high top tables surrounding the bar, but there are also tables with fire pits, and an open lawn area. If you think that's a vibe, there's more! The Rye Whiskey facility sits right next door, offering a special Rye Whiskey (not a typical whiskey making process) with tours available to show how they make it. When it comes to the food, I have not had one thing that was not up to par! The steak is tender, the oysters are FRESH, the trout is absolutely delicious, and the calamari certainly doesn't disappoint. All of the drinks look fairly good and the Espresso Martini is on point! It's actually made with Rye Whiskey. However, I typically opt for rum. Chefs kiss! Service was a bit slow starting out, but once we got our order in, the food came out quick. There is an automatic 20% gratuity added for groups, so be mindful of that. Outdoor seating also has a heater nearby in case it gets chilly. Overall, a lovely place to dine! Family friendly, laid back, great food, and great vibes. I'll be back for oysters and to try the rockfish! read more

What a great night! Cory was a fantastic server and took great care of us throughout the meal. The food was excellent across the board. We started with the half a dozen oysters, really impressive shrimp cocktail and calamari then moved on to the filet, crab cake, and a gluten free fudgy cake for dessert. Everything was well executed, but the crab cake was the real standout -- honestly one of the best I've ever had, and as a Marylander that's not something I say lightly. The fudgy cake was the perfect ending. We will absolutely be back. read more

I will start by saying that it was Mother's Day and they were extremely busy, but there were things that could have been controlled. When we got seated, our server came over and poured us waters. She informed us that she would bring us more water and also told us that the kitchen was extremely behind and that she was taking our brunch menus and giving us dinner menus. There were a couple of items we wanted to order that were not available at dinner. We wanted to order a couple of appetizers that would come out quickly as we were hungry. We ordered a dozen oysters and asked for the Parker house rolls cause she said both would come up quick. The oysters came out quickly, but we didn't see the Parker house rolls until the rest of our appetizers came out. Our server stopped by and once again said she would bring us more water. It was well over an hour until she brought another carafe of water. We were without water or drinks for quite a long time. The oysters were delicious. The Parker house rolls were good. My daughter and I split the sea-cuterie. It was fantastic and I would have loved more of it. We also had an order of the lump crab and artichoke dip and it was fantastic. For my meal, I had the falafel and hummus bowl. I really enjoyed it and each bite was so flavorful. We also ordered the shrimp spaghettini, which I'm told was very good and they would order again. The corn Mill crusted, Chesapeake Bay blue catfish was eaten once they got home because we were there for over three hours. Our food was promised to us numerous times and it still didn't come out. We were disappointed that a manager did not come by and check on any of the tables, especially since they knew they were so far behind in the kitchen. It was frustrating that our waitress. when she had the opportunity to do better, did not. For example, she asked if we wanted dessert and we said we would look at the menu. I could see her standing and talking to another server for almost 3 to 5 minutes before she brought us the menus. She knew that we had been there for a very long time and yet when she had the opportunity to lessen that time, she chose to chat with somebody. We asked for a manager to come over and let him know that we realized how busy they were due to it being Mother's Day, but that we were disappointed that no one checked with us and that our special day turned into us sitting there at a high top for 3 1/2 hours. He did take responsibility and offered us a discount on our meals and comped our desserts. I will say that overall, the food was outstanding. We enjoyed being outside and overlooking the water and seeing a cruise ship docked nearby. It even rained and we still enjoyed the feel of the restaurant. read more

I always enjoy myself at Rye Street Tavern. The location is great, although the parking can be pretty hit or miss depending what's going on that day in the surrounding area. The last time I went, they were doing some type of yoga event at the Sagamore distillery, so those participants took up a good chunk of the parking lot. I really enjoy sitting in the bar area during football season. The TVs are huge and service is pretty good. I've also been to a few business and personal dinners here and they've been great experiences. The food is great. I love their Seacuterie app as well as their honey old bay wings which are amazing. Their steaks have always been good. I had the salmon this week for the first time and it was seasoned very well! Not a fan of the kennebec potatoes that come with some of the entrees as they're usually dry and unseasoned. I wish they would improve the recipe there! Besides that, I'm usually pretty satisfied with my experience and would highly recommend it to others. read more

First time eating here and it was awesome. It was a little unclear of how to enter the restaurant for inspecting but someone instructed us. Once getting in, we had reservations for 9:30 pm and we waited abt 10-15 minutes to be seated. Our server was very pleasant, attentive , professional and funny (I don't remember her name) . I had the "Chesapeake Bay Rockfish" of which was really good, it was served with butter beans and spinach. I also had a side ordered of collards abd they were really good as well. My husband ordered "The Catfish" with spinach and mash potatoes, which was super good. Drinks were super good as well. The restaurant itself was nicely decorated. I disliked that bathrooms were only on the 2nd floor but I can understand why. The ladies bathroom needed some attention, but judging by the volume of people , it be no way to keep the bathroom clean completely. Overall we had a great time and would come back again! It was organized , food was played nicely and staff was awesome! read more

Disclaimer to start is that I've been here about three times in the past and been so impressed. I'm sorry I didn't leave a review after those visits but would have given 4 stars and was so excited to snag a reservation on a Saturday night tonight. Man, was it disappointing. Service was fine. The restaurant is nice although there were wet footprints by the entrance to the bar area where we were sat? But the food was largely not good. The parker house rolls and honey butter were amazing but things after that stagnated. The kalamari was fine, nothing wrong with it, average kalamari. But the drink I got was supposed to have rhubarb in it which you couldn't taste at all. The crab and artichoke dip was just cheese -- maybe a few small pieces of crab and not a detectable piece of artichoke in sight. Came with stale bread as well. And the crab cake (which I've had several times in the past and thought was great)? Well look at the picture - would you serve that to someone? Admittedly nice large chunks of crab with little filler but it was smushed and falling apart and on top of that it was not warm all the way through. Also it was 615 pm (the beginning of the night) and they were out of the pork belly tots which is a huge reason we decided to go there. Anyways, had good experiences in the past but this is probably our last visit. Hope it was just a fluke night in the kitchen for their sake. read more

I recently went to Rye Street Tavern for lunch and the food was delicious! The ambiance was great, with beautiful views of the water and a live musician playing covers. I ordered the oysters as a starter and it was very flavorful, made with lots of butter, cheese, and spinach. For lunch I had the jumbo lump crab cake, summer style, which came with roasted potatoes and corn and tomato salad. I'd been craving some good seafood, and I appreciated the option to have the crab cake on its own rather than as part of a sandwich. The service was excellent and my waitress was attentive, and answered questions I had about the menu and gave recommendations too. Highly recommend, and I'll have to go back soon to try the dessert! read more

We ordered the sizzling oysters. Would you get For and also the crab artichoke dip which was very tasty and not too much cream cheese.

I cannot say enough good things about Rye Street Tavern. The ambiance, the food, the service, everything was on point. We booked a reservation on open table so we were seated immediately. They have an upstairs and a downstairs, with a beautiful view of the harbor throughout. We started with the calamari and it was perfectly cooked. I loved that it had a cornmeal crust which was different. For my meal I got the braised lamb bucatini. The lamb was cooked PERFECTLY. It was so tender and had amazing flavor. The bucatini was also cooked perfectly and I love how the lemon ricotta blended in and tied the dish together. Overall we had a fantastic time and I will be back! read more

I haven't seen my friend in a few years. I was in Baltimore for the week working and we decided to make it to Rye Street Tavern. We made it for happy hour and we sat by the bar outside. It was a beautiful day a little windy because we were by the water. Of course we made friends at the bar. We ordered a total of 6 oysters each, Wings and fries. I can't remember what I ordered for my drink. But I do remember it being good. We were service pretty quickly, and the food came out fast. Our server was very attentive took care of us and it was a calm, beautiful day. I can't remember what oysters we ordered, but there were only two on the list that were available and they were delicious! The wings were good nothing to die over but they were great and I always love french fries so that was great for me too. Very cute outdoor spot walked inside to use the restroom. The bathrooms are clean and overall just a very cute restaurant. read more

We had a nice experience here. Our server, Cat, was very attentive to our party. We started our dining with some appetizers, warm parker house rolls, bbq pork belly and tots, and crab and artichoke dip. Everyone really enjoyed them. The entrees were very good as well. The lump crab cake was great, very little fillers and tasted great. The spicy sausage rigatoni, shrimp spaghettini and the braised lamb bucatini were all well received. The setting was nice, too...located right near the water. Highly recommended for a relaxing place to grab a bite and socialize. read more

Rye Street Tavern is always a great place for dining. The atmosphere is great, decorative, and clean! Unfortunately, I forgot my servers name but she was phenomenal with making menu suggestions and she was very attentive. The wings here are my favorite. I do not know any establishment that allows you to split the wing flavors. We ordered half buffalo and half honey old bay. The honey old bay was delicious. The Mac and cheese and collards were not my favorite but the short rib was tender and seasoned well. When the weather is nice out it is perfect to sit outside as the restaurant overlooks the water. read more

We came here for a Christmas gathering and it was super lovely. The atmosphere was beautiful at Christmas time. The food was also incredibly delicious! I got the steak and crab cake and oh boy was that crab cake phenomenal. Hardly a lick of filler to be found. The calamari was also incredible. Our waiter definitely left a bit to be desired. It felt like we were forgotten about at times and like about an hour could've been shaved off of our time here if we were actually attended to. It also was a hassle to get drinks ordered and drinks were also forgotten about. read more

Have gone a few times. I love the consistency and variety of Rye street tavern. The food is your standard tavern options but with an elevated flare to some of them. Nothing stands out as particularly memorable but I never hate anything I try. Solid 3 stars to me. Highly recommend getting oysters! Some of the best in the area. Service is quick and efficient. Ambiance is great for a date or a solo adventure. In warm months the outdoor seating has an amazing view worth posting about. read more

Visited Rye Street Tavern again with my colleagues. I ordered the po boy sandwich and it was the best po boy I ever had! Nathan was our server and he was fantastic! He recommended the po boy and he was right. It was delicious. I also tried the crab dip and it was creamy while you can taste the crab. The bread that i came with was soft and fresh. I really enjoyed the crab dip. Everyone in our group loved what they ordered. The iceberg wedge salad, burger, crabcakes, and crab dip were all standouts among our group. Shoutout to our server, Nathan, who was patient, kind, and willing to help us with the cupcakes that we brought in. Nathan also gave us to go containers and bag for our cupcakes. We truly enjoyed our time. read more

Smooth blues-swing set the tone at an indoor bar on the Patapsco. We came to Rye Street Tavern once again, this time to hear a fine blues-swing band we know, The Blue Rhythm Boys, in the acoustically-full indoor first-floor bar. We love this band and these musicians, who often play together or separately across a variety of venues and musical styles. There's plenty of free onsite parking, using an app to register your car for several hours. The indoor bar is on the right from the main entrance, with high-top seating for around 18, and seating for about 18 more at two bars, one of which has a view of the Patapsco River. And above the bar is a back balcony with seating for 16, and a Patapsco-facing loft bar with seating for 28, and you can also hear the band from both. It's almost secondary to mention the food and drinks we enjoyed :-). We arrived during the 3-6pm happy hour, and managed three $10 drinks from that menu, two Sagamore Rye Manhattans, always crisp and balanced, and their margarita, sweet and tangy. Of course we had the 3pm-6pm (and late-night) half-price oysters, 6 for $11.50, always a tender juicy treat here. This time we chose medium New Brunswick Chebooktook oysters on the half shell, lightly-briny with a sweet finish, served with oyster crackers, and sides of cocktail sauce and classic simple mignonette red-vinegar shallot sauce. They had several Oktoberfest entrees available (Oct 2025), but we decided on their very loaded $20 mile-high roast pork-belly sandwich, incredibly tender thin shaved slices with savory herb flavoring and "southern maryland style" spicy braised greens, on a light soft toasted challah bun. And we enjoyed their $23 gentle butternut squash al-dente ruffled lily-shaped campanelle pasta in buttery gruyère, with transparent caramelized onions and bright green pepitas, under pecorino romano and several sprigs of bold fried sage. This was our first time indoors here, which is the reason for this review. There are several other indoor and balcony dining areas that we haven't tried yet. Street Tavern is quite a lovely venue with many choice experiences. We heard a group of musicians with sublime talent in a room with great acoustics. And the food and drink were lovely as always. By the way, on the way out after dark, we saw lovely blazing fire pits with seating on their patio, and we felt a flood of warmth from overhead heating at their outdoor bar. This will be a nice spot in chilly weather. read more

I was blown away by the service I received here the other day. To be fair, I did go with someone that knew the restaurant, but I went over lunch and had a really great time. It's a stunning restaurant honestly Rye before the Clyde group took over was my favorite restaurant in the city. I got their pretzels, which was one of the best pretzels I've had in the city and I really like their oyster program a lot they had a lot of really good oysters, and I learned that they have one of the largest oyster restoration programs in the country. The salad was really good, but the thing that I thought was the most special was this roasted butternut squash soup, which isn't seasoned it's just self fortified and mixed with chicken stock with a Brulé of marshmallows. I really thought it was a fun play on the Thanksgiving, sweet potato casserole. I definitely want to go back! read more

Nice location and easy to get to. However, parking is a joke. You do get 2 hours free if you can find a spot. We almost drove off and just said forget it until we found people walking out and had to ask them where they were parked. Very frustrating and unwelcoming/unfortunate. The restaurant itself was huge. There's a massive courtyard area with tons of outdoor seating and an actual bar out there as well. It was raining when we visited so it was closed. Not sure if it opens at night or not either. Views are spectacular!! Front door is a bit back inside the space. Inside there are 2 bars - one upstairs and one downstairs. There were a ton of dining spaces as well. Very busy place. Lots of people waiting. Highly recommend making reservations. We found seat at bar that was packed. Bar had live music which was great. Only ordered 2 drinks - Hide n Seek (so so good), and the Rye Espresso Martini (fabulous - not sweet at all). Both were delicious. They do have a fully stocked bar. Lots of options, especially their own line of liquor. Food around us looked very good. Especially the Parker rolls!!! Maybe will try next time. Service was terrific. Very attentive even though they were slammed. They had empty tables and a huge line of people waiting. When asked about a seat was told booked solid. Perhaps not enough workers to support the size of the space. The decor is super cool and creates a nice atmosphere and vibe. Would try again if perhaps during the day or with reservations. We only wanted drinks so worked out great for us. Would love to come during the day and hangout in the courtyard area. Worth a try for sure. Just pack your patience as parking is awful. Why do they not have enough spaces for the size of their restaurant - beyond me. Perhaps of closer wouldn't mind the aggravation, but when drive out of way to visit it's not fun. Good thing the drinks were absolutely delicious and worth the headache! read more

Close where I live. When my best friend and I pulled up, it was beautiful. Sits right on the water. We park and walk up to the hostess stand outside. This stand is only for those who want to seat outside. Again it was nice and there were a lot of people out there. We chose to sit inside though so we proceeded inside to let them know about our reservations. Bathrooms are all the way upstairs. Down tot he nitty gritty! The mocktails were good. The lemonade is watery. The fried catfish and mashed potatoes were not good. The sea-cutterie board was great! There is shrimp, crab in butter and oyster Rockefeller. I had two of these since there is not a lot on the board. Bestie had the gumbo but it wasn't seasoned that well. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. I appreciated her patience as we navigated the menu! Glad we got to try this place out. read more

Generally speaking, Rye Street is gorgeous. Waterfront, beautiful outside dining, high top and low top tables for options, etc. My friend and I arrived Sunday and signed up for the waitlist to get an outside table, which was accommodated using a text message being sent to one of the parties. That - I did appreciate, as you can walk the water line, sit somewhere and just chill, or shop in the surrounding area without conflict. We got our text about 15 minutes later, which was better than what we were told. And at that moment, it was so far, so good. But then, we were seated and greeted by Madeline who, was not a good server. Given it's a semi-busy Sunday, but here's my thing : if that's the case and you're feeling overwhelmed/busy, communicate with your table that there's a delay and in the meantime, if you can get us anything else, bring out some ketchup before our food comes, give us extra napkins, etc. and instead of any of those, Madeline just passed by our table without communication. Multiple times at that. She didn't ask our table if we wanted ketchup nor how our food was until nearly the end of our meal. Now was it...? Yes, their fries were GREAT. Like the real kind of great. I would like to come again, maybe to strictly sit at the bar. But future comers, please note that Rye Tavern has a standard 20% gratuity that's added at the end of your bill but it is OPTIONAL - please read when it's time to check out. read more

My dad and I made a last minute decision to have dinner at Rye Street Tavern on a beautiful Sunday night after many recommendations. I made reservations on Open Table and we were seated within minutes, with the option to sit inside or outside!!! Alex was our awesome server!! He greeted us with water and a smile!! My first question when I visit a restaurant for the first time is always, what are the most popular dishes!!! Alex was happy to share these with me. We started with drinks, oysters on the half shell as well as oysters rockefeller, both fresh ans excellent!! For entrees, I had the short rib pasta which was absolutely amazing! My dad had the spare ribs, fries and coleslaw. He enjoyed every bite. We decided to get dessert and went with the Peanut Butter Pie, probably the best I've had! The ambiance is absolutely beautiful. Plenty of inside and outside seating on both floors. There is a great view of the water. Outside there are fire pits, plenty of seating and a bar! They have awesome happy hour specials during the week!! I can't wait to go back when I'm in Baltimore next!!! read more

This restaurant is definitely a Baltimore city gem! The views and the food?! Absolutely incredible. We had an amazing waitress who provided details about certain menu items and also gave us her recommendations. This was very helpful since it was my first time visiting. I got a cocktail to start, and for my entree, I ordered the salmon with broccolini and potatoes. I was in love. Everything on my plate tasted divine. The salmon was so well seasoned with the right amount of spices, and it's also cooked medium done, giving it the perfect texture. We sat inside because the outdoor seating was full, but we were able to get a somewhat nice view of the water from the second floor. The outdoor bar was very crowded, but that shouldn't be surprising for a Saturday afternoon in the summer. I definitely plan on visiting again and maybe sit at the outdoor bar and then relax on the grass overseeing the water. read more

After doing the tour of the distillery this place was a great choice for lunch. The food was good and the view great. I had the turkey and avocado sandwich. Very tasty.. our server Kiki was friendly and professional.. however one of the servers who brought out the food not so professional i wish I'd gotten her name. My friend ordered the burger with cheddar and when they brought it out it was white cheddar he mentioned he didn't realize it was white cheddar her response was " well now you know " not asking him if he's ok with the white cheddar or offering to replace with yellow cheddar just " well know you know" and walked away... other than that our party of 10 would happily return. read more

Rye Street Tavern is right on the peninsula and walking distance from my house, so I frequent it often--especially for the Honey Old Bay wings (get them with blue cheese... thank me later). The waterfront location makes it prime for spring and summer vibes. I've tried several items on the menu, including the lump crab dip, Pee Dee Gold fried chicken sandwich, steak frites, and the fried chicken rice bowl--all solid choices. The signature drinks are also really well done. Highly recommend brunch, but definitely make a reservation because the outdoor patio fills up fast--and let's be honest, who wants to sit inside for brunch? read more

Caught up with a friend here recently and loved the cocktails, the atmosphere, and the friendliness of the staff. Really cool spot where you'll feel welcomed. read more

I've now been back several times for each kid of outing and this time by far was my favorite visit. Our server was great. She took the time to review menu items and answers questions. The vibe inside was very chill, and the booth style seating helped us to be cozy. Menu highlights from this visit: -Old bay honey butter wings -Gumbo (my friend said it could have used more spice) -Baby back ribs -Rockfish -Creme brulee Their dessert coffees were really good as well! Minus a star because I wish you could select indoor or outdoor seating as part of your reservation. I wanted to sit outside but was told there was a 2 hour wait for outside. I would have loved to have a preference as someone with a reservation. read more

The biggest issue wasn't the mistake--it was the way it was handled. Our group was given the wrong bill, and we paid it without realizing at the time. Once we noticed the error, we immediately brought it to the staff's attention, expecting a simple correction. Instead, we were met with a complete lack of urgency and accountability. We waited for over an hour asking for assistance, speaking to multiple staff members, and still received no resolution. Management was either unavailable or unwilling to step in and properly address the situation. Mistakes can happen anywhere, but how a business responds is what truly matters--The lack of communication, follow-through, and basic customer service left a lasting negative impression. I hope management takes this as an opportunity to improve their customer service processes, because no guest should have to spend that much time trying to resolve a billing error. read more

I went here for brunch with friends to celebrate my birthday. We had a larger reservation so I had to call ahead for a reservation but the process was seamless. We were seated immediately when we arrived. Our waitress was so sweet! I ordered the crab cake sandwich that was really tasty. The restaurant has two levels with a bar on the upper level. When it's warmer they offer outdoor seating as well. I had a great time and great service. read more
