    Went to Shady Side Soft Serve yesterday and it did not disappoint! By far the best soft serve in the tri-State region. A bit hard to find, behind the car wash, but go once and you"ll go back again and again. The swirl soft serve in a waffle cone, rolled in peanuts and dipped in chocolate is so freakin amazing! The ice cream is quality, the service is great and the value is a throw back to another time! This place has a cult following and all the locals go there multiple times per week. Run don't walk to Shady Side Soft Serve! Get a big ass waffle cone dipped in some sort of amazing topping-you"ll thank me later!

    Twist soft serve with peanut butter dip.

    I came last year for the first time while visiting from Los Angeles, the peanut butter dip is outrageous and something I haven't been able to find anything like that at home.

    Great location at the end of a small town road and on the shore. Big dining rooms and a fun bar…read more Service was just ok. Young girl didn't want to be there but I get it. Probably a summer job. Crab soup was a 5. Delicious with chuck of crab. Fish Tacos a 5. Big, well seasoned fish with a corn salsa. Could have used more sauce. Crab cake was a 5. Choices are blackened, fried, or broiled. Went with broiled and it was excellent. Great cakes here with not too much filler. Fries and onion rings a 3. Nothing special. Orange crush. cocktails are a thing here. Refreshing for sure. Ok selection of beers on tap.

    We came to Skipper's for the Mrs. Maryland Club sandwich. The last time my wife and I were here, we…read moreremembered just how delicious this sandwich was, so we decided to make the trip back. We arrived around 6:30 PM and were surprised to see the parking lot pretty empty. We sat at the bar and were greeted quickly by the bartender, who took our drink order. Both of us ordered the Mrs. Maryland Club, which is made with shrimp salad, a crab cake, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The sandwich arrived fairly quickly and looked good, but right away we noticed something seemed different from our last visit. The biggest disappointment was the size of the crab cake and amount of shrimp salad. The last time we were here, the crab cake covered the entire sandwich and shrimp salad was falling off the sandwich. It was one of the reasons we remembered it so fondly. This time, the crab cake was noticeably smaller just a little bigger than a golf ball the shrimp salad was just 7 baby shrimp and the chips I got maybe 12-15 chips and half of them were rubbery, overall the sandwich just didn't seem as substantial as we remembered. The little shrimp salad had good flavor, the bacon was cooked nicely, and everything tasted fresh. It just didn't live up to the memory of our previous visit, not worth $21 for sure. Service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. The atmosphere was relaxed, and as always, the waterfront location is a nice place to enjoy a meal. Overall, the Mrs. Maryland Club is still a good sandwich, but based on our experience, the portions seem to have gotten a lot smaller. We'll likely return again, but we hope to see the sandwich brought back to the size and quality that made it so memorable the first time.

    We had a quick business trip to the area and stopped here for an early dinner before heading to our…read morehotel. This place is nestled along the quiet waterfront in Deale, Maryland; it is one of those classic Chesapeake Bay gems that manages to balance small-town charm with a lively dockside spirit. You will always find fishermen swapping stories, families gathering after a day on the water, and visitors who came for the sunset and stayed for the crab cakes. The panoramic view of Rockhold Creek is breathtaking. The vibe is relaxed and local in the best possible way: nautical flags, weathered wood, and a bar that feels as though it's been a gathering place for generations. In warm weather, the outdoor deck fills quickly, offering the ultimate place to enjoy a cold beer and a platter of seafood as the sun dips into the bay. It was too cold for us; we hope to make it back here in the spring with warmer weather. The menu at Happy Harbor is rooted in Maryland tradition but isn't afraid to have a little fun. We started with the creamy Maryland crab dip; it is served bubbling hot with toasted baguette slices. It's rich without being cloying, anchored by sweet, fresh lumps of crabmeat that remind you how close you are to the source. Next, we had the steamed blue crabs. Steamed to order, they arrived fragrant, steaming, and perfectly seasoned--the hallmark of a place that knows its craft. My wife went with the grilled rockfish sandwich--local to the Bay and cooked to perfection--which arrived simply dressed with lettuce, tomato, and a smear of house-made tartar sauce on a soft brioche roll. It's the kind of straightforward, fresh preparation that showcases confidence rather than flash. I went with the Captain's Combination Platter, a local favorite, offering a sampler of crispy fried shrimp, oysters, scallops, and a generous portion of hand-cut fries. It's hearty, unpretentious comfort food that's as much about the experience as the flavors. You can pair your meal with a craft beer from a regional brewery or a signature crush cocktail--the orange crush was my choice. As far as the service, Happy Harbor is friendly and efficient, with staff who genuinely seem to enjoy the rhythm of the place. Our server was engaging and quick with recommendations and even quicker with refills, striking just the right note between laid-back and attentive. Happy Harbor isn't chasing trends--it's celebrating tradition. It's a place where the seafood is fresh, the portions generous, and the mood somewhere between a family gathering and a dockside festival. Whether you're a local returning for your favorite crab dip or a traveler discovering the simplicity of a Maryland summer meal by the water, Happy Harbor delivers a quintessential Chesapeake experience.
