The Maryland crab and cream of crab soups were pretty good. I got the oyster PO boy and it was pretty bad. The roll was like a cheap bagged roll: no crunchy crust or pillowy inside. The oyster breading had no seasoning and just tasted meh. They were put on the sandwich hot and got all soggy and the breading was falling apart. It wasn't "dressed" like a po boy should be but rather just had a slice of tomato and lettuce and some kind of sauce. It was served w chips that were supposed to be crab chips but they were plain and really overcooked and teeth-hurtingly crunchy. Mom got the fried green tomatoes which were pretty good. But the cream sherry sauce was overkill. Too much, it was drowning. Lump crab was good. Didn't love it. Seems popular though. read more

Food was good, portion was a little light. The service was great. The pricing was fair.

Thought this place might be a good local seafood match as described. The service and quality of food were not up to the previous reviews. I had the Ahi seared tuna wrap. It did not live up to the hype or description on the menu. The surprise was the desserts those were definitely on point! Should have had a pic for you but I can say they are worth it! read more

Great food, good daily deals, and wonderful service! But the noise level on a Sunday night was deafening. I'd only come back with the family for lunch or on a much quieter night. Special praise for our server Tyler, who was really attentive. We tried the steamed shrimp (excellently spiced), Prince Edward Island mussels, BBQ bacon burger, chicken wrap, and salad. All were very good. read more

Steelefish Grille - Mussels for dinner - Seafood Near Me - Bel Air, Maryland

Nothing wrong per say, just underwhelming. We live local and have rarely gone. Went recently and the food was just ok. The steam shrimp were over seasoned and the seafood platter was under seasoned everything was worn (including the check holder itself. We had two drinks, an app and two entrees and the total was $90. The restaurant has a nice location and ok selection. It just doesn't live up to the cost. read more

I've been here twice so far. I don't eat seafood, so every time we've come I've ordered the same dish: the Taco Salad. And that Taco Salad is pretty good, the portion is absolutely huge (the bowl literally seems endless) with all your standard taco salad fare with a big chunk of avocado on top. My mother ordered it last time and got sick an hour after eating it though. It's always pretty crowded in this place whenever we go, and the last time we were here the service was pretty slow. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It's a pretty pricy place, although the salad is big, I wouldn't pay $15 for it. My family enjoyed their seafood dishes. read more

The food is delicious and the service is good even when they are busy. The atmosphere is nice. Had a great time

Significantly better than Joes Crab Shack! :-) Quality food! Always good! Excellent Service! Its amazing how some places operate at a high level of service and quality food while others cant keep staff or the quality if their food up. Great food here! ... worth waitung for! They have one of the best half MD crab half Cream if Crab around. Highly recommend if you like the blend! Yum! read more

Steelefish Grille - IG @Happycrablady - Seafood Near Me - Bel Air, Maryland

My husband and I ate here for the first time last night. We ordered the fried green Tomatoes topped with crabmeat, bacon wrapped scallops, and he got the cajun pasta. The appetizers were so bland. There was no kind of taste at all. The shrimp and chicken in his pasta were way overcooked and the toast that came with it was burnt to the point of blackening. The cream of crab was delicious, I will say that, but everything else was just terrible. I gave it 2 stars and not 1 because our server was very attentive and pleasant even though she was busy dealing with superbowl patrons. I doubt we'll return here anytime soon. read more

My husband and I took our daughter here yesterday for lunch. They were short staffed and took a break from seating people. Amber who was working the front desk was so nice. I felt sorry for her. She was trying her best to get people seated. We finally got a table outside like we asked after waiting for 40 minutes. All the other waiters and waitresses seemed like they were in a mood. Fortunately, our waitress was Alex. She was the absolute most pleasant, wonderful waitress I have ever had. And my Very Berry Salad was amazing as usual. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for 1 year now! Everything is consistently excellent! Food and staff could not be any better. I attribute that to The restaurant manager (Chad Martz) who is always pitching in and making sure all we are happy with everything! Go and enjoy, you will not be disappointed! Can't wait for summer and the outdoor seating and music! read more

Such great food, service and atmosphere! I had the Crisfield Chicken which was amazing! Enjoyed all of the layers of this dish and so flavorful....not too much cream sauce on top and lots of lumps of crab meat. Absolutely love this place and I have tried so many different dishes and have never been disappointed. One of our local favorites! read more

My family needed a restaurant to accommodate a large amount of people after a funeral recently. Steelefish did a great job for us, especially with such short notice. They were able to set us up with a private area with a cash bar, personal bartender and servers. Donna the bartender did a great job, as well as, Kyle the manager. The preplanned menu dishes were excellent and there was plenty for everyone. We had a few special orders for a couple of people, and they were able to accommodate those requests without any issue. Thank you Steelefish for a job well done. read more

Wow bar service has gone so far downhill we had appetizers and drinks and left to go elsewhere for dinner because the bartender was inattentive and seemed clueless. Dined last night. Food was good; service was awful and the bartenders (both ladies) did not work well together. It was obvious because we were ignored by the bartender that did not originally wait in us by the inattentive and clueless original bartender. Won't go back read more

The reviews on yelp looked great , so we decided to check it out with two other couples. I wasn't impressed. Three of us got the tenderloin tips with mashed potatoes and asparagus . I asked the server if we could all have our tenderloin medium . When out orders were delivered the beef was so overcooked and dry ,the mashed potatoes were horrible .Out friend got a pasta dish which he said was tasteless . On a good note my husband got the fried shrimp ,which was very good . We all had the cream of crab and that was also very good. Don't know if I would go back . read more

Ate here at lunchtime, food was good. Scallops were tender & not overdone. Based on the lunchtime noise level and the size of the bar, it will be awfully much louder in the evening. read more

I wish you could enjoy steelefish but the bar staff are so clicking that you have a hard time to order Better to be seated in restaurant but it is so loud that it is not enjoyable too bad because food is good. Just not good atmosphere read more

The Ahi Tuna is good. The other dishes weren't so flavorful but it was my first time so I'll try more dishes. Great services. Crab soups were awful. read more

Very disappointed. Terrible service from bartender. As a former bartender and waitress, my husband and I are very well familiar with how it is when restaurants get busy. But when we sat at the bar our bartender passed by us 10 to 15 times without even acknowledging us. He was an older guy maybe in his late 30s early 40s. He totally ignored us did not even look at us. We would've understood that they were busy if he could've just looked us in the eye and said "hey I'll be right there". We walked out. We usually have great service and food. Next time we will go to dining room. read more

Awesome outdoor patio seating with playground for the kids! Our waitress was awesome making sure our large party was well taken care of. I had the black and bleu salmon and it was hands down one of the best things I've eaten in a long time! read more

The seafood we had was was bland and not at all what we anticipated for the price. If we EVER go back, we would try the hamburgers.

Great atmosphere, whether you're there with friends or your young family. Salads are excellent! Watch out their special sauce has a kick!

Had dinner tonight at this restaurant. The food is mediocre. As I scraped my plate to put in my to go box I found a long string of hair that was not mine. Very disappointing the manager was nonchalant. And asked if I still wanted to take the food home that then I just found Hair in. I do not recommend this place. The waitress was very nice and attentive however again the food is mediocre and had hair in it. read more

Great dinner here. Crab cake was great, very good steak for a fish restaurant. The fresh bread was delicious. Cocktails were not up to 'craft cocktail' standards but were decent. We really enjoyed our meal here after a terrible dinner somewhere else the evening before. read more

I was really disappointed in this place. I ordered a filet that was supposed to be medium and was brought out well done. The waiter didn't return for some time so I ate it but very disappointing for a $40 steak. My son ordered fried shrimp that was lukewarm and the breading was mushy. My 6 year old ordered a corn dog but they brought corn dog bites. And listen, I know it's the same thing and personally I prefer corn dog bites, but she's six and it wasn't what she wanted or what she ordered so we asked them to bring her some pasta instead and we were all done with our meals by the time she received it. Hard to believe it takes 25 minutes to dish up a kids pasta. read more

We have been going to this local restaurant for years. It's always been one of my favorites. In fact, we frequently ordered takeout from them during the pandemic to help keep them alive while restaurants were forced to close. Last night I called to place a takeout order and was informed of a $2 takeout fee. What a joke! It's only $2 but as a matter of principle, I won't be ordering takeout from them anymore. read more

My husband and I both enjoyed the food a lot. The fish tacos were very tasty and the chicken crisfield was delicious and both were good portions for the price. We did have to wait a little longer than expected for waitress during the meal when they weren't busy. Will return for the food. read more

Very disappointed. My fries and soap were barely Luke warm. Not that busy. You'd think they could at least serve food hot !!

We found our new favorite place! Went in at 3:00 on a Saturday and had no trouble getting seats at the bar and Madison served us right away. Her service was perfect! Not over attentive and there when we needed her. We ordered the calamari appetizer, I got the prime dip sandwich and hubby got a chicken dish from the specials menu which was rolled around spinach with prosciutto, a sherry cream sauce, topped with crab meat, served with broccoli and mashed potatoes. We loved that the calamari was served with 2 sauces! Nice to have a variety of flavors and most places do only a marinara or a "Blooming Onion" type sauce. The lemon garlic aioli was a refreshing change from the norm and although I dislike marinara, this one was extremely flavorful and complemented the dish perfectly! The calamari was just lightly dusted with breading, perfectly crispy and tender. The chicken special should become part of the regular menu! The sauce was flavorful and the ingredients worked together well. The prime rib dip was one of the best I've had and I eat these everywhere. Again, I love the dual dips...the standard au jus and the creamy horseradish sauce. I dip in both. Why anyone would serve a French Dip without this is beyond me. After reading the reviews I need to save room for dessert at our next visit read more

Superb dining & good food! I was out celebrating my mom and grandmother's birthday. My mom suggested Steelefish based on her friend's raving review. The outside looked a bit outdated, but how surprised was I to find how modern and contemporary it was inside! It was awesome. The food was absolutely delicious. It was a feast- crab dip, wings, crab cakes, shrimp-you name it! Everything was fresh and delicious. The service was friendly. My grandmom is usually cautious about certain places, but she loved Steelefish! I can't wait to have a girl's night here once it gets warmer outside. The restaurant has an outside dining area that I'm waiting to try out. =) read more

I went once, never returned. They came out with entire tables dinner and told me that they ran out of what I ordered. I had to reorder and watch everyone else eat; then everyone was finished eating and I still hadn't received my order. I couldn't hold everyone up so we paid our bill and yes, the total included my order! I had to ask for it to be removed because I never received it. I was told, "they are starting it now" well the rest of the table was fed 30 minutes before and that is when my order was placed. They then tried to get me to take it to go! Completely missed the point that I was there 90 minutes and never received a meal. I had to get the manager to take my order off the bill because the waitress seemed to think that I should pay for the food they finally got around to cooking for me and I should wait longer. read more

Solid place to go for lunch or dinner. No too pricey and the menu selection is good. Can take the kids or go with a group for a night out. They have Sunday drink specials read more

This restaurant came highly recommended by others in our family. This restaurant was definitely out of the way for us (about 40 minutes drive), but was well worth it. We shared the fried calamari and it came out piping hot and crispy with two sauces - white garlic sauce and red tomato sauce. I had a cup of the cream of crab soup. It was tasty and you could see the big chunks of crab as well. For the main, I had the Ulysses seafood pasta. When the plate came, I was scared because there was so much food! Lots of mussels, chunks of crab and shrimp. My husband had the fish and chips and the portion was so large it could have fed two people! For dessert, they did not bring a menu, but a platter so you could see exactly what was available. We ordered the oreo cake and were again surprised a the size of the slice of cake. To say it was generous would be an understatement. Very light and tasty. We would definitely come back to this restaurant and taste other dishes! read more

I visited Steelefish Grille on July 18th 2021. It was my very first time visiting; I was excited because of my overall love for seafood. The server was really nice and professional but the manager Josh not so much!!!Friends and I dined on the inside ! I ordered a Key Lime Martini and Maryland Steamed Shrimp and also an order of Old Bay wings. Upon receiving my drink I noticed flies floating inside of it. I immediately brought it to the server's attention. However , server took drink back to the bar...Manager made another drink but failed to personally come over , apologize and make wrongs right. Most restaurants with decent manager's would have personally apologized and adjusted the bill due to circumstances. I called for manager (Josh) had a conversation with him ..I was told "I didn't think it was that big of a deal , I sent you another drink over". Wow was all that I could say.. so many wrongs in how poorly this was handled. Josh smirked the entire time that I addressed this situation. I wrote a Google review and owner David Steele gave a very rude response . I was told that basically I was being dramatic. Needless to say that I WILL NEVER RETURN read more
