    This Thursday lunch was the second time in a row where the outdoor service was terribly slow. The first time no one came to our table after we were seated and after fifteen minutes, we left. Today we were entertaining out of town guests, so we stayed and eventually we were able to order. Having a meal outside with the view of the marina is the draw for this restaurant, but the slow service is a major drawback. The food is good; however, the outdoor service is terrible.

    The happy hour menu says $5 house wines. I asked, "Do you have a house Sauvignon Blanc and she said. "Yes. Kim Crawford." So I excitedly said I'd like that only to find out that is not a happy hour wine and was $10 each when the bill came. But you know what? They graciously made it right. So I would recommend instead of asking, "Do you have a house...." Ask. "What are your happy hour wines.". My wedge salad with salmon was delicious! Salmon medium rare and tender and moist. Plenty of bacon. Although the dressing was liquidy, it was just fine on the salad. Tasted my son's fries and they were piping hot. Crispy. Delish. His Reuben was huge! Hubby's shrimp bang bang tacos were great! The view of the marina was beautiful!

    Great location on the water. Excellent seafood selection! A bit loud with the bar noise, but not too bad very friendly staff. Would love to come by in the summer!

    This place has a local feel where they know you by name. I'm sure it gets packed in the summer or during a good game. This was my first time, and the waiter was great at explaining the favs. I tried the fried shrimp and had zero complaints. Plenty of flavor and cooked well. I also tried the fish tacos. This is not a Mexican restaurant, it's more like a beach bar. So don't expect Mexican-style fish tacos. I'm not saying they were bad just setting expectations. I would absolutely come back next time and I'm trying the wings.

    Very mid food. Calamari wasn't necessarily seasoned, Brussels sprouts were very over cooked. Oysters were just fine and the crab dip was okay. Wouldn't come back for the food but the view was nice.

    Went here Saturday night around 9 pm, the weather felt nice outside so we were hoping we'd be able to sit outside and have some drinks, but they actually closed their outdoor seating early in the night so we had to be inside. We were sat at one of the two seat tables along the wall near the bar. Couldn't get an indoor patio table because they were all apparently reserved already, so we just went with what we could get. We went only for drinks since we had eaten else where prior. I ordered the strawberry daiquiri (6/10) very little alcohol really just tasted like juice mix. The cherry limeade crush (7/10) the flavor was good and I could taste a little alcohol. And also a Bushwacker (10/10) it was creamy, strong, and so so good. Def my favorite drink on the menu. Overall, the service was fine our waitress checked on us a decent amount of times I'd say. Next time I plan to actually try their food, but I've for sure added this place down to come back for drinks. There's other drinks I'd like to try on the menu, but I will def be returning for their Bushwacker. Total for 6 drinks came out to $77. My overall rate of experience : 7.5/10

    Absolutely recommend Stony's. Straight up fantastic seafood. The place is a vibe, bit of a pub with some tables about, but lots of bar stools. Seating by windows on the marina is really nice. Great staff there, really did a great job taking care of us. We got a couple appetizers and a sandwich to share, they even split the sandwich and plated each separately with fries and a pickle. Nice! Speaking of which, the flounder BLT excellent. Crab cake app was well done, so tasty and loads of crab. And the firecracker shrimp rocked! Spicy for sure, tasted similar to buffalo sauce, but such good shrimp. Accompanying ranch helps :) Glad we found Stony's!

    Very standard grill with a nice view of the marina. I got the chicken and waffles and enjoyed the hearty Southern brunch. My partner and I had some time to kill before going to the airport, and the staff was very welcoming and let us sit until it was time to catch our flight.

    I went here for breakfast and dinner in one day. I had just moved to the area and spent a couple weeks dining at local spots around east beach. Lovely story about the owners (maybe not the part about being Penn State fans haha ... go Ducks!). The restaurant is like a small sports bar meets casual seafood dining. Seems like a lot of regulars come here. The breakfast was okay. The fried chicken very well done. Dinner was better food but nothing stood out to my taste buds. The drinks were stiff! I can see myself coming here to watch football and munch on something in the future. The staff were all very friendly.

Parking can be rough, there are a few spots behind their building and we were lucky to get one as someone was leaving. If you're less lucky you can look for street parking and walk over. We arrived about 11:50 AM and weren't sure if we should seat ourselves. The place was busy and the family that arrived after us had a short wait. The dining area has a cozy, local beach vibe with fresh colors and refreshingly diverse mix of diners. We asked the bartender about seating and she responded "he's coming now to seat u." A friendly elderly gentleman headed our way and slowly showed us to our table. The waitress came a few minutes later and was friendly despite how busy she clearly was. Drinks were ordered and a few minutes later she took our food order. The food was a bit slow coming out but I tend to expect that on Sundays at busy local spots. My husband got the pancake breakfast and I ordered a 2 egg breakfast. The pancakes were delicious and so was the sourdough toast that came with my meal. I subbed handcut fries for the breakfast potatoes and while the fries tasted good... they were room temp as were my husband potatoes which were also under seasoned. I was hoping that the longer wait for food would mean it was going to come out hot. (But no luck) Overall, I'd come back. Side note: tipped the waitress a $20 on a $40 tab because my husband said "no change needed" before I could tell him I only had 3 $20 dollar bills. Instead of chasing her down I decided maybe it would earn me a kindness karma point somewhere along the line, lol.

    SandFiddler's Cafe Off Shore Drive…read more I stop by SandFiddler's Cafe whenever I bring somebody to the Ocean View Medical and Dental Clinic. While I wait, I grab a cup of coffee and something to eat. Most of the time it's breakfast, but I've tried a few different things here and the food never disappoints. I've had the Crabby Benedict, the Sand Fiddler Special (eggs, meat, pancakes, toast, coffee), and one time I had a burger with beef, hash browns, eggs, cheese, and onions - loaded up and really good. The food always comes out hot, filling, and full of flavor. Even the pancakes, which at first looked like they might be the frozen kind, turned out to be homemade with little touches that let you know they care. The coffee's solid too - not that bitter Starbucks taste, just smooth and easy to drink. What I really enjoy is the cook in the back. Every time I come in, he's singing along with the music. He's got a nice voice and it sets a good vibe - not too loud, just happy. Having worked in restaurants myself, I know when the staff is enjoying themselves, it makes the whole place better. You can feel it in the food and the atmosphere. The café is clean, with artwork on the walls (for sale), plus bags and t-shirts since this area gets touristy in the summer. The waitresses are always kind and helpful - I even saw one go the extra mile helping a man who was having trouble get his food out to the car. That stuck with me. The guy at the register isn't the most smiley, but he does his job, no complaints. Overall, SandFiddler's is just a good, comfortable spot to eat. Not too loud, friendly people, and good food that fills you up. If you're in the area or don't mind a short drive, it's worth checking out.

Stopped by for a burger and a beer to drown in my solitude. Had great service. Prompt, attentive and genuine. Only downside was some pretentious guy named Jeff kept whining about the hostess and the service being "special needs" because he couldn't get his group prompt service under 15 minutes on a special holiday. If it wasn't for some derogative guy whining off the bell about how the service wasn't up to par every couple minutes I'd have enjoyed what would've been quite a depressing day for me. Other than that, burger was damn heavenly. Beer was cold and good. Service was grand. Some people just ruin it for others. Great spot, great burger, good beer and good folks. B.W.

The last time I set foot inside their Pleasure House Rd location was at least 10 years ago. I celebrated my birthday there as my friends were kind enough to take me out. It was a Sunday morning and I sought out a place that offered brunch. I noticed 1608 was open and decided to head over, especially since I haven't visited them in ages. When I walked in, I noticed their dining room is dimly lit - much darker than I remember. I was greeted immediately by a kind hostess and she proceeded to sit me at a nearby table and provided me with menus (one food, one alcohol). I took my time looking over the food menu, and in the meantime I ordered a pint of Center of the Universe's Bald Irishman and a bottle of Boylan's Black Cherry soda (they do not have a soda fountain). What made this visit memorable was that 1608's bartender, Hunter, was an old acquaintance from back in my restaurant days. He spotted me and came over to say hi. After my meal, I continued to catch up with him at the bar. His presence made a pleasant experience even more fantastic. I thought I was hungry, so I ordered 2 dishes - Smoked Ham Fried Rice and the Breakfast Burrito. According to Hunter, every item is made fresh in house. After biting into each, you could tell that's true. Both the fried rice and burrito were delicious and boasted lots of flavor. Although I prefer my fried rice a bit simpler (if you give me just garlic fried rice, I am SET), 1608's fried rice (veggies, garlic, soy, basmati rice, 2 runny eggs, smoked ham) had a lot going on, which made for a flavorful dish. I liked the rice and the burrito (Korean style fried chicken breast, scrambled eggs, cilantro lime, cheddar, pico de gallo) a lot. I didn't finish either because it was a lot of food (I really thought I was hungry, haha). But these leftovers turned into a fantastic dinner later on. 1608 looked clean and organized, although I thought it was a little too dark inside, at least for brunch service. That's not a dealbreaker since everything from the food to the service was as excellent as I remember. I hope to return soon with my mom. Regardless, I'll find my way back eventually. Thank you, 1608 Crafthouse! And great seeing you again, Hunter! JV
