Loved the atmosphere. Expect to put down at least $30 which was worth it. Fried Chesapeake Oysters with the dent corn hominy was excellent. I wish I did not have to share this appetizer. The Block Island Scallops over the Narragansett succotash was perfect. The scallops nicely seared, and the succotash was excellent and did well with the scallops. The Eastern Shore Crab Cake was large and perfect. Nicely prepared. The zucchini that came with it was also done well and not overly seasoned. The potato salad was a surprise. Not expecting much, it was one of my favorites, and I wish I could have a plate full of it to chow down. Make it a day and visit this establishment and enjoy the day. When I am Baltimore again, I'll consider stopping by for a nice meal.

Today I was taking my dad around and he wanted to stop here for a late lunch or early dinner. He had a craving for some oysters. Unfortunately they did not have any oysters in stock. We still decided to stay and dine in though. The restaurant area isn't very large. After coming in we seated ourselves. Within a few minutes a waitress came over and took our drink orders. We also ordered cups of cream of crab soup as an appetizer. For our main courses I had the 6.5 oz crab cake platter and my father went with the 4 oz crab cake platter. You get two sides included. I ordered the onion rings and mixed vegetables while my dad went with onion rings and cole slaw. The crab cakes were good. Had a good flavor and not full of filler. The cream of crab soup was also delicious. Had me craving more. Plenty of lump crab meat in it. A bowl would probably fill me up as a meal. The onion rings were nice and crispy just like I like them. Mixed vegetables were nothing special. Just steamed veggies with not seasoning. Service was fast and friendly. Everyone was so very nice and made it a comfortable visit. I will definitely be back and so happy my father wanted to stop in this day.

Unfortunately, the overall quality of the food was very disappointing. The soft-shell crabs did not appear to be fully cooked, which was particularly concerning. The macaroni salad was bland and lacked flavor. I am also unsure what type of fish was served on the platter, but it did not appear to be lake trout. The fish was heavily breaded and very dry. The coleslaw was also extremely disappointing. Several hours after consuming the food, I became nauseous and developed a headache. While I have ordered from Captain Dan's in the past and previously had a different experience, this visit was very disappointing. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Captain Dan's and would encourage the restaurant to take a closer look at the quality, preparation, and accuracy of the food being served.

Great classic diner vibe. First and foremost the service was incredible. Kendra was our server. She was very attentive and super friendly. She constantly checked in on us and was just a delight.

The fries were good. The sandwich was really tasty! Chicken seasoned to perfection and with the bacon, avocado, and cheese it was the perfect balance of flavors working together. The bread was buttery and toasted. Delicious. We were traveling and stopped here. There is a 6% county tax on tour tab called 'restaurant tax' which is in addition to the other taxes. Just FYI. Overall a great place to grab some amazing food with pretty fabulous service. Would go again!

We were not disappointed at all, plus we were happily surprised over the unexpected value our experience represented. The crabs were more than fairly priced ($110 per dozen of heavy-for-their-size "large" crabs, served hot and fresh with very little water. These crabs certainty were local, steamed (not boiled) and fresh. The seasoning seemed perhaps a proprietary J&O blend and was adequately salty and spicy but (happily) less overpowering than Old Bay might be. The remainder of the menu, which we perused but avoided this time, would have been at home at a Chesapeake waterfront venue - all of the predictable shellfish-based traditional choices were here. Service was more than adequate; the super-cheerful Kelsey took good care of us and we took care of her (nearly a 25% tip). All told, including a draft beer for each of us and a shared slice of Smith Island Cake (a Maryland delicacy pretty hard to find), we dropped $157. Money well spent. Visit Emmert's for a messy ding hall trayful pile of Maryland summer delight. You won't be disappointed!

Menus and drink orders were brought promptly. I chose the fish tacos, and our server - Casey - asked if I wanted the fish pan seared or blackened. We had a discussion over how many chips and salsa were served with it, because my friend wanted some with his veggie burger. We learned that the amount with an entrée is just right - about two handfuls - so we each had some, with my friend's being a substitution for fries. I almost can't find the words to describe those tacos! The fish was moist, perfectly seasoned and generously heaped in each taco. Often, tacos lean heavily on the veg elements but these had just the right amount of slaw. The flavor of the fish was so delicate and savory. Honestly, one taco was all I could manage. Although they were street taco sized, it was so filling. I only ate a handful of chips; they were good but nothing special, as was the tiny cup of salsa. My friend said his veggie burger was excellent, and he enjoyed the bit of chips and salsa as well. He just had water, while I tried a Corona NA. The bill was around $56, which is very reasonable. There's plenty of free parking in the shopping center. Great service, good prices, excellent food - I'll go back!

Monday is lobster night, and my partner is a big lobster fan. The lobster here (I'm told) was excellent and the restaurant provided the right tools to get all the lobster meat. The sides my partner got - mashed potatoes and spinach - both were good. The potatoes were "real" and the spinach very garlicky. I got the grilled fish - hake. It was well prepared and my two sides, rice and slaw, were both very good. I wouldn't say better than at other seafood restaurants, but good. We started with a bowl of Maryland crab soup, which had a nice broth (very Old Bay-y) and chunks of crab. Tasty soup. The service was good with food brought promptly and good water service. We drink a lot of water and the server came over multiple times to refill our glasses. The restaurant is very nice inside, bright with a nautical theme. The bar was very popular during happy hour and the restaurant looks popular with couples and families. One big disappointment was that we were not offered and didn't receive the complimentary muffins. (They are buttermilk cheese muffins with citrus honey butter.) I later saw on Yelp people praising the muffins and the pictures looked great. I assumed they had discontinued them because I didn't see them at any tables. I did reach out to the owner afterward by email and he told me that they still routinely offer the muffins for the table and that this must have been a "lacking in my server training steps." So, please - if you are not offered the muffins (which look fantastic and I hear from others on Yelp that they are), please ask for them. I'm going to deduct a point for the muffin issue. Honestly, I spent $100 for dinner for two with tip and feel like a person should get the full restaurant experience. I'm a big fan of specialty breads and have been to other restaurants where they put a nice basket of bread on the table. I really feel disappointed by this experience.
