    Tiny $3 crabs
    Sandy B.

    Sadly this place has gone downhill. All of the same people work here and patron which is nice but they don't invest much into the establishment. duck tape holds some cracked tiles together in the lady's room. A huge hole in the base board.And the front door is semi shattered but still usable .Prior to noticing these things I ordered lemon pepper wings.They looked freezer burnt.I was told they looked like that because the grease was fresh.NO THANKS!..The crab night use to be my favorite night you would get big juicy crabs sold at $1 each..I paid $3 per crab & these don't even look regulation-sized. This is a no brainer for me it was fun while it lasted

    Wings! Only reason we go. Tuesday night, 25 cents, lots of sauces to choose, I recommend the standard hot wing and the honey mustard wings. Bar setting with tables around it. Pool tables in the back, juke box, looks like they get bands too. Could use a face lift, but hell, it's a bar in Essex, so you know that's not on the radar.

    Brewers Landing We love to go to Brewers Landing by boat. It…read moreis right on the water in Essex, Maryland and you are surrounded by nature on three sides. It is a casual, fun funky kind of place. There's plenty of car parking in the front and there are several jet, ski landing pads, and a pier with plenty of cleats for boat dockage. The draft (water depth) into and out of the cover is shallow outside of the channel so be certain to stay inside of the markers. We have gone there for brunch on Sunday mornings several times. The food is so good in the morning. Their breakfast menu has the full compliment of everything you might like for breakfast. We usually get omelettes and basically something similar to a grand slam breakfast. Breakfast is very fresh/cooked to order. Extremely reasonable prices for all of the food. Another thing we like to do is to visit Brewers Landing for the live music. It's usually pretty busy but we've never not been able to find a seat. Everyone is there listening to music, dancing and having a good time. You can get hot fresh steamed crabs or a pit beef sandwich like we did on the day that we went to see the band Experience. Their menu is extensive. The food is always very good. It's a casual, laid-back place, so it's not fine dining, but it's always good for an afternoon of fun. The staff is always friendly and it is always busy (the sign of a popular place with good food), but they hustle. Everything comes out as ordered in a relatively fast time. It's a great place to go if you love to watch sunsets on the water, too. Convenient to the 695 Beltway as well, you just get off at the Eastern Avenue exit and head towards Essex. We hope you can make it there some day.

    I will agree with most of the comments I have seen about the food. Everything that we have tried…read morehas been very good. The Chicken Parmesan sandwich I had last night was on point and my girlfriend had a very good chicken quesadilla as well. Prices are pretty reasonable. My only beef is with the service. The bar is a little "cliquey" from several observations. The regulars seem to get waited on immediately and a newcomer gets a "I'll be right with you". No placemats, no silverware, no napkins seems to be the norm. Had to ask for ketchup when my fries came out after getting chips by mistake. We will most likely go back though, especially since The Bird River Inn changed their whole menu and did away with most of our favorite menu items. Everything is smoked now and very salty. If you're looking for ambience, you may want to try somewhere else. The Dugout is a hole in the wall dive bar and has been for decades...just the way the regulars like it!

    We stopped by this bar after kayaking at Mariner State Park on a Monday evening. Dugout Tavern is…read moreout of the way from the rest of the busy streets, but it is worth stopping by. They have one pool table where APA league members usually play, a shuffle board, and a number of TVs for sports games (although they are not HD). I could tell this was a local go-to for many of the customers at this bar especially since they all seemed to know each other. Our bartender was very friendly with helping us decide what to order. We got the Belly Buster Fried Fish sub ($8.99), with a side of fries (an extra $2) and Italian Cold Cut ($9.50), with a side of chips (free), along with a Loose Cannon ($5.00) & Grapefruit Crush ($6.00). The subs were pretty good. The fried cod (I believe it was) was nice and crispy and the tartar sauce paired perfectly to cut the richness of the grease. The portion was definitely money's worth. The cold cuts in my sub were fresh. There was enough acid to not make the bread soggy. The grapefruit crush was very icy. I noticed the bartender made it by blending a grapefruit fruit cup with ice and some grapefruit-vodka. When I was done with my first drink, she poured the rest of the mixture from the blender into my glass, which I thought was very nice. All in all, dugout tavern is a hidden gem that has great food and service. There is also parking on site and outdoor seating.

After being seated, we waited quite a while before anyone came to our table. It was very loud in the restaurant. Thankfully, Marie eventually helped us, and she was very personable, attentive, and kind throughout the meal. We specifically came for jumbo crabs, so I was disappointed when we were told they only had mediums available. Marie assured us they had been very good despite the size, so we ordered a dozen. After another wait, she returned to tell us they only had smalls left. The crabs we received were tiny -- barely legal size, if even -- and almost completely empty. There was practically no meat in them at all. The manager came over, took seven of the crabs I had already opened back to the kitchen without explaining what she was doing or appoligizing, and later brought out seven replacement crabs that were still very small, though slightly better. What made the experience even worse was being charged $65 for crabs that honestly felt worth a fraction of that price. The quality was unacceptable, and the manager handled the situation poorly with no communication at all. Marie was the only bright spot in the entire experience. Sadly, after this experience, we will not be returning anytime soon.

I'm surprised by how large this restaurant is both inside and outside. There are lots of choices on the menu. My friend got a burger and said it was delicious. She's been here many times before. I got a bowl of Maryland crab soup, and it was really good and filling. I also got the Bay Bridge Wrap, which was big and heavy, and I took half of it home. The Bay Bridge Wrap had a huge crab cake and shrimp salad with lettuce and tomato, and it was so good and extremely filling. I opted to get it with fries instead of chips. Highly recommend. I was having trouble finishing even just the first half. It will make a really good lunch tomorrow! So many things to try there. I'm looking forward to going back. Bella, our server, was fantastic and kept checking in with us. She was quick to refill our water whenever we needed it. Highly recommend and looking forward to coming back soon.

We sat at the end of the bar and had to wait a few minutes to order. They don't have a beer menu, so you will have to eyeball the drafts as you come into the bar. The music was loud old-skool hip hop, which I love. There was also some great R&B. They have two pool tables constantly occupied by players who had brought their own queues. It was fun to watch. I ordered the chicken quesadilla, the husband ordered wings and french fries. The chicken quesadilla was delicious, served with salsa and sour cream. The wings were a little dry but the fries were great. I was going to give Freddie's 4 stars until I woke up the next morning and saw the 18% gratuity charged to my bill. I had not seen it and had tipped 20% so my server got a large unintended tip. I will not be coming back to Freddie's but at least now I know how they roll.
