In comparison to all restaurants on Solomon's Island - their crab bisque is out of this world - all pasta made fresh daily (Thank you Lori) and fish flown in fresh twice a week. A regular stop living in the area. Last Saturday - Shrimp and Lobster Florentine - clean, crisp and wonderful. Tip incredible view. See the photo of the Lasagna - it has a unique twist - shredded beef. I loved it - the creative modernization on a historic entree. To those who desire the mark 1, mod zero dish - might I suggest Olive Garden. Finally: Service at this place is consistently positive - a rarity it seems these days. read more

We were roaming around the pier. We were looking for a place to eat lunch. We saw the decor from the street. It seems to be new and trendy. We got a table inside. There is outside seating area where is facing a harbor. It is very nice view. I had a raspberry sangaria. It was very refreshing. Our kids had Mom's Mac and cheese. It was one of the best MAc and Cheese that I had. I love the Swiss cheese that was used with. Chicken fingers was also tender. I had blacken fish. I loved the seasoning. My husband had a fish taco that was so flavorful. The chef came by to say hi. She seems to be nice. I really enjoyed this place. read more

Time for an update on this Solomon's Island restaurant. My advice is don't go on a weekend. They're extremely crowded and don't take reservations until after 7 p.m. . The kitchen is very small and they just can't keep up with the crowds. Service we received on our latest visit was excellent. There were four of us and we had a mix of different entrees as well as the crab dip appetizer and the key lime pie dessert. Three of our party liked their entrees, which were the mahi-mahi, the fettuccine and the grouper. The coconut lemon chicken was a real disappointment and was just overwhelmed with a lemon juice taste. Most of the entrees are fairly pricey approaching the $30 range. The key lime pie was fairly sour and not something I would order again. One of the most disappointing parts of the evening was when I watched the bartender wipe off all the bar stools where large, sweaty people had just been sitting, and then use the same towel to wipe off the bar countertop. Gross. I'll never sit at that bar again. My rating scale is three stars for restaurants to which I would return, four stars for restaurants at which I would like to be a regular, and five stars for restaurants to which I would drive out of my way. Island hideaway is nothing special and due to the summertime tourist crowds it's just not worth dining there right now. read more

We are here from Arizona visiting our cousins who have a house in St. Leonard. We, of course, want to eat all the crab possible with the best views we can find, and this place fit the bill! Our waitress, Summer, gave us excellent recommendations, and took great care of us once we ordered everything she suggested. We ordered: Crab dip - um...yum. So delicious, and anytime there is more dip than there is of the thing you're dipping into it (pretzel bites in this case), I am IN. Crab cake sandwich - I didn't taste this, but my cousin said it had a great, slightly breaded outer shell that kept it together and kept the flavor inside. (He said the flavor was really great, BTW.) Seafood canneloni - wow. We got the combo sauce and it was SO GOOD. There was lots of plump shrimp and sweet crab inside too! Simply...GOOD! burger - this is a freaking awesome burger. Juicy and perfectly cooked, we got ours with gouda, bacon, and grilled onions. OMG. My cousin said it just might be his new favorite place in the area. We absolutely have plans to come back for dinner before we leave because I can't go back to Arizona without trying that crab cake. read more

Fantastic location by the water. Service was definitely slow, despite the restaurant not operating at full capacity. However, the atmosphere and the food was for the most part delightful. I would highly recommend the crab dip (probably the best I've ever had) and the lobster bisque. The freshly baked desserts were excellent as well. read more

Service incredibly slow. Watching the boats is nice, but not for a full hour while you wait for a sandwich. The throbbing techno music at lunch time was also a big fail. Food ok, but not enough to justify the rest of it. read more

Loveeeeeee this place and the crab cakes! Servers are friendly and the food is good. Right by the water , Nice views and good vibes for my 3x here . read more

The Island Hideaway - Crabcake - Seafood Near Me - Solomons, Maryland

Bottom Line: Excellent service, delicious homemade food and quaint views. Island Hideaway is a bit tucked away from the road as the name implies. This family owned restaurant is dedicated to a high level of service and quality food and it shows. My fiancée and I really enjoyed sitting on the dog-friendly patio and watching boats come and go. Our waiter was super attentive and out Saturday lunch was delicious. The cream of crab soup had lots of lump crabmeat, the crab cake sandwich was legit and the fish tacos were a bit spicy but loaded with large pieces of fish. Everything tastes like it was made from scratch and a lot of effort and thought was put into the menu. read more

Freshly made pasta is so delicious! The Alfredo sauce and Red sauce is very good! The best part is they allow you to mix it together. Everything I have had is delicious. I enjoy them in the winter but the ambiance in the summer sitting out on the back deck is extremely relaxing! read more

Small but decent eatery. Cold inside as it was cold outside. My table (the only one available as others were reserved) was in the path of the draft every time the door was opened. I was with 4 other people. We all enjoyed our meals, but they were on the smaller side compared to where we ate the night before. Sadly, what I wanted (rockfish) only came one way, no modifications, as all of the fish was already prepped the way I didn't want it, as the preparation included bacon and its grease/fat. While it was okay, I would not return because the establishment and its family ownership is proud, as one of them told me that about half of each dish includes bacon. I don't want bacon and fish. It defeats my attempts to eat healthy. read more

I'll start by saying the location is beautiful and I really wanted to love the place. I got there a little after 8pm party of one cause I was on a work trip. I ask the hostess if I can get a table outside. (Half the tables empty) she's tells me they are for reservations and all booked and I could only sit at the bar. About 15 or so min later a couple come and sit at the bar order drinks than as the hostess comes over the couple acknowledged the hostess by name and asked if they could sit outside. Hostess says sure right this way????? Food was good but I felt as if the place accommodated more to locals than anyone out of town. So if your local and know the staff have a great time you'll love it!! But if not Local I'd say try another place! read more

Tasty, nice view, theres isn't enough parking even when the restaurant isnt full. I have alpha-gal syndrome now and am very limited on what i can eat. Would be nice just one vegan dish on the menu. read more

Food was amazing! The fries are perfect! The crab dip was so warm and the pretzel logs were fresh! Everything is house made! The pasta OMG yummm!! Our waiters was super nice! Loved our first time! read more

I started out really loving this place but the last couple times I visited either the food or service was not as good. Recently we visited The Hideaway and we sat next to the very loudest table I either of us had ever encountered in my entire life. It was impossible to carry on a conversation or hear the server because of the volume of the people sitting nearby. I mentioned it to the waitress and she said "we'll you should hear how loud it is in the other room." I guess that was her way of avoiding the situation. and it wasn't loud in the other room! While I understand that the staff can't control the customers totally, these folks ruined a few people's dinners. It might have been nice for the manager to ask the rude customers to tone it down slightly. Also the serving I ordered was listed with entrees (but it was probably just an appetizer) and it was not much food for the price. I left still hungry but feel I paid to be full! I would even hope the staff would offer a free glass of wine or discount. No! We could not leave fast enough. Nope, no desert, thank you! I left with a knot in my stomach and will not return for a while. Very unpleasant experience. We laughed because we had thought about making a tuna sandwich and eating on the deck....it would have been much more pleasant than driving somewhere to leave with a know in the stomach! read more

Amazing food and service. Love the waterfront environment. They have great basic food like burgers and sandwiches. Also great pasta and entrees. Loved the Salmon. Definably check out if you are on the island. read more

The food here was excellent, the service spot on and the outdoor seating was lovely. Highly recommend the crab dip - great pretzel rolls - and the fish of the day was cooked perfectly. read more

Serve was excellent. My husband said food was best on all Solomon's Island. We had the stuffed cannelloni with crab meat and shrimp. read more

My wife and I stopped for lunch and were greeted by a friendly host. The place has about 12-15 tables, and about 7 of them were occupied. The ambiance was excellent as we had lovely views of the water. I had the Hideaway Burger; it was juicy and flavorful. It came with their delicious skinny fries. My wife had the Crispy Cornflake Chicken Strips, and she loved them. I will defiantly be back enjoy other items on the menu. read more

Returned to the Hideaway after a previous visit a year or so ago, and was just as we remembered, excellent! Very accommodating staff, excellent service, fantastic location, with incredible food. Seafood cannelloni and lobster risotto were both outstanding!!! Island hideaway gets 5 stars all day! read more

Been here two times, great ambiance as well as great service. Would recommend to anyone who wants good seafood as well as a first date option. read more

Great view and decent food. There's a pretty long wait especially with the limited seating capacity due to the pandemic. But I would definitely recommend the crab dip with pretzels. as most other reviewers have said, the meal was a little on the expensive side. read more

Wonderful restaurant to visit. Great food and drink. Beautiful scenery. The service is friendly.

Excellent Food, Drink, & View - But.... Don't be expected to be treated well if you come in solo.. Been here a few months ago with my husband & a friend & had excellent treatment, table with water view, and excellent food & drink - the latter same as today. Treating myself on a 'Me-Day" to a very excellent bowl of cream of crab (best in the area & I have tried them all) & same for the orange crush - perfect! However, coming in at 230 in the afternoon, an unseasonably beautiful November day, was hoping to sit outside - where there was more than adequate seating - even for COVID. However, as I was alone - I could not sit outside, nor could I sit at a window table, but instead could choose a stand-alone table in the middle of the dining room - or the bar. Please keep in mind that there was only two other guests - at a window table - inside the restaurant. What's more - I witnessed another solo customer come in & leave because she faces the same options. Now again the food is great - the server very nice - and I will tip very nice as is my nature.. however I will think twice before coming again to Island Hideaway & typically I have a much larger crowd than a single person. My advice - make everyone feel welcome & that they want to come back. Absolutely no improvement needed on food or drink at your lovely restaurant. You do have a lot of competition on the Island though, at which I know solo guests gave much better seating choices - I hope you improve your restrictions, because otherwise you are one of the best here. read more

Great food and the service is friendly. Go here on a nice weather day and enjoy a beer on their back patio.

Ate dinner here for the first time and will definitely be going back. Waitress was amazing and the food was also. The crab dip was the best I've ever had. We also had the Island hideaway taco's (mahi mahi) and the soft crab BLT which were both cooked to perfection. Only negative I saw was the hostess wouldn't stay off her phone long enough to pay attention. read more

Fish tacos were delicious! I really enjoyed the ambiance, and the wait staff was attentive. Perfect dinner.

this place was a hidden gem. I was expecting the place to have great views and decent food like most waterfront restaurant. But in addition to a great view the food was fantastic as well. Everything we had was wonderful even the fries! The staff was great and patient with our group of kids. Will definitely come back next time we visit the area! read more

The island hideaway continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in SoMD. We come here about once a week, and sometimes more often in the summer as we spend as much time as possible on our boat as they have a pier and are boat accessible. My favorite drink is the French martini but the casa migos margarita and espresso martinis are great as well. The drinks in general are well balanced. For entrees, my husband and I usually get the hideaway tacos or the crabcake. However, they have a lot of great specials throughout the year so we will sometimes deviate from our normal choices. They have a pumpkin ravioli in the fall that I love, so much so I went twice the last time they had it as a weekly special. Earlier in the year they had a Beef Wellington special that my husband still talks about. He is patiently waiting for New Year's week when they have it as a special again. The servers and bartenders are all very friendly. It's a small restaurant that fills up quickly so I recommend making a reservation. read more

Food was excellent. I had salmon. Service was excellent, as was ambiance. Always a great experience.

Always great food and service. Highly recommend. Great dessert too. We go here every time we are in town.

First visit and it greatly exceeded our expectations. Selected entrees from the specials for the day, Chicken Cordon Bleu and Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein. Both were superbly prepared! The cream of crab soup was also very good, as was the Crab Dip and Soft Pretzel appetizer. Service was excellent! read more

Disappointed on my recent visit. Crab cake was overworked and breaded..yuck! And I'm not sure how u make rice dry, but it was.

Service was quick. The ranch fries were the star of the show! I had the meatloaf. I was on the fence about the thick red sauce but tried it and it was so good! read more

Food: very good and lots of options! Service: majority of staff pleasant (one older woman at front desk was always unnecessarily curt even to simplest/ordinary tourist questions/concerns) -- remaining front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful!! Ambiance: extremely surprised with resort layout and amount of pools and fun free pool gaming options (ping pong, connect four, pool noodles etc.). Rooms very clean, cleaning staff is wonderful, and nice and quiet lodging come night fall and early morning! Only suggestion "don't turn music off around pool so early in the evening" pool stays open until dusk music turned off couple hours before. Resort near EVERYTHING someone would want to do at Hilton Head Island! Highly recommend read more

Great price Great food Great vibe Great Drinks Pet and kid friendly A little disappointing that the menu doesn't change much with the seasons. Would like to see more rotating items aside from the daily specials offered .. read more

If you're looking for the worst margarita of your life, look no further! The food is not up to the level of other restaurants on the island. Very disappointing. read more

Good food and atmosphere but not happy with the undisclosed up charges for lettuce and tomato and cheese on a $15 burger. Service was great until our server had to step in and be the bartender. read more

Food was delicious, I had the salmon burger special and it was amazing! Grace was our server and she was so kind and attentive, really a great experience! read more

Had a delicious meal here over the weekend. Service was excellent our waitress was attentive and went over items on the menu offering up some great suggestions. Food portions were large & the quality was great. Was impressed to hear all Pasta & Desserts are made from scratch in house daily. Everything we had was delicious and we will be back. On a side note they have the best orange crush I have ever had. Made with freshly squeezed juice. It's amazing. read more
