We are locals, we try to support the business owners in town. The view is gorgeous we dined on the deck. We were greeted and seated within minutes. This is important we have tried other establishments,and felt completely ignored like were were invisible. Our server Olivia is the best, she is professional and has a sweet personality, you feel welcome right away. We ordered the Yatch Club and the Cajun Mahi sandwiches, they were superb in presentation, quantity, and taste. Reasonably priced. The inside of the restaurant is well designed. Definitely will be back. Thank you, Carol and Dave read more

Great food, an amazing atmosphere, and outstanding staff made this a wonderful experience. The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back! read more

Very pleasantly surprised. Met up with a friend for a long-awaited girls reunion on a Sunday morning for brunch. It was a sticky, humid day, so we opted to sit in an enclosed patio with air conditioning. It was a good choice for us. We could have a good long convo, hear each other well, and not feel rushed (we did tip very well at the end, knowing we were seated a little longer than those who were just there for a meal. The miss: The crab bruscetta flatbread. Very very very small amount of crab - I'd describe as almost flakes of crab. Otherwise OK. The good: I thoroughly enjoyed my Monte Cristo breakfast sandwich. It was HUGE. Couldn't finish it and enjoyed the leftovers the next day. Great parking lot, easy to find, wonderful service. read more

Took my husband for lunch today for Father's Day and we had a great time. There was a 10-minute wait for tables and we sat outside on the patio. The patio seating is the best, the view is amazing. The patio sits on the Susquehanna river and the Amtrak crosses the bridge. I ordered a rum punch & my husband ordered a strawberry mule of which were really good. I ordered my usual steak salad and he ordered a Caesar wrap with jumbo shrimp. After all these years the steak salad taste the same as it did over 5 years ago. The steak is always medium well, lettuce, roasted corn and tomatoes are always fresh, and the dressing, I think they changed the dressing but it was still good. Service was awesome and prices are always affordable. Omg! I almost forgot the crab dip that is served with pretzel bread was good! read more

Got the eggs Delmarva with lump crab - so good! The crab meat was sweet and perfectly cooked. The potatoes had a crisp texture and was delicious with onion. Not pictured is the French toast which had a healthy plate of 6 slices. Bloody Mary and Mimosa: $5 each. Love it! The service was so lovely - got to sit on the patio with my dog and they offered her water. It's a beautiful place that's relaxing and quiet and great view of the water. read more

The vibe was peaceful with the outdoor seating as the visual draw. Looking out over the water was sublime. Then we noticed the massive group entering and second guessed our spontaneous decision on this Saturday afternoon. We forged ahead and secured two seats in the bar area. There was one person servicing this section and it was also PACKED. There we learned that reservations are only made for the indoor dining room and that the rest is first come, first served. We chose the bar because we were HUNGRY, haha and the wait would have been too long. Our food took a while, but our drinks were quick and refreshing. The food was good, we left no crumbs and relaxing on the Adirondack chairs after eating was superb! read more

The crab cakes were exceptional and delicious. Beautifully located on the water with outstanding views inside or outside on the patio. Our server had quite a few tables she was serving, but didn't miss a beat. Serving staff utilized great teamwork getting us out on time to get to our show at the Star Center. My favorite place to enjoy a meal in Havre de Grace Maryland. read more

Food was great. Service was very good and the staff are very friendly. I would deff. Recommend eating there.

We have been here a couple times mainly for brunch and before it was awesome but sadly today was not one of those days. We sat inside instead of out due to all the Mayflies. The food was not good just mediocre at best for the money. Had the mussels red for appetizer. Not flavorful at all, many mussels were closed and not safe to eat. We eat a lot of mussels red and these were not good, very watered down marinara. I had the crab cake sandwich and fries, my other half ordered off the brunch menu and had the carb Benedict. Now we had this before and it was fantastic he said not this time. Service was off I can't explain it. It dealt like no one was organized. Hostess was very friendly. Our waitress took roughly 10 minutes of being seated to even greet us or ask us about drinks. Then forgot to ask our kid what she wanted to drink. Food timing was good. It was not busy at all when we first got there. Brought our meals and no napkins took way too long to come and check on us. Just very off experience from the other times we have been there. Between the food and service not sure we will return. read more

Came in just for drinks since grabbed dinner in the area. Parking could be issue as this is tucked away off the street which makes for some terrific views and. Great space for outdoor seating. Sat in the bar. They do have a specialty cocktail menu. Ordered a Bulleit Sidecar and an extra dirty martini. They were made well and were both good. The place was busy and anyone sitting in the bar area at the high tops were told that there was no server and they had to order at the bar themselves. A little tricky when trying to order food and drinks while people sitting at the actual bar. I understand that it's hard to find help, but this would be a deterrent for patrons. The bartender was extremely helpful and friendly. She also knows how to make a great drink! They do add 4% on any bill that is paid with a debit or credit card. They do advertise an ATM on premise for cash option that won't include this fee. Not sure if the fee to use it would be less than the 4% they will add though. I am sure that they also make a percentage of the ATM fees. Just sharing so that you are aware. Overall, seems like a nice place if sitting in the restaurant area. Not sure about the food as we only grabbed a quick drinks. Did see some dishes come out, but nothing g that was attention grabbing. The views from the outside dining area were terrific. read more

I was visiting family who live nearby and we decided to have lunch here one day. Its been years since I have been here and it was a great experience. It was a warm day but we wanted to sit on the outside patio near the water. We had a nice table with an umbrella so we could have some shade. It was not too, too hot outside. Our waiter was attentive and answered our questions. I had the shrimp salad sandwich on a pretzel roll with a side of fries. I loved the shrimp salad. It was very tasty and a hearty portion. The pretzel roll had a good flavor but it was a bit chewy, maybe not fresh. Fries were crisp and tasty. The rest of the group had a yacht club, the burger and the spinach salad. Everyone enjoyed their meals. A great place. Good food, good view, good service. Overall a really nice experience. read more

The service was friendly but the restaurant was dirty. Some of the food was pretty good but the french fries and Housemade chips were burnt and cooked in old grease. I ordered the brussels sprouts and they were undercooked and cold. It's a local place for local taste. It's over priced and not worth the money. read more

My boyfriend and I came for dinner. It was so busy, hard to find parking. We waited over 40 minutes to be seated which was fine and expected on a nice day. They have crab is just about everything as people from Maryland love, but I am not too crazy about it. I wanted the shrimp and crab quesadilla without the crab, but was informed they mix it together in the morning and are unable to have it separate. The spicy cucumber jalapeño margarita wasn't my favorite, it was different but I was not crazy about it. My boyfriend had the chicken tenders but they were nothing to call home about. They had their outdoor tables and stuff but from the look of some of the condiments on the table, looks like they haven't been cleaned. read more

Wonderful view and service. Crystal was very attentive and personable. My mussels in the white wine sauce were delicious.

Food & service is excellent. Only place in town to eat water front. The best crab cake in town. All sandwiches come with their homemade potato chips. I wish they would stop making the them. I've been coming for years & can't seem to order anything but a crab cake. read more

The staff was very friendly and helpful, from the bus boys to the hostess, server, who was very attentive. Beautiful views, nice decor, and a very welcoming atmosphere. My date's salmon was excellent, I got the porterhouse, for the price, I expected a thicker cut and a little more char. The drinks were spot on. The sides were good and all in all we were happy with our meals. Might I suggest you go up the street and get your meats from Galvinell? It would be worth the price for the porterhouse then. read more

My 3rd time here and I pick it not for the food but for the location on the water. I came on the 4th of July in the middle of a heatwave so we settled for the inside. We met friends from Ohio and was hoping to show them a good Maryland seafood meal. The restaurant isn't really a seafood place. No raw bar, disappointing. Flies were an issue. Our server Michael was a champ, he was friendly, entertaining and attentive. Crab cakes weren't that big, actually to small for the bun. read more

Very nice view, friendly staff, food was good, drinks good and service was good. Not a foodie destination but a good place to meet and have a nice meal with good service. The bar is full and they have some unique drink choices. read more

Came here during an overnight to the area and was in the mood for seafood. Truthfully, there aren't many restaurant options in this town, but the food looked great. I was able to be seated on their outdoor, but enclosed patio. Just off the outside of the patio is a large grassy area, towards the water, with chairs, tables, etc. It was rainy when I went, but I could see how this would be an enjoyable area to pass time. I ordered the cream of crab soup and broiled seafood platter. The soup was flavorful, but the seafood platter was very bland. The scallops were cooked to perfection though. Service was ok. One of my sides was wrong, and it took awhile for my server to come and check on me. But I was generally ok with everything. read more

Slow service and the food was just OK. Jason and Crystal are awesome. The bar manager is very rude.

Overpriced , food was mid at best . Service was decent , bartender seemed to have an attitude after my order was messed up 2 times . Came in with just 3 of us , seemed upset I wanted my bill to be seperate . Don't waste your money here 45 min for a burger that was supposed to be med rare that was well done , the fries were actually cold . . The bartender recommended not getting the steak because it's hit or miss depending on who the cook is that day . 56 not including tip for a burger / fries and 2 beers . Fries cost more to add to the burger . If you're a yuppy that enjoys mid food that's overpriced this is the place for you. read more

I had lunch with a friend and sat outside this past Friday. Our waitress, Grace, was pleasant, efficient and helpful but, unfortunately, that is the only positive thing I can say about lunch. I had the shrimp salad open faced ($18) and a side caesar salad ($4.50). The portion was small and the shrimp looked as though they came from a can. They were very small and had a weird texture, not at all like the large, fresh, pink and flavorful shrimp I enjoyed here in the past. The orange crush was passable ($13), but not anything special. The side Caesar was just okay. I don't see returning here in the future even though it is close to home and on the water. I'm sorry to see that the Tidewater is just not up to par. read more

We had a lovely day and Crystal was amazing! would return again! five stars!!!!! She is our missing family member today. Happy birthday!!

Crystal was great. Her service to us was excellent. The view on the river was exceptional and the beautiful weather made it so enjoyable. Thus was a delightful experience. read more

Although it has been some time since our last visit, we've been here a few times. Arrived around 2:30 on a beautiful Monday afternoon so we opted to sit outside. About a 5 minute wait. Started with a Draft Loose Canon IPA-like this not too hoppy IPA. Ordered some appetizers to share -Crab Dip and Seafood Potatoes. Both were very good. Also ordered the Cobb Salad with Shrimp-also very good. Service was friendly and engaged but a little slow at times. Enjoyed the outdoor area and view of the Susquehanna. read more

Food! Ordered seafood platter. $38.00 The scallops tasted like ammonium. Crab cake was tiny. Salmon was full of butter and way overcook. My husband order shrimp salad so mayonnaisey. And the bread was stale. I ordered dessert a piece of cake with walnuts. I ate half and brought the rest home. Went to eat the next day and it was moldy! The coffee and hot chocolate was awful too! Like they microwaved the water. What a waste of money. We are there over the summer and it was not do good. But we thought it would be nice to lunch with a view of the water. Never again!!! read more

I had a mixed but overall enjoyable experience. The crispy Brussels sprouts were the biggest letdown -- overcooked to the point of being burnt, which made them bitter and hard to enjoy. That dish needs more attention in the kitchen. The rest of the meal was much better. The mussels were a highlight -- the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the mussels were plump and fresh. I also tried the crab bites from the happy hour menu -- absolutely delicious and surprisingly well done for a bar bite. The quesadilla was good too -- cheesy and flavorful, though a bit greasy from all the melted cheese. Not a complaint, just something to note if you're ordering. And I have to shout out the Manhattan -- so good I ended up having two. Perfectly balanced and smooth. Would definitely come back for the mussels, crab bites, and drinks -- just hoping they tighten up that sprout game. read more

Tidewater Grille - Easy Saturday brunch - Seafood Near Me - Havre de Grace, Maryland

Just finished an incredible meal at Tidewater and had to leave a review! We were able to secure a table for 12 last minute on a Monday night and from the moment we entered our waitress, Olivia, did everything she could to make our experience memorable. She treated our table with courtesy and patience (dining with 4 young kids) and did an exceptional job confirming safe food choices for our so. Who has severe food allergies. The food was INCREDIBLE-- crab cake was by far the best I have ever had and the mussels and steaks were delicious -- everything was prepared exactly as we asked and Olivia went above and beyond to check in on us and make this a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be back -- 10/10 read more

Review of Tidewater Grill - November 1 Visit After participating in the Suicide Prevention Walk in Havre de Grace on November 1, our group of walkers, volunteers, and organizers chose to visit Tidewater Grill. Unfortunately, our experience at the bar was disappointing, however, I should've known better when I saw who the bartender was. Based on prior visits, I've noticed that when she works (Abby the Bar Manager), many guests tend to avoid sitting at the bar -- and this visit confirmed why. She was unprofessional, and seemed uninterested in providing good service. We had to go to the bar ourselves to order drinks, and we were never offered menus. One member of our group, who uses a wheelchair, was also with us, which made the lack of attention even more frustrating. Once we moved to a table, the service improved dramatically with Kristen . She was attentive, the food was excellent, and we appreciated how well the dining staff treated us. On a past occassion, she was busy on her cellphone in the employees side instead of checking on her customers. It's unfortunate that inconsistent service from the bar manager has affected what could otherwise be a great experience. Hopefully, this feedback helps others know what to expect -- and helps the restaurant improve its bar service moving forward. We have been there several times and have had outstanding service by other bartenders. Our experience yesterday, was the finally straw with her. I've also met others at Tidewater who have stated they that they avoid the bar when she is working. Most of us only come when Jason is working on Monday's. read more

We've always had great service and food at Tidewater Grill. The views of the Susquehanna River can't be beat, whether seated inside or outside. read more

What a great place. Great atmosphere, very nice staff, nice outside eating, its always an hour wait but has a good bar for the wait. If going outside make sure your done before night fall as there is very limited lighting, I had to use my phone to read the menu and see my food. Not sure why the band was in the inside. Nice views of the river. Aps : the scallops bacon jelly was amazing, fish and chips great but french fries were bit soggy, mixed Clam soup (white and red) was fantastic, ahi tuna tasted great. Drinks - margaritas were nice, limited tap beer, mango mimito very nice. Sorry no pics, it was too dark! read more

the absolute best best best cream of crab soup and crabcakes. thank you for a wonderful dining experience

This is my second visit at Tide water grill, my first visit was average, my food wasn't impressive and I was seated inside, which idk if it is just me but has a moldy inside, provably the carpet. My second visit, which was with a group of coworkers (5 people), we stopped by for a quick lunch, in which we were seated outside by the water and it was great. Atmosphere: It was the perfect weather outside so sitting under an umbrella by the water was very refreshing, if you get the chance, I'd definitely recommend sitting outside. Food: I ordered the chicken/bacon melt, which came with a side of pickle and boardwalk fries. I was really pleased with my food, especially the fries were yummy. My coworker got the crab cake, I also tried it and it was decent. Coworkers also ordered the crab balls, and shrimp salad, which all got thumbs up from everyone. read more

Come for the views. Incredible waterside restaurant. Service was top notch too. I walked by 5 minutes before opening and they opened the doors early for me. Coffee was excellent too. Nice and strong. And refilled multiple times. I got the crab tot special and the tots were great with lots of crab. But the crab was chilled. If you are in Havre de Grave it is a nice place to recharge. read more

I ordered the crab and bruschetta flatbread. The flatbread was tough and chewy and there was literally one chunk of crab meat on each of the 6 pieces of flatbread. I did not see any basil in the bruschetta! The only good thing about our lunch was the waitress was very friendly and attentive to our requests. This restaurant needs updating!! The water view is great but thats about it! read more

The wait to be seated was long the wait for our food was a little longer. And that's because this place takes its time and makes your food right the first time. Everything tasted amazing and everyone working and eating was in a good mood. The restaurant was beautiful on the water and the town it's in is just so calm and chill. The only problem I had with this restaurant is the giant mess my kids left the place. Regardless I'll be back excited to eat more delicious food. read more

Best seafood I've ever had! Their tidewater tots chef special gave me a whole new view on crab. Could tell it was completely fresh there near the boardwalk! The seaside views were incredible, and our server, Caitlyn, was super friendly, aware, and helpful! Our table was accidentally cleaned up early, but they did an expert job helping us through that, and sent us home with extra drinks for the trouble! Highly recommend this place, definitely worth more than a 3 star review! read more
