My wife and I split the crab dip, filet mignon with stuffed shrimp, and finished with the chocolate turtle cake. If you like crab, you'll really like the crab dip, it's all crab meat and a few spices with a moment of silence for the 'dip'. The filet was cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the stuffed shrimp, but my wife didn't. She got a small piece of cartilage in hers; I'm not as picky about that. The cake was excellent. Given that we were just a few miles outside of St. Michaels, it was a good price for a well-prepared meal. With two cocktails, the total came to $63 with taxes.

We got a recommendation to check out Chesapeake Landing from my boss who has a summer cottage near St. Michaels - "it's where the locals go!" he told us. We showed up around 7pm on a Saturday, and much to our surprise, we were easily sat immediately. Yippee! The restaurant definitely has sort of a 90s-ish feel with the decor. It somewhat reminded me of like a Luby's or something but it was clean and what not. We at least felt comfortable in shorts and tee shirts from being touristy and outdoors all day. Our waitress was really sweet and was there when we needed her but not around every 5 minutes. We started with a few drinks - I had the apple strawberry sangria and my fiance stuck to beer. The sangria was the only low point of the meal - it was just super sweet and not really my taste. I later switched to house wine. We ordered 30 medium crabs, macaroni and cheese, and fried green beans. The mac and cheese was delicious, definitely cafeteria style like the kind I grew up with, not the fancy gourmet kind we normally see in DC. I loved every bite, true comfort food. The green beans were delicious and crispy. Then came the real treat - the crabs. This was my first real time with eating crabs Maryland-style. Our table was covered in paper, then they brought us a bucket and this giant tray of steamed crabs. I had no idea what to do, but another server saw me staring confused at the tray, and she expertly showed me how to shell it. 30 crabs later, my fiance and I were happily stuffed. The bill was surprisingly low - we each had 2 drinks, split the large order of crabs, and two sides - all for $60, with tip! That's crazy for an excellent meal, a fun experience, and great service. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is passing through the area.

Stopped there for lunch one day and had a burger. It was cooked to my liking on their grill. My wife had a turkey wrap which she enjoyed as well. We stopped there before we left for home and bought some crab meat. They even asked if I wanted it packed in ice. Their take out seafood prices were fair for the area. When we got home that day we made some delicious crab cakes.
(4)Colleen B.
Oh it made me sad - especially since it's so close to home base. They were under-staffed and it took forever to get our food which wasn't the best (burger). I will go back and try again because it takes restaurants at least 3 months to get off their feet.
(2)Barbara S.
Next time I go, I will choose a simpler, "cleaner" dish that is just pure, fresh fish and seafood. I ordered the seafood stir fry and all the seafood (crab, shrimp and huge scallops) were great; the stir fry part really detracted from my enjoyment. One sister ordered fresh, seared tuna and it was perfect. Other sister ordered crab cakes and although it was really good, it was on the small side. Side orders of sweet potatoes, popular down here, were very good, as was the warm bread. Decor is all about nautical stuff on the wood-paneled walls, the wait staff was friendly and thorough, and there is a bar area, as well as a retail area when you first walk in so that you can purchase refrigerated and frozen seafood items. There are rockers and a picnic table on the outside, front porch, and also "loud" and large posters on the fencing along the parking area. Ignore this part, and go enjoy some simple and fresh seafood.

I have been going here with our family for years. Just had another great meal last night. The oyster buffet was packed with great items. Service was prompt and pleasant as usual. If your looking for where you can get good food and service at a fair price look no further.
(5)Emerson K.
Great crabs! Staff pretty good all around.
(4)Jeff W.
This is where the locals go for seafood, this place is the real deal, do yourself a favor and eat there right now!

Look, don't let the decor fool you. Yes it looks like a waterfront joint, but then again, look where you are, you are on a spit of land that is fundamentally surrounded by water, in a series of towns who are still heavily dependent on the work carried out by Watermen. The front is a seafood sales place and you can buy seafood there so all of the trendsters who are letting this be their driving criteria for a low score need to stick with Red Lobster. We had dinner there last night (3/14/15). The food was excellent. It was cooked properly and delivered in a timely fashion. There were a sizable number of people there but we were able to be seated with no problem. The apps were excellent and we ordered bacon wrapped scallops and a cup of crab bisque. The scallops were perfect and the bacon wrapping done right, not scorched crispy but not greasy soft and they had stayed wrapped on the scallops, no toothpicks. The bisque was bland, but at least it wasn't tainted with Old Bay. Also they serve you a basket that is a mix of break and cornbread, both of which were good. My wife ordered the lobster tail (she just wanted a lobster tail) and I had the surf and turf. Steak was cooked as I requested and had a nice sear on it. the lobster was cooked correctly as well. The wait staff were friendly and made sure we were topped off with regards to our drinks. And while there may very well be a eighties feel to the decor, it wasn't dirty. It was clean and organized and looked very much like a real shoreline restaurant instead of a place that bought a bunch of sea-themed chachkis like some chain restaurant. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the region. P.S. Today we went back and bought four lobster tails to take home with us. Fair prices there as well.

My wife and I went here on a recommendation from a local B&B owner. Upon walking in we were a bit concerned about the decor (80's) and bait shop look. I grew more concerned when out of all the places they could have seated us, we were seated in the back with families that had small children running around acting "cute". I was willing to tolerate the aforementioned issues as long as the food was good. My first indication of that was the inedible corn bread and stale rolls. Next, the specials were not special as they were already on the menu. The food was pretty good and the service was ok. The furniture was very uncomfortable. Maybe we were jaded by having a few good meals in town, but at least we know where we won't be spending our money.
(2)Tom K.
Don't expect any special from the vintage 80s decor or the mediocre service. It's all about the seafood. Fresh delicious and straight from the local waters. Can also take food to go from the seafood market. True favorite of locals.
(4)Rob S.
Crab people, crab people... 2 lbs of snow crab legs. 'nuff said. If you have a crab jones, but aren't up for all the work, the fried crab cake also gets the job done. They keep their beer mugs on ice, and they serve seconds in fresh frosted mugs, not the original, as it should be. Also every dinner plate comes with two sides. The Cole slaw is tasty, but one side of it is enough for two people. So depending on how many people you're eating with, you might want to collaborate on your side selections.
(4)Karen C.
Thirteen in our party, family vacation. Bro-in-law was lusting after every tray of steamed crabs that went by. My niece and I had crab imperial, excellent. Two had crab cakes, also good, chicken and seafood Alfredo were good according to the teens. Stuffed flounder and fried chicken ditto. Steamed shrimp a bit overcooked per my husband, but my sister enjoyed them. Everyone was full and happy.
(4)Cheryl L.
Seafood is good. Everything else is mediocre. Service is mediocre. Prices are sky high! They charge what I would expect of a trendy place in downtown DC. I honestly feel like they keep a "tourist menu" with prices a solid 75% higher than what they charge locals. I'm more than happy to spend $70 on dinner, but I have some high expectations for that price. They fell significantly short.
(1)Roberta R.
Three miles outside of St Michaels and worth it. The crab cake was pure crab meat, the soft shells broiled to perfection and the steamed crabs as fresh and tender as Big Al's used to cook up. This is not the typical tourist trap. It's honest good food served by a pleasant staff eager to please. If you venture out by bike from town, the shoulders are wide so you don't feel crowded. Just be sure to have a bike light front and back if you go at dusk.
(5)John O.
Located just 3.5 miles west of St Michaels. Ample parking. Friendly employees and helpful too. Great prices, GOOD FOOD, and good portions. Clean restaurant and rest rooms. Large seafood menu but also has other foods. (see additional tips)

This place should be on Kitchen Nightmares. It looks like a bait and tackle shop up front, and looks like a timewarp to the 80's in the back. My girlfriend asked what seafood was fresh and the waitress said "only the rockfish, oysters, and crab is fresh, everything else is frozen." What makes that worse is there are over 30 different types of seafood at this poor excuse of a restaurant. I ordered the crab cake sandwich (which by the way was canned crab, not fresh) and it was served with a side of tartar (which was mayonnaise only). My girlfriend ordered a 1/4 lb of shrimp and had to return it because it was so overcooked it was inedible. The salad had frozen, old cucumbers on it and the onion rings were soggy and tasted like vinegar. This place is truly awful in every aspect of a restaurant and its a shame because this island NEEDS some good food.
(1)Dimitri L.
By far the best seafood in Maryland, fresh, huge portions, well prepared and cheap! Wow did I love this place! I wish I lived close by. You know food is good when locals go there in crowds.
(5)Laurene D.
Passing through the area at lunch time. Food was delicious, portions were good and service was friendly. Will stop by again when I return to the area.
(4)Ruth R.
My husband and I went for a quick lunch yesterday,looking forward to it because they have a pretty good reputation, I thought. Well I was disappointed! I ordered a shrimp salad sandwich on rye bread. the shrimp were small to medium in size and basically it was in mayonnaise. If there was any old bay seasoning or any seasoning at all, I couldn't see or taste it. To top it off my bread was very stale. There was a limp wilted piece of kale on the plate for garnish. Oh, I almost forgot! the potato chips served with my sandwich were small pieces. Must have been from the bottom of the bag. My husband ordered one of the two specials, chili. He said it was good,But not great. It was served with a generous side of sour cream and a side of grated cheese. Service was OK, they were not busy.
(3)Cynthia D.
Ate hear our last night in St. Micheals this 4th of July weekend. Had wonderful food and the best waitress and services here out of all the places we ate in St. Micheal's. There is nothing fancy about this place, very old school but it was so good. Something about walking in to a seafood display you know it is going to be good fresh seafood. Great size food portions with great sides. Only down fall was a fly that kept bugging us but couldn't really do to much. Would go back in a minute for their seafood. This is the type of place that I always wish to find when I go South for vacation to the big vacation spots but you can never find. If you want high end, super fancy this is not the place for you. But if you want good food, good prices, good over experience this place is for you. It is literally about 5 minutes outside of downtown St. Micheal's.
(5)Matt M.
Epically bad. Honestly, we couldn't truly tell if it was the service, the kitchen or both. But all we know is it was a terrible experience - worst I've had in a long, long time. We tend not to post bad reviews, only good reviews for places we really enjoy. But this was bad; so bad I just felt compelled. I've lived in Maryland for many years, most of those years on the Eastern Shore, and I just don't know how a place with the reputation that this place has could so badly mess up seafood. Imitation lobster in the $30 pasta dish. Cream of crab soup that was as pasty and gross as they come - straight out of the Sysco can. Stuffed flounder that, if it wasn't for the mayonnaise that was the "crab imperial," it may have been the driest flounder I've ever had. Stewed tomatoes that were just bland. At least the onion rings and corn bread was good - gave us enough sustenance to make the drive home. And did I mention that we walked in at 4:30pm on Sunday afternoon and walked out at 6:45pm? There was only one other table (of 2!) when we sat down. Not kidding. Service was painfully slow and inept. As common of a place there is. And if you're from the lower shore, you know what I mean.
(1)Rachel A.
While spending the day in St. Michael's I asked around for a restaurant suggestion for crab legs. Chesapeake Landing I was told was the place to go, and boy am I glad we did. I got 2 lbs of crab legs and was in crab heaven. If I lived closer, I'd be a regular there. The service was a little slow and left something to be desired, but the food more than made up for it since it was so good. I had a baked potato and a salad as my two sides that came with the crab legs, and both were fair. The crab was definitely the star of the meal.
(5)Susan S.
Yes, the crab was excellent. But everything around the crab was slightly off. 1) inattentive staff. 2) a broccoli casserole that had no right to be called the vegetable of the day. 3) the oil they brought for oil and vinegar dressing was rancid. When I finally attracted the attention of the waitress to inform her, she said "that's weird. We refill those bottles every day." (They don't). But yes, the crab cakes were good, and the flounder stuffed with crab was good. The rest was an only slightly annoying distraction.
(3)Robbie M.
Great seafood.
(4)Carolina R.
We went there at the direction of a few locals who recommended it for seafood. We got as far as ordering appetizers because we were weary of the reviews. We got the bacon scallops and the crab pretzel. The scallops were overcooked and chewy. The pretzel was old, and chewy as well. The only good thing was the crabmeat which was unfortunately served with velveeta cheese. We had a glass of wine and a beer. The bill was $32 bucks. Would never got back again unless I was hangry and this was the only choice.
(2)Georgeann W.
Good was very average/ slightly below/overpriced! Waitress was very slow, Tables were sticky and who puts bacon on a spinach salad?husband shrimp were overcooked, corn bread is a very dry/oily corn cake. Sorry but I don't think it's worth it
