Restaurants

Whatever cuisine you crave, you’ll enjoy delicious dining on the Chesapeake Bay when you stay with us! We offer two restaurant options and an outdoor café right here at the resort, each guaranteed to make your mouth water. Maybe tonight, you’re planning a romantic candlelight dinner in our waterfront restaurant, the Rod 'N' Reel. Or you might be in the mood for "fall-off-the-bone" ribs or a well-stacked pulled pork sandwich at Smokey Joe's Grill. At the Boardwalk Café, savor soft breezes, cold drinks and local favorites. Great food and southern Maryland hospitality — in a casual waterfront environment.

We specialize in fresh seafood at the Rod 'N' Reel. Here you'll enjoy the finest fresh fish available in southern Maryland, our specially seasoned jumbo lump crab cakes broiled to perfection, or a mouth-watering crab imperial made from our secret recipe. Make Your Reservations On-line Now.

For fresh lobster, pick your own straight from our Lobster tank. Or maybe you want a sizzling steak — only USDA! Our steaks are cooked on our custom broiler to seal in all the wonderful juices, yet leaving a crisp, chargrilled texture on the outside.

We offer elegant banquet service in any of our 3 waterfront banquet rooms and waterfront weddings on the beach.

The Rod 'N' Reel Restaurant has been owned and operated by the same family for three generations. The restaurant is open daily year-round, with the exception of Christmas Day. Our most popular days are Sundays for our Breakfast Buffet.
