The Pier Restaurant (Solomons Island, MD)

"The best located restaurant in the area with breath taking views and plenty of parking. The menu is great and portions are generous. Service was solid and friendly, our food came out amazing and dessert and coffee closed the deal."

"First time at The Pier. I am gluten free so was impressed by the menu indicator showing which menu items are GF. I was also impressed by the number of GF options I had. The waitress was awesome - very patient with me as I asked questions about some of the menu options. Service was great and the food was very good. I had a steak topped with a crab in a blue cheese sauce with a glass of wine. My wife had fried shrimp, crab soup, and a glass of wine. Both meals came with 2 sides. The first picture is the view from our table, the second is the view when outside (e.g. leaving). Most of the seating indoors is by a window or you can sit outside in a glass enclosed area. We sat inside. I will definitely return and highly recommend both lunch and dinner at this restaurant."

"It was nice to sit out on the deck. Beautiful views but wish there were umbrellas available to block the sun. Nice seafood selection. Crab balls were tasty and the fried oysters had a nice flakey coating. I really thought the kale salad was a delicious side dish which complimented the fish. The kids really liked the potato skins. All the adults enjoyed the crab pretzel for an appetizer. The server was polite although our drinks were not refilled. It does seem to be the norm that service is very slow around this area. Possibly due staffing shortages."

"Nice table with water view. Service was okay. Some Appetizers were great. Scallops were delicious! Meals looked good but didn’t taste as good as they looked. Maryland crab soup had too much tomato paste. Not much crab meat or flavor. Salad could have been better. Tuna didn’t taste great. Crab BLT was good."

"Really good food and best Crab Cake I’ve had so far! Very fresh food. Our server was very attentive and he made sure we’re taken care of. First time trying this place and would be a spot to visit that I recommend. They have 3 diff sides view of outside. They have good dining area sitting that are family friendly, middle part (mix of both) and the very end part more bar area. Very spacious and good distance in between tables so better privacy. Only thing I didn’t like is how the women’s bathroom is awkwardly placed since there’s spacing in stalls that could face dining crowds when bathroom door is widely open. But if you’re looking for good seafood dinner this is the place to go without any questions."
