Reviews
This was my first time at The Jetty Dock Bar, and it definitely won’t be my last! We arrived by boat, which made the whole experience even better — super easy docking and such a fun way to start the day.
The atmosphere was fantastic — laid-back, lively, and full of good energy. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the live music added the perfect touch.
And I have to say, the crab cakes were absolutely outstanding — and HUGE! You can tell they’re made with real, fresh crab. Easily some of the best I’ve ever had anywhere.
Between the great food, the waterfront views, and the relaxed dockside vibe, The Jetty Dock Bar made an incredible first impression. Can’t wait to come back!
Loved the bright green colors and the smooth expansive decks the most.
It may have just been an off day, but we would still stop by again when passing through. Absolutely love that it’s pet friendly so we don’t have to get fast food when traveling with our dogs.
Eating on the dock was awesome and we got visited by some wildlife while enjoying our meals.
Unfortunately, it quickly went downhill. Dinner was served with plastic wares, which was surprising—especially for a steak dinner. After struggling to cut through my steak with a flimsy plastic knife, I had to flag down the waitress just to get a proper steak knife.
The steak itself was disappointing. The seasoning was uneven—barely any on some parts, and overwhelmingly clumped on others.
To make matters worse, the water view we were looking forward to was constantly blocked by boats docking right next to our table. At one point, someone assisting with docking kept bumping into our table, and the restaurant made no effort to address it.
Between the poor food experience, lack of consideration for guests, and constant disruptions, it seems this is just “the norm” here. I’m never coming back.
Location: Kent Island
Captain: Ben “FullBurn” Woodard
Date of pillage: Present day, with hunger roaring like a nor’easter
The Crab Soup – 5/5 doubloons
Half-and-half like a seasoned sea shanty…rich, deep, and hittin’ every note. This bowl didn’t just warm the bones, it summoned old bay ghosts from the Chesapeake to whisper, “This be top three in Maryland, lad.” Cream met tomato like star-crossed lovers. If I had a second bowl, I’d have married it.
The Crab Cake Sandwich – 2.75/5 barnacles
They claim it be the “best crab cake on the Eastern Shore,” but methinks someone drank too much grog when they wrote that. Maybe best on this side of the Jetty pier, sure, but this buccaneer’s tasted finer treasure in Ocean City and better bounty in Naptown without even breakin’ a sweat.
Too sweet by a mile. Filler ratio sailed dangerously close to Land o’ Betrayal. Texture soft as a deckhand’s handshake. Would’ve been better broiled, but no one offered, strike one. Lettuce limp, tomato tired. The bun held its ground, but even a sturdy hull can’t save a leaky ship.
Atmosphere & Service – 4.75/5 cannonballs
Views off the port bow were solid. Service from the wenches swift and kind (aye, we say it with respect in this ship). Cold drink, quick soup drop, and no sign of mutiny. Ambience was casual dockside grit, good spot for washing off a long sail, but maybe not for crownin’ any culinary kings.
Final Verdict:
“If ye come for the views and brew, drop anchor. If ye come for the cake, raise sails and chart a new course.”
– Captain FullBurn, signing off from The Jetty, where the crab’s sweet, but the truth cuts salty. ️
“Tell the galley to turn down the sugar and toss that filler overboard.”
The food is delicious, and the drinks are good.
Staff are very kind.
Beautiful water views with lovely ducks to look at.
And many boats are passing by.
What an awesome restaurant bar!!! We will be back.
