Outstanding Experience at The Choptank – Thanks to Layla!

Last night my family and I dined at The Choptank in Baltimore, and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we were seated, Layla, our waitress, delivered beyond outstanding service. She didn’t just take care of our table—she elevated our entire evening.

Layla went above and beyond in every way. Her recommendations were spot-on, her energy was warm and genuine, and she made our dinner celebration truly unforgettable. It’s rare to have someone who is both knowledgeable and incredibly attentive, and Layla delivered all of that and more.

The food was phenomenal.
• Chilean Sea Bass – cooked to absolute perfection.
• Tom’s Oysters – delicious with the perfect touch of saltiness.
• Pan-Seared Catfish – tender, flavorful, and melted in your mouth.

While I’m not usually a big fan of their drink menu, Layla once again came through with amazing drink recommendations that made the night even more memorable.

Thank you, Layla, for an exceptional experience! I’ll definitely be returning—and I’ll be asking for you!

We had dinner here on January 22nd, getting in around 5:00 pm, and I honestly could not believe how quiet it was we were basically the only two people in the restaurant. That alone felt wild, because everything about this place deserved a packed house.

The bartender was fantastic friendly, attentive, and clearly knew her stuff. It was happy hour, so I ordered a peach tea crush and my friend got an orange crush. She even asked whether we wanted soda water or Sprite, which is such a small detail but something I’m never asked and it made the drinks even better. Both were absolutely delicious.

Now let’s talk food, because wow.

I ordered the half & half soup (half Maryland crab soup, half cream of crab), and it was hands-down the best crab soup I’ve ever had. I’m not exaggerating it was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. So good that we later came back for soup to go, and then also DoorDashed soup that night because we realized we were going to want more. That should tell you everything.

I also got the lobster roll with crab and bacon fries, and I’m still thinking about it. Unreal. My friend ordered the pan-seared rockfish with loaded mashed potatoes, and her meal was just as incredible. Everything came out fast, hot, and beautifully prepared.

The restaurant itself is gorgeous clean, comfortable, stylish, and welcoming. Every staff member we interacted with was helpful and kind, and the whole experience felt effortless.

Yes, prices are a little on the higher side but this is seafood, and nothing felt shocking or out of line for the quality you’re getting. Completely worth it.

What really blew my mind was that when we stopped back later, it still wasn’t busy maybe 10-20 people total, on a Thursday night in Fells Point. Absolutely baffling.

Bottom line:
This place is now a mandatory stop anytime I’m in Fells Point honestly, probably daily if I’m in the area. Incredible food, great drinks, beautiful space, and top-notch service.

If you’re skipping The Chop Tank, you’re doing it wrong.

After a going to Baltimore Arena Stage, decided to try.. What a bad tasting experience. First, Crab dip ..gives more of a mustard taste and not the normally crab dip taste with cream cheese. Calamari, my favorite appetizer but not here. I spit out one of the rings just to make sure what I was eating, it tasted like bad batter that stayed in oil grease too long. Next up Steamer for two complete with lots of refrozen food that tasted as such. snow crabs, clearly over seasoned with old bay to add poor taste. potatoes, clams that didn’t open and lots of onions and very dry mussels.. they really over steamed everything. So, it was not a good dinner at all.

We had a birthday celebration at Choptank with a party of about 15, and Tyler was outstanding. He handled our large group effortlessly, kept everything organized, and made sure everyone was taken care of the entire time. Food and drinks came out fast, everything was delicious, and his recommendations were spot on. Not a single complaint from the group, which says a lot with a party that size. Tyler’s attentiveness made the celebration feel really special. We’ll definitely be back.

As a lifelong Marylander this is the worse crab cake I’ve ever had. It was so much breading in it that I couldn’t stomach it. The price was around standard for a crab cake so I expected better quality. Additionally , the broccolini was super cold and caesar salad tasted sour. I brought this to our waitress attention and she was really nice but the manager refused to come out and speak with us. I won’t be coming back and there’s way better other places to eat , skip this place!

The food is not over seasoned. It’s perfect. I had the crab soup and crab cakes and loved them. Note, I hate crab. But the Bartender Kaila was very convincing in giving it a shot and I am glad I did. I felt safe and enjoyed my meal in peace. The Chilean sea bass was butter and Mac and cheese was SOOOOOOO CHEESEY! the perfect kind of cheesy!!! Come by, give it a try. You won’t regret it! Staff was incredibly kind!!!

The food is fresh and absolutely delicious, and the drinks are so yummy! Popped in after Krampuslauf and was genuinely delighted by how impressive everything turned out to be. Even though the dining room was full, the bar service was fantastic—warm, attentive, and just added to the whole experience. I’m so glad to have stopped in!

I recently went to The Choptank for a birthday celebration and had a really great experience overall. The atmosphere in Fells Point is always fun, and Choptank had a lively vibe that made it feel like a perfect place to celebrate. Live music is always a plus.

Our server Tyler was honestly one of the highlights of the night. He was super friendly, attentive without hovering, and made sure everything went smoothly. He really helped make the birthday feel special and memorable, which we appreciated a lot.

For food, we started with the oysters, which were fresh and really good. We also ordered the wagyu meatball, and those were probably my favorite super flavorful and cooked perfectly. The crab cakes were another standout, lots of crab and not too much filler, just how they should be.

Overall, it was a great night with good food, a fun atmosphere, and excellent service. Big shoutout to Tyler for making the experience even better. Definitely a spot I’d come back to, especially for another special occasion.

We tried several menu items, and everything was great. We got Maryland crab+cream of crab soup, which was excellent. We also got the tartare, calamari, and a dozen raw oysters. It was all delicious! I also loved the house margarita ❤️
