Bowleys On The Bay

We visited Bowleys on The Bay today and enjoyed our food and company. Our server, Grace was wonderful and gave us some great food recommendations. I ordered the shrimp salad and was delicious. I am sure this establishment is busy during the summer season. Would love to go back when the weather is warmer.

This was a great experience. Service was friendly and able to assist with menu selections. The double crab cake with mashed potatoes and Brussels were delicious! The mashed potatoes were freshly made and very good. .Cauliflower appetizer was well cooked and miso sauce was delicious. They were deep-fried and reminded you of an Asian-flavored wing. The shrimp said had a deep flavor with a lot of Old Bay was the least like of dishes. It was good but different. The sweet potato fries were addictive. The banana bread pudding was serves with a whiskey & caramel saice and scoop of ice scream. It was very good. Not too dense. Great banana flavor. The atmosphere was beachy. We were in the main dining room with a large baby shower. They were kinda noisy. But overall it was a great experience! We will be back when they deck next to the water opens in the spring.

Amazing food and great service. The views are always gorgeous. Whether dining alone, intimate duo, or group outing ; this is a go to spot.

I always love coming to the Middle River area during the summer, because I love being on the water, and Bowley's on the Bay never disappoints. Stop in this evening with 5 other friends for a bite to eat. They had a special on orange crushes, $6 bucks till 8pm. We started with a plethora of apps for the table to share, the rockfish bites and the tempura cauliflower, also the maryland crab soup which isn't pictured was also delicious as well. For dinner, my friends ordered, the crab cake entree, shrimp po boy, tabbouleh summer salad, fish tacos and the poke bowl. There really wasn't a bad dish on the menu, everything was delicious. On Fridays through Sunday, they have live music with various bands. If the weather is really nice, I highly suggest to get there early so you can get a nice table outside to hear the band and be by the outside bar. Service was phenomenal. For large parties of 6 or more, they will add 18% gratuity, which is customary. If your in the Middle River area, make it your justice to stop in and grab some delicious food and have a cocktail or two, you won't be disappointed

This place is "in the cut", deep in middle river. Nice view of water and boats. Plenty of parking. Nice decor inside. Good size room for a big party if need be. You can also eat outside and enjoy the live band. I started off with the marina shrimp. There version of bang bang shrimp. Not too spicy which I would have liked more of a kick to the flavor but it was still flavorful. You get a nice size portion of 8 shrimp. My entree was the Philly cheesesteak. I knew something didn't look when my sandwich came out. I went to grab my sandwich and my thoughts were right. They used a hotdog bun instead of a sub roll! They don't even sell a hotdog on their menu! My taste buds was turned off. I didn't understand that. For a restaurant like this, I think that is something that shouldn't have been done. There's a difference between a sub roll and a hotdog bun. I hope they fix this soon.

I visited Bowleys twice. The first time, I was with a group on a Bachelorette party and had a great time. I ordered the Poke bowl, and it was so delicious. The service was great. We had a training server, and he did great he also had help. I also had the Creamsicle it was so good. I love the beach right beside the tables it's so calming. The second time, I ordered the breakfast nachos with eggs on the side. I wasn't a fan of it or the brunch menu. But our server was again wonderful. I will be back for the regular menu.

Amazing location and wonderful food. Service is always excellent. Live music is a nice addition

Came here for the first time yesterday and have only good things to say! I came here for dinner with coworkers, a group of 10, and we truly enjoyed ourselves. We had a great time and they were very accommodating. Despite our large party, we were able to be seated outside directly near the water and the beach. This is a stunning place during the warmer months, for a date, for dinner or just to see the beauty of Maryland! If you like sand, the beach, and being able to look at boats and see planes landing overhead and nearby, you will love this spot. I highly recommend! There is plenty of free parking and live music. If you are a large party there is automatic gratuity and they can only split the check 6 ways, so be mindful of that. Try to get a reservation beforehand! The food is what you can expect, lots of seafood options, with vegan/vegetarian options too! They have a drink menu and a wonderful dessert menu. I got the grilled pineapple for $27, and a brownie with a scoop of ice cream which was perfect for a hot day! We got the brussel sprouts and truffle french fries as appetizers for the table. Everything was absolutely delicious, I highly recommend the pineapple! You will not be disappointed in coming here, service was good as well. Our table was satisfied with their dishes. One last aside, crab cakes were $32 for one, $52 for two.

Very cool ambiance on the water! Nice and shaded so you don't roast but still get to enjoy the outside. Food was just okay and a bit overpriced. Reasonably priced drinks and a nice menu for that! It was a busy Saturday so maybe the food quality was not up to par because of that but would be willing to give it another shot.

I went there for a happy hour. The decor was really nice. I wish I would've come in the summertime. The drinks were great and decently priced. The staff was very nice. I ordered the Poké bowl with salmon. It was a very nice presentation and really flavorful. I felt like there should've been more rice and wasn't sure about how fresh the salmon was however, I am willing to go back and try something else.
