Bridges Restaurant

As you can see from my many prior reviews this is one of my best places to stop for lunch when I visit my family in Virginia. I was here twice for lunch with my family of three in December before and after Christmas. I will summarize both lunches here. My first visit was on Saturday at 11:45 am prior to Christmas. We were seated at a nice table on the glass panels overlooking the narrows. I started with my sugar plum martini for $11. I also enjoyed my usual tuna sashimi for $19.50. I ended my lunch with my usual draft Devil's Backbone for $6.50. My total bill was $101 excluding gratuity. Grant R. served us very well. I returned here again on the Sunday after Christmas at 2 pm. This time the place was packed with customers, therefore we could not sit on a table on the glass panels but we did have a table one table away from the glass panels. This time I started with my bourbon smash for $12. I again enjoyed my tuna sashimi for $19.50. My tuna sashimi tasted great both times. I again ended my lunch with my draft Devil's Backbone for $6.50. My total bill was $82 excluding gratuity. Savannah B. served us very well. We agreed we will continue to return here again for lunch. See my many pics.

Bridges restaurant continues to deliver high quality food in a great atmosphere and with great service.My spouse and I went there again last night and we were - yet again - impressed all around.My spouse started with the cream of crab soup. Velvety broth without a hint of flour flavor. The soup coated the front and back of the spoon. There was an insane amount of crab in that soup. I had the Maryland (vegetable) crab soup and I wish I had gotten the large bowl rather than the small cup. It was more like stew, thick with fresh crunchy veggies and loads of crab! The hint of heat was perfect as was the entire cup of soup.My spouse had the crab cake meal which was very good. I had the rockfish and it was crazy good - a HUGE piece of rockfish, perfectly cooked. So moist and simply seasoned with salt and pepper. So delicious! The fish sat on a bed of asparagus which was a little over-cooked and mushy. Then, all of that was on top of plain rice with some sort of light Cajun sauce that flavored the entire meal just enough. I ate up every piece of food (even the mushy asparagus)!Our server, Myana, always had a big smile on her face even though she seemed to be over-worked with loads of tables. She was friendly and competent. Her service was perfect!All in all, another great meal at Bridges restaurant. I continue to recommend this great casual place!!!

This restaurant is perfectly located between DC and the Delaware/Maryland shores. During the summer, the outdoor dining area offers a beautiful waterfront view. We recently visited during the holidays. The indoor dining room was beautifully decorated.My granddaughter loves the Island fries. Usually I don't order fries because not many places can do it well. But the Bridges Island fries are well-seasoned and served with flavorful dipping sauces. Even the fries that came with the Bridges smash burgers were really nicely done. The salads were very fresh.This restaurant ranks among my granddaughter's top favorites, which means the review starts with a 5 star. Add to that the delicious food, warm hospitality, excellent service, and reasonable pricing, it's clear that the 5-star rating is well deserved.

This is a very fancy restaurant in a very picturesque setting, that we felt we needed to try for a patio lunch when we first arrived in Kent Narrows. Husband had a blackened chicken Caesar salad and I had a crab cake sandwich (minus the bun) with a side of white rice. The salad was good, the crab cake was mostly crab. I had to ask for cocktail sauce, which is my preference over tartar sauce with crab cakes. It took a long time. Our server was fine dining formal, but not pretentious. This is not a bargain restaurant, nor is the quality stupendous but you can't beat the setting!

Beautiful views. Great service. Delicious food.Love coming here when I am on Kent Island. I take my family out here often. Never disappoints.If you want the burger you have to come during lunch time as it is not part of the dinner menu. My mom loves the burger. But the pizza is even better.

Amazing, food, service and views at Bridges! We've visited twice now and have been more than pleased with our experience. They have ample outdoor seating with beautiful views of the water. We loved the firecracker shrimp appetizer! The grilled rockfish is delicious! Highly recommend.

Excellent meal at Bridges! Highly recommend the fries and crab dip for starters, and the salmon, crab cakes, and scallops for entrees. The crab was so fresh and the crab cakes were full of meat - no fillers. They have a great back patio overlooking the Bay so we got a perfect view of the sunset. The service was a little slow but they were busy and we were in no rush. Definitely recommend Bridges as one of the better restaurants along the Bay in that area!

I first "discovered" Bridges early last year in 2023 when my mom, sister and I were driving home from a morning outing in Chestertown, MD. It was my mom's birthday, and instead of going to our usual old haunts in Grasonville, she opted to try a new place. Boy, I'm glad she did!Do yourself a favor and order the Bruschetta Roma appetizer. Order the whole instead of the half. You'll thank me later. You won't have to fight people at your table for the last piece because there will be plenty to go around. It's that good! The tomatoes are fresh, the bread is crispy and crunchy, and the pesto, balsamic and cheese all together make for a beautiful mouth combo. Both my sister and mom opted for the Halibut sandwich special. The bread was soft, the halibut was delicious and had a light fried coating. The side salad portions were generous. I usually opt for the sandwiches when I come here: Turkey or Turkey Reuben. The one sandwich I didn't particularly care for was the Black Forest Ham sandwich. It tasted fine, but there really wasn't much ham or cheese and I ate the whole thing in just a few bites. I am not a crinkle fry girl, but I love theirs. They double fry them so they get extra crispy. If you can't hear your fry crunch when you bite into it, what's the point? The crab dip appetizer is a hit as well. It comes with mini naan dippers. My niece loved the fish tacos. The pieces of fish were thick and juicy. My dad enjoys the stuffed shrimp with mashed potatoes and green beans. They have cream of crab and vegetable crab soup and will mix them together if you ask. That's one of my sister's favorites. The Firecracker shrimp appetizer is great also. It has just enough of a kick for those who like heat, but won't cause a 4 alarm fire in your mouth. The Surf N Turf tacos were a big hit with our table. The nachos were fried wontons (genius) and the toppings were plentiful.Don't forget dessert! We usually opt to take our desserts home because we're stuffed by the time we finish our meal to the point where we feel like we have to be rolled out of the restaurant. My one complaint (if you can even call it that) is a majority of the desserts include ice cream, which obviously will not travel well. They offer a blondie, chocolate cake, cheesecake, creme brûlée, seasonal sorbet, bread pudding, cobbler, and more. They also offer dessert cocktails and cordials for those who prefer their desserts in liquid form.There is plenty of seating inside and out of the restaurant. If you need to have a party or get together and worry about the seating - don't. They can accommodate. Outside seating has gorgeous views of the water, but fear not - there are plenty seats indoors to see the water and views as well. There is ample parking, but the lot can fill up fast on gorgeous weather days, holidays, and weekends.It's very easy to make reservations and I had no problems when it came time to arrive at the restaurant. Service has always been great here. The employees are friendly. The food quality is excellent and consistent. I tend to order the same thing every time I come here, and the quality or quantity has never wavered. The restaurant posts their weekend specials (with photos!) on their Facebook page every week, so look out for that as well. They also post their specials on the host deck as soon as you come into the restaurant.Overall, we will continue to return!

I visited this place for lunch shortly after I had come back from a Caribbean vacation. The outdoor atmosphere of this restaurant took me right back to the islands. The weather was much warmer then, so I sat outside with a view of the water. It was so relaxing. I felt like I took a mini vacation for lunch without having to get on a plane. As soon as I saw this sandwich on the menu, I knew I had to have it. It's the seafood club, which is shrimp salad topped with a fried crab cake and bacon. Are you kidding me, a whole bunch of my favorite things on one sandwich?! It was slightly messy and completely delicious. The shrimp salad alone was good (there's an option to have a just shrimp salad sandwich), but adding the additional ingredients took this sandwich to another level. For dessert, I had cake with strawberries. I think it was angel food cake. The dessert was ok but the sandwich was definitely the star of the show.

To be honest, nothing too exciting here. Ordered a caesar salad for takeout and was not an exciting salad. The leaves were not all chopped, so was left with some giant pieces and some were still a bit wet. It honestly felt like it was just thrown in the box. The salmon came in a separate box was actually really delicious and cooked perfectly. It did help make my salad more bareable. This place might have some better options, but the salad was a bit disappointed.
