Dock Street Bar & Grill

I'm in Maryland- have to go for the crab. The recommendation was Dock's. Crab at mp was $26. Crab cake was $26. It was so good and filling. I also liked the crab and corn chowder- cream based in a bowl. This was enough to fill two adults and a baby.

Situated in a prime spot right next to the harbor, I knew I had to give this place a try. My plan was to get a few drinks and grab a bite.I ordered a burger, thinking surely a bar and grill makes a solid burger. The server asked how I wanted my burger cooked, so I told her "medium." My buddy got some cod. The food came out quickly, which was nice. The fries were pretty good, and my buddy's cod was also good. However, when I bit into my burger, it was apparent that the flavor was off. Upon lifting the bun, I realized the burger was nearly blackened from the char of the grill. Well, I see why "grill" is in the name of this place--they must grill it until it's burnt. I had to pick away at it to salvage any edible parts.I can only imagine what their "medium-well" burgers would be like; you could probably use them as hockey pucks. So if you get a burger from here and your server asks how you want it cooked, say "rare," and you might just get a burger you can actually eat!The cherry on top was when the server combined the check between me and my buddy, which isn't the end of the world but still should be asked about first.Other than that, it's a cool, casual place to drink; just be careful with their food.

Casual dining with outdoor seating. We ordered several to go meals to take on the boat. We ordered inside and waited at the outdoor seating 15 minutes for our meals. I got the crab-cake sandwich $28 which came with curly fries. The crab-cake was full of lump and was generous in size and who doesn't like curly fries. The dipping sauce was a type of honey mustard. I didn't use much of it because a good crab-cake shouldn't need anything. It should be seasoned well enough to stand alone. This crab-cake was good and meaty but it could have used a bit more seasoning for my taste. The fish and chips $15 were very good and the dip was a nice spicy addition and also included curly fries. The indoor seating is cozy, small and dark.

We stopped by for lunch and had the best crab cake we've ever eaten. Fun atmosphere, both outside and inside. The crab dip was fabulous as well. Friendly staff, great location. Highly recommend!

A group of us stopped in on a weekday afternoon for a quick drink on our way to an event. It was bustling and the bartender was also waiting tables. We ordered beers, cashed out and gave a generous tip. Then we heard him talking about other customers to a fellow server and he said "they can eat sh*t." Lovely service attitude.

We visited on a Tuesday night. Took the free public transport bus from our hotel and it was just a short walk to the place. The place was pretty packed due to an event in the upstairs portion. It was very loud and the same game was showing on four different TV screens. Our waiter was also the bartender, so he definitely had his hands full, but he was extremely rude to us as we ordered. I got the crab dip and a Moscow Mule. The crab dip was delicious and had nice lumps of meat in it, but the drink was pretty terrible, I could not finish that. I would like to give this place another try when they aren't so crowded.One note of caution...the sidewalk in front of the location is not very level, so just watch your step when it's dark and you've been drinking.

Crab cake sandwich! Even the tomatoes tasted farm fresh. Fries were ok not amazing not very flavorful.

Pretty cool place! Friendly staff, especially for a Sunday night after a storm and pretty quiet in a usually bustling town. Crab cake was amazing. Market price $23 (June 2024) totally worth it! BLT with local tomatoes and curly fries! Not our usual dinner pick but it was delicious!We were late, it did get a little loud and busy, but, hey it's a bar!

After an evening of wine tasting we were in the mood for pizza! Lol Unfortunately it was late and most places were closing but Dock Street showed extended hours and pizza was on the menu so we took a chance and ventured over here. In the heart of Marylands capital, the are reminded me of Old Town Alexandria Virginia, just not as busy and again it was a Wednesday evening...We sat down and was greeted by the bar tender with a smile. The music selection wasn't our cup of tea lol but the curly fries were seasoned well and piping hot! The pizza was ok...thin crust pepperoni pizza that brought us back to life. We shared one personal size pizza and it was just enough for us...Now would would we come back, probably not...but it served its purpose. Alls well and ends well. Happy Yelping!

Apparently the crab cakes and crab dip are good (per my family) but everything else is garbage. If you can't eat crab, eat before you come. My dog did not want to eat my food. The service was lovely though.
