DR Seafood & BBQ

Ordered the 2 piece fish entree (selected flounder over the cod option - which was my indicator of this may not go well. Most seafood places offer whiting, trout, perch, cat fish, tilapia (ick) - here, flounder or cod. Despite the red flag, I stuck with my goal of supporting and ordered.This is NOT the spot. DON'T DO IT!! OMG I was all in to support the come up although I never had their food while a food truck - I supported because of the transition to a brick and mortar operation. The collard greens they just opened a can and heated - no flavor at all! The potato salad (touted as homemade) - again no seasoning. The clams (not pictured because I ate on themwhile there - grateful for the seasoning on the table and cocktail sauce) were just fried from whomever they use - think Sysco. The flounder - think Sysco here too. So it's literally flounder filet portions you can purchase from any grocery store. They're awful to know food quality yet deliver this subpar food for sale. Yes, I tipped ahead of receiving my order and I'm ticked off that I did. Perhaps they're better for BBQ or crabs - the "seafood" don't even try it.Their service is impeccable; their food - NOPE!!!

Simple, honest, high quality, generous portions of Southern comfort food. The ribs are meaty and moist, coleslaw slaw and collards taste fresh, hush puppies are superb. Ice tea is actually freshly brewed with a strong flavor. I'm sensitive to salt and nothing was overly salted to me.Can't wait to return and try more dishes!Located on a side road just off rt. 1. Easy to get back on rt 1 because there's a light.Indoor and outdoor seating options, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Good radio station playing. Friendly and fast service. This place is wonderful!

Overall: DR has a food truck and a small, cute, and clean indoor location. I wouldn't say the seafood is the best, but I come back for it every summer because it's convenient and the price is pretty awesome. (Single-stall gendered restrooms) It's summer tradition for me to get a gulf lover steam pot. I've gotten it from the truck and the physical location. The truck has always been better with timing when I called to order in advance. I called early on a rainy Monday to the physical location for a pot to be ready at 4. The place was not busy and there wasn't a single person in there, but we didn't leave with our pot until 4:25. For less than $50, I find the gulf lover pot to be a great deal. I love the mix of food they give you. The shrimp tend to be a great size and flavor, but overcooked. The crabs aren't the biggest or most flavorful, but they are still fine and good. Nothing special about the corn, potato's, onions, or sausage that comes with it, but I love the combo because I don't feel like crabs are very filling. The chili was nothing special. The MD crab soup had a very generous amount of crab in it.

So very disappointed in this plate. I barely ate one rib. They were chewy and not fall off of the bone and flavorless. I asked the person taking orders if he green beans are canned or fresh and she said fresh. These are not fresh. The baked mac n cheese was a pleasant surprise yet it was just ok tasting, while being the best thing of the meal. The complimentary hush puppies seemed /tasted old and were very hard on the outside. Waahhh I've been meaning to try this place and was so excited I remembered to check it out on a rare lunch out day only to wish I just ate at home.

If I could get them zero Stars I would. DO NOT buy any crabs from them. I paid $60 for medium crabs and they were all HOLLOW. I called so they rectify the matter and the black guy that works there hung up on me! Can you believe that craziness? Telling me that it was my problem and they can't control it! He told me that he would not be doing anything and he didn't care if they lost the customer. I will be leaving negative feedback on every media outlet that I can, He was very unprofessional to no only hang up on a customer who who is trying to understand why the $25 small crabs had more meat in them than the $60 medium crabs, but to say he didn't care if they lost me as a customer. Every leg that I pulled out of these crabs I could see straight through the shell. I will never go here again and will not recommend them to anyone!

Attempted to patronize the DR Seafood & BBQ location on Rt.1 and Meadow Ridge Rd (Elkridge) at 9:21am and before I could fully exit my car the staff member came out to inform me that I could not park in front of their establishment (assuming I was parking for another business in the area).I then stated, I was coming to patronize you all to which he then responded with the same unpleasant attitude that they are not open and if I saw the sign (which was off). I then said ok, didn't know what time you all opened was just coming in to check. He then yelled 10-6pm very non-chalantly and shut the door.I would never patronize this establishment ever again!!! Glad I didn't spend my money and would caution you just the same.

This is for the new brick and mortar establishment on Route 103. The girl seemed kind of prickly at first, but then she turned out to be super sweet. They let me order ahead and pick up at closing, which I really appreciated. Shrimp was FANTASTIC! Cream of crab, hush puppies and coleslaw were just ok. Looking forward to trying the crabs.

Service was excellent although I was the only one inside ordering. I ordered carryout. The guy taking my order could not have been more polite or nice, really nice. The place was also very clean and neat. I ordered the "Belly Buster" combination sandwich, pit beef, pit ham, and pit turkey all on one "belly buster" of a sandwich. The issue is, once I got back to work and opened up the sandwich I discovered this was more like a large slider. In no way should ever be considered a buster of any sort. I work at a food distribution warehouse where we have certified food scales...at this point I couldn't help myself but to weigh the meat on the sandwich. 1.25 ounces of beef, 1.25 ounces of ham, 1.25 ounces of turkey...for a grand total of 3.75 ounces of meat. This is being slightly generous because that was leaving the condiments (bbq sauce and horseradish) on said meat. The taste of the baby slider was pretty good, the roll was fresh, I give the taste a B.The value of course as you can already surmise - F-. The cost of this epic baby slider - $14.99 (after tax)For $15 Belly Buster sandwich you should expect more. A lot more.

Service is absolutely terrible. Ordered cream of crab soup. Employee took the order. Employee returned with MarylandCrab soup. Immediately questioned the substitute and her reply was "we don't have cream of crab". No effort to rectify the mistake, just walked away.

Best oysters around. I got 6 dozen and didn't have a single dead. The were delicious.
