Stoney's Seafood House

Food- 10/10 love coming to Stoneys every time I'm in town. The Service is always a 10/10. The ambiance is very nice.

I feel really badly about making this review because I use to love this place and ate here often when I lived in Maryland. However, I was disgusted with the fact that they charged me $42 for a very small crab cake sandwich with a little tiny serving of coleslaw. The crab cake taste good, but it was REALLY small and definitely NOT worth $42!

I went to Stoney's three time in the week I was visiting Prince Frederick. The first time, I waited by the sign that said "wait for seating" for 10 minute's without anyone showing up to seat me, so I ate elsewhere. I went another day and figured out you need to wait where the bar staff can see you. Seating was quick and easy. The crab cakes were excellent and I enjoyed it twice with one day in between. I ate somewhere else just to mix it up, but I went back the next day and had another outstanding meal. If I'm back in the area, they'll see me again

I was invited her for my cousin's birthday dinner. I was skeptical considering the reviews, but figured I'd keep my order super simple to avoid disappointment.**SNEAKY DRAGON - Super duper sweet, even for me...and I have a major sweet tooth. Even the melted ice didn't help.BACON MOZZARELLA CHICKEN SANDWICH w/CAESAR SALAD (instead of French fries... look at me, being all healthy and what-not!) - The sandwich was just OK. The salad was good, just waaaay too much dressing (I forgot to ask for dressing on the side.) Would order again.OLD BAY WINGS - My cousin shared a couple of wings. Very lightly seasoned, but good. Would order again.We were part of a large party and were seated in a private area away from the other diners in the restaurant. The service was friendly and given with a smile.Thankfully everyone enjoyed their orders. Apparently, the chocolate lava cake was a hit. (It looked good, but I didn't try any...)__I eat. @f.huxI thrift. @DCthriftish

Came here while visiting family over the Thanksgiving holiday and I was in search of crab legs. The place is in a busy strip mall and the decor is dark and outdated, but the bar area seemed to be filled with regulars having a good time and it was a large place with ample seating. We were seated quickly and the service was great. To start off, We had a mixed drink that was very tasty (the sneaky dragon) and the fried rockfish bites which we enjoyed. The seafood platter was delicious! Hot and fresh. The crab ball was so good, loved the shrimp, too. But the Old Bay fries were amazinggggg I could have eaten a million of them. The only thing on the platter that we didn't like as much was the fried scallop. The breading fell off because it was wet and it was very chewy/rubbery. The snow crab was amazing and I finally got my steamed crab leg fix on this trip!

Shrimp tacos were great! Great service they remembered all my utensils and Togo sauces.

First red flag was how dead the place was for a Saturday night. Crab came out partially cold, partially warm. No butter. Fried shrimp, no cocktail sauce. Broiled seafood, no butter, no cocktail sauce, no tartar sauce. Requesting condiments seemed as though we were bothering our server. Fish was well done, tough and had a horrible taste to it. No drink refills. $150 for 3 people. Too many issues to attempt a second visit.

I first became familiar with Stoneys many years ago when they were originally located in Fox Run Shopping center and a 2nd location at Broomes Island and remembered those locations and the food there fondly. Both of those locations closed over the years and the new location at Costley Way opened. I had not been to this location ever, or eaten at Stoneys in years when my sister suggested it for dinner last night. Remembering my previous experiences at the previous locations I happily agreed, this was a mistake. I don't know what happened over the years, but the food which was once fabulous was not very good. It's a nice location, nice ambience and our server was attentive and friendly. At the end of the day those things are nice but when you're dining out, it's ultimately about the food, which was wanting in this experience. I opened with a stuffed mushroom appetizer. On the menu it stated mushrooms stuffed with crab imperial. When it arrived at the table it had some kind of black sauce drizzled on the top in the manner that you see foo foo restaurants employ that feel a need to take food and make it into some kind of "art". Whatever it was, it wasn't in the description on the menu and ruined what would have been a tasty appetizer, just ruined it. Both my sister and myself then ordered the crab cake dinner. My selection of this was based upon my memory of crab cakes eaten at previous Stoneys locations of the past as their crab cakes were always great. Well, "were" seems to be the operative word. The crab cakes were dry, nasty and a complete loss as compared to what they were in the past visits to the other Stoneys locations. 1 appetizer, 2 dinners, a glass of wine and a soda was $180 w/tip. I don't mind paying a bill of this magnitude for a dinner for two, if the food is good, sadly it was not only not good, but terrible. I don't know if this bad meal was an aberration or if something has changed in the ownership or management of Stoneys, but the food was terrible, when it used to be great. Suffice to say, whatever the reason, it was bad enough to where I'll say never again. I'll go to Jerry's place and get seafood where it actually tastes good.

Our meals averaged $50 per person and the restaurant didn't have any baked potatoes. Not like there isn't three grocery stores within a mile of the restaurant. I bet they wouldn't run out of beer.

Nothing was worth the price. The menu conceptually is good but the execution was horrific. Some food was too dry. Some food was too wet It's not really funny though because it was embarrassing to take family we hadn't seen in a while there. Huge waste of money. I got the vibe more experienced staff is hard to keep at this location for whatever reason.
