Food is amazing. I got the ribeye steak, Mac and cheese and the creamed spinach. Busy Friday night. Sat at the bar and the service was amazing. Andrew was great. Very attentive and professional. He had a great attitude. Atmosphere was great. Food was cooked to perfection and the old fashion was perfect.

Food was not great and cleanliness of the bathroom was terrible! I notified one of the servers and hopefully it got corrected!

Four friends met today at Wharf 38 for a birthday lunch. There is plenty of parking in a couple of lots, although when you are driving in, you need to look for the signs out on the road because the place is tucked in back by the water. The inside seating looked nice, with window views, but we chose to eat outside. The outside seating is picnic tables with umbrellas, on a deck overlooking the water. We shared the crab dip, which was pretty tasty (you can ask for bread, Ritz crackers, or celery with it). Two of us ordered wines (wine & water are served in plastic cups outdoors). I had the Shrimp Succotash entree, which was outstanding (the server had recommended it). Two friends had the smash burger (huge--two patties--comes well done). One person had the crab cake sandwich. The sides are interesting--stewed tomatoes have a kick, and the brussel sprouts were good. We finished up with the orange creamsicle dessert (there are two desserts to choose from). That was good--not memorable.Overall, it was a nice lunch. The staff was pleasant and the setting is pretty.

The Wharf 38° CRUSHED it! The new hot spot in Deale is exactly what this area needs. A modern and clean environment, with a great creekside location with docks to boat up for lunch. I came and enjoyed the watermelon salad and fries. Fries were excellent, cooked in fresh peanut oil. The salad was rich and juicy watermelon cubes on a bed of freshmixed greens with an absolutely delicious dressing that had hints of sesame. The simple yet robust menu of classy farm to table selections had lovely options across the board. The drinks are also something to mention. They have a ton of fresh fruit crush options and even a special called the Creek Crush that had jalapeño in it, so good. Fast and efficient staff, friendly and knowledgeable owner. My first trip was a success!

Great views of the Rockhold Creek with great food and service. We tried the new fall menu and were pleasantly surprised with how creative they were. The brie cheese appetizer was like a fancy mozzarella stick appetizer so it was very easy to share. The deviled eggs were on point and we tried the burger, bone in pork chop, carmelized carrots, fries, and cornbread. Everything was delicious but, you should definitely always add a side of fries. We sat at the outside porch railing for the great weather and view.

This place is amazing!!!! The view, the staff and the food were all top notch. We decided to sit outside. In an another few months, warm summer days will be a thing of the past and we wanted to take full advantage while we could. The view was great. We saw several boats cruise by. Definitely a relaxing way to start off a great meal. We started with the soft shell clams, very good. I'm more of an oyster kind of girl, but these were quite tasty. They came with drawn butter, cocktail sauce and broth. For my main I got the Shrimp Succotash. It was very reminiscent of shrimp and grits. The grits were replaced with a creamy polenta, roasted corn & tomato succotash, hush puppy croutons and garlic roasted shrimp. The corn tasted local and very fresh. Everything about this dish was spot on. I would absolutely order this over and over. I got Brussels and fries as my sides. Brussels were flashed fried and had some sort of sauce and thick bacon. Although, I couldn't quite place the flavor, I really enjoyed it. The fries were good as well, typical hand cut. Nothing special, but they were fine. All in all a really great experience. This is definitely a sweet little spot. The only drawback is they don't do carry out orders. We were able to order an additional entree and boxed it ourselves. I also didn't notice any desserts. Something using fresh seasonal ingredients would have been a great sweet ending to a delightful meal. If you're ever in the area, I highly suggest you give this place a try. You will not be disappointed.

The universe finally listened and my little Italian heart is now happy! At first glance, you look at the limited menu and go "mmhhh... they're definitely proud of their food." But then you come and realize that this isn't your typical dock-bar. It has all of the elements of what makes a waterfront establishment in this area of Maryland special... the crabs, the view, the water access, and even a great crush... but the food? Forget all you know about dock bar food. These are restaurant quality dishes made with fresh ingredients, prepared by someone with care and creativity. There's nothing in this area that quite measures up... and if you're lucky to have Grace take your order, you'll leave with a full belly and a smile! Her peppy, engaging attitude was really the cherry on top! Apologies for the pics of the half eaten dishes... that buffalo artichoke was just too good!

I saw the menu on social media this morning and here we are at this new-to-us SoCo restaurant. It's a cold day, so we went the comfort food route. My husband ordered the meatloaf sandwich. He said it was perfectly cooked and he specifically called out the bread and aioli. The fries are hand cut and crisp.. I decided to try the fried chicken - so tender beyond the crunch. Mac n cheese was delish. I ordered a glass of wine and received a generous pour. We'll definitely be back to explore more food from the menu! This should be a hot spot during the summer with great food and waterfront vibe!

Definitely check out this hidden south county gem! Everything I've had has been delicious at Wharf 38. I love how unique their menu is and consistently changing with whats in the season. Very clean and cute. Our server was a sweetheart and the bartender made a great expresso martini. This is one of my favorite places to stop by boat and grab a fresh lunch in the warmer months. Knowing the food is sourced locally whenever they can makes me love this place even more. We love the views, the outside dining with our pup, or to sneak away and relax for drink on their dock. In the summer these were some of the biggest crabs I've had at a restaurant and we watched them come off the boat! I really like how you can get any of the beautiful salads as a "side" portion and the side portion is also huge.
