The Landing At Mackey’s

I believe this place reopened after several months of being closed due to Covid. The hubs and I discovered the restaurant with help from our kayak instructor. After paddling for about two hours, and admiring the beautiful scenery, we docked and entered the eatery. Our waitress was sweet. She brought us to a table with views of the water we had previously exited. Since we both were famished appetizers looked very promising. The Chesapeake Bay house chips were made in house, and came with a side of ranch sauce. They were fresh, crunchy, seasoned well, and addicting. I wish they sold these separately to take home. Sometimes your eyes are bigger than your stomach... I literally wanted to eat everything after paddling for two hours, but I needed to pace myself. I hoped my hubby ordered something I could also stuff my stomach with in addition to my food ;) Well he kept it safe and didn't live dangerously by ordering a mushroom and Swiss burger lol. It was very very good. I took several bites of the burger. Since he eats meat medium well to well done verses my medium rare, I was surprised on how flavorful and Smokey it was. Most of the time burgers that's cooked well tend to be dry and hard. I opted for the seafood dinner plate even though it was a little after 1pm. Thank god they offer dinner early during that time. Everyone seemed to be gravitating towards the lunch menu ;) I tried to be a bit health conscious by ordering the shrimp plate sautéed instead of fried. By doing so, I celebrated that choice by choosing my two sides of sweet potato fries and hush puppies. The 1/2lb of shrimp was flavorful, and sweet with a kick of spicy seasoning. There was enough shrimp leftover to take home to make into a sandwich. The sweet potato waffle fries were thin and crunchy. I wished it had a little more potato meat, and was not consistent to a potato chip. The hush puppies were savory, hot, fresh, crisp exterior, and a great side dish to the shrimp.I highly recommend landings at Mackeys. Call ahead to see what their hours are before heading over. The hubs and I would definitely revisit! Support local!!!

Definitely a place in the middle of nowhere. When I walked in, every server just looked at us like we were different. Not a look I like too see. There's not much to say. The food is okay, the waiter was just okay. The waiter was nice, but didn't know much about drinks nor the menu. Another guy at the bar, walked out with a case of beer from the bar. I'm not too sure what was going on, it wasn't too busy whatsoever. Slow as molasse. Just felt strange sitting in a nice lunch area. We were the only customers at noon for a whole entire hour.I ordered a app, it was okay, order a burger well it didn't pack much of a flavor. I wasn't too comfortable after arriving. Very basic food with a high pricetag. Just felt off, with everything going on. I'll go back, but I wont expect much. In the end, food is okay but nice views of the creeks and boats!

This place was closed for a few years but been reopened abt 3 months. It's been remodeled and it's beautiful. Our waitress was very pleasant and friendly. Carol made sure we had plenty of tea and checked on us frequently. The food was great! We had the shrimp plates mine was fried and my husband had the grilled. Our dinners came out hot and the fries were crispy. The shrimp was fresh and not greasy. 1/2 a lb of medium shrimp on each platter. The salad was nice and cold and a nice side. They have a full bar. We will so back and highly recommend this great restaurant and kudos to our waitress Carol and will definitely ask for her the next time we come in. They are closed on Mondays and also have a lunch menu. 11-8 pm. Sunday's they have different specials. 11-2 on

I like this restaurant for the most part. I just have a problem with how long it takes to get seated, and if you have a call in sometimes it takes hours before it's ready. Other than that staff is pretty nice, food is good.

Absolutely amazing hidden Gem. Best service, food, and atmosphere that you you'll find in a location you'll never want to leave.

I'm giving 3 stars as I respect the fact that this is a small business which comes with challenges in and of itself. My partner and I were very disappointed with the food. The shrimp tasted old and very "fishy" . The "seafood platter " looked more like a child's plate from the kids menu. The salad was fresh and the dressing was good. We had no complaints about the staff - everyone was very friendly and accommodating.

Horrible! Rancid wine, cold food, tacos were a joke- Just lettuce and raw shrimp. No salsa, avocado, sour cream, flavor.. The fish tasted old, no sauces that go with fried fish (tartar sauce etc.) The waitress said this happens all the time. This place used to be great.. unreal..

Great food, great service! Bethany was the best!My huge family stopped here on the way to the beach and there was something on the menu for everyone.

Good food and friendly service. I would have given them 5 starts but like most businesses they did not have enough staff. I'm sure the labor shortage is the cause.

Amazing food, amazing service! Friendly environment. My place to go to unwind and relax. Highly recommended!
