Honestly always an amazing experience. There was a large birthday celebration while we were there so I was a little worried maybe our food would lack or take a long time but it was amazing as always and came out quickly. This is my favorite food ever!

Cameron (our server) was great — efficient, timely and professional. southern greens starter was delicious. Old Fashioned was tasty— BUT the 8 oz glass came to me half full (and a lot of that was ice). There was about 1 oz of liquid. For $14, fill up that glass. We suggest ordering beer or wine. The rockfish entree was delicious (as was the asparagus). So was the chicken pot pie. Hostess was absolutely delightful .

Came to the Choptank for my mother-in-laws birthday dinner. The food did not disappoint and the atmosphere made it delightful for her special day! Tyler our server was very kind, informative and funny. He made our experience the perfect day, especially knowing to bring out some dessert for the birthday girl.
