I enjoyed my shrimp scampi but it was prepared differently than what I'm used to. Nonetheless, I recommend it. Others in our party really enjoyed the meatloaf. I had wine from the happy hour menu and it was fine for the price. We couldn't enjoy the view because is was dark this time of the year. Service was prompt and efficient.
Such a hidden gem; out from California for work and a colleague recommended this place; great vibe overall, definitely a locals hangout, patrons not too friendly but I respect that. Staff were all outstanding and very helpful! Have Sarah make you a skinny jalapeño n cucumber margarita; great sipping cocktail!
This place has a great view of the water and plenty of sail boats. The cream of crab soup was fresh and ham plenty of crab in it. We got fried shrimp and it reminds me of long John's silver but even better. Will definitely be back
1st let me say I love that this on the water! That just stole my heart! There is a tiki bar if you want to sit outside instead of being in the restaurant. The restaurant has outdoor and inside seating and a bar area. We had the Chesapeake flat bread pizza. It was so yummy. The crab dip is the sauce topped with shrimp and cheese. My entree was the crabcake. It had a very good taste and if it wasn't for the veggies and baked potato I probably could of ate 2 of them. I definitely recommend this restaurant for some great dishes!
Came here with my family one rainy Sunday and had a great time. Started with the Cream of Crab soup which was a nice combination of crab and was not too salty or too lemony! Our waitress was very helpful and friendly! I asked for extra cherries and on my Shirley Temple and she gave me 7 which was funny and nice! I was not super hungry so I got the flat bread app which had shrimp and crab dip and it was very filling that I took it home and finished later.
I've been to Pirates Cove in the past before Covid but it had been awhile since I have eaten here. I did notice the interior is bright and the place is huge! I noticed it has been remodeled and more people were eating there. In the past, it was quiet and not too many customers. We met up with friends and our server Tiffany was very pleasant and friendly. She recommended the prickly pear crush and raved about the beignets. She was so right about the beignets. They were light and delicious and the raspberry sauce was a nice touch!
Can't wait to go back for the fried shrimp platter. Food, service, and vibes were all great!
We had the best meal here after a day on the water! Our table on the side porch was perfect to accommodate our two young children while mom & I took in the view. Everything we ordered was delicious! We started with the kids chicken tenders, wings, and mussels, all of which were great. Everything fried was perfectly done! Our entrees were the generously portioned steak salad and my favorite, fried shrimp dinner. The fried shrimp are the best I've had in the area. We will definitely be back!
We wanted seafood by the water so we stopped by Pirates Cove for lunch. It has two side ls to dine,m. An outdoor/dock bar and a inside restaurant. It was cutely decorated. They played 80s music throughout the restaurant and had breathtaking water views! We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share. We had the fried green tomatoes, half Maryland crab soup and cream of crab soup, house garden salad, crab dip, mini crab cakes/balls, and a baked potato. I need to mention that the scallions I received were dried out. The salad seemed a bit wilted and the tomatoes were mushy. The baked potato was not completely cooked. The waitress quickly took it off the bill and whisked it away with no questions asked. The stars of the cuisine were the crab dip and the mini crap cakes/balls. They were so good and full of flavor. I enjoy most of the food but the views were spectacular!
