Diner Reviews

"We were in Annapolis for a Lacrosse tournament and decided to try out this eatery in downtown Annapolis. Great view but the the food was a major disappointment! Two out of three of our meals were terrible and when we told the waitress she just apologized for us not liking it. We are not ones to ask for meals to be taking off the bill, but when it is obvious 3/4 of our meal was left.....it is then the responsibility of the waitress to let the manager know and them to accommodate in some way!"

"We usually visit Pusser's once a year and this past weekend with the warmer weather was just the right time, unfortunately still not warm enough to sit outside. Our waitress was very pleasant and efficient and our food arrived in step. We always love the coconut rum shrimp as our appy and for our entrée, we had the bacon wrapped shrimp skewers and the surf and turf special with a tropical salad and dessert. Our meals were great as usual and we had a great time after strolling around Main Street all afternoon. We'll be back in the summer and enjoy the outside marina view!"

"We came here two days in a row as we enjoyed the breakfast so much! The bloody mary's were a great compliment to the breakfast as well."

"It was great! The February $19.99 Surf n' Turf Deal was GREAT!!!! Normally $29.99 for Steak, Lobster, Potato, and Asparagus. in February it also had Desert and Salad for the $19.99 deal! Signup on their website for the newsletter and ALSO get a FREE appetizer!"

"The Valentines Day special was an outstanding value. There were a number of choices and everything we had was very good. Thanks."

"We can always count on Pussers for great food, good service and terrific ambience. We go there in the summer (for the outdoor eating) and in the winter for the beautiful water view of Annapolis and Naval Academy from their glass enclosed dining area. It's one of our all year round favorites. If dining in winter, valet parking is free!!!!"

"My spouse and I went for dinner around 6pm on a Wednesday evening so we were pretty much the only ones in the front room where it overlooked the bay. VERY PRETTY! I'm sure its even nicer in the summer when its open for outdoor dining. I had the barbeque salmon dinner entree and it was to-die-for! So much flavor packed into a healthy dish! And they gave me a half of a plate of veggies which is great to see! I also had the Oysters on a half-shell for an appetizer... they were a bit cheesy but still delicious! My spouse had the Grilled Mahi-mahi and she wasn't too impressed as they were lacking a bit of flavor. In fact, there were some people there trying to sell a new alcohol so we ended up with some pretty powerful free drinks too!"

"We really enjoyed the dining experience. The food is great, prices reasonable and the atmosphere is very nice. I really like the free valet parking as Annapolis can be a hard place to find parking and if you do it can be a hike. Everyone from the valet parking crew to the busboys were very pleasant.We will return with our friends and family in the future."

"What a find! We had a party of 8 including 4 children, ages 3-11. The wait staff couldn't have been better, attentive but not hovering. The January special of a 5 oz petite filet mignon, 5 oz lobster tail, baked potato, fresh vegetables, Caribbean salad, and desert for $19.95 was perfectly perpared, beautifully served and delicious. Other entrees also rate rave reviews."

"Arrived at 3 for a 3pm reservation. They said they would have to go look to see if they have any tables. They did find one they didn't know they had. Over 10 minutes to get a waiter. Oysters were great. Fish an chips were bad. Fish overcooked very hard dripping with grease. Chips soggy over cooked and greasy. Great water view. Very lacking in service and preparation. They need some adult supervision."

"We have gone to Pusser's for 13 years now and it never disappoints. Great location with the best view in town. Excellent food at unbelievable fair prices."

"We went for Christmas dinner as we had spent Christmas eve with the family. We arrived early and sat at the bar. The bar staff was so attentive that we ate our dinner at the bar. The coconut shrimp and butternut squash soup were fantastic. We had the prime rib and crab cakes entrees. Again, very good and large portions. The couple next to us had the traditional Christmas turkey dinner and they said it was excellent. I would highly recommend Pusser's to anyone looking for a place to have Christmas dinner. Also, the price for the was prix fix menu was only $29,95 per person for the three course meal and there was a wide variety of choices. We will return again soon!"
Dined on 12/25/2013
"This was our first time at Pusser’s. The view is outstanding, with the Annapolis harbor right in front of us. We went for Christmas dinner, so there was a limited, 3-course menu for $30. Despite the limited menu, there was still a good variety of meat, fish, and vegetarian options, including prime rib and 8 oz. filet mignon. You really can’t argue with these prices. The food itself was good but nothing special -- I had salmon and my wife had turkey with “all the trimmings.” The portions are large, with several sides. The turkey was a little chunky, and the sauce for the salmon was too sweet, but the fish itself was tasty and the sweet potatoes were creamy and good. Again: $30 for 3 courses. You really can’t argue with that."

"We know a restaurant can't put it's best foot forward on a major holiday, but our 2 hour dinner was worse that we had expected. 30 minutes to take drink order, another 40 minutes for dinner to be served. Wrong dessert brought at the end. Had they not built in a gratuity of 18% for our party of 3, we would not have tipped that high. Staff stressed and you could just tell they were on their last nerve. A lot of apologizing going on at all our surrounding tables. Staff did appear to understand the short comings (they comped our 2 glasses of wine) so I would hope for a better Christmas 2014 meal. Not that we will try to find out."

"We had a group of 6 for brunch and the food, service and view were all excellent. The eggs benedict with crab cakes were amazing - I couldn't get over how large the crab cakes were! Everyone else was very pleased with their meals as well. The noise was a bit of a problem for those of us who are getting up there in years - there just isn't anything to absorb sound so it is very noisy and it made conversation difficult."
Dined on 11/29/2013
"The food was excellent. While the service was good, it could have been a little snappier. The restaurant atmosphere and pretty waterfront location were enjoyed by our group over a couple of days."
Dined on 11/17/2013
"Lunch was very good. You will receive plenty of food for the value."
Dined on 10/26/2013
"The food itself was OK, just not really our favorite. The coconut shrimp had very little coconut and was mostly bread crumb. The painkiller drink was awful!! Very bitter!"
Dined on 9/29/2013
"This was my first visit to Pusser's.The menu is vast with more then enough choices. Parking was a little hard, $20 for a short walk. We started with the crab dip that was amazing. My friend had the lobster bisque, even with the hefty price tag it was more than worth it. We made our reservation on open table @ 7:00. Due to traffic we arrived at 7:05 and asked to wait for outside. We were seated at 7:35 at a wonderful table. Out server was energetic and knowledgeable. I can't wait return but they "Say" not to try going during the boat show?"
Dined on 9/29/2013
"We hit Pusser's almost every time we are in Annapolis. Food and service are always excellent. Location is awesome as they are right on the water. You can't go wrong if you dine here."
Dined on 5/12/2013
"I have eaten at Pussers many times before and had a great experience. This most recent time was disappointing as the cocktails were subpar and the food was mediocre. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and everyone complained that the low quality of food did not match the high prices. I don't plan on going back."
Dined on 9/22/2013
"Food was good and painkillers were the best. Kid friendly and enough variety of food for all guests to have a choice"
Dined on 9/8/2013
"This place is great for a Sunday brunch (maybe if you're hungover) and don't really care what the food tastes like. The drinks are great, yet overpriced. Food- all I can say is mediocre at best. The atmosphere was fun, the service was good, but we were still disappointed. This IS a tourist trap, after all. Locals, unless you are meeting people here, DO NOT GO. At least to eat...It's sad, because the location is very nice."
Dined on 3/17/2013
"Great restaurant on the water looking out on the harbor for either lunch or dinner. Food and service is good. If you enjoy dining outside on the water you'll love this restaurant."
Dined on 9/5/2013
"Our server came to take our order, once during the meal, and to take our check... that was pretty much it. Also, I placed a request to be seated on the patio or outdoors and even made my reservation days in advance. We drove for several hours to eat here for a special occasion, and upon arrival, we were told that our "request made online doesn't apply".....THEN WHY HAVE A REQUEST BOX?? So we sat at the assigned table, and looking out the window, I noticed that there were empty tables outside, where I had requested to be seated. why couldn't we be seated there? Did someone else's request for outdoor seating take priority? Overall the experience was quite mediocre. I most likely wont be coming back here to eat next time we are in Annapolis."
Dined on 8/25/2013
"We had an outstanding view from outside. But because we waited almost 30 minutes for it despite reservations, we missed the brunch! However, my companion who REALLY wanted brunch, spoke with the manager who was terrific and allowed her to get a made to order omelet before the closed the station. That kind of service is REALLY rare these days and was very appreciated. The umbrella drinks were all great and we had a spectacular view from the outside. The rest of the meal was pretty average."
Dined on 8/25/2013
"I love this restaurant Their drinks are awesome And such a diverse menu If you're lucky enough to get a table outside You love the atmosphere of sitting by the waters drinking a drink and watching the boats go by It gets really busy so wait times are long But well worth it"
Dined on 8/25/2013
"The food was ok, nothing special but I wasnt upset either. The mixed drinks are good if you are looking to get pretty tipsy but the beer selection is slacking. The bar looks like fun if you are looking for a party atmospher on the water. The location is great as you get ot sit on the water and watch the boats pass by. Overall, it was ok but other nearby options offer better food and drink selections while this place offers the location"
Dined on 8/18/2013
"If I had even eaten there, I would be able to give better feedback. They did not honor my reservation! After driving an hour from Baltimore, my friend and I showed up and were told the wait was an hour, regardless of the reservation I made. Nope, never going back."
Dined on 8/16/2013
"Only the view is distinctive. Crab cake was below par and fries were soggy."
Dined on 7/31/2013
"Everything was very good. Food and service were great and the setting is outstanding. The only issue is the poor manner that reception for the restaurant is run---doesn't seem to be any concern for the customer. Creates a bad first impression."
Dined on 8/11/2013
"Pusser's is a great casual place to dine when spending time at the waterfront."
Dined on 8/5/2013
"Dining here was a choice for it's location and reputation. Neither disappointed! The water was delightful to enjoy as boaters and kayakers shared the waterways. The ships with tourists filled the area between pirate adventures and schooners taking off. Crab cakes were what you would expect as a Maryland staple. the drinks were a little on the week side. But considering it was 11:30 AM maybe that was a good thing. (Should be noted to the guest if not up to par.)Waitress was not in the best of moods, but the waterway and company made up for it. Would definiely come again!!!"
Dined on 8/10/2013
"Our original party size was six, five ended up there. We were placed at a table for four with a chair at the head of the table near the main server entrance/exit to the outdoor seating area. Very heavy traffic. One dinner guest was accidentaly hit with a chair by a server who was moving it (the chair was not being scooted, the chair had been lifted in the air). Food was delicious - service left something to be desired. Staff was mainly young, but for the prices I expect a higher level of service."
Dined on 8/11/2013
"Despite our Opentable reservation, we were told there would be a 25 minute wait to sit outside. Instead, we could sit "on the patio." Don't be fooled. There's nothing patio-like or outdoorsy about this space. It was noisy, you could barely see the water (half the point in going there), and patrons outdoors seemed to receive more attention and service than we did. The food is very good, and we enjoyed our meal quite a bit. Unfortunately, the environment made it less relaxing than we had hoped. Definitely go if you can get seats outside. I've done that before and been immensely pleased with the view, the service, and the food. Indoors, not so much."
Dined on 8/10/2013
"Tourist trap. Very very loud - chairs scraping on the floor, babies crying, people shouting . . . And the noise echoed off the ceiling and walls. Our waiter took twenty minutes to take our drink order and another ten to bring them. Cobb salad was soggy, crab dip had little crab but lots of mayo. Rum drinks were overpriced and small but okay. The view of Ego Alley is the major plus but you don't have to go to Pussers to see boats in Annapolis."
Dined on 8/3/2013
"The main thing going for this restaurant is its fabulous location which is waterside with great views and boats moving right past the external deck. However the service was very slow (we were actually forgotten for 20 minutes after being seated and it wasn't busy) and the food was fair at best. I chose the 5 oz Fillet Mignon, cooked medium and was disappointed, the result being a rather sad, dry little brick. If you want a great view and you're in a group this is probably a good choice, if you are more focussed on good service and good food then this is not for you."
Dined on 7/31/2013
"Our group of six was unfortunately not able to get an outdoor table on a busy Saturday night, and the restaurant does not allow you to reserve a particular table. So the only way to get an outdoor table is to arrive early and stand in line. But the inside, although dark, is pleasant. All of us were happy with our food (except that I think I make better black bean soup than Pusser's!). Servers were prompt, accurate, and cheerful. There are a number of intriguing objects on display - a large masthead of a queen, two large models of ships from the 18th and 19th centuries, the model of the ship used in "The African Queen," a numerous photos of nautical subjects. All in all, a fun place. But wish we could have sat outside."
Dined on 7/28/2013
"Notwithstanding many open tables, we were seated close to a door where wait staff were constantly going in and out to outdoor seating area. Was very loud - more like a bar during a major game. Not a great place for a leisurely dinner. Food was distinctly average. Waitress, however, was very good ."
Dined on 7/20/2013
"Very pleasant even on a hot day to sit outside on the harbor in Annapolis and watch the boats go by. They had umbrellas to provide shade. We had two young kids with us and they provide kids menus with crayons which is a nice touch. My tuna salad was very nice and everyone seemed pleased with what they got. Our waitress, however, was not familiar with the menu and even admitted she hadn't even looked to see what the specials were. She told me the tuna salad was a piece of tuna on a salad but it wasn't, it was a mixed salad. We had to ask for dressing. The good news is that it didn't ruin our meal but it didn't speak well for the training. I would still recommend Pussers because of the location and the interesting menu."
