    Misleading menu, baked potato was listed as an included side. Waiter brought mashed potatoes instead stating they did not have baked potatoes. Prime rib came with slathered in garlic butter which I did not ask for. Overall a underwhelming dinner for all of us in the group.

    Busy place. Beautiful ambiance. Our waitress had alot of tables. At first it took a while to have her come to take our orders for beverages. Our appetizer came out at the same time as our crabs. Appetizers were good. Crabs were awful. Out of 2 dozen only 9 were ok. I will go back and try again with crabs later in the season.

    Let me start by saying I love this restaurant but the last experience makes me question going back. Our server was great, I ordered the Captain's Crab Boil and was totally disappointed. For starters, I didn't receive everything that was supposed to come in the boil. It was missing the broth and potatoes, second it was extremely cold. I talked to the manager and he offered to warm it up for me? I asked to order something else from the menu. I ordered the crab cake. Once that arrived, it wasn't hot it was luke warm at best. I proceeded to eat it and midway through it was ice cold in the middle. At this point I gave up and just asked for a box and would just eat it later. I was so disappointed and didnt want to complain because this was the first Mothers day gift that my daughter had paid for by herself.

    Unfortunately, we hit Skippers Pier on an 'off' night -- large party upstairs (no parking available even at 5 p.m.), Tuesday Crab night (we didn't come prepared to pick crabs) and no one could sit outside because of possible rain (never happened). So the dining areas were boisterous, loud. Our calamari appetizer was tough, the crab cake entree was all claw meat, fish popper basket was all the same brown fried color, and the shrimp and grits' had a wonderful sauce and large shrimp, but the grits were so hard they stayed in a big lump even when doused with the sauce. It was not a great night to be there to celebrate a 70th birthday. Overall, it seemed the kitchen was concentrating on the large event and steamed crabs and little attention was paid to our $$ entrees. The one bright spot was our waitress, she was attentive and pleasant.

    I had read that this was a "gem" in Deale, a small town with this restaurant sitting on the waterfront, as its name suggests. For full disclosure, it was Mother's Day, and I was 50 minutes late for a reservation that I had set for 3PM, to be seated OUTSIDE on the water/pier. I take full responsibility for being late, as I took my significant other to a nail appointment beforehand. However, I called and advised that I was going to be late, and was told that it was fine, only there would be others needing the seat at 5PM and I wouldn't have the luxury of spending as much time dining. That was fine to me, so I expected that - even while late - my outdoor seat was still reserved. When I got there, we were seated immediately but indoors, in a stuffy area in the back of the restaurant near the bar. I mentioned that I had a reservation for the outdoor area on the pier, but was suddenly told there was nothing available. I let that go, and continued on. Unfortunately, while our waiter was pleasant and polite, the drinks came way too slow for patrons seated next to the bar, and the food did nothing to overcome all of that. I had a crab cake sandwich - made with real lump crab but dry, flavorless and on a hard, borderline stale bun that was literally just pulled from a bag without being toasted or "dressed up" in any fashion. My girlfriend had the snow crab steam pot, which literally came out in a plastic tupperware style bowl with...well, crab legs and the sides resting in water. I have had steam pots and "boils" at many a seafood restaurant, and the lack of any "spice", "seasoning", or add-ons in Skippers Pier's steam pot astounds me. At the end of the date, it as an outrageous $125 bill and nothing to lure me to even think of returning.

    Beautiful location on the water. Great, reasonably priced food (fried oyster platter, fried seafood platter, beignets were all delicious). Server was wonderful but place was really busy and took forever to get food. We had a 7 pm reservation and were seated right away. It was 8.17, however, before our food arrived. Would definitely go again but do hope to have faster service next time.

    It was chilly in the restaurant, windows open and ceiling fans on high. Asked it the ceiling fans could be turned down or off and we were told no. Soup came out cold. Sent it back and it came back lukewarm.  Main entrées came out cold as well. Worst experience I’ve ever had there. Hope it was just an off night.

Guitarist just getting started when we were leaving. We wanted to stay and listen but time was not permitting. A really fine first experience.

    I ordered crab legs. Some were hot, most were cold. I didn’t bother to send them back. I took them home for later. The Maryland vegetable crab soup was very good. Not much crab in it. I’m glad I got the cup instead of the bowl. I would have been disappointed. I ordered oysters. When they came out they didn’t have the mignonette and was told they had none. That is something you should tell the customer as it’s on the menu so I sent them back. Then I was told “oh we can make some for you.” I kindly said no thank you. Pre pandemic this was a very good restaurant and the food was exceptional as well as the service. Post pandemic a lot of work needs to be done to bring it back to how it used to be. Out of 1-10, I give it a 5. I will return because I’ve always like this place, so I’ll try it again soon. If it disappoints I will not return.

    Despite the great food and the great service, we found it rather disappointing that the restaurant allowed us to make a 5:45 pm reservation when they are planning to close the kitchen at 6 pm. We felt rushed. The dishes came out with missing items, and no desserts were available after we finished our dinner because the kitchen staff was already gone home. The management/ owner should end reservations at least one hour before the kitchen closes.

    Come here 4 years ago and it was great but this place has gone down hill big time. Several items on the menu they didn't have, tables, chairs and floor are filthy, they let kids run around at empty tables and play like its a daycare. NEVER AGAIN! Chalk it up to poor management.
