Pack your patience
It's a good place to meet nice and interesting people. It's kinda small so you have to get there early to get a seat and good parking. Food is great.
This place is amazing. Its culturally sound. And the food is great. If you're looking for a vibrant night this is your destination.
Excellent service and the food was delicious.
Food was good and service was good as well. Just a little too nosy for me but it was Friday!
Great drinks, great food, outstanding band. Best party atmosphere. Had a fantastic time.
The. Music. was. Great, The. Food.....Okay ?
The food is very good here, it is superb. However the decor could use a little touch up. It just needs a little uplift little work in different places I noticed. The servers and the greeters are very professional and very attentive. There is a man however that's a front door that was not very pleasant. Because of that man I don't think I would go there to eat again.
The best thing on on broiled seafood platter were the French Fries.. Even the beer was flat.
Wonderful I ate too much and I brought a plate home
I absolutely love this place. The best food and drinks.
If you remember Chesapeak Bay Seafood House hush puppies, try theirs!!
Real rating: 4.5 stars... There is lots to love about this place. This was my first visit. The atmosphere was great. The band (Thursday-Saturday) was entertaining. Hostess & wait staff were friendly. Drinks were well made. Bartenders were a little slow at the bar (20 minutes to get a drink), but the place was packed. The food came out relatively fast and was good quality (3.5 out of 5) with the best part being the roasted red potatoes and spinach medley. The women's restroom was clean. The huge parking lot was filled. Overall: I know I'm going to enjoy this place a lot in the future.
Good food, drinks and music.
The food was awesome but the drinks on the other hand boot leg I ordered a top shelf margarita and they used cheap liquor I was sick off one drink and I dont mean drunk the onset was almost immediate!
We arrived about 8:30 PM on a Friday night, and the place was standing room only. We were told by the host that there was a 2 hour wait. Luckily, we got seats at the bar after about 30 minutes. The DJ was good and the band was good as well until they got stuck on Debarge songs. We stayed about two & a half hours, and was never contacted from the waiting list. The food was so so. My advice is "Get there early - if you decide to go".
Great food, music, and drinks, but the service was awful. We had to go find our waitress serval times and the owner was drunk and rude when we asked about our drink.
Not the worst place I've been too, but not the best either. One of our servers was training, but could have had a much better attitude. Really could have done without the eye rolling, especially since it was our first time eating there. Also, instead of standing around talking, our servers could have actually served our food in a timely manner and checked our table without me having to get their attention. The food is way overpriced for what you get, including the alcoholic drinks ($11 for a small daiquiri). You get very little of the main item you order (i.e. fish, shrimp, scallops), but plenty of sides. The hush puppies were hard/tough, cold and very greasy. The onion rings were the best thing I had there, although also very greasy (it was dripping down my fingers). The person I was with asked for their veggie well done, but it was still very crunchy. Also, the soup she asked for sat so long (they forgot she asked for it), it had a skin on the surface by the time she got it. All-in-all, it was an ok place at best. Definitely won't be going back!
Great service help tasty food .
I admit that I only ever order the Fried Oyster Sandwich, but the price is less than everything else?! Comes with an abundance of oysters, overflowing actually, and fresh LTO(red), the fries are cooked perfectly, coleslaw is fresh and tasty, and served with all the sauces you need without having to ask. Only thing I’d recommend is some real habanero hot sauces (tabasco is so yesterday). Great service and no lines at lunch...can’t beat it!
Lawd knows the wait is long but it’s well worth it. The House Band is everything, the food is always good, and I haven’t had a bad drink there yet. Good Clean Hair Sweating Fun, and First Lady can sing her tush off. The hostess is a sweetheart and our waiter D is top notch ❤️ him!!!
Late lunch (2pm) and the food was good, not crowded and the staff was great and attentive.
They serve my favorite dish...shrimp salad in pitas bread combination platter.
I love this spot especially the one in VA. The atmosphere is fun and very busy
Clean and pleasant atmosphere. Food served hot. Waitress very friendly and has patience while we were deciding on your order.
Good food good drinks, loved the margaritas that's what I think.
Our waitress was amazing her names begins with a T
Great and fast food service. Seafood tasty, hot and plentiful.
Great music and atmosphere, food sucked all seafood and huspuppies were soggy sitting in a plate full of spinach juice. Nothing had seasoning.
Be it lunch, Happy Hour or dinner the food here is great!
Love this place. Average 2+ hours. Great band. Great food. Intimate setting or family.
Great bar scene! Lively crowd! Lotsa fun!
Great people, great service, great food!!!!
Food was good! Server was slow!
Good atmosphere, great band, good food!
I happened to attend on a Friday night for a friend's birthday celebration with the live band playing. I must say that although I didn't know what to expect, it turned out to be a great experience. I had gotten a platter which was good with spinach, which was amazing. Laughs, perfect drinks, and even a "Happy Birthday" was sang to the woman of the hours. If I were not with a big party, it would have been hard to find seating because of how packed it was and then again after a while you would find most people out of their seats grooving to the music. I will say based off of majority of the faces I seen, familiar and unfamiliar, were satisfied with their experience.
Visited last night 8/25/18. Did know what to expect. Was really impressed. Good food mature crowd. The band was awesome. Definitely will go back again.
Nice atmosphere, Live Band, Impromptu Karaoke, Soul Train Line, Fresh Seafood, Nice mix of people
First time. Atmosphere was pretty good. I met a group of friends there. it's more of a mid to late 40s and up crowd. Music was good, atmosphere was good if you like crowded places. I didn't eat but everyone else said their food was good.
Love this place food good band had a ball with my sister and niece
I've been here for Wednesday meetings and decided to come back to see how it is at night. I loved the night vibes!!!! The House Band was Awesome!!! Drinks were on point! Food was Great!!!!! It was a bit of a wait for a seat with a last minute reservation, but it was sooooo worth it!!
Shrimp and Scallops "New Orleans" dish was delicious!
I went to lunch here with my husband today. Service was bad and food was worse. Normally they have the best clam chowder, but today it was watery and tasted like either vinegar or lemon juice was poured into it. We couldn't believe it, but ate it instead of waiting for someone to finally come to are table, plus my husband hates to complain. Thinking it wasn't going to get worse, they brought out hard bread with margarine, not real butter. Then she brought out my stuffed shrimp. Omg, the crab smelled rotten and tasted awful!! That went home to the outside animals. I hope they aren't dead in the morning! I could tell you more, but I've said enough. Good luck with your meal. It has to be the worse food I've tasted in my 60 years!!
I wish I could give negative stars. There is a huge difference between the service at the location in Old Towne compared to this one. One of the managers (bald, African American, salt and pepper beard, tall, slender) treated me and my guests like we were nonpaying customers or worse He was obviously drunk when he started an argument with us over a chair that one of the ladies in our group was sitting in He asked her to get with no explanation and took the chair away. When we asked why, he claimed to own the restaurant, he moved the chair and didn't need to explain himself. When the people sitting with him tried to calm him down he went over to some other guys to point us out as if he was going to start a fight. We paid our tab and left. A drunk manager is very bad for business. I hope he gets fired immediately because when I told some regulars what happened they too had a similar experience with him.
Reserved a table for one month in advance because relatives were visiting from out of town and I wanted them to have a nice dinner and music. We ordered appetizers first and then our meal. We ate our meal and then the band was getting ready to play. The waitress came over and said "I know you are your meal and been here for a minute but people are waiting to get in so if you are staying for the band it will be a 2.00 charge per head to hear the band. I couldn't believe that! That wasn't explained when I made the reservation, it wasn't explained when we was seated, it was only explained when the band was getting ready to play. Very unprofessional, that's not good business. I have waited a hour for a search and everyone else has to do the same! No one should be told that they have to leave or be charged 2.00 per head to listen to music after they spent their money to eat and waiting for the band. They will lose customers!!
The food had no Taste. I had the Admiral platter. And was Cold.
Nice atmosphere. Great live band and good food
Great food. A nice band Wed-Sat. Very crowded though. You need to get there early or there will be about an hour wait on weekends.
We had a bow at the fish market love the atmosphere the band was wonderful and the food was great.
Very nice and the house band is all of it
Love the fish market go every Saturday
Great lobster deal.... which was very tasty. The staff was warm and welcoming. We had a great time.
I had a ball...nice crowd, friendly and professional staff. Live entertainment awesome.
Good food! Friendly staff. Really made us feel welcome (even though us biker's kinda scared them a bit when we walked in).
Awesome food and atmosphere... Service was sincere, but overall lacking
The service was horrible. We sat for 30 minutes before a waiter came & when our food came, it was cold.
Love Love Love this place!! Food drinks customer service=10 stars!! And the band?!?! OMG!!! I'll be a regular for sure!
I usually go here with my friends and enjoy decent food and drinks. Until recently I was greeted at the door by this older lighter skinned man in a suit supposedly counting people, with an offensive unwelcome. He told me I was not allowed to come into the bar with the shirt I had on and continued to harass me about it. I had never had any confrontations about any of my clothes when I go here until now. I reported it to security, and to my amazement, they said the owner (sherry) doesnt want women dressing a certain kind of way because of the way men act with gestures and touching. I'm not going to even touch that topic, my point is what I was wearing is something I could wear to red lobster. My friends and i travel from Woodbridge va and easily drop $200 per visit. I have never been offended by any of the other customers in the 10 years I've been going there. And the one time I am it's by an employee. Will I go again? No. We will kindly take our business elsewhere.
Live entertainment. Good music. Fun place. Friendly staff and owners. Lots of bars. Everybody is having fun. Great for a weekend night out. If you can take the noise and the crowd, you and your friends will enjoy this place.
Wings are good. Happy hour mode.
Quite possibly the worst place I've ever been in. They were literally five people in the restaurant and four sushi makers, yet I waited 1 hour for sushi. The waitress never came back over to see was everything okay or if we need anything, assembly explain what the long wait is for. And it wasn't just me com there were two people there before us and who waited twice as long as we did. Avoid at all cost.
Loved the crab cakes bought wine at 5 pm n got I got $25 in one's as change for a $100 bull
So enjoyed myself and the House Band! The food was delicious too.
Food was great.
Good vibes && the Prime rib dinner is always on point!! Fruit of the sea pasta sooo good. Never stingy with the seafood in it.
I had the mussels with red sauce and they were delicious.
The food drinks are great, the atmosphere is laid back sports bar.
I'm at the place now as a guest of one the musicians and I'm settling behind the band next to a table, the waitress came over about eight times and not once asked if I wanted anything. Little do she know she his missing out on a great tip. I even tried to get her attention. I'm not even going to let her know who I really am.
Great Food an the Staff is very friendly
It was nice but they don't have enough parking or seating
Great local seafood restaurant. The food is great, good friendly service, prices are reasonable, drinks are superb, and The House Band is very good. I love this place!
My favorite place nice spot drinks on point food good I love it
Food was decent but overpriced considering all the other factors that diminish the quality of this establishment. Seating was frustrating as we had a group and one of the waitresses started fussing because our party required two tables, one of which was in another waiters "section". Apparently the girl was mad because she wouldn't get the money for our entire table. The furniture and overall look of this place is outdated. Parking was tight although abundant (we went on Friday during happy hour). The bar offerings for happy hour sucked. They have a live band that starts playing at 9. I left early but some of our group stayed behind and said they were good.
Had a great time. The band changed their musical routine which was a plus
Great place for happy hour and the fried wings are delicious!
Food was delicious and was greeted by the chef
Entertainment , food and Mature crowd was great!
Lovely place,excellent food
Pretty good. The hostess and the waitresses were friendly. I went during the day before the band's get started but I may go back to listen to them sometime
Food is ok nothing to write home about, live band is good but too loud for my taste. I like to be able to hear what the person sitting next to me is talking about but it's very difficult.
Down home atmosphere, excellent service and the food taste like the went to the back and picked the seafood out the ocean. Loved it ...
Awesome service, and food. Our Holiday Inn Express driver recommend this spot, and we were all pleased with the quality of the food, service, and friendly environment.
The host was wonderful and the market ts really Clea. The food is amazing.
The food was over cooked and cold. I was very disappointed. Shrimp cocktail was room temperature and rubbery, Fried food was fried so hard we couldn't enjoy it. So mad. Drinks was so so. We came from philly and heard this so a great place. I
Always delicious and great service!
I love this place. Even though I haven't been there in quite some time, every time I go back there is a different experience to be had. The first time that I went it was for my 21st birthday and my father surprise me cuz all my friends and loved ones were there. And I had no idea how great the food was how strong the liquor was and how friendly the people were. But when it turn to 9 the house lights went dim, and the Band came on to play. The owner was on the drums. And because my birthday was in November we saying a couple Christmas songs to get us in the mood for Christmas. I loved it so much so I had to go back again and this time take my friends. So when my 26th birthday came around. I went back and this time I brought my friends and this time it was later in that night. So I could not get a table by the band oh, and we had to park across the street because even though parking and table reservations are free by the band. You still needed to get there early because it would be packed because it's just that awesome. I recommend the crab dip. And if you are a Beer Drinker they literally have a goblet of beer. I want to say around 6 you will be too late and it will be starting to get packed. So come early like for happy hour and stay throughout the entire night. I would recommend this place on a Friday so if you happened to either get lucky, or drink too much you don't have to worry about getting up and going to work in the morning. I absolutely love this place and I need to go back soon.
Great service good food
Great local place with good service and great food.
I love the food. I love the drinks. But this new dress code is ridiculous. No sheer shirts or No crops tops. I'm sorry where am I at? It's summer time. Disappointing I had to leave because my shirt was sheer with the appropriate undergarments. So my party left and went somewhere else. We went celebrate my brothers birthday. Rubbed me the wrong way.
Gteat food. Great vibe. Great prices.
Good service, yummy food, nice and grown atmosphere
Great food Great band great service
We had to wait 2 hours before we sat down. They need to expand!
Went on a friday night food was great, the air was not working to good. House Band was cranking. Other than the air it was good. Go early for parking as the parking is not good.
Me and my party got there as soon as the doors open 11 am Sunday morning. The waitress Tina was fabulous she didn't skip not one beat being as though we were the first customers seated in her section. She was very nice and attentive. I ordered the catfish nuggets, fries, Chardonnay and a bloody Mary. OMG!!! Everything what's hot full of flavor and tasty. This was including the drink(bloody Mary) was spicy ad perfect. Thanks fish market and Tina! Two
We are from out of town and stopped in for dinner. It was okay. My family of 5 ate a variety of foods. Husband ate shock and awe shrimp and they were good but it was only six shrimp, so not a good value. My oldest ordered the chicken sandwich with hush puppies. He said it was very dry. But the 8 year old enjoyed it. There is no children's menu. I had a steak quesadilla. The flavor was fine but the steak was meant for a philly cheesesteak, it was weird. The 8 yr old didn't like it either. My middle son got the boatload (burger), it was a little over cooked but he's not picky so he enjoyed it. The boatload was a good value with a burger, fries and onion rings. The service was so so as well. We had to ask for refills after being out for 25 mins. Servicer was polite.
Love this place. Owners are very cool people! Makes everyone feel welcome!
Good food. Nice ambience
The House Band is awesome. The food is good!
Food was okay, a small portion for the money. This establishment needs some additional staff, service was slow.
The service was decent. The food was mediocre borderline nasty. The drinks are good but too expensive. For example $20 Parton margaritas. No happy hour menu. I had crab cakes and fries they gave me more coleslaw than crab meat OR fries.
I'm giving the clam chowder 1 star, that's because extremely peppery (black pepper). I've had their catfish, is yummo...
I received excellent customer service!
The food was delicious. I had the cream of crab soup and the broiled combo platter before always a favourite. It was lunch time quieted but enjoyable for me.
Not what it use to be. Chicken wings were old. The Cadillacs are pre-made & sharon harasses everyone but out. Only one good male waiter & we didn't get him. 3 stars were for the hush puppies
The menu has changed the food is not that good anymore the muscles were very tough and chewy and the proportions didn't equal the cost there was someone doing hair at the bar and there was a lot of loud talking that really bought the atmosphere down.
Nice local spot. Atmosphere was welcoming. Food fresh but very lite on seasoning. Server, William Hamlet, great service.
Good food , very busy on a Saturday night. Live band , good music. Food takes a bit but being its soo busy its understandable. No watered down drinks!! Lol enjoy!
Visited during a non-peak time to place a take-out order. Waited patiently for someone, anyone, to acknowledge a waiting customer. No one so much as said, "I'll be with you in a moment." Tried to solicit a non-commercial business, but service was poor. Won't be back.
I can't wait to go back for a late lunch or dinner again soon. The restaurant was a little loud but it was comfortable and the decor was very nice. The service was great. They didn't have everything I wanted but were able to provide tasty alternatives. I didn't have a drink but my friend said they certainly did not hold back at the bar. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did
The band was pretty good towards the end and drinks were great
V makes the best drinks and is good however hit or miss at times still a great place for a quick bite and good drinks
Always a great time! Love the food! Love the people! Love this place!
OMG. First time here. Had an awesome time. Great food. Great music. Loved it ❤️
Good drinks that aren't watered down, decent food, and great live entertainment. The service can be slow because it is always so crowded. But, I usually have a great time!
Laid back. House band is good.
It's a lot of fun. Always crowded. Great drinks.
The food was a very good quality when I last visited about 1 yr ago but today I went to get 2 captains platters and the food was very poor quality. Mostly overcooked and dried out. It was more like a bread platter. Meaning that the seafood was almost more bread than meat and small amounrs of seafood but tons of hushpuppies and fries. Idk who their vender or their chef/cook is or what's going on with management and budget issues but poor quality will NOT get many returned visits. Maybe they're relying on liquor sells to carry them through and cover overhead but overall I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. The cashier and host was nice though.
Ups and downs. This place tried to be something its not. An upper class 4 star when its a middle class 3 star family restaurant where the old folks can break loose. Good music. Great foods and fun but trying to shut out the community they built themselves in. Which is disappointing with its potential. It is a fun place with great atmosphere and false grandeur. I was turned away at the door twice. Disrespected. But i have family and friends working here, so i did attempt to go again despite this and it was good.
Very busy. Does not appear to have enough employees. They have to run all over the restaurant. My service was fine. Had to wait for someone to be behind the bar. Oyster sandwich is delicious. Plus they were out of Miller Lite draught.
Food is still good, but I noticed that the portions where smaller. I guess hard times are hitting the Fish Market too.
Nice place for a get together or romantic dinner because they have a house band that is pretty decent .
Great food.... great music... awesome drinks....
Dive bar with lots of square footage and a funky band. Taste bud fulfilling M.D Seafood with plain jane drinks and beer.
Get the shrimp bayou pasta, out of this world.
I love this place and the food is always great! We had the broiled admiral's platter that was cooked to perfection and filling. Wished we were visiting on a night the house band plays. The Fish Market Restaurant is my favorite spot in Clinton, MD !
I mean, it's like the Cheers of Clinton. It's old, the fixtures and decorations show that easily. The food is ok......nothing to write home about, but not horrible either. The fried oysters are usually pretty good. The drinks are good and strong and don't cost an arm and a leg and the service is friendly. There are mostly regulars in the bar area for happy hour, so get there early if you want to sit there. All in all, it's a good, familiar friendly place to meet a friend for a drink and an appetizer.
Didnt think the seafood was all that great
,Love the atmosphere, music, drinks, food and people...
Local hang out spot, really good seafood.
Local spot that has been around for years. Strong drinks and good food..
Always good food, service and adult beverages
Food is very good, good atmosphere, good time!
BEST SEAFOOD ND HOME SPOT IN THE CITY #HANDSDOWN
I loved it! Had a great time! Celebrated my sister's birthday there. Service was a little slow as far as being served but once the waitress took our order, it was smooth sailing. The food was great! The waitress was pleasant and the House Band was outstanding! If you don't mind being seated a little close to another table, good food & good music THE FISH MARKET RESTAURANT IS THE PLACE FOR YOU,! I will definitely revisit.
The drinks were great, the food not so much. Had the Crab dip and it was horrible. Watery and pasty with white bread not toasted...disgusting. Ladies next to me had wings that looked appetizing but I was scared to order anything else!
Fine food. Good regular crowd. I always have fun when I go there . Come out and have a good time. I should be there.
Friendly service and good food but in the atmosphere is rather loud due to music and a talkative bar crowd. I recommend asking for seeding far from the bar or ordering takeout. There is a separate room in which the noise is greatly reduced however it is almost never open during dinner.
It was nice. They have live bands. The band was pretty good the music was nice and I bartender was pretty good. It started getting crowded around 10 but we still had a good time because we had a booth to sit in. It's standing room only starting around 9 p.m. some people just keep coming in and it ended up being so crowded that they stand in front of your booth. Still had some time though
Kool
My family and I can't wait to visit again from Richmond Va. The food and drinks were exceptional, the customer service was like down home ..our waitress was very humble & sweet, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. The House Band definitely rocked the place is most definitely a must see, they can play any and everything!!!! We loved the set up and cleanliness of the place, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
If you like live music, older crowd, decent food and stiff drinks, this is your place.
Overall ok food. Service a little below par however the beers are nice and large in size. Price for the food was fair however nothing to Rave about. Was hoping for more exciting menu but it's a pretty standard. The setting is more like a nightclub. Could be exciting if you were out on a date? Decor was a little dated. Didnt use the bathroom so cant say much about that. I had the admirals plater...didnt fill me up so was a little disappointed. Didn't even bother to take pictures
Noticed this place 2 yrs ago - always filled parking lot & long lines. Finally attended a bday party here. Now I know why this place is so popular! The house band rocks!
I really enjoy this place. The live music and social climate are good. They need help with wait staff.
Delicious food, friendly employees. Could definitely use a decor update. Will go again.
I had seafood soup and it tasted good It had the same consistency as chicken soup which was exactly what I was looking for. The waitresses were courteous and pleasant. I went there lunch time and I enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant.
Music was horrible tonight. I'm just saying. For me it not for me I need up beat no go-go all night. The house band was dead tonight.
I love this place. The food and people are so amazing. Oh and I almost forgot the live band these guys are great.
Fun selections and live music. Surf and turf was okay- (NY strip was thin but tender). Prices for dinner were high. Potato side tasted smoked and very buttery. Stuffed shrimp was less shrimp then crab stuffing. Margarita was strong and sassy. This meal was not worth $120. We had higher expectations at a place in such close vicinity to the coast. I've had better seafood at Red Lobster in the Midwest of the country and it cost us half the price. Also need to note the bathroom looked like there had been a crime scene in there. Dirty dirty dirty.
Local watering hole. Great drinks and same faces every single week. Definitely can catch your husband, mate cheating in this spot
Omg! Salty is all I can express! The food was waaayyy to salty! Not enough shrimp for what I paid for and the salmon and the Little shrimp that I had was sooo salty. I’m not used to that.
Fish was not fried hard enough but they replaced it. The atmosphere is good but the lightning is bad could barely see food on plate. I would give it another chance because my husband likes catfish but that's why I give 1 star
Great place to wind down, music is good not over powering and still can have conversations!
Excellent drinks and the live band ....Wow
Fried shrimp are great. Stay away from the spring rolls.
