Phenomenal experience, service and food. Captain Billy's the actual restaurant is built on piers sitting in the water. We had the Perfect Couples Seafood meal - pound shrimp, four pieces snow crab legs, one side. All delicious and great price.
Ate here during the lunch time and wow, what a great experience. It's very spacious inside (was shocked!) and there is dock/covered patio seating. I wish I remembered our server name, because she was such a sweet older lady with curly hair with a bang. The hush puppies were great and they do give a lot. I enjoyed my crab-legs and half pound of shrimp with a side of french fries and cold slow paired with. The crab-legs had nice meat, although the fries weren't seasoned they were still good lol. My family and I will be back again!
If you're traveling down 301 and need a good seafood meal, very reasonably priced, with excellent friendly service right on the Potomac River, this is the spot for you! We had delicious fried soft shell crabs and fried oysters. Less than 5 min detour from your drive - and choose seating outdoors even if hot. Fans and shade made even 90 degrees enjoyable.
It's hard to separate the food from the view. But really, the view really stole the show. Hanging out on a Friday afternoon outside was lovely. I ordered a crabcake sandwich and corn fritters (with honey). The fritters reminded me of something you get from a carnival, but the crabcake was good. I wish more options were in season when I visited, but what they had available was still plenty good. But more than anything - sit outside!
Big portions food came out hot service was knowledgeable everything they had to offer very attentive I like the atmosphere being from Baltimore I'm very particular about my seafood and I was very impressed although they didn't have the Ravens game on lol I was in commander's town (Redskins),
