“ The crab dip bread bowl was a perfect appetizer to share with a party of 4. Toasty bread bowl filled with a creamy cheese crab mixture. Nice spot along the water. ”
“ The perfect place to bring family and friends for seafood and wonderful atmosphere. They are more expensive than a crab shack, but it is worth it for the experience. Seating faces the waterfront and gets a beautiful sunset view. Looking out over the Chesapeake Bay while eating their famous Waterman’s crabcakes and steamed Maryland Blue Crabs are a favorite of all the locals! The outdoor patio is lively in the summer with music playing and an outdoor bar. Indoors is nice for a more upscale setting. ”
“ What a great dinner! I was in Chestertown for business and need to eat. I saw this place on Google maps and gave it a try. Glad I did. I arrived just before sunset. Got some nice pictures. I had a great waitress too. I went with the cream of crab soup and pan seared scallops. For dessert I had a slice of key lime pie cheesecake. Everything was delicious. Zero complaints! If I'm ever in the area, I know where I'm eating! ”
“ Dinner for Mother's Day at Waterman's was great! We were seated immediately. Our server was very attentive and helpful in helping us choose our entrees. I ordered the potato skins topped with crab dip. Great taste, just could have been a little warmer temperature wise for me. We ordered a basket of rolls. They were served warm allowing the butter to melt. My main entrees was Seafood Norfolk (shrimp, scallops, crabmeat in a white wine creamy sauce). My side was a house salad and it was served with two pieces of garlic bread that tasted like they had a hint of lemon. My dinner companions ordered cream of asparagus soup (appetizer), crabcake with baked potato, Caesar salad. The other meal was crab melt that came with fries, added a house salad. Portions were nice size. We sat inside but had a great view of the water. ”
“ A few friends and myself went to Waterman’s to get some dinner and it was great. We drove there and they had great parking and a great view outside by the dock. It was raining that day so we sat inside but the outside deck feature looks cool. Everyone ordered their drinks and appetizers. The crab dip was good. Two of my friends got the crab pots which looked good, but I got the king crab legs. They were phenomenal- next time I go to MD I’m stopping by this place for the king crab legs. ”
“ An amazing seafood place in rock hall with a view of the bay! I really enjoyed my crabs and drinks. Had a great atmosphere with live music and the staff were really nice and accommodating. I will be back to chow down on a ton of more crabs. I highly recommend this to anyone in the eastern shore in the Upper Bay Area for lunch or dinner! ”
“ We got take-out for 13 and would definitely come back! The seafood was delicious as expected, from crabcakes to fried oysters to flounder. For the non-seafood eaters, chicken sandwiches were a hit, and all side dishes were equally yummy. The service was quick, friendly, and even accommodated customizations accurately. Highly recommend! ”
“ Our waitress was fantastic. She had the best personality and was very attentive. Brenda gave us the scoop on local places and recommended some fantastic items on Watermans menu. Will be back! ”
