Clams Casino Carbonara
Oh my gracious it was divine! Flavorful, creamy, you could tell it was nice and fresh. Will have again when I come to Annapolis!
Crab Pretzel
To die for!! Perfect crab to pretzel ratio!
Jambalaya
Literally SO GOOD! 10/10 I absolutely loved it! Great if you love spicy food, its got a kick to it!
Local Oysters on the Half Shell
These are delicious and what a deal! We ordered 6 but had to order 6 more because my son ate most of the first order. Two nights before we ordered 2 dozen for 3 people and they were gone fast! I would ask for more horseradish though but I'm from Texas and we love spicy!!!!!
Shrimp & Grits
A Hidden Gem with Unforgettable Blackened Shrimp & Grits! If you're in Annapolis and haven't yet had the shrimp and grits at McGarvey's Saloon & Oyster Bar, you're seriously missing out on a culinary masterpiece. I've had shrimp and grits all over the South, but McGarvey's version just might be the best I've ever tasted --- and I don't say that lightly. From the first bite, it's clear the dish is crafted with care and top-tier ingredients. The shrimp were perfectly cooked --- plump, tender, and infused with flavor. But the real magic? That creamy, dreamy bed of grits underneath. Rich, buttery, and just the right texture, they melt in your mouth and serve as the perfect canvas for the savory, slightly spicy sauce that ties the whole dish together. Every bite is balanced, bold, and bursting with flavor. Add to that the welcoming vibe of McGarvey's --- historic charm, great service, and a view of the water --- and you've got the perfect dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor: order the shrimp and grits. You'll be dreaming about them long after the plate's clean. Five stars, without hesitation!
Local Oysters on the Half Shell
Couldn't get better oysters anywhere else but here! So fresh and delicious! And obviously for a great price.
W.T.F. Burger
Literally incredible! Felt so full after the meal, I was set for the rest of the day! Very messy but so very worth it
"Aviator" Fish & Chips
So good! Portion is big so maybe just get the two piece and not the three piece! So great. The fries are good but they are the battered one's. I like the other type better but theee are good too! All of their food is super tasty and the service is amazing. Our drinks were always refilled. Such an amazing place. I'm not surprised they are packed all the time!
Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl
So good! We had 6 oysters and then had to get 6 more because they were so good and my son ate the majority of the first round! We had the crab rangoons and this is the first time I've ever tasted real crab (other places do not taste like this!). I had the AHI Blackened Tuna appetizer for my meal which was perfectly cooked. The wasabi was spicy and there was a soy dipping sauce with it. My son had the aviator fish and chips and they were perfectly cooked. His fries were battered and I prefer the other fries they offer, but it wasn't my dish, so that's ok! But their other fries are amazing!!!! Service is impeccable! We were checked on without being intrusive and our refills for drinks were perfect. I was here for 3 days and visited twice so that goes to show you how much we like it!
Blackened Salmon BLT
I'm gonna start with the bartender. He was doing it all, Marty is his name. He was helping inside, and outside. Very impressive. Then the food. Delicious. The blackens salmon blt was juicy, flavorful and delicious. I told my family about it the next day and we already plan to go back for our next birthday outing! Can't wait.
