    Cameron (our server) was great — efficient, timely and professional. southern greens starter was delicious. Old Fashioned was tasty— BUT the 8 oz glass came to me half full (and a lot of that was ice). There was about 1 oz of liquid. For $14, fill up that glass. We suggest ordering beer or wine. The rockfish entree was delicious (as was the asparagus). So was the chicken pot pie. Hostess was absolutely delightful .

    Jambalaya was excellent. Pretzel bread is yummy. Other entrees also were good. It was very busy and kitchen was working hard. Louder than usual but most tables were filled and thus to be expected.

    Came to the Choptank for my mother-in-laws birthday dinner. The food did not disappoint and the atmosphere made it delightful for her special day! Tyler our server was very kind, informative and funny. He made our experience the perfect day, especially knowing to bring out some dessert for the birthday girl.

    It was nice. My boyfriend had never been to any location. I have been to the camp springs location. They both were nice. I thought you could get breakfast all day, as I was in the mood for some breakfast food. My shrimp, rice and kale was bomb. I tasted my boyfriend’s steak and it was seasoned to perfection!!!
