Me and my wife love this place. The atmosphere, food, and drink are top notch yet it's very casual. Our all time favorite go to place for lunch, dinner, or just a drink. The bay views are spectacular Year round.
The food was fantastic, the scenery and sunset couldn't be better from this location and the drinks were spot on. The sangria is made with a dry red just a heads up for those folks that like a sweeter sangria � still amazing.
We got the bacon and blue cheese bay chips, they were delicious! Then we got the bourbon glaze salmon and fried flounder. Unfortunately both were rather bland. Atmosphere is great, especially being on the beach! I'd definitely recommend. Just make sure you order what you know you'll like!
Great little seafood place right on the beach! Great service and even better food! I recommend the buoy nachos, bacon wrapped scallops (the mango salsa is to die for), seared tuna bites, and fish tacos. Don't forget to top it off with one of their signature crushes! Delish!
Fried oysters, awesome. Bourbon glazed salmon, awesome. My son had the crab cakes and they were supposedly awesome. Our waitress, Abbie, was also really awesome and really attentive.
The food they do serve is pretty good. They are missing a few bare basics off of the menu like mozzarella sticks and maybe loaded fries. They have such a great staff and awesome atmosphere. It is a very pretty and clean restaurant. Wish they had a few more choices on the menu like baked clams and a tuna steak. All in all, it's a very cool spot to check out. Even their valet team are all so friendly and nice!!
I've been coming here for a few years and after being out of the area for a while I visited again and it's nice to see that nothing has changed. The food is still exceptional and the atmosphere is outstanding. It's the perfect place for a casual meal with a view of the Chesapeake Bay. The service is great and the price is very competitive. It's roomy with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Most people wouldn't even know it was there because it's nestled in a residential area. I love their fish tacos and their fried pickle appetizers. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.
What a great place to get off the beach and take a break. Come for the food, stay for the view. Cool spot just dd the beach with fresh sea food and cold beer.
Indoor or outdoor dining gives options for your sun soaking level. Friendly staff and yummy food make sharing a plate of seafood nachos worth the visit.
Buoy 44 was delish! The only reason I’m not giving the food a 5 star is because they need to use better bread for the crab cake sandwich. Crab cake was tasty and had lots of crab. I always go for a broiled crab cake. The homemade chips were also great!
Fast service! And the view was pretty nice too!
We stopped at buoy 44 for lunch and had an amazing experience. Valet parking is convenient; sitting outside was lovely; food was yummy and the service was pretty good too.
I was bummed they were out of blackened salmon but we still loved our shrimp tacos and Baja fish (mahi) tacos.
This is a really nice local pub on the beach. I sat at the bar and had great service from Madyson (yes its with a y not an i). The drinks were on point and the Madyson knew what to recommend. I had the crab cake with fries and cabbage. I recommend it... I also had a spicy margarita which she put in a real glass and it was very good. If you like spice that is...
Although it was a rainy day, I enjoyed inside dining, but can't wait to hit that patio looking out at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Had a friendly server and started with the Buoy Nachos with shrimp, crab and some other great flavors!! Followed with crab cakes, salmon tacos, and flounder BLT!! My flounder was delicious and those NACHOS were soooo good!! I used my house-made chips to scoop the remaining nacho mixture!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
