Skipper's Pier Restaurant & Dock Bar

Greeted by Hunter, who later was our server. Great service ! The food was good. We had fried green tomatoes and calamari for appetizers. Entrees were fish platter, crab cake, scallops, and burger. We had the cherry beignet, which was delicious. Would go back.

Absolutely excellent food, and a beautiful view. Our hostess, Gabby, was absolutely brilliant and really helped us with recommendations for both food and drinks. Would definitely go back again.

I stopped at another nearby restaurant claiming to be a good spot for food with a view. Glad I pivoted back here but a beautiful for filling personal celebration bite. Upscale version of sushi & it was amazing! $8 martini special.

This restaurant is unique. The food is delicious. Portions are pretty good sizes, and everything is fresh.
Waitresses are so friendly and explain every single detail of the menu with a great smile. The chef is really nice and friendly as well.
Restaurant is big with different areas and they are in front of the water with a beautiful view.

We just happened along the restaurant while we were sightseeing. A waitress came out to the parking lot while we were taking pictures and welcomed us in 40 minutes before the place opened and said we could order drinks before the kitchen opened. They have a little seperate area at the end of a pier that looks great for watching a game on their 8(?) TVs. We enjoyed drinks, appetizers, the view, and the service. The staff made it so nice and the food did not disappoint. I would highly recommend Skippers.

I’ve had a tasty lunch here before (amazing crab cake). What keeps me coming back though is the incredible waterfront views of the Tracy’s Creek and Rockhold Creek marinas opening into the Chesapeake Bay. Just wonderful stuff at sunset with that pier bar and a Corona in hand. True dock bars are a rarity in the DMV area these days and this one is true to form with an authentic locals vibe.

Great food and reasonable prices and the staff is very friendly and do a great job making sure you have everything you need. The outside deck was very pleasant as well.

This was a pre-birthday celebration dinner! Yum! We had an appetizer, entrées (as you can see), and my birthday gift dessert 🍨 was sherbet, which was yummy and a unique offering.

Beautiful south country waterfront with prompt and professional service and the best oysters I've ever had. Grapefruit crushes were also top notch. Varied menu accessible for vegan and vegetarian diners. We brought the dog and sat on the dock.

Loved this little gem! Quiet little restaurant right on the water, with a large deck overlooking the bay. The mussels in garlic sauce were perfect, oysters tasted so fresh they didn't even need any accoutrement, and the fried green tomatoes were paired perfectly with the garnish- very flavorful. I also recommend the classic orange crush- with fresh squeezed orange juice. We will return to try more items on the menu- it was really hard to pick as they had a lot of great dishes. Fast service and everyone was so friendly and eager to help with anything we needed.

I could not believe this restaurant was at the end of a housing development. Goals! I need to live here so I can walk here every day.

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by friendly servers. We asked to sit outside. We were seated at an excellent bench seat with an umbrella right off of the pier. It was a beautiful day and a lovely view.

We started off with a Caribbean Colada and an Orange Crush. I did not know Maryland was famous for Orange Crushes and now I know.

For appetizer we got the Fried Green Tomatoes and Chesapeake Crab Dip.

Fried Green Tomatoes

Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The tomatoes came topped with a shrimp salad, remoulade and grilled corn salsa. The combination was amazing. I was definitely not expecting the flavor explosion.

Chesapeake Crab Dip

The crab dip came with warm Bavarian pretzels. This was the best crab dip that I have ever had. I think it was the cheese. The soft pretzels were a great addition. Best crab dip ever and I've had a lot of crab dips.

It was so hard to pick an entree. We both decided on the same thing, the Mrs. Maryland. The Mrs. Maryland is a club sandwich consisting of a blue crab cake, Old Bay Shrimp salad, lettuce, tomato and smoky bacon stacked with toasted sourdough bread.

We were full and could only eat half of our club, so we took the other halves home to eat for lunch the next day.

We also the Double Chocolate Smith Island cake to go. Honey, when I tell you this was the most moist and chocolate filled cake ever, IT was the most moist chocolate filled cake ever.

I also took the Summer Strawberry Beignets home for my daughter and she said they were very good.

I enjoyed my food so much I went back the next day.

I have referred several satisfied friends and family members to Skippers Pier Restaurant and Dock Bar.

I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going back again really soon.

As locals, we absolutely love Skipper's Pier, and when it came to planning our wedding, there was no doubt in our minds that we wanted their fantastic food to be a part of our special day. Right from the start, Jessica was an absolute star. She guided us through every detail, even the ones we didn't realize we needed to consider.

Their catering menu is extensive, and they were incredibly accommodating when it came to our special requests. Since we didn't go for a traditional wedding venue, we needed plates, silverware, etc., and Jessica and her team took care of it all without a hitch.

When it came to the actual event, the timing of the food during the cocktail hour and reception was spot on. Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was. If I could, I'd give Skipper's Pier a perfect 10 stars – they truly made our wedding day even more special!

Great menu options and tasty food. Love the changing specials. And the desserts are reason alone to come to this awesome place. The water view helps to make every meal special. Pay close attention the the special multi course menus or the option to pick up a delicious pie around holidays.

Skipper’s the real deal and offering the trifecta , superb seafood, great staff and awesome drinks. Located at the end of Drum Point Road, this restaurant offers an unobstructed Herring Bay.

Came here with family for the first time and was asking halfway through dinner service when can we return next.

Great ambience and and kind wait staff.
Weekends are busy but the good weather days are well worth the wait.

Oysters and the king crab are delicious 🤤

❌ No Mac and Cheese. They literally boiled the macaroni and added grated cheddar cheese to it as it's hottest. It's sooo bad that it's worth ordering just so you can appreciate great Mac & Cheese

🐐 The crab clusters are 5 stars. The crab cake is 95% crab and delicious. The roast vegetables are excellent too.

👍🏾 The bucket drink. Hits the spot like no other.

Will be back, again. But won't ever order the soulless Mac & Cheese.

This restaurant was worth every second of the hour drive to get there! WOW! The restaurant it's self is updated and perfect, water view is everything you could want! Our service was excellent, attentive and friendly! The manager was so engaged and supportive of his staff. But the real star was our INCREDIBLE meal! We got oysters topped with crab, it was great! For an entree we ordered the Filet topped with crab and shrimp...it was out of this world!! Steak cooked perfectly, crab was delicious...I can't wait to come back! Plus they have their menu marked for gluten-free items so you don't even have to ask! Love this place!

The experience at Skipper's was amazing. The food and service was awesome. I had the oyster on half shell with crabmeat and cheese as a appretizer so delicious and the rock fish over fried green tomatoes so yummy. Their grapefruit crush was so delicious.

Skipper's Pier has always been a go-to. One bad experience Post covid-19 in June of 2020, But today they reclaimed themselves! We enjoyed The crab crusted oysters, maple pecan salmon, taste of the bay trio, apple cider beignets & the cheesecake stuffed bread pudding! The atmosphere is always a win!!

Just an incredible restaurant in a breathtaking location. I live in GA and discovered this place while I was in MD for business and I haven't found a better seafood restaurant since. I literally dream about the blackened crab cakes and miss them every day. I ended up going 3 or 4 times while I was there and even brought my family when they visited. Each time was better than the last. Great and fresh food with a fun but relaxed atmosphere! Seafood doesn't get better then skippers pier.
