1st time at Mike’s and it was everything I expected. Great spot to go to on the water, chill to get away from the city. Service was on point, food was on point. Enjoyed everything.

Had the rock fish bites pp. Honestly it reminded me of fish patties out of a package. They were a bit soggy and mushy. The view is good. Wish they did a happy hour it was pretty slow..

01/18/2025- Awesome! Delicious! Kudos to our server Ms. Jordan! Our family was at Mike’s in Annapolis to celebrate the 13th birthday of our love one! We had appetizers, beverages and meals! Not too busy, not crowded, no waiting, immediate seating, fast ordering, gas service, there were five(5)of us! We had a good time! Food was yummy!!!

I took my Mother, my wife and my daughter to Mike's on Mother's day. Drove an hour to get there and then waited two hours to get seated. It was our first time at Mike's and won't be our last. It was well worth the wait. The food was outstanding as well as the service. For a restaurant that was as busy as they were. They handled it with ease. The food was so fresh and hot. Couldn't of had a better experience!

Always have a great time here. The wait can be long on nice days. This particular time, we were quoted 45min for outside and got the text about 20min later. Fresh seafood is perfect on a warm summer day in Maryland!

Came for lunch on a Monday. Very relaxed setting and a nice patio. The crab cake was excellent, very big pieces of crab! I got the broiled cod sandwich as recommended by our server, Cheryl, and it did not disappoint. 10/10 for those crispy fries! Service was very friendly and I’m looking forward to coming back for whole crabs soon.

Mikes was on our minds all week. We Arrived Saturday evening to a 1-1.5 hour wait for indoor and outdoor seating. Saw a few seats at the bar and decided to sit there instead but the hosts didn’t offer that as we almost left. Thanks to Nick and Nick at the bar, our experience was exceptional. Will be back soon - AT THE BAR

Great atmosphere situated beside the water. Food was savory and hot. Service was superb. I’ve heard the wait can exceed 2 hours but fortunately we were seated immediately. Definitely will return.
