“ So I took a chance the shrimp étouffée, I've been burned before... Army buddy married a Cajun girl and spoiled me on real Cajun cooking. Anyway, I took a chance and was pleasantly surprised. Absolutely amazing! The brown sauce was perfect, the vegetables were crisp,(so you know it didn't sit in a crockpot all day keeping warm), and the shrimp tails popped right off. In a word, perfection. The service, beer selection, and bourbon selection were also very very good. If you do not come here while in Cumberland Maryland then you have cheated yourself. Compliments to the chef! ”

“ They aren't lying by calling them the BEST damn crab cakes! Awesome service, good atmosphere and food is amazing. 10/10 we will be back! ”

“ It's a fully stocked bar, good selection of beers on tap. I had the New Trail Crisp Lager which was light and refreshing. Cream of crab soup very nice, full of sweet crab and a nicely spiced cream broth. My wife and I both had a traditional burger which was juicy and cooked to perfection. Fun and lively atmosphere. ”

“ The Cajun Catfish Strips is my go to dish. Always check out the specials!! Wonderful spot for lunch , Happy Hour or dinner. Great lunch service, I am here often so Beth can predict what I will order! ”

“ Really good cooking going on at this little eatery. We came to Cumberland Maryland to ride our bikes on the Allegheny Trail. Out of all the restaurants we went to during our stay this was our favorite. We had the Catfish Pontchartrain which was really delicious in a light creole sauce with peppers & onions. It came with a salad and the vegetable of the day which was a zucchini medley. The zucchini medley was sooooo tasty, I could've eaten a giant bowl of it. Got a side of rice and beans, which was very good and authentic, served with slices of sausage. A gem of a place. ”

“ A small bar currently in the middle of a construction zone. Friendly staff, all our food was delicious, and once the construction is done with will be much cuter outside the restaurant. Kind of hard to get to currently. Our wings were delicious, jazzy and mild cooked perfectly, fries yum and also the crab chicken sandwich !' ”

“ Must get reservations or you sit next to the door with cold air every time the door opens. The food was good, seafood OK not like the Eastern Shore of Maryland! The crab was a bit dry in both the cake and the oysters Gino. The Marsala was perfect! Taco salad was large and delicious. The roman-laude sauce was delicious as was the bourbon chicken. ”

“ This is an unassuming tavern on a street under construction in the historic district. But the dust outside did not come inside. (We did not opt for the outside tables in the sidewalk.) Inside is a classic pub, with dark wood, and a well appointed bar. The anomaly is that this old school tavern is staffed by a group of young people who are friendly and attentive. The seafood gumbo was good, with several types of seafood, and rich smokey andouille. The crab cake sandwich was exactly what we wanted on a trip through Maryland, and I uncharged mine with a side salad A good crab cake is meant to be eaten in a little hole in the wall tavern, and this is that kind of place. ”
