Rod 'N' Reel Restaurant

Superb Customer Service !! Decided an adult timeout would be great for a few days so Rod N Reel Restaurant and Cafe was the choice for me. First, the convenient parking garage was the foundation of the trip ;). I pulled up to the entrance of the garage and the arms were raised with signs reading FREE parking. Impossible for 4th of July but totally free :) ! Stopped in the restaurant and was immediately greeted at the entrance by an upbeat delightful hostess who promptly escorted me to a nice booth with the perfect view of the Chesapeake Marina. The view consisted of beautiful sailboats, patrons utilizing jet skis, and cruises full of vacationers quietly floating in and out of the marina. As I was in awe of my spectacular view my waitress quietly approached; in such a calm and peaceful voice she introduced herself and offered her services. I then ordered my meal which consisted of the All-American breakfast with Biscuits and gravy (I was super hungry alright :) ). Each dish arrived within 20 minutes; fresh and really tasty. I continued dining for at least 30 minutes. I stayed at the resort for the night which opened an opportunity to enjoy an evening meal at the adjourning café which there I enjoyed Crabby Fries and 8-Fried Wings all whilst the Karaoke Show took place on stage in front view of my umbrella covered table. I must say; this 4th of July has been outstanding all due to my decision to visit Rod N Reel Resort ;).

We decided not to eat dinner here because of reviews. We did go for lunch the next day and found the reviews were pretty accurate. We ate outside, it was not busy. The waitress was great. We ordered a Bloody Mary, it took a LONG time to get it and it was very average. They have a Caesar Salad and a Cod sandwich. I tried to get a Caesar Salad with Cod on it. They couldn’t do this. I ended up ordering the sandwich and ate it without all the Texas Toast. I did enjoy the fish. Nice ambiance but they need to work on all the stuff mentioned in the reviews.

Hadn't been to this restaurant for many years. It has grown and had more space under construction. They have turned the area into a resort with a hotel and spa.

Today on Memorial Day 2022 (5/30), my mother and I decided to leave home and honor my father, her husband who was funeralized on 4/14 ( which would have been his 80th birthday). We waited for over an hour before we got bread, spoke to owner and finally got served. This while 2 families were seated and ate before we did. My father loved coming to Chesapeake Beach and loved this restaurant. My mom and I finally ventured out to be relaxed. The food is always good, but this was the worse service in terms of the wait. We will be back and we expect it to be better.
