The Shanty

Zada Hall

Some dishes were fantastic, others not so much. Overall, not a great meal for the price. The local oysters with shallot mignonette were very fresh and good, as was my crab cake sandwich with Old Bay fries. My boyfriend’s fish tacos, on the other hand, were extremely underwhelming. The tortilla tasted bland and old and there was so much hot sauce added that it completely overpowered the taco. Although the fish was well cooked, you couldn’t taste the blackened seasoning because of the hot sauce. Not a balanced taco. Even the tortilla chips were stale with a weird, bitter aftertaste. The best thing on that plate was definitely the guacamole. The service was fast and friendly, but we did leave feeling a bit disappointed.

The Shanty has gone $$$ unfortunately food quality hasn’t kept up. The $16 tacos featured a tiny bit of meat and a trace amount of “Asian slaw” and the “guac” was maybe made yesterday but probably a day earlier. The tuna burger had an okay piece of tuna, but the there was definitely something wrong with the ginger. The fries are always tasty. If you’re going to spend $100 on lunch with three people you can find better places. Do go here for the views and sunsets definitely worth it.

Great atmosphere near the water! We had a big party & wait staff was very accommodating. OMG burger was good. Awesome pork belly. Crab dip, fish and chips, clam chowder excellent!

We ate at The Shanty twice. We ate there for lunch and knew we had to go back for dinner the night before we left The Eastern Shore. The staff was wonderful and we had the best seafood on the Eastern Shore. The batter on the fried shrimp, oysters and scallops was the best. The old bay seasoning on the fries was a pleasant surprise also
