Save your money and go to schooners. Â This place is terrible. Â For a seafood place their food sucks. Â Maryland has tge best seafood in the wirld but this place doesnt. Â It is overpriced and tge service is terrible. Â Ordered crabs and had to send them back. Â The bew owners suck. Â They need to do another occupation. Â If you want good seafood go to crab claw in st. Michaels. Â The food is served cokd and soggy. Â Theur is definately no manafement. Â A shame because it has a beautiful view but terrible food.
Review Source:Cannot complain about this place.
We can take the boat over and dock for free, win.
They have outdoor seating with a great view, win.
They have $3 margaritas all summer, win.
They have a great beer selection, win.
They have tons of seafood, especially crab, which to a visitor is what you go there for, win.
Their crab cake sandwich is a giant hunk of tasty crab, lightly broiled and plunked on a roll which you can easily get rid of to eat solo, win.
They have grilled cheese for the kiddos, and kid-friendly cups and attitude, win.
Their service is prompt and friendly, win.
Downsides, they don't take AMEX, and the prices can be steep if you order lots of crab cake sandwiches. Oh and the fries are nothing to write home about.
Been there a few times now, and it's a solid place for tasty seafood in the area if you want to be able to boat to lunch quickly.
Oxford is a town that is short on dining options so restaurants like Masthead don't have to try too hard. Was just ok. We had the crabs and they were small and tasteless. They could have sold a lot more, ESP beer, if the waitress had ever come by to notice our empty cups. Also, they don't take Amex - and that's a pain.
Review Source:The two of us were sailing and motoring eastward on the Choptank River. We decided, rather than anchoring to eat what we had onboard, we'd patronize an Oxford eatery. Saw that The Masthead has free docking slips and is on the Tred Avon waterfront. An ideal combination. After we docked, we headed in to the air conditioned part of the restaurant. Though 'Taylor' was friendly, she only visited our table ONCE. The service was lousy. And, the 'fish and chips' were industrial-shaped deep fried frozen whiting served with out-of-the-bag fried french fries. Had to request cocktail sauce. We ate half of what was presented to us and headed back to the ship. We sailed from The Masthead nearly back to Herrington Harbour South.
Review Source:Truly awful service. Its like they have never worked in a restaurant before. I've eaten there many times because its convenient but I would never recommend it. Don't order anything from the steamed menu like clams or mussels because nine times out of ten they are cold. wtf cold mussels?
very surly employees as well.
