  What! I can't believe I am the first to write a review...what luck.  I do feel bad because I never actually ate there.  Here's a little story that may interest anyone who may actually want to try Vera's
  My daughter and son-in-law, live in Calvert County and we have always been intrigued by this place.  The run down, ramshackle location of old, with it's scary swimming pool and the legend of "Vera".  We happened to see a story of New owners and the restaurant opening with all these specials and thought it would be our chance.  Our son-in-law was skeptical to say the very least.  So we were pleasantly surprised to see the place cleaned up and cheery (from the outside).
  Upon entering, you are hit with a smell, similar to Clorox mixed with old fish...(appetizing, huh?). The place is literally empty on Friday night at 7pm.  Where are all the people, from all the cars in the lot?  We are taken to our seats, which overlook a beautiful lake from huge glass windows. (can't be all bad!). Sit in our seats and you need a seat belt as they are so slippery you almost hit the floor. (varnish? grease?). The menus and the "specials" sheet of paper is grimy and spattered.  We are still determined.  So we sit and peruse the menu, and we sit, and we sit and we wait.  Mind you, the place is nearly deserted. The server is filling the salt, sugar, and pepper at the other (empty) tables. So we have studied the menu, slid off the seats, been totally ignored and our little party of 4 proceed to exit the premises.  NO ONE...says anything. We feel we were saved from certain dining disaster by the ghost of Vera.  Now, my son-in-law can really say,"I told you so" and I will totally agree!
