Capt. Pat’s @ Dennis Point is a quintessential Southern Maryland seafood destination. The restaurant has become a favorite for locals, boaters, and campers seeking a laid-back, waterfront dining experience.
The Vibe: Coastal Casual
The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming, designed for those who want to enjoy the breeze off Carthagena Creek. You’ll find:
Indoor & Outdoor Seating: Choose between the cozy dining room or the expansive outdoor deck and picnic area.
Waterfront Views: The restaurant overlooks the marina, making it a perfect spot to watch the boats come in while you eat.
Family-Friendly: It’s a popular stop for families staying at the campground or spending a day on the water.
The Menu: Fresh & Local
Capt. Pat himself is known for catching the local Maryland Blue Crabs served at the restaurant (typically available from April through December).
Seafood Staples: Beyond steamed crabs, the menu features lump backfin crab cakes, steamed shrimp, local oysters (raw or steamed), and snow crab legs.
The "Pick 'Em" Platter: A fan favorite that allows you to customize a seafood feast with options like clam strips, fish bites, and scallops.
Land Lovers: If you’re not in the mood for seafood, they serve high-quality comfort food like steak & cheese subs, half-pound burgers, and "Wing Dings."
Full Bar: The restaurant features two bars, serving cold beer and cocktails to complement your meal.
Good to Know
Seasonal Hours: Because it is located within a marina and campground, hours can vary seasonally. It’s always a good idea to "Call Ahead" (as their slogan suggests) to check for current hours or crab availability.
Accessibility: You can arrive by car, RV or boat, as the restaurant offers easy access via the marina.
