“ This place was recommended by several locals in St. Michaels when I was visiting today and so I decided to take their advice and try it! They said it was owned by locals and patronized by locals and I definitely prefer those type of places over the touristy places which tend to be overpriced and overrated. I definitely made a good choice when I decided to come here! I was promptly seated and waited on. My server Abbey was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the seafood platter and added a soft shell crab with it. It came with oysters, flounder, crab cake, scallops, and shrimp also. Portions were very large and I ended up taking the other half home. Everything was excellent perfectly cooked snd seasoned and fresh. Best I’ve had in a long time! Very reasonable prices. I definitely recommend this place and will definitely come again when I’m in the area. ”

“ Absolutely loved our 6 month dinner date. This place is absolutely amazing! Best cream of crab in the state, but also probably in the entire world. Chicken Chesapeake was absolutely amazing & so was the crab dip pretzel! Staff was very friendly & amazing. I’d definitely recommend the food for sure. For me, it’s a special occasion place. ”

“ Chesapeake Landing is a St. Michaels landmark, a true destination for anyone craving an authentic Maryland seafood experience. Located just outside of the downtown area, it's a bit of a drive, but well worth the trip. We visited on a winter Friday specifically for their renowned weekly seafood buffet, the details of which are cleverly announced on their active social media channels. Our particular Friday feast included unlimited crab cakes, fried oysters, raw oysters, oyster casserole, oyster stew, fried shrimp, mac and cheese, coleslaw, oyster stuffing, and the piece de resistance, Smith Island cake. Let me just say, this place was packed. The restaurant and parking lot were overflowing, so reservations (which you must make by phone) are absolutely essential unless you're prepared for a considerable wait. However, the constant flow of people is a testament to the food. The buffet was meticulously maintained, with dishes being restocked frequently, ensuring everything was hot and fresh. The endless raw oysters were a highlight – plump, fresh, and delicious. The crab cakes, while not featuring lump crab meat (they leaned more towards backfin and claw), were still quite tasty. And the Smith Island cake? A rare and delightful treat, especially on a buffet! It was a perfect ending to the meal. Overall, Chesapeake Landing delivers the quintessential Maryland seafood experience. It's a bustling, lively atmosphere with a focus on fresh, classic dishes. If you're looking for a true taste of Maryland seafood, Chesapeake Landing is a must-try. ”

“ We did a weekend trip and ate here and this place was great. I had the Chesapeake chicken and we got crab cake balls that my husband loved. If you are in the area definitely give this place a try. ”

“ All you can eat crabs meal is fabulous. The service is great. Forget the fancy places in town for a meal. This was a diamond we found and our 2 year heading there first after arriving in St Michael's for our annual family vacation. ”

“ I love this place for catering! We used them for Thanksgiving and will for Easter! They are extremely accommodating. They also pack the food well and we traveled to family Almost 2 hours away. Very sweet staff I highly recommended them! They really care! ”

“ Visited this place for a lunch today after the lunch rush. We ordered jumbo crab cake special and we were very happy with the food. Fries came very hot, very fresh tasting crab cake without lots of fillers. I thought it was the best tasting broiled crab cake I ever tasted. ”

“ Friendly family diner experience. Steamed blue crabs are superb. ”
