Narrows

Any time we visit our best friends on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, they always take us to the most excellent seafood restaurants where I can indulge my food love affair with the famous Maryland Jumbo Lump Crab Cake. Now mind you, I am from New York and purchase jumbo lump crab meat but, folks, if it isn't from Maryland or isn't delivered by Congressional Seafood to the restaurant, caterer or market, there is a big difference in taste and appearance. So each year I go into my food coma starting here with the Cream of Crab soup. It is seafood splendor in a bowl! Decadently rich, this is the time you order by the bowl. Dismiss any thoughts of calories and cardiac concerns just for this meal. Have another glass of wine and relax by taking in the picturesque views as you savor your soup. For dinner, we go straight for the Crab Cakes. Now, of course, all the sides are delicious as well, but these remain untouched until I can make sure I can finish my crab cakes first. And many local guests here opt for the fresh fish selections, and these look amazing plated. As my husband does not share as great a passion for crab cakes as I do, he can attest further to the skillful preparation and quality fish the chef makes for you. You will not be disappointed here. A bonus is their location. Right off 301, you can park waterside and enjoy the view and brilliant sunsets. The Chesapeake Bay Bridges in the distance, boats cruising in to dock and others hauling in the day's catch, makes this both a favorite and happy place. We've enjoyed many family celebrations here and always look forward to our visits. We started coming here as newlyweds, now 34 years later and still can't get enough of these crab cakes. But here at the Narrows, "Our ship has come in!"

Had an absolutely amazing experience!!! The food is delicious and the view is breathtaking. Must try their crab cakes. The best i have had so far. Last but not least the service was great and the staff was amiable. A must go to restaurant.

Unexpected Valentine's Day Surprise!
We have eaten here before and have always LOVED it but it's been years since we've been in the area. Today we got rerouted due to traffic and ended up here!
My wife and I LOVE the crab cakes! They are off the charts! We tried the Crab Tart and that was excellent. Has a little kick to it. Then we finished off the night with their special Banana Foster dessert!
Staff was very friendly. We had a table right by the window. It was a great night and we'll be back!

The best seafood restaurant on Kent Island. We used to go to Harris' until they served a crab soup without any crab meat. We often go to the Fisherman's Inn and I still love the place. The Narrows has the best food and their back porch is simple magical during summer evenings. It's also a bit pricey and I feel you need to dress up a bit for the Narrows. It's worth it.
