Bowley's On The Bay - Middle River

A hidden gem located on the bay. Food was mediocre. Crab cake was served cold. Drinks watered down. The service was great. Optinal dine in or outside.Advice: Bring bug spray. We were attacked by bees. Could not enjoy food sitting oustide.

Entrees were quite well, both on trade for well-spiced well presented, side dishes we're not quite the same asparagus two large and Woody pita bread with cold and without a pocket. We are senior citizens. Senior seldom drink out of a can beer and hard Caribou that glass even. We came out last Saturday and will never do that again inside was a roar and overly crowded. Though we were advised and founded there's a large outside next to the water quite charming. There we did have to we arrived at 4 p.m. we had to wait a little over an hour should be seated. We were quite surprised by the now this is a restaurant on the we assumed there would be more seafood dishes to choose. There was there was a comprehensive I've always strange concoctions from the bar all sorts of exotic expensive rings. Dirty with very little of wine by the glass also no menu of beers at all so we just guessed. Now I understand that they were tremendously busy but they had no place for people who were waiting to stand or sit down so they were milling around but people that were trying to enjoy their evening and of course complaining because their their place in line waiting for a seat No reservations e. They said do I would have hated to be seated inside the noisy interior. The interior decor the the hard surfaces and lack of made it almost just a noisy bar room atmosphere. we enjoy your food but I think I go back it'll have to be a nice day during the week enjoy if you can

What an awesome Maryland find. I felt like I was in the Islands. I came here with a group I had never heard of this place. Absolutely beautiful restaurant beach vibe. Outside seating to die for!!!! The mussels were huge and the sauce was thick creamy and flavorful. Spicy Chicken sandwich was so crispy and perfectly cooked with a sauce that added a kick. I absolutely love this place.

Amazing! Although I'm biased anyway, as much as I LOVE the beach, and this place is a VIBE! I've lived in Bowleys Quarters for almost 2 years and ate here for the first time last month with a group of Sorority sisters. I WILL be back. The food was delicious, our server *Megan* was awesome and very accommodating of our party of about 9 or 10 ladies. So happy I live right in the area and this gem is less than 2 miles from my door. #ToesInTheSand #DrinkInMyHand

What an amazing view. I grew up boating on Rock Creek never realized how beautiful Middle River could be. Wife and I met a few couples to listen to awesome music by Sagamore and celebrate a birthday. Drinks were cold and refreshing and food was great. Highly recommend starting with the Amazing Cauliflower bites . You cannot go wrong with the Fish Taco 's that my wife ordered....tasty and full of Mahi Mahi with a aoli sauce that had a nice tang with the picked fennel.....Wasabi?. Sweet potato fries were perfectly cooked. I ordered my Pirate Burger rare and it was excellent with fries on the side. The over easy egg added a creamy texture to an outstanding burger. Gotta give props to our waitress for getting the order correct for the large table. Considering the crowd on a warm. summer Saturday evening she was on point. Beautiful sunset on the beach, great music, wonderful friends and good food.....what 's not to like? Can 't wait to return on this Chesapeake Oasis to try the Poke Bowl.
