“ Well, I made a trip from the Gulf Coast to the Maryland shore, wondering what to do for dinner, I thought, "What is Maryland known for?" Crab cakes! So, I found a quaint and quiet restaurant that a descent amount of reviews. I figured I would try it out. The crab cakes didn't disappoint. I ordered them fried and they were lightly fried, very moist, and very good. Not soggy. Large portions. The service was great! We had pleasant conversations. Family feel to the establishment. It was fun! When in Chesapeake Beach, I recommend Traders, ask for Britney. She won't steer you wrong! ”
“ I enjoyed my first experience at Traders. The dishes are plentiful & can be shared if needed. Their outside seating was cool too. ”
“ I came here for brunch before hitting the road with my boyfriend, and there was no wait at the bar and high top tables so we did that. The bar is a bit too dark for having a meal, but not complaining since we choose to not wait for a table. The bartender gave me the southern grandma vibe, she knows couple customer's "the usual" orders and she knows her way around the bar. I ordered the Chesapeake benedict (2 benedicts with crab meat on each) with fries (more like sliced potato crisp), and it was pretty good. The ingredients werr fresh, the crab meat on top of the benedicts were VERY fresh and generous portioned. The potatoes were lack of a bit salt, but you can add that by yourself. We also ordered a cup of the creamy crab soup, and ong that was the best crab soup I've had. I live in Virginia Beach and there's nowhere that can top this. Crazy amount of super fresh crab meat, the soup itself was smooth and full of crab flavor, and unlike the old bay soup in VB, this ome didn't need much old bay and yet flavorful enough to make me regret not getting the bowl or even a pot if they offer that option. ”
“ Delicious seafood and crab dip plus slot machines! I've never experienced a place like this before but I'll definitely be back and hopefully hitting the jackpot. ”
“ The food was good. Needs more flavor in some areas. Steak was cooked to perfection. Only thing I would say is with the Chesapeake steak. Do not get the gravy that comes with it. I would say that needs to be taken off the menu. That steak is good without it. The ambiance of the restaurant is small town bar feel. Their menu is also good waitresses too. I would come back and try some different things. ”
“ Crab imperial... seasoned to perfection... delicious Loaded baked potato... good Steamed brocolli... nice & tender... good Seafood quesadilla... packed with crabmeat and shrimp and lots of cheese *which can become a lil chewy*.... but good ”
