Great food for date night. Friendly service. I had the stuffed scallops and they were delicious. Served covered with crab meat the scallops were tender and scrumptious. I don't know how they prepare their broccoli but we can't miss it. I taste a hint of lemon. Hubby had steak prepared perfectly medium rare.

Updated 5/19/23: Went again. Waitress Denise (owners list her name as Dennis in their system) was sincerely one of the best waitresses we've ever had. Extremely friendly, funny, caring, engaging, and attentive. We would have enjoyed her company if she sat down to join us! The food was so delicious and the portions are enormous! I had blackened tilapia, broccoli, and lemon basmati rice. SO good! My wife had the mussels special and a side salad; the huge oval platter was overflowing with mussels, and she loved them. I can't emphasize enough how you really must try Fisherman's Catch! ***** Ok. Force yourself to get over the stigma of eating dinner at the bowling alley! Nothing against bowling (I was in a league a time or two in my life). But this restaurant should be in your place to try even WITHOUT bowling. Plenty of parking, handicapped accessible, and I barely heard the crash of bowling pins. Decor was nice, service was very fast and extremely friendly (thank you Miss Dee!), and the meals my wife and I had were VERY good. And the portions were LARGE. We started off with Clams Casino. 6 to the plate, good size clams, and they were delicious. My wife had fried butterfly shrimp with fries and broccoli. The worst thing I can say is that the fries were good. But the shrimp was extremely good, and the broccoli was steamed to perfection... tender, yet enough bite to not fall apart on your fork. I had a side salad. It was ok. Needed to be spun dry as it was very watery. The balsamic dressing needed salt. Bur my main entree was incredible. And a HUGE portion. I had blackened tilapia with broccoli. Two huge pieces of tilapia. Seriously, the fish lasted me 3 meals (and I'm a BIG eater). My only disappointment was that there wasn't any kind of rice in the menu, and that seems like the perfect accompaniment to broiled/pan-fried fish. White, brown, pilaf, fried with veggies... some kind of rice is a needed addition to the menu. So to sum it up: WHOLE HEARTEDLY RECOMMEND! Try this place. Before ordering for the first time, I initially said to myself that I can't imagine eating meats/ribs here or Italian food as there are plenty of other great Harford County restaurants in that cuisine to choose from. But after seeing the quality and portion sizes with the seafood, I'm eager to go back and try ribs and veal/chicken parm!

Highly recommend! Delicious crab pretzel! I also got the Cajun chicken and rice with broccoli. Which was cooked perfectly! Our waitress was super friendly and attentive! I finished our dinner with a wonderful cup of hot chocolate! Definitely check this place out!

My group tried this restaurant after bowling. Everything was so delicious! I had the clams casino appetizer and the Mykonos meal which is a filet mignon with stuffed shrimp on top with two side. I was skeptical at first but wow, I was NOT disappointed. The filet was so tender almost melt in your mouth, the crab imperial on top the shrimp was divine. Loaded with crab meat, seasoned well and cooked perfectly. I had a baked potato and broccoli as my sides. Our waitress was friendly and the place was clean and busy. The menu is extensive I would come back to try again! See you next time!

The service was amazing, our waitress was the sweetest very helpful and easygoing girl and very hard working we could tell she was busy but still prioritized us. The food was delicious but the service was top notch and will be what we consider next time and I hope we have Emma serving us again very soon!

This is an excellent American restaurant. The burgers are big & tasty. Many locals go there just for the burgers. The spare ribs are fantastic & tasty. Half a rack overflows your plate with heavy meat on the bone. Many different kinds of fish are offered in many different cooking styles. Simply broiled is often really tasty. The fish is fresh. Their scallops are consistently soft, moist & super-fresh. The "Royal" version of your dish often includes a couple of scallops. We always ask what was delivered this afternoon, & we normally order it. They have access to much fresher fish than we can get from local stores. This may be the best place for fish in the county.
