The Island Hideaway

My bf and I came for dinner and it was delicious. Service was great. 😊 We recommend getting the old bag wings 😋 the salmon was also very good and flavorful and the burger was also delicious! Awesome experience!

I went with my 12- and 14-year olds. We order calamari, lasagna, and an Asian special (I can't remember the name.). The food was delicious, fresh tasting, delivered hot and brimming with flavor. Our server was wonderful, patient, and accommodating. We dined outside at sunset. It was simply beautiful. I also had a Blueberry Lemonade, an adult beverage. It was well-presented and tasty. As my children took their first bites, I asked them how the food was. The words they used were delicious and exquisite. See their reactions. We all had leftovers last night because the portions were generous. The fresh flavor remained and it was still a marvelous meal.

It all started so well. Friendly welcome. Drinks served. Food upon arrival looked good. Unfortunately that’s when things went down hill. I ordered the crab cake. It looked tasty even tho the meat to bun ratio was off. The bun was way bigger than the filling. Same goes for my husband’s burger. His burger was under seasoned. He asked for the Caesar salad with no croutons, but it was served with the croutons and my crab cake was burnt on the bottom making it inedible. The Manager was uninterested and surly. It’s probably A nice place for drinks but the food is below average especially for the price.

The Island Hideaway is a family run restaurant that overlooks a portion of the Back Creek on Solomons Island. It is a quaint eatery with a nice bar area, great homemade cakes, and a hearty menu. The skinny fries were excellent as usual - crisp and well seasoned. Their weekly special shotgun shells appetizer (stuffed jalapeño halves) was deep fried with a slightly sweet and spicy sauce. Their salads were fresh and crisp. The thick cut pork chop was accompanied by wild rice and asparagus. The white rice and asparagus were cooked well. The pork chop was flavorful, but slightly overdone. The homemade cake was excellent as usual. Fresh strawberries brought acidity and brightness alongside the cream frosting and great yellow cake flavor / texture.

Okay folks, I rarely use the descriptor "stupid good" in my reviews, but my experience this Monday evening at The Island Hideaway fits this descriptor.. I am visiting the area for work this week and make a point to try local establishments/fare above national chains to the greatest extent possible.. I visited this restaurant on the recommendation of the front desk staff at the nearby Hilton Garden Inn.. Since I was flying solo, I opted to dine at the bar to avoid taking up a spot outside that someone else might enjoy.. Charlie D took very good care of me during my stay.. He offered a handful of recommended dishes for the evening, but when pressed, had other personal favorites and recommendations.. I admired his honesty.. I started with their menu Casamigos margarita, but I subbed out th
