    Oh my, we will be back asap!

    Everything we ordered was over the top. Loved the steamed appetizer of andouille and shell fish. Crab cakes are some of the best in MD!

    Great food in a fun atmosphere

    The crab cake is delicious. Fun boating atmosphere not that far from the historic downtown and harbor area of Annapolis. A good walk over the bridge will get you into downtown. Went for lunch. The salad and house lemon dressing were great.

    I will give it a 4 for popularity....

    My meal here was just fine...nothing great...but certainly not bad. It is quite a popular place, although it seems more of a bar atmosphere with food. It probably won't be a regular stop for me, but it certainly has its place in Eastport/Annapolis.

    We absolutely loved the atmosphere and the service was outstanding. The house salad was great & the Regatta Nachos were delicious and a very generous portion. The crabcakes were the best we've ever had. We topped off our meal with our first ever Smith Island...More

    Great Place in Annapolis

    We have visited BB&G several times during our visits to Annapolis. The food is very good and the service is pretty good, as well. They have very tasty Bloody Marys and a fair assortment of beers.

    Description
    The Boatyard is where local sailors, fishermen and lovers of the Chesapeake enjoy pint drinks, great crab cakes and the freshest local seafood. Specialties include smoked fish of the day (on premise), cream of crab and Maryland crab soups and an extensive list of crab and seafood specialties. The First Lady came from the White House to enjoy our crab cakes. The Boatyard has the most extensive raw bar in the area including a variety of oysters, clams, shrimp and mussels. The Boatyard receives awards for being most family friendly and having the best burger on the Bay. Its weekend brunch is the best in the area. The Boatyard is located in the historic maritime district of Eastport-a short walk or water taxi from Annapolis City Docks. Its photo boat films the local sailing races and shows them nightly. Named by Coastal Living, Sailing World and Sail Magazine as one of world's top sailing/boating restaurants.
