Dining

Dorchester County is known for its delectable seafood—jumbo lump crab, rockfish, oysters, and more—fresh from our local waters. Many of our restaurants are waterside—and some are accessible by boat. You’ll also discover some surprises here, such as sophisticated restaurants tucked away down country lanes and in small towns. Whether your dining dockside, riverside, downtown, or in the country, you’ll enjoy that classic Eastern Shore hospitality.
