Bugeye Grill - Solomons

We had heard great things about the food and had some out-of-town guests with us, so we decided to visit on a Saturday afternoon. When we arrived, we were the only table there, which allowed us to receive fantastic service. Every appetizer we ordered was excellent.

The staff was extremely friendly, and the food was delightful. We enjoyed a beautiful view of the sunset over the bridge. I highly recommend it!

I kept receiving numerous emails from this restaurant asking me to write a review, which I was reluctant to do. However, since they keep emailing me at least once a week, here it is. We visited about 18 months ago, and it was a terrible experience. The clams were gritty with sand, the bread was like a rock, and the service left much to be desired. The entrees weren't memorable either, although I can't recall what they were at this point. I mentioned my concerns to the management, but they seemed indifferent. On a positive note, the music outside was quite good. However, I won't be returning for the food.

We had a very nice meal. We went on a Monday for the $10.00 off meat special. My husband and I both had the filet and it was very good. We sat in the sunroom which is very sunny as the sun goes down.

Drawn in by the sidewalk sign promising Coffee Shop, we loved the view and coffee. Baked goods were disappointing—puzzling due to full kitchen and reports of excellent food otherwise. 5-6 bakery choices were listed but not on display. At least 2 (lemon pound cake and black/white cookies) came prepackaged in plastic similar to items found in 7-11’s. The cranberry scone looked homemade, but was doughy and soft without the pleasant crunchiness of a delicious fresh homemade scone. I’d seen Bugeye’s weekend coffee cafe advertised on FB and really looked forward to going beyond the baked goods offered locally at Dunkin, Starbucks, and grocery stores. We have been looking between Prince Frederick and Hollywood/Lexington Park for a focus on real baked goods…there is a huge lack which your kitchen could fill. Nicolletti’s a bit further south has a selection of in-house baked items which is marvelous and makes great use of their ovens, yet aren’t even advertised as part of their online presence. Bugeye’s does advertise a Coffee Shop atmosphere, has an excellent view and the kitchen to make it happen. One motivated person could make all the difference! Hope it happens, because this area needs it.
