Marker 5 - Tilghman

Recommended to us by a local. Arrived about 5. Staff were cleaning under tables. Design/decor was basic but for me the food is most important. Seemed to be they were training a number of students to be servers. Staff were pleasant and happy to serve us our order of artichoke dip which my husband liked and crab soup which was too salty for me but not for my husband. I mentioned it to our server but he and my husband ended up laughing it off. I would return to try something else.

Went for the 2nd time to get the M5 Chicken Sandwhich. Perfection! We also got the wood fired pizza, shrimp salad sandwich, smash burger and pulled pork sandwich. All delicious! The hand cut potatoe chips have such a yummy seasoning and are perfectly crisp! The views and quiet atmosphere are so nice. We sat outside. Staff were all extremely nice and super attentive. Will go back again and again!

Amazing food, amazing staff. Everything is fresh enjoyed the peach crush with local, muddled peaches! ?

We just stumbled on to this place. Someone told us they were having a pop up service this weekend, so we decided to try it. The food was absolutely fantastic. Best I have had in a while. Catfish was cooked perfectly the potatoes were seasoned and cooked just right and the green beans were pretty good as well. This place is not easy to find kind of a hidden gem. Do yourself a favor and stop here if you are in town.

While enjoying a sister’s weekend on the Eastern Shore we decided to stop at Marker 5 for lunch. It’s not an obvious find from the street, but my sister had been there before, so she knew where to look for it. It’s right in the marina, so there’s a nice view out to the boats, and we enjoyed watching the yachts and sailboats come in and out underneath the Drawbridge. They have a sphere inside is equally charming, with paintings from a local artist on the wall depicting area sites. The service was a little bit slow, but the server was a nice lady, who said she only works there every other weekend. Sadly, the food was subpar in comparison to the atmosphere. My sister has a tile fish special, and it was very heavily seasoned, although she didn’t hate it. I ordered the shrimp avocado sandwich. I was very disappointed. It had some sort of tomato bacon jam on it that had no flavor at all. It was served on Texas toast which was soggy. The shrimp wasn’t seasoned virtually at all, and they had foot spring mix in the sandwich, which was all mushy by the time it got to me. We also ordered the crab fritter appetizer. I thought it was very overpriced for the for a little round balls we received, and again I didn’t think they were very flavorful. I like that they try to have imagination, but their skills at building a solid player profile, and knowing when to use the right ingredients for a delicious result just weren’t there. Overall the lunch for two of us was well over $100, which was a lot for subpar food. I don’t think I would eat there again, despite the beautiful atmosphere.
