Kent Narrows

Which Kent Narrows Is Yours?

The best restaurant on the Narrows depends a lot on what kind of afternoon you had in mind.

Ask for the best place to eat in Kent Narrows and you'll get an argument, not an answer. That's useful. The Narrows packs old-school crab houses, dock bars, sunset restaurants and live-music hangouts into a small waterfront district — and locals tend to have strong opinions about which one fits which occasion.

Kent Narrows: Where the Eastern Shore Comes to the Water

Crab houses, dock bars, workboats and weekend cruisers share one narrow stretch of Chesapeake waterfront.

Kent Narrows isn't a restaurant district that happens to sit on the water. The water is the reason it's here. Between longtime seafood houses, lively dock bars and some of the Eastern Shore's best-known dock-and-dine stops, the Narrows remains a place where Chesapeake working-waterfront culture and recreational boating meet at the same docks.
