Two If By Sea Restaurant

amazing seafood bisque and fish and chips. beautiful charming environs. ill be back just as soon asi can.

We were staying at a nearby inn that wasn’t serving breakfast due to it being off-​season, so we got a recommendation for Two If By Sea for breakfast and we were not disappointed. Even though there weren’t a lot of customers in the restaurant on this Monday morning in the off-​season, the food was still excellent. I had the pumpkin Belgian waffle, which had a crumble topping on it, which was delicious. My wife had the cherry cheese danish stuffed french toast, which she thoroughly enjoyed. We even found the coffee to be very good. Overall, I found that Two If By Sea lives up to its reputation as being a good breakfast place on Tilghman Island and I would go back again.

The breakfast is sensational. I had the crab Benedict and my wife had the asparagus and crab omelette. Both were superb. Our server was great, a long time resident of Tilghman island, happy to regale us on local history and items of interest. We even picked up some jam which they make right there, it’s great too! Can not go wrong, definitely worth the drive from St Michaels.

Don’t even think twice: go directly to Two if By Sea. Unbelievable breakfast of Crabbie Ben… crab benedict with crisp English muffins, freshly picked crab and a killer hollandaise. Side of sliced tomatoes and you’re in shape for a day on the Eastern Shore. Kelly is keeping the joe flowing with a smile and overall stellar service. I write with the pause that comes with showcasing a local gem to the world, but the crab’s out of the pot.

We stopped in here while exploring the island. Its a cute little café that sells homemade jams, jellies, and flavored salts. It is a small café with a few tables and a counter on one side but the other side has more tables and antiques for sale.
The woman who greeted us was awesome. She was friendly, gave us any info we needed to know about the food and drinks, and spoke with us while doing just about everything but cooking.
We ordered a few coffees which were decent. I then spied a pan of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies Cooling and asked if we could share one. It was still a little warm, soft, and obviously homemade. It was so good we ordered a second. Turns out they are only 50 cents each!
I would definitely like to come back and try a full breakfast sometime.

My fiancé and I came to Two If By Sea on a recommendation. We stopped by on a Sunday morning and it wasn’t super crowded but it was obviously a popular place because people were steadily coming in and out.
We had our dog with us so we sat on the front porch, which meant we had to go in and order but that was no biggie.
I ordered the corned beef hash with breakfast potatoes and an English muffin. My date had the «crabby» Benedict. Both entrees were delicious. My hash was perfectly crispy on both sides, and salty but not overwhelming. The potatoes were fantastic with lots of herbs.
I’d recommend this to others visiting the area. It’s a little out of the way from St Michaels but worth the drive for delicious breakfast! Plus the service is fast and the prices were more than reasonable. I think for both of us it was under $ 20.

Two If By Sea was our last stop before heading home from a weekend in St. Michael’s, and I’m glad we took the detour. We arrived a bit later than the typical breakfast crowd and were immediately able to get a seat outside with our dog. We had to go inside to get menus and place our order (and get/​pay the check), but no worries. I had the «Crabbie Eggs» (Poached Eggs, Crabmeat, and Cheese on English Muffin), which was delicious. The prices were even better; my meal cost $ 8.50 and probably would’ve been twice that in D.C.

We loved this place for breakfast because of the quaintness factor. It has a «yesterday» feel with its collection of cookie jars & old-​fashioned ceiling fans.
I loved my omelet with crab & asparagus. My husband was pleased with his eggs & toast, as was our friend with her omelet & home fries.
Our one criticism is that the iced tea wasn’t made fresh but came from one of those dreadful machines. Yuk!

Chef Henry and the Two If by Sea crew did an outstanding job catering our wedding and rehearsal party at Black Walnut Point Inn. During our first meeting with Henry, we told him we wanted to do something unique for our 200 person wedding dinner — junk food! We wanted cheesesteaks, tacos and pizza. He quickly agreed and started figuring out how to make it happen — even buying a portable pizza oven. Our guests at the wedding loved the food because not only did it represent us and our unique style, it tasted good too! Henry’s staff also rocked it out. During dinner, it started pouring rain and the staff powered through. They were getting completely drenched, but the food kept rolling out and it was piping hot. Our only negative experience was that Henry can be difficult to reach at times, but honestly, that was our experience with everyone on the Island (it must just be Island living!). However, it didn’t impact our wedding or the food at all. We would not hesitate at all in recommending Henry and his team. They are magnificent.

first thing that was said to us was it will take 45 mins for you to get food. Our waitress looked ill, sweating all over. The service was extremely poor. And our order was incorrect. The food seemed rushed and was not very good.

We visited for brunch and were floored at how good this place is. The signature Crabby Benedict features a healthy serving of crab under the poached eggs. This dish is generous and special without being too rich (for eggs Benedict, which is all too common). The home fries and sides of sauteed spinach were similarly simple and fresh, but with an herb seasoning that made them stand out. Whomever is cooking back there has a really light, expert touch. We ran into friends who live in the area (we do not), which shows that locals visit this place with regularity. This is a sign of quality in an area with a lot of tourist traffic. We’ll definitely be back.

Always a great experience every time we come here. We make it a point to eat here every time we visit MD. The breakfast is always fantastic and staff is friendly. We love the home fries!

It’s a really cute place but everything we had came from a freezer bag– stuffed jalepeno and rock fish and chips ($ 20, neither were cooked through and were freezer burned. We are not picky people but this was horrible.

I happened upon this Jewel of the Sea in Tilghman Island. The Café is tastefully decorated and the Wait staff were friendly, attentive and personal.
I ordered the Crab, Cheese and Asparagus Omelet. Rarely in my life have I ever had a more perfect Omelet. Only one word could describe it, that would be Sublime.
The combination of fluffy eggs, aldente Asparagus, Local Asparagus and Cheese was to die for. The Redskin Potato Home-​fries were an excellent accompaniment. Well worth the Detour from St. Michaels.

We took TIBS’s monthly cooking class one Sunday evening and truly enjoyed our experience. Taught by Chef Henry, the session ran two hours, well-​paired wine flowed freely, and the food was fantastic.
Take special note of the desserts, perhaps the highlight of the wonderful meal.

My parents live on Tilghman Island, and we have been to TIBS for brunch on a few occasions. I love the retro, antique store vibe and friendly service. The food is pretty good, I’ve had an excellent omelet with crab and asparagus. My last experience was more middling; I had a «crabby Benedict» which was tasty, but quite greasy/​mayo-​heavy.
There are very few restaurants in the area, and TIBS is a welcome meeting spot to grab a bite, and maybe a souvenir.
