The food was great, tiny bit pricey but not bad at all. The cream of crab soup was amazing, good size lumps of real crab meat and the flavors were to die for. I could've eaten more of that and been happy. The crab cake sandwich and rockfish sandwich are both good. The french dip looked yummy but I didnt get to sneak a bite of that one. Great food, good views, friendly staff... we will be back

Eaten here a couple of times now and will definitely go back when we are in the area. Smoked bluefish was excelllent. Seating area outside is the place to go when the weather is good. Can't beat the views, absolutely gorgeous spot. The bridge going up and down so often is impressive as well.Good parking and wheelchair accessible. Well worth a visit.

No refills on your ice tea here! Pay $3 for a tiny glass of tea and no refills! In addition, a top shelf drink is $14 and very weak. Take a quick boat ride to Red Eye's and get one for $8. We will not be back.

We were there on one of the first days they were open for the season so the menu and beer selection was limited. I had the crab cake sandwich which was chock full if crab and delicious! Okay to bring dogs here and enjoy the outside seating on a nice day.

Friendly hard working staff, all with deep roots in the Bay Hundred area. They know the area and the food from this region. If you're looking for the true local experience this is one of the best options. Great views of the Tilghman Island Bridge and Knapp's Narrows.

Sadly dissapointed with our lunch. Dip was served on a pretzel with little crab meat and crab cakes were loaded with mustard and salt. Our server,while courteous and sweet, inattentive. Once our go to place for lunch now removed from the list.

My wife and I stopped here a couple of weeks ago. Tellin' ya, this place is a keeper after the same ol' same ol' of St Michaels with it's crowds and sometimes scarce parking! I had the Rockfish sandwich and my wife had a Shrimp Salad sandwich. Both were very very tasty and with the location with the drawbridge, the boats and spacious deck, we're coming back! Especially liked the adirondack chairs deckside (dockside?) to relax in.

Characters Bridge is your great Eastern Shore restaurant. There's the crabs, the tiki bar on the dock, the draw bridge, the great service and you can dock your boat right there. They helped with the lines and were very friendly. Will be back soon. And oh... You can also drive there.

This is a place that we must visit anytime we are down in that direction. Hands down the best spinach salad on the face of the Earth. Small family-owned. Very quaint and you feel like family there!!

Menu is pretty standard Chesapeake fare and quality is about average, but what makes this place special is you are right beside the busiest drawbridge in the US with a great view of the comings and goings of boats. The indoor dining has huge windows so you can watch, and the outdoor dining and bar are right there on the side of the Knapps Narrows channel.

Great service and watching the boats/drawbridge was highly entertaining. Food was good. My favorite was the steamed shrimp. I ordered the fried oyster sandwich and was quite surprised when it was brought to the table. There were three enormous fried oysters that looked like patties! Probably great for oyster lovers, but as a newbie to oysters, it was a little much for me, but it was ok. The crab cake sandwich was tasty as well.

Awesome location and we loved our waiter. (Thanks, James!) The crab dip is excellent--in season--with big chunks of lump crab meat. I had fish tacos which were very good and my husband liked his rockfish sandwich, but it was a bit dry, as it was only fish and lettuce on a bun with no sauce. Overall a great time. We will go back over and over!

After calling ahead to make sure that the restaurant was wheelchair accessible we drove for an hour and a half only to find that the handicapped ramp was being repaired and out of service. Thankfully there was another restaurant up the road that was accessible.

Slow slow slow service. The bar tender is also the waitress. We sat inside and never got followed up on. Food was ok. "Famous" prime rib was good, Served on paper plate and had to use a butter knife. Would not recommend this place to anyone visiting here.
