The service was okay. The food is eh…. The Shrimp Scampi I ordered was the worst Shrimp Scampi dish I’ve ever had. I picked it because it’s usually simple to make. For the price the portion wasn’t up to par either. The shrimp was bland and it tastes like butter, that’s it. Could barely taste the garlic. The parsley that was scattered on the plate for the garnish was unnecessary. Didn’t make it taste any better. I gave it a two-star because the gentlemen who was the host was very sweet and helpful.

The food was great! Loved everything I got. Even the hot bread was delicious. Everything was so well seasoned and the portions were large enough to have ample leftovers. The dessert was simply excellent too, I got the double chocolate cake. My friends got the chicken alfredo and brownie sundays and they enjoyed that as well, large portions so you def get your money’s worth. Prices are reasonable, plenty of seafood options.

The food was good, but it wasn’t special, if that makes sense. The staff and service were awesome, but I won’t actively go back unless I’m invited. The best way to put it, is everything was kinda bland. Or at least the stuffed shrimp and mashed potatoes were. I tried the fries and they were really good, the cream of crab soup was YUMMMMMMM. Not bad but not great.

Best steak I have had in Maryland in years and the price was half of what I paid years ago. $30 vs $65. Crab dip was super, too. Also liked their fresh, hot rolls

You picked a winner! Bowman’s food is Exceptional. Their chef is talented. Fish & chips are the best. Shrimp cocktail & scallops are delicious. Bowman’s serves a variety of entrees. Bartender makes a variety of hand squeezed “Killer” crushes ! Play music on Itunes. Restaurant owner Steve treats everyone like family. Staff are friendly & hard working. A shout out to MGR Z, Shelby & Brandon!

We held our Halloween themed wedding of 120 people at the Bowman. The staff did an amazing job and made my night as a bride easy. Best of all it was very affordable for a couple on a budget! To the staff- you did an amazing job and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being great at what you do!

This restaurant is considered to be above average. But in the past recent years their food has been hit-or-miss some of good some bad. It seems to be consistent with their higher end items not being good.

Me and my family went to Bowmans restaurant and we were VERY DISAPPOINTED. The appetizers were stone cold and there was more lettuce than appetizer. It seems very wasteful to serve over lettuce which was soggy and not edible for human consumption. There was a seed in a ice water with no lemon at all. The old bay wings were so salty and made my grandfathers blood pressure go through the roof. The aging facility’s are shocking! Wall paper falling off paint buckets in sight which was not appetizing, and unclean bathrooms. When we asked for a straw the waiter brought it out using her fingers and the straw was not in a wrapper which is not safe during the pandemic. The Caesar salad was awful but the turkey sandwich wasn’t half bad. The highlight of the night was the rolls which was the only five star item on the menu. The service wasn’t awful as well as the burger. The restaurant needs a renovation and a new menu and or chef. Won’t be going back again, the restaurant has really gone down hill !!

I love this place. I usually get the stuffed shrimp. It is stuffed with lump crab and a wonderful topping that must be made with egg. I squeeze some fresh lemon on top and it adds a hint of tartness.
