Pirates Cove Restaurant & Dock Bar is a wonderful place to enjoy fine classic and casual seafood dining year round with the scenic charm of the West River. We offer live entertainment in the lounge on weekends, and out at the Dock Bar from late May through September. Really three eateries in one: you can enjoy dining outside on the water on our deck or in our enclosed patio; inside in one of our three dining rooms or our lounge, and last but not least, though only open seasonally, you can enjoy a tropical beverage and light fare at our Dock Bar. We have weekend live entertainment for your dining pleasure. There is also a marina on site with private slips for our patrons. So come by car or by boat, just come. We look forward to your next visit, and thank you for considering Pirates Cove Restaurant & Dock Bar. PLEASE NOTE: Kitchen closing times may vary from actual restaurant closing times based on customer demand.

The Pirates Cove has been beautifully remodeled since we were last there, and it's amazing! Everything's been opened up, new booths, upholstery, and an additional new bar.
My De ter burger and fries were perfectly done, with plenty to take home.
The service was good, too.
We're so glad we went back.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Apr 24, 2022Previous reviewWe boated up to Pirates Cove today for brunch and Kristie waited on us and did a phenomenal job! She opened the sliding doors for us so we could enjoy the wonderful weather and she took care of everything we needed.
Maria also was a great bartender and made us very tasty Blood Mary's. - J H.California, MD010Apr 10, 2024

Fresh and tasty seafood - good selections too. The crab chowder is to die for. It a nice waterfront restaurants next to West River Yacht Harbour. I wish they have Tesla EV charger though.
Would be a great place to stop and get good food /drinks while waiting for the car to 'charged up'. The owner should think about this addition for extra revenue since I saw many Tesla while I was in the area but there was no charging station.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 1035185Jul 3, 2023
We wanted seafood by the water so we stopped by Pirates Cove for lunch.
It has two side ls to dine,m. An outdoor/dock bar and a inside restaurant. It was cutely decorated. They played 80s music throughout the restaurant and had breathtaking water views!
We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share.
We had the fried green tomatoes, half Maryland crab soup and cream of crab soup, house garden salad, crab dip, mini crab cakes/balls, and a baked potato. I need to mention that the scallions I received were dried out.
The salad seemed a bit wilted and the tomatoes were mushy. The baked potato was not completely cooked. The waitress quickly took it off the bill and whisked it away with no questions asked.
The stars of the cuisine were the crab dip and the mini crap cakes/balls. They were so good and full of flavor.
I enjoy most of the food but the views were spectacular!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dee N.Huntingtown, MD2170128Mar 11, 2024Updated review
Service was great, food was delicious but the noise was horrible. Visited on Friday evening for reservations at 6:30. Table was not ready. Staff was really nice and friendly and appreciated me waiting. We could barely hear the band with the talking. Very very very loud! I ordered the fish and chips-was really good! My server was so nice and friendly-I tipped 30 percent! Got home and looked at final receipt to scan in, they have a small disclaimer at the bottom that all patrons paying by card will be charged a 3 percent fee! Md residents are taxed to death! With large alcohol tax and food tax, charging customers 3 percent is unacceptable. What a rip off. People don't have to eat at Pirates Cove-should absorb CC fees because of the volume of business. I should have charged them for a migraine from the loud noise! I won't be back!

We were told we would have the room in the back and we decorated it but other people were seated with us. Felt bad for them. Only one waitress for 25 people in our group. Then the waitress was upset we wanted separate checks. She said several times how she busted her butt for us! The food wasn't bad though. Upon leaving they wanted us to take our decorations with us. Then one of our party guests heard the waitress say "glad those old pain in the asses are leaving - they made me work my _s_ off for them!" Us old people are late/mid 40s and 50s. The manager offered a free shot and apologized. Perhaps they should have scheduled another waitress with a better disposition next time huh! None of us will EVER go back.

Definitely had a 5 star experience. Service, on point. Food, amazing. Waterfront table, gorgeous. If you haven't had the Begnets you need to.

Parking was a little hard. It seems out of the way but not that out of the way because the parking lot was packed and we almost thought we had to go some place else, however I made a spot work.
We opted to sit outside because it was such a nice day.
We ordered the Oyster Rockefeller which was really good. Second time having it.
Then we ordered the crab dip. It was pretty good. I've had better. I would not order again however if someone else ordered some and they offered I would partake.
We both got the Seafood Trio. We we so full we ate half and had the other half for lunch. The shrimp was perfect. Not everyone can cook shrimp. The scallops were also good. It was my first time having red snapper and will not be my last. The rice was cooked to perfection.
The view was amazing and the service was great. The atmosphere was laid back which I appreciate.
I highly recommend Pirates Cove and will definitely be returning.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Karen B.Prince William County, VA808638Sep 27, 2023
We stopped here Monday evening for a quick dinner. We were so impressed with the quality of the food, the service and the atmosphere. We were provided exceptional service from Megan, our server, and Carl the bartender was awesome as well. We had crab cake appetizers, fried shrimp, old bay wings, And all were delicious. I believe this is our new favorite restaurant.!

Very disappointing my cousin found hair in her cole slaw. They offered free dessert but did not remove her order from the bill. The rockfish didn't taste fresh I sent mine back. Very nice location, food just average.
