1 review for Poplar Inn
This is a good down home traditional restaurant. It is and has been family owned and operated forever.
We went there and the decor is very old, not unpleasant, but it hasn't been updated in a while. There is a bar next door which is distracting as it's very audible at times.
We started off with the steamed shrimp appetizer. Excellent bits of large potatoes and onions along with jumbo shrimp. Well seasoned and delicious. There is a note in the menu that everything is homemade and even the cocktail sauce was which was a pleasant surprise since most places no longer do that.
The main courses were the crab cake dinner (2 cakes) and their specialty grilled cheese Cheasapeake. They take crab meat and grill it with cheese as well as bacon. That was a hit and was delectable. I ate the crab cakes, which were adequate. I was disappointed that they did not use Md crab for the lumps and substituted some other crab. It was a good flavor, but not quite the same. The fries were crisp and homemade as well and were decent. Not the best in the world, but I am very picky about my fries.
Service was decent for the type of mom and pop place, but considering the lack of crowd (we went late) it could have been better. With better atmosphere and some better service this would have been even better. It's a great place to get some good cheap food though and we will certainly go again.
