Cantler's Riverside Inn
The family-owned and operated waterfront restaurant and crab house features 22 windows overlooking Main Street and City Dock. Hailing from a family that has worked in the seafood industry for more than five generations, owner and founder Jimmy Cantler was a waterman on the Chesapeake Bay before opening his family-friendly restaurant in 1974. Situated in the quiet waters along Mill Creek, steamed Maryland blue crabs, clams, oysters, shrimp and fish are freshly prepared seven days a week throughout the year. All of the seafood served at the restaurant is inspected by experienced handlers to insure the highest quality. Come as you are to the casual restaurant and enjoy baby back ribs, filet mignon, burgers, chicken, salads or seafood in a friendly atmosphere. Kids 5 and under eat free.
