Loved this place! Kind of like a Waffle House with better food and a better environment. We had the Crab Mac & Cheese and the Fried Chicken & Biscuits with Sausage Gravy. Great choices!

Excellent place for filling and tasty breakfast in the historic district. Small, quaint and reasonably priced. Large assortment of items for breakfast. We had the crabmeat Benedict and it was excellent. Lynda was our waitress and she was excellent. Very helpful and attentive. We look forward to returning here again.

Wonderful crab

Breakfast all day? Yes, thank you! Although we were up and out early to beat the crowds. They have converted the 4-seat booths to 2-seat, so even though the front seating area is small you are pretty well separated. The food was great and the coffee was strong. What more can you ask for? Oh, and our waitress was an absolutely hoot!

We liked it so much the first time that we returned the next day to get their AMAZING crab cake and Reuben sandwiches!! The second time I took lovely server Sarah's suggestion and ordered it withOUT the bun and just enjoyed the pure deliciousness of the crab meat (with a bit of lemon and good cocktail sauce)! Perfection! PS The pickles they bring to the table are crisp and delightfully deli DELIcious .

So this was my third time coming to Chick & Ruth's Delly. It was a nice day so it was pretty crowded. We left our number and received a text within 15 minutes or so that our table was ready. We were seated in the back of the restaurant but our server was quite attentive although we were away from the rush of people in the front. I ordered coffee which as an avid coffee drinker I enjoyed immensely. They came and refilled it often to make sure my cup of joe kept me happy. My crab cake Benedict was delicious along with my scrapple that was cooked perfectly. My fiancée ordered the seafood club that was very delectable. I especially enjoyed plucking the shrimp from her sandwich Ursula style. I am not a fan of onion rings but these were nice and crunchy. I only ate a few but I did enjoy them when they weren't mine. The only set back was we both got heartburn really bad. Neither of us get heartburn so we were able to link it to the food at the deli. I'm not sure if we got super greasy food that just didn't sit right on our stomachs but we both felt very sick. I will also mention that this did not happen on any of the other visits. The food was still tasty so I would go again. I will however take some heartburn medicine with me just to be prepared next time.

The crab cakes here are the real deal. Not stuffed with fillers but yet lump crab meat. This is the place for a great crab cake.

Always leave here feeling full and happy! Crab cake platters are delicious and can be shared! Plus you can order and have them delivered to your hom because you will want them once your home.

We have been to Chick and Ruth's about a million times. Every time we have out of town guests we stop in after waking around downtown Annapolis. The food is alright, but the shakes and the pickles are great!! My husband likes the Larry Hogan sandwich (like a cheesesteak) I get something different every time. *Not handicap or stroller friendly

Great spot for morning breakfast and mimosas. I got two eggs w homemade rye (amazing) and bacon. The only downfall is the restroom situation. But hey, it's still a great spot! Decent prices as well. I'm pretty sure DDD filmed there too so make sure you stop by here. Staff is fun and energetic.
Food was great like always. Service was ok. But their crab cakes ans crab meet is outstanding. When I go back and vist Annapolis I will most definitely go back.

I gave it five stars because of the staff and the history behind it. It's also a wonderful community gathering place. The food is about what you'd expect from a diner with a few nice twists like great breakfast and crabcakes. I live in Eastport and it is my go to for Getting together with friends as it has been for the past two decades

I was surprisingly disappointed with this restaurant and the expectations vice reality I received. I travel a lot so I am always excited to go to a place with such a great history but the food here was mediocre at best. The milk shake was at least 75% milk and very and I mean very little ice cream and cookies. The Larry hogan cheese steak was more bread than steak and it costed $12 for such a little amount of steak. I ordered the burger as well with the Annapolis way and that was in fact very good but sadly my burger was burnt! This disappointed me the most because I love! Burgers and the Annapolis way is so damn good but they ruined the burger. Moral of the story, the meal was not worth $80 and the service was extremely slow! for actually not being packed. I actually got my own napkins and silverware. Won't be back again but thanks for the subpar food!

What else would you order? Crab cakes were good, and huge. On street seating was not great but we had a good meal with good service.

Probably the coolest Diner I've ever been in. Great atmosphere, friendly employees and the food's great. This place is a must when in Annapolis, a destination point within a destination point.
