Taylor's Neighborhood Restaurant

Taylor's is the closest thing Ocean Pines has to a house crab kitchen. The bar and restaurant on Nicholas Lane has run since 1999. It serves the community year-round after the beach rooms go dark. There are no steam kettles here. The crab order is the broiled jumbo lump crab cake sandwich, posted at 24 dollars on the current menu. Cream of crab soup backs it at 8 a cup and 14 a bowl. TripAdvisor ranks it second among Ocean Pines restaurants at 3.9. Google reviewers hold it at 4.1. Regulars come for the crab cake and the game on the room's wall of televisions. Complaints run to off-night kitchen misses.
