It's a real shame, too. When it first opened, it was really great, IMHO: good service, wide variety, really fresh seafood, especially the fish. I seem to remember a change of management (sell-out?) some time back, and it seemed to take a dive right after that. We used to like to go there on Sundays because you could get the luncheon portions/prices, but they "fixed" that after a year or so, and we went much less frequently. The place always seemed busy - was it success or failure that killed them? :-}

 The Bethesda Crab House gets good reviews, if you're up for a rather messy experience...  I am not fond of O'Donnells but certainly concur that it's worlds ahead of Bish Thompsons.  The Mexican seafood at Tia Queta's is good, although there's not too much of a choice.  Greg

I think you need to know what to order at L&N. The grilled catfish with smoked tomatoe jalapena sauce is wonderful. They over cook shrimp so stay away from that. Not sure about the other fried things. For the best seafood Crisfields on Ga. Ave. at East-West Hywy. is still tops.  The only place to go for delicious crab dishes.
