On the strength of a co-worker, my dining companion suggested we try Kentmoor Restaurant and Crab Shack. We made reservations through Yelp and arrived on a Sunday afternoon. Parking was congested, but luckily they have parking attendants to direct traffic. As you walk towards the restaurant, we were stopped by another employee that asked if we were there for the beach or restaurant. Since Kentmorr is located directly on the water, they have a beach in the back of the restaurant. We would've come for the beach, but didn't make reservations early enough. Not sure how early in advance you have to make them, but you can reserve a space on the beach for $5 and eat on the beach.
We went to the restaurant side, where you can eat under the covered outdoor porch with ceiling fans or indoors. We ate outdoors. Service and all the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful! Although we didn't order crabs, we noticed the tables around us did and they were pretty large. The food we did order was pretty tasty, with the exception of my potato casserole. I wasn't a fan! My stuffed cod with crab imperial had more shells than I would like, but had good flavor. The drinks we ordered were just okay.
Not sure if the restaurant bathroom is the only one on site for the beach and the restaurant, but it's horrible. It contains only two stalls, the floors were wet and grimy, and at any given time a line was outside the door. I guess if you're solely coming here for crabs this would be a great spot to visit, but I personally am not interested in traveling over an hour to eat crabs and go home. That's just my opinion.
This was an okay restaurant and I probably would've enjoyed the beach experience much better, but I wouldn't make a special trip to come here in the future. It's just too many other options in Kent Island to choose from. We tried it, it was okay, on to the next.
