"I am deeply disappointed with my recent experience at Surf Rider Chesapeake. This used to be one of my favorite spots for fresh, quality seafood, but it’s clear that things have taken a turn for the worse. I ordered shrimp and clams with a side salad and broccoli. Shockingly, broccoli, which used to be a standard side, is now upcharged, with the excuse that it 's too big for one side. This just adds to the frustration of what followed. The salad I received looked absolutely unappetizing, as though it had been carelessly thrown together. It was served at room temperature with wilted greens—disgusting and far from the fresh, crisp salad I used to enjoy here. When I mentioned to the server that the salad didn’t look or taste fresh, she was rude and dismissive. She rushed off with it and returned abruptly with what appeared to be the exact same salad. This behavior raises serious concerns about food handling practices at this restaurant. It 's alarming to see the decline in service and food quality at Surf Rider Chesapeake. The management has clearly changed, and not for the better. The high turnover in staff is evident, especially when you see fliers soliciting employees hanging in the men’s room, which was also poorly maintained. At this point, Surf Rider is lucky if I don’t file a formal complaint with the local health department. This was once a place I loved for its fresh, quality food and fair prices, but I’m not sure I’ll be returning after this experience. Very disappointed."
