Rock Hall in recent decades has taken on the role of your typical seasonal town, with shops and restaurants closing during the winter months due to decreased demand. However, that no longer appears to be the case – giving nearby Chestertown a run for their money in terms of number of open dining establishments.

We will start our review of Rock Hall's ever-evolving dining scene with those operations open throughout the year – or most of the year – that have been open for some time now. These include Haven Harbour South's Ark & Dove Restaurant (pictured above), Waterman's Crab House, Harbor Shack, Blue Heron Oyster House, Osprey Point Restaurant and Ford's Seafood.

More sit-down and express eats may be found year-round at newer entrants to the Rock Hall market, including Flying Decoy, The Rock, That Place on Main and the recently opened Little Lemon Leaf Cafe.

With these 10 options and several more (Rock Hall Liquors, Java Rock and Fresh Start Market) offering take-out – matched with dwindling crowds, hiking and birdwatching at Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge, town-wide holiday festivities and more, why not make a wintertime visit to Rock Hall this quiet season? And let the Inn at Haven Harbour be your host.
