Went for Sunday brunch with friends. Food, hot, fresh and large portions. if you get the pancakes...come HUNGRY! Home fries are delicious. Be bold, try the Deconstructed Hicks Hash Benny's..enough for 2 people! Service was great and very attentive. Be prepared for a little wait time as everything is made to order fresh daily. Don't forget to try the She crab soup! We will be back! Tammy G. Mechanicsville resident

We were in town for a wedding and decided to try Halterman's. Our waitress was about as nice as I've ever had and gave us great recommendations. We all got something different and everyone's meal was fantastic. The seafood platter, the scallops, and the greens specifically were all delicious.

Our server is pleasant. The place is comfortable. I wanted to get the wedge salad. But my meal includes a salad, not the wedge salad, so I switched to whatever salad comes included. I got the blue cheese dressing with the salad. The pieces of blue cheese were large. It is lunch time but I chose to order the dinner potion of soft shell crab. I didn't want a sandwich. This place was a bit of a drive for us. I think we took a longer route to get here than necessary. The food is great. The soft shell crab is very flavorful and came with the salad and hush puppies. Those hush puppies are delicious. Spouse said the shrimp are great. And huge. I was so full we didn't have room for dessert. This place is fabulous. Okay. No room for dessert but we got it anyway. Beignets were our dessert of choice. The dessert was great. We did ask for some extra powdered sugar. There was a total of six. We ate two and took home the rest. This place was great. It is also getting crowded now. We eat early. We didn't realize that we never got the chips they usually give to start until after Would have liked that. And I was not given the choice of two sides. She gave me hush puppies as a second side. Loved them but would have been nice to choose my own second side.

Okay, this may be a generous 5 star rating. I acknowledge that. But it was definitely a 5 star experience on this day. My wife was craving soft shell crabs, and due to my own procrastination she didn't get any last year so I was determined to make up for it. So we called around and Halterman's had them. So off we went. The restaurant is in a strip mall about 7 miles from anywhere. Don't let this stop you. It is what I would consider a double storefront, with maybe 15 or 16 tables. Parking is very easy. Enough preliminaries, let's talk food. First, they bring house made chips and what seemed to be their tartar sauce as an amuse. The chips were crunchy and perfect, the sauce -- whatever it was -- was perfect for this and added a salty savory component. Next we ordered crab dip. This was not as crabby as I was expecting but the flavor was really good. Salamandered cheese/crab, well balanced. What stood out here was the deep fried pita wedges. We've had them baked, never deep fried. They were crisp on the outside, pillowy on the inside. Good temp control, nice bite. Then the mains. Wife had the soft shells. Came with two sides, she chose fries and deviled eggs. The soft shells were cooked eastern shore style, lightly buttermilk breaded and fried. They were exactly what she had been craving. Sweet, just at the perfect stage of soft. And the mustard was still intact -- so many kitchens remove that, and it is a mark of skill for my wife that it was there. The fries were beach-style, and we immediately asked for vinegar to augment. The deviled eggs were good for a restaurant. I had fish and chips. 3 generous pieces of fish (there's an option for just 2) with more of those fries. The fish was breaded well, and cooked to perfection. I believe they are using cod, which is an acceptable fish for this dish. I ate two, and the third piece was a nice lunch, even cold. Tartar sauce was perfect, cocktail sauce was a bit tame -- needed more horseradish. Service -- absolutely flawless. We unfortunately kept the young man running for various things we discovered we needed, and he executed without any sign of stress. Also, the hostess was obviously thorough in disinfecting tables and seats between guests. We could not have asked for a better meal or a better experience. Look, it's a fried fish place. And it has other comfort food types of things (and from a previous visit, I can promise you the desserts are good.) But taken for what it is, this is an excellent fried fish place and worth the drive.
