Mike's Inland At Sunset Restaurant & Crab House — Restaurant in Glen Burnie

Was excited to try this place. It looks very pretty inside and is very bright. Things started off well that they are a Coca-Cola facility, and it was very good. However, we were disappointed that drinks were served in opaque, thin, and flimsy plastic cups--the kind you would have at a cookout. We ordered the crabdip appetizer. It was $17 for about 6 oz of dip. It was good, but it was a very small portion and 1 small loaf of warm bread for 3 of us. The bread was good, but it would have been nice to have 2 loaves, especially at the price. We were given white cardboard plates to eat that on. My friends ordered shrimp salad and fries for $16. They said there wasn't much spice in the shrimp salad and asked for Old Bay, and it helped. The fries were standard restaurant crinkle fries--nothing special - but they were hot and good. I got the coconut shrimp appetizer as my meal for $13. There were 6 decent sized shrimp and a tasty dipping sauce. They were cooked well and not over fried. However, they were served in a cardboard tray like you'd get at a fast food place. I just expected there to be real dishes and at least hard plastic drinking cups. The crab dip and shrimp salad were on real dishes, and the silverware was restaurant standard. It looks very nice and more upscale in decor than our food represented. The menu didn't have as many offerings as I expected either. Our waiter was nice, but he took a long time checking in on us, and we had to ask for drink refills every time. Because the cups were small, we had 4 refills. He seemed very inexperienced and talked very softly--it was hard to hear him. The restroom was clean and pretty, but only one stall. Overall, the food was good, but not great. I guess I just had higher...

Do NOT go to the new Mike’s Inland at Sunset for their Crabs. I had the worse experience. I went in excited to try the AYCE because I am a frequent customer at the Pasadena location and the crabs came out OVEN ROASTED BURNT AND DRY. One patch came out (5) that was freshly steamed after I sent one back and then the rest after came out burnt and roasted DRY again. I told the waiter to not send me anymore crabs and she came out with the bill still charging me. The Manager then came out not apologetic AT ALL, aggressively saying that no one else sent them back today so he wasn't going to allow me to say that the crabs were bad. Luckily I have PICS and at first I wasn't going to post their new restaurant because I LOVVEEE THE PASADENA location and their staff but THIS PLACE is A NO. Very gorgeous on the inside but when management acts this way I have a problem. The picture speaks for itself. FRIED & DRIED. I offered to pay for the one patch that I ate 1/2 doz which was ACTUALLY STEAMED but this was after I had to fight to not pay for the AYCE after they say me send them back 3 times. He told me that I can keep ordering AYCE multiple times but who wants OVEN...

I had the pleasure of dining at Mike's Inland at Sunset Restaurant recently, and it’s a spot worth checking out for seafood fans. The rockfish bites were the highlight—crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor, they were an absolute treat. The hush puppies were equally impressive, perfectly fried with a delightful balance of crispiness and subtle sweetness. These two dishes alone make this place a must-visit!

The ambiance inside was warm and inviting, with a cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home, though I should note there are no windows to enjoy any actual sunset views despite the restaurant’s name. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.

On the downside, the steamed dishes could use a boost in flavor. While they were well-prepared, they felt a bit bland and would benefit from bolder seasoning or a zesty sauce to bring them to life.

All in all, Mike's Inland at Sunset is a great choice for a seafood fix, especially for those incredible rockfish bites and hush puppies. A little tweak to the steamed dishes would make this place even better. I’m already looking forward to my next...
