Big Sam’s Raw Bar is a local favorite located in the heart of Rudee Inlet. We are a casual seafood raw bar rooted in fresh Chesapeake Bay seafood, quality ingredients, and genuine hospitality. Our menu highlights include jumbo lump crab cakes, our signature double-grilled chicken wings, made unlike anywhere else and our award-winning Grandma’s Buttermilk Pancakes, along with a wide variety of flavorful options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With over 30 years of quality service, Big Sam’s has been shaped by loyal locals and dedicated employees, many of whom have been part of our story since day one. This long-standing community has helped cultivate a welcoming, family-style atmosphere that keeps guests coming back year after year. Enjoy waterfront dining with both indoor and outdoor seating, handcrafted signature cocktails, and our onsite tiki hut shop featuring Big Sam’s merchandise.
