“ My family and I have been frequenting this spot for decades. The food is typically on point, but in occasion the pit beef can be dry. I tend to order the BBQ sandwiches-so to ensure the meat isn't dry. Their coleslaw is THE BEST, truly! Onion rings to kill for. Beach fries are delicious. Most of the meats are great, you'll find your order, and try the onion rings and/or fries, you won't regret! ”
“ Great customer service and I received a corn bread because I didn't eat Cole slaw w/ my shrimp basket... outstanding food with great prices 5 stars ”
“ You can never go wrong with a pit beef sandwich wit cheese and tiger sauce! Love this place ”
“ We can't always drive up to Baltimore for some good ol' Chaps Pit Beef but we're glad to have The Canopy as a worthy competitor. We ordered the pit beef sandwiches, onion rings, and puled pork bbq and they were quickly wolfed. Love that the pulled pork wasn't dry and not too stringy. My husband loved char on the pit beef and the kids loved the creamy mac and cheese. We tried the soup of the day, which was the cream of crab and you can definitely taste the crab. All in all, a winner! As a side note, we were very glad to see the place was crowded for lunch. We love seeing the support for small businesses. ”
