Lucky if you are visiting the Delaware and Maryland beaches on this gorgeous week-end!! No humidity, bright blue skies and perfect temperatures. If you are driving from Virginia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Maryland and surrounding areas, you are probably going to take Rt. 50 East. And, you will probably be stuck in traffic. The beaches are at their height of the season and that’s what happens.
A tip!! Stop at The Big Owl Tiki Bar in Kent Narrows. Take Exit 42, no matter which way you are going. The actual address is 3015 Kent Narrows S., Grasonville, MD 21638. Tel. 443-827-6523. Website? http://www.thebigowl.com. It opens every day of the week for lunch, dinner, coffee, and drinks. They do have live entertainment. For example, tonight, Saturday, 7/27, Levi Stevens Duo will be playing at 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. and The Big Money Band will be playing on Sunday, from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. You can check the schedule on the website above mentioned.
The Big Owl Tiki Bar literally sits on the water. Gentle breezes, and an awesome scenery as you watch the fishing boats go by.
Michael and I stopped for a bite to eat on the 4th of July week-end. Yes, we were crazy enough to be on the road and to also be stuck just like I told you. But a little detour made our trip certainly more enjoyable.
We both had the fish tacos. They were grilled, moist, and totally delicious.
The Big Owl has a following and it gets crowded, but that is part of the fun.
They have Happy Hour all day on Monday. Then, Tuesdays through Thursday, the Happy Hour is from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
I think you will certainly like it!! So, have a great week-end!

Every time I am driving from Baltimore to Rehoboth Beach, I take a look at this Dock Bar from Rt. 50 and I say….I want to stop there. For one reason or another I never do. The weather might be too hot, too cold…oh no; it’s raining. You know how it is. But, today, on such a gorgeous day, with a deep blue sky, low humidity and comfortable temperatures, my friend, Trish, and I were stopping.
The Big Owl Tiki Bar is located at 3015 Kent Narrows Way South in Grasonville, Maryland. Traveling on Rt. 50/301, the Exit is 42. Tel. 410-827-6523. Website? http://www.thebigowl.com. The Big Owl Tiki Bar is also on Facebook.
It was late in the afternoon. We had just finished one awesome day walking and touring in Annapolis, Maryland. All we wanted was to sit and enjoy the view and the Tiki Bar.
The Big Owl Tiki Bar is bright in color and it looks like so much fun. We proceeded to sit right by the water. The view is amazing; boats passing by after a day on the bay.
Jennifer was our server but she is also part of the family that owns The Big Owl Tiki Bar. We ordered something to drink and also some steamed mussels.
The Big Owl Tiki Bar opens 7 days a week. There is also entertainment Thursday through Sunday. Jennifer mentioned that her father is a professional DJ. He is there, practically, every day. On Fridays he takes over as DJ and opens a Sunset Party…using the Conch Shell as a horn as the sun sets….shots for everyone. The music will get going.
The Tiki Bar is very tropical with a Key West ambiance.
Our mussels arrived and they were in a well seasoned broth with plenty of garlic and bread to make sure that not a drop was left on the bowl.
The Bar will remain open until mid-November. They will keep their kitchen open year-round for breakfast and lunch from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. starting in October. You can order right from the Big Owl Grill and sit under the tent on the water. During the colder months they will put the sides on and add a heater.
You now know where it is located, the tel. number, the website and even the Facebook page. Check them out….it is lots of fun, and they have a good menu. We had had enough but would like to come back and try that deep fried key lime pie…it’s their own original recipe.
Have a good one!! Talk to you later.
