Gina's Cafe in St. Michaels - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Went in for a drink. Menu doesn't list prices?! How much is a beer? A wine? A cocktail? Could be anything.

Wow $17 for a Margarita when did that happen?? Used to come here for years when Thursdays were 1/2 price $4 Margaritas, food was good Miami Tango, service was good but those are Perry Cabin prices 😳

While looking for a place to get lunch in St. Michaels we found Gina’s. We parked in their large lot behind the restaurant and went inside through their patio. The inside was full of creative knick-knacks hanging everywhere. Their menu was full of intriguing items and we ordered the guacamole and chips for a starter. It was delicious and the puffed up slightly salty deep fried flour tortillas were a perfect compliment. I ordered their Wild Mushroom soup with local Lion’s Mane mushrooms along with several other types. The stock was hearty and contained thin sliced carrots, onions and other veggies. Delicious! I also ordered their colorful Chili Nacho’s which were covered in melted cheese and hearty bean chili topped with more great guacamole. My wife ordered the spring salad and topped it with large grilled shrimp. Everything was delicious!! Our server was on top of her game and very attentive. Gina’s was a perfect place for our lunch and we’ll go back the next time we visit St. Michael’s for sure. Besides all the great food Gina’s has a great vibe!

Sat outside in the shade with our dog on an extremely hot day, and it was lovely - lots of fans, good shade, big bowls of water for the dog, and prompt service and great food (and just the right portion size). If you’re anchored in San Domingo Creek as we were, and walk up W Chew Ave, it’s literally the first place you see. Great location and vibe.

Great atmosphere! Best crab dip I've ever had.

Service was nice. Food came out quickly. Priced poorly at $22 for 2 tacos and no sides. No chips, beans, etc come with the tacos.

Loved having dessert in the dog friendly patio at Gina’s! Excellent family run /owned restaurant. Hope to go back.

Terrace is cool. Menu sounds good but both our meals were underwhelming. I ordered the taco salad but was told they were out of lettuce. So I ordered the Miami tacos, out of mango salsa so they substituted big pineapple chunks, not pineapple salsa. That flavor combo didn’t really work. The bbq shrimp melt was just slathered in a ton bbq sauce. Being out of two important items on a Friday evening was disappointing. All that said… I’d go back but I would just get a cocktail. Like the food menu, the cocktail menu looked good. And the atmosphere was cool

Cute place. Friendly service. Good food but a little pricey. Very dog friendly.

COOLEST VIBE ANYWHERE!!!! You know that you are in the right place when you can see into the kitchen👍🏽 Everything is so fresh and delicious. Vegan & Vegetarian friendly. The staff is just as cool as the environment.

Love this place. My girlfriend and I always find time to visit and get a delicious bite to eat. It's a wonderful spot with personality to it. Food is excellent, good drinks as well, def try the Avocado boat and do not skip the desserts, they are incredible as well.

The service and the atmosphere are outstanding. The heated outdoor tent is really cute and fun. We really enjoyed our outing. The food was only ok though. We got a bunch of different things. I got the Miami tango tacos which were ok. The sprouts were a bit intense on the tacos. The nachos are almost the same as the dips. So it was a bit redundant that we got both of them. I would pick one. Maybe the dips because the chips were really fresh and delicious and crispy but you kind of lose that with the cheese. We got the chili melts which were pretty much like the two appetizers. So I’d recommend selecting one of these items. The grilled cheese and tomato soup were not traditional. It was a quesadilla but the goat cheese and balsamic wasn’t a good addition to the flavors in my opinion. The tomato soup wasn’t creamy at all and was a bit too much of the overpowering fresh tomato flavors. Overall amazing experience but not the best food. I’d come back for the fun experience and the chill vibe :)

The Best! The drinks! Amazing... The food is perfect compliment to the drinks! This place is my must if you're in St Michaels

Quick, friendly service and not a single bad item on the menu. Definitely recommended for stellar vegetarian and vegan options.

Really good nachos and blackberry margaritas. Vibe is cool you can sit outside, inside, or the heated tent. Owner is sweet and nice. Glad I came here.

Great food and service, we ordered a trio of dips and each of them was fantastic. The tacos are fresh and creative, definitely not your average taco place! It has a very small indoor eating space that can get cramped easily, but plenty of room outside if it's not too cold!

Grouper and mango salsa tacos are fantastic!

It's five stars. That's what it is. Great margaritas. We've had lots of the menu. You really can't go wrong.

Delicious Tacos, drinks were great and we loved the outdoor seating.

Maybe I'm not a fan of Mexican food but I have had better elsewhere. We got the Shore Nachos, which had crab and homemade nachos. The crab was soggy and made the nachos wet and floppy. The cheese made up for some of it but I just was not impressed. The service and location are outstanding. I should have gotten another dish.

We were on a road trip and stopped in to visit some friends who took us here. Best fish tacos I've had to memory! They don't skimp on the fish, the seasonings were on point, and the server was fast, friendly, and accommodating. We also had some crab cheese dip stuff, which was also delicious, and again, they didn't skimp on the crab! Great little place, will definitely stop by next time we're in the area!

Yum! everything was so fresh. Shrimp tacos, homemade tortilla chips and margaritas. Very casual and very good.

Disappointed with order, not very hot for saying it was baked. Found hair in food.

Had the gazpacho and shrimp tacos. Great vibes and atmosphere from the the staff ! Loved it here; the strawberry margarita mocktail was great too.

Some of the most eclectic Mexican food I've ever had EVERYTHING WE HAD WAS EXCELLENT. and bountiful Staff was extremely friendly. Not expensive. Can't wait to go back !

Cute but crowded restaurant. Expensive for lunch

Coolest lay down vibe Restaurant. Friendly outside patio where your kids can play. Food is mexican oriented and vegetarian friendly.

Absolutely fantastic! Menu was unique, food was delicious, fresh, and abundant! Margaritas were over the top! We ate way more than we should have but it was all so good we couldn’t help ourselves!! We will definitely be back- again and again!! Thank you Claudia- our bartender!!!

Service was good. Food was overpriced. Fair portions. Taste average.

I won't say it was bad, just not my type of food! vegan/ vegetarian heavy. got the nachos but there wasn't enough chip for my nachos. my vegan gf loved it tho lol !

Have been coming here for years. Always the best food, friendliest staff, and coolest vibe. I have never met a dish I didn’t like here. Love you Gina!!

Melody is finally taking a break from books and popped by this eclectic, fun little “cafe” full of nom noms and delicious drinks. The staff was attentive and friendly and the owner, Gina, was here on a Sunday being warm and welcoming and even offering us a shot when they were taste testing something new: THANKS GINA! XO Small business owner life, y’all- never stops! Worth the stop here, for sure!

The chef is an awesome guy, he’s created some really nice and unique menu items. The staff is friendly and their menu is suitable for everyone. Will absolutely be back!!

Amazing fresh food and service. Adorable decor. Authentic. Felt like I was in Santa Fe!

Eat inside or outside, the food is superb!

Great tacos, pretty good home-made Sangria (ask for ice). Dog friendly, relaxed place with outdoor, shaded picnic area. Best southwest tacos east of New Mexico.

Fun little spot right in town. Portions are small for the price but good quality. Love all the colorful art!

Had a great mid-afternoon lunch. Great food, hospitality, scrabble pieces, and drinks.

Lovely tacos and wonderful kind staff

Really enjoyed the food and that dark and stormy to dry off from the rain

Took the dogs and ate outside Food was wonderful and they were all so friendly with pets

Very small, very cool, food and drinks were all excellent, bartender was fun, what more could you ask for?

Great food and drinks in a great and unique outdoor seating area. Prices are a little high, but these days, many things cost more. We shared the 3 dip app and all 3 dips were delicious.

Terrible crab taco and customer service. I was the only person in the place and they made sit at bar while all the servers took over the tables chit chatting. Enjoyed my trip to St. Michaels in the summer but this was the low point of my trip.

We had drinks and their key lime coctails tasted like pie in a glass.

Great chips. Horrible service. Get your **** together guys.

I'm not sure if I'm just lucky to have good taco's at a reasonable price, but the food here was arguably some of the worst food I've ever had in my life. We ordered the grab dip, 2 tacos and two margaritas . The dip was edible, the tacos were not, and the margaritas horrible (we did not drink them). I would beware of all positive reviews.

Gina brought us delicious butternut squash soup to try. We ordered the special tacos of the day- unique flavors, recipe and done to perfection- you don’t want to miss stopping here while visiting eastern shore.

The tacos were amazing! Fresh with superb flavor! Also the lemonade was definitely homemade and very refreshing.

The best nachos I've had this year. Crab, mozzarella and homemade flour tortilla chips. Just perfect with the margarita

The food was incredible! Especially the Miami Tangos and the Grizzly Adams!

Imagine a beautiful day, sky is blue, birds are chirping and you're eating a plateful of Gina's Shore Nachos with house-made flour chips, while relaxing in their outdoor courtyard. YUM! Other favorites are the Light House tacos, and the dillas, and for the love all of that's good, get the Xangos! Oh, and make sure you get a Key Lime crush, or any other crush or margarita, we won't judge, and you won't be disappointed.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this spot. Atmosphere out the wazoo. Decor, music, owner Gina and Captain Mike were amazing. And the Tacos!! Fresh and delicious. “Gina’s Marg” was a treat. Just everything we were looking for in a relaxed vacation meal.

Cute cafe with lots of outdoor seating. Very generously stuffed crab tacos were excellent.

They advertise take out but the last times we’ve called they were not able to take a take out order. One Thursday they told me they were closed, which they weren’t. This time they are out of boxes and just had a large sit in order. They advertise take out but for those of us that live in St. Michaels, we can no longer call Gina’s.

Everything from the margaritas to the tacos was delicious and the staff was super friendly! We would definitely eat here again.

Tried to eat here on father's day at 5pm, door was open as my husband and I walked by...we weren't sure if we seat ourselves outside and as we turned around to ask a woman who was sweeping by the entrance the door was abruptly shut by her...when she clearly knew we were trying to eat there ...my husband proceeds to open the door because their website said they close at 6 on Sundays and she proceeds to tell us they're closed with no explanation but a blank stare. Not sure if true but if so update your hours on Google!

Best margs in St. Michaels! Gina's is always our first stop when we come into town. The drinks, food, and atmosphere are great here as well as the service.

So the girlfriend and I spent 3 days in St. Michaels and ate at many restaurants (and if you're looking for a quaint town with lots of food options def check out St. Michaels!). So on our 2nd night we decided to eat at Gina's which was a departure from our seafood laden haunts that we had been to since we arrived. The decor is amazing inside and the music was fun! The staff was all incredibly helpful (the bartender checked on us, the wait staff checked on us, even the busser checked on us!). But the food was the true highlight. Girlfriend had the Miami Tango Tacos which were delicious and not overwhelming and I had the special burrito of the day which was vegetarian and simply to die for. Dessert was only one option, the Xangos (pictured) and it was also so so good. Oh we each had a drink and the check was not outrageous whatsoever. After returning home we tried to decide what our favorite activity was in St. Michaels as well as place to eat. Activity was (big shoutout here) the Maritime Museum. Place to eat? Easily Gina's Cafe.

I was really excited about this place when I found it online. However, I feel a bit like it was a bait and switch. After we arrived and ordered the Gina's Margarita, we found out the menu provided was all they would be able to provide due to a chef change. The courtyard where we were sitting had a large board with the full menu and I didn't see anything online about the limited menu, so I was a little disappointed when I could only order a few items, and the dillas were not an option. My wife and I ordered the Shore Nachos, which were very good and had quite a lot of crab on them. However, we left afterwards for another restaurant where we could order a full meal for dinner. At least the margarita was pretty good as well and was strong.

Great spot! Great Grub & Awesome staff!

When we visited St. Michaels in May of 2021, we enjoyed Gina's so much we skipped some of our other plans to relax at the corner table out front, eat, and people watch for hours. The food was great & the cocktails were creative and delicious. For such a small spot it is huge in character. Again, or meal was delicious too the extent that we just kept trying different things from the menu. There are plenty of posh looking restaurants in St. Michaels, but we preferred the slower down, family friendly, home cooked experience of Gina's.

Wonderful place for munch. Really tasty, interesting quesadillas and taco choices, well spiced and big servings. Some outdoor seating also.

Charming little place. Hearty food, modest price and pleasant staff

Awesome place to hang out and get a bit eat! The nachos and margaritas alone are tasty enough to warrant a return visit - but everything we tried was amazing. The Grizzly Adams quesadilla was spot on, as was the chili. Love the ambiance, music, and location. Gina and crew - keep up the good work!!!

Excellent as always! Fresh Tex Mex food, everything is so tasty! Awesome margaritas made with fresh lime juice. Try Gina's you won't regret it.

Stopped in Gina's for lunch on a very hot day in July. The service was friendly and quick. We enjoyed the tacos and quesadilla. The guacamole was also very good. There was an extensive list of cocktails and two beers on tap, with a rotating craft IPA. If you are in the area, stop in for a bite.

What a nice place. Everyone in the family loved their dishes. The only downfall is road noise.

Amazing food! Gina's sits right on main street with a large tent and picnic tables. Glorious drink specials. I got the sesame street tacos, sesame tuna tacos with a chipotle mayo and it was outstanding! Great staff and great low key atmosphere.

Great spot for light bites and cocktails with a charming outdoor atmosphere. Come for cocktails and stay for the avocado boats!

Menu is more Mexican-style than in earlier years. Nice outside seating. Very friendly, accommodating staff. A great pace t have lunch on a sunny day. Food was very good. Service efficient. Easy place to grab a fast, interesting lunch.

Service was good and so was food nice place to eat

i really really really wanted this to be good; but it wasn’t. i am vegetarian and was craving some good veggie food ... the bloody mary was undrinkably sour and spicy the ambiance was supposed to feel beach shack chic - eh, just shacky the tres dippy were ok but the chips served with them were heavy greasy and not good i had the’ chum bucket’ and Ari had the nacho plate - oy!!! they heaviest vegetarian meal ever and just not very good. again, the food was very so so and the chips were stank we tipped the staff well but i recommend a complete menu redo i never did finish my bloody and ari left unsatisfied

Very cool, cozy place to hang out, chat with friends and make new ones

Super friendly staff & AMAZING food! I can't wait to come back 😊

Wonderful people and delicious food.

Came to Easton to pay a traffic ticket 😅 saw the reviews and came for st Patrick’s day. I gotta say, it was worth the drive!! Best service ever!!! Best shore nachos, I got the bbq shrimp melt, and hubby got Miami tangos, and the lite house tacos, I’m seriously impressed!! The Gina Rita.... man that was amazing!!!! Definitely worth the drive and price!!!! I absolutely loved the place!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ the service we received made it all much better!!

We were seated in the tent area and ordered drinks and nachos. This turned out to be our favorite place to eat while in St. Michaels. We were warm and cozy, next to a space heater on a cold day, and the food and drinks were great! The regular nachos were terrific- only they would benefitted from having had fresh jalapenos instead of the jarred ones.

Neat place. Have always liked it. Niche foods and cocktails!

Love Ginas! They have a great outdoor dining area with a fire pit. The food here is incredible. Wish they were open all the time!

Gina greeted us with a friendly welcome even though her restaurant wasn’t yet open for the day. She kindly offered us margaritas and dips until the chef arrived for normal dining hours. We were very appreciative of the hospitality!

Good outdoor dining under a tent on main street in St Michaels. Walk around this quaint town and end up here. Dining is in back, so away from street noise. Good food and attentive service. Extra bonus- Bananagrams tiles to keep you busy while you wait.

We had heard that Gina's is a local favorite in St. Michaels, so we had to try it out! Got there around noon and within 10 minutes all the outside tables were full. The drinks are STRONG and delicious. Flavored margaritas and delicious food. The appetizers are entre sized and will fill you up!!! We had the crabmeat nachos and a crabdip to start, and were BLOWN AWAY by the size and amount of toppings on the nachos. They don't skimp on anything here!!! That's the way to do business, in my opinion! They don't skimp on the booze, or the crab, or the ingredients in any of their food. And they make their own tortilla chips, ok?? Best flavored and with an awesome crunch. Even though the nachos defeated my husband and me, we HAD to order some of their famous tacos. My husband got the sesame tuna with seaweed salad and sushi ginger. He and I are not even a fan of seaweed salad and it was AMAZING. I got the shrimp tacos with a mango salsa, and was blown away. Both had such a huge amount of seafood and sauce and the flavor combinations were out of this world. We can see why this place is a favorite! Definitely the most casual place we ate at in St. Michaels, and we loved the decor and cute centerpieces, which were different at every table. Dogs were welcome, and the tables were spaced well with COVID precautions. Servers would visit at least 2 tables to take orders, without ever writing anything down, and nothing was ever messed up! Amazing job, and amazing restaurant! Gina, whoever you are, you ROCK! :)

Friendly server, tasty origunal cocktails, yummy food. Their outdoor dining space is comfortable and attractive. Lots of vegetarian choices. Mexican style cuisine with originality.

Great drinks and live music on Sunday afternoon that we were there

Phenomenal food, fresh drinks, and Great service. Highly recommend it. We ordered Lime in Coconut, but I had lemon juice in mine. Chum Bucket - vegetarian nachos w beandip, and tacos w perfectly seared salmon. This food and drinks really made us want to come back again. Also they have Ginas Cafe in Millersville, MD as well.

You definitely get your moneys worth here! The food is delicious and they don't skimp out. Most dishes are 100% homemade- tortillas and tortilla chips included. Drinks are strong in a good way. My husband and I felt very safe dining here 9 months into the Coronavirus pandemic as tables are well spaced and everyone wore masks.

As a local, it's our favorite restaurant in St. Michaels, and one of our favorites in the area. Probably the best vegetarian/ pescetarian menu around and a regular bargain.

I love Gina's. Fresh squeezed margarita's , shrimp taco's and a cool chill atmosphere.

We had another great meal at Gina's! The food is always fresh, the drinks are delicious and the atmosphere is relaxed.

Good margaritas and tacos. Service was great!

I'm glad we asked some locals where to eat. As they said, "Sneeze and you'll miss it." This place is fantastic. Five of us showed up in the early afternoon and were seated almost immediately. Servers were friendly and helpful. Food was fantastic. Blue crab and shrimp tacos were the big hits, but the chum bucket and crab nacho appetizers were also delicious. We actually got our appetizers after the tacos and we barely could finish everything. I just can't believe how much crab meat there was in each taco! Definitely a place I tagged immediately on my phone and a place I will visit every time I'm in the area.

We had the "Shore Nachos" and the "Lite House Tacos." Excellent food and service.

Friendly staff, great food, nice patio

We had the nachos. Wow! Great salsa and guacamole and a very large portion. Messy and delicious

Live the sesame street tacos! Blackened sesame tuna! I drive all the way from Alexandria, VA for these!

We stopped by Gina's today with the little ones. It's our FAVORITE restaurant in St. Michael's. Great service, FOOD and atmosphere (outdoor dining with a little people watching). I really appreciate the safety measures the staff put in place by wearing masks and only allowing outdoor dining. We cannot wait to visit again!

I come here every time I visit St Michaels and it always delivers! The fresh fruit margaritas and tacos and dip. Everything is excellent and the staff are always friendly. Awesome vibe, chill atmosphere, relaxing and friendly and delicious. I highly recommend.

Miami tango is 👌🏼great drinks as well

The best grapefruit crush and tacos I’ve had. Absolutely worth the wait. I want to go back for dinner!
