Robert Morris Inn

My friends and I had an incredibly delicious dinner here! Everything we ordered was a delight--for apps, the crispy ginger oysters and beef empanadas were *perfectly* fried and full of flavor. There was a tuna special that my bf enjoyed but the true star of the meal was the crabcakes. We're spoiled with good crab out here on the eastern shore but these were the best cakes I've had--so full of fresh lump crabmeat, they could just barely hold together and melted in your mouth (the orzo salad they're served on was also stellar). We can't wait to go back and try more dishes--kudos to the new owner and his team!

I come to the Robert Morris Inn to decompress from my stressful life. I am not looking for amazing service or luxurious rooms, all I value is the peacefulness of the location and a great tavern with delicious food in a friendly atmosphere.

Lunch was incredible and so delicious! Enjoyed the flatbread pizza with excellent caramelized onions. The mixed greens salad with fruit was perfect, too. Highly recommended.

Just came for breakfast but it was phenomenal. Chicken and waffles were the best I've had, great service, beautiful location dining outside on the patio

We did not stay at the inn but we ate there. Mrs Claus said it was the best Crab cake Sandwich she has ever eaten (and she was born and raised on the Jersey Shore). We both absolutely loved the crab soup. We are crab soup at 5 different locations on this trip. The soup at the Inn hands down was the best. Great atmosphere and with tons of history. Santa and Mrs Claus give it 4 👍👍👍👍 up!!!

This review is for dinner at the Inn's Tavern restaurant. We are staying in Easton but wanted a special location for our anniversary dinner, so we made an online reservation and drove down to Oxford for dinner at the Inn. The drive was lovely, and Oxford is a quaint, charming little town. Our dinner was a 5 star experience. We ordered a drink and a glass of wine, and we shared the Eastern Shore crab appetizer, which is lump crab wrapped in paper thin cucumber slices. The delicate presentation is gorgeous and it is very tasty. My husband enjoyed his fish and chips. I had the shrimp curry, which was outstanding. I almost licked the plate to get the last bit of the sauce. Our server was pleasant and the food came out promptly. We shared a piece of Smith Island cake for dessert, and then we walked down to the water to take in the sunset. I could not have been happier with the restaurant choice. There are lots of restaurants in Easton, but the Inn is a historic gem and the food was so good.

Upping my review to 5 stars - the experience I had at the Inn’s restaurant was excellent! Great service and amazing food. Presentation and ambiance also contribute to the experience and make it feel authentic. Would definitely return in the future. Hope to one day experience the Inn as a guest in one of the rooms!

We had our anniversary dinner at the Inn, while visiting Oxford. Caprese salad was excellent. My softshell crab special was to die for. My husband had a beef shoulder special that was excellent too. Great food and good service. Very nice experience.

We had our small wedding here in mid May and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Rain meant we had to move the service inside but Elinor couldn’t have been more gracious and accommodating. We reserved the front room and had the ceremony in front of the fireplace, then moved the group to the lobby for champagne and canapés while the crew flipped the room and set the table for dinner for 14. The food (Mark’s menu- worked out with us in advance) was absolutely outstanding, and we gave him a standing ovation when he came to say hi at the end of the meal. Can’t say enough about the service, the food, and the location. A truly wonderful, perfect night made possible by the Robert Morris Inn.

This is a very lovely inn for anyone who appreciates period Americana and peaceful coastal settings. We had a very nice mini suite with river views. The hotel is welcoming of dogs and the tavern is good, so I think we will return.

The highlight of our visit was the day spent at the Robert Morris Inn. Just such a delight to experience such history first-hand accompanied by an exquisite meal at the on-premise restaurant. We were ecstatic and can strongly recommend this beautiful and historical inn to anyone seeking a getaway while experiencing such a steeped-in-history location. Bravo!

We absolutely loved this little jewel of history on the edge of Oxford Beach. Sandra, our server, was so incredibly helpful and very informative.very friendly and happy . The food was delicious, and the desserts were recommended by Sandra and certainly didn't disappoint. We loved our moment of heaven there and very much looking forward to another visit soon .

The best crab cakes so far. I've eaten crab cakes every day since we are in Md. The blue cheese slaw was amazing.

Check your expectations at the door. This is marketed heavily as being the oldest full service inn in the country, and that is exactly what you get. If you are looking for modern amenities then save yourself and the staff the trouble and look elsewhere. If you’re looking for an experience—to stay in a building rich with history, that has been excellently preserved while still meeting modern hygiene and safety standards then keep reading. From the American perspective this inn is absolutely ancient. You will find it very difficult to find buildings in this country that are as old as this one. Keep that in mind as you begin ascending the staircase. When you step into your room, remember that you’re stepping back into a different time. As someone who has worked on old homes since he was 10 years old, I can tell you that building materials will speak to you if you listen. Take the time to appreciate the wide plank floors. They ripple and creek because the foundation has settled into the earth for over 300 years. The wood has been breathing moisture in and out with the climate for centuries. The bricks in the fireplace were handmade and shipped to the colonies from England as ballasts for newly build ships. The molding thick with countless layers of paint to suit every imaginable purpose a house of this size could accommodate over its many years. This house feels the way an old tree or a castle feels, a relic of the past who’s heyday has long since past, still standing against all odds. You’re staying in a living museum so keep that in mind and enjoy it as such.

Absolutely amazing place. Could not more strongly recommend it. We have been coming for years and always look forward to it.

Great owners, great chef, great staff, great food (and drinks) and great rooms.

This place is head and shoulders above!!

Can't wait to come back again.

We stayed in the cottage which was clean and well appointed. Staff were all most helpful. Bar was relaxing. Breakfast and dinner service was excellent. Ate each twice. Food was superb! The menu changes seasonally. See my pics. Chef Salter puts a lot of care into his menu. If we could've, we would've stayed more nights just to get through each item on the dinner menu. Specials on our second night were rockfish, short ribs, and PEI moules. Fabulous! Sticky toffy pudding and pavlova (Eaton mess) desserts my husband declared as authentic. We loved the darkened pub side of the house. Very English. We're looking forward to coming back soon and hopping on that ferry. Thank you to everyone at Robert Morris Inn.

The staff was very friendly. Breakfasts were delicious. We did not get a chance to eat in the restaurant, but the chef/owner has won awards. There is a cozy tavern downstairs. Be prepared---- this is a VERY old building, so don't expect fancy room amenities. The property is very well maintained. There is Wifi, but no TV. The age lends charm. As a very old and historic house, of course there is a resident ghost, but we didn't get to meet him! Maybe next time..
The location is beautiful.

The food was great ant the service was better. My husband enjoyed the fish and chips and my organic salad with homemade dressing was awesome. The grilled asparagus was so tasty. But best of all was the caramelized pecan pie with vanilla ice cream. Our server, Marguerite, was very friendly and attentive as was the rest of the staff. Great experience and we'll be back!

For two years in a row I have visited the inn for a few days in May. I chose to stay in a "cottage" room since stairs are difficult for me and the cottage rooms have only a few steps. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed and a large window looking out on Tred Avon River and the ferry landing (Oxford-Bellevue Ferry.) I enjoyed watching the craft on the river and sunset over the water. I took my meals in the Tavern dining area and thought the food was good and with sufficient variety. Desserts include sticky toffee pudding and Smith Island multi-layered cake. One evening I had the roasted chicken breast with vegetables and thought the sauce was delicious. It even made the brussels sprouts tasty and I usually don't like brussels sprouts. The day I left I stopped in Easton for lunch and realized I had left my opal ring in the cottage. I called the inn, the office manager found my ring and held it in the office until I finished lunch and returned to get it. She refused any reward. Thanks to all the staff for a very pleasant stay. (A friend who lives near Annapolis joined me for lunch one day. Dining outside on the verandah is also an option.)

Wonderful little historic inn located in Oxford, MD. Great views of the Tred Avon River. Rooms were very comfortable but quite funky. This inn was built in 1710, so don't expect modern comfort and construction. Floors were uneven. The bathroom a converted closet. But, that is what gives it its charm. It is not cookie cutter. And, the food is amazing. The breakfasts are included and there is a wide variety. The dinners are wonderful as well (in fact,we ended up eating there twice). There was a guitarist playing the next night to add to the atmosphere. Simply everything about the place was enjoyable and relaxing. If you are looking or a place to go to get away from the rush, I highly recommend coming here.
