Miss Shirley's Cafe, Annapolis

I recently learned that I have an allergy to hybrid wheat, which makes dining out tricky. A lot of places label things as gluten free, yet the flavor or texture takes a hit. This restaurant was a refreshing change. Our server Megan (pretty sure that was her name!) took the time to help me choose a meal that fit my needs without sacrificing taste or comfort. Everything was hearty, flavorful, and genuinely satisfying. The service felt thoughtful and attentive, and the atmosphere had that cozy, welcoming energy that makes you want to stay a while. I left happy, full, and grateful to have found a place that truly understands dietary needs while still serving great food. ✨🍽️

Quaint place with a convenient location just past the bridge. There is street and affordable garage parking. Lots of seating but I recommend timing right on weekends as it’s popular. The service was attentive and helpful. Clearly defined dishes so no one accidentally ate allergens. The only downside I would say it’s it’s a bit pricey. The shrimp and grits were smaller than expected and cost $27. The drinks were good and just the right amount of strong. The interior is nice but it’s not a super “unique” interior, it’s more about quality of food. The hot honey chicken dishes are a MUST.

I took my two kids here on a Monday at 11. We were seated quickly. Overall the food was really good. My daughter didn’t love her pancakes. But the waffles and crab hash and fried green tomato egg Benedict were delicious.
