The atmosphere is what you would expect from a open pit restaurant. But most people buy the food for takeout and you can call ahead for that but, they are so quick here you really don't need to do that they also do catering.

Might be my new favorite spot for pit beef. The perfect amount of smoke with char'd bits cooked to temp. Protein stacked high, would be a "large" at any other spot but this is their usual. Great kaiser roll, didn't fall apart. Small menu, fast moving. Onions sliced on a deli slicer for the perfect bite. Awesome selection of sauces to choose from. The only downside is I'm over an hour away.

I used them to cater my son's graduation party, and they were excellent. The food was eaten almost down to the last pound and everyone raved about it. I'll definitely use them for future gatherings. (We ordered Pit Beef, Pit Turkey, Sausage and Peppers, Mac & Cheese, Baked Beans, and Potato Salad.)

We recently used Bayside for our staff summer dinner. It was phenomenal. Super fast responses as we planned. Incredibly helpful staff the day of. They made everything happen that we were looking for! The food was incredible. Super fresh, hot and lots of it. Our staff had a fantastic time and we are so grateful to Bayside for helping that happen!

Bayside Bull offers delicious sandwich selections with the meat piled so high you can barely get a bite. All the meats are fresh and wonderfully flavored. Fries are double fried and mega crispy. Fresh salads are great and their sauce bar is full of selections. Great job Bayside Bull! We will be back.

My partner and I held a large family reunion at the annapolis maritime museum (AMM) recently and went with Bayside Bulls. They were the absolute best pick we could have imagined. The food was amazing (crab cakes and beef entree and chicken satay as the app). Upfront pricing info was super appreciated, the day-of coordinators and staff made the event run smoothly, and setup/teardown was made super easy. Thanks for everything! We would recommend you to anyone wanting to use the AMM venue and generally anyone who wants to host a nice get together with friends and family.

Picked up some catered food for a friendly gathering for the forth of July. The people who work there are excellent. They were so friendly and helpful. From the cooks and the food preparation folks the the incredibly nice gentleman who helped load my car. Very professional. The food was excellent. I liked everything about my visit and the food quality and variety.

Bayside Catering catered my Annapolis wedding May of 2026 and were undoubtedly the easiest decision that I made during my planning process. Jessica the catering manager is quick to respond, patient with endless questions and helpful in ways I didn’t know possible (she helped with the floor plan). The food was incredible. The guests enjoyed it so much there were no leftovers. Bayside performed full services including bartending, tending to the buffet, set up and breakdown. They even had a catering manager onsite Ben to ensure that everything went smoothly. Spoiler alert- it did! They are affordable when compared to other wedding caterers and straightforward with pricing. All of my vendors who found out I was working with Bayside were thrilled and said I had absolutely chosen the best catering option for food and service. I could not be more grateful to them for the wonderful experience I had on my wedding day.
