On the Choptank River near Hurlock, the Suicide Bridge Restaurant earns its name from the old lift bridge above the draw and its enduring place in Eastern Shore history. The waterfront setting on a quiet tributary of the Choptank is genuinely beautiful, the blue crab steamers are consistent, and the character of the place (unhurried, genuinely Eastern Shore, removed from the tourist circuit) is exactly what people who venture off the main roads through the Shore are looking for.
