Well, well, well… it’s Mischief Night. 😈

That magical night when an entire generation of kids became unsupervised little criminals armed with toilet paper, eggs, shaving cream, and absolutely ZERO parental supervision.

And somehow, we all survived.

No Ring cameras.
No Life360.
No neighborhood Facebook detectives.

Just a bunch of little as****es running through the neighborhood hoping nobody recognized our jackets. 😂

So in honor of Mischief Night, we’re opening the confession booth!

What’s the WORST thing you ever did on Mischief Night growing up?

Egged somebody’s house?
TP’d the principal’s trees?
Relocated somebody’s lawn furniture?
Something that STILL hasn’t been solved by local authorities? 👀

Come on, Gen X. We KNOW you’ve got stories.

And don’t worry… we’re pretty sure the statute of limitations has expired.

P.S. If you were one of those kids who stayed home and behaved, this post probably isn’t for you. 😂

Happy Mischief Night from The ViEW at Skipjack Cove!

I swear, you cannot make some of this s**t up. 😂

Restaurant owners, servers, bartenders, and anyone who has ever worked with the general public… this one’s for YOU!

What’s the most ridiculous request a customer has ever made?

I’ll give you an example.

“Can you ask the band to turn it down? We’re sitting right next to the speakers.”

Absolutely! Would you also like me to ask the river to stop making waves? 😂

Now it’s your turn!

What’s the most ridiculous thing a customer has ever asked you to do?

No names. No identifying details. Just the kind of requests that make you walk into the kitchen, stare at the wall, and question every decision that led you to this career.

Because sometimes the customer isn’t always right.

Sometimes the customer just needs a nap. 😂

P.S. Speaking of music… it’s Friday Night Live on the Sass! 🎶

JD Webb is joining us TONIGHT from 7–10 PM at the View at Skipjack Cove!

Just one guy, his guitar, and some good old-fashioned acoustic music that’s practically therapy for the soul.

And if you think THAT needs to be turned down, I’m not sure what to tell you.

Perhaps we should skip the live entertainment altogether and have someone come over to your table, tuck you in, and sing you a lullaby. 😂

Sorry, not sorry. We’re keeping the music!

See you on the Sass! ❤️

🦪 Marriage counseling is expensive. Oysters are a dollar.

We’re not saying they’ll fix your relationship, but for $12, it’s worth a shot. 🤷🏼‍♀️

BUCK-A-SHUCK THURSDAY! 🦪

See you tonight! Doors open at 4 PM!

I’ve been married long enough to know that sometimes the best way to settle an argument is to involve several thousand complete strangers.

Because clearly, that’s healthy. 😂

So, welcome to the first edition of Val vs. Eric: Marriage Debates Nobody Asked For.

Today’s disagreement:

If your spouse snores so loudly that you can’t sleep, is it acceptable to record them and play it back at FULL VOLUME the next morning?

One of us says that’s educational.

The other says that’s psychological warfare.

One believes that if you sound like a chainsaw trying to start in the middle of a thunderstorm, you deserve to hear the evidence.

The other believes that what happens while you’re unconscious should NOT be held against you.

So, we’re taking this one to the court of public opinion.

Who’s right?

And while we’re at it… who’s the snorer in YOUR relationship?

Don’t be shy. This is a safe space.

Well, relatively safe. Your spouse might be reading the comments. 😂

P.S. It’s Thursday, which means Buck-a-Shuck oysters at the View at Skipjack! 🦪 Starting at 4 PM, so get your butt down to the Sass! And if your spouse kept you awake snoring all night, bring them along. They owe you dinner anyway. 😂

Good morning beautiful people.

I’ve decided to jeopardize several friendships today.

Let’s settle something.

Crab cakes: broiled or fried?

Proceed carefully.

Here’s $100.

You’re taking someone out for dinner.

You have to choose ONE:

A. Amazing food, terrible atmosphere.

B. Beautiful waterfront atmosphere, mediocre food.

C. Incredible service, average food.

D. Fantastic cocktails, but your date talks about their ex the entire evening.

Where are you going?

💜🍗 Well, Ravens fans… at least SOME wings are worth getting excited about this week! 😳😂

After yesterday’s performance, we figured Baltimore fans could use a little something sweet to take the sting out of that loss.

I mean, seriously… 13–0 at halftime, and somehow we ended up watching THAT?!

We’re not sure what happened in the locker room, but somebody needs to check if the Ravens accidentally sent the cheerleaders out to play the second half. 🤦‍♀️

Anyway, we decided to keep things PURPLE today in honor of our beloved Baltimore Ravens!

🫐🔥 Sweet Blackberry Sriracha Wings!

Sweet, sticky blackberry goodness with a spicy Sriracha kick!

And unlike yesterday’s Ravens, these wings actually bring the heat AND finish strong! 😂

It’s Dollar Wing Monday at the View at Skipjack Cove!
🍗 Just $1 per wing!
🍗 Minimum order of 6/Dine In Only
🍗 All your favorite sauces available!
Doors open at 4 PM!

Come drown your football sorrows in a basket of wings and a cold b**r.
Because the Ravens may have dropped the ball yesterday, but we’re damn sure not dropping the ball on dinner tonight!

💜🏈🖤 See you on the Sass!

🐾🎃 Barktoberfest was for the dogs… literally!

First of all, can we talk about how adorable our four-legged contestants were today?!

We had Wonder Woman, a hot dog, a little burlesque action, and even a couple of jockeys who apparently decided riding dogs was easier than riding horses! 😂

And of course, everyone gets a participation trophy because, well… we’re keeping up with the times! 🤣

🥈 Second Place: Our little pirate! I mean, come on… we’re at a marina! Ahoy, matey! 🏴‍☠️

🥇 First Place: Raining Cats and Dogs! Because seriously… HOW CREATIVE WAS THAT?! Absolutely hysterical!

The weather was beautiful, the costumes were priceless, and seeing so many people enjoying our little slice of waterfront heaven made our day.

We love sharing this space with you, your families, and of course, your four-legged babies … keep those tails a wagging! 🐾❤️

🧙‍♀️🧹 Apparently, even witches are tired of riding broomsticks.

Word has it that five local witches decided to trade in their brooms for paddleboards this Halloween season.

Something about rising broom insurance premiums, air traffic regulations, and one unfortunate incident involving a low-flying goose. 😂

Anyway, they were spotted out on the water having what appeared to be a rather heated discussion.

And because witches are notoriously loud after a few hundred years of not giving a damn, we managed to overhear some of it.

🧙‍♀️ Mildred: “I still don’t understand why we couldn’t just fly. My ass is freezing, my cape is wet, and I’ve got a splinter somewhere no woman should ever have a splinter.”

🧙‍♀️ Agnes: “Because, Mildred, we’re trying something NEW. It’s called paddleboarding. It’s supposed to be relaxing.”

🧙‍♀️ Gertrude: “RELAXING?! I’ve been clenching my butt cheeks so hard for the last twenty minutes I could crack a walnut!”

🧙‍♀️ Hazel: “Would you three shut up? We’re supposed to be deciding where we’re going for Halloween!”

🧙‍♀️ Agnes: “Well, I vote Worton Creek. It’s charming, a little more sophisticated, and I hear they’ve got a lovely Sipping Garden.”

🧙‍♀️ Mildred: “Sophisticated? Agnes, you turned your third husband into a toad because he forgot your anniversary.”

🧙‍♀️ Agnes: “And he was a much better listener afterward.”

🧙‍♀️ Gertrude: “I vote Skipjack Cove! I hear there’s a little more Sass over on the river.”

🧙‍♀️ Hazel: “Gertrude, YOU do not need any more Sass. Last Halloween you got thrown out of a haunted house for scaring the employees.”

🧙‍♀️ Gertrude: “Well, excuse me for being good at my job!”

🧙‍♀️ Mildred: “Personally, I don’t care which one we go to, as long as somebody has a decent cocktail. I’ve been sober since 1692, and frankly, I’m over it.”

🧙‍♀️ Agnes: “Worton has fire pits!”

🧙‍♀️ Gertrude: “Skipjack does too. And they have live music!”

🧙‍♀️ Hazel: “Worton has live music too and a beautiful creek!”

🧙‍♀️ Mildred: “Skipjack has a whole damn river!”

And that’s when the fifth witch, who hadn’t said a word the entire trip, finally spoke.

🧙‍♀️ Ethel: “You idiots realize the same people own BOTH restaurants, right?”

Silence.

Not a paddle moved.

🧙‍♀️ Mildred: “Well, I’ll be a son of a witch.”

🧙‍♀️ Ethel: “We can go to BOTH Halloween parties. One on the creek, one on the Sass. Everybody wins.”

🧙‍♀️ Gertrude: “FINALLY! A woman with a brain!”

🧙‍♀️ Agnes: “Then why have we been floating around out here arguing for an hour?!”

🧙‍♀️ Ethel: “Because none of you knows how to steer a damn paddleboard.”

And off they went.

Five witches.
Five paddleboards.
Not a single ounce of common sense between them.

🎃 ONE WEEK UNTIL HALLOWEEN!

Whether you’re a little more charming on the Creek or prefer a whole lotta Sass on the River, we’ve got Halloween festivities brewing at BOTH locations!

So tell us…

Are you a Creek Witch or a Sass Witch? 🧙‍♀️

And somebody PLEASE go check on Gertrude.

Last we heard, she was headed toward the Chesapeake Bay screaming, “I THINK I’VE FOUND THE OCEAN!”

That woman couldn’t navigate her way out of a birdbath. 🤣🧹
