Join the Opening Team at Pop's

Build something from the very beginning.

Pop's is a brand-new waterfront seafood shack opening at Georgetown Yacht Haven on the Sassafras River.

We're creating more than a restaurant—we're creating a place people return to all season long. Fresh Chesapeake seafood, oysters, smoked favorites cooked over live fire, cold drinks, outdoor gathering spaces, and genuine hospitality.

Our team won't spend the day inside a traditional restaurant. You'll work in an outdoor, fast-paced environment where guests order from the food truck and waterfront bar, gather around picnic tables, watch food being cooked over open flames, and enjoy being on the water.

If you enjoy being outside, staying busy, working with great people, and helping build something special from day one, we'd love to meet you.

What to Expect

We're planning to open in late August, pending final approvals.

We'll continue with weekend service throughout September and October, with plans for seasonal events, oyster roasts, holiday gatherings, and waterfront festivals as the year continues.

This is an opportunity to join our opening team and help shape the future of Pop's as we continue to grow.
