    Crab and artichoke dip, arugula salad, brisket tacos.
    Hannah P.

    The Good: location, ambiance, staff, speed The Not So Good: The food. We got the crab and artichoke dip, the brisket tacos, the arugula salad, and a burger. The best items were the arugula salad (fresh and a good value), the fries (fresh), the burger bun, and the bread that comes with the crab cakes. The crab dip had good flavor but the portion felt v small for an appetizer and not a single piece of legit crab meat. In Maryland the crab dip has at least a couple real pieces of meat. The burger was...fine. They charge extra for cheese. The real tragedy was the brisket tacos. The brisket was DRY, overdone, and near flavorless. It almost seemed like it had been sliced and then reheated. The bourbon sauce was so sweet, like maple syrup. And the "coleslaw" was equal parts cabbage, raw onion, and green pepper. Weirdest coleslaw ever. So the tacos ended up tasting like maple syrup covered onions. I have literally never in my 39 years of life sent something back, but I sent those back. It was inedible. The waitress was super nice and sweet about it and took it off the bill, so there's that. We gave it 6.5/10. We might go back for the nice clean open space if one of our friends wanted to go there, but with soooo many restaurants around it's unlikely we would seek it out again.

    Love coming here! Probably frequent this establishment a few times a month! Had dinner with the family/cousins last night here and we had a great time! I had a soup and a salad. Can't go wrong with the French onion soup! Also indulged in an Aperol spritz, which was very yummy! We sat upstairs because we had a big crew and it was nice because we could still see the tvs at the bar and watch the playoffs.

    The food was amazing, the service was excellent and the outdoor ambiance was great. We were on a trip visiting our daughter.

    I have always walked by but never actually have gone in until I decided to have my early birthday dinner here. I was so taken back by how cute the inside is. The staff were really friendly and the food came out hot and fresh. I started off with their soup of the day and it was very filling and a nice size portion. As well as their roasted chicken entree for $16 which was so large i had it for two more meals. I highly recommend.

    I was looking a nice place to eat with two children after 9 pm on the first NFL game night of the season. I was a little tired and honestly typed in another restaurant, drove there, parked and saw this spot thinking it was said restaurant. We walked in, was pleasantly greeted, and were seated upstairs. The decor is fresh and airy. It fits the aesthetic of Annapolis's boating history but modern. The menu offered plenty of options but as I am a vegetarian and the children were...children, we ordered simple dishes. Kale salad (can't remember the full name), loaded potato (minus bacon), Mac and cheese, sweet potato casserole, and wings. Everything came out together and was hot. The salad was flavorful and I'm shocked at how good the Mac and cheese and casserole was. We really enjoyed our food. My 8 year old wanted to speak with boss and the waitress brought Jake over. He shook hands with my 8 year old and they spoke. It was really nice of him to do that! I think this will be one of our spots since I have to venture into Annapolis for the foreseeable future.

    Orange crush

    I don't know why this isn't rated higher. The vibe is modern and open with loads of natural light streaming through the windows. It's also exceptionally clean (and yes, I went to the bathroom, and it was very clean and light). We both got the orange crush, which was so delightful and refreshing on this warm day. We split the 2 crab cake entree and the brisket tacos, had 3 sides. This is the real deal, the GOLD STANDARD for jumbo lump crab cakes. They were lightly seasoned, not overly, so the crab flavor stands out, not the seasoning. And that's how it should be. The brisket tacos were excellent, full of delicious smoked brisket that had zero grizzle/fat and 100% flavor with a bourbon sauce that perfectly accented the meat and with slaw that also perfectly joined to make a mouthful of happiness. Now for the sides: Mac and cheese, cheese grits, and sweet potato casserole. All sooooo delicious! M&C: macaroni was bathed in cheese and very tasty but not one bit greasy, don't know how they did that. Grits: I know that grits are typically coarsely ground corn, but these grits were smooth, oh so cheesy, again without feeling like I just had a barrel of greasy butter, they were OMG great. SP casserole: creamy and light, topped with beautiful burnt brown sugar. We had the bartender wait on us and he was delightful, funny, knowledgeable and professional all at once. Looking forward to returning to Adams on Fourth for another great dining experience!

    We checked this place out because I overheard some people talking about it! When we walked in, almost no one was here, but it seems like we beat the lunch crowd because suddenly the entire place filled up. The service was great and the food was delicious! Everything came out promptly and obviously the decor and overall vibe is very nice! Will return

    Hard avocado and a bite taken out of my key lime pie?? We've been meaning to check this place out for a while, and despite the headline I'm glad we did. The vibe is cool (although loud AF), but we did get used to the noise. The food is good, as we expected as frequent Adams Eastport customers, but there were a few missteps. I ordered the shrimp tacos, and they were good, but the avocado was VERY HARD. The entire top of the taco is covered in a nice helping of AVO, and we all know when an avocado is NOT ready to eat. Nonetheless, they served it up on my shrimp taco dish. I tried to cut it with my knife and spread over the tacos, but it really didn't help. After a few really good drinks, thanks to a great bartender, we decided to take a couple of desserts home. My key lime pie looked as if a small human had taken a bite out of it. I'm sure that's not the case (I hope), but why send a dessert home that looks as if there's an actual bite taken out of it. Overall, a decent experience, but I won't forget the rock hard avo, and the "bite" taken out of the key lime pie. These aren't difficult things to mange. I'm not spending $200 on a dinner for this level of half-way hospitality. The pie was excellent the

    Ok ya'll their food was soooo good! I could eat a meal of just the sides alone! And probably will order that to go for lunch one day since it's right around the corner from my office. Quick service and looks super cool inside I was in lunch break so we are going back when I can try some cocktails. Highly recommend

    Average meal in Annapolis. Nothing of a wow factor. Service and ambience were good, attentive. Drinks and beer selection were typical bar menu nothing special. Server mentioned some items were same as other Adams restaurants but others were new. I had fish tacos with rockfish. Very messy, fish was luke warm, too much dressing. Others had pork sandwich and brisket sandwich which I was told were good flavorful sandwiches. Fries were cold and unsalted. Did not taste as hand cut in kitchen. May come back but there are other options. Inside is restaurant is very nice.

I've never had a long wait, either to order or for the food to come out, which is always appreciated. The staff has been consistently friendly, and the space itself is clean and well kept. High-top tables, good lighting, moderate noise level--everything feels in order whenever I'm there. Food-wise, Regional keeps things simple, and that's what I like about it. The Cubano sticks to the script and does it right. You really can't lose with it--good flavor, balanced, and just a solid sandwich overall. The smashburger is another no-frills win. Fresh beef, fresh ingredients, and everything complements each other without trying too hard. It's just done right. The cheesesteak isn't something I'd call a true Philly, but in a pinch it definitely holds you down. The meat is seasoned well, with onions, mushrooms, and cheese coming together for an enjoyable sandwich. I appreciate that Regional doesn't overcomplicate things. My only real critique was the roasted potato salad. I paid $3 for a cup, and while it tasted good, there was lettuce stuffed at the bottom to make it look fuller than it was. That rubbed me the wrong way, so I wouldn't order it again. Portion sizes overall are fair, prices feel reasonable, and I like that there's something for everyone on the menu. I've already been back multiple times and will continue to return. It's a good spot when you want to get away from all the fast-food options in the area.

But they had been talking about Adam's Ribs for a long time so it was nice to find out that their recommendation was absolutely true. Adam's Ribs is not fancy. You can understand absolutely every word that is on the menu. There is no arrogant snot-nosed hostess looking down her plastic surgery improved nose at you when you show up to eat without reservations. But here is what Adam's Ribs does have - absolutely real, home cooked food that is delicious, servings that are big enough to make you feel sick if you eat the whole thing and great service with a smile from a waiter who has clearly tried everything on the menu. Bottom line? I love this place and would go back there tonight if it was not 1 hour away from me. We started out with the full loaf of onion straws. OMG wonderful! The onions were so sweet, the breading was perfectly crispy and not oily at all. For an onion lover, there is nothing better than this appetizer. It is served with a Daniel Boone-sized knife to cut and, believe me, you will need it! This appetizer makes a full meal if you are alone. My main course was the 8 ounce sirloin, medium rare. I am telling you that my steak was fork tender and really flavorful. Perfectly done! I was so full that I could only eat half of the mashed potatoes & gravy (which are definitely worth the calories) and none of the spinach (which was so garlicky that many vampires died during its preparation). Perfect meal! The other main courses were the chicken breast, the full rack of baby back ribs and something called "if pigs could fly" platter - basically baby back ribs next to a mess of beautiful chicken wings. I love that! Everyone was so happy with the meal that we were waving the white flag. No need for dessert because we were all so damn full. The server was Charlie. He is an asset to Adam's Ribs. Friendly, very knowledgeable about the menu and the ingredients and how everything is cooked. He worked his butt off to deliver great service fast and that he did, in spades. This guy truly must love what he is doing because he is so good at his job. Bravo to Charlie! Okay, so I am reviewing the place and I have to find something negative so say. The dining room is dated, a bit sparse and there is a smell that I don't like. Mostly, I think the smell is just old restaurant. But you get used to it and, once you do, you realize that Adam's Ribs is one of the few restaurants left that serves good quality, home cooked meals with regular old fashioned American ingredients! No pretense, no airs, just great solid food that fills you up every time! I would never let some little bitty old smell get in my way for one of the great meals that I will enjoy there in the future. I recommend that you go to Adam's Ribs and you better take all your friends. You will be VERY glad you did!
