Everything tasted great for the most part. Service was great as well. The outdoor buffet cookout was $20 tickets were purchased on eventbrite. They also had holiday drink specials at $2.49 which was a good deal. They also sold smoked oysters at $1.00 each & the server and bartender was very helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed this event. We would like to go back and check out the other drinks on the menu as well as the food. Definitely bookmarked this spot for a return visit. There is a parking garage about three blocks away. We paid $12.00 for about three hours. Not bad at all.

The hostess was helpful and explained that you can get the tiki drinks from both the Pearl and Ponche menus at the tiki bar upstairs, so that is what we did. It was 6pm and still pretty quiet. My partner ordered the caipirinha and I got the Baja blast. We both agreed that they were solid but not amazing. He also ordered a pour from their decently long rum list, which he enjoyed. I would come back if in the neighborhood to try more of their drinks.

GameOn is a chain that has four locations: one in DC, Downtown Annapolis, Baltimore City (Fed…read moreHill), and Columbia. This location is pretty solid. It has a little outdoor area with some seating which is good since this location is small and doesn't have a ton of indoor seating beyond the bartop. The arcade game selection of these three locations is in my opinion the weakest of the four locations. But the options are decent and provides a few hours of fun. There's also only one bar in this location as some of the others like Columbia and DC have two bars. However this location does offer a private karaoke option which is great since a private karaoke room is uncommon in that area. Which makes this location stand out. And with the other locations the drink menu is incredible though each location varies slightly. Like the shot o'clock wheel at Annapolis allows you to spin the wheel instead of the bartender spins it.

Usually I'll wait for a second visit but I know we won't be back. As soon as we walked in and saw super intoxicated mom with three kids running around, I should have known it wasn't a place for us. The bartender spoke with us when she finished on her phone then I ordered a drink and we got tokens. I started at a pinball machine and was immediately approached by a woman that said they had a pinball league. She wasn't inviting us, she was telling us to move because we were on the marching they needed to use. Not sure how this is allowed since it pushed us out quickly. After that we played Guitar Hero, I finished my one drink and we were done. Besides, the "league" proceeded to use a bullhorn during their play time. I was so done. We went to pay the tab and again waited for the bartender who was in the middle of a sandwich. Overall, no. After $4 parking, $10 tokens, and one $19.44 drink, we went someplace else to have birthday fun. I'm so bummed because I had high hopes for this place.

I would love to return for some of their locally-brewed beer and IPAs as well. Pictured with my review, you'll see my margarita from where I sat at the bar, and happy hour meal, the boneless chicken wings and fries. This place was the perfect place for an office farewell!

We had a really good experience at Dry 85 in Annapolis!…read more We tried the Dry 85 Burger and the fried chicken sandwich, and both were delicious. The burger was flavorful and satisfying, and the fried chicken sandwich was also a great choice. The fries were definitely a standout for me. They were thick cut and topped with Parmesan cheese, which made them way better than your typical side of fries. I also loved learning the story behind the name. Dry 85 refers to the 85 days that Washington, D.C. remained dry after Prohibition was repealed in 1933. Overall, great food, a fun story behind the restaurant, and definitely a spot I would come back to!

Definitely worth a try if you're a kombucha lover For appetizers we tried the crispy kale, preserve pickles, and pickled green tomato salad. The kale was the favorite, hands down. It was so perfectly crispy with the most delicious cumin yogurt dollops. I could have eaten 3 more bowls of this! You have to try it The pickles and tomato salad were about equally good. Pickles were fresh and crunchy. Not too sour. Salad was also fresh and paired well with the goat cheese crumbles. For mains I can only speak to what I ordered which was the brunch burger. It was delicious! Ingredients were high quality, egg was perfectly runny, and overall everything about this burger was very well balanced. My friends also enjoyed their entrees and there were no complaints!

Full On Craft Eats. The Toast online ordering system was easy to navigate and adorned with pictures of every menu item. I could not get past the onion rings on the starter menu hoping they would taste as good as they looked. My friend offered to split the Slammin Salmon sandwich and onion rings since she has had it before and never finished the entire thing. I took her up on it and the order was placed. A quick ask for mom to grab it on the way home and the food made its way back quickly. WOW is all I can say. When you order food to go there is a level of expectation that it will not be as good as it is at the restaurant, especially fries and onion rings. But in this instance WOW. Talk about food that travels well. Fourteen minutes away and the food was still warm, the onion rings were so crisp, and the garlic and dill aioli and onion ring sauce were just right. The Slammin Salmon was served on ciabatta bread that was not too soft not too hard, with salmon cooked perfectly. The lemon dill aioli was a game changer so much that my friend's advice to order extra was well received and committed to memory. The onion rings lived up to the hype, cooked perfectly with a crust I cannot even explain. The kind you bite into without losing the entire onion from the breading. Dip it into the sauce and you have a match made in heaven. Half the sandwich was more than enough but the next day I would have loved some leftovers. Now for the extra razzle dazzle. I left to visit a friend in DC and sent him the menu, shared my experience and he was locked in to try. Online ordering was closed since they were closing at 10pm so I called as a last-ditch effort since the anticipation was already there. The nicest most warm individual answered ten minutes before closing and was more than happy to take my order. She even made sandwich recommendations. I quickly arrived at a shopping center that was easy to get in and out of. Walking in you immediately arrive at the counter and takeout area to your left with a nice bar area a short walk past on the right. The cooks and wait staff were having the best time using the 6/7 saying that was all over social media late last year. They were considerate when they noticed I was in the restaurant, but I assured them I loved their energy. I see why the food is so good because the energy shows it was made with great vibes and laughter all around. As I grabbed the bag to leave the hostess stopped me to add another fork and extra napkins since I would need them to add the pickled veggies on my sandwich. Such a nice touch. Thirty plus minutes to DC and the food still did not need to be reheated. The Mai Thai sandwich was a hit with flavors that married well and the onion rings delivered again. The Spicy Thai wings were good for wings but typical. They had a lot to compete with. Full On Craft Eats Annapolis, not to be confused with Rockville, is an experience you will want to repeat again and again. Good food fast that travels well (yes that is a thing). A great addition to any table worth gathering at. I did it twice in one day!!

This is a great Caribbean venue if you're looking to connect with your roots. The back patio is perfect as an after glow. Beautiful landscaping and decor. The Rumhouse was a real vibe.
