    Had breakfast one morning at this small popular eatery while in town with friends. Walk up counter service, with menus on the board, along with paper menus. Place your order, pay and get a number then grab a seat. Breakfast on the waterfront is whats here, with a few seats inside. Some benches are outside as well down by the waters edge and marina. It was a nice sunny morning on our visit so we grabbed a bench outside and waited for our number. Biscuits and gravy with two eggs over medium, the biscuits were good and the gravy better than average and its pretty hard to mess up a couple eggs. All in all a decent enough breakfast. The location makes this place what it is, a waterfront breakfast joint. Small interior, busy and not much of a place to sit and enjoy other than outside. The line moves pretty quick. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the locale 01108

    This is a cute small eatery bustling with patrons. There was a small wait to order our food. The staff were friendly and allowed to customize my breakfast sandwich. We ordered two classic egg sandwich with meat. I liked that they offered turkey bacon as I do not eat pork. My sandwich was on an egg muffin. It was delicious but I wished that the turkey bacon was crispier. My wife had bacon and she chose an everything bagel as her choice of bread. She enjoyed the breakfast sandwich but mentioned that the bagel should have been toasted. We also had hash browns which were so good! It was a pleasant breakfast experience and we will try bread and butter again soon.

    Brunch burger

    My girlfriend and I were looking for a nice spot for brunch while on an overnight trip to Annapolis, and Google led us here. Location is amazing. Gorgeous views of the water and boats in the marina. Outdoor tables right next to the boats. We even got to see a giant boat being moved that went right past our table. Ordered our food inside at the counter, and they brought it out to us. Surprisingly little to no seafood on the menu given its proximity to the water. My girlfriend got the Hippy Hash Skillet with marble rye toast, and I got the brunch burger with house chips. She loved her rye toast but said everything else was just ok, and I loved the chips, but I was very underwhelmed by the burger. I asked for it medium but there wasn't a trace of pink on the inside. In addition, while writing this review I looked over their menu again and realized my burger was supposed to come with roasted garlic aioli and maple bourbon bacon jam, but came with neither. This would have been an easy fix at the time but I just didn't remember these two ingredients were supposed to be part of it. So all I got was a dry burger with a hash brown and a fried egg with the yolk cooked through. Not a bad place to eat but as there are so many options in the area, not sure if we would return on our next trip to Annapolis.

    A little burnt

    Came here for the first time for Sunday brunch. Very crowded, but that's expected (and a good sign!). There was live music outside by the water. You order at the counter and then find a seat. There was a relatively long wait for food. The food was good - pancakes were yummy and the hippy hash skillet was decent too. My only complaint is the skillet was rather burnt. It would've been great if the skillet wasn't burnt. Would come back though!

    View of the marina. Tables are available outside, but it was rainy today!

    We tried this place because it had so many great reviews. We weren't disappointed by the food...it was delicious, but the ambiance was a bit funky! I had the BBK Sandwich and it was delicious. My husband had the Hippy Hash and loved it too. The restaurant is right at the marina, so it's fun to see the boats. The place was packed when we went there and only the sofa with TV trays were available. Unusual, but whatever!

    Philly Cheesesteak

    This is a casual diner serving all-day lunch and breakfast. Came here on a Friday around 12:30. Service was fast and friendly. There were a few tables available outside and inside. I got the oyster mushroom po-boy and my partner got the Philly cheesesteak. I'd give them 8/10. Pretty good. I liked how there were lots of vegetarian/vegan options. I'd come back!

    Southern Chicken Biscuit
    Austin G.

    In the charming neighborhood of Eastport along the water is an equally charming cafe that serves breakfast all day. The menu is big with lots of comfort foods like pancakes, but I ordered the Southern Chicken Biscuit and I wasn't mad about it. On a busy Sunday around 11:30am, it took ten minutes for the food to come, but when it did, I was happy. A fried chicken breast comes on a warm biscuit with bacon, cheese, fried egg, and sriracha honey. Don't worry. It's not spicy. In fact, I wanted an extra side of the hot honey. The sandwich was very good and filling! The space itself is small, but next door is another room with more tables, restrooms, water, etc. There are a few tables outside along the water too.

    Really cute little dockside eatery in a cozy space with outdoor seating. I was in Annapolis just for fun and wanted to try a local spot for lunch. It was hard to tell online if there was indoor seating--there is a bar with stools and a couple tables. You order at the counter and your food is brought out to you. The menu was interesting, there were vegetarian/vegan options and all day breakfast. I got the black bean with butternut squash grain bowl. It was a bit underwhelming. I didn't like that the quinoa was served cold, then topped with some hot ingredients. It didn't taste very good with cold quinoa. If it had been warmed up it would have tasted a lot better. Nothing was really seasoned and the dish relied heavily on the dressing for flavor. I kept looking over at the guy next to me who ordered the chicken biscuit sandwich (which looked amazing), yearning for some flavor. I doused the whole thing in Cholula I found on the table in desperation. I did enjoy the molasses cookie I got. It was nice eating by the window at the bar seating. There's little planters hanging which really adds to the vibe. Cute spot, nice little lunch place.

    Mixed reviews for our table, but I would return for their lunch sandwiches. Skip breakfast items, especially the biscuit. One exemption was rhe buttermilk pancake, that was tasty. The ITEM to get was the toasted sandwich and the taste of chicken and avocado was perfection. Some fyi's would be that they give tou a cup for water to be filled by fountain type device outside. Drinks are limited to tea and everything else pretty much bottled. Service was efficiently speedy. Breakfast a 2 lunch food a 5 so meeting in the middle ish.

    Monster blueberry scone--so yummy!
    Elaine F.

    Annapolis has a number of vibrant local gathering spots, but Bread and Butter Kitchen is at the top of the list. They have added to the original space so they have multiple seating options: Counter stools, cozy tables, and even a couch. There is a conference room space that can be booked for meetings, and it is lovely--so nicely decorated and fully equipped. My senior women's group met there this morning for a coffee gathering. Today was a rainy morning, so the marina waterside tables were not in use. But we had such a nice, cozy gathering in "The Hub." The coffee bar has multiple coffee offerings, and a number of flavoring syrups. And the scones are to die for! I had a blueberry scone that was pure heaven. The owner goes out of her way to greet guests, and the whole staff is consistently friendly. No wonder the line is often out the door. On weekends, they often have musicians playing outside. It is a community-centered, warm, and inclusive establishment with a very positive vibe. They also do catering. I visited another establishment up in Crownsville that had food items from B&BK.

    I really enjoyed our visit here! We came for the 4th of July for lunch. It was very busy but they kept the line moving quickly. Food only took 15 minutes to come out! Seating is limited but we were able to grab some at seating by the window. The chicken biscuit here was by far the best part of the meal! It's a honey sriracha and was perfectly seasoned/garnished. The kale salad was light and refreshing (I added some pepper to give it some more spice). It's a casual family friendly spot, and had lots of plants and large windows to keep it airy! Would recommend if you're in Eastport

    Came by while at the naval academy, parking seems to be super congested (but we got super lucky with a spot right out front). This place is super cute and the food was tasty, the fries were a miss, both the portion and flavor...the view of the water was nice. It did rain a bit but we stayed outside and it cleared up. Food came out pretty quickly and the service was great

    Vegan Banh Mi, Cheese Curds, etc
    Jen J.

    I have admittedly struggled to locate vegetarian meals in Annapolis (honestly, across the DMV) that are not lifeless salads given the understandable obsession with all things seafood. Bread and Butter kitchen was a fantastic find to address my meatless needs. There were so many options for meat avoiders and meat lovers, with unique finds like the Banh Mi made with oyster mushrooms - it rocked and kinda stayed on water theme (oyster?! Even if the mushroom variety??) Right next to the water, you can also eat your meal in a picturesque setting, perfect for the 'gram (or the yelp). Highly recommend and will be back!

    We really enjoyed our lunch today at Chick and Ruth's Delly. I ordered the cheesesteak, and it was…read morereally good. The homemade roll was particularly good. One thing, I'd prefer a little less onions and more meat. My boyfriend got the hot pastrami and inhaled it- five stars for that. We also both got a fancy milkshake, but because it was to go, it was deconstructed so the baked goods wouldn't fall off. I had the black and white cookie milkshake. To be honest the shakes are nothing special though they are good! but that cookie was unreal. It was massive, soft, and just perfect. Same comment for the strawberry milkshake- the shake was fine but the donut was amazing! It wasn't greasy at all and so satisfying. We'll definitely return, but would probably choose to get a sandwich and some baked goods next time (they all looked gorgeous!)

    One doesn't go to downtown Annapolis without visiting Chick & Ruth's for a bite to eat!…read more You've probably seen this place on Man vs. Food. But it's another to actually go in and grab lunch in there. The spirit of Annapolis is self contained in this compact little diner. Steps away from the USNA, Chick & Ruth's is a charming little spot that captures the classic diner feel with the soul of a local business that stands ten toes down for the local sports team just a few steps away. The crab cakes are great, the burgers are solid, and the deli Sammys aren't half bad either. If you're feeling bold, I recommend doing the Colossal Challenge. If you come during breakfast and it's before 8am on the weekday or before 9:30am before the weekends prepared to drop everything you're doing and join the friendly staff to say the pledge of allegiance! Chick & Ruth's is peak local business, it's a great spot for any Navy game (or visiting their loved ones attending USNA), and offers comfort diner food. This is one place in Annapolis everyone outta visit.

    I have a serious love for lobster meat. Today I wanted a lobster grilled cheese. The sandwich was…read moregood. I also purchased a shrimp Salad Sandwich. That was pretty disappointing. Lot's of mayo with very little celery. It was also lacking flavor. I wouldn't order that again. I was satisfied with the lobster grilled cheese on texas toast. Very good with the right amount of lobster. This was all ordered online and pre-paid. Parking could be a challenge. Luckily we came on a Sunday so it was less of a crowd. Found a spot to quickly pull behind just to pick up the food. Annapolis is a busy area. Especially on a Friday or Saturday. Just make sure if you order to go. That you pre-check your order. They were missing my chips but corrected the order immediately. So 3.5 for this visit and definitely would return for my lobster grilled cheese or the Connecticut Lobster Roll.

It was perfection and so delish. Served in a tasty lightly toasted and buttered bun. The hefty lobster serving comes with a dash of mayo. I'll be back again and again for Mason's lobster rolls. Love 'em!

So, when we saw this restaurant in Annapolis, we knew we had to give it a try. We were fortunate to find parking nearby, which is always a bonus in downtown Annapolis! When we walked into the restaurant, the gentleman at the counter greeted us promptly. We had not done any research about the layout prior, so we were surprised to see it was counter service, and not a sit down restaurant. However, that was fine. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming. My husband ordered The Loco moco and he said it was very good. The egg was prepared perfectly, and it was a decent portion. He probably could've eaten a larger portion, however :-) I ordered a poke bowl with tuna and crab salad. I topped it with sunflower seeds, edamame, and an avocado lime sauce. It was delicious! The flavors melted very well together and the portion was just right. However, next time I think I will get the larger size so I have some to take home! We will definitely be back again because the menu has a lot of different stuff on it that we would like to try. If you're looking for a different kind of restaurant with something unique for this area, you should definitely check it out. It was also very affordable.

So we walk in Sammy's and my husband and I are impressed by the pickles and hot sauce varieties. We didn't plan to order food, yet as a foodie I love specialty shops and always patronize them. This one was no different, although I regret doing so. At first the woman (who I imagine is the owner) seemed personable she asked all the customers to let her know if they needed help and she was smiling and all, but for whatever reason that changed after we got to the register to pay. She then became very condescending, rude and uptight. She asked a multitude of questions like for instance she asked what brings us to Annapolis. I told her we always visit and she says well you picked a busy day to come, like I made a poor choice in visiting or something, like we shouldn't be there. I thought to myself, um, did you not here me, I always come to the area, therefore I know it's busy, ALL THE TIME..it's been that way since forever in Annapolis. Then she just kept going on about our purchase saying we made good choices..like she literally said "oh you made good choices..you made good choices. Her tone sounded to me as if she was surprised that our pallet was sophisticated enough to get truffle chips and hot sauce and garlic dill pickles; like give me a break. She then asks my husband if he likes cheese. He says no but my wife does, she is the cheese expert. She didn't say another word, she did not crack a smile nor engage me in any way after he said that. As a store owner that would have been the perfect opportunity to sell me on cheese or whatever it was that you thought you needed to ask him that for. Finally even after all this, I asked her if she had a tip jar because I was going to tip my change (approximately $3.xx). She said no, I don't take tips, I just want you to go home and enjoy your purchase-as if she was too good or prideful to take MY money and wanted us to leave the store. I guess black families who love on each other and their children, who travel an hr away from home to visit downtown Annapolis are foreign to her and/or rub her the wrong way. And wouldn't you know as I am leaving I saw a tip bucket on the counter. Go figure. My husband and I discussed our visit and he informed me that while I was off doing another final lap of the store she had asked him if he was hungry and he said no...so maybe that's why she was mad-that we didn't get her food. He said she had a look as if to say then what are you doing here. Terrible. And I know from reading this it seems like she asked basic questions, but it is one of those you had to be there conversations; her tone, lack of eye contact and all made for a very uncomfortable experience. One thing is for certain, I will never patronize this store again and for anyone reading this and the other reviews, believe the ones that say these people are mean and rude because they certainly are.
