    We were driving from NC back to Maryland, and it was almost lunchtime. We got off the highway after seeing a sign for a chicken fast food restaurant, but it said 4 miles away. We drove and drove but never found it. So we pulled into a little strip mall shopping center where there was a pizza place, an oyster bar, and Brian's Cheesesteaks. We decided to check out Brian's. The place is clearly a favorite with the locals. All the tables were full. There was no hostess, so you seat yourself. We headed for the counter and claimed two stools. They have quite a menu and it is a retro diner-style place. The server was really pleasant. We asked for two unsweet teas (clearly revealing ourselves as non-locals). The tea came out sweet anyway, but that was the only hiccup. I ordered a fried chicken sandwich with onion rings, and my friend did order a full cheesesteak (you can also order a half). Everything was delicious. The serving of onion rings was huge. The price for my huge chicken sandwich was only $6.50. They offered us free ice cream at the end, but we were too stuffed. So, the moral of the story is that it is WELL worth a short side trip to get off the interstate to eat at a local place that is NOT a fast food franchise.

    Trivia F.

    I'm going to start this with the good. My friend and myself went to Brian's because she knows my picks are 8 out 10 good eats. This experience was one of the worse, from the food to the overall experience. The Latin gentleman I didn't get his name was friendly and a delight to watch make several Phillies without breaking a sweat. He is the reason I gave them a star. It was the early dinner rush hour. As we sat at the counter waiting an hr for four hot dogs onion rings and things. I noticed the hot dogs sitting in the back of the heat lamp for the fries. As the orders begin to be made the manager in the yellow hat drops fresh hot dogs. I noticed that when he called out my order for my hotdogs he grabs the hot dogs that had been sitting up there prior to us arriving and we waited an hr for food. So yeah by the time he grabbed the hotdogs I head to the front counter. BTW I never get condiments so I knew it was my order. I told the lady I'd like to get a refund for my order. I was being nice and not stating the reason. She then told me I couldn't get a refund just because. So I informed her of what I saw and how I didn't want the cold hotdogs coming my way. She got loud and told me he would never do anything like that. And I wasn't getting a refund. Despite what I had just watched. So I opened the bag to show her and my guest the cold hotdogs I knew were going to be in the bag. I took them to her told her to feel them l. She realized she was wrong and I had been honest with my story. I never wanted to make a scene just didn't want cold hotdogs. I picked this place for the ratings not the attitude I was given today. So I'd highly advise placing an order and picking it up if you are still wanting to try this spot. I'm so glad my friends and their grandparents came to see a glimpse of why it's hard for me to go out and get a decent meal in some places. I never wanted to make a scene didn't even want a remake. I just wanted a refund because I waited an hr for two hotdogs. There was no way I was going to eat cold hotdogs. I can admit when I'm wrong I just wanted fresh food from a place that looked like a good spot. I'm ok with finding another restaurant when I come visit my nephew at college. This one isn't it I don't fit in and the service I received it spoke volumes to it. Again I picked this place because of the ratings I wanted to eat here. Just order your food over the phone to justify it being cold at pick up. I'm sure it's a decent spot I'll never know. All it takes is one time for me and I'll find somewhere else to eat. Customers are people and with an open kitchen you never know who's watching. So just make it easy and make everyone's food the way you'd want yours. With a bit of tlc.

    Double Cheeseburger

    I've been here numerous times for the best cheesesteak but today I wanted a cheeseburger. I got a double all the way and a Brian's dog. GAHT! It was good. Now I'm not gonna sit here and say it's the best cheeseburger I've ever had or the juiciest or most flavorful but it was pretty dang good. Again impressed with the staff and the food!

Our server was quite nice and was able to answer our menu questions. Our meal began with the soup of the day, Chicken Tortilla Soup. It was quite tasty, full of veggies that you would find in a pico de gallo nestled in a rich tomato broth, topped with crispy tortilla strips and served in a very small 8oz cup. What was missing was the chicken... I think I encountered one very small cube of chicken in one of those bites. My husband had the bowl size and echoed the same sentiment. For entre, I ordered the Blue Cheese and Apple Salad and made it a meal with the delicately fried oysters. The portions were great for a meal, but I expected more diversity in the salad greens. I received a mound of spinach that would make Popeye extremely happy. I would have loved some crispy romaine to vary the density of the spinach. However, the house dressing and candied walnuts added a great touch. My husband ordered the Cajun Chicken Pasta which I sampled. I loved the sausage and the complexity of flavors for this dish. My son had the crab cakes which were also greatly portioned. He said that the cakes were very good, but for the premium prices he'd expected more crab and less filler. Nevertheless, he still cleaned his plate. Overall, we had a pleasant evening, but for what you pay for a meal, I expected a little bit more.

It is not fancy, but once you try something it is different. This is American Cooking but with a style that is special. See what awaits. When we went in I had worked up at the Rocky Point Markets for furniture both in the spring and the fall of each year. It was always filled with folks from everywhere to shop, and see and buy for the next season. There were plenty of places to have lunch. But when dinner came it was special. The local style of cooking was different. It might have the same meal as you would find in another region, but here it was different as it is based on the cook / chef. Tonight we stopped in and the person helping us was very special. She told us of what was available and what was not. She gave the details and let us order. First we had to have an Arnold Palmer. Naturally, it was different than the person down the block. This was not sweet as usually. It was an equal mike and perfect to have. It gave us something to think about. First up was the Mac & Cheese. But unlike normal Mac & Cheese, with this we ordered shrimp. Not what you expect, this was unique. The Mac & Cheese was a combination of fresh pasta and mixed with four different types of cheese. It was mixed together with a cream and butter. It was not a firm mix but a mix that was moist and tasty with each bit you took. That alone was a meal unto itself. Being mixed with shrimp was different. The shrimp where not small. They were a good size. And there was almost a dozen mixed in. They were not placed onto. Being mixed in they aded to the flavor and taste. There was no spices. Just fresh shrimp with pasta and a cheese mix. A dip of bread helped to take it all in. Next we did have Baby Back Ribs. These were very fresh and tasty. Cooked to the right point hthey literally fell off the bone itself with the touch of a fork. The taste was slightly mixed with honey. Sweet but spicy. Naturally had to have some home made coleslaw with this. Plus an order of sweet potato fries. And these were fresh. Alone with a drink these would have been a good snack to have together. I could have had another plate of these alone. The two dishes were perfect. Yet, we did need to have dessert when the couple at the next table ordered it and shared it. This was Bread Pudding, topped with vanilla ice cream and served with Bourbon sauce. This was heaven itself. You did not need more. There people could have shared this one item. Again, it was freshly made and warm. Ideal. The ice cream was made that morning. And, as for the bourbon, you could have had a glass of this. Spread over the bread pudding it was how we sometime drink an Irish Coffee. Had to have that taste with each bite. Overall, this was a special place to for a meal. It was truly unique for the region and for the chef. The team was a great help. The price was great. As for the people who were there, it was packed. Many came from the places where they are creating the new furniture and items that will be on display for the next market in Rocky Point for next spring. They knew where the place is and what to order. It is truly the right spot for a good meal. It is worth the visit next time I am in town.
