"There's Something About Mary." From the time we called to see if we needed a reservation, we knew…read morewe were going to have a great experience. She told us they did not take reservations, but she would figure out something. When we arrived, our table was ready on the outside porch. The bar staff gave excellent recommendations for bourbons and landed one of us on some great Penelope brands from Brown County, Indiana. At least three people got involved in assisting our choice. Nothing like a good consensus. Mary is pro. Knows how to read the room, people and circumstance. She made us feel like we had been friends for years. Great recommendations for food. I asked if I should have the Salmon or the Mac and Cheese. She recommended I get the Salmon. I asked if she recommended the salmon because she knew I had heart disease to which she responded, "In that case, you should probably have a salad." Hilarious! My kind of service. Several people on staff came and talked with us while we dined. Really felt welcome and will definitely dine here again on the next visit. Food, drinks and dessert were all top notch. Service even better. There are great choices on the menu, but definitely make sure you get the "Mary".

I love this place! We came here on a lazy snowy Saturday right as it opened, and we got a great…read moretable right by the window. It filled up fast, and there was a lively bar crowd, and also an engagement party celebration upstairs. All of the servers were so friendly, and happy to share their favorite dishes and beers, etc. We started with the wings, which were great, and then we had the house salad with salmon and the burger and fries. OK, I did not order the burger and fries, but my boyfriend did, and I ate half the fries on his plate, they were that good! Great, friendly, with generous pours for wine, and just a really friendly, great place with perfect food for a winter day. I wish I could find a place like this in Washington, DC.

The server was great very attentive and patient as we ask lots of questions about the menu. They have a new burger item every week so we all tried that it was a Smashburger with crab on top pretty good and very big. They had an option to upgrade the truffle fries which we did and the fries were great. Would definitely come back if I was ever in town again to try something new.

I love fried chicken sandwiches, and I love crabcakes, so the Chesapeake Sandwich jumped out the menu--a combo sandwich of both!... and $15? Sign me up. The chicken was super moist on the inside, crispy and well seasoned on the outside. The crabcake was almost all crabmeat as well, which was delicious! My wife got a chicken taco salad, which came in a tortilla bowl and was also very good (with very well cooked chicken on top). My only complaint: the fries were a bit under-done. They also do 5oz samples of beer on draft, which was very nice for when you don't want a whole drink.

Gregory Garlitz on Facebook:…read more My girlfriend ordered the inferno wings today on the hidden menu. These wings were no joke, I did the buffalo wild wings inferno challenge twice without milk, it took 3 cups of milk to get through 5 of the 8 and I tapped out. The thing is, they aren't JUST insanely hot, they are also INSANELY flavorful. Hotheads eat your heart out, order these and you will not be disappointed. These 100% need to be a challenge. 8 in 10 minutes, no milk? The wings at Buffalo wild wings look like they were taken from baby chicks in comparison to what I got. Contact me when they become a challenge, I will gladly make the 1 hour drive to try it out, even if I fail!

When you go in, it looks like a total dive but when you see the menu and you taste the food, you'll forget all about how the place looks. You walk in and you're confronted with the bar which Shih Tzu about maybe 6 to 7 people. Looks like an old saloon. You walk in a little bit more and the two bathrooms are right there right in front of you. And to the left is the dining area. There's ample seating for about 50 people and the seating is wide open. There's also outdoor seating on their deck as well. The food fair is American food. They have good things like the Reuben. They're sweet potato fries to die for and a whole sleeve of other things. You can't miss trying this place out if you're in the area.

It has to be the Christmas season that gave a great vibe, but more accurately, the staff was very…read morefriendly and positive in all they were doing. The hot roast beef sandwich is average. The gravy could be improved while the roast beef was okay. The mashed potatoes were nothing to write home about, so your average taters. I understand gravy could be difficult to make fresh, but some more seasoning could improve this dish. The hamburger steak was disappointing. Salt & pepper go a long way to improving this dish. The cheap bun could be greatly improved especially with the griddle. Butter the thing and toast it while you finish the hamburger steak. The prices are good, the food is average, the staff is great, and the atmosphere reminded me of some 40s or 50s movie. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and if ever in the area I'd consider this again.

Owner/Chef Dane stopped by our table at the end of meal and was so delightful to talk with. We had a terrible storm during the dinner service, apparently a tree went across the road nearby and knocked out their internet service preventing them from being able to check us out at the end of the evening.

Not sure what was happening with staffing. It took a while to get menus and even longer to get our order put in. The waiter did check in on us to apologize for the long wait but it took over an hour to get our food. We saw other people waiting forever too and next to us, they were frustrated waiting a long time just to get their bill to pay. Another party had a woman finally flag down a waiter telling them no one has even taken their order. Where was upper management? It's not necessarily the waiters fault. Are they over-seating for short staff? The kitchen isn't keeping up with the orders, want to comp something from the bar maybe? One hours for food to come out is really disappointing. The food was good but not amazing or unique. The drink was suppose to be a blood orange old fashioned but tasted horrible so, probably not going to return for any mixed drinks. Scenery was very pretty bd relaxing. Ambiance was nice but restaurant service was so disappointing.
