Rod 'N' Reel should understand when around the corner IS McDonald's, Domino's, traders, Ledos, and any other local restaurants.

The staff was very friendly both times we visited. Bathrooms were clean! What we ordered: Breakfast- Kielbasa Bowl with hash browns with cheese on top and eggs over medium. Lunch: 1/4 chicken with greens and Mac and Cheese. Chicken was flavorful, only downside was the chicken skin was a little difficult to chew. Greens were very delicious, so delicious that my son drank the pot liquor and I had to order 3 more sides of greens. Mac and cheese was decent, just added a little salt n pepper. I also enjoyed the potato skins and sweet tea. Tea was FRESH, nothing grinds my gears more than OLD ASS sweet tea! Tea was 10/10 delicious. Husband ordered the jerk wings and a brisket sandwich with cucumber salad, he enjoyed his meal as well. Underrated gem in Calvert Co- get there you won't be disappointed!

Located on Rt 214 less than a mile west of Rt 2…read more Very clean and a like-new place. Employees were well-groomed, polite and efficient. Got a pit beef sandwich, rare, with raw onions. Got horseradish on the side. Horseradish was very sharp as you'd expect. The price was $11 something but $13 something with a coke. Ate out on the picnic tables outside next to some woods. Shade provided by a big billboard. Plenty of tables provided outside. I don't remember any indoor seating. Sandwich was five stars. Tender pink beef and moist. Sliced very thin. Nice portion. I think the beef could have used a touch more salt. There is no condiment bar that I remember seeing. I would have added a touch of salt to the beef. I also would have added some mayo to the bun. Maybe if I had asked for it? Ambiance was good with the woods, but there was a generator going in the back of the place. Traffic noise from Rt 214 can be heard but not horrible. The Yelp reviews have this place at 4.5 stars which is about right, I think, compared to some of the places closer to Baltimore. So if you're in the neighborhood and you're in the mood for Pit Beef, you definitely will want to check out Bayside Bull.

Defiantly not the same style of friendly home style grocery and especially in the luncheon area that used to be Great! Purchased a tuna sandwich got back to work opened the sandwich so much tuna piled on the bread it was soggy and disgusting tossed it. Yesterday my sister and I purchase family size vegetable beef soup " we love it, usually but this time to much tomato stock no beef flavor, only a few pieces of beef and instead of peeled potoatoes like usual they were unpeeled cut in half different sized. Just not the good food we were used to. On another note...barely any item has prices from ice cream to bread/ rolls even milk no prices. Either purchase without the price it half to ask before buying at the cashier! So sad Miss the great market the grocery was as Bowens not as Bones. Infact now that I think about it the new name is all about bare Bones. The owners need to rethink and look into prices and food service area. Thanks.

I just wish they offered an option for two tacos with a side of fries to round out the meal a bit more. My wife ordered the pork sandwich with coleslaw and fries. My brother-in-law had a burger with fries and also ordered some chicken wings, and my sister-in-law went with a burger and coleslaw. Everything was very good, and it seemed like my in-laws really enjoyed it. I'm pretty sure they'll be back again.

This was literally the only place around. We were hungry. It's a hole in the wall little strip of shops on the service road. But you walk in and it's clean and bright and smells like fried chicken and BBq. A steady flow of people coming in. My only regret is not getting the cobbler. So what did we get? I got tenders and fries and both were fresh. Loved the wedge fries. Kiddo got pulled pork sandwich which he loved. Hubby got 3 piece fried chicken and wedges. Chicken was fresh out the fryer. Delicious. Also got a side of Mac and cheese. Cheesy goodness. I want more! Rest of the menu offerings were legit too. Good portion sizes and prices. So if you are randomly in the area...go here.

There was plenty of parking, lots of seating inside and a large pet friendly patio seating area outside. The drinks came out fast, and so did the sandwich, but we had to walk back up and get a pastry they forgot to bring the table. I ordered the Spicy Chorizo Avocado toast. It was good, but I wish I had known it came with an egg on top because I would have ordered over hard instead of the over easy that it came with. We also ordered a smoothie and cookie butter latte, both were just ok. Overall, it was a cute and clean place to visit for brunch.
