Yesterday, we stopped in, and my friend convinced me to try the center-cut pork chops with mushroom Marsala sauce. The pork chops were excellent, with a nice char from the grill, perfect cooking, and plenty of juices. However, the dish had no Marsala flavor at all, which was disappointing. If the menu had simply described it as a brown sauce, I would have loved it, but I was expecting a specific flavor that wasn't there. Even so, I was still very pleased with the meal. I also had the wedge salad, which is one of my favorites here, and I can never get enough of their blue cheese dressing. For my side, I chose the bacon potatoes au gratin. They were very rich but extremely flavorful. Overall, this place once again did not disappoint, and we will definitely be back.

Introduction to this place, Meetup group, & my health update:…read more I thought I finished my America 250 series when I finished with the states on Tuesday, 8/18 review, but I'm adding one more I just went to last Tuesday, 8/25. It's got American in the title; so I wanted to include this. I had heard about this place from Meetup groups and wanted to try this at some point. A Meetup group was meeting here, and I was like I should go because I wanted to try this place. This Meetup mostly does stuff in the Annapolis-Severna Park area but occasionally goes to western AA. The 3 Meetups I attended with this group in 2026 were all less than 10 miles from my home 2 in Arundel Mills area & 1 here. Further, I wanted to be social as times will be very difficult in the fall as I will be having to do High dose chemo with stem cell replacement. So, it's possible I have 0 Yelp reviews in October-November time period. My first Meetup of 2026 was on January 3, and then January 5 I found out about major surgery related to the metastatic cancer occurring with standard chemo in summer 2025. The other Meetup with them in 2026 was a Circus, which wasn't that good. If I could summarize 2026 in a word, I think Circus is a fair choice. Experience with restaurant: This place was a mixed bag. It's got a Texas Roadhouse kind of vibe. But in summary, I'd choice Texas Roadhouse any day over this although this had some good aspects. Service was a bit slow, but we were a large group, so it wasn't anything unreasonable. My issue was that they were disorganized. They were asking around who had this side salad or that side salad. They should've figured who was sitting where in a table to give the individual the correct item instead of asking 25 or so people in our party. I got the 12 oz Sirloin steak with comes with one premium & one regular side. For premium side, I was between one of the 2 salads and the chili. I read that the chili was kind of sweet plus I already was getting 12 oz Sirloin. I asked the difference between the Wedge & All-American salad. He said Wedge has bacon, blue cheese, etc., and All-American has cheese, tomato, & croutons. I did NOT want bacon and preferred standard cheddar over blue cheese. They were trying to get a couple of the salads out. They said House salad, which I assumed was the All-American salad. I said no, that has bacon on it. So, we finally figured out after several more minutes that it was that. Why did the server FAIL to mention bacon was on that?! I would've still gotten the All-American salad and said no bacon or possibly tried to switch out with a different ingredient. So, I was incredibly annoyed. I picked the bacon out with my fork setting off on the side of the plate. Very shortly after we figured out salad situation, my sirloin & sweet potato came out. So, I finished my salad. Then, I was starting on 2 bites of the sweet potato, which I will say was great. But I decided I better get to the steak before it got cold and then come back to the sweet potato afterward since that was hot and more insulated to stay hot. While the steak had a pretty good flavor, it was just semi-warm. It still should've been hot as it wasn't that long after I was still eating my salad where they failed to mention bacon on it. I sure as hell wasn't going to eat my steak before finishing my salad. It was maybe about 5 minutes after the steak arrived by the time I got to the steak; so it should've been hot. My one friend would've taken it back, but I don't want to waste time, disrupt my flow of eating, not to mention server never came around to ask how things were. So, I enjoyed the steak well enough for the flavor, but the lukewarm made it not as good. Texas Roadhouse, Outback, & LongHorn is far superior in terms of steak. But I wanted a steak since it's All-American STEAKhouse, not All-American Burgerhouse, Philly Cheesesteakhouse, Saladhouse, etc. Another thing that was bizarre & disorganized was that while in the middle of my steak & people's food in general, the dinner rolls came out. Normally, dinner rolls come out before the meal not in the middle of it. The dinner rolls were delicious; I had 2 of them with lots of butter. This was my favorite thing I ate here. But as great as the rolls were here, Texas Roadhouse is superior once again in terms of rolls. I'm not a big drinker, but I noticed on their daily special Tuesday $3 wine. That was so low, I decided I'll take advantage of that getting a Chardonnay. I had low expectations for $3, but it was surprisingly good. In summary, the great food items were rolls & sweet potato. Steak was kind of weak especially considering lukewarm. Salad was good, but they failed to mention bacon. I wouldn't necessarily go back, but if I ever I did, I'd try the Philly cheesesteak (now that I had their steak), which the guy across from me said he enjoyed and ideally it'd be a Tuesday $3 wine night.

I've gone a few times now and they've been consistent across the board. I've had the wings, fish and chips, and the mac & cheese, and everything has been on point every time. No misses. The food is flavorful, well prepared, and perfect for the laid-back but upscale vibe they have going. And I have to mention my go-to drink: the Espresso Martini. Easily one of the best in the area. Smooth, balanced, and dangerous in the best way. The atmosphere can get a little loud, so I wouldn't recommend for date nights, but if you want to hang with friends, or just grabbing a quality drink and good food, or watch sports, this is your place. If you're in Odenton and haven't been yet, you're missing out.

I've never been before, but the location was convenient for everybody to get to. There was an event for DeWalt tools going on this night, so the main bar was locked off for their event. We sat in a booth that overlooked the main area. It had a great vantage point to watch all of the big screen TVs. It seems like they only had one waitress working, which seemed to be well understaffed for the amount of people they had. I think there was another one, but she was exclusively in the private party area. First, I ordered a Stella and a sampler platter. The platter came with traditional wings, cheesesteak, eggrolls, seasoned crinkle, fries, and crab bites. All the food was pretty good. The wings were fried then tossed in the sauce so they were still relatively crispy. A good heat level for the original buffalo sauce that they used. The crab bites were pretty good. They had a lot of extra things in it that I'm not used to like peppers, but they were still enjoyable. The season fries were delicious. I don't know what kind of seasoning they put on them, but it was slightly sweet and savory at the same time. A cheesesteak egg rolls were very cheesy, but the meat inside was tender. There was a DJ there for Monday Night Football. Seems like a hard task because he had to entertain everyone on commercial breaks. The waitress was very friendly. She had just started so she didn't know about a lot of the menu items. The only issue came when I ordered a old-fashioned. They brought something out, but it did not look or it taste like an old-fashioned and it was in a tiny glass. Tasted like some type of fruit punch the poor waitress didn't know what to do and said that the bartender informed her that they measured everything out but they were missing some of the ingredients for a proper old-fashioned. Rather strange since all you need is three basic ingredients ‍. Whatever it was, she took it back. Everyone in our group that ordered a cocktail was very disappointed so I would not trust their bartender. For the rest of the evening I just stuck to beer. Overall food good viewing good drinks bad. I would definitely come back to watch a game.

Perry's Restaurant: The Search for a Great Crabcake…read more Takeaway: The food was outstanding, the service was great, and the website descriptions were so vague I felt like I was ordering mystery boxes. Mom had a craving for a crabcake, and when Mom gets a craving, the mission becomes official. We decided to order from Perry's Restaurant, a spot we both remembered having great food -- even if those memories were doing all the heavy lifting during this ordering process. I went to their website to place the order, and that's when the chaos began. The Website: The Guessing Game Begins I clicked on the Chef Salad.The description?"Chef Salad."That's it.No ingredients. No hints. No clues. Just vibes. Then I checked the Broiled Seafood Platter.Again -- nothing.No list of seafood. No details. No warnings. No "may contain fish you've never heard of." I was ordering blind, hoping I liked whatever showed up and praying I wasn't allergic to any of the mystery items. If we didn't already know Perry's food was outstanding, we would've abandoned the mission right there. But we pushed on. We ordered: Broiled Seafood Platter with coleslaw Two Crabcake Platters with French fries Chef Salad with Tuna Salad Pickup: The Alexa Experience I arrived at Perry's and met Alexa, who was friendly, engaging, and patient -- the exact opposite of the website. She answered all my questions, gave me suggestions for next time, and even grabbed extra tartar sauce (for a fee ). The food smelled so good that Mom and I peeked inside the containers in the car.Bad idea.We started eating the fries on the way home. They were very good -- the kind of fries that make you forget you're supposed to wait until you get home. The Food: The Redemption Once home, we opened everything up. Broiled Seafood Platter It contained: One crabcake Scallops Clams Shrimp One piece of unknown fish (still delicious) Everything was fresh, tasty, and cooked perfectly. Double Crabcakes Smaller than I remembered, but cooked beautifully and full of flavor. Chef Salad with Tuna Salad Good, with a generous amount of tuna.I could've used more tomatoes, but overall solid. Coleslaw Outstanding.The kind of coleslaw that makes you rethink your relationship with cabbage. Final Verdict Perry's Restaurant delivered: Outstanding food Outstanding service Outstanding staff Terrible website dish descriptions We'll definitely be returning -- and hopefully next time the online ordering system tells me what I'm actually ordering.
