The food was alright- service wasn't. Barkerp hung out with her friends/regulars- had to go to the bar and flag her down when she forgot to draw teo draft beers. Also took forever to pay our bill as she was talking to a male customer. Pretty sure kid sitting in the corner playing on his phone was a minor. This is definitely a local dive bar so if your not a local/regular don't expect much.

World's BEST french fries!

I lived across the street for a year, and this became one of my go-to bars. The bartenders here were absolutely amazing and always super personable... they made you feel like a regular even after a very short time! Even though the beer selection wasn't huge, it was usually pretty diverse so you could find something for all preferences. I love the food here, and as a total french fry connoisseur, I must say they have my favorite fries encountered to date! They are these wide but thin cut fries (kind of like a steak fry cut super thin) but have the perfect amount of soft potato to crunchy skin ratio. I have come here just for a beer and a basket of fries! Their happy hour menu is also fantastic. You can get some great food for really cheap! We would frequently come here during our work lunch hour (we worked evenings) for good food and free darts! They have plenty of TV's for sports games. It's a small space so when they're really crowded, it can be hard to find a spot and it can slow down service. Still, this was one of my favorite spots to go during my time in Maryland!

Interesting neighborhood. Kind of looks like a converted basement into a bar. Parking lot is very small so you may have to park in the neighborhood. Small selection of alcoholic beverages and a limited amount of space. I took a seat at the bar. A few televisions around the bar to watch sporting events. I went on a Thursday so the football game was on. I ordered some of the old bay wings with a beer ti was it down. Food was good and the service was great as well. Would definitely come back again. Prices are reasonable and affordable.

Buck Murphy's is legit. We came last weekend on a whim and ended up having a great time. The food was good and the drinks were strong. It's one of those places that you wouldn't expect to be what it is walking in. We went on karaoke night, and the crowd was very mixed, but everyone got along and interacted with each other. I walked through the door and immediately got dapped up by the gentleman who was easily pushing 80. It's weird/quirky stuff like this that I enjoy. I hate a stiff divided room, where nobody speaks. I came back on my bday and got drinks with my wife. It was Wednesday so it wasn't as crowded, but it was still a good time. I can easily see this becoming a go-to spot to chill and catch a game or just hang out...

Our new neighborhood bar with big TVs!! Quaint and warm! Great chili with chunks of tender brisket, delicious wings, crisp salad with pulled chicken breast, and wonderful drinks by Sophie! Next time will be soon! Eat in or outside.

Boom  shrimp were amazing! The sauce and freshness of the shrimp was outstanding!

This place is a true gem. Not what you would expect from a basement bar. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Drinks strong and food was really good. We have been twice and each time did not disappoint! Different crowds depending on the day you are there, good amount of TV playing sports and movies...will probably be our new go-to spot!

Had a great time at Buck Murphy's We sat at the bar had great service They have several local beer selections and the food was good we ordered the old bay wings which were incredible seasoned just right with a hint of smokey flavor the burger was juicy and flavorful There pizza was cooked perfect and tasty Customers are friendly place is clean and plenty of TVs to watch Cant wait to go back even though the bartenders were busy are glasses were always full and are food came out quick and hot

A great find. A small town bar and grill environment with good drink selection and high quality menu. My friend "cannot put into words" how good the chili was. The fries (pictured below) set a new standard for the style and flavor of french fries. Overall, the plain and low key Buck Murphy's was a good experience and, if in the neighborhood, we'd happily go back.

Such a cool little bar! Small, but the bartender and food was absolutely amazing. I'm obsessed with their fries.

The decor is now modern, warm and comfortable, kinda sorta like a basement dwelling speakeasy!

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.

Speakeasy vibes!…read more Located below Perry's, this place is a true hidden gem. I heard about it from a friend a few months ago and bookmarked it right away. Glad I visited for myself. It's a laid back atmosphere - casual, but if you want to get cute that's fine too. There's a limited food menu. I didn't get any food this time. I really enjoyed the tiramisu espresso martini - I would get it again. There's a good selection of cocktails, beer and wine. There was live music but it wasn't super loud where a conversation was difficult. The employees were very nice and attentive.

My friend tried the trio with the cheesy crab dip with pretzels she said it was delicious. Her trio came with wings, sliders, and pretzels with cheese. I got the trio that included wings (sweet bbq), new chicken southwest rolls, and mozzarella sticks. All great choices. I got a side of chicken tenders with honey mustard which were phenomenal! Sunshine bumblebee had grilled cheese and fries which she said was great. And ice cream over a warm chocolate chip cookie for dessert. The crush drinks were great too! The staff were great. The manager came out and spoke to us. This is definitely a great place for families. It was a diverse crowd, some were watching the games, others just enjoying their meal. Head on over to Green turtle in Bowie!

How they keep their jobs is some miracle I don't understand yet. Maybe nobody wants to work there. Idk. Anyway, I grew up in a time when customer service mattered (80s childhood to early teens in 90s). Now the AI would be a welcome replacement for these apathetic, recalcitrant, spoiled unapologetic brats. Yeah old man ranting and IDGAF. It is a lot to ask for basic service & a little attentiveness??? It takes 20 minutes for an introduction. They take your order and then they hide in the kitchen. These kids don't have a work ethic. Sorry to say.

Only bad thing was I couldn't change the screens. Service is still friendly and make some good suggestions. Had some new items on the menu which I chose for my meal. I got the trio plate. Sliders, wings and fried shrimp. Comes with 3 dipping sauces. Also got a side Caesar salad. I ordered the old bay malt vinegar wings. More old bay than anything but still crispy and juicy. My favorite restaurant never disappoints me.

I'm very sad to write this review as we had high hopes for this place my aunt picked for my Uncle's…read more70th Birthday. She was so excited she rented the party room and paid a lot to have the food catered. We had 56 people so a very large party but the room just managed to fit everyone, however it was a very tight fit. We had two servers Braiden and a tall gentleman who were helping out but it appears it might of been too much for them to handle on their own. The food was taking forever and one table didn't get service until about an hour and half in. By the time I got up to get my food everything was already gone! There were three shrimp left in the pan and we only saw the tall guy twice through the whole visit (they should have been checking on people more frequently) someone should be stopping by and reachable every 20 minutes as it was a lot of people with a fixed menu so it shouldn't have been this difficult. If they were doing the checks like they were supposed to, there wouldn't have been empty pans with people upset they missed a round of food. I never got to get any of the other options because by the time the second round of food did come it was already gone (this tells you people were hungry) and no one came to replace the food in a timely manner. My aunt and uncle were so disappointed as we trusted them with a big event like a 70th Birthday and they definitely missed the mark here. We've had great experiences at Copper Canyon with the same amount of people for my Aunt's Birthday with no issue, great service and great food. The food here was also not great and took far too long. What were they doing? Making each pan once the other ran out? You need to be ready to replace ASAP no one wants to wait until they lose their appetite to get their food. You need to be at the very least doing refills and then checking the pans periodically. This was not done and it was such a disappointment to my uncle he actually pulled our service to the side and told him this was not the level of service we expected for how much money we spent here. Others also ordered drinks and food on top of the menu that was fixed so they definitely made a lot off this party for them to do us this dirty is unacceptable. I don't usually write reviews this bad but it was really a terrible experience for everyone and felt like a complete waste of money. This is a nice spot if you want something quick but for parties this size they are ill-prepared. Please save yourself the time and embarrassment and look at other options because this definitely was not it and they knew they weren't able to accommodate this size party with just two people and it showed in the level of service they provided. I was so disappointed I only ordered a drink and pushed away my plate. The shrimp tasted weird to me and I love seafood, plus we never got to have all the options like sliders they had on the menu is how slow they were to replace the pans. Everyone commented on how long they were taking and how the food was not good here. This was a negative star experience - skip this place if you care about who you bring here. I wouldn't even bring someone I didn't like very much here honestly. Normalize letting companies know when and where they miss the mark so they can improve because man let me tell you I'd want my money back if it was me.
