    The front/bar area of Ernie's- dining booths in back.
    Randy C.

    So Ernie's is 60% diner 40% local/dive-bar. It is clean and has a small town, older, like '70s vibe. The beer menu on the wall above the bar is for kegs, cases and 30paks - and tap deposits. They have domestic beer in cans, bottles and draft. This isn't a craft brew pub. The food is honest & delicous- a real cheeseburger and some very solid onion rings. They have a good selection of other sandwiches I'll be back to have. People were polite and the barkeep was very polite and responsive. Sincerely was pleasantly surprised and will be back

    Never a bad drink!

    overall really friendly crowd despite it being very small town and also there were a lot of young kids because again the college is there.

    If you want a "just average" eating experience you should skip Rock Salt…read more It was fantastic. But, get there early, make a reservation, or be prepared to wait. My brother and I wanted something for lunch after going to a car swap meet. We landed on Rock Salt Grille. I'd eaten there several times before. We arrived at 11:45 AM (Saturday) and there was a 30 minute wait, so we grabbed two comfortable seats at the bar. A good call. I had the Rock Salt Oysters, broiled with bacon and parmigiana. Delightful. I also had the cream of, and Maryland crab, soup combination. My brother had the crab cake sandwich. I'd had it before, but wanted the oysters. His crab cake sandwich was double the size of any I'd ever seen, without exaggeration. He guessed it was 8 ounces or more, without exaggeration, with no visible filler, (Broiled). I had a few beers and we split the Bread pudding with Grand Marnier sauce. It was enough for four. The bar and food service was spectacular with "tag teaming" to make sure we didn't wait for anything. I'd like to thank the bartenders who served us perfectly: Kelsey and Nikkea. Award winners. Rock Salt is not inexpensive, but the quality of the food and the great service justify the premium. I'll be back more often

Two of us ordered the stuffed rockfish which both said was delicious and there were no problems with the dish. Did have a problem with a photo so that is why you don't see one below. The old bay wings were cooked perfectly. The dressing was extremely good and the celery was the best I have ever had. It was light and crispy. I normally don't eat celery, but this was incredible. I was impressed. The double crab cake dinner was perfect, along with the green beans and baked potato. The lobster and filet mignon were cooked well and to order. The accompanying green beans and baked potato were also perfect. The waiter was prompt, polite and accommodating. We were checked on by the hostess, and the general manager was seen monitoring the restaurant. The ambiance was excellent. The restaurant was noisy, but this is to be expected since the restaurant was almost at capacity. I only saw one table for two that was empty. When we left an hour later, we were the only guests left in the back dining room. The rest of the restaurant was at or near capacity.

    Our party of 3 arrived at 4:10 last night a Saturday evening. We did have to wait 10 minutes as the…read morehostess stated a table was currently paying their check and they would get the table cleaned as soon as possible. As we were being led to our table I noticed many empty tables and 4 empty booths. I asked if we could get a booth rather than the table but she said no as they were reserved..okay. We had MD crab, cream of crab, and scallops wrapped in bacon for appetizer. All excellent! My soft crab sandwich and side of onion rings all cooked to perfection. My friends had shrimp and grits and stuffed rockfish, both meals exquisite. For dessert lemon tart and the chocolate peanut butter cake. Yum, the only thing that could have made that better was a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Kudos for using a local company for their desserts, Bertuccos Bakery and giving them credit on the menu. Love it, supporting other Carroll County businesses. To top of the entire evening we had Blake as our server, the absolute % best. From the introduction, use of beverage napkins under our drinks, clearing of dirty dishes, and to the dry humor he engaged us with us throughout the evening. Thank you! In today's society many servers are handing me my bill before I even finish my meal and dont bother to clear away dirty dishes. What a pleasant evening out with friends with great food and quality service. We left by 530pm and the entire time we were there, at least 3 booths and a couple of tables were consistently vacant. Your hostesses need to work a little better at seating people without long wait times. The couple behind us were told a 45 minute wait. This is not our first time at Maryland Mallet and have been turned away at 4pm on a Saturday before due to no seating available because of reservations. Growing up in the hospitality industry, I would say that you may be losing some potential revenue. Just a thought! Kudos to Blake and your kitchen staff!

    OK!!!! my second time around I ordered jumbo crabs maybe 2 out the dozen where actually jumbo but…read moreHeather was the worst server ever!!! because i ordered at 12 noon to guarantee my jumbo crabs . I was told by Heather " the next time don't order from carryout to eat over HERE!!" and was treated horribly once i arrived . She placed paper for me to eat my crabs served me one blue moon and never returned with a crab bucket !! Then I proceeded to order some food 20 minutes later it came 30 minutes later by then I was livid. when i ordered i asked if i could eat my crab on the dining side the gentleman over the phone asked his manager he replied that was fine, so i proceeded to make my way from Baltimore Woodlawn area to LITTLE TOWN TOWARDS UNION MILLS GETTYSBURG in far end of Westminster TO be treated WITH UNDIGNIFIED PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE DISRESPECT never again!!!!

    It's the nicest dining experience I've ever been associated with…read more My opinion only: This venue should be reserved for the most special occasions and for you, it may be simply waking up for the day. During our visit we heard several birthday cheers, noticed a retirement gathering and for us it was to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. To our surprise, the restaurant created a special dining menu noting our last name and our celebration. I was taken back with that gesture and acknowledgment although it's a testament to the service and care you will experience. This venue and team do the little thing right and will exceed expectations! Regarding the service, it was second to none with multiple staff and waiters at your side. The Smokehouse offers several dining options and host large parties and even weddings. The restaurant is huge and in associated with the historic Atrium 1844 hotel and property nestled on about 25acres. To the food: There are a few options to order from the menu and if you like wine pairing this is the spot. I chose the pairing option for my duck appetizer, scallop dinner and desert although didn't opt for champagne that complemented the surprise chef offering or my dinner salad. My wife had the beet salad, cod entree, dinner salad and orange cake. Every dish was incredibly prepared with no complaints. I envision the kitchen being hustled like the Netflix series, BEAR with echos of, "yes Chef". This was truly a special dining and something I strongly recommend if it's in your budget. The ambiance of the old early American estate is breathtaking and the piano puts you in a calm for the evening of wonderful indulgence. Again, and my opinion reserve this venue for a special affair. Total bill was $270 minus tip. Sounds crazy but if you have the time and wish to create a special touch to a special occasion, the Smokehouse is a sound choice. Note: reservations were 7:15 and we walked out at 9:45. Might want to consider staying at the Atrium at this point.

    Beautiful place with amazing food and wonderful service. Highly recommend for an anniversary or…read moreromantic date.
