We eat at Evelyn's regularly. Their breakfast foods are reliably good and portions for everything on the menu are generous. The staff has always been pleasant and helpful even at the busiest times. The dining area is simple cafe with plenty of paintings by local artists on the walls to keep my eyes entertained while waiting for my meal. Their lunch menu includes a variety and what we have tried has always been tasty. But we seem to cycle back to the Ruben often. read more

Fresh and delicious food, friendly and responsive service, and a great location! This was our first and definitley not our last visit. The sweetpotato pancakes were scrumptious! I got blueberries and walnuts IN mine! Yum. We loved the tea options. The staff worked well together and were accommodating when we wanted to move away from the draft - even when the seating is limited. We were glad for the back partking lot and entrance. We do hope their expansion includes a bit more waiting space with their plans for additional seating! read more

Solid food choice for a breakfast in an adorable little bistro. The food was very good. The omelette good and the sweet potato biscuits and gravy were good also. read more

Got the veggie omelette, asked for goat in it and it was great side salad great too. Seemed quieter this time, maybe there is carpet now? I didn't notice. All was well except for the snarky waitress. She did what she was supposed to but with attitude. read more

Great spot! Worth getting there early Love their food, atmosphere and service It's a great neighborhood place! read more

Great for lunch. Tables a tad small (I like some room to spread out). Menu great. I wish they would open for dinner, with the same price point, plus option for a glass of wine. This more child friendly setting is missing in Annapolis. read more

Solid brunch spot. Nothing super fancy, but we ordered 4 different things from the menu and they were all tasty. I think my burrito was the best of the four Coffee was good, staff was friendly and attentive, and the establishment was cute. We'll be back! read more

Ordered takeout for a group of 10 from Evelyn's on a Friday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised when the order was ready within 20 minutes! The sandwiches and salads were all good, especially for being takeout. I have heard about the long waits at Evelyn's at breakfast, so recommend giving it a try for takeout or lunch instead sometime! read more

The sweet tea was very good. Cream of crab was good but very rich. Buffalo chicken Cesar was very large. Service was decent. The servers worked together to get the job done, which was good to see. Would like to return to try the French toast. Little pricey. In a cool area with consignment shops. Outside seating! read more

Must stop and try. The staff was great and very personable. The table next to us was all locals and the staff knew their orders and names. There were three of us and we all loved our food. We ordered the stuffed avocado special, chicken and goat cheese sandwich and the chorizo burrito. The perfect amount of food. read more

Very happy with the quality of food and the service. We were a group of 8 and chose to sit inside. We had no problem hearing each other because the noise level was minimal. It was a great restaurant. They didn't rush us. Everyone had something different and everyone was very pleased. I had the pancakes and they also offered gluten-free options for us as well. read more

We were in Town to watch our son pitch for Lafayette vs Navy and stopped into this hopping spot on Sunday morning for a pre-game breakfast. Small wait for a table but well worth it. I had the Feed the Navy omelet which had steak, sausage, bacon, cheddar cheese and it was cooked perfectly with a side of very good and hot hash browns and some kick butt marbled toast. Joyce went with a lunch option - loved her chicken salad sandwich with a chickpea salad on the side and a pickle. She still had coffee with it which reminded me of her mother but that's a different review to write some other time. Coffee was excellent and our server, Lauren J, was terrific. Glad we checked on Yelp and found this gem. read more

This review is strictly from the service standpoint because we were never able to order food. We walked in to wait to be seated since that is what the sign said. There were a couple of women in front of us, so we stood and waited. We looked at the menu and saw various workers walking around. After 10 minutes of no one acknowledging us we decided to seat ourselves at an open table outside. We sat for another 5-10 minutes and decided to leave since we still were unable to get acknowledged. I understand when people are busy, but a simple hello, we will be with you in a minute goes a long way. I personally felt unwelcome in the restaurant. I don't want to pull the race card, but I can't think of any other reason for being completely ignored and the unwelcome looks from the customers patronizing the business. We won't be back. read more

Beautiful, lots of upgrades but otherwise looks and menus like Regina's. Wonderful boy at the counter was a rockstar. I ordered what I used to always get at Regina's, a Scrapple Egg and Cheese sandwich on rye toast. Unfortunately the bead is Texas toast, the Scrapple was wafer thin. Eggs were nice but Stephanie we miss you. read more

We always have a great meal at Evelyn's restaurant. It's a perfect location in West Annapolis and service is excellent!

Nope, won't be back. Apparently they stop seating inside at 1:30. I walked in at 1:35 (on a hot and humid day) and was scolded by the wait staff. "You can take it to go, but you can't eat in here!" I was told. Sorry, I'll just go somewhere else. read more

Evelyn's has been on my "must try" list for quite some time. I ate here with my dad on a Friday around 12:30pm. The restaurant was packed outside and most of the tables were taken inside. We were told to sit wherever we liked. It took about 25-30 minutes to get our food. Not bad for a crowded Friday. We ordered: - Soup of the Day: Italian Wedding: Very hearty! I liked the taste. It's definitely a soup for a cold day. - Chicken & Cheddar Panini (chicken breast, cheddar cheese, bacon, avocado) with chips and pickle: Very good! The chicken wasn't dry. It had plenty of avocado, bacon, and cheese. I loved the waffle chips with seasoning. - Hash Bar (steak) with 2 eggs, toast, and home fries: My dad liked everything but the steak hash. The steak pieces were burnt to a crisp and tough as nails. At first, he thought they left the steak out (you can see from the photos they blend in with the potatoes) but he realized the dark burnt pieces were the steak. The potatoes were burnt and overdone as well. Very disappointing. My dad liked the 2 eggs and the toast was fine even though it was burnt along the edges. Sadly, the service we received wasn't as great as others have experienced. We were pretty much ignored compared to the other tables she had. She came over almost immediately after we sat down and gave us menus. We told her it was our first time eating there and we were excited. She went right into the drink order. She couldn't have cared less. She didn't suggest anything or mention what their restaurant was about (they support local farmers and have chalkboard list inside of the farms and where they are, sustainability, organic ingredients, etc) like we heard another server tell their table. We got our drinks shortly after. We were ready to order but she quickly walked away without saying a word and didn't come back for quite some time. While we waited for our food, she came by to refill my dad's tea. She spilled quite a bit of tea on the table. She walked away and never acknowledged it. There's no way she didn't see it while pouring. It was bizarre. We used our spare 2 napkins to sop up the mess. She spent most of her time chatting up patrons at a table outside. She never asked how our meal was. Towards the end of our meal, it seemed like she was trying to rush us out of the restaurant so they could turn over the table. Parking was a bit confusing. We were able to park on the street on the side of the building (make sure you read all posted signs!) You can use the the lot directly behind their building. The lot says it's private and doesn't say Evelyn's name, but a server we asked confirmed you can park there. Just a heads up for anyone wondering. I would be willing to give Evelyn's another try. I liked what I saw from the menu. My dad said he would pass. I did enjoy my meal. My dad only enjoyed part of his. If I do return, I hope I get a different server from the one we had. read more

Went for breakfast on Sunday, April 30th. I had avocado toast and my husband had a hash bowl. My breakfast was one slice of bread with avocado and underripe tomato slices. My side of home fries was clearly cooked from frozen and had absolutely no flavor or seasoning. My husband's "hash bowl" was eggs and home fries on a plate - also had no flavor. Service was slow and I had to wait over 20 minutes for the server to collect our payment. Our iced coffees were delicious and the restaurant was clean and quiet. Overall, though, it wasn't anything to call home about. read more

A very cute little spot! I happened to be in the area with a friend and we needed a spot to for a victory lunch. I was very happy to find this little place. It served breakfast and lunch food too! It was affordable and a hopping little place at 11 am on a weekday! The waitress was very nice and friendly too! When we walked in, there were two signs that pointed in 2 different directions, one for dine in and one for carry out. We followed the sign and sat ourselves. It wasn't very long before the waitress came and gave us our menus. We had our drinks before us lickity split too! I ordered the pig in a bacon blanket. It came with home fries and 2 eggs ordered over easy. It was a perfect sized meal and delicious on every count! There really isn't anything bad I could say about this place nor would I want to. Great Spot! read more

This is the second time we have been here and while the establishment is nice and clean. The price increases are absolutely absurd. The images on yelp showing their menu prices are 50% lower then what they currently are. I understand inflation but these prices are not the case, they are that of greed. Again the establishment is nice and the food is average but neither of those reflect the prices. If you wish to throw $17 away not including tip for two eggs and a sausage, just let me know and I have some ocean front property in Arizona I can sell you. read more

Good food. Reasonably priced. Good service. There is enough space to hold a lunch meeting on one side of the restaurant providing some privacy. read more

Great breakfast food and fast service. A must try for breakfast. Coffee is also very good ( I am a coffee snob).

Came here for a quick lunch the other day. My parents dine here somewhat regularly but for me it was my first experience. It was smaller and a tad dingier than I imagined. While it was an overall good experience with great service, I wasn't particularly floored by the food quality. I had the Rachel with a side of coleslaw (I wasn't thinking). It was a decent, tasty sandwich. I felt the coleslaw tasted much better on the side than on the sandwich. If I return I'll be sure to try something from their all day breakfast menu. It's a rarity these days so I give them props for that. read more

Good food. Reasonably priced. Can be too loud. Dining inside and outside. Local favorite.

We stumbled across this place searching on Google Maps and thought we would try it for our Sunday morning Brunch. It is right across the street from a dinner venue we just tried during the Holidays and we didn't even notice it . Beyond having to wait for a table standing up, this place was a pleasant surprise. We understand why it was so crowded. The atmosphere is ideal and very cozy for a weekend breakfast, brunch or lunch in West Annapolis. Especially during the cold winter months. We both had omelet dishes with salmon and they were nothing less than excellent. Very fresh ingredients, tasty and well prepared. Not to mention the light speed service. This places only problem is finding room to expand. The coffee was very good too and you never have to wait for a refill. What really was a surprise was the very reasonable prices. A small bowl of fresh fruit as a side is only a dollar. Ironically, that is cheaper than buying it at a grocery store. We highly recommend this charming little neighborhood restaurant if you are looking for delicious farm to table cuisine with great service. read more

Nice breakfasts place. Not very big but cozy. Staff was very nice and accommodating. The food pretty average but all in all we enjoyed it and would go again. read more

Three tries, once for lunch and twice for breakfast. Currently loving the vanilla French toast and pancakes! I've had the steak & blue cheese salad and the Reuben too, but I definitely like the breakfast offerings a little bit more. The buttermilk pancakes are fluffy and crispy around the edges, just the way I remember my Dad making them on weekends. The helpings are generous, which my belly appreciates, though my thighs certainly do not. The atmosphere is also delightful and airy. I bring in my laptop every once in a while, and I find that it's the perfect place to nosh and work. The service is super friendly and you can tell that the locals are digging this place because the cops are regulars based on the 3 occasions that I've visited. I'll be coming back! read more

Evelyn's - A little crispy around the edges, but let's dig in to see what it's all about! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

This is very disappointing. We have been eating at Evelyn's for close to 3 years, and the service has taken a dramatic nose dive. This was our frequent stop on Saturday mornings before we started our day. I had many lunch meet ups here, over the years, with outstanding service. My wife and I went here on Labor Day Saturday. It was not busy, for we arrived at 0800. It took 22 minutes for anyone to visit our table for our beverage order, then another 20 minutes for the food. The waiter was difficult to understand for he spoke in such a soft tone, it was as if he was mumbling. Never came back for a coffee fill up, or to ask if we needed anything else. He gave us the check and we left. It is also to note, the place seemed dirty. The bathrooms were not to the cleanliness they had been, the walls had food splatter on them, and the floor was not swept for quite some time. Let's try it again on a Tuesday, 2 weeks after Labor Day. Shouldn't be too bad. Everyone has an off day. Went today after a visit to the Doctor. I noticed the same mumbling waiter outdoors attending to a patron. I went inside, waiting to be seated. The inside was not in good shape. Empty plates littered the tables, and the bar. There were only 3 folks inside eating. I waited for the waiter to come inside, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes. At this point I could see they really do not care about their costumers, and left. I walked out to see the waiter and the 1 person outside carrying on about something that was amusing. Not a care in the world that I had walked in 5 minutes earlier, to get a seat. Truly, truly disappointing that a 5 star eatery can quickly become a 1 star avoidance. Turn it around Evelyn's, hire more folks, and start caring about your costumers again. You were my favorite place in Annapolis to eat. read more

Breakfast should not be this expensive, it's just eggs and some flour. Would have got twice the amount of food at doubletree diner. read more

Incredibly friendly service and the food was fantastic. They were busy when we stopped in for lunch, but our food and drinks came out quickly regardless, the staff continued to be kind, and I'm definitely planning to return on my next trip in the area! read more

Great food. Cozy feel. Ingredients are high quality (corned beef especially! Also chorizo) Great service, too. The loaded oatmeal even, was great. Definitely will be coming back read more

Food was great but took Forever. We were going to leave but a waitress finally came to take our coffee order. From sitting down to getting a cup of coffee took 13 mins. Our waitress Karli was awful... unfriendly and nowhere to be found to give our food order and a coffee refill. The other waitress waiting on table next to us was super nice and could hear there were breakfast specials...Hmm guess Karli didn't know about them to tell her tables. 48 mins later food finally arrived from the food runner; no coffee refill or Karli in sight until 10 more minutes later when she tossed the check on the table without a word. Again waited finally asked bus boy to cash us out. It's unfortunate as the food was tasty but service was terrible read more

The is a very cute brunch spot. The owner was very nice and very hands-on. He made our mimosa's and they were delicious! The place was very busy and the service was a tad bit slow but not bad by any means. The mimosas took about 5-7 minutes to get to our table, which isn't terrible. I ordered the corned beef hash bar with cheddar cheese. Although I would have liked the home fries to be a little crispier, the corned beef was so fresh and flavorful. The eggs were cooked perfectly. My fiancé ordered the breakfast burrito and it was delicious. The toast was also delicious and tasted like it was freshly baked! I will be returning! read more

Great vibes all around! As soon as you walk in, it's laid back, and everyone is quite friendly. It feels like you're at your friend's grandma's kitchen. The coffee was phenomenal!! I always get a cup of joe when I eat breakfast out, and this is the top I've had in Naptown. For entrees, go with the Feed the Navy omelet. It is a lot of food and puts you in a great place. read more

This place was exactly what I wanted for brunch on a Saturday. When I drove up there were some guys outside doing some work on the patio so maybe they'll be adding some outdoor seating! The outside was cute but the inside was cuter! The atmosphere was homey and a bit loud but it worked for this place. It was bright and airy inside with simple and chic decor. They are a locally owned restaurant and source their ingredients from local farms which I love. Pro tip: it seems to be mostly seat yourself unless there is a wait. We chose a table in the middle of the restaurant and were immediately greeted by a very nice server who took our drink order and brought us some water. Both my friend and I ordered the mimosa that was on special for brunch. It was a classic mimosa with fresh squeezed OJ and was very good. For brunch we both ordered the hash bar. I ordered it with corned beef and my friend with steak. We also ordered a single blueberry pancake because they looked delicious! As we waited for our meals the staff checked on us periodically and filled our waters promptly. They were all very friendly. When we got our brunches they looked delicious! Mine was awesome... the corned beef was well seasoned and slightly sweet, which I liked. I got it with fried eggs, that were perfectly cooked to over medium, and the marbled rye toast, which was amazing. My friend liked hers, but the steak was a little over cooked which took away from the tastiness of the hash. As far as the pancake went, the pancake itself was very good but we felt like there were not enough blueberries to validate a $1 up charge. I would probably get the chocolate chip next time as it seemed to be a larger chips to pancake ratio. All in all it was a lovely experience and I would definitely visit again! Next time I'll probably check out lunch!! read more

I have only been here once and ordered an omelet. It was a pretty good omelet. The service was ok (missing silverware, asked for extra plates twice after the waitress forgot). I'll give it another shot with their lunch menu and update. read more

Great place to eat! The food is always amazing and the people there are so friendly!! Gets packed on the weekend but worth the wait. Ive been going there for a while now and I am always very happy with my food, not very good for large groups but they can do it read more

First time visit. Inside decor is disappointing, dull. Strange entrance and view of the kitchen. Entire place seemed run by teenagers and not very good. Slow to see our waiter and waited too long to get our food. Food was just ok and not well presented on the plate. Probably won't return. read more

Great service in a bright and cheerful environment. My selection was very tasty well seasoned and served hot. I enjoyed my omelette (Fish in the barnyard). The salmon with spinach mushrooms and goat cheese was an excellent combo. I also must mention the coffee was good too. read more
