    Crab pretzel dip
    Yan W.

    So this is the restaurant side and there is another brewery side. Very typical bar food. The waitstaff is incredibly friendly. I had the March madness hotdog and the crab and pretzel dip. Again. Basic bar food but I would be back if in the area.

    I've always really enjoyed Frisco's menu in that it offers as many veggie / pescetarian options as full fledged meat....and the new digs make this place even better. Love that the place looks updated, open, bright, fresh...but the vibe is very 'come as you are.' Tshirt to button down shirts: all good! Stand outs: - French onion soup. This is the real deal. No mix, not salty. Might even venture to say it's my fave in the area!! - Moroccan coffee. We accidentally had the brunch menu stuck in our dinner menu but glad we saw this to order it. It's a much smoother, lighter, delicious version of an Irish coffee Solid: -crab cake sandy: solid crab chunks!! Suggestions: - whipped feta app: thought it'd be lighter..might be more accurate to call it creamed feta (like the cream cheese texture it truly resembles)

    Scallop special
    Melissa M.

    We had a friend visiting from MA and since we enjoyed lunch here the weekend before we thought we'd try dinner! There is plenty of space and they spread people out well. I got their scallop and Parmesan risotto special. It was really good! Although the scallops a bit small. R got the prime rib, which was good but would have been easier to deal with if it came on a real plate and wasn't placed on top of the mashed potatoes. Our friend got the tap house chicken sandwich and really enjoyed it. Although stated on the menu we later realized, our waiter asked her if she wanted fries, onion rings, risotto or a side salad and she chose the salad. We were just surprised at the charge on the check with the way it was presented by the waiter. We had to wait about 20 minutes after our food and drink cups were cleared before we could ask for our check. Thank goodness you can pay with the QR code because we wanted to leave. Otherwise this would be 5 stars!

    I really wanted to like this place as a new option for brunch but after two visits it's probably coming off that list. First visit chicken and waffles. The chicken was extra extra crispy as in overcooked and seemed to be more batter than chicken. Toast was served dry and we had to ask for butter. They don't offer jelly. Second visit Cajun breakfast skillet had no noticeable chorizo but was loaded with potatoes. So many that I just got tired of eating them. Again, our bread choice was served dry and we had to ask for butter. Would it be so difficult to just add it to the plate in the kitchen? There certainly was plenty of room on the plate for it.

    I've been here for brunch and lunch. They have bottomless mimosas for brunch. The atmosphere is great and they have two sides; one more quiet side that's great for a date where you can chat easily and a more club looking side with games. The food has been great and so has the service. Not to mention that they have California burrito with French fries!!

    Tiny salty soup
    G M.

    Frisco- Columbia I would like to say it was just a Monday in the kitchen, but....... the restaurant week menu was a complete disaster. The soup was ridiculously salty, I got the shrimp as a mediocre substitute (salty breading) The whipped feta was ok, not whipped enough for my taste, huge chunks. My lamb lollipops was still alive and kicking (medium rare was beyond rare!)re-fired! But the glaze reduced down to ...... dare I say it...... Salty Gravy glued to a shingle!!! The salmon and crab cake was delicious. and then there is dessert...... the bread pudding was excellent (wish the sauce was in a container) as we got it to go..... Then the chocolate mousse ..... grainy, more like wet pudding and the ice cream is cheap and generic this is definitely not at the price point. It is a cavernous restaurant and bar, seemed clean and tidy, until.... The men's room didn't have hand soap in the dispenser there is fuzzy stuff growing on the intake vent above the handicapped stall. the hallway to the restroom had a sticky spot that tried to take my shoe. All of this and there was maybe 5 tables and a few people at the bar. It was a ghost town on the "fun" bar area. Although we tipped 20% Our server disappeared more than a few times, them meal them way longer that'd it should have , even with the other problems. Yes we got a visit from the manager for the lamb (baaaaaaaaa) issue. Nothing subtracted from the check or maybe a gift card to try them again in the future. Don't try to message them on FB, they look but don't say anything.

    Potato latkes with sour cream
    Farah K.

    I can only speak to the food i got delivered from Frisco and it was pretty good. I happened to notice on FB that they were advertising a birria weekend. Birria tacos, cheesesteaks, nachos, burritos. Having not sampled it yet, I got excited to try it out. Also ordered potato latkes cos why not? :p Food arrived packed well. Birria tacos came with consommé and it was delicious even warmed up after a delivery. The consommé really does make the tacos. The potato latkes came with sour cream and I had applesauce at home so that also made for a delicious meal, if eclectic between the two very different items we ordered. I hope they keep the birria tacos on their permanent menu! Also very good social media presence!

    Liked the sleek decor and open ambience. They had 3 TVs at the bar to catch all the Sunday football games. It wasn't crowded as we were there between lunch and dinner. Very friendly bar tender/server. The beers we tried were good - the option for a beer flight was not available though. The crab dip appetizer I ordered was ok and I liked the presentation - not very crabby flavored though and a bit spicy. But the BEST was the campfire brownie dessert ... homemade brownie, vanilla ice cream, toasted marshmallow and a delicious chocolate drizzle ... not overly sweet and just perfect jn every way! That brownie is worth another visit and I will try entree item on the menu.

    Dobbin Road cheesesteak
    Mia L.

    Recently, I've been having this insatiable craving for a cheesesteak. I've lived in Maryland for 6 years now and I still have yet to find a cheesesteak that is the real deal. I've been following Frisco Taphouse on social media and realized that they've been having these weekly pop ups for different items that typically aren't on the menu. Well today was my lucky day! Today (Friday) was their cheesesteak day. They have about 5-6 different types of cheesesteaks to choose from. I ended up getting the Dobbin Road cheesesteak which included provolone, sauteed onions, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. It was cheesy. It was drippy. It was perfect...at least for now. I ordered my food to go by telephone. They provide you with several options so you can make the experience as contactless as you want. I was given the option to pay over the phone or at the restaurant. I was also given the option of curbside service or coming into the restaurant. Frisco Taphouse is currently open for indoor and outdoor dining. The tables and barstools appear to be socially distanced and they have clear plastic shields up between some of the seats. The servers who assisted me provided solid customer service and I had an overall good experience.

    Crab cake sandwich.
    Terri K.

    Came here with another couple for an early dinner on a Sunday. It wasn't busy around 4pm. I enjoyed the crab cake but it wasn't a typical MD style cake and I added old bay to mine. Fries are good, peanut oil style. The sushi burrito was enjoyed by my spouse but it seemed like it should have had something on the side with it like a small salad or pickled cabbage like what came with the ribs meal. The ribs were reportedly tender, the pasta was pretty good and filling per my friends. I had their house Blonde beer and it was very good! We all liked our drinks--the Porter was tasty as well. The lights above were pretty cool and massive. There was a band playing in the attached brewery side. Overall I thought it was a nice meal. I'm pescatarian so options were a little slim. The option for a mushroom burger was nice.... but I want a veggie or impossible burger option to replace any of the burger offerings with a side!

They usually have reservations and larger parties, but it's a pretty open/communal space, so there aren't typically issues with seating. All in all, a great spot for many occasions.

    Brunch at Elliott's Craft Kitchen: A Promising Start With a Few Missed Beats…read more.. I recently visited Elliott's Craft Kitchen a fairly new spot that my group of four decided to try out for brunch. We were hoping for a fresh experience, but our visit turned out to be a mixed bag. Ambiance and First Impressions... When we arrived, the restaurant was surprisingly empty, which was a bit of a head-scratcher for brunch time. Even though we could hear staff chatting in the back, it took a good five to eight minutes before anyone came out to seat us. Once we were seated, we noticed the lighting was so dim that we actually had to whip out our phones just to read the menu. Not exactly the cozy brunch vibe we were hoping for. The Food: Hits and Misses... On to the food. We started with the cream of crab soup, which was just okay--nothing to write home about. The Brussels sprouts were a bit of a letdown. They were tiny and mostly just fried leaves rather than the hearty sprouts we expected. So if you're imagining those classic roasted Brussels sprouts, this wasn't it. The chicken and waffles were decent in flavor, although the presentation could have used some polish. The pita bread for the crab dip could have been toasted or something more firm and doesn't taste like it was immediately pulled from a bag. Surprisingly, the star of the meal ended up being something as simple as the French fries. They were really tasty and stood out more than some of the fancier dishes. Service and the Final Stretch... Our server was kind and polite, which we appreciated. But the big hiccup came at the end. Their payment system went down, and we ended up waiting over 30 minutes just to settle the bill. After sitting for about 15 minutes we informed our server that we would like to wait in the lounge area to get more comfortable as I understand.... things happen. Although while we waited for about 20 minutes there were no offers of water or anything to make the wait less awkward (not to mention asking for payment without even presenting a bill). It felt like they were more focused on turning the table than making sure we were okay during the delay. Although maybe it was an awkward start to the morning. I will say our server did her best to work things out with the technology she was given. So, I still provided her a fair tip, not her fault. Value for Money... In terms of pricing, it felt pretty average overall, but there were a few eyebrow-raisers. For instance, the avocado toasted croissant--topped with over-easy eggs, baby spinach, and Grana Padano--was $19, which felt a bit steep for what it was. In comparison, a pork schnitzel dish was around $21. So, while the pricing wasn't outrageous, some items definitely made me pause and question the value. Overall Thoughts... In the end, my experience at Elliott's Craft Kitchen was a bit of a letdown. So I'm surprised by some of the reviews (maybe because it was not dinner). While there were a few highlights (like the fries and a well-made Old Fashioned), the service hiccups and the underwhelming dishes mean I'd probably think twice before going back. Definitely not for brunch but I would really consider Dinner after some more reviews. Hopefully they'll iron out the kinks as they get more established.

The atmosphere was warm and friendly, welcoming and not pretentious, a mix of couples, families, and groups of friends enjoying a night out. The restaurant was bustling, the bar area was nearly full and while we did have a reservation, it appeared not to be absolutely necessary. Service was friendly, prompt, and informative.    I started with one of their craft cocktails and our server recommended a beer for my friend. The drinks were perfectly refreshing and a good start to our evening. When my friend saw they had oysters, this convinced him we had chosen wisely. We selected a mix of their oyster offerings. They arrived chilled and with just the right amount of condiments making for a tantalizing slurp to start our dinner. For starters, we selected the Brussels Sprouts and the Roasted Beet Carpaccio. The Brussels were perhaps some of the best we've had in quite some time, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The goat cheese on the Beet Carpaccio was very good, but for me, the flavor profile wasn't quite there, it needed a little more acidity. For dinner, my friend selected the Shrimp and Grits, and I chose the Argentinian Steak. While quite good, constructive criticism would be that the vinegar in the chimichurri, smothered an otherwise perfectly cooked, flavorful steak and the rosemary overpowered the roasted potatoes. The grits, while delicious, were almost too creamy rich, but otherwise a delicious blend of sausage and shrimp. For dessert, we shared the Key Lime Pie and the Carrot Cake. The cake was very good, but we weren't fans of the hardened frosting top, and we wished the Key Lime Pie had even more tart, lime flavor.   The portions were plentiful, the price point was reasonable, and all plates were wonderfully presented. The friendly neighborhood environment, atmosphere, and service all enhanced our dining experience. Definitely give them a try, we will return and look forward to it.
