02/20/26 5 Stars **…read more Wife and I were in Annapolis for a doctor's appointment, and afterwards she asked, "Where are you taking me for lunch?" I jumped on Yelp and started searching. I had heard about a seafood place in Severna Park, but I wasn't in the mood for seafood. That's when I came across Betty Lou's. As soon as I looked at the food photos, I knew that's where we were headed. It was about a 20 minute ride from Annapolis not bad at all. Betty Lou's is located in a shopping center. There were a few cars in the lot when we pulled up, but I wasn't sure if they were there for the restaurant or other businesses nearby. When we walked in, there was one person sitting at the bar. We asked if we could sit there, and the bartender (don't remember her name) was very pleasant and welcoming. She thanked us for coming in, and when I mentioned I found the place on Yelp, she explained that everything is made fresh to order. They have an excellent selection of craft drinks on the menu, the assortment of cocktails and wines that look very good. My wife ordered an iced tea, and I had the Jimmy Red Old Fashioned. The drink looked fantastic, and she took her time carefully measuring each ingredient. That's how cocktails are supposed to be made balanced and flavorful, not just tasting like straight liquor. If I wanted that, I'd just order bourbon neat. For lunch, my wife ordered the meatloaf with collard greens and roasted potatoes. I had already decided on the chicken pot pie after seeing it online. I did find it a little strange they don't offer mashed potatoes as a side with meatloaf, that would've made it a home run in my opinion. When the food arrived, everything looked excellent. The pot pie was larger than I expected compared to the pictures, and the meatloaf was a generous portion as well. After the first bite, I can honestly say it was one of the best chicken pot pies I've had loaded with tender chicken, carrots, onions, celery, and a rich, flavorful gravy. And the pastry crust? The BEST I've ever had. It was big enough that I had leftovers for dinner. My wife's meatloaf was tender and flavorful, and the collard greens were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The roasted potatoes were just okay again, mashed would've put it over the top but that's just personal preference. She also had plenty leftovers for dinner. The food was great, the décor was nicely done, and the service was excellent. If this place were closer to home, it would definitely be a regular spot for us. We need something like this down in Calvert County. Overall, if you're looking for a great meal and well-crafted drinks, Betty Lou's is absolutely worth the drive even if you live a little ways away.

Walked in and maybe about 10 customers with some at the bar and some at the tables. We went up to the bar grabbed a couple of seats and bartender asked what we wanted. We let her know it was our first visit to which she replied with an unenthusiastic "...welcome". That was it. I then asked what draft beer they had and she condescendingly let me know that "we don't have draft beer". Maybe it's just me but when people come into a bar that doesn't have a kitchen or draft beer for the first time the bartender/server might want to lead with those 2 tidbits of information. Also maybe 1. Since you don't have draft beer, is there other stuff you don't have that most people would think would be there? 2. How does the ordering food work with the food truck? Do we go get it ourselves or do we order inside? 3. If we're there during happy hour, which I think we were (I'm still not sure) maybe let us know what the food and drink specials are. 4. Even if we're not here during happy hour, since it's our first time there maybe you let us know when happy hours and specials are anyway for future reference. As for the rest of the visit, we got 2 beers and listened to the bartender break down boxes and complain to other staff the whole time. I guess we'll try them again now that we know the deal.

Service was attentive and welcoming! Appetizers, sandwiches, and all things pub style I wanted something simple for a somewhat late (for me) meal. I went with the shrimp salad on brioche with sweet potato fries. I prefer my lettuce crisp, limpy no thanks, so I opted for tomatoes and raw onions. The fries were still sizzlin' off the frier it burned my tongue lol. It's ok, I'm the nut that loves her food hot and this meal was simple it satisfied. Hendricks cured that burn quick and left me warm on a cool evening. All was well on my 1st visit!

First of all it has the nice country club feel without feeling stuffy, good lighting, comfortable seating, cozy, with a beautiful view overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. You can't get a better view at most places. I got oysters, and the crab cake with mashed potato and broccolini. Really fresh, and the crab cakes had a lot of crab with little filler, the mashed potatoes was flavorful and the broccolini was not overcooked, al dente and again nicely seasoned. Would definitely return.

They are most loved for their karaoke nights that I have been present for numerous times but never participated. They have a full bar and the bartenders are always great. While they don't have a menu, the only food they have are small pizzas (frozen and cooked behind bar) and some bags of chips. They do allow you to bring your own food in if you wish. There is nothing fancy about the Nautical and my favorite detail about them is how they have shower curtains as bathroom doors. It is a great low key party spot.
