Jailbreak was a great experience. They have two parts to the restaurant. To the left you can order food. I had the dry age burger and it did not disappoint! If you love onions you'll enjoy the onion crumble on this burger. A good balance of flavors and well worth the try. Parmesan fries also had roasted garlic so it was a big "Yes" for me! My husband got the jailbreak burger which was also a big crowd pleaser. To the right they have a full bar to try their different beers. A great spot to take your friends for after work drinks and eats. They even have a cozy lounge area to relax. Plenty of seating and great service. The staff was ready and willing to help and cleared off our tables for us. The tab system makes it easy to move from room to room so you don't have to worry, it's easy to add drinks and food as you relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Will definitely recommend for a relaxed atmosphere where you can watch games and also enjoy lively conversation. Better than a sports bar for food AND drinks. read more

Service is always very attentive and there's plenty of options to choose from for both food and drinks. I was excited for the Japanese Bluefin Tuna, but was a bit let down. There was like a tangy sauce on the tuna which took away from the flavor of the fish and for $22 I was expecting something a bit more. Otherwise, Jailbreak is always a solid choice for drinks and grub. 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. read more

Jailbreak Foodworks - sweet italian sausage flatbread - Brewpubs Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Busier than I expected for a Thursday evening, but we managed to grab the last couple empty seats at the bar. I am not much of a beer drinker so was happy to see they had some cocktail options. I ordered the Blackberry mule. It was just the right amount of sweetness in my opinion. My friend got a flight- their favorite was the Udder Chocolate with Boats and Hose as the runner up. I wasn't originally planning to get food but could not help myself when I saw they had a Chicago style hotdog. It was tasty despite being a bit of a mess to eat with the topping piled high. It comes with a side of kettle cooked chips that somehow managed to be just as good, maybe even better than the hot dog. The bartenders were pleasant and efficient with checking in on us and clearing plates as needed. read more

Tried Jailbreak Foodworks for lunch and went with the brisket sandwich and fries. The brisket was tender with a nice smoky flavor, and the fries came out hot and crispy. Portions were generous, so I definitely didn't leave hungry. The atmosphere was laid-back and the staff was friendly. read more

Had a great time here. They aged totoro is amazing. Amazing. absolutely get this. Mine was aged 45 days! I also had the aged burger which is good also but not the best aged burger I've had(!). I had 2 beers, a hazy which wasn't bad and a fruitier one that I really liked. Also had the ice cream cookie and it absolutely hit the spot. Know that there are no kids allowed after 7pm! I watched a family get turned away. read more

I don't come to jailbreak foodworks often because I'm not an avid beer drinker, but every time I go I'm reminded of why I enjoy it so much. The food is delicious, I've had the chicken sandwich, their hand cut fries, but on this day I had their aged burger and when I tell you it's top tier... trust me. The vibe in this space is cool too, albeit as loud as you would imagine a brewery. The lighting is nice, it's decorated great, there's a lot of seating space, couches, and more. It's never taken me long to get my food, and the service is always good. read more

Not my first time but my first review of this place. I enjoyed the drinks and the food. Easygoing atmosphere. I like several of their non-IPA brews. Boats & Hose is my favourite. I tried their Crabtown vienna lager and liked it. Their Old Fashioned cocktails are excellent. If you can't get to Jailbreak, their brews are available in many liquor stores & bars in the Annapolis area. You get the drinks on one side of their place and food on the other. If you open up a tab, it follows you on both sides. Convenient, low friction. The Steak & Frites with Korean BBQ seasoning were great. Glad they included malt vinegar in the condiments bar for the chips. (A Britishism of mine.) I hope to return once in a while. read more

Jailbreak Foodworks - WILD MUSHROOM - Brewpubs Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

You live in this area for years and never know what's around! That's my case here with Jailbreak. Great place for local beer and other drinks and, of course, the aged beef. Since this was my first time, I went with my friends' recommendation to try their cheeseburger. I must say, it's the best I've had so far! Light, not heavy and dense. Well done with sautéed thin onions with melting cheese. Loved it so much wanna take my husband there soon. His mobility challenges always make me think carefully before we venture out but I think he'll really like their food. I did the 4 beef sampler as well, and enjoyed them greatly, esp the Infinite. Pricey so good for once in awhile I think. read more

We love the place! One of the unique place! The decoration, menu both was unique... I like the garden that they made on the wall! You order your meal on the left side, kitchen. And you order your drink on the right side, bar. They give you a little device with your order and when you order get ready, the device buzzing! The burger was really good! Very juicy and tasty. And the chicken was pretty good, The fries are also pretty different, there was a garlic and scallions pieces in it. It was tasty. Their homemade sauce also was chili and tasty. You can also buy, meat and fish for to go! We will visit again for sure! I wanna try chicken wings and the salad! read more

The staff is really nice but I will not eat here again. This place is someone's idea for an innovative restaurant but I did not enjoy it, because I did not come here to be a server. Food was good, but not great. Beer was like A-minus, pretty darn good. The food is moderately expensive - like $15 for an order of truffle fries. $28 for a dry-aged burger. When I sat down, I naturally assumed that a person would serve me this food at this restaurant, but that's not how it works here. You walk across the building into another room where you order the food. You get a buzzer to alert you when your food is ready. When it buzzes, you get up again to go retrieve it... like when you order lunch at a food truck. This is a restaurant that has invested in literally everything a nice restaurant has except a server to bring you your food or a side of ketchup. When I pay $15 for fries, it's not because they're amazing (Burger King fries are better imo) - I pay for the service and convenience. This place makes pricey, inconvenient food. It'd be a terrible date or business meeting spot, because of the weird self-service requirement, which makes the nice atmosphere here even more baffling. ‍ read more

Jailbreak Foodworks - "CHICAGO-ISH" DOG - good picture but all of this disintegrates when you try to eat it - Brewpubs Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

This spot has been on my list for the last 3 or 4 years. I finally decided to go when I saw it was right next door the auto shop I took my car to recently. The staff here was very nice. I had a several questions for 3 different staff members I encountered and they were all happy to answer my questions and had good energy. The burger I got was unique and very much a craft burger. They have a lot of dry-aged meats here (including their burger), and I thought it was good and still a little juicy. The fries were average fries. I also got an orange crush that was also good, a cider, and sampled their slushies. They have a strawberry bourbon slushie I really liked. I would have ordered it but it was strong and I had already gotten the crush, so I'll just have to come back for it. The other slushie was a coffee one and I'm not a huge coffee person, but if you like coffee, you'd probably like that. Children are allowed here until 7 pm I believe. Unfortunately, they do not do tours (anymore). I'd like to see them bring this back because I'm always interested in the process and also hearing about how things are produced. You order food on one side (and can also order cocktails on that side too) but the beers and others are ordered on the brewery side. You're able to open a tab on either side though and it will be connect, so you don't have to do multiple transactions. Cool interior as well! read more

While in the Jessup area for work we stopped in here for lunch. What made me want to come here were all the amazing reviews and then looking at their site and the food solidified my decision to stop in. The first thing I noticed were the large meat drying cabinets to dry-age their beef... never seen, nor heard of a brewery with such a thing before! They also just put up a chicken sandwich for pickup, it wasn't mine, but I was impressed with how HUGE and delicious it looked! I ordered their Big A$$ Salad with a side of their Korean BBQ Chuck Short Rib. Also got their pretzel. All the food was really good! The pretzel was amazing, so were the dipping sauces it came with. That short rib was tender and very flavorful and that salad was so very big! Service was decent too. Definitely a much more elevated dining experience for a brewery!! read more

Came here the other day on a date and although I have driven by many times and heard of Jailbreak many times, this was my first time visiting. I love they also offered ACTUAL food which sometimes is a hit or miss at a brewery. This one, also offered all types of aged meats from beef to salmon. I was astonished as we looked through the display at the different cuts. Although, they didn't look very appetizing, I imagine they taste wonderful. Seeing the fish is really what made my day. I would love to come back so that I can take pictures and such to share with you all. I did try their wings which were good as well as their white peach sangria which was pretty tasty. read more

I visited Jailbreak for a surprise "party" and had the best time! The service, food and drinks were all amazing. My favorite thing so far is the shrimp nachos...def worth the price. I was a little surprised at how shareable the portions were. Wish I took pics! read more

The food is pretty standard for the type of place. Everything is average. However, you will not find a more arrogant owner manager. He doesn't address issues to make things better. He needs an education in customer service. We had a large group reservation where a portion of our group, mostly active duty military, got delayed at work due to mission requirements. We were late for having everyone present, and they pulled our needed second table. Shortly after losing our table, the rest of our party arrived and was cramped. Unless you know exactly how many people will come to your happy hour, and there are no thunderstorms or work issues delaying everyone's arrivals, go somewhere else. This was our go-to spot for groups, but we will not be returning. First, for bad service, and second because Jailbreak threatened to not take reservations from us unless we took down our negative reviews, rather than have a civil conversation on how to make things right. We will take the ban, but spread the word across our organization why we no longer use Jailbreak. ​ read more

The food was good if a bit pricey. Not a huge selection of offering for kids. I wish they would offer real silverware, hate the feel of plastic in my mouth. read more

I've tried their white truffle fries, steak + frites, wings, pizza, choc-chip ice cream sandwich, shrimp nachos, and their jailbreak burger sandwich (dry-aged). Their food is decent- cooked well, and balanced flavor wise. I especially enjoy their ice cream sandwiches and shrimp nachos. The one thing that everyone comes for (beer) is the one thing I don't drink so not much to say there, but for the alcohol I do drink, I'll say Jailbreak has an attentive, friendly bartending staff which I really appreciated. The space is clean, large and the customer service is great. Parking is easy but can seem a little tricky at first glance. Overall, I'd recommend! read more

I've literally been here plenty of times, and it's been great. I go to order food and Ian's attitude was 100% unnecessary! It was last call so he spoke up and said if you want to order, you need to order here now. I walked over and started ordering as quickly as I could, and he said, "i need a card before i can take your order" but not in a pleasant way. I said I'm sorry I thought you wanted me to order first. I asked him if he was okay, and in a sarcastic way, he said, "yeah." I let him know that he was being rude and continued to order. He completely ignored my comment and didn't say thank you at all. This left a bad taste in my mouth because I've never had an experience like this here... read more

Hey friends! I've been here a few times actually but this is my first time reviewing them. It's such a cozy spot with amazing food and service! I had the best burger of my life here, truly, it was that great lol. I also love the concept of the beer flight that they offer. Jailbreak offers an impressive selection of American comfort food. They offer a wide selection of quality spirits, some of their brews are even made in house! I felt like cheating on my pescatarian diet so I ordered the Jerk Chicken Cheesesteak($18). I enjoyed it, a fresh made jerk sauce would've made the sandwich perfect. The jerk sauce tasted either store brought or old. The meal came with Parmesan truffle fries. These were amazing, per usual. I love the perfectly golden finish on the friends. My boyfriend ordered the Jailbreak Burger and he truly enjoyed it! Service is consistently beyond amazing! One of the owners checked on us often. The interior is cozy and aesthetically pleasing. The cozy couches, arcade games, fresh meats on display, open view of the distillery and slightly open kitchen concept make this one of the best restaurants interiors I've ever seen. The festive decor for the holidays was the perfect added touch. The price point is on the pricier side. But the consistency in fresh ingredients and amazing service is worth it. Parking is free and ample. I hope you enjoy your Jailbreak experience as much as I always do. With love, The Picky Pescatarian read more

Everything was great. Carey was very helpful and friendly. Primary reason for going was to have the dry aged beef. Got a 50 day aged ribeye which was fantastic. I loved the flavor and what was surprise was how good the chocolate sauce was with the steak. Came with an onion salad and smashed fingerling potatoes. Both excellent with the potatoes having a slightly sweet flavor. The dry aged fish was also amazing. Rich and buttery. Also had cauliflower and a pesto flatbread. I hate to be redundant but both were excellent. Cauliflower had a Thai flavor. While the dry aged meat was very expensive it is worth it for a special treat. Plan on coming back for some of the less expensive food including the dry aged hamburger read more

WHO KNEW!! you would find a true foodie spot at a brewery? Went to Jailbreak with the husband & my LO on a Friday afternoon around 4pm, hoping to beat the Friday night crowd but WOW the place was PACKED. We took what seemed to be the last seat. The vibe was fun -- had a couple arcade games, a couple sofa seats, an indoor brewery vibe. We got an IPA and a stout, both were fine. Definitely one of the better local beers I've tried. What I want to truly rave about is their food & service. We ordered croquettes and steak & frites and both were PHENOMENAL. Chef at jailbreak cooks better than a handful of "famous" local restaurants I've tried. Everything is seasoned perfectly, and the ingredients they use is good quality. You can absolutely taste it. Food is on the pricier side, but worth every penny. I certainly want to come back to try everything on their menu!! Last but not least, what made our experience truly exceptional was the service. As I mentioned above, we brought our little one and didn't know what to expect. It was our first brewery outing with her. We sat ourselves at whatever bar seat was available, but a worker walked up to us and asked if we needed a high chair. We were so grateful and took the chair. After a little bit, another worker walked up to us and asked if we wanted a table that just became available so we can be "at the eye level with her". We were so touched and gladly took the offer. To really put cherry on the top, quite literally, the chef offered a gracious amount of fresh fruits for our LO, which kept her busy & happy. Overall, we were so impressed by how genuine and nice every single employee at Jailbreak was. This must be a testament to the culture management promotes. That combined with great food & beer? SIGN ME UP! We will be back again. THANK YOU JAILBREAK, for a truly amazing Friday evening for the whole fam. read more

Came here with my coworkers for game night, and Jailbreak Foodworks instantly became one of our favorite spots. The food was amazing, everything we ordered was packed with flavor, and the drinks were next level. I ordered the Special Lady Friend IPA, and it was fantastic: smooth, hazy, and perfectly balanced. Honestly, their beers are some of the best around. You can really taste the craft and care that goes into each one. The atmosphere was fun, laid-back, and full of great energy, and the staff were friendly and attentive the whole night. Can't wait to come back, highly recommend for anyone who loves great food, top-tier brews, and good vibes! read more

I was first introduced to Jailbreak as my son worked with the owner. I do like craft beer, not much on bottled or canned swill. We like Jailbreak's beer so much, we buy it now that they can it. Jailbreak has now added food which is a total plus! We have had the hot dog with dry aged chili and the fries, this time we had their wings with fries. The food is very good, wings are crispy and tasty. Love the fries with white truffle! These are splendid! Jailbreak is in a non descript industrial park....it's nice inside, but it is very casual. We enjoy having some fun food from time to time with a nice beer! read more

OKAY 10/10 MUST TRY food was so damn good (excuse my language) but the service was so welcoming and attentive yet patient. The location was just a great vibe filled with lots of people and conversations! I will definitely be making this a local spot.A HIDDEN GEM MUST SHARE. I started with the cauliflower curry with the bread. Along with a delicious juicy dry aged burger which was absolutely yummy and filled with flavor from the mayo & crispy onions included . The burger was utterly amazing and just melted in my mouth. I had a side order of the garlic friends along with half & half buffalo and Thai wings best of both worlds. The wings were crispy on the outside and juice on the inside! IT Keeps getting better they had a root beer float frozen infused with whiskey. I could keep bragging about what an amizing time, food, and place it was but YOU SHOULD just come visit for yourself. BUSSIN as the kids would say. Corey attended me at the bar and overall the entire staff was just soo great and welcoming. Thank you JailBreak Staff for the hospitality! read more

Run, don't walk to Jailbreak! Such a cool spot. It is in a business park so yes, your GPS is taking you to the right place. They were playing hip hop today and I was loving the vibes. Really friendly bartender. It's self seating and we sat at the bar. She offered samples, made a great margarita and checked on us throughout the meal. Ordering food can be a lil confusing. You place your food order at a different counter on the other side of the restaurant but if you have a bar tab, they will add it so you don't need to present your card twice. It's family friendly, spacious and the food is delicious. Be warned though, if the meal is labeled spicy, they mean it! read more

We love so many things about Jailbreak & have been coming here for years. Their food, service, and beer are all amazing. That being said, we were not thrilled when we were greeted at the door when we arrived for dinner w/our son & his gf a few months ago. We were informed that they couldn't be there past 7. It was already after 6 & we were looking forward to a nice meal. They are both 20 so this seemed a bit ridiculous. I understand not wanting young children running around patrons who are there to drink but not kicking out 2 adults who just want to eat. Maybe consider changing the rule to under 18? Anyway, I guess we'll go eat elsewhere because it's not worth rushing through dinner feeling anxious so we can be out of the restaurant by 7. It's a bummer. I don't see us returning anytime soon. read more

Great Atmosphere, Hit-or-Miss Bites Jailbreak FoodWorks has a cool vibe, but the food was a mixed bag. My wife and I went in with high hopes and left with a few hits and some misses. First up: the nachos. These things could feed a small army--seriously, four people could split them and still leave full. Tasty, flavorful, and mercifully not drowning in cheese, so the chips stayed crispy. That said, "Spicy" is in the name for a reason--if you can't handle heat, proceed with caution. Now, my fried chicken sandwich. A+ for presentation, A+ for crispiness, but a solid C for flavor. It looked amazing but tasted... underwhelming. Adding hot sauce helped, but why should I have to season my own sandwich? Also, using a chicken thigh instead of a breast was an unexpected twist--maybe some love it, but I prefer my sandwiches thigh-less. For dessert, my wife had the OG Ice Cream Sandwich. It was rock-solid (literally--it's pre-made and freezer-kept), which I actually liked. She, on the other hand, was expecting something softer. The cookies? Delicious. The ice cream? Meh. At $6, it didn't exactly scream "great value." Overall, FoodWorks has potential, but some dishes need a little more... jailbreak from mediocrity. Would I come back? Sure--but I'll be steering my taste buds a little differently next time. read more

Wow!! We loved this place. We actually aren't beer drinkers but came for the food haha. All of the food was delicious but the buffalo pimento dip blew me away. The fried saltines though??? So good. Service was 100/10. Someone met us at the door to ask if we'd been there before and explain how ordering worked. When they brought out my flatbread, they said it was mildly burnt so they would bring me another, and did (even though I said it was fine - they said it wasn't up to their standards.) Loved that I could get a cocktail and it's not just beer. Everyone was friendly and having a great time, there were games to play too. Great vibes. read more

Jailbreak Foodworks - Korean steak and fries - Brewpubs Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

A group of about 10 went to Jailbreak to grab some food and drinks. There was plenty of space, but the staff seemed a bit flustered and a little annoyed with troubleshooting how to combine tables for us. Eventually we were able to sit comfortably together. None of us had been to Jailbreak before, and weren't aware that we had to order at the counter (one side is for food, and one for drinks). Another customer saw us waiting at the table and came to let us know how ordering works and make some recommendations. The dishes ordered were jerk chicken cheesesteak, shrimp nachos, wings, pizza, and mushroom pasta. Everyone thought the food was ok. The jerk cheesesteak wasn't bad, just a bit dry. Some kind of sauce would be a great addition. The fries were 100% my favorite bite. There are a lot of beer options, but if you want a cocktail, options are limited. read more

Jailbreak is a super fun spot. It's big and lively, with plenty of seating. Staff was friendly. I appreciate the pinball options. Four stars because they were out of pretzels on a Saturday, which seems like a big oop for a brewery. Though they have more than beers, which I appreciate. I really enjoyed their crushes and the whiskey selection was nice. My boyfriend and I shared a flatbread, fries, and the taco spring rolls. All of which were good, but the spring rolls were particularly tasty. Had I noticed the charcuterie selection, especially the fish, I would have gone that route. Looking forward to returning to try those options. read more
