I waited sooooo long to try this out. I was disappointed for almost $90 I couldn't even finish my…read morefood and ended up giving it away. It was bland and undercooked. If you look at the picture you can see barely any seasoning. The mac n cheese was not baked it was the consistency of velveta, the cabbage all you could taste was orange peppers and that's the worst pepper out of every pepper. Nothing on my plate was good. It's like the stove turned off mid cook. I grew up eating southern food down in charleston every summer and this just was not it. Mac and cheese needs to be baked. Seafood needs to be seasoned and cooked thoroughly. Cabbage needs to taste like cabbage and be tender.

The beef was incredibly tender, juicy, and far surpassed what I've had at Canopy Pit Beef in Ellicott City. It's a no-frills setup: cash only, picnic tables only, and no indoor seating, but the quick, friendly service more than makes up for it. I just wish they were closer... though maybe it's better that they're not. Highly recommend.

We have always passed Pioneer Pit Beef during our many travels on Rolling Rd. over the years and…read moredecided to stop by to see if this pit beef was worth the stop. We arrived shortly before closing. Upon entering, the place is really small and the ambiance was filled with a smokey scent and can be a bit claustrophobic when filled to capacity. There is off street parking available on the lot behind the store. There were tables and benches in front of the store to sit and eat your food. NOTE: THIS IS A CASH ONLY BUSINESS. We were greeted by a pleasant man and placed our order behind clear plexiglass: a "super" (extra meat) pit beef, a pit turkey, and an order of fries. They also had pit ham, gravy and you could get the sandwich as a sub. We watched as they prepared the order through the plexiglass, cutting the meat on deli cutting machines and weighing each meat order. We asked if the fries were hot and were told they were "always" hot as we watched them take fries they were previously fried and "double fry" them for crispiness. They had a list of sauces available to add on the sandwich or on the side. We got the "tiger" sauce (horseradish and mayo) and bbq sauces on the side. Our order was ready in no time and the sandwiches: the pit beef sandwich was piled high with thin slices of well cooked although a bit dry (don't know if it was because it was the end of the day and we arrived close to closing), pit beef with a great smokey flavor. I added the bbq sauce (which was sweet and a bit vinegary, which I liked) on the meat and it added the perfect sweet balance to the savory smokiness of the meat. We wanted to try the tiger sauce (combo of mayo and horseradish) but were afraid as it seemed like this sauce was sitting out on the counter and with the mayo, we didn't want an upset stomach. The bun was fresh and I really enjoyed this sandwich. The pit turkey had thin slices (this meat seemed to be similar to the turkey you can get from the deli) on a fresh roll. The meat was not dry and this sandwich was good as well. The fries were best eaten as soon as we got them and they were hot, crispy, and fresh. All in all, we enjoyed our food and would come back again to grab a couple of sandwiches and try the gravy option.

This is a familiar place that updates the look and menu now and then, yet still feels like home. We often get a beet salad when it's available. Matthew's is scrumptious, with tender sweet juicy roasted beets, tasty grilled chicken, red onion slices and fresh spinach, tangy crumbled bleu cheese, and delightful candied walnuts, complimented by tart raspberry vinaigrette. By the way, it's gluten-free. We loved the rich cream of crab soup du jour, full of crab lumps and full of flavor, with a little spice from good old Old Bay. Delicious and dreamy. Their quesadillas were served a la carte as an appetizer, loaded with savory roasted chicken, heavy with a mild cheese and a lightly spicy flavorful thick red sauce, rolled in tender lightly seared flour tortillas. Generous and satisfying. Matthew's building dates from around 1862 as a station and hotel at the end of a horse-car line, before electricity! It's been through around 5 names over the years, and has been the Parsons family's Matthew's 1600 since 2004. We've felt comfortable and welcomed here for decades. It has plenty of free parking in their own lot. By the way, many of their already reasonable prices are discounted a little if you pay cash. That's a endearing way of keeping it real in Catonsville, only charging when it costs them.

I for sure thought because of the business, the food had to be good! And it was!! I got the egg roll sampler and loved it. The pasta was recommended and I was not disappointed. The salmon Victoria was supposed to come with a chèvre cheese on it but it was forgotten. We were able to flag down our waiter and inform him of the error and he went to the kitchen to get some on the side. It wasn't on it as it was intended but it was still good. I would come back--especially for the eggroll sampler.

Southern Blues in Parkville, MD - Food Review…read more Potato Salad: The potato salad here is really good -- the potatoes are nice and soft, making it easy to dig in. I loved the touch of relish mixed in; it added a nice tang that balanced out the flavors. It's well seasoned and just overall really tasty. I'd give it an 8 out of 10. Baked Chicken with Gravy: The baked chicken was super tender and seasoned perfectly -- you could tell it was cooked with care. The gravy was savory and rich, adding a nice boost of flavor. The yellow rice on the side was flavorful and complemented the dish well. Overall, I'd rate this one a 7.5 out of 10 -- definitely a satisfying plate. Mac and Cheese: The mac and cheese was cheesy and creamy, with a good seasoning that made it pretty enjoyable. It's a classic comfort food, but compared to the other dishes, it felt a bit simpler. I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10 -- still good, just not as standout as the others.
