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.

We visited for the first time last night, Friday June 12,2026 @ 8pm. Based on all of the great…read morereviews I thought we were in for a treat. We were sat pretty quickly & our waitress was great. But half way through she handed us over to the bartender, who just seemed inconvenienced that we were there. My husband had just finished a beer when she took over (which was in a can, not a tap beer), she asked if he wanted another, he said yes, and brought some draught beer that definitely wasn't what he was drinking. We are very easy going, so that wasn't even the end of the world. But she wasn't very friendly so we just went with it. The food. We ordered rockfish bites for an app, chicken pot pie, bacon wrapped shrimp & Mac & cheese. I will say, everything came out quickly. Rockfish bites: Not only were they bland & salt-less, but not all of them were cooked all the way through. The bacon-wrapped shrimp were ok, but cold in spots. The chicken pot pie: This is the reason I came. Certainly you can't mess this up, seeing how my favorite pot pie is from KFC. My standards aren't that high. I wish I could add a photo to a low review. I've never seen the inside of a pot pie that was dark gray. It didn't look appetizing at all, but it's a pot pie so I'm not basing anything on appearance. Once I took a bite I realized that it was gray because there was SO MUCH ground thyme in it. Like they dumped a whole jar in there. It wasn't even edible. The Mac & cheese was really good, I wish I had just ordered that. Before you reply that we should have said something, we already felt like we were an inconvenience to the bartender & she didn't even care enough to serve the same beer that was originally ordered. We didn't even want to deal with her. So we chalked it up as a loss. Of over $100. This place is so cute, we really loved the ambiance & wanted to love the food. We definitely won't be back, but I don't think it's going to be around much longer anyway.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Friends of ours said we should check out…read moreTuckers so wife and I stopped in the other day around 6pm. 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.

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.

The food was pretty good. They have a special on the wings on Wednesdays. The service was prompt and friendly. The bartender seated us right away. We actually arrived around noon time so we were the first ones there. I ordered the fried green tomatoes and the buffalo wings. Which came with celery and your choice of dressing. The food was average. Nothing to brag about but I would return to try the crab dip. I heard it was good and I am a fan of any cheese crab dip. I enjoyed my wings. The fried green tomatoes could have been cooked a little longer to suit my taste but it wasn't bad. Just a little hard to cut through with the knife. I'm interested in trying out their early evening. To see if they have any happy Hour specials. I loved the service that was received. So I would definitely return.

Mark, Shelby and CF always provide excellent service and are knowledgeable about all of the beers. Although they do not serve food, you can bring your own or order from Wingman which is a couple doors down. I highly recommend them too. Trash Panda and What You Want are two of my favorite beers but I always lean towards IPAs. They have a constantly changing menu. If you are not into beer they offer White Claws and a house red and white wine. They are dog friendly and have several events throughout the week to include Trivia on Tuesdays. It is definitely a chill environment that has games (board and video) that you can use. I highly recommend paying them a visit if you haven't yet!
