I just moved close to here, so I was excited to potentially find a new go-to spot. The…read moreserver/bartender was very kind and attentive, so I'd go back only for drinks. The food was not good. The burger buns were dry and cheap, and the patty was extremely bland. It probably was the worst burger I have ever had. The kitchen forgot to send my burger out with the onion ring that comes on it, so I had to wait to assemble it. There was barely any bacon on it. Fries were bland. The only redeemable thing was the cajun shrimp appetizer, which was actually quite delicious.

Nepenthe Brewing is a great place for vegans and non drinkers. Seem weird for a brewing company?…read moreMaybe, but they make it work well and that is why I'm a fan. Nepenthe Brewing has a rotating menu of inspired vegan dishes. This isn't your typical burger and fry brewery. We've visited for date nights, during vegan week, with kids and without. Each time, Nepenthe has not disappointed. Some of the dishes my family and I have enjoyed here are the Killer Tofu (top notch), Crispy Mushroom Banh Mi, Berry Smashed Mocktail, Lemon-Blueberry Cake and, for the kids, the fries with vegan pub dipping sauce. As long as Nepenthe keeps putting forth unique vegan food and mocktails, my family and I will keep it a part of our rotation.

Lots of wooden artwork that is a celebration of Maryland like wooden carved out images of the Ravens and Orioles logos. Very cool. Music was nice!

Only reason for 4 stars.

Old Major is a delightful place I've been going to since shortly after they opened in 2018. It is a…read morewell renovated bar/restaurant in my neighborhood and I've quite enjoyed walking there recently. Initially, I was a big wine drinker and found this place had a great selection of reds, whites, and pinks. The past few years however, I've been super into craft beer and was pleasantly surprised by the offerings on tap AND some really good stuff housed in those little under bar fridges! My last 2 visits I ordered food, the spicy baingan which is ABSOLUTELY delicious! I looked up the recipe online and it seems like a lot of work so Old Major has a customer for life just for that dish, lol! Otherwise, I'm really a fan of the bar owner, Candice. Just about every time I've visited, she's there and not only provides excellent customer service, but is a very cool chick and I like talking to her about...well, everything! Old Major ticks all my boxes for convenience, quality, and customer service. Of course I'll visit again!

I'm leaving this review after making multiple attempts to address this matter privately and…read morereceiving no response. My husband and I visited Jilly's Bar & Grill in Pikesville on February 27, 2026. This was our second visit. We ordered several items, including stuffed shrimp, a Greek salad, and wings. There was an issue with the stuffed shrimp. The only stuffed shrimp listed on the menu is tempura stuffed shrimp, yet we were served broiled stuffed shrimp. When I calmly brought this to our server's attention, she acknowledged it was a mistake and suggested placing a new order, even though the kitchen was already closed. I did not ask for the food to be remade and only intended to point out the inconsistency. Shortly after, a woman who had been seated nearby approached me and asked about my order. She later identified herself as Chrissy, the General Manager. During the conversation, she stated, "We always try to correct customers." I explained that I believed the issue was with the menu, not the customer. I felt the interaction was handled in a way that was dismissive and uncomfortable, especially as it took place in front of others. The food quality also did not meet my expectations. The $16 Greek salad appeared to have lettuce and olives that were not fresh to me, and the wings were dry. We left most of the food uneaten. Despite this experience, we paid our bill in full and tipped 22%, bringing our total to $160.51. I also want to share how the situation felt from my perspective. My husband and I were the only young Black couple seated among a group that appeared to include staff or management. The tone of the interaction left me feeling dismissed and disrespected. That is my personal experience. After our visit, I sent a detailed email on March 2, 2026, and a follow-up on March 9, 2026. I did not receive any response or acknowledgment. I believe most businesses deserve the opportunity to address concerns directly, which is why I reached out first. The lack of response ultimately led me to leave this review. I have not returned since and hope ownership reviews both the service experience and management approach at this location.

We stopped by Mick O'Shea for a quick beverage or two before heading to our intended event…read more Overall, I thought Mick O'Shea was a wonderful bar and restaurant. Looking back, we probably should have had our brunch meal at Mick's instead of the other place where we ate. Why? While walking to the boy's room, the aroma from the food (I think Fish & Chips) was absolutely amazing. Hopefully, the delicious smell of the food matches the taste. Our bartender (the Black gentleman) was great because he was very friendly and seemed to have a great rapport with pretty much everyone in the bar. Although I would not go out of my way to visit Mick O'Shea's (as a visitor in Baltimore), I would not mind visiting again if I were in the immediate area.

Well folks, I have enjoyed this place since we held our wedding reception there, 22 years ago! (It…read morewas still known as Sander's Corner back then.) We moved to AZ 7 years ago and quickly learned that there is no such thing as a good crabcake outside of Maryland. A few years after our wedding, the restaurant changed hands and became McFaul's Ironhorse Tavern. Initially, we were a bit concerned but that concern proved to be unfounded! With every trip back to MD, we always tried to stop into McFauls for - yup, a Maryland Crabcake (broiled), an ear or two of MD sweet corn and a cold Natty Boh! (My Dad used to work for National Brewing Co., so the beer choice was nostalgic, but honest! There is NO Natty Boh west of the Mississippi!) Anyway, nostalgia played a role in our choice of dining at McFaul's - but only ever so slightly! Until last night! We arrived at 5:30pm and had our choice of seating. It was a bit too warm to dine outside, so we chose a table for four near the fireplace. Two other tables were being served and the entire restaurant had not hit it's peak customer load! I settled in for my latest crabcake dinner. I chose the single crab cake with two sides. (Dinner: $35.00) but I am getting ahead of myself. Service was slow, waters only came right out and then the wait began. 10 minutes later, our server arrived to take our drink order. Of course, I ordered a can of Natty Boh. I also asked for a glass for my beer. 8 minutes later, the beer arrived (no glass.) Other drinks wandered in, but still no glass for the beer. I drank my water (which was also served in a beer-type glass) and waited. Our server returned to take our dinner order (still no glass!) Orders now placed and my can of Boh still needing a glass, I finished my water and poured (properly, of course) my Natty Boh into my empty, but still cold water glass. I enjoyed the first sip! Ahhhhh! Table talk proceeded and I started to dream of my cake! (BTW - no choice of broiled or fried!) Our server returned with a menu adjustment for one of our guests - kitchen was out of something. Oh yeah, my frosted glass finally arrived. (Too late!) Here's the sad part... our dinners were just so so. My small crabcake was surronded by about 25 fries and a mini Caeser's Salad. I had asked for two cups of cocktail sauce - I received one cocktail sauce and one tarter sauce. I have seen bigger crabcakes in the frozen food section of Giant Food. I was even served a cake twice as large at Camden Yards - of all places - for $28.00! One of our guests that ordered Fish & Chips received a full plate Caeser's Salad and about 50-60 fries (for way less money!) Here's my rap... I was not even mildly impressed by our food, service or ambiance! My, how the mighty have fallen. I will now remove McFaul's (with great sadness) from my "Must Visit When in MD" list! Reasons are as above, but for those that don't like to read all the dastardly details - Mediocre Food, Slow Unattentive Service, and A Tavern Ambiance that sorely needs a refresh! Sorry Folks, but Baltimore has WAY better to offer! SMH!

I've been wanting to go here for a while since it's got a predominantly rum based cocktail list…read more But what caught me off guard was that roasted beet and goat cheese. It's a must have, and honestly brightened my day. The crunch from the pistachios, good olive oil, and golden beets? Hell yeah. Sat at the bar since I walked in onna whim, asked for a recommendation and ended up with a tiki drink that I didn't realize was maize liquor. (I hate maize/corn liquor) and I did my best to power through it. It honestly wasn't a bad mix, I actually enjoyed the other flavors and the garnish baby corn, but I think the bartender could tell it wasn't my speed and set me up with a beer and made my night. The beer selection here is pretty good, with a lotta local varieties. What cracked me up was the lady next to me cracking back a few lemonade natty lights. Cute date spot, but if you're looking for a nice lil cocktail at the end of the night, this is a great spot. If you're a group of 2 or more and you want a table, make a reservation. This place gets packed!

The drinks... oh, the drinks are so good. Mai tai Mondays are awesome. Once in a while, they do a rum education series, so they do want to educate their patrons about the various rums that they have available. The place is kinda small at first glance, but there is more seating upstairs. Sometimes, you have to wait to be seated. If it is slower, then you can pick wherever you want to sit. The staff is very attentive and friendly. I don't think I have had one bad encounter.
