    Blackened chicken with blue cheese
    Michelle C.

    I always get the same sandwich whenever I eat here. The blackened chicken with blue cheese and French fries on the side. I've had salad here as well but I prefer their sandwiches. Service is always prompt. Most of the time I've visited, the bar is full or there's a good amount of people sitting at tables. So it's a popular spot in Ardmore. Parking is limited to the street but they do have parking lots close by.

    Buffalo Wings
    Michelle W.

    Good food but strange service. The drink menu didn't have prices and when we asked the server, she wouldn't tell us any prices. We ordered drinks and food, and later asked for water which she never brought, we had to ask another server. The food was good but service vibe was weird.

    Black and Bleu Burger
    Jenna F.

    Food was good, we got the Nashville hot chicken wings and they were super crispy and got a good portion. The burgers were really good and large. The salad was alright nothing special about it but it was how it was described. The service was quick and friendly.

The crab cake was flavorful and well-made, the hollandaise was rich and on point, and the grits completely surprised me in the best way. They were incredibly flavorful with what tasted like a horseradish style sauce mixed in, which added a great kick. Easily some of the best grits I've had. I also tried the Scotch eggs that my friend ordered. I normally hate sausage, but these were shockingly good crispy, well-seasoned, and not overly heavy. The mimosa was exactly what it should be simple and refreshing. Champagne and orange juice never fails. Total bill came to $35.25, which is definitely on the pricier side, but this is Baltimore and pretty much in line with what I expected for quality brunch and drinks in this area. The vibe is classic Irish pub dark wood, Irish scarves and flags, and a really cool display of fire department patches on the walls. It felt authentic and cozy without trying too hard. Overall, great food, solid drinks, and a strong brunch option if you're in Fells Point. I'd absolutely come back.

We decided to stop at The Grog Grill which I had only been to once before in the 23 years I've lived in the area. I recalled that at that time, the Grog burger had been named best of the Main Line so I tried it and thought it was definitely not the best burger. The service was excellent, the pub environment was pub-like, we were seated at a high top at the back of the restaurant and next to a door to to the outside which made it very cold! I wore my heavy coat the entire meal. Cobb salad - 3/5, I think it's hard to mess up a cobb salad, but this was just okay. Tons of bacon bits and not a lot of salad greens, almost like a deconstructed salad which is weird for pub food. Mushroom flat bread - 3/5, just okay What redeemed our lunch was that when we asked for the check, our lovely server told us that the older gentleman at the bar had taken care of it along with the checks for several other patrons that day. That's never happened to me before! I will need to pay it forward...just maybe not at The Grog Grill.

Nice bar, and good selection for wines and beer. Parking is street parking mostly and they have couple of parking spots to the side of the restaurant. Genuine hospitality that welcomes you like they've known you forever. You are going to ask why you haven't been here many times before after you visit. Everything is of quality and fresh. The menu is concentrated offering a nice balance of traditional items and Irish dishes. The Potato and Leek Soup is made very well with such a clean smooth broth and plenty of potato and leek present in the soup. Try the Cajun Chicken and Sausage gumbo was a nice option offering Big pieces of Chicken and Andouille Sausage. Nice kick but not overwhelming. Clams or Mussels appetizers are on point and worth sharing with the table. The Corned Beef and Cabbage dish was amazing and definitely NOT bland! Lean Corned Beef and fresh hand cut veggies make this a must have! The NY Strip, is tender, cooked perfectly and recommend having the whiskey sauce over the top! For $38.95 it is a bargain! Highly recommended as it literally checks every box for me. Will definitely return!

Wings weren't the best but we enjoyed the pork chop Murphy, cod and strip steak with old school classic steak fries. Only slight ding was my draft Harp. I love Harp but it had a skunky after taste, most likely from unclean beer lines. Place itself is very cozy and cute but pretty small. Perfectly mellow live music was great and was delighted that no tv was on. Parking can be a bit tricky. Service was good and as noted, super friendly! QM isn't too close to my home but I hope to be back!
