Even my 2 YO Grandson enjoyed his first ever cheeseburger! The tomatoes were from the Eastern shore and juicy thick...the lettuce was "clean and fresh" and the burgers were smashed to perfection (a little crispy on the edges). Cool weather(breezy), good music vibes and Smashup burgers= recipe for success!

This truck came to the Crofton Farmer's market for the first time in early July. I was excited to…read moretry their food because I've heard good things. This particular morning, they were offering a breakfast burger special: smash patty with bacon, egg, cheese, onions, jalapeños, and cilantro lime sauce. Their regular menu sells two different burgers: The Classic Double (lettuce, tomato, burger sauce) and The Retro Double (pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard). I opted for the retro double. The burger was good. It had a nice crust on the outside. There was enough ketchup and mustard on the burger to taste, but not so much that it's dripping off the sides when you bite into it. The fries were good. I wish they offered a bigger cup of them since they're almost $4. Burgers are $9.79, fries are $3.95, and drinks are $2.00. They also have merchandise like t-shirts, hats, and hoodies for sale. The employee that took my order was really friendly. I hope they make a return to the Crofton Farmer's market! I would definitely get burgers from them again.

I've been here several times, mostly during lunch, but I've also come in for dinner a couple of…read moretimes with my family. I've never had a long wait, either to order or for the food to come out, which is always appreciated. The staff has been consistently friendly, and the space itself is clean and well kept. High-top tables, good lighting, moderate noise level--everything feels in order whenever I'm there. Food-wise, Regional keeps things simple, and that's what I like about it. The Cubano sticks to the script and does it right. You really can't lose with it--good flavor, balanced, and just a solid sandwich overall. The smashburger is another no-frills win. Fresh beef, fresh ingredients, and everything complements each other without trying too hard. It's just done right. The cheesesteak isn't something I'd call a true Philly, but in a pinch it definitely holds you down. The meat is seasoned well, with onions, mushrooms, and cheese coming together for an enjoyable sandwich. I appreciate that Regional doesn't overcomplicate things. My only real critique was the roasted potato salad. I paid $3 for a cup, and while it tasted good, there was lettuce stuffed at the bottom to make it look fuller than it was. That rubbed me the wrong way, so I wouldn't order it again. Portion sizes overall are fair, prices feel reasonable, and I like that there's something for everyone on the menu. I've already been back multiple times and will continue to return. It's a good spot when you want to get away from all the fast-food options in the area.

It's large so she generally eats half at a time. Her leftovers are in the photo below. I had then Philly Mushroom today and I ate the entire thing! Yes, I overdid it Big Time! My side was the potato salad. It's actually red potato salad with the right amount of sweetness and not drowned in mayo! In fact it seems like a ground mustard aioli. I'm not sure but it's really good. They now have chicken wings with a variety of sauces to choose from. Of course I had to order smash burgers for my family at home. Do yourself a favor and try Region Ale if you haven't.

This might seriously be one of the best HIDDEN GEMS of Annapolis! I have been here a handful of…read moretimes and every time has been a great experience. This time I got a crabby burger, a burger with monteray-cheddar cheese and crab dip on it. It was stamped with the signature Chessie logo, which is a nice touch. I have gotten a lobster roll here before and it was divine but it is market price so I would highly recommend checking what the price is before ordering. While the food is good, the real star here is by far the drinks! The Deya Dirty Soda drink is probably the third best drink I have ever had in my entire LIFE and the others I've had were all hits as well!! For full transparency I also have some cons: 1. Parking is very limited. This may not be a big deal on weekdays but on weekends it can be rough during prime hours 2. Sometimes it can get packed, depending on the time of week/weather.

Walking around downtown Annapolis, we overheard some people outside the restaurant raving about how…read moregood the food was, especially the crispy kale, so we decided to give it a try. We were immediately greeted and taken care of, which was a great start! The crispy kale was HANDS DOWN one of the best kale dishes I've ever had!!! It was so good that I'd honestly come back just for that alone. I also ordered the crab bucatini, which was delicious! The pasta was perfectly al dente, and I loved all the different textures and flavors in the dish. I'll admit, looking at the menu, I initially thought this might be one of those overly hippie places that tries a little too hard, with a limited selection that doesn't necessarily look all that appetizing on paper. But wow, was I wrong! Don't let the menu fool you. This place is absolutely worth trying, and the crispy kale alone is reason enough to stop by! They also make their own soda! My one gripe is the "labor of love" tax. I'm not the biggest fan of these extra fees, especially when you're already paying for your meal and tipping. That said, the food was genuinely delicious, and I'd still recommend giving this place a try! Plenty of seating inside, outside, and at the bar!

The Heirloom Tomatoes were really good. The griddled cornbread served with them was moist, though I would have liked it a little sweeter. The Crab Bucatini was probably the standout--absolutely delicious, with the pasta cooked well. The Ribeye was also good and cooked exactly as requested, although I wasn't a big fan of the accompanying sauce. We finished with the Coconut Panna Cotta. We also tried the Calm for a Cure charity cocktails. They were good, but a little on the sweet side for my taste. The service couldn't have been better. Our server checked on us without hovering, kept our water glasses filled, and brought the food out quickly. She really helped make the evening enjoyable. The restaurant was attractive and clean, including the bathroom. It was relatively quiet, with just a little noise from the bar, and comfortable for conversation. Dinner was a little pricey, but I felt it was worth it. One thing to be aware of: our bill included a 4% "Labor of Love" service charge for employee benefits, separate from gratuity. Overall, a very good choice for date night in Annapolis.

The breakfast meal that another person got also was not up to par. Sadly, I want to take the chance of coming back again. The cook and the waiter should be told about this issue by owner not the manager and if the manager was actually there, he should brought up before the owner as well because you lost at least four customers.
