Verified Untappd venue (iykyk), with what seems like endless taps and an even more impressive selection of cans/bottles. Bartenders are pretty damn knowledgeable about the product as well, which as a beer nerd is perfect. The food is fantastic. From appetizers (the fried vegetables are heaven) to entrees, it's the perfect amalgamation of classic bar food and Indian cuisine. Today when I was in I had the Taphouse (Lamb) Burger with fries and a side of their Makhani sauce (Pic attached). If a place has a lamb burger it's my immediate go to every time, and I have to say Taphouse has the best I've ever had. The lamb was cooked and seasoned perfectly, the vegetables were fresh, and that feta is that perfect accompaniment to round it off. The Makhani sauce is just good on everything. Could drink it. Not kidding. The venue offers a welcoming outdoor area and a semi-private indoor space perfect for events. I've booked Taphouse for both corporate and personal gatherings, and it's the easiest, most reliable spot in the County for hosting by far. Beyond the food and drink, Taphouse, and especially Sunny (the owner) are one of the most community engaged businesses in Southern Maryland. They have put on countless events supporting all types of local organizations, and always work with nonprofits when they need anything. Taphouse and Sunny himself really serve as one of the best ambassadors of St. Mary's County, especially since a large portion of the customers are transient. All in all, 100% a must try if in the area. But be warned, if you do, you will be coming back constantly.

We were visiting family up in Southern MD and they brought us to Leonardtown for some sightseeing…read more They suggested going to The Rex for an early dinner since it was NYE. We got there pretty early, so it wasn't super crowded yet. We were quickly seated, considering we were a party of 8. Our waiter seemed pretty busy with the tables he already had, but he did a good job of keeping up and getting us what we needed. Our table ordered a variety of things, the typical bar food like fried mozzarella sticks, chicken wings, grilled cheese, burgers and fries etc. You'll have to refer to their review for their thoughts. I will say though, I didn't hear any complaints from them. My BIL seemed to enjoy his birria tacos and my nephew said it was the best grilled cheese he's ever had! So make that of it what you will. I, on the other hand, always like to order THAT different item. I'm that person. I also haven't really eaten hand held items or things I need to bite into in awhile, due to my braces, so I chose to have the shrimp etouffee. Probably not the best choice. It wasn't bad, but I just found it to be bland, unless that is how it is supposed to be? Maybe it's the nature of the dish itself? I'll have to do some more research on it and try it again in restaurant that specializes in that type of cuisine. The positive thing was that it was a generous portion. I just feel like all it was, was shrimps with a lot of onion and peppers, pan fried in butter and a small amount of spices. The rice definitely needed some more cooking. The next day, I repurposed it. I should have made an IG reel LOL. I felt like I was doing one of those cooking challenges. You know the kind when someone brings takeout to a chef and asks them to make it into an entirely new dish? I reheated it, added more spices and added an egg! Perfect breakfast haha. Overall, everyone at the table seemed satisfied with their meals. I think I just didn't order the right thing. The side we were on was more of a bar set up, so not the best for kids, but the menu was pretty kid-friendly. They have a great patio area outside with firepits in the middle. It was raining that day and plus it's winter and too cold for me, but I can see it being a nice option for the Spring and Fall months. They also had another lounge type place that connected from the inside, so we took a peak. It was super cute in there with artwork and "The Rex" neon sign. It was super quiet in there, and maybe it was just the time, but seems like a fun place to hang and get some drinks. Give it a try when you're in Leonardtown! Stay safe, Friends!

We visited after about 6 months away and we not impressed by the appearance of the wait staff nor the hostess, who was wearing very short gym shorts at the front greeting station. She appeared very unflattering and sloppy. She directed us to our table and returned a few minutes later with silverware wrapped in a cloth napkin and simply dropped them on the table without a word and left. Very unprofessional. We had five guests and three of the five were unsatisfied with their meals for a variety of reasons. One was delivered French fries when she asked for mashed potatoes, One was provided an overcooked hamburger and my meatloaf was completely covered with mash potatoes. Speaking of the potatoes, it was clear that the wrong potatoes were used as they tasted horrible. No one ate them. Finally...servers in the bar were unprepared at 530pm, putting away silverware, folding napkins all on the bar counter where we wanted to sit and have a drink while we waited for our guests. Must do better to represent Leonardtown in the best light or this will be another restaurant gone, like so many others.

Unfortunately, they have many opportunities to apologize, make amends, offer extra food as compensation, etc., as many of their drink and food menu offerings are shockingly inadequate. Wine lovers, consider pre-gaming before attempting to sip the offerings from the Pub. Beer lovers are in luck, as there are often a few decent (seasonal) options. Food lovers, you also should consider pre-gaming (i.e., eating enough to sate your hunger, drinking enough to dull your sense of taste) before eating anything at the Pub. The portions are small and the quality is... moderate at best. I recently ordered a "hummus plate" expecting a large dollop of hummus surrounded by a variety of veggies and pita bread. I got a LOT of celery and cucumbers, some carrots, and about a half-pita's worth of pita triangles all accompanied by a container of hummus so small that a child could fit the entire thing in his mouth. Maybe I'm spoiled by those hummus containers you can buy at the store for less than $5, but if I'm paying $5.50 for a hummus platter, I'd like at least enough hummus to get some on each item in the platter. The wings were surprisingly acceptable, if a tad small.
