Disclaimer (because I know this is important for a lot of people) - the two gentlemen working were not properly wearing masks (both wearing below the chin). My order was not ready when I arrived, so I waited inside since the place was empty. *When* gloves were worn it was only on one hand and there were numerous times when no gloves were worn. Hand sanitizer is available and there is a plexiglass shield at the counter. The floor is well marked with 6ft social distancing stickers. I do not recall seeing any signage that states masks are required and I'm not sure if they are allowing dine-in. Not sure how they would do that because the restaurant is on the smaller side. Portion sizes are on point and everything traveled well, about a 20-25 minute drive. The shrimp were larger than expected, so that was a pleasant surprise.

It was a little disappointing when they didn't have the crab dip but the pretzel and beer cheese were great. Nice fry on the other apps. Totally would order all three again. We also chose a pit beef 8 oz., red eye brisket sandwich, and a cheese burger for kids. The burger was huge. Big portion for a kid but the flavor was good my daughter and wife both enjoyed it. The pit beef was medium rare and a really nice preparation. You could taste the smoke but it wasn't too much. I would 100% order it again. The brisket sandwich was ok. I thought the brisket was good but there was a little too much with the cheese. It didn't let the brisket be the star. I love brisket but next time I'd consider it on the platter instead of the sandwich. The accompanying fries were fresh cut and perfect. We ate them all and the portions were really good and the prices were very fair. We will go back to try a few other things. The server was young but very nice. We sat outside on a perfect day.

However, this place was great for me. I asked what was smoked that day and was told brisket is fresh every day and pulled chicken and ribs had just come off, so that's what I ordered. Let's break this down! The brisket was juicy with a nice dry dark bark crust. The meat was incredibly tender, breaking apart on my fork. A little fatty that didn't render but that's part of brisket. The rub really set off the flavor of the meat and I did not add any sauce to it, it simply wasn't needed. The chicken was my favorite meat. Served with no sauce, it was evident it was sitting in its own juices and that kept it moist. With chicken being so easy to dry out, this was great. The meat had great flavor and was oh so tender and juicy. I did try out some of their sauces with this and decided the smoky bbq spoke to me. My only negative of this joint came from the ribs. As I take my first bite, I have to pull something tough and get slapped in the chin by it. Say it isn't so! You leave the membrane on? Why oh why would you do that, nobody wants to eat membrane! Such a disappointment as the ribs were cooked well and the meat was tasty, although definitely the driest of the three I tried. For sides I had the street corn and the potato salad. I loved the salad, tons of flavor. The street corn was a miss for me as I did like the corn itself but when I'd grab a feta crumble in with it I did not enjoy the combination. The waitress brought me some greens to try as she could tell I didn't dig the corn and I ended up loving them. When you can pack that much flavor into greens it's a winner in my book. Speaking of the waitress, she's the reason this is five star for me. I was going with four star because of the membrane on the ribs however she is great and deserves a shout out. So kind from the moment I walked in, checking on me, making sure I enjoyed everything, and wanting to make it right if I didn't. She seemed to care so much about the business I thought she was an owner, turns out she's just proud of the place that she works at. Kudos miss, I'm sorry I didn't catch your name but you said you were the only server so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out who I'm talking about. Thank you for such a pleasant meal and experience, I'll be back for sure!

We went for lunch and it was not very busy so that was nice. We asked if we could eat outside and we were able to nab a seat there. We were seated a high table which was cool because we had a clear view of the street but was able to maintain staying in our little food bubble. When it came to order, we ended up ordering the Loaded Nachos for an appetizer and I ordered the Chicken Chesapeake with a baked potato and onion rings. I did order a drink but for the life of me, I can't remember which one. Please blame my foodie mind! (Haha!) The Loaded Nachos were good filled with white cheddar cheese sauce, tomato, jalapeno, black beans salsa, sour cream and chicken. It was good and the chicken was nicely seasoned and succulent. It was not chewy which is sometimes how chicken or any meat can be especially, when added to an appetizer like nachos. Unfortunately, I think that my biggest disappointment of this lunch was the Chicken Chesapeake. It came with a chicken breast, a 5 oz jumbo lump crab cake and mornay sauce. The chicken breast was just okay, it tasted bland as I think that maybe a little bit of salt and pepper could have helped. The jumbo lump crab cake was....okay, it was topped with the mornay sauce that was very tasty but the crab cake itself just fell apart. I didn't feel as though there was any structure to it and that with the amount of sauce on the crab cake and then the crab cake being too tender that it just falls apart...it wasn't a good mix. It felt like the crab cake was swimming in the sauce at the end, unfortunately. The mornay sauce tasted great with the mixture of cheeses so I really appreciated that. Besides the mornay sauce, the onion rings were another big favorite of mine. They were perfectly seasoned and crispy. I really liked the batter on the onion rings as I think it was executed perfectly and they helped to save the rest of the dish. Altogether, I'd enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. While one dish was lacking, the appetizer and my drink weren't. The prices were alright, a little steep but nothing I couldn't handle. The customer service was also really good as our waiter was kind and helped us with whatever we needed. If I'm ever back in the area, I would definitely come back again to try other things off the menu.

The location is in a business district attached to other shops, and when we visited it was pretty quiet just a handful of other people inside. The space itself is much larger than it looks from the outside. We sat at the bar, which was comfortable and easy. We ordered drinks, shared a crab pretzel, and each had a Caesar salad. My margarita was very tequila-forward not subtle, but honestly fine if you like tequila (I do). The crab pretzel was good, though the crab dip could've used more Old Bay to really bring it home. That said, the Caesar salad was the standout absolutely delicious and easily the best thing we ordered. Pricing felt fair. My bill was $55.01 for two side Caesar salads, a shared crab pretzel, and two drinks. For two people, that's pretty average and reasonable for the area. Everything we had was good and the experience was pleasant overall.

The last visit we sat for 25 minutes and no one came to our table for a drink order or to even acknowledge us. The wait staff were to busy talking to each other. Finally, my husband had enough, saw Christian at the host station cutting out what looked like bingo cards and told him we were leaving and he needed to check on the staff as we were not even approached at all. Christian said, "Ok. Sorry about that." We left. We went elsewhere after this discouragement until tonight we decided to give it one last shot. We were seated, acknowledged with a drink order. 10-15 minutes went by, no drinks. No sign of Amos, our waiter. I feel it is important to say that we are very patient people and the restaurant was not busy at all. No one was in the dining room. He finally brought our drinks and said there was an issue he had to deal with. We asked him if everything was OK and he said yes. He took our food order, and the food came out appropriately and tasted delicious. Then we waited and waited, and waited for another beer. He came back again and asked us if we wanted boxes. We waited and waited. By this time we were frustrated. We saw him bringing drinks to another table and walking toward us, stopping to ask if we needed anything. We said, "Did you forget about us?" He replied, "No. I was letting you eat a little more." my husband was irritated and said, "Boxes and the check too! This is ridiculous." The bar tender called over to us to ask politely if we wanted a bag for our boxes and told us to have a good evening. We are truly disappointed. The food and drinks are good, but the service continues to be less than par and this is big for us. We unfortunately will not be back. Sad, because this started off being such a great place when the new owner took over, but it is quickly failing at service.

You see, back in 17th century England, private houses would open their homes to the public and sell food and beer. Hence, public house. Over time, they dropped the "lic house" and just called them pubs. Because you never dropped the "lic house" makes me think that you haven't evolved like you should have. And frankly, your food is proof. In fact, it even made me nostalgic. But not in the way you might think. You see, I loved making fun food concoctions when I was a kid. My sister and I would watch this corny show called "Zoom" on Maryland public television, where the kid hosts would make recipes sent in from all over the country. We'd make homemade peanut butter cups using Jif and semisweet chocolate chips. Or weird sandwich combinations like pickles and potato chips and cheese and jelly. The seafood egg rolls weren't the worst part of my meal, but they were definitely sophomoric--as if a kid chef-in-training was asked to whip something up from Chinese food leftovers. Seafood should never taste fishy, yet these did. One bite hit me like something that had been sitting a little too long above the waterline. Not to mention, they were laying on a greasy glob of some mayonnaise accompaniment disguised as a fancy garnish you'd see on MasterChef. One word: Ick. The ahi tacos. Oh boy. My mind fills with seawater the moment I think of them because they tasted as if they had been fished right out of the ocean and then placed on my plate. They were wet. Soaked. Drenched. The gelatinous seaweed clump on each taco wasn't culinary-forward, just unappetizing. I took one bite and wished I could spit it back out, but I reluctantly swallowed it. My esophagus is now aquaphobic thanks to you. The moment the coconut jasmine rice hit my mouth, my tastebuds took the red eye to the coconut tree haven of the Maldives. Normally, this wouldn't be a bad thing, but the rice and coconut had no cohesion. It tasted like my younger self dumping a handful of shredded coconut--the sweetened kind my mom kept in the pantry for the wool on her Easter-shaped lamb cake--into a cup of microwaveable rice. The only redeeming aspect of our meal was your kind, charismatic waiter. He was lovely in every way--attentive, sweet, and helpful. He would have been an incredible host on "Zoom." If only his personality made the food taste better. For your sake, I hope you learn to evolve your kitchen's offerings beyond the amateurish trio I experienced. If not, your restaurant's bones may end up fossilized alongside every other place that couldn't adapt.
