Drink was refreshing and did the job getting me to loosen up just before an event.

Not very juicy of as fresh as I would have wanted. Mark the bartender was great really working the crowd that slowly filled, telling jokes, refilling drinks and really making everyone feel at home. Looking forward to visiting again to try a bit more

Went to Black Flag Social House today for lunch with work friends. My first time visiting. We had a…read morechoice to sit outside or inside so we chose to sit outside. It was a nice day and the patio dining area was surrounded by trees. There were patio umbrellas so the sun didn't feel so hot. Delaney was our server and was very friendly and helpful. She helped me pick out a beer. Everything in the menu sounded so good so I chose the pepperoni pizza. I liked that it was thin crust but probably I should have ordered the margarita pizza instead. The pizza was greasy due to the pepperoni. I was so hungry and the pepperoni description sounded good on the menu. I liked the ambience and the food. There are more food and beer items on the menu that I would like to try so I will definitely be back for another visit.

We must have waited nearly 45min before anyone took our order, after waiting close to a half an hour at a dirty table before anyone came to bus/clean it. Our questions about whether we should order at the bar or not were met with annoyance and a dismissive attitude. Once we finally got food, the burgers and wings were enjoyed overall. As the vegetarian at the table, I was disappointed by the lack of options. I settled for the "Veg" board, which was fine but felt more like a "girl dinner" than anything else with an odd assortment of components. The absence of any cheese or other spreads beyond mustard and a jam on the board was also notable. Sadly, ever since the switch in head brewer, the quality of brews at Black Flag has continued to go downhill. The IPAs are missing the mark, while the rest of the tap list is consistently unremarkable. Unfortunately, not sure we'll be racing to come back.

Inside, the space is large and open with a great atmosphere, and there are plenty of larger tables that make it a good spot for groups. Our waitress was friendly, and the service was impressively quick. The standout was definitely the Gruyère mac and cheese. The portion was huge, making it easy to take leftovers home. We also tried the dirt cup for dessert, which was just okay and didn't quite live up to the rest of the meal. Overall, it's a great place with a fun vibe, good service, and delicious comfort food.

Now, If I were to rate this restaurant on their cream of crab soup alone, it would get 7 stars: one of the best crab soups I've head on either coast. But, I had never had any of their other foods until recently. I went here for lunch with my best friend. we both ordered salad (garden for her, Caesar for me) and a crab-ish food along with it. She, naturally, had the cream of crab soup (see above). I had the deviled eggs topped with crab. The eggs were pretty good. But, I will say, they were not the best crab adorned deviled eggs I've had. They were quite enjoyable, none the less. And the Caesar salad was great: the right proportions of crisp romaine, tangy dressing and crunchy croutons. Our server was very pleasant and kept the drinks filled: we were quite satisfied. The ambiance is very sports bar which is not my bag, but the sound wasn't blaring so it didn't interfere with my dining experience so it was a total neutral. I would definitely eat here again.

However, recently recently…read moreinstead of hitting Syriana (you can check my review), my best friend and I decided to hit up Manor Hill Tavern. A nice old building of stone and dark wood my friend and I perused the menu: very New American with lots of Maryland seafood classics. I ordered the crab cakes with fingerling potatoes and coleslaw. The crab cake, though small, was mostly lump crab meat with very little bread crumbs and served with a remoulade. Very moist and flavorful. The coleslaw was slightly bland, but I enjoyed it none the less. And the fingerling potatoes were cooked and salted to perfection. However they were lacking any real fat: no butter or oil. Now, it just so happened that my friend had purchased a bottle of Rosemary infused olive oil a mere half-hour ago. A drizzle of this turned these dry potatoes into something of a revelation, but I really shouldn't have had to doctor the meal I pay for with outside condiments to make it truly enjoyable. My friend enjoyed a hamburger with caramelized onions that was cooked precisely to her order and she enjoyed it a great deal. So, clearly, not all menu items needed as much help. The server taking care of us was very on top for job and kept our drinks filled and us happy. I really wanted to give this place a higher score, but there were too many little things off. I think with a few tweeks to some of the menu options this could be a really excellent restaurant. But currently, it's just "fine." For the price (think thirty dollars for a typical entree) I expected better.

Their fish and chips were okay. The fish wasn't as crispy as I expected. More on the softer side. However, the fish size was decent. Definitely worth giving this place a try if you are in the mood for food. Good also for social gatherings.

We have been seeing on Social Media for quite some time this place so we finally was able to go…read more They have sooo many options, when we first arrived here we grabbed a menu and sat off to the side just to take a moment and read everything. They have a late night menu and they are open until 1 am. We ended up getting two bowls one salmon and the other was grilled chicken. The grilled chicken was seasoned to perfection. It wasn't hot it was room temperature. What lost me was the sauces that go on top. I ordered all 3 so that I could see which one I liked. White sauce taste like yogurt .... Ahhh no thank you I wasn't expecting that. The red sauce is like a spicy ketchup but it just didn't do it for me. The green sauce was mild somewhat but not good enough for me to spread across my bowl. That's the one sauce that is close to my liking but it's not quite there yet. The salmon bowl we ordered the purple rice and it taste like regular rice just colored in my opinion. Corn was cold .The salmon wasn't hot when I dug my fork into it no steam or anything came out so I'm not sure how long it sat before we received it. Mind you we ate inside of the restaurant so there was no gapped time in between preparation and delivery. We did order french fries and I must say they were really good. Again not hot but room temperature. We did try the signature lemonades, rose and mango flavored. The mango flavored was delicious the rose was okay. I did have something floating inside of my lemonade that was green mind you I didn't order anything green ( lettuce or guacamole) but once I told the guy at the register he quickly corrected it and gave me a newer one. I went on a Sunday evening and it wasn't busy. I'm on the fence about this place I may go back but if I do I may just get chicken wings and the loaded fries. They are open late so you never know.
