Kid Ribs and vegetables
Sarah M.

My family decided we were in the mood for a bbq lunch today and we went to check out Red Hot & Blue having heard great things about it from friends. We ordered our kids meals first, so they would come out first (pro tip!) and they ordered the kids portions of the ribs and chicken wings with broccoli and carrots as their sides. We also ordered them some fries for good measure. I ordered the burnt tips meal with the sweet potato casserole and tater tots as my sides. My meal was so tasty and filling! I can't recommend it enough. It also came with corn bread, which was scrumptious. I was so engulfed in my meal I forgot to get a pic of my husband's lunch. I'll add that and update this soon! The service was really great as well. Our server was attentive and responsive. She also had a sense of humor and knew how to deal with kids. :) We had a great experience, everyone ate their meals, and left full. We look forward to returning!

Very enjoyable place to eat. Gumbalaya was amazing!! Key lime pie was good. Had a great variety of sauces to add to the ribs. Would def be a come back to spot.

Just at the Western end of the Bay Bridge sits a place with a windmill and a pig statue on their roof. We have passed by here alot on our way from Baltimore. Always wanted to see what it was, well today was the day! We were not disappointed! We ordered the carry out and sat outside on this most beautiful late summer day with the Gurlz. This is real smoked BBQ and it was absolutely delicious! The half slab(really a half) of ST. Louis meaty ribs fell off the bone and had a nice hard glaze of Bourbon & Molasses. Sticky sweetness. This came with two sides and I added corn bread. Their onion basket side was really good and all were generous portions. And of course we had the gallon of Southern Sweet Tea(came home with us). Definitely a new fave when in the area. If you ever drive by here -STOP and try it!

The Whole Smoker

Eight of us stopped by Red Hot & Blue for dinner last Saturday. We were able to order pretty quickly and the food came out super fast. The service was friendly and helpful. THE WHOLE SMOKER - 22.99 This comes with five smoked meats on a huge plate including two sides and cornbread. My favorite meat was definitely the pulled pork which was flavorful, tender, and a bit of fattiness that melts in your mouth. The sausage was pretty good, too, as it was fat and juicy. The Texas brisket had a lot of potential, but ours was pretty dry. I was not a fan of the pulled chicken or turkey breast. If I ever come back, I'll avoid ordering those options. The cornbread was very good, a bit nutty and fluffy at the same time. The two sides we got were the mac & cheese (satisfied my cravings and very creamy) and the potato salad (lots of flavors everywhere, not my favorite, but I can see why people enjoy it). I shared this platter with two others and somehow we were satisfyingly full after this plus an additional side. SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE - 3.50 This was the additional side that my two friends and I shared. The sweet potato casserole here is so good. It's so simple with the perfect texture and sweetness. Very addictive, we'd highly recommend this one! The sweet potato casserole and cornbread were well-loved by our group, so a couple people got more to-go to enjoy at home. Overall, the sides were great and better than the meats (which were a hit or miss).

Really great bbq spot right before the bridge with a great theme, and great music! Came here for lunch, their lunch menu is great and is plenty of food. My father and I both got the Smokehouse salad with blue cheese and YUM. I really wanted to try the brisket and chicken, and this was certainly a great execution of both. The BBQ sauces at the table was very tasty and mixed well with the veggies and dressing. Our server was really great, made sure we had plenty of refills on the big diet cokes. Would come back again and try more of the menu. Great spot!

We started off with biscuits for the table- they were very warm and not too dry- served with a spicy jam & some honey butter. They were sooooo delicious. My main meal was the smoked fried chicken, it is A LOT of chicken lol I got the spicy dry rub on the side to try and it was really good- would recommend trying it if you like a little kick with your chicken. For sides I got the Brussel sprouts which have bacon, goat cheese and some type of nut in them. They were really good and flavorful. I also had the hush puppies which are served with the same butter that came with the biscuits. They were nice and crisp but not over cooked. I recommend both sides. My family seemed to enjoy their dishes as well. My friend had the burger with pork belly on it, my father had the Cajun seafood pasta & my mother had the blackberry thighs. Overall everything tasted great. We got dessert to go, I had bread pudding which I later ate- and it was phenomenal. The sauce they serve with it really brings it together nicely. Definitely heat it up prior to eating if you have it to go. Overall was a good experience and I'm glad we ended up eating here. Would recommend

02/20/26 5 Stars **…read more Wife and I were in Annapolis for a doctor's appointment, and afterwards she asked, "Where are you taking me for lunch?" I jumped on Yelp and started searching. I had heard about a seafood place in Severna Park, but I wasn't in the mood for seafood. That's when I came across Betty Lou's. As soon as I looked at the food photos, I knew that's where we were headed. It was about a 20 minute ride from Annapolis not bad at all. Betty Lou's is located in a shopping center. There were a few cars in the lot when we pulled up, but I wasn't sure if they were there for the restaurant or other businesses nearby. When we walked in, there was one person sitting at the bar. We asked if we could sit there, and the bartender (don't remember her name) was very pleasant and welcoming. She thanked us for coming in, and when I mentioned I found the place on Yelp, she explained that everything is made fresh to order. They have an excellent selection of craft drinks on the menu, the assortment of cocktails and wines that look very good. My wife ordered an iced tea, and I had the Jimmy Red Old Fashioned. The drink looked fantastic, and she took her time carefully measuring each ingredient. That's how cocktails are supposed to be made balanced and flavorful, not just tasting like straight liquor. If I wanted that, I'd just order bourbon neat. For lunch, my wife ordered the meatloaf with collard greens and roasted potatoes. I had already decided on the chicken pot pie after seeing it online. I did find it a little strange they don't offer mashed potatoes as a side with meatloaf, that would've made it a home run in my opinion. When the food arrived, everything looked excellent. The pot pie was larger than I expected compared to the pictures, and the meatloaf was a generous portion as well. After the first bite, I can honestly say it was one of the best chicken pot pies I've had loaded with tender chicken, carrots, onions, celery, and a rich, flavorful gravy. And the pastry crust? The BEST I've ever had. It was big enough that I had leftovers for dinner. My wife's meatloaf was tender and flavorful, and the collard greens were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The roasted potatoes were just okay again, mashed would've put it over the top but that's just personal preference. She also had plenty leftovers for dinner. The food was great, the décor was nicely done, and the service was excellent. If this place were closer to home, it would definitely be a regular spot for us. We need something like this down in Calvert County. Overall, if you're looking for a great meal and well-crafted drinks, Betty Lou's is absolutely worth the drive even if you live a little ways away.

It looks like tea but it's all juice! It's clear the love and intention is put into everything coming out of that kitchen--and to top it off, the head chef is so sweet and friendly. You can feel the passion not just in the food, but in the whole experience. It's located inside R house, so the ambience is modern, with a few southern touches behind the counter! If you're craving soulful Southern comfort food with real depth, Creole Soul delivers. Easily one of the best soul food meals I've had in Baltimore so far.

Well hello there... I'm delighted to write this review of Tupelo Honey…read more Let me first start off by saying I was fortunate enough to attend the opening of the original one in Asheville, NC then I went to the opening of second one in my hometown of Greenville, SC. I must say Tupelo Honey Is such a beautifully crafted place that pulls you out of the everyday hustle and bustle and places you within the southern comfort and warmth that oozes through the ambiance with smiles when they great you. It's natural unforced southern hospitality from A-Z. Also of note If you're able to please ask for the (Chef's Table) and thank me later! Now to the food I started off with the famous fried green tomatoes as an appetizer then I ordered a fresh squeezed pineapple juice that was just delicious after that the amazing shrimp and grits that's so delightful and the creole sauce is blended to perfection. Here's a little food hack for ya, add pieces of your fried green tomatoes into your shrimp and grits I promise you won't regret it!! for dessert you absolutely have to try the strawberry butter pecan cheesecake!! Whaaaaaat?? Yes... you read that correctly.. so just take my word for it and trust me"The Butler Brand Review" I will always remain true.. Hats off to you Tupelo Honey of Arlington, VA it's awesome to know that the classic signature of your brand remains the same no matter the location!!! But all I ask let's kick it up a notch and put one in NY and CT why not show the Tri state and New England area some love and what they've been missing!!! I'm here to help lol Happy dining, W.D.

We sat there until they were sweeping around our feet and they were very nice about it even then. I rarely close down a place these days, so I was grateful they were accommodating.
