    Eggshell in my potatoes salad .
    Joshua J.

    The food was absolutely trash and the service was not anything about it. I ordered via DoorDash and I found that they left one of my drinks. I found an egg shell in my potato salad and the brisket was terrible. Absolutely the last time I had ordered from Red Hot and blue. I thought I'd give them another chance after 10 or so years wrong idea or at least absolutely the wrong location in order from. I absolutely deserve a refund for this underwhelming meal and will be contacting the restaurant first thing when they open .

    I texted a friend telling them about the ribs again they laughed and said I sound obsessed I told them obsession is worth it when food is this good

    St. Louis Ribs, Half Slab with sweet potato fries and coleslaw

    The ambiance was that of a typical bbq restaurant, big bar in the front for grabbing drinks but too noisy and cold to dine in. Get a table in the back for talking. Service was friendly with sweet tea refills frequent. I enjoyed the half rack of ribs. Nice smoke taste and it was a good portion. The onion basket was similar to the old onion loaf, lightly breaded onions. I would order this again anytime. The sweet tea was a hit but didn't like the unsweetened tea. Fries (potato and sweet potato) were good, not over cooked and good size and portion. The smoked turkey was a little dry but they have a few different bbq sauces to select from on the table. I preferred the sweet one because the others were too hot for me. My sister found the pulled pork a little too fatty. The chicken tenders coating was a little thick. They need to work on sides as the coleslaw, beans and the Mac and cheese were watery and underwhelming. We were visiting the area so will not be returning but if you want ribs and are in the area stop by (get the onions).

    this is a portion for a two year old

    Good meats but the side order portions for carry out are ridiculously small. This is fit for maybe a smaller child. Ate both the potato salad and the beans and its like I never ate at all.

    Texas Brisket Plate - Sliced
    Russell N.

    Absolutely horrible!!! Worst example of Texas Brisket Ever!!! Never Again!!! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else for BBQ

    FAT from one sandwich.. the bun the size of a hamburger bun!
    Linda H.

    Food was delivered by a very nice gentleman We opened up the food to find no utensils to eat the potato salad and coleslaw! (We are in a hotel for the night) The sandwich seemed very small for $16 plus and was full of fat The picture is the fat from one sandwich! I do not like to complain but really $40.00 worth of food..... We will not be back!

    Love some BBQ!

    In all honesty, I found the food here to be two stars AT BEST ... this was one of those meals I regretted spending money, or calories, on, when I left. I am a sucker for BBQ and up north, there just is not good BBQ to be found. Even the top-rated spots use electric smokers and sugary sauces. Given that Maryland is (to me) closer to the south, I hoped to grab some good old fashioned BBQ when I saw the 'food next exit' BBQ sign. The restaurant is in a cute, little MD town about 2 miles off Route 95. It's in a weird building ... I was kind of hoping to find a shack or roadhouse but it is more of a sit down restaurant. It is cozy in a 1990's style way with bright red walls and cheap blonde veneer wood finish. There are Blues concert posters and black and white photos of blues singers on the walls. I was seated in a booth in the bar area of worn red pleather ....the bar looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the Clinton administration with papers, an old box fan and other brick a brac scattered about. The bottles were a strange mix of liquor bottles you've seen at liquor stores but don't know what you'd do with. The restaurant portion seems nicer than the bar area but the entire restaurant has a bit of a shop worn vibe, including a window you pass on the way out where food supplies/boxes are stacked up like a warehouse. The food was regrettable. I did get a $10 off coupon through yelp, which took the sting out of the prices ... which seemed on the high side. I settled on a draft beer and the two meat platter. I chose pulled pork and brisket. They arrived and the brisket looked a bit dry and there was about 1/4 fat and 3/4 meat. The pulled pork looked a bit more like cole slaw and the meats were pretty greasy. I could taste no smoke ... if you told me that these meats were cooked in a crock pot, I'd believe it. I smelled no BBQ smoke outside of the restaurant, which went along with the smokeless taste. I covered the bland piles of meat in BBQ sauce, my favorite being the sweet sauce. The sauces were a bit sugary ... but at this point, I just needed something to make the meat taste like anything. It seemed the sauces were not homemade, except for the hot sauce. The mac and cheese side was good ... not the best I've had but better than some of the spots I've visited. The baked beans were awful. Basically a few spoonfuls of small reconstituted beans swimming in a cup of sweet, watery liquid. The meal was adequate but regrettable. I felt as though it was a bit of a waste of calories ... from sit down to paying the check, it was 20 minutes, so I did not waste much time eating and they didn't waste much time cooking. It was not true, authentic BBQ in my eyes ... more of a touristy version of semi-BBQ. In fairness, it did seem that many of the (mostly elderly) customers were repeats who knew the staff by name. While not my cup of tea, as a BBQ enthusiast, maybe someone living in a small town would find the social aspect more appealing. I'm glad I received $10 off ... with tip, this would have been a $30+ lunch otherwise.

    Burnt Ends
    Candy M.

    So I went searching for burnt ends here in the DC. Being I am from Memphis, I am looking for real BBQ. I asked in a Foodie group on FB about where to find some GOOD burnt ends. Someone suggest Red Hot and Blue in Laurel. I placed an order for burnt ends and catfish. The place is not too far from my home so that was a plus. Overall I did like the food. The burnt ends were flavorful and tender, the catfish was really good too. I will be ordering again tomorrow! Lol Here is a picture of the burnt ends. They are a nice size appetizer..

    I had a full slab of ribs, but they were bland. I'm not a fan of smoked ribs with the membrane still attached.

    Went here on a Saturday night about a month ago -- place was not crowded/too busy…read more Ambiance: very bright lights and very loud music; hard to hear people talking to you at your own table. Service: waitress was kind, but service was extremely slow. 2 beers took about 15 minutes to make it to our table; I ordered a mixed drink and was given the incorrect mixed drink, which I went to the bar and traded out for a beer instead because our server didn't come back to our table to check on us for a significant length of time. We ordered several menu items they were out of and we weren't told that they were out until about an hour and a half into waiting for our food. We ended up with three side salads, 1 app, and 1 meal for a group of people. We asked our server for the check, which she failed to bring after 15 minutes. Hungry and desperate to leave, a member of our group went up to the bar, had the bar tender remove the food we were never given, and paid. Overall: Horrible experience w/ sub-par food and even worse service. Spend your money elsewhere.

    The is my first review of November so I'm behind but will be catching up soon...lol But back to Mad…read moreCow I came on yesterday (11/9/25) around 1pm to meet up with some friends for Brunch. Usually with brunch we would do the bottomless mimosas and all but because I was driving I decided not to participate in that. And usually I would get chicken and waffles but I was in the mood for a burger. So I thought because their name is "Mad Cow" the burger would be the bomb...but nope it was not good at all. So I prefer a beef burger cooked medium with blue cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onions. When I burger got tot the table it was dry as a board. No blue cheese that I paid extra for and the burger was not cooked correctly it was cooked well done. Smdh. So the waiter brought me my blue cheese apologized about it and also gave me a mayo bottle. Even with the burger still was not good and the patty was so thick with no flavor not even salt and pepper was in it!! I tried their punch drink which was really good but for $15 a pop in a regular water glass was ridiculous. Make sure you don't get too tipsy as they already have like a 20% gratuity added on each of our checks no matter how small or big your group is which again is ridiculous! Will I come back...maybe only because I would like to try some Jamaican food they offer. But for brunch...it's a no for me!

If you love onions you'll enjoy the onion crumble on this burger. A good balance of flavors and well worth the try. Parmesan fries also had roasted garlic so it was a big "Yes" for me! My husband got the jailbreak burger which was also a big crowd pleaser. To the right they have a full bar to try their different beers. A great spot to take your friends for after work drinks and eats. They even have a cozy lounge area to relax. Plenty of seating and great service. The staff was ready and willing to help and cleared off our tables for us. The tab system makes it easy to move from room to room so you don't have to worry, it's easy to add drinks and food as you relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Will definitely recommend for a relaxed atmosphere where you can watch games and also enjoy lively conversation. Better than a sports bar for food AND drinks.

There was like a tangy sauce on the tuna which took away from the flavor of the fish and for $22 I was expecting something a bit more. Otherwise, Jailbreak is always a solid choice for drinks and grub. They usually have reservations and larger parties, but it's a pretty open/communal space, so there aren't typically issues with seating. All in all, a great spot for many occasions.

Like what? We chose that and Carolina Gold...when I say the wings are juicy, they're juicy. Crisp on the outside, flavorful, and juicy on the inside. The lemon basil is my new favorite, even more so when dipped into their Yum Yum sauce. The Carolina Gold reminds me of honey mustard with a little extra pizzazz. The cauliflower bites (we got mild) still had a nice kick. Bring some to your veggie-head friend and relish the praise, along with the fried okra. I make it a point to try fried okra if it's on the menu, and yes. All the yes. It was cooked through with the perfect snap, so fresh. Add some mozzarella sticks if you're feeling generous. I brought those home and popped into the air fryer for 3 minutes. Perfection. Next up is the Cheesesteak egg roll. I could literally eat 4 in one sitting. They're so good that the next order placed will involve a cheesesteak. Survey says...10/10. Great service, delicious food, all in all a great establishment. Love the colors inside too.

I had wings (obviously) and selected 2 flavors - Honey Lemon Garlic and Thai Chili. They were fried hard and held their crisp under the sauce. WIN!! Both sauces hit but I think the lemon garlic was my top. Add to it, the customer service was great. Seemed family run. There was a young man and an older gentleman at the register. Both were helpful and welcoming and seemed to have a familial respect for each other which was also awesome to see. I'll definitely return.
