Simply the best local restaurant in the area. The food is always great. The service is excellent. The vibe is chill.

Always great sandwiches and prepared quickly. The soup was really yummy. We also had the smash burger and Cuban today. My favorite sandwich that I usually order from here is the Pork Tenderloin....so, so good! read more

I love Region Ale! The hoppy meal is the best with a canned draft beer to go. The team is friendly and responsive. Definitely try chopped chips inside a wrap. It's legendary. read more

Overall I really like RegionAle. However I ordered the Chopped Italian Wrap with Salt & Pepper chips inside. This was because I rushed through the online ordering and I thought I was asking for a side of S&P chips. I didn't even notice the chips. The wrap was HUGE. Busting at the seams. Really acidic. I have also figured out something about myself. I do not like Chopped Italian Subs/Sandos/Wraps. I love the idea but don't love the execution. That's not a ding on RegionAle. It was a really beautiful wrap. Wish I hadn't rushed through ordering and could have gotten chips on the side. All negatives are on me. I'll do better next time. read more

Stopped in last night (Wednesday) around 7:45 pm. Walked to the counter to peruse the menu and order. We stood there quite a while and finally called out. Workers were there, but I think the orientation of the counter is such that someone working at the grill can't see people walking in. There's no sound (ringing bell, buzzer, whatever) and they couldn't see us come in. Whatever - it didn't make us feel particularly welcome. I notice a couple of other reviews mention the same thing. Seems like an easy fix. Anyway, we ordered a Philly Mushroom with old bay chips/drink and a Chicken Club with sweet potato chips/drink. We were given a table flag and we sat outside. Food came a few minutes later. Looked and tasted very good. The bread on the Club was nicely toasted, the aeoli was tasty and not too heavy and the chicken (decent portion) was pretty moist. My partner enjoyed the Philly Mushroom. Unfortunately, my partner received regular chips instead of Old Bay they requested. They don't like to complain, so they basically left them uneaten. I liked the sweet potato chips - really crisp with a good flavor. Nice size pickle wedge came with each sandwich. Very pleasant seating area outside. Fountain soda available with free refills. read more

Decided to visit this place because of the great reviews and was not disappointed. They have a pretty straight forward menu with only sandwiches from different regions. Hubby and I had Nashville style burgers, the kids had burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches. The kid meals come with a side and a dish. For the adult meals it's only the sandwich. We ordered a side of home made chips and they were crispy and delicious. The sandwiches were really good! The table next to us ordered the chicken wrap and that looked amazing!! I'll be sure to order that next time. The place was pretty full and there were a lot of people coming and going picking up orders to go. Not a lot of tables inside, and a few outside. read more

I'm such a sucker for a chicken Caesar wrap, so when I heard about the wrap at RegionAle, I knew I had to try. I picked it up on my way home from the airport, and had to wait over 20 minutes for the wrap to be made. However, it was very good. I wish it had more chicken, but the Caesar flavor was amazing and tasty. The homemade sweet potato chips were the star of the show. Both salty and sweet, and something I would definitely go back for. The wrap was gigantic and was perfectly fine to eat a couple days later. Inside the shop, it was small but I would definitely consider eating there in the future. read more

Nice hidden sandwich shop that everyone needs to know! Their Nashville Hot chicken and Fried pork cutlet sandwich are my highly recommend choice. The hot chicken was really flavorful and crispy and hot enough to give you a glimpse of how Nashville hot chicken taste like (I also live in Nashville so I know about hot chicken :) ) Their fried pork is something you won't get anywhere in Howard county. It's freshly made and very crispy and juicy. The toppings in each sandwich is absolutely perfect and goes well with each of them. They have great happy hour drink selection of 6 dollar wine and beer which makes a quick bite place with friends. Service was amazing every time I went there. Definitely a must hidden gem. read more

I enjoyed my experience here at RegionAle. We happened to be in the area and decided to have a late lunch here. The way it works you order your food at the register first and pay and they bring it to your table. I was out with a girlfriend and we both decided to get the bacon grilled cheese. Which I might add was delicious. The only thing I didn't like was that if you wanted tomato soup as a side. You had to pay separately. Now everyone knows that tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich go together. So why isn't that an option as a side? So it was an additional $5.00 if you wanted the soup to be your side. Of course I wanted it. So I paid the additional $5.00. Now the soup was good but a little on the salty side. I end up giving the rest to my husband. I also ordered an additional meal to go. Which was the Cubano sandwich. It also came with a side. So I opted for the broccoli shred. The restaurant was clean. This was after lunchtime so there was plenty of seating available. The cashier was so nice & helpful. I would definitely return when in the area. Sandwiches were great! I also like that they have a huge selection to choose from. Very hard to decide from so you may want to check out the menu in advance. read more

Man o man, it wasn't good. The chicken sandwich I ordered was made correctly (without bacon) but it was dry as heck, flavorless, unseasoned, and hard to choke down. I even tried adding extra avocado aioli, but that didn't help to save the sandwich, alas. The side of chips was free according to the cashier but it was a $1 upcharge. Not a big deal, but I don't like to be told that something is free when it's not. The chips were crispy and a large portion but saltier than any chip I've ever had. The margarita was unpleasant, clearly not freshly made and didn't have much alcohol in it. The service was friendly and hospitable. The interior was very narrow and small and can only accommodate four-person tables (there were only two of those, as well). I would not recommend or return. We went across the street to Coal Fire for a real meal. read more

Pickup order. Tried the jumbo lump crab cake sandwich comes with arugula, tomatoes, red onion and potato bun. The sandwich was flavorful but the crab cake was not as "jumbo lump" as they've advertised. Maybe I'll try something else next time. read more

We've decided to try this place after hearing about the chicken wrap. It was absolutely delicious. It wasn't too heavy...all balanced and perfectly chopped. You can share it with someone ... it's pretty big. Crab cake was delicious as well per hubby (not a lot of filling). All is made in house. Chips were delicious and have the perfect crisp/seasoning. Def going back to try the grill cheese and tomato soup :-) read more

This place is hyped up all over the place and it's not bad but to be honest the tenderloin sandwich is about the only thing I can eat there. Everything else has just way too much bread and heaviness to it. The service is do it yourself and the ambience is pretty much equivalent to a chipotle. Not bad, just not great either. read more

Region ale is a perfect quick service lunch spot. The options of sandwiches are perfect for anyone with any kind of taste. It really is a regional experience. I got a salad and my husband got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. My watermelon salad was hearty and felt like the perfect amount. My husband has been through a few sandwiches and Nashville hot chicken sandwich is his favorite even though they are all pretty good. We both got the potato salad and it is mustard based which I enjoy much more than the standard mayo based ones. The service is quick and quality is great. The girl at the register was also very helpful in guiding my lunch choices. I will definitely be returning! read more

This place surprised me. I'm not normally a sandwich guy, but this place has found its thing and it does that thing well. The inside is a bit narrow with a bit of a cafeteria vibe, but there are lots of spots to sit (though a table can often be tricky for our party of five). You place your order at the counter and they'll bring the food to you. FWIW, the gender-neutral bathroom in the back was clean and spacious with a changing table for me to take care of Child #3. I got the seasonal special the NOM Bulgogi Hoagie and it did not disappoint! Reminiscent of a cheesesteak sub but with tasty cherry peppers and this gochujang aioli that really tied the whole thing together with a nice Korean flavor - I would get this again. My wife got the WI grilled cheese which had good cheddar but also tomato and bacon to give it a little more oopmh than the childhood classic version (no shade to that though). I was pleased to see several vegetarian options that were more than a salad on bread. Child #1 doesn't eat meat and he loved his Jackfruit Cubano (there is a regular meat one on the menu as well). Child #2 ordered the children's menu burger and this is no small burger! I think many adults would be satisfied with a burger this size. There are several sides options and we tried the standard chips and the salt and vinegar. They weren't bad, but I think I'd really like to try the sweet potato chips next time I come in. There's a decent number of beers on tap and my wife and I each got one while the kids got some of the (cane sugar) fountain sodas. Again, I went for something seasonal, some nicely-balanced pale ale that complimented my sandwich nicely. My wife liked her fruity beer, but did say it wasn't the best pairing for her grilled cheese - match at your discretion! Overall, the prices were decent and the food and drink was solid. read more

RegionAle American Sandwiches - Seasonal special - bulgogi hoagie. Not bad! Gochjang aioli is a revelation! - Sandwiches Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

Sandwiches are okay, Ive had the burger and Caesar wrap and they are pretty expensive and honestly worth the price point

Whether ordering online or in-store, the service is always quick and the food quality never slips. Everything comes out fresh, well-seasoned, and made to order. The Philly Mushroom is packed with flavor, and the Chopped Chicken Caesar Wrap is consistently on point--generous, filling, and wrapped perfectly. This is one of those reliable spots where you can get something fast without sacrificing quality. read more

Probably the best curated sandwich variety's in Maryland! Fun, creative and fresh regional ingredients that allows a great representative sampling of meats, veggies and fruits for everyone -- including vegan and GF. We need you on the Route 40 strip in Ellicott City to save us a weekly jaunt for our Regionale food fix! read more

This place is the BEST. Its been one of my fav lunch spots for years. I'm so impressed that they keep the consistency of the food every single time I go over years, that's unheard of. The sweet potato chips are so freaking good, and I go between the Buffalo chicken sandwich, the Smashburger, and their seasonal Turkey or Lobster roll when it comes out. Dine in experience is super casual, 9 out of 10 times I just get carryout. read more

We live in the neighborhood and have been coming since the opening. Always consistent, and lately the sandwiches have been extra good. I love when the seasonal specials are available. Not sure if I am just missing Megan's shifts but I miss coming in and being greeted by her. read more

The chicken on the Nashville hot chicken sandwich is perfection! I think the hot sauce could have more of a kick however, and the bottom bun could be thicker, it was falling apart a bit. But overall, would get again! The sides are lackluster however. I found the potato salad and chips both to be bland. The cookies were the start of the show though, and I do recommend these! Also, love that jones soda was the brand on tap. Overall, a decent spot for a quick bite. read more

Had always heard about this place, but had never been. Finally stopped in since I was nearby and tried out one of their sandwiches and some sides. Everything was very good. side quantity was plentiful and they also have Boylan sodas. Not insanely priced for the quality. Service was just fine. It's counter service basically with a few tables to eat at. You pour your own drink. Lots of parking. Definitely coming back. read more

Pick-Up Sandwiches Anyone Customer Service First-time customer and I truly appreciate when the awesome employees take their time to help. I always preview the menu before I go into order and always need modifications made due to allergies. The young lady was patient and kind when taking my order. Food I was super bummed that the Vernometer is a seasonal sandwich but it just means that I will have to come back and try it when it's back in season. After my heartbreak, lol I ordered the popular CA Chicken Club Sandwich with avocado aioli sauce. I can admit that was was reluctant to try the sauce but I'm so glad I did because the young lady at the counter was right it was really good and a great alternative to just plain mayo. I will be back!!! Ambiance It's great with lots of indoor seating options. They have a selection of tables and chairs, as well as stools by the window. Parking Parking lot with plenty of FREE parking available. read more

Upon entering, we were presented with a small seating area consisting of two rows of two-seat tables. No one to greet us, we had to ask the cashier if we should sit and wait for a server or order at the counter. The latter is what you do, and someone will bring the order to your table. We ordered a smash burger and a FL Cuban and were surprised the price only included the sandwiches! Sides, like chips and salads were $3.00 extra. The ambiance is total failure, although the area was clean yet no frills. I've eaten in mess halls with more ambiance! The food service was timely, yet a 15% tip was quite overkill for a single trip dropping the food off when we were probably within 20 feet. The sandwiches were served on parchment paper on top of a tray, no plates! Plastic utensils and napkins are available at a counter where you self serve your drinks. My smashburger was dry, no juiciness at all. For those of you that don't know, the main feature of a smashburger is ultimate juiciness! The toppings were good as was the bun. The FL Cuban failed to impress as well. The shredded pork was bland and mushy. The paper thin single slice of ham did not add much to the taste buds either. In short, food is overpriced, quality and value are severely lacking and their competitors do a much better job. I do not recommend this sandwich place. read more

I have driven by this place and have been wanting to check it out. Im glad I did. This is a hidden gem. Especially if you craving for a good sandwich or burger.

Wasn't sure what to expect from RegionAle. I decided to try it out based on the four star Yelp rating. Man o man...this was quite a disappointing experience. I'll start with the wins...the gentleman at the register taking orders was the coolest and nicest guy ever. He was super friendly and explained how things worked seeing that this was my first visit. I went with the steak and cheese combo. Combo comes with chips and drink. No fries....what??!!! I get it, they're all about their chips. Here's where they lost me...the steak and cheese was skimpy and lacked flavor. I've had better steak and cheese subs from Subway:( My salt and pepper chips lacked salt and pepper. I went back to order a soup since my sandwich wasn't very fulfilling. Went with the lemon chicken noodle soup. Ehhh...just ok. It was extra thick and once again lacked flavor. The place was packed and people were coming in and out, so it seems to be liked by the locals. It wasn't for me. Won't be back. I did enjoy my beer!! read more

I love this place. The Best sandwiches in the area. There's a tasty variety as well as some delicious regulars. The Philly cheesesteak and the PoBoy are excellent. The service is always great. The prices are very reasonable. There are some tables and chairs if you want to eat in. Outside dining in warm weather. This place is always a winner. 2 years on and still loving Regional Ale. They continue to offer great food and service. read more

Very solid sandwiches. I particularly like the breaded pork that's kind of like a schnitzel. My wife got the Italian. Both were great as are the sides. Only eaten carryout so far so can't speak to dining inside. read more

Great food and drink, and great service in a great location. Pleasant casual atmosphere.

I've been coming here since it opened, and it's generally been good. However, the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich I just received for take-out is worse than what's served in a cafeteria, which isn't acceptable for a $15 sandwich. The staff said "nothing has changed" in regards to the chicken, but take a look at the online menu and photos here and come to your own conclusion. read more

I come here often, and the sandwiches are always amazing and service is always friendly and efficient. Today I had the mushroom Philly on ciabatta, and it was out of this world. The bread was fresh and flavorful, you could honestly eat it by itself, and everything inside was incredibly tasty. Paired with an IPA and a generous portion of house-made potato chips, the total was only $25, tip included. Excellent food and great value! read more

Consistently good. Friendly staff. The chicken club and the Philly cheesesteak are my go-to items. The chicken soup is wonderful as well.

The pictures of the food are very misleading. I had the chicken club and most club sandwiches are made with 3 pieces of bread to give 2 layers of meat. I got one layer and hardly any chicken. My husband got the smashburger. It was fine. Everything tasted fine but not worth the money. Just a regular place. read more

Casual sandwich joint providing regional meals and higher quality ingredients. It's an interesting concept to see sandwich options being based on distinct U.S. regions. I opted for the seasonal, Maine Lobster Roll. It was actually my first time trying lobster in general so I was quite excited. I enjoyed my lobster roll. I wish more lobster was included considering its price, but the meat, butter, and lemon juice made it simple and tasty. I got full off one roll. I got a side of their house made sweet potato chips. They weren't bad, but just ok. I tried a bite of the Nashville Hot Chicken. It was nicely flavored and breaded. I can see why it's a popular choice. Good serving size too- two chicken breasts or patties are served in one Nashville chicken sandwich. According to someone with me who tried the California Club, it was a good sandwich; the only complaint was that the chicken was bland with no flavor. Their cookies are huge, soft, and chewy just as they should be. Their potato salad tastes like a usual potato salad, it's good. I would come again to try a different sandwich and side. The ambiance is laid back and I like how their drink and soda options are high quality brands. A good place for a quick meal. read more
