The staff was super chill and very cool. It's a small taproom but it was well attended despite being the eve of a predicted snowstorm. The tap that the beer I came for was having issues but they did their best to get a pour. I hope to come back and try it again with a normal pour and get it at its best. But I did buy out of their cans of that brew to try at home and to share with friends who are excited about it. You can order food or bring in your own and enjoy over a beer or two. They also have game nights there too. Everyone was having a good time. I've been looking for a new place to have a beer after a bad experience at my previous spot. This one may be it.

Take pics of your receipt. Server added to the tip…read more Our server was terrible. Had to ask someone to even come to our table. She didn't seem to know the menu, was short, and was in a rush to move on. Didn't come to the table for any refills. Maybe she was having a bad day. It happens. We tipped accordingly. I took a picture of my receipt since it was a business lunch. I later found the server had added $5 to her tip, according to the credit card report. When I called to get it reversed, the manager tried to defend her and explain math that didn't work as an accident and then that the receipt she could see looked like there were more digits on my tip, which would have been $10 extra and not five. Eventually she reversed just the tip to zero. Cannot recommend this restaurant anymore based on server behavior and management response.

Great for hosting events…read more South House Garden is definitely ideal for the brunch and large guest accommodation. There were literally towers of mimosas at every table. There is a decent sized bar to accommodate guest while waiting for tables service. The ambiance and decor is made for photos with the lust greenery and nature theme. There are swing set seats at the table which seems like a fun idea. The food stood on its own. I'm going to recommend the deviled eggs particularly the shrimp ones which I order to go. The salmons ones were quite tasty as well but the shrimp beat it out. The steak bites and eggs is also a solid dish. Super tender and flavorful and perfect if you have a big appetite or wish to finish later. The presentation of the food was very nice. The cocktails were average restricted to the commercial brand spirits used to mix. Overall the experience was nice and I'm ready to go back again. 4.2 out of 5

I got the maple glazed chicken, which was essentially chicken and French toast. It was spectacular!! The French toast was quite literally the thickest I've ever had, but still cooked through and soooo good! The fried chicken was also cooked well and not dry. The hot sauce and honey worked great together and only used a tiny bit of syrup for the end of the French toast. Would definitely come back and not sure how I'd try anything else, because that dish is a must!!!

The vibes are peaceful, scenic, and honestly the perfect backdrop for a festival day out. They host several festivals throughout the year, and I had the pleasure of attending the Caribbean festival yesterday. Even with the rain and cooler weather, it was STILL a great time. The energy never dropped. Everything was very well organized from parking, to the wine samples, vendors, dance floor, and stage setup. You could tell a lot of planning went into making the experience smooth and enjoyable for guests. The music, food, and overall atmosphere made it easy to forget about the weather completely. This was my second time here, and it definitely will not be my last. I'll 100% be returning.

If you like a sweeter easy to drink wine, Linganore wines had you covered!…read more I first experienced Linganore Winecellars through a mocktail class for dry January. The host Sydney from The Plot Twist did a great job hosting and the ladies from Linganore were excellent in helping through out the class! There is a small parking lot that for everyday purposes is a perfect size. The bathrooms are well maintained and individual bathrooms. I returned another day to try their wines and was not disappointed! I enjoyed them so much that I took home 3 different bottles which me and my girlfriends all enjoyed. I'll be back for their Caribbean festival and can not wait!

Representing 2019 as a runner-up for an original out of town pick, B is for BJ's. I visited BJ's…read moretwice before, once in Tysons Corner, VA in June 2014 (see my 4-star review written in May 2018) and this location on a nice very warm Saturday, March 30, 2019. I went to a Meetup group hike on the border of Washington & Frederick County, and I met up with a friend, who later became a girlfriend. She drove us from North Bethesda where I met her. This was a long hike, and we were all worn out. The organizer of the Meetup said let's go to BJ's in Frederick on the way back to Montgomery County (where his Meetup group was based). I was looking forward to getting the pizza I enjoyed at BJ's Tysons 5 years earlier. Service was decent as I recall, but the pizza was smaller than I remembered and didn't taste as good. It wasn't bad, but it was kind of small for the price; so overall I was kind of disappointed. It was also a bit dark inside the restaurant, which I like getting a nice view of my food. This Meetup group did a variety of activities but often walks & hikes. It was an introvert Meetup. I'm more of an ambivert meaning I'm sometimes extrovert but other times can be an introvert. My friend is a total extrovert and was loud & boisterous at lunch. I don't think the organizer of the Meetup took too kindly to her. Then, that friend became a girlfriend, and I took her to another of his Meetup for games in August 2019 for games in the park. Organizer seemed disappointed in me (even though I wasn't particularly close with him) when I introduced her as my girlfriend as he remembered her from hike & BJ's. It was kind of an ongoing joke with us how he didn't like her. Maybe one of these days, I'll go back to BJ's; there's a location close to me in Laurel, but I'd get something other than the pizza.

I've been to this location several times, and it's always one of my favorite places to eat at the Rio Lakefront. The atmosphere is lively without feeling overwhelming, making it a great spot whether you're out with friends, on a date, or spending quality one-on-one time with your kids. This visit, I ordered one of my favorite combination, the Brussels sprouts with the garlic noodles. It's one of my go-to meals (right alongside their veggie burger), and it never disappoints. The Brussels sprouts were perfectly cooked with so much flavor, and the garlic noodles were just as delicious as I remembered. My eight-year-old ordered the kids' cheese pizza, and he absolutely loved it. It was the perfect meal before our movie and made our little outing even more special. The service was excellent from start to finish. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Great service always enhances the experience, and she definitely did just that. Whether you're looking for a family-friendly restaurant, a casual lunch, or a place to enjoy a meal before exploring the Rio Lakefront, I highly recommend this Yard House location. Great food, wonderful service, and another memorable experience. Highlights: * Delicious Brussels sprouts and garlic noodles * Great kids' menu * Friendly, attentive, and accommodating staff * Fun atmosphere for families, dates, or casual outings * One of my favorite restaurants at the Rio Lakefront
