The goat is great. You walk in and feel like you discovered a secret spot. Something special. A little place making great drinks, unique Latin inspired food and good specials. If they have a soup of the day, I usually get it and it's always good. The food is pretty, the plates are colorful and the cocktails are carefully made. Give them a try! It's a small place, but they are usually on top of things. If not, give 'em a minute. It's worth it. There is a small dog friendly patio out back. read more

Kind of a hidden gem as it's a block away from Dock Street and two blocks from Main Street. Well worth the visit. My girlfriend and I were staying for a night at the Gibson's Inn just a block away and so we stumbled upon this place just from walking around. Glad we came here for dinner. Excellent little corner restaurant and cocktail bar. There was live music in the corner while we were there, dim lighting, nice decor, friendly service, and the pièce de résistance: a phenomenal meal. My girlfriend had the blackened mahi burger, and I had the steak burrito, stuffed to capacity, drenched in red sauce and crema, exquisitely prepared and presented. Washed down with a local IPA. If we lived locally we would come here a lot more often. As is, we promise to come back when we are back in Annapolis, whenever that may be! read more

Wow! We stopped in here for a drink to use the bathroom as we were meandering around Annapolis. We ended up staying because it was phenomenal. Everything about this place was cool: the decor, the staff, the food, the drinks. They were super accommodating and helpful when making our selections and even making things that were not listed on the menu to accommodate my dining companion's needs. Shout out to Ryne, the awesome bartender who gave us some fabulous recommendations, and you could tell us very passionate about the spot and his role in it. I wish I lived closer, but as a first visit to Annapolis, I feel like we hit the jackpot at this lesser known establishment! They have been open for about two years and we were lucky to go during the off-season where we had the full attention of the staff. We were told it gets busy on the weekends, but it was relatively quiet around 4 o'clock on a Friday afternoon. Speaking of which they also offer a great happy hour... cocktails for $10 from 4 to 6 pm and they also offer a beer and wine specials. read more

I'm at a local place in Annapolis for lunch and I'm having their "Smoke and Stone" cocktail that--I'm not kidding--tastes like a smoky barbecue sauce. My mind is blown. It's so good; it has a slightly sweet undertone. I sat at the bar and Chris was my bartender. Fantastic and friendly service. read more

3.5 stars.. Staying with a buddy that lives on The Yard, so we ventured out the gate and happened upon this relatively new joint. Started out with a local brew and ordered the Nachos! Good with a spicy green sauce.. opted for the Crab cake sandwich... was expecting it to be hot, but was more like a crab salad sandwich. Good flavor, lots of crab! Ambiance is Ye Old Pub, service was friendly but "lost", and prices are in line with area. read more

I am upset with the fact that after over a decade in this area, I never walked over here! Seriously, one more street over from the touristy area and BOOM, some bomb a$$ food. I am still thinking about the meal! From start to finish, everything was absolutely incredible. The food here is nothing short of epic. Every dish I tried was packed with flavor, and you can tell that the chefs really know what they're doing. I started with the seasonal burrata which was a perfect introduction to what was to come. But the star of the show was definitely the "Main Entrée: Salmon," - it was perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, and the combination of flavors was just Y U M. Even the sides, which are often an afterthought at many places, were incredible and elevated the flavor profile. All paired with two glasses of Sauvignon Blanc (they have a great wine list). I wish I had room for dessert.... read more

This is such a cute little place! Love the decor and ambience. Staff are very friendly. We stopped by on a Sunday night just for drinks and a snack. We tried the margherita and caipirinha, both were delectable (and they don't skimp on the alcohol!) We weren't super hungry so just got the quesadilla which was a very good portion to share. Overall, loved the experience and would come back next time we're in Annapolis! read more

This place was so cute! They have an amazing patio area and the food was just as yummy! We started with their special blueberry hibiscus margarita which was super refreshing and was definitely worth it!

Super nice staff! read more

My daughter and I really enjoyed our meal here. The street corn dip with nachos was unbelievably good. I also had the burrito which was equally as good. We will definitely be back. Seating was limited, but we were able to find a table when we walked in after a basketball game on the Yard. read more

My hubby and I landed on the torta. I am glad we did, this was the best one I have had so far. Very rich in flavor. The service was great as well, this place is just a hair off the Annapolis beaten path. I also had a cocktail that was probably the best one in taste, next my all time favorite cocktail served at a local speak easy. It was purple and tasted like smoky goodness! I will definitely be back to this place and Will recommend to all that will listen read more

Walking around Annapolis and found this corner bar gem! Stopped in for a quick cocktail, and decided a Caipirinha(new favorite summer go to) and my wife had a Spicy Margarita. Both delicious...the food also looked amazing...hand Very clean inside, staff were extremely friendly too! Stop by here when walking around town. You won't be disappointed. Cheers read more

The Goat - Looks amazing, so had to take a snapshot for you, and The Goat! - Mexican Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Food was disappointing. Jalapeno poppers not much flavor not really cooked. Chicken Tinga Tacos and burrito not good. Will not be returning.

Loved it! We arrived right at opening time on a Sunday to enjoy lunch / brunch and had a great experience. To start, the bartender / server was so friendly! I asked about NA beverages and he had a few non-alcoholic beers to choose from and was willing to make anything I was interested in. The salsa trio was three different and delicious salsas - great idea to start with! I shared the nachos starter and they were perfect (and huge!). Others in my group had the charcuterie board and a rice bowl and had great feedback! The rice bowls were a great mix of ingredients and everything was seasoned well and very fresh! read more

The chicken wontons are to die for. Amazing food, gorgeous appetizers and main dishes. Great drinks- I wish they were a little larger but great flavor. Service was amazing, efficient and fast. The music was great and up beat. Slightly loud atmosphere for our Mother's Day dinner but to be expected with a full house. Will come back!! Didn't even take a second for photos. read more

Why this restaurant got 4.5 stars is beyond me. Went there with the family got seated outside, with no menus and not waited on for 15 minutes. Finally went up got my own menus and got some help. The food was horrible, no flavor and just bland. Would not recommend this place at all! read more

Had the pleasure of dinner at The Goat this past weekend. We stopped in for a drink on Friday afternoon and we're so delighted with everything about the place that y we returned for donner on Saturdy. Food and service were wonderful and we will surely return. We were very pleased with our experience read more

Delicious drinks and food. Get the guacamole! Also the live music is amazing! Check out their happy hour.

Ugh, I totally forgot to take pictures of my food because I was so hungry. Sorry guys! Hopefully this review makes up for it. Here we go: The restaurant is located near the water. On a warm summer day, it is going to be extremely busy so enjoy the frustration of searching for parking. Count on the Hibiscus Mule to ease your anxiety and irritation; you'll need it after suffering through. Thankfully, it is a delightful libation worthy of easing your stresses. The bartender definitely emulsified! The restaurant is very cozy! On a crowded day, you may have to befriend your table top mates since you are almost sitting in their lap. It makes a good venue to possibly end up with a new friend or at the very least, creep on your neighbor's plate without being obvious and assist you in figuring out what you want to eat. Speaking of, we ordered the chicken tinga wontons which came paired with a jalapeño dipping sauce. These were amazing and one of my favorite dishes. For those worried about spice, the ranch dip did not have too much heat (and could in fact stand to up the notch a bit), so don't let it deter you! Both myself and my friend had the mango salad with blackened salmon. It was very tasty! I appreciated the goat cheese addition and actually have rounded out my weekly lunch meals I make for myself with a salad inspired by them. Oh, and the service was pretty good! Waitress was attentive but not annoyingly so and the food came out rather fast. To note, we went when it wasn't all that crowded. I was there a little earlier than when it opened, so at 4 it would've been great if they made some indication that I could come in. Other than that, would definitely return and check out the other menu items! read more

I really feel this place was a 4.5. Pros: Smart and creative tight dishes Fun cocktails Most unique cuisine I have had in a while Great location right by everything and the water Decor was interesting- I liked the wall with the brass sconces Cons: This is not a kid friendly restaurant. There is not a kids menu, there are not high chairs and if you did try to bring a stroller you wouldn't fit at all. Portions are small I understand it's an artistic place but I'm just letting the Yelpers know... Ideally I'd like to see a bit more crowd pleasing items - I personally liked the food but two of my company thought it was too "chef-y". I'd like to come back and bring them so even just a simple nacho plate/taco would help persuade those with a simpler palate. I would order the fries and the wontons again they were very good and the sauces were great. I would probably be happy with the carne asada but did not think it was quite enough meat and could benefit from a couple chips since it came with a lot of guacamole and refried beans with not much to eat with it. Overall I liked the concept the service was good- a lot of the vibe here was young friends/ couples grabbing cocktails and the staff was definitely dressed down compared to the clientele I thought that was interesting it's usually the other way around. However this is a review for a Saturday and maybe people are just fancier on a Saturday. Note: read more

This place is absolutely fantastic, and highly recommended for anyone coming to Annapolis! Have a great mix of locals and out of towners - super cool ambience - and friendly staff! I highly recommend you try the queso, probably the best queso I have ever had in my entire life... And I've had a lot of queso! Located, super close, to the best part of town... Make sure you check out this Gem ! Guaranteed, good time! Did I mention the queso? Cheers ! read more

The Goat - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Everything on the menu looked absolutely delicious, they were happy to accommodate for allergies and the portion sizes were perfect. We started with the fries. The aioli was magnificent. We got the sweet potato goat cheese tostada and the shrimp one as well. They both left us full but actually felt good like the ingredients were of higher quality than your typical downtown fare. The vibe of the room was perfectly Annapolitan without an abundance of corny crab and sailing trinkets. There was outside service but we didn't check it out. Our server was delightful and checked in regularly without being overbearing. This is definitely my new post-work hang. read more

-we ate inside so this review reflects that area, not the backyard seating area. -very loud (and no I'm not old). There is -food took a long time to arrive -fumes from cars starting up and coming to the intersection in front of this place make it into the restaurant -after reading reviews about the great food we thought we'd be in for a treat. It's simply not very good- especially for the price. read more

We found this hidden gem last year and KNEW we had to come back this year... and we did TWICE! The staff is incredibly kind and authentic - a very local neighborhood vibe - comfortable and welcoming! The food and handcrafted cocktails were just as amazing! We tried the chorizo dip (delighful!); the chicken tinga wontons (yummy!); the red snapper poke (as fresh as if it just came from the Caribbean Sea that day); and the sweet potato tostada (heavenly and light)! The wine list hits all the notes and the house and spicy margaritas were excellent and well balanced. And the prices incredibly reasonable for such high quality food and drinks! This place is now a must for us every time we go back! read more

Adorable spot with cozy fun atmosphere and delicious food. Our waitress was friendly and sweet.

Such a fun restaurant with great vibes! The chicken tinga is to die for, and torta isn't far behind.

This restaurant is okay. The tacos were pretty good. The nachos were not good at all. We were excited to try them. We ended up with about 6 burnt chips with some dip. We still laugh about those nachos, and this was last winter. The portion sizes were smaller than usual, and the prices weren't great. The service was pretty good. I suppose it is a trendy, relatively new restaurant in Annapolis, but it just didn't do it for us. My husband and I are going to check out some other places in town. We like to eat out, but this isn't it for us. We grew up here, so we are pretty familiar with the local restaurant scene. I would recommend Vida Taco. Their nachos and tacos are great, and they are right up Main Street. They also have Taco Tuesday Night, and you get a reduction on your bill. We live in Annapolis, but we like the location in Severna Park too. read more

I had a great experience and can't wait to come back to try more of the menu. The hibiscus mule was delicious, and the guac was clearly fresh made and really good. I sat at the bar for a while with some time to kill, so unfortunately I wasn't eating a full meal. It was mid-afternoon so I got to watch the bartender, who was lovely, juicing a bunch of fruits to use in the drinks. Love to see that! Service was fantastic, and the vibe is fun and cool. It's the perfect spot for a date, hang out at the bar for cocktails, or a meal with girlfriends. It's small and elevated fare, so no it's not the place for a huge group or giant portions. read more

Truly one of our favorite places in Annapolis- I almost hate to post this because I don't want them to get overrun! We love the wonderful staff - Shannon and Nat and Neil are always super welcoming and fun. The drinks are amazing (espresso martini for the win) and we looove the new fall menu that just dropped. The chicken tinga wonton app is a perennial favorite, and we had new mains (fig prosciutto burrata salad, and red snapper ceviche tostada) which were truly exceptional. The space is small but very cute (check out the wallpapers in the bathrooms, ha) and they have a nice patio out back which I understand is dog friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Overall meh... food was ok - guac not great and chips are not made in house. Service was subpar and slow considering the price point. On the flip side the restaurant has a cool build out/feel and is in a great location. read more

Decent for apps and margs or drinks. Food was ok Service wasn't as good as the food when we went. Temperature was sweltering and AC not on or working and they left the door open which made it worse, so like eating in a sauna. Customer service attitude seemed to be "meh". read more
