Look, I don't know how these folks aren't already listed in Yelp but allow me to introduce you to…read morethem. Charm City Trivia are the #1 most professional, entertaining, friendly, competitive, and respected trivia team in the area. While they're more focused toward the Baltimore area (duh) they do reach down into PG and Howard counties (see the map I included). I've been going to their location at Maple Lawn (Looney's) for about a month or so now and I can tell you that they're amazing. The questions range from the pretty easy ("What movie featured a car with the license plate, "OUTATIME"?) to the pretty difficult ("Name the three capitals of South Africa."). The questions show up on screens throughout the facility and the announcer is very easily heard without being obnoxious. [An added bonus is that the food at Looney's is pretty darn good!] The format is: 6 rounds of questions 3 questions per round 5 (I think) toss up questions (these are numerical questions where the closest to the answer wins) 1 final question (the only one where you can lose points) Each round has three different amounts you can assign to an answer (if you're positive of an answer you assign it the highest number). If you're wrong, you don't lose those points...except for the final question which you can wager up to 40 points. Big swings in team position can happen in the final question. I cannot encourage you strongly enough to try out a location that is hosting Charm City Trivia. Check their website and see the zillions of times and places that they're running a game. Trust me, you'll have a blast even if you come in last place like my team did last night.

I recently used Charm City Trivia for my daughters' bridal shower. What a great time. We wanted to…read moredo something out of the ordinary and this fit the bill.

Everyone was having a good time. Then a man came in and started micro managing her every move, told her she couldn't do a drum roll before the answers, basically took the wind from her sails.

Well, come to find out ... this is the OWNER of the company. Shame on him! What a horrible display of authority and leadership!

Good food, friendly ambiance and prompt service make this German fare a winner…read more We went here for a late lunch early dinner on a Thursday. The hostess was friendly, bubbly and helpful with our menu choices. We started with the Pretzel bites with a cheese sauce and a mustard sauce for dipping. Little pillows with plenty of salt, a winner. No entree, we shared Onion Rings, Boneless chicken wings (Bbq sauce and garlic Parmesan sauce) and two sausages, bratwurst and knockwurst. Along with my wife ordering Kolsch on tap, we were in heaven. It brought us back to a trip we took to Germany. All delicious. I'm grateful that they put the sauerkraut on the side, it would make me sick. There are a lot of beers and ales on tap and many are authentic from Germany. I had ginger ale, shame on me. We'll be back for their weekend brunch! Recommended!

A cursory glance at the menu informed me that I could order schnitzel but there was no beer I found desirable. Luckily the bartender scrounged up a High Noon for me. The food, when it arrived was really good and I ate all of it. The bartended was friendly and attentive, so I had a pretty enjoyable experience overall.

If I am ever back in the area, I would definitely come back!

This was a return visit for me and our women's group…read moreselected The White Oak Tavern for our monthly dinner outing. Overall it was a pleasant experience with good food and a welcoming atmosphere. Parking was easy and conveniently located directly in front of the restaurant. There is also outdoor seating available during good weather, and they even offer a dog-friendly menu for your four-legged companions. I would recommend calling ahead to confirm whether the dog menu is available year-round or only when the patio is open. Inside, the dining area is spacious and comfortable, making it a good option for both small and larger groups. They offer daily and weekly specials in addition to their regular all-day menu. Tuesday wing specials seemed to be especially popular with several members of our group. The food was the highlight of the evening. Everything brought to the table looked fresh and flavorful, and I did not hear a single complaint about anyone's meal. A few people ordered the wings and thoroughly enjoyed them. The biggest challenge during our visit was the service. Our server was friendly and clearly trying his best, but with a larger group and separate checks, things became a bit scattered and confusing at times. Orders and checks needed a few corrections before the end of the evening. In fairness, the general manager stepped in to help resolve an issue with one meal, which was appreciated and helped improve the situation. Overall, despite a few service hiccups, the quality of the food and the comfortable atmosphere made this a worthwhile visit, and I would return again.

She was amazing and wonderful. She came like right away. I went to the bathroom and the person that I was with was just being a brat. He was having a tantrum and she I got the appetizer combo where you get picked two or three and I got the lemon pepper wings dry rub all flats and she provided those without an extra charge. I got boneless sweet barbecue sweet honey barbecue sorry and I got two sliders well done with just cheese. They were perfect and my guest he got because he really wanted a burger and he wanted to do the appetizer and DEE was very very very patient with him and explained it's better to get all American with no bacon no cheese so you can put everything else you want on your burger and then it was buy one get one half off. He got the jerk chicken and the Thai wings both wet rubs and she explained to him. Yes they're both wet. Are you OK with that, he asked for obey. We were not near our place that has a buffalo wild wings that does provide obey. I told him that she gently told him that so he was already in the mood. He asked for a corona. I got a pink lemonade she bought me I mean, I got a regular lemonade. She said we have strawberry. I'm allergic to strawberry so she said well. I recommend the lemonade and just I'll add light ice and he got a corona and she bought it right away with a line and he drank his corona he requested another one and she bought it to him right away. She also allowed me to take to go cup for my lemonade, cause I hadn't finished it and I asked her no lemon in the lemonade and she complied. She was a great waitress please tip her please give her kudos. She was amazing. He paid for the meal and I said you should leave her a tip. He said no cause my burger was wet and I said well you didn't tell her well done so before we left while we were packing up want to go boxes two separate bags because we were going two different places two different locations but when we left before we left, he was like well. My bun is so soggy and he said can I get another bun cause this one's soggy and he was like this burger has a lot of grease. I said you're nothing but full of complaints. First of all she went and found her manager and said listed can I get it just a regular toasted bun in the kitchen obliged and they just toasted a regular bun and he put his burger on the rest of the bun and finished it make that makes sense. see she was a merry wonderful very great waitress very compliant. We spent less than $50 and less than 45 and he refused to tip her and I didn't like that so but please please please give DEE erase she was amazing. she was patient she made sure she got his order absolutely correct had he got a burger a little bit more well done it wouldn't have had a lot of you know Greece and I asked him I said did you want your burger? Well done he said no I said so. You basically asked her what you got and she made an exception and gave you raw onions and they don't do that they usually caramelized their onions. but it was a great meal and it was a lot of games going on so it was super loud different TVs and stuff. I think he also got distracted from watching TV so he didn't order his food correctly, but she obliged everything she was compliant and patient and I thank you so much. She's a great waitress again. Her name is DEE.
