    The service is spectacular! And the food is just icing on the cake. Everything came out hot and ready. Still has a great taste and flavorful considering it's all natural.

    Butternut squash soup
    Bill T.

    Second time here. Wifey and I did lunch, chicken sandwich with fries, butternut soup and jambalaya. Everything was awesome including our server Russell! Highly recommend for good clean eating.

    Grass Grass-Fed Burger*

    Great experience at True Food Kitchen. The grass-fed burger and fries were flavorful and cooked perfectly. Russell provided attentive, friendly service that made everything smooth. The iced shakerato to go was a standout--refreshing and well-made. Would definitely come back.

    edamame dumplings & juniper rose drink!!
    Jessie T.

    One of my favorite restaurants to go to in Annapolis!! I normally get the edamame dumplings (so delish) and a kale salad. They are super friendly and accommodating to allergies and dietary restrictions! JImmy and Tristen are awesome servers, but honestly, anyone you get is a delight!! Highly recommend to anyone look to try something new!!

    The drink is named: Crimes of Passion!

    This spot has excellent customer service and the wait staff is very polite and friendly. The food doesn't take long to come out @ all. But you need to know that this place is healthy eating; They have absolutely {{{NOTHING}}} fried in the whole bldg. So I ordered the grass fed cheese burger with cheesy mashed potatos. It was very delicious and well cooked. My wife ordered the gluten free lasagna with turkey sausage which she really enjoyed. Overall this restaurant is pretty good for healthy eating! We had the bomb waitress Alexa who was very professional, polite as well as knowledgeable about all the kitchen items; So ask for her if you come through... Also they have a lot of gluten free and vegan items as well!

Alexander's once before, and it was good enough for me to come back--and it did not disappoint. For this area, the cost was surprisingly budget‑friendly, especially considering the quality. The town center around it has clearly changed, with several stores and restaurants closed and even the old adjacent parking lot gone. But once we walked inside, the experience was excellent. Our server was friendly, helpful, and honest with her recommendations. My daughter and I both ordered the Chicken Palermo, and it was outstanding--fresh, tasty, and served in portions that rival anything back home in Texas. The broccoli was delicious, and I swapped one side for Brussels sprouts, which were just as good.

For a restaurant with a full bar, it was surprising they had no mezcal and were supposedly out of top-shelf bourbon, yet still served me a drink that tasted overly sweet and nothing like the premium bourbon I ordered. Another letdown was the lack of bread service. Other J. Alexander's locations usually serve croissants, so having none available took away from the experience. The food didn't make up for it either. The steak lacked flavor and felt low quality for the price. The "fried chicken platter" was basically oversized chicken tenders marketed as an entrée, and the mac and cheese was watery and bland instead of rich and creamy. Overall, the experience felt inconsistent and poorly executed. Between the missing staples, questionable bar service, and underwhelming food, this location did not feel worth the cost.

Certainly not the fanciest or trendiest of spots on West Street or in downtown Annapolis and I like the casual, local feel. The crab dip and friendly service were most memorable.

Unfortunately, he's the only fan. I feel sooo bad being so critical so I'll make it quick. The decor/ambience is so uncomfortably in need of renovation (the wood paneling, sectional seating, and carpet, for starters). They're known for their crab cakes which did NOT disappoint (according to those who ordered them) and TWO THUMBS UP on the salad bar ... which we ALL absolutely appreciated. However, the other food was mediocre and the attached pics prove the simple, low effort, dive-bar quality. It wasn't a total wash tho'! Their portions are respectable. The birthday boy LOVED the carrot cake buttt, the scallops, green beans, crab dip and fried chicken were declared unseasoned and the rockfish bites (strips) were salty. The Chardonnay had vinegar undertones. The Tito's shot was $20 but this is not the type of establishment which can justify charging that! I'm going to stop there because I totally respect their long-standing "pillar of the community, local landmark, generational longevity" claim to fame.

I know everyone thinks they know where the best crab cakes are, but they are wrong, because the Edgewater Restaurant has them - a softball of jumbo lump crab meat, perfectly broiled with very few added ingredients so the crab shines through. All of the meals come with 2 sides of your choice, including potatoes served at least 3 different ways and a salad bar that isn't even trying to be healthy. Truly, there is no better place in Edgewater for dinner.

You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, and their recommendations made the experience even better. The seafood mac & cheese was unreal -- pure cheesy, gooey goodness packed with flavor and perfectly cooked seafood. Comfort food at its absolute best. We also tried the WhistlePig Old Fashioned with bacon, and it was hands down one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. Rich, smoky, smooth, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. What really sets Dry 85 apart is the whiskey and cocktail selection. The variety is seriously impressive, whether you're a casual bourbon fan or a full whiskey enthusiast. One of the bartenders recommended trying a bourbon flight, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the night. They took the time to explain the differences between pours and made the experience feel approachable and fun instead of intimidating. The atmosphere has a great upscale-but-relaxed vibe that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy yourself. Between the amazing drinks, incredible food, and top-tier service, this place completely exceeded expectations. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Annapolis.
