Clam strips dinner
Karen C.

My family had a large dinner gathering here recently. I think there were 11 or 12 of us. The restaurant staff did a great job taking care of us. The waitress was attentive and got everything correct. The support staff was very helpful as well. We had a variety of food and everything came out tasty and hot. I had the clam strips with fries and a small portion of cole slaw. I also got a side of cole slaw as I did not know it came with some. The clam strips were flavorful and a good portion. Fries were crisp outside and soft inside. Nice cole slaw. Some of us started in the bar side of things to have a drink. Looks like a nice dive bar atmosphere with pool tables and TVs. Overall a nice meal with family. Good service and food.

Corned Beef
Kelsey S.

This is known as a Harford County staple. We had a nice evening. It was very old school feeling in here, and very popular for families or older crowds. They have a full bar and a whole dining room. The prices are affordable. They're known for their pit beef, you can smell the pit walking in this place. The meat is fresh and they're also known for their fish being fresh as well. Their corn fritters, that are deep fried, cover in powders sugar that you dip in maple syrup. Wow. That was something different and so good. Would recommend. They make their rolls homemade here and they're fresh and warm. The meat here tastes great. I loved the corned beef. The roast beef was good and so was the ham! Robin was our waitress and she was so sweet and lovely.

My dinner guest and I, in our late forties, were probably the youngest people in the dining room. That's not an accident here, I don't think. This restaurant has been around that long and clearly has a lot of regulars. The dining room is outdated, definitely. Very 70's vibe to it, complete with yacht rock in the background. So it was a bit jarring to see our server, who couldn't have been more than 16 at the most, come up and take our order. She was absolutely the sweetest thing, though, and was prompt and polite. I ordered a Reuben with chips, and a side of bacon cheese fries. Dinner guest ordered a hot roast beef sandwich and jalapeño poppers. The bacon cheese fries were tasty. Fries were hot and crispy, just like I like them, but it was pretty clear that the toppings were just bacon bits and shredded cheese out of a bag. It wasn't bad, just a little underwhelming. The Reuben, however, was damn near perfection. The ONLY thing that could have been improved was it needed a touch more dressing. But it was the perfect size, perfect taste, perfect balance. Very good. My companion also had no complaints about their food. The plates were absolutely clean. Our server, and others, were very pleasant and checked in on us regularly. Really, the only real downside was the outdated ambiance, plus the lack of air conditioning made it a little stuffy and hot inside. If that were updated, you'd have a 5 star review on your hands. Worth a visit. We'll probably come back again soon.

First time here at the location in Fallston. Had apps one time with a customer at the White Marsh…read morelocation a few years ago. Decided to have a little "celebration" for a successful year end at our business. The good - attentive service. Called ahead and they held a table for 15 min until we arrived. Friday and it was packed. Cocktails good. Food, I've got some concerns. Appetizers - ordered cheesesteak eggrolls and octopus. Eggrolls were excellent. Octopus thought, I'm used to the presentation at Bacco's so I could do without it being cut into tiny pieces and buried in sauce. Salad - shared the kale salad. Great flavor but the ( wife's pet peeve when I serve it ), the kale was in very large chunks, could use a bit more chopping. Main Course - wife had stroganoff and I had the NY strip. I don't know what it is about Harford County but it's the last time I'll try to get a proper NY strip here. I should have known when it was only $52 on the menu. Steak & Main advertises "best steaks around" and serves the same 1/2" thin cut slice that looks like it came from Ponderosa but they charge $65 which is a ripoff. I like my steak rare and with a steak this thin, it's impossible but at least they were close. Again, stuff all over the top of the meat, a bit too much. Stroganoff - solid!! Dessert- Bananas Foster / solid!! My only gripe is the steak. We will be back for sure but I'm done trying to get one out and will just continue getting a nice cut from a butcher and treating myself at home.

Great location for this little gem. It is very small so make reservations. There is a bar area that…read moreonly seats 4 and ample parking along the street or in public lots nearby. Service is good and they are very attentive. Our water glasses were never empty. Server very well acquainted with the menu and they even have specials off the menu. Menu doesn't have tons of choices, but makes sense when everything is prepared fresh and what is on the menu is done extremely well. First, drinks... yum! They have a terrific happy hour deal. That is worth a visit on its own. It's pretty spectacular and the drinks are great. The good news is you can get the HH without sitting at the bar. We had an Old Fashion, a Lemon Raspberry Martini, a Lemon Drop martini, a Sidecar, and a Carajillo. All were well made and delicious. The Carajillo was amazing - better than an espresso martini!! The food was wonderful. First course was the Baked Avocado, Cream of Crab soup, and the mussels which weren't on the regular menu as they were a special. The Avocado was fabulous and not too heavy. The mussels were in a delicious broth. Cream of crab was good but not worth the $21 a bowl (just average as you would get anywhere else). Second course was Filet Mignon, Shrimp and Crab, and House Made Pork Sausage Pappardelle. All were delicious and served with sides that elevated the flavors. The filet is a fav! The portions were a great dinner size and not overwhelmingly huge. We skipped dessert, but they were all great choices. We had previously had their s'mores which is a must try! They do have good coffee as well. Great location, intimate setting, nice people and a wonderful place to visit for a wonderful meal. Worth visiting. Be prepared as they are pricey (over $300 for 4 people). It's odd because their Happy Hour is just such a steal for the craft cocktails available (I guess gets you in the door). Perhaps sit at the bar for HH and just get drinks for a reasonable option. Maybe throw in a charcuterie board to snack on while enjoying the libations. For sure will be back.

They have a small menu, but sometimes that's nice not having to make so many decisions and usually that means the courses are quite good. I ordered the peartini, which was good but didn't have strong pear flavor. They brought out bread with our starters (3 pieces for 2 people - I never understand that!) which was tasty and my salad course was delicious. My husband really liked his soup too! For our entrees, he got the filet mignon which he said was excellent, but my shrimp and crab with gnocchi dish was disappointing. I think the sauce broke so it was swimming in oil. I tried to eat the pieces off the top and the shrimp were huge and gnocchi very soft and flavorful, but I couldn't get over the amount of oil. For dessert, he got the crème brûlée which he enjoyed and I got the s'mores. Mine was good, but the chocolate was very thick and heavy. I was hoping for a lighter mousse to end my meal instead. Overall we had a nice time and enjoyed our date night out, but I think the food is a bit inconsistent.

I have reviewed this one before, but this time it was for breakfast! They just recently started…read morebreakfast service. Check their socials for days/times. We went on a Saturday at 10am and we were seated immediately. We all ordered coffee. They have lots of options like flavors, creamers (non dairy), lattes, Americanos, espressos, etc! Lots and lots of options. They also have breakfast cocktails. The food menu itself has a great selection to pick from as well. We ordered a veggie breakfast burrito (yum), a make your own omelet (delish) that came with potatoes and toast, a carnivore bowl, and two sides of bacon. All dishes were great. The sides of bacon were rather large! All of the food was good and large portions. The prices and quality are very reasonable! For sure check this place out for breakfast. Greta vibes and lovely experience.

Upon entering the hostess was very friendly and cordial. We were seated very quickly. The waiter came. He was very helpful. Knew the menu very well. and gave us some menu recommendations that were all spot on. The interior of the restaurant is a dark wood kind of muted bar type look. It's not a very big area, but it's very cozy. We ordered the glazed chicken dinner and the salmon dinner. They were both recommendations of the waiter and he did not disappoint. Five stars for both dishes. The only thing I did not like really was the old-fashioned that I ordered. It was hardly any bourbon in it. But other than that, I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is excellent. The service was excellent.
