My tour of the foods of Catonsville continues. This time, my destination was Jennings! I will return! Not too many establishments offer cooked to order fried chicken! You get a half of a chicken, delicately seasoned and fried perfectly ??! My sides were potato salad and stewedtomatoes! Surprisingly, the potato salad was almost ethnic! Chunks of eggs and the right amount of salt tickled my taste buds with happiness! And the stewed tomatoes reminded me of Sunday dinner.The shrimp and cheesy grits had a great cajun flavor! Really good.Old American fare with a modern touch! TV's are posted for your sports enjoyment! I highly recommend this place!

We love "Iamps at Jennings" - formerly Jennings, long time Catonsville spot, owner retired and new folks took it over (years ago), if anything its better than ever. We go often, gets a bit crowded and the bar trade raises the volume a bit, try to get a seat on the left side of the front door.... Local recipes and traditional Baltimore fare, you must try to fried shrimp platter - best ever - made from scratch, and the fried chicken is great. Sour beef, the usual array of foods, never had an unsatisfactory meal. Service usually good, it does get busy though, the TVs show sports mostly, a true local gem A few parking spots in back, but street parking is usually not too bad, summertime there is outdoor seats in back

Jennings hasn't changed much since I was a kid, the name has changed a few times, but they have decent food and a pretty dimly lit bar

I've avoided this restaurant for years because it's small. It sits right on Frederick Road, where traffic is usually heavy and parking is tight and metered. My sister in law gave us a gift card for Jennings last Christmas so we finally tried it. We both got the sour beef and dumplings and it was the most legit, delicious meal I've had in years. If you've ever eaten at the old Demitris down the road, the recipe is the same. Totally worth the trip if you're craving tender sour beef.

Food took at least 45 minutes to be served. We asked our waitress what was the delay and she didn't know. Then when it did arrive parts of the meal were cold and parts burnt. We asked to see the manager,but were told they were not on site. We sent back the food . It seems like teenagers are running the place with no supervision. We paid our check and left .We never received an apology for the wait or poorly cooked food. I'm going to call today to hopefully speak to a manager.

45 minute wait for the appetizer. There was a "large" party (table of 6) who put in a ticket before us. Place was fairly dead. Loaded potato skins with burned bacon. Yum! The main came out about 20 minutes later. Burned bacon wrapped meatloaf with cold mashed potatoes. Asked to see the manager, but they were out making deliveries according to the waitress. Perhaps the place is being run by teenagers? Absolutely awful experience.

Great place to go and have a few drinks. It has a nice size bar with a wide variety of drinks. They have a nice dining area as well, with really good food. It's a friendly atmosphere. Make sure you say hi to Rachel when you go in. She's usually the the bartender that's working.
Great neighborhood pub. Great american/seafood fare. Julie our server was very personable and efficient. Good prices too. Lots of ?Great Playlist of classic rock ?Most people don't care, but Great liver n onions!

They didn't update their holiday hours and we drove all the way there at 12:45 a.m. in the rain and fog because they advertised they were Open Until 2 a.m. but when we got there a paper sign on the door said holiday hours, closes at 8 p.m.What a waste of time and gas!
