“When you want old school charm and history in Ellicott City, this is your stop. I haven't been in years, first time for lunch and couldn't be more satisfied. Their stuffed mushrooms caps was all crab meat, delish. Their Steak wrap was better than a cheesesteak sammie. Herman was on his service game!“

“It is located in a very cool area of Ellicott City.. So much talent to witness on the Popup jazz night. I hate to say this but the servers are not friendly and the good is average but drinks are great and every who comes to listen are friendly.“

“We were a large party of 7 teenage girls and 2 adults, so keeping their attention for orders and questions was tough but Erik did great. Food was tasty and everything went of without a hitch. My introverted daughter was terrified they were going to sing to her but clearly the note we had left when making the reservation was read, as they gave her a free treat but did not sing. Very good time for all.“

“Very welcoming place. Unpretentious. Drinks were delish. Espresso martini! We love seeing people of varied cultures, just hanging and talking with each other. I was reluctant to get the ribs because I read a review saying they were dry. Mine were delicious. It wasn’t a saucy rib, and that’s how I like it. I’m sure you could ask for sauce. Husband had steak and rice. The staff is very accommodating. The onion rings were great. Wish I had some left! Plenty of TV’s to see a game in the bar area. There is also a dining room area away from the tv/bar area. Comparing this experience to a Navy Yard sports bar yesterday, we enjoyed today’s Bare Bones meal over yesterday’s DC sports bar hands down. Our server was great. Friendly, quick and respectful. It was like going to your friend’s house for a meal. We’ll be back…Definitely to watch some football this season. I’ll have to try something else next time to see if their other dishes fare as well.“

“Amazing Brunch. Thank you Stelios and Giannis for the hospitality. We hope meet in future again. Greetings from Calgary - Canada.“

“The employees are genuine! They sold me the last ham bone this weekend so I could make a delicious cold day soup. It truly improved a day that started off challenging.“

“they have mold on the meat while it is on the grill and poor quality control. the video in the comment.“
