Good food. Generous portions. I tried the pastrami panini. It came with fries. All good. Nice bar atmosphere.

First time here, but won't be the last. On our way to a show in Columbia, and stopped here. Great find! I had the Farm Fuzz beer, and Bird's the Word sandwich. Both were outstanding! Very nice atmosphere and great service as well. Definitely stop if you're anywhere near or even just passing thru. Definitely worth it.

This place normally is excellent but after the experience I had with one of the servers I prefer to go orders. And would appreciate the servers to be trained how to ask a chef the difference in lettuce types. I ordered a chicken sandwich and street fries as always but I wanted to try something different so I asked the server before I ordered the salad if they had iceberg lettuce (because I'm a picky eater and the only lettuce I enjoy are the iceberg lettuce) and if so can they sub the romaine lettuce for iceberg. She said they had it and that I can substitute it. So I proceeded to order one of the salads. About 12 minutes later she brings the salad out and it's romaine. I said to her "Oh I think the chef forgot to substitute the lettuce for iceberg instead of romaine" she then tells me "That is iceberg" I said "No, I eat iceberg lettuce enough to know this is not it, this is romaine." She grabs the oval bowl and says "You don't know what you're talking about" and heads to the back. I tried my best not get upset because perhaps she was having a rough night. But I find that rude and uncalled for if you don't know the difference that's fine but don't insult me. Just find out if you carry it and if not cool.

Manor Hill is an absolute gem located in Old Ellicott City! The service is always amazing and the servers create a very welcoming environment. It's definitely a little louder of an environment so that's something to keep in mind. I could go on and on about the pizzas, they're definitely something everyone needs to try. It's meant for one person but I always have leftovers so you could definitely share it with someone. The street fries are an absolute must try if you come here. Definitely a fun place to come with friends or for a fun night out!

Classic American food done really well! We came with a reservation as a party of 4 on a Friday evening and were seated promptly. Like most businesses in downtown EC, no private parking, so we had to circle public lot D a couple times until we got lucky and someone pulled out of a spot. It was a 2 minute walk to the restaurant from there. I noticed that they do have a couple of curbside to go designated spots next to their employee parking beyond the building on Old Columbia Pike, in case you get takeout. We ordered the loaded fry appetizer to start, a couple of the specialty pizzas, and a smash burger. I also got the coconut mojito to drink. The fries were rough cut and the perfect amount of crunch, and the personal pizzas were fantastic. The burger patty was not quite thin enough in my opinion to qualify as a smash patty as they advertised it to be, at ~1/2" thick, but it was delicious anyway! Our server warned us that the pizzas tend to come out from the kitchen at a different time than the rest of the entrees, which was appreciated. While it tasted good, my only complaint was that the coconut mojito was obviously light on alcohol content. All in all, I would gladly return for their food.

For quite some time this has been the best food in Old EC in terms of pub fare, and probably beyond that to the best food in town. It's creative and they pay way more attention to their food than most places. Their big salads are terrific. I crave the Thai salad. My wife the bagels and lox. Why doesn't every restaurant do salads like those? Their burgers are good, the fries are crispy and tasty. The bartenders are nice, the selection of beer on tap is unique, and I love the high ceilings upstairs that keep it pretty quiet. They seem to always be busy. It's obvious why.

Terrific food, ambient and historic setting, reasonable prices. Monday was 1/2 price pizza day. Delicious wood-fired pizza. We were seated beside the fireplace. Wait staff was attentive, friendly, and professional. My friend said her burger and fries were fresh and cooked to perfection. The Manor Hill IPA was superb. It happened to be a sunny day and after lunch my friend and I strolled throughout the town and visited the lovely shops. We had dessert at a charming Asian tea cafe. I cannot wait to return with my significant other.

The margarita pizza is delicious! As well as the mule! We went at happy hour today and had a young man serve us. I can't remember his name but he was excellent and made me excited to come back!
Amazing!!! Pleasantly impressed. The flavors, the service, perfect early date spot. Reminds me of back home. Date night in Philly Manayunk .. my heart is smiling! If you haven't tried them yet, please do.

Stopped here for drinks before an event .... Just missed happy hour but the prices were still good. We had the sangria and coconut mojito... the staff got us in and out as requested. They have clean single restrooms. When we walked in the place is warm and inviting. They also choose a charity to donate to once a week or so. I would like to come back and try the food.

Came for lunch and was so pleasantly surprised. I'd qualify it as elevated pub food as everything tastes very fresh and well balanced. The table next to us was having the entree salads and thoroughly enjoying them. We had a cup of delicious and creamy tomato soup (which would be improved if they added a little toast on the side), and then two burgers: the Tavern Burger and the Awesome Smash Burger, along with the Bacon Fat Fries which were very tasty & crispy enhanced by small pieces of bacon. We can't say enough good things about the burgers. Tavern Burger had lovely thick and slightly sweet bacon and the caramelized onion jam/relish was a perfect element to cut through all the richness. The Awesome Smash Burger left my husband in a state of happiness the rest of the day, and vowing to come back again to try the pizzas. Place had a nice relaxed vibe and they are proud of using local ingredients and veggies from their farm.

Great food, great atmosphere and great service. The tavern burger tasted amazing, didnt need any condiments on top. I did though place the Mac and cheese on top which added a little extra to it! yum!!! Also got a flight of beers which were very tasty!!
