We eat in and order takeout from Memories frequently. Tonight we ordered takeout which included an order of wings and an order of crabby deviled eggs. First time ever I can say the food was terrible. The eggs were tasteless and the wings might be the worst I have ever had. They were dried out and literally inedible. Shame the kitchen failed tonight.

Our lunch at the Memories Charcoal House was enjoyable especially given the excellent service we received. We ate in the dining room next to the larger bar area. The dining room's appearance would benefit from some updating. We had the Chicken Gyro with Fries ($15.90). The portion size was generous and Gyro was very good. We also had the Boom Boom Bowl ($18.90). It was good tasting; however, the portion size was underwhelming including the size of the shrimp.

Honestly I was so disappointed. The chili was cold and all 3 of us had it reheated -even after getting it back no e of us ate it except to try it. Watered down and flavorless. They refunded it. 6 people in our party and two people ate their entrees. ( crab cake and steak sandwich). The crab dip came with burnt pita that were inedible. Chicken Sandwich and tenders were dry - I left the sandwich on the plate, but my daughter ate the tenders with lots of dipping sauce. Close to 150 dollars spent and most of us left having eaten very little. Waitresses were nice. Never again.

A favorite for both dine in and takeout. Boom boom shrimp tacos are amazing!

There's nothing quite like a well-made crabcake, and tonight's experience was a true delight. The star of the show was undoubtedly the crabcake itself, boasting an impressive abundance of jumbo lump crab meat. Each bite was a testament to its quality, with large, succulent pieces of crab taking center stage, bound just enough to hold their shape without being overwhelmed by filler. The flavor was pure, sweet crab, unadulterated by excessive seasoning, allowing the natural deliciousness of the meat to shine through. It was perfectly cooked, with a delicate crust that gave way to a moist and tender interior.
Accompanying this stellar crabcake were some truly noteworthy sweet potato fries. These weren't your average, limp spuds; they were perfectly golden and crisp on the outside, yielding to a soft and naturally sweet interior. They weren't greasy in the slightest, suggesting a masterful hand in the fryer. The sweetness of the fries provided a wonderful counterpoint to the savory richness of the crabcake, creating a balanced and thoroughly satisfying meal.

I eat here a lot but last night I had the worst experience ever!!!!
I love going here for the crab legs , steak ,and shrimp. And as usual it was fantastic..

However the waitress talked me into having dessert .. a brownie with ice cream and caramel with whip cream..

I ordered this to share with my 2 year old boy.
I’m so thankful I did not give him a bite before I took one , as I learned real quick that it was by far the hottest thing I have ever put in my mouth!!!!!!
I spit it out and was in shock for a minute that desert would be served so hot. The caramel chocolate and whipped cream that was on top was literally boiling on top of the brownie .after a few minutes, the waitress comes back over and ask if Everything was OK and I informed her that the dessert was way too hot and burn my mouth and ask if They had a thermometer to check the temperature after about another five minutes the manager waitress came back out said there was so sorry. Wanted to Take the dessert and drinks off the bill also took an additional 10% off the bill.
The waitress let me know that when they check the dessert temperature it was 139°. This was between seven and 10 minutes after the dessert was served to me this resulted in a trip to the ER with Burns on my tongue and mouth!!!!
Now today I can Barely eat Because my mouth hurts too bad!!

This was my first time eating here for my daughter’s sports fundraiser night. The food was delicious and the staff was so friendly and accommodating! The Maryland Honey Crisp salad was the best salad I have ever had! This will for sure be our new go to spot for takeout or nights when we dine out!
