“The food was absolutely delicious every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. I especially loved it , which was bursting with flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and you could tell a lot of care went into each plate. Service was prompt and friendly, and our server made great recommendations from the menu. Prices were reasonable for the quality, and I definitely felt it was worth every penny. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area ,I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Cindy and Ashley are amazing they never stop moving“

“Such a fun place with special cocktails and the coolest owners!!“

“I regularly visit both the café and dining locations, and both have a wonderful ambiance for solo working (reading, studying, etc.), as well as meeting with friends for coffee. Scrumptious and interesting food fare, and truly warm and memorable service. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been lovely, but special mention to Eric, Daniel, and Grant, whose hospitality has been inviting and impeccable every time. Always looking forward to my next visit!“

“Yum, great service and great atmosphere“

“Went for lunch with my daughter in from Georgia on 11/25/2024. They had a "ROCKOSCAR" special and it was amazing. She leaves to go back 11/27, but staying by the airport, but told me, she would be dining there tonight also on 11/26.“

“Great bartenders, wonderful jukebox Where everybody knows your name And they are glad u always came“

“I adored this place. It gives me London pub vibes which is quaint and charming. It’s nice and small but worth going into. The bartendress was kind and their fall drink Pumpkin Spice White Ukrainian was very good, just like a Starbucks fall beverage but with liquor.“

“Great food an spirits an service!!“

“Wow! My tastebuds went into overload! I ordered a BLT sandwich recommendation from our server (who was great!) and it was the best I’ve ever had! So juicy and unique! The onion rings are definitely over the top as well! Everything coming out of the kitchen from their soups, salads and sandwiches looked amazing! One of my new favorite spots😊“

“I had a large catering order for a construction meeting in DC. They asked for something new. Since I love Julep's, I brought some for my customers. Emily was great from start to finish and helped me make a good menu. I asked for the order to be ready by 1030am and they made it happen. Everyone loved the food. You don't win friends with salad. Highly recommend!“

“The warm brie, shepherds pie,Irish Reuben were our favorites today. First time visit but definitely not the last time.“

“June 26, 2024, makes my second time ordering wings/fries and a drink from The Corner Lounge, I am glad I found this place. One day soon I am going to dine-in because the atmosphere appears friendly and welcoming.“

“Great small plates and cocktails. Love the rooftop atmosphere“

“Wonderful customer service. Our 2 year old decided to have a meltdown mid meal, which upset another patron, while we were outside calming her down the staff gathered a few books, stickers and crayons for her to play with when we sat back down. It was very thoughtful and helped to make the rest of our evening with family even more enjoyable. Thank you!“

“This is the third time my son has requested this restaurant for his birthday dinner and it never disappoints! Great wine, delectable apps, options for vegetarians, meatatarians, picky kids and those with food allergies. Great desserts as well! And the service has always been absolutely over-the-top fabulous! Also the vibe is awesome. We always request to “sit by the tree” and are always accommodated. Thanks Tuscan Prime!“

“Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, delicious food! We loved our brunch! It's our new favorite spot!“

“I moved here last month and was told to come here for the games...great advice. chris behind the bar is so friendly and remembered my name my 3rd time in. gret place to hang out and food is great too!“

“Some of the best pizza we’ve had! Tried the Marissa and Traditional White and both were amazing. Cool atmosphere, but loud, so be prepared. Staff was very friendly.“

“I have been a patron at McGarvey's for years. I love your food and service. However, first time I have a complaint. I was anxious to try the crab balls, as pictured in your menu. Although they weren't horrible, they looked nothing like the picture on your menu, very disappointed. I expected pieces of white crab meat and we got very crusted, fried little round balls. I bragged to my grandson about the picture on your menu and it was certainly not what we got. I must say, it is the first thing I have been disappointed with. Either change the picture or take them off your menu.“

“Unique food focused on local products and sustainability. The food is like nothing I’ve had before. Highly recommend the crispy kale appetizer. Love the homemade “sodas” especially the citrus soda and ginger soda.“

“Good food. Beer was cold. Perfect location. Nice people !“

“I want to recommend all to visit this Maggiano’s location for their great service,awesome food, and atmosphere. They invited my daughter and our family to visit for her birthday and went above and beyond to make her feel special. The manager Ahilan and his team could not have made my daughter feel anymore special than she did and it was truly a night to remember! Mussels were delicious and the desserts were incredible!“

“Great Cocktails, Great Food, Great Atmosphere. If you’re only in Annapolis one night, go to Level and you won’t regret it.“

“My husband and I had dinner at 100 Lots for the first time tonight and were so impressed. Our server Tracey recommended the bread pudding and it was amazing! We also had the Wellington Bites, Burger, and Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwich with fries. You can tell everything is made fresh to order and we felt like the value was there for everything we ordered. We will definitely be back :)“

“Food was great I highly recommend going for sushi“

“Fantastic staff and the owners are the best!“

“So we were looking to have a birthday gathering and a local restaurant was HORRIBLE and tremendously unaccommodating. So I called Chevys and they were happy to do whatever we needed. It ended up being fantastic and more people showed than expected. They made it work! Thank you so much for everything Chevys!!!!!“

“Adequate food nothing special - hadn’t been there in over a year - new furniture and higher prices“

“A Delightful Experience at Donnelly’s Dockside

I recently dined at Donnelly’s Dockside in Arnold, MD, and it was fantastic! The atmosphere right on Deep Creek is simply perfect - it's a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal with beautiful views.

The staff was excellent, providing attentive and friendly service throughout my visit. From juicy burgers to fresh seafood, Donnelly’s truly has something for everyone.

Lastly, don’t miss out on trying an orange crush, it’s a must-have!“

“I’ve been coming here since they’ve opened and I haven’t been disappointed. Yeah, there are times just like any restaurant where things might not be perfect or what you’d expect. But since I am a chef and I’ve worked in several restaurants, the difference between how something is cooked one day can be a difference between who’s working that day. They do make some of the best pizzas around! They have a bar, game nights, special pizza nights, buy one get one on Tuesday and even Social nights where you can cook things in the kitchen. What I recommend about Neo Pizza? Everything! It’s a good restaurant, not too overpriced. A great place to hang, socialize, have a beer and enjoy good times with friends or family.“

“One of my most favorite spots!! Always a blast!! ❤️“

“Awesome service! Wait staff is so friendly and the food is so good! Love Adams Ribs in Severna park! My favorite place ❤️“

“Incredible Maryland style crab cakes and crab soup, perhaps the best in all of downtown Annapolis. Many other great food choices too. It really is that good. Friendly service as well. Recommended!“

“Great selection, good portions of food. Yummy dessert and ever flowing selections of beer. Oh did I mention great attentive service! First time we visited here to try something new and we will definitely visit again. Thank you 😊“

“ambiance. ✔️ drinks ✔️ food ✔️“

“the bartender rocks 🖖✌🤟🤘🤙👌👏👏👏“

“Artaviap2022, stop it with the black thing and stop using your race as a crutch for everything that goes wrong in your life, as I'm sure you do! Just like the majority of your race. Im sick of it. Everything is a black thing with blacks! I'm white, and I have had the same bad experiences that you've mentioned in many restaurants! I guess it's all the fault of people of color! Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? So does what you've written! You are what's wrong with the racial problems in this country! People like you, who refuse to let go of history that happened when neither one of us was alive, yet, you're constantly looking for reparations for something that no one alive is responsible for. Just list your complaint, and leave the race out of it! People like you make me sick! It's people like you that make me dislike blacks, as that word was mentioned in your post! People of color don't typically drag the fact that they are people of color into a conversation! However, blacks make sure to say they are black when complaining about the perceived injustices that have happened to them! Just say what you have to say, and leave the fact that you're black out of the conversation! If you didn't like Buddy's, then just list your complaints and leave your race out of it! You should contact Black Lives Matter about your issue! Oooooops, I forgot, they ran off with your money and are nowhere to be found now!“

“Wonderful establishment. Great wine selection and the pizza and bartending staff are awesome.“

“Just a great atmosphere and friendly people“

“I was a little skeptical when walking in as the restaurants decor was very dated. We were pleasantly surprised that the food, drinks, and service we outstanding. We had an excellent waitress named Theresa. We will be going back so we can taste the other dishes on the menu!“

“The food was wonderful and the best price of any place we ate at while in Annapolis. Had a bit of a mix up as to who was the sever for our table so no one came to take our drink order or even give us water for almost 30 minutes. They were busy so didn't say anything at first but then mentioned it to the hostess and it was taken care of. Would go there again“

“We sat out front and the service and food was great. We loved the seared tuna nachos (each bite was perfect), the crab cake platter - fresh delicious crab with minimal filler, the fish and chips, and the crab penne vodka pasta with fresh crab on top. Fries were great and chicken chipotle sandwich was good too, as were the drinks!“

“It is 1:47pm on Thanksgiving Day, and my mother and I saunter in 17 minutes late for our reservation and my *beloved* mother points at the exact table she decides she wants. By the fireplace.
🤦🏼‍♀️
To be fair: It's the exact table that I want, and she's a 70+year old cancer patient, so I let her go.
I'm so sorry, host boy. 👃🏻 I know you're doing the best you can.
I mess with the host boy and tell him we're a party of 8. He doesn't bat an eye and is about to figure out how to make a party of 8 happen when I tell him I'm kidding and apologize.
We get seated at *my Mom's desired table,* and I look around, and realize our poor server has been *at least* triple sat. I tell my Mom it's gonna be a minute before we get our iced teas, but the support kid filled our waters; and not gonna lie, kiddo is not only on top of things, but also above-average eye candy.
Don't tell my Mom I said that.
We get our soups - Oyster Stew - rich and river-y (if you know, you know). Five oysters in each crock, and our server even found us *the right* crackers. Seriously - Give Frisco a raise.
Our turkey dinners were fantastic and the sides were even better.
We took our dessert to go.
This was the best Thanksgiving I've had with my mom in a long time. Thank you for making that possible.“

“Spacious location with a view for all. There is a playground with nearby covered seating so kids can play/family can keep an eye on them and there is tons of additional seating throughout on multiple levels with a river view. Both service and food were great (burgers, coconut shrimp, crab dip).“
