“Went to Joe's oak grove this Saturday they had karaoke and talked to everyone there they all friendly . The owner is really a nice person I will be back“

“Food and Service was Excellent.“

“Great home cooked food, locally sourced! Nothing like homemade ice cream!!!“

“I see a lot of these are older reviews and I don’t know if they have since gotten a new chef in the last 3 years but the food is phenomenal and I’m very picky! I look for things to not like and this is my second time here and can’t think of one bad thing. Service is good, but the food is literally outstanding. The mashed potatoes had great flavor as did the veggies - my steak was a tad overdone but it was so tasty it didn’t matter. Crab cake was filled with delicious lump crab! And it had flavor too — I also tried the Korean short ribs on special and they were just SO GOOD! The drinks are also delicious! And I stare at the dessert case every time I come in but I’m always too full to order anything. I guarantee they’re also to die for! Great place!!“

“The only time better than their food are their bartenders. Great job!!!“

“What a great atmosphere and food was great! Will return and highly recommend 👍“

“I eat here every time I visit the area.“

“Food and service is outstanding“

“We had the fried green tomatoes as our first appetizer. They were tender and topped with lumps of crabmeat. Spectacular! Then we had the fried cheese appetizer. I can’t remember the name of the cheese, but it was delicious in the accompanying sauce and olive oil and pesto. All of the dishes we had came out perfect. My filet medallions were so tender,they melted in my mouth. Hubby got the pork loin over mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts and loved it. We will definitely come back!“

“We enjoyed a perfect evening for my son's rehearsal dinner! Blackwall Barn and Lodge is a great place to hold any event! Danny and the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. The food was beyond amazing. I wouldn't hesitate recommending the restaurant/Lodge to anyone. Love the atmosphere.“

“Thanks for making our Thanksgiving Dinner!“

“First time here. What an outstanding experience! The food was phenomenal and our waiter/bar tender Herman was the icing in the cake! He is so personable and easy going and a great waiter but he makes the best Long Island Ice Tea we have ever had! We are very picky about that drink, as it is our favorite and a very hard one to get right! Kudos to the establishment and to Herman! We will be back!“

“Absolute gem of a place! We stopped in for lunch after a hot hike from top golf and it felt absolutely amazing in here. It was a well decorated modern industrial vibe that smelt brand new! The bartender who was also the waitress was amazing! The beer and drinks were ice cold and our chicken strips and fries were fresh and delicious! Glad we found this place on a whim.“

“I love to stop in for lunch with my son & grandson when in Catonsville. Really enjoy the tomato basil soup with grilled cheese sandwich! (Traditional but SO good!)“

“Stopped by for a late outdoor dinner. Ordered at the window and staff was amazing and friendly. Amira was especially friendly. We were devastated you ran out of cotton candy ice cream, but we still had a great night with great service.“

“This is the first time I went to this restaurant and was very pleased with the service, the food was great and we received our food fast. It was very clean and all the employees were very friendly. I will be returning for another great meal.“

“I happened to drive by and see people sitting outside eating. It looked like a great place to stop. I went by myself. I was able to find free parking right outside the restaurant. The menu I was looking at was mostly breakfast and brunch. The price range was about $15 on up. I got a gingerale and their house wings as well as fries. Everything was good.. My bill was $21. The waitress was very attentive and nice and gave recommendations. I would recommend checking this place out. It had a nice atmosphere.“

“Friendly staff and yummy food plus tacos“

“Wonderful Mother’s Day experience. The rockfish was cooked to perfection. The staff was kind and very attentive. Everyone even gave kind complements to our 84 year old grandmother! Highly recommend:)“

“The best kept secret in Howard County!“

“Excellent dining experience once again! Our first time there was about a month ago and when our waitress walked by she recognized us! Very impressive ?she said she's a school teacher and is used to memorizing so many names and faces. I forgot her name but she's a very nice person! We came in for our wedding anniversary last evening. Caroline I believe het name was took cgood care of us. She was very sweet, professional and attentive! The food was excellent. My husband had the salmon BLT which he enjoyed and I had the Bistro Steak Frites and it was perfect and delicious just as it was the last time! The gentleman who was assisting the staff ( either owner or mgr) very kindly came and replaced my dish with the correct one. Someone else had ordered it but to a different doneness. The entire staff was warm and friendly, from the servers to the mgr, owner, and hostesses. We will definitely be back and want to bring our friends whom we told about your restaurant. Keep up the great work, Ashling!“

“I love the food Mom, and Poppa are amazing!!!“

“Ignore the exterior, this is the place for breakfast! My wife and I were in the area one day by chance and wanted something not-a-chain-restaurant for breakfast. A quick google search found this little diner tucked away on Camp Meade Rd.

It's not much to look at from the outside, which made me optimistic because some of the VERY BEST food comes from these little dive looking places and LL did NOT disappoint! It was clean, VERY reasonably priced, and clearly a local favorite. Obvious regulars had a fantastic rapport with the staff. Food was served quickly and virtually perfect in all respects.

Very much worth tracking down this little gem, and will absolutely eat there again next time we're in the area!“

“I took my boyfriend out for a father's day dinner last night at this great new restaurant to us. Wait was only 10 minutes. Very nice decor. Love the ceiling and lighting. The cocktails were spot on! The food was delicious. But above all else, our waiter, Nick, was the best part about this. He had great energy and attentiveness. He had the funniest quips and took care of all of our requests. Thank you Nick!“

“I just wanted to say what an awesome experience Barracudas and Billy provided for my family. We held a surprise 90th birthday party for my Mom there on Saturday and it was perfect. The food was delicious as usual and the service was phenomenal. Abby did a great job taking care of us. Big shout out to the kitchen staff and everyone else who assisted in making my Mom feel loved and appreciated. I live 2 hours from the restaurant, but I make it a point to stop in almost everytime for food and drinks. Everyone has their own opinion concerning the restaurant and staff. In 10 years I have never had a bad experience here or seen anything out of the ordinary reacting to the staff or ownership. I have seen intoxicated patrons but that's it. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal or a drink. You won't be disappointed.“

“For as expensive as it can be to order food for a family from here, we do expect warm and fresh food. our food was barely room tempature and definitely old fries. The ice cream had hair in it. This place has gone down hill fast. Would not recommend.“

“Delicious food and great service“

“we dine here frequently. The servers are all friendly and wonderful. Food is fantastic.“

“We enjoyed a lovely brunch here on a beautiful Fall day. We loved the historic building and the lovely treed grounds surrounding it. The food was outstanding and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend!“

“My daughter chose pies over a wedding cake for her reception. We ordered multiple flavors and they were such a hit with the guests. Everyone was excited to see the variety and enjoyed them immensely. This turned out to be such a success and I recommend others try pies in lieu of cake, and you cannot go wrong with Dangerously. 😋“

“Great food and drinks. Staff is friendly and accommodating.“

“Very cool experience! Got to take photos with the knights afterwards and the fights were amazing! You are given a specific knight to cheer for based on your seating section too. They have a net that comes down to protect the audience during the fights due to flying debris. It's a bit hard to hear some of the dialogue sometimes due to the crowd cheering, but you understand the majority. Overall a very unique and fun way to have dinner with friends in general or to celebrate an event like a birthday.“

“We all really enjoyed our food today, we got the liver and onions, fried chicken dinner, burger with mashed potatoes and corn on the side to go. The liver and onions was excellent and so was the service. Christine took my phone order and waited on me when I arrived to pick up the food. Great personality and customer service. Thank you we will be back“

“Their breakfast foods are 🔥 and the staff/owners are great too. Prices are perfect as well. Definitely recommend this spot.“

“My wife and I went there on a whim cause we were bored with the other places we normally go to. We both were pleasantly surprised! Definitely will go back again Tasty food good atmosphere“

“Lizzy was AWESOME! SERVICE IS A1! She came over to me in a jiffy before I could announce me and my party was hiding in the back! A1 stuff!

The prices weren't outrageous for the portions, everything looked so good! My nephew got the cinnamon pancakes it looked amaaaazing and I got wings, fried ad cheese steak which was delicious! My new spot while I'm Baltimore from DC!

Fun spit arcades and grreeeat vines, decor, clean bathrooms that don't stink.

Kid-friendliness: Was able to bring my 13-year-old without any issues.“

“The lady who took my order was friendly I got a 6 inch with provolone cheeses and grilled onions cause I wasn't sure if it was gonna be good well,It was seasoned juicy and Delicious so I will be back for a 12 inch double the meat and different toppings.“

“I went into McAlester’s deli and I believe the cashier name was Iyana and she was so patient and welcoming! She was the best with assisting, helping and even suggesting things. She got me to buy a cookie and i didn’t even come there for a cookie lol. This is the type of service that makes you want to come back time after time. I want her to be my cashier every time!“

“Spurrier's Restaurant and Lounge has an incredible view and surroundings from both in and out. I just spent but a day there, and I had an incredible time. The surroundings were neat and there were ample parking lot. Staff were polite, professional, and helpful. They do sell snacks. A special occasion gave me the chance to visit and to explore what do they offer. You can book a reservation. Stairs and elevator are available but I prefer using my legs. You can't miss it. It's within the city, and businesses are all around. I didn't order any food from there, so I don't know how their food taste, but what I can say is that the occasion I was invited to, the food was great. The food is more traditional based on the event. But overall, the staff were excellent and they did their very best to get everyone situated and to feel at home. ?

Parking: Parking was free. There are ample parking lots. There are bins, recycle bins, stationed there for bottle glasses. For further questions, call the library. You can find their phone number at their website.?

Kid-friendliness: Yes, kids are always welcome with a parent or with a guardian.

Wheelchair accessibility: The sliding doors are automatic for wheelchair accessibility if using the library. However, the Trail is not ideal for wheelchair accessibility.“

“It’s a chill place to be at this time a day the food is great anyone and everyone come to Ale House“

“Their food is very professionally prepared. It tastes great and I also like their health-conscious options.“

“Phenomenal customer service. Very professional and attentive to customer needs. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.“

“Great atmosphere and nice music!“

“Pats is our go-to never lets us down dinner option. We've been eating there for 6 years now since we moved to the area and I've not ever ordered something I didn't like. Not to mention that they give huge portions which I think is commendable seeing as so many of the restaurants right now are making you pay more for less due to shrinkflation.

Like I said we love everything but their pasta is amazing my husbands favorite is the chicken parmesan and mine is a tie between the spaghetti and meatballs or the chicken burrito bowl. Oh and if you like delicious things go ahead and tack on one of those desserts lol.“

“I’m not super into BBQ, but Iron Flag BBQ has changed everything for me. The brisket was tender, pulled pork was to die. The Mac and cheese surprised me the most, hands down the best Mac and cheese I’ve had! Highly recommend!“

“Great experience- great food and atmosphere“

“Amazing dining experience! This is the perfect spot to have a fantastic meal and unmatched cocktails. The team is attentive and helpful, and the menu offers an imaginative assortment of tasty options. Owners Nancy and Jerry (who is also the chef) are frequently interacting with guests and making sure that each guest is having the perfect dining experience. Inclusive and warm, this duo created our very favorite place in Baltimore!“

“the bartender rocks 🖖✌🤟🤘🤙👌👏👏👏“

“A restaurant inside the Double Tree hotel. It was not busy, and service was prompt and efficient. The food was just okay. The menu has a few choices in each section of appitizers, soup and salads, sandwiches and dinner entrees. The buttermilk chicken patty on the sandwich was a bit tough and tasted like the meat had been frozen. The crab cake was good, with fresh crab and not too much filler. The old bay chips had a flavor that did not appeal to me“

“While I visited a few years back and loved the scrapple egg and cheese that I got and the plentiful selection which they had, when I went back a few days ago after dropping off family at the airport, they sadly appeared to be closed; hopefully not for good 😢“
