“Matt in the kitchen is *chef's kiss* - his dessert creations are incredible. Most recently the strawberry shortcake is fantastic - perfectly yet gently sweet.

10/10 take a minute & stop in for a beer and a dessert!“

“Had an awesome time at the beer spa and the tap room. The entire bath experience was fantastic & the staff was great. Remy was helpful and kept checking in to see what we needed. Lots of good beer options here as well & the food we had was great. I’d definitely come back again!“

“Hosted us for a super 30th birthday, all staff were super nice and our guests loved the nacho bar ~ taco bar~ churros“

“Terrific new local small business in OEC making great Vodka and Gin!! This is run by a great friend of mine and will be a terrific addition to OEC.“

“Great place to hang with your dog!“

“Downtown location is excellent. Food is great at both locations. Service at Owings Mills location was the worst I have ever experienced. Go Downtown. Owings Mills service was dreadful. It wasn't crowded. Just really bad service. Worst service.“

“I made a reservation for my Hubby's birthday dinner.

This establishment was easy to locate, provided free parking, very clean, and had great tv's for sports viewing.

We were seated immediately upon arrival and greeted by Adam.
Adam had a great personality larger than life!!

Great recommendations, fantastic flow of food, and perfect for our party of 13.

Collectively, we ordered the following.

Firecracker Grilled Wings - Amazing
Brewpub Pretzel - Very tender, tasty, and huge. Magnificent mustard came w pretzel.
Crab Dip - Plentiful, above average.
Frisco Chicken Sandwich - DE-licious !!
Brickoven Pies (Cheese) - A table hit!!
Bayou Burrito - A lot of flavor, great size.
Cheesesteak Eggrolls - The table couldn't get enough of this yumminess!!
Cajun Chicken & Shrimp Pasta
Louisiana Red Jambalaya - Whoa! Large portion, flavorful, and very good.
Frisco Burger - Perfecto !! Very good.
Loaded Caesar (Small) - Fresh
Skillet Cookie- So rich, shareable.
Campfire Brownie - Rich in flavor, tasty.
Grand Marnier (Shot) - ** read below **
Long Island Iced Tea - VERY smooth!

Each and everything was great, except a double shot ordered at the table. It was smaller than a single shot. We didn't want to make a scene, so we dealt w it. But never again.

Overall, it was a great visit!
I look forward to returning to catch sporting events on 1 of the many TV's as well as Happy Hour.“

“The owner tries hard to maintain a certain vibe at this place. He made it clear to me one day that johnnies is not a party spot. You go there for the stiff drinks. It has a small group of regulars and if you know who I'm referring to then you're probably one of them. But outside of them most people just keep to themselves. Like I said though, you go for the drinks and they're cheap & strong ( I've never had their food) .“

“Checked out Sonoma’s for the first time and left really happy we did. The atmosphere is one of the first things that stood out. Open, comfortable, and laid out well, with plenty of TVs and seating whether you’re there to watch a game or just hang out. Service was on point from start to finish.

We sampled some of the food as the new owner starts putting his own spin on the menu, and it was a great first impression.
The honey sriracha wings were outstanding, great flavor and cooked perfectly, and the pierogies were also a solid hit. Add in affordable beer prices and a strong lineup of local drafts, and it checks a lot of boxes.

Found out later in the night that it was karaoke night, which sounded like a fun time, we couldn’t stay this round, but it’s definitely on the list for next visit. Sonoma’s feels like a place that’s heading in a really good direction, and we’ll be back soon.“

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.“

“Grew up here. Nice neighborhood bar, good food, stocked liquor store, friendly people that welcome all! Large tv’s to watch. Large bar. Tables. Eat in or take out. Open till late.“

“Friendly staff. Food was delicious. Pretty sure every server in the restaurant dropped something off at our table.“

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

“Was in ellicot city and was searching for a quick eat out place and saw this in google .. reviews looked good and thought of trying .. the inside of the pub wasn’t high end .. was normal and old styled bar . Amazing service . Loved their smile and quick service .. they had few IPas and beers on tap. Drink was awesomeee . Ordered sweet potato fries .. it tasted great .. nice quantity for the price . Wings was ok. The sauce in the wings was sticky and could have been better .. we still loved it overall. 4 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“It was my BFF and I first time there. We had Kim as our bartender and could not have had a better one. She was very attentive, served our food hot and prepared a pretty nice drink. The bartender that came in after her didn't even ask if we wanted anything else and I set for 30 minutes waiting for my BFF to finish her drinks. I made sure to ask Kim's schedule so we can get there earlier next time.“

“I enjoyed both of my visits over this past weekend. The food was delicious and the waitstaff was great. Can’t wait to make my way back so that I can go again.“

“Great brunch. The food and service was c the best!“

“Because of the closeness to home our sons had taking us for Dinner it was GREAT Place! my husband and myself go there occasionally!“

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

“I was a guest at a birthday celebration today. Our server was Brandy and she was awesome. There were appoximately 40+ attendees and she handled the entire group with ease and professionalism. As a side note the food was great!!“

“Great food as always and awesome servers. Our server, Maggie, took the time to help me understand menu, especially what was on the item I wanted. I have a learning disability and she took the time to break down the item I was looking for without me feeling pressured. She was kind and checked on my family and I every so often. We come to Oscar’s a lot, but she’s one of the first servers I’ve had anywhere that has taken the time to help slow things down and make it understandable.“

“Best steak wrap I have ever had in my life. If I could have given more stars I would have. Our waiter was also very attentive. But this is not the place to go if you're looking for atmosphere...not really a Trolley Stop, more like a gritty hole in the wall. But I'd go back in a heartbeat for the food and service.“

“our daughter called from Calif to purchase gift card for my hubby's 80th b'day. they hand delivered to. our house since USPS couldn't get it here in time. Now THAT is SERVICE!!!!!“

“karaoke on a busy Friday night at peak hour....was not a great choice. the vibes were way different than what we came for...“

“I don’t typically write reviews, good or bad, however our experience at Xenia on Oct 12th has changed my mind. We were in the area from Boston just for the night and learned of Xenia through our hotels concierge. It was amazing and probably one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was outstanding and prepared beautifully. We had the Spanikopita, Greek salads, shrimp saganaki, and lamb riblets. All very tasty and expertly prepared. What really did it though was the on point service offered by Mary (Maris). Her efficiency, attention to details, thoughtful presentation of the menu, was a 15 out of 10! She is a super star! We were delightfully surprised by the restaurant’s generous hospitality when they sent us a dessert sampler compliments of the house because we were out of state first timers. I only wish weren’t 5+ hours away, as we would be fast regulars for sure!“

“It’s a new place serving a new demographic, and for only being open about two months, they’re doing fairly well overall.

Most issues were operational. We were given a happy hour menu after the hours had passed, there was a small order mix-up that staff corrected quickly, and we waited a while for the bill. Arrival was also slightly confusing since the mall entrance was closed and we had to locate a rear entrance on our own.

Food-wise, the sashimi was average, the miso soup solid (4/5), and the snow crab roll was excellent and easily the highlight.

Overall, a good experience with some normal early growing pains. I enjoyed it, though it’s not somewhere I’d go out of my way to recommend just yet.“

“Wonderful service and outstanding food and drinks. Highly recommend.“

“Great place with excellent food. The location is a challenge. Parking needs updating for the area. The restaurant has an automatic 18% gratuity on the bill. Not something I like. But the dining experience is worth it. Try the Gooey Goose Bread. Delicious!!!!“

“The food was amazing and the drink was sooo good!!!!!“

“Delicious food and great service“

“Overall this is a good place to have Happy Hour. I am super disappointed that the charcuterie board was taken off the menu. It was the best! Bring it back please!“

“A 5 star casual dining environment!

We found ourselves in the area around lunch and decided to stop in at the Reckless Shepard. I’ve heard several people refer it but hadn’t gone myself until now. For casual dining, this spot is great. Spacious and airy, it boasts several long high tops, two seater high tops for a more intimate feel, bar seating and an area for a private party.
There is a stage with ample lighting to make any night of the week; the best night. Multiple projectors spanned the room with a soft glow coming from the big distillery room. The ambience was really cool. We certainly appreciated the 90’s nostalgic playlist of music videos playing just loud enough to know your songs but continue your conversation.

We ordered a pizza, fries, wings, latkes, and a Cobb salad to go with our margarita, hazy IPA, and blue motorcycle. Everything was fresh and hot and savory. The drinks were delicious and well portioned! You scan for the menu and add your items so we only experienced the server when food was brought out but he was super nice still.
I loved the sauce on the pizza, light and tomatoey and savory as well!

The bathrooms were large and clean and the parking was ample for a Friday. We would certainly consider hosting an event or celebration here!“

“We had a nice family dinner. The food was delicious you can tell the meals are made with fresh ingredients, the staff was great and the atmosphere was so nice especially for my child. We loved the meatballs, cheese pizza and the Nutella Angioletti Fritti! We will be coming back again for more family dinners.“

“Personally I really enjoy the vibe of this place

It’s quiet during the day, and bustling in the evenings

Great karaoke spot

It’s perfect for hitting it hard after a week at work, and the fish tacos are always stellar“

“Friendly fast service. Waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. Family birthday get together. Pleasant atmosphere! Loved the strawberry margarita! The grandchildren loved the chocolate Molton cake!“

“The service is great and the food is good.
Really enjoyed the pork belly over corn. The pork loin entree is also good. I'd recommend getting the honey ginger glaze on the side because I tend to put too much.

The Spaghetti Frutti Di Mare is a nice pasta dish. If you're not a fan of baby octopus you might ask them to leave them out.

The house salad with blue cheese is good, chicken wings.

I've had mixed reviews on the peppercorn ribeye.“

“Best Mexican food around. Friendly staff always know your name and preferences! Monday night trivia is the best!!“

“Finally, some flavor! Not the same basic food. Yom“

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

“Love this restaurant. Yummy tacos. Great location in short walking distance to the fabulous outdoor Merriweather Post Pavilion music venue.“

“Yes 5 dollar top shelf shots sometimes, bar tenders are wonderful n the bar food is great actually love this place“

“Had my daughters baby shower there on Sunday, Feb 22nd... Totally exceeded my expectations. We had the absolute best server, Lilly. She got everyone drinks upon their arrival and kept them all filled throughout the event...all by memory I believe. The food was fantastic...gotta say best Crab Dip around. Trevor was amazing and checked in multiple times to make sure everything was going well. I will definitely use Maggie's again for future events and would highly recommend them.
Thanks again Maggie's Staff and especially Lilly,

Cathy Virtz“

“Restaurant is clean. Four booths, one table and a couple of chairs at the sushi bar. They do NOT take reservations. Nota BYOB. They do have an Adult Beverage menu. Just ask for it.

The order came out quickly. Presentation and freshness is as good as Sushi Q2. Everything was delicious.“

“Ribs chicken and shrimp trio, the salmon was 2x that of other restaurants. The glory days sauce is perfect on anything. Large portions and great desserts! Glory days in eldersberg md is just right every night! The service good too👍 Thanks Casen you doing great“

“Man, I’m always swingin’ by this here joint for lunch, grabbin’ me a burger and some French fries.

These folks are quicker than a jackrabbit on a hot skillet, always gettin’ my order spot-on and keepin’ a hard-workin’ fella like me from starvin’.

I’m raisin’ both hands high for ‘em! Y’all gotta come check this place out, it’s the real deal!“

“beautiful view, good food, nice selection, well prepared courteous and friendly staff relaxing atmosphere“

“Went for the first time today. My server, Nicole, was so nice and accommodating. The music was turned down as I was the only customer at the time (I like to read while eating). Started with cream of crab soup, gently seasoned with a good amount of crab meat (had just a few shells but that comes with real crab). Tried the Brussel sprouts, half with balsamic glaze and feta cheese, the other half with sweet Thai chili sauce (both good with the balsamic just a tad better). Chicken Cheesesteak sub had a generous amount of real cubed chick on a nice sub roll. Plenty of food was brought home for later. I'll be sure to go again!“

“Definitely enjoyed the vibe and atmosphere and food“
