Crab pretzel, lettuce wraps, & home brewed beers are great. Blackened shrimp in the caesar sad was under seasoned. California salad had so much dressing it was almost inedible (get dressing on side).

The BEST burger in town! Oh and per my 9yr old son the BEST baby back ribs he's ever had.. Lol

Decor looking dated and falling apart. Ceiling plaster is peeling in the middle of the front eating room. Steak was just ok but maybe not worth the $20 I paid for it. Oh, and men's restroom is wonky.

The lunch menu is the best. Try to get a seat in the bar as you will get the best service and it is also really quiet!!

The corn fritters side is 100 times better than the cole slaw. Just do it!

I always start off with a Cesar. Their bacon cheeseburger with cheddar is delish. Also love the crab dip with soft pretzel. Yum.

Ribs are very good although I wish they just gave you the BBQ sauce on the side.

My steak ws over cooked, our waiter was not attentive and I am deeply disappointed. This was my favorite Ellicott City hangout.
