It wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad either. I had the salmon with pineapple salsa. It was a weird combination but what made it more weird was that it was served with mashed potatoes. No rice? The crab dip was pretty good. My brother had the salad with the Buffalo chicken strips. The greens looked to be very fresh. My waiter basically ignored me. Maybe because it was a large party. But I found it odd that I was the only one he chose to not garnish the water with a lemon wedge. Am I being petty? Yep. I went there about 5 years ago and vowed I wouldn’t go back. At this point I would go back.

This unassuming sports bar and restaurant on main Street Catonsville was a great surprise. Just off the beltway, there’s parking behind the restaurant that is a little challenging, but it’s free. I had the best lump crab cake I’ve had in a long time. The onion rings were crisp and crunchy, not the least bit soggy or greasy. My friend had a cup of cream of crab soup that she said was delicious.

Bar typically has an older crowd. They serve a lot of food, Quaint, tight feeling bar with character in its layout.

Great little place. The food was very good … the only thing that kept me from giving it five starts was little minor nitpicky things for ME… like the mashed potatoes were tasty but a little drier than I would have liked. The steampot with shrimp and corn was delicious, but honestly the corn tasted like 100% old bay with zero corn flavor but overall not worth complaining about. The apple caramel cheesecake was to die for. The service was great and the atmosphere was pleasant. Definitely on our rotation for places to go when we choose to eat out.

This place used to be amazing. Food was also delicious and service was always prompt and friendly. I came back in recently after a hiatus and was very underwhelmed. Got chicken wings and onions ring side. Chicken wings were so so. Had a very off taste to them and were also not crispy as I had requested. The overall atmosphere was so so. Wish it was a more fun time like it used to be. 5/10.

Ordered a to go order, place was pretty empty…not really busy. Walked up to the bar and we were never acknowledged. We had to call out to the bartender to ask for our order. She took the payment without even giving us our food first. She didn’t hand us our bag, she roughly placed it on the counter, checked on the few patrons already seated at the bar and walked away. She didn’t even let us check our food for accuracy.

I was so excited to try this wrap. I had the California chicken club wrap which looked very good. However, avocado was forgotten, the grilled chicken had burned pieces that tasted very bitter and creamy ranch aioli was completely tasteless. Very disappointed today. The waitress at the bar was awesome!

Hands down best local bar/restaurant in Catonsville! I’ve been coming here for years an never once had an issue. Good prices, great food, very chill atmosphere unless there’s a game and then it can definitely get a little rowdy which is to be expected.

The atmosphere was okay, the room is rather small so it is all enveloped in a mirror to make the space feel larger. The server we had was nice but it must have been her first week, she didn’t know what was in any of the menu items, or the types of drinks available. That was off-putting when some members of our table have dietary concerns. I had to ask for to go silverware for the kids and their desserts 3-4 times. I ordered the crab cakes and there wasn’t much flavor in the crab cake which was disappointing; however, the asparagus was huge and flavorful. I felt the prices were too high given the bland flavor of the majority of the food.
