“Best Burger!!!Wow. Two 1/2 lb patties (1 lb). With cheese and crispy bacon.Tonight, I had their basic burger, JUST a real 1/2 lb burger. Super.Fries to die for. Crispy!Comfy booths.Parking: A lot a space for my big pickup! Love it.”
“The food was amazing! I love their skillet. It was piping hot 'til the last bite! The staff were very friendly and prompt. There was plenty of seating, and the atmosphere was very cozy.”
“Wow, just wow! Our experience at Light House Bistro in Annapolis was nothing short of extraordinary! We stumbled upon this gem for breakfast and were blown away by what we found.From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. Our server went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic dining experience.And let's talk about the food—oh my goodness, it was out of this world! Each dish was a flavor explosion that left us craving more. But what really stole the show was the open kitchen concept! Watching the chefs work their magic right before our eyes added an extra layer of excitement to our meal.The ambiance was simply amazing, and the vibe was so chill—it was like being transported to a bluesy paradise. Light House Bistro has definitely earned a top spot on our list of favorite breakfast spots in Annapolis!”
“If you are in Annapolis be sure to visit Leo. Sit at the bar, order a old school cocktail from Sam, and be sure to ask Ben about bottles from local distilleries. Excellent food, great drinks, and outstanding people.”
“If you are looking for a variety of good food and excellent seafood the Boatyard Bar and Grill is a wonderful location to dine.Parking: Friday night is a busy time to find parking. Parking is street parking only, there is no private parking or a parking garage.”
“Yum!! Pasta (Sacchetti Ripieni alle Pere in Salsa di Crema e Porcini) is fabulous. I had a yummy martini at the bar while I waited on my takeout. NOTE: Even the bar requires reservations on a busy night, so plan ahead. I could only have 1 drink and then had to relinquish my seat for a res.”
“Do not get the cheesecake for dessert! They get it from an outside source and it arrives frozen. You can tell by how it crumbles. The Graham cracker crust is too thick. Another give away it is round like a Puck.Everything else was great. The creamed spinach and the mashed are plenty for two or three people. The seafood Bisque is excellent.Good pour on my scotch. My wife got a cab save by the glass and thought it was great. The coffee after dinner was strong but very good.”
“I had been wanting to try this place out for a while. I went here for the first time on Saturday to get some work done. It was pretty busy & in the midst of me heading out after grabbing my order, I left my laptop case with my laptop & notebook inside. I didn’t even realize until the following evening. I went back Monday, spoke with Mykaleigh (not sure if I’m spelling that right), she called the manager that was in that Saturday & she came out the office with my laptop. I was soooo happy! Thank you to the team at Black Market and whoever found it to be kind enough to turn it in. We got a good laugh out of it & I got to try the Carrot Cake Scone Will definitely be back!”
“We recently hosted a baby shower party for our daughter at the Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge in Annapolis. The staff made this event incredibly memorable, and it was easy to arrange and pull off. The food and drinks were fantastic, and the service was the best. Thanks so much to Tom Hanna and his staff. :-)”
“I had the pleasure of visiting a family-owned restaurant in Annapolis yesterday and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The customer service was impeccable and the staff, including a young boy who is also learning, were incredibly kind and welcoming. I was thoroughly impressed with the authenticity and quality of the Vietnamese cuisine - it was simply delicious. Even though they recently opened their doors, I have no doubt that they will thrive in the future. If you're looking for a wonderful dining experience, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I know I'll be back!”
“So happy that SOB is back and better than ever. The oysters are hands down the best in town. Lobster was great, but my favorites are still the octopus and smoked fish dip- waited 2 years and it was worth it. Best staff, great vibe, best restaurant in Annapolis.”
“Our favorite Sushi place in town!My husband and I love the teriyaki house! The food is always super fresh, aesthetically served and delicious.The waitress is very attentive and kind too, I definitely recommend stopping by.”
“I tried Blondies Doughnuts for the first time today and I LOVED them. I got the Snickerdoodle, Nutella Filled and the Banana Pudding doughnuts. As well as a Grandmas Sweet Roll cinnamon bun. Everything was so fresh and tasted delicious. Definitely going to make my way back to the Farmers Market for them again!!”
“Great coffee and baristas, but sitting as a family is a challenge.Kid-friendliness: Not that it isn't kid friendly, not much sitting space to sit as a family.”
“This was our second visit to Annapolis and our second visit to this wonderfully warm pub.Stopped by for a couple of Jameson’s and a properly-poured Guinness on our way to check out the next day’s festivities at SHAMROCK THE DOCK.Seamus, a great bartender (as was Brian and a lovely young lady with an incredibly upbeat personality), recommended that we try the corned beef poppers. Delicious! Great Irish music on the sound system and good convo with the barkeeps made for fine craic!Wandered off and came back a wee bit later for the lamb cheesesteak—a wonderful variation on the old Philly classic!Stayed for a bit to listen to a fine singer who was doing some Irish classics….wanted to stay longer but this old coot, after a long drive and a “few” pick me ups, headed off for some rest before the next day’s excellent celebration of the Auld Saint’s special day.The bride and I have been to Ireland many times…the decor…the bartenders…the food…the music…GALWAY does its inspiration proud!”
“Kudos to Carroll’s Creek for a superb wine dinner last evening. The food was so delicious, service was impeccable and was accompanied by great Argentinian wines. We always have really good meals here, but the dinner last evening was outstanding in every way. Thank you to the sommelier, chef, kitchen staff, and servers who made for such an enjoyable evening.”
“I wanted to stay in Annapolis but wasn't quite sure what I wanted to eat. Did a quick search and found this delight of a place. I was able to make reservations on the same day (Saturday) My wife and I arrived and were quickly seated. The restaurant has a nice intimate feel however this place was jumping. Tons of people inside with everyone having a good time. Our waitress was sweet. Made good suggestions and was very attentive. For starters we ordered the Crispy Calamri while my wife had a lemon drop for a drink. The Clamari was in fact crispy. Very solid crunch. The marinara sauce was PIPING hot. Good start to our dinner. The lemon drop was a good mix of alcohol and juice. They provide you the cup along with the remainder on the side. BIG TIME PLUS. For Dinner, I was starving. I ordered the Steak N Fries, along with the Rockfish and Not your Ordinary Mac & Cheese. The steak was delicious! Nice and juicy. Cooks to perfection. Fries were crispy. The Fish was tasty and the mashed potatoes were GREAT!!! The Mac & Cheese is definitely not ordinary. There was a tangy taste that I could do without. It was missing something but the rest of my food was so good I could easily overcook it. My wife ordered the Steak Brazil with mashed Potatoes & Broccoli. She also enjoyed her food. Broccoli was fresh. Mashed Potatoes were delicious. She preferred the filet cooked a little more but still ate them. I'd happily come back and plan on returning to J. Alexander. It was a great time. Great service, Wonderful atmosphere, and good food. I enjoyed myself.”
“Had a nice dinner place. It's good but there was a very long wait to get in. Parking is definitely a little extra tight. Food and service was amazing. It's definitely a cute spot to check out.Parking: Very tight”
“We had a table reservation, but ended up staying at the bar because we were having so much fun there! The bar team is super knowledgeable and personable...and make a mean cocktail! We had the deviled eggs, mussels, and pizza...all outstanding. If we lived locally, we'd be regulars for sure! p.s. the deviled eggs were the best we've ever had...yes, they are that good!”
“We ate there for the first time for my birthday dinner this evening. We were very pleased with everything and plan to return.To start those corned beef poppers(chef kiss). I highly recommend and the serving is perfect for 2 people to share. We also had the brussel sprouts. I loved them even though they were spicy. I don't do spice but they were delicious and I kept eating them. I loved the potato leek soup. The flavor and texture was fantastic. I had shepherds pie and my husband had bangers and mash. Both were very good. We ended with bread pudding and baileys chocolate mousse. As someone who is normally picky about bread pudding because restaurants usually cant get it right I am telling you, get the bread pudding. The egg custard and consistency of the bread is perfection. It brought back memories of my nanny's bread pudding. My husband did get one of the whiskey flights as well and he enjoyed them.Our server was amazing and I wish I would have gotten her name. All staff who we came in contact with were polite and very hard working.”
“We walked in late last night because I noticed they had gluten free (GF) and vegan pizza. The owner greeted us when we walked in and was very excited to make my pizza when he found out I was vegan/GF. He was proud of the level of care and compliance they adhere to when making allergy friendly options. He told us TropQ stands for “Ty’s Recipes Zero (0) Preservatives Quality.” The vegan cheese was outstanding - melted like a real cheese pizza! I will say that the thin GF crust was charred on the outside but soft on the inside, so each slice was a bit “floppy” when you picked it up. But it tasted very good. We will definitely be back!”
“First off, I never leave reviews but I need to today because this place is amazing. The outdoor bar during the summer is the best vibe and the short rib meat on anything and everything is GLORIOUS. I just ordered the burger to go and oh my…. This may be one of the best burgers I have ever had. From the toasted bun, the excellent medium rare temp, the perfect amount of pickles, and the sauce. YUMMO IN MY TUMMO.”
“Really nice lunch and smoked old fashioned cocktails -- our server Johnathan was fabulous despite working his tail off behind the bar as well. We opted for the sampler and an extra side which was more than enough to feed 2 adults.”
“We held our daughter’s Welcome Party before her wedding. I can’t recommend a better place for a gathering. Anthony and staff knocked it out of the park with custom craft cocktails individually chosen for the bride and groom. Guests complimented that they were the best cocktails they have had- especially the Aviation. They also created a chocolate rimmed mint flavored martini. We started working with Anthony several months before the event and I knew that we were in extremely capable hands. He took ownership of the event and suggested appropriate appetizers and desserts for the crowd. His enthusiasm for crafting the perfect event was much appreciated.He also catered a brunch for the bride and bridesmaids the next morning that was so beautiful and appealing. It was such a great weekend.”
“True Food is a go-to whenever you want a fresh and healthy spin on brunch, lunch, or dinner! The Edamame Dumplings are my fav, and the Tuscan Kale Salad as well as the turkey burger are also go-to’s!”
“This was my first time timing despite living in Annapolis for years. We never went because of negative reviews we had heard from a family member. I am glad we gave it a try because it was an amazing dinner date night. The ambiance / decor is beautiful, tables aren’t too close together, we were very comfortable sitting by a window. Our server was incredibly attentive and I even complimented him at the end of the night for his great service! As for the food we literally ate ever single bite - we started with bread service then apps we ordered the buffalo fried oyster - they were amazing. Dinner I ordered crabcakes and my husband ordered a lobster special. See my pictures for how beautiful the presentation was and it was delicious!!! Overall A+ date night and I would return!!”
“First off, I'd like to say they provide excellent service. I let them know that my daughter had a nut allergy. They were very mindful of this and got out a clean spoon and also took out a new tub of the ice cream flavor that she wanted. It was very much appreciated. I had the coconut chocolate chip flavor and it was soooo good. I loved all the fun and creative flavors that you could choose from. Not a whole lot of seating in there, but why sit when you could explore the area while eating your ice cream?”
“Food is consistently good and often exceptional. Fresh and not overly fussy. Service is friendly and unobtrusive. Pricing is a good valueParking: Usually parking is directly in front of restaurant. Wheelchair parking is available and it is really just a short walk from the farthest space. Occasionally parking can be full and there are free parking structures just across the street on this rare occasion.”
“30Mar.2024My first time here and our waitress was great. Kelsey makes you want to come back and enjoy the delicious German food.The IPA’s and wines we had were delicious. The Apfestrudel(how it is on the menu)was piping hot, delicious, and the side of ice cream blended so well. It is a healthy portion.Bavarian bratwurst on a salted pretzel bun and sauerkraut was so good. I didn’t even need to add mustard. The fried crab balls were hot out of the fryer and the mustard remoulade was good. The dill pickles were crispy in every bit.Great lunch and experience. We sat out in the Biergarten. The atmosphere was superb.”

“I've been around for 68 years, and am somehwat of an ice cream connoisseur, and this little place sells what might be the best tasting soft serve I've ever had. I've read that there are quite a few different qualities of soft serve, I suspect Shady Side Soft Serve uses top quality. Getting a cone, and licking it while hanging out in the parking lot (sitting on my tailgate) with the other relaxers there is a pleasant treat. As if I've gone back in time. No hustle, no bustle. Just chill. Keep this place our little secret. Thanks.”
