    Wish there was more garlic and cheese but still good
    Amy B.

    This might be my new go to pizza place. The grandma pizza was amazing!! Garlic knots were good wish they had a little more garlic sauce would ask for more next time.

    Was in the area and decided to check this spot out! Interior looked nice and the menu was affordable. A slice of pizza is 2.99. So my type of spot. When placing the order we had asked for two slices of cheese. But once we got the box It was 3 slices of pepperoni, but we weren't mad though. We were actually glad to have It. My first bite into the pizza, I was like ahhh basic, but the more I ate It, the more flavor I consumed and It was amazing on my palette. From the crust to the sauce It was perfection. The crust even had a sweetness to It. Overall it's a cool mom and pop type of places with fellas holding the pizza oven down. Definitely would recommend them. Makes me wonder what's the difference between this spot and places in the Big Apple.

    I picked up dinner the other night for my husband and I. We have ordered pizza here a few times in the past and loved it! It is definitely a popular place for pizza in the area. We ordered the Chesapeake wings. Delicious, maybe a tad too much seasoning but nothing you can't swipe off. I ordered the kid's chicken parmesan (shhh, I act like a kid sometimes!) I thought the portion was plenty for me. My husband ordered the Italian Sub. Definitely light on the meat. Although he would give it a great mark for flavor, he couldn't get past it only having one slice of each meat on it. We have tried Italian cold cut subs all over the place. Unfortunately, it is a common theme for them not to be super filled. I also got a side of fries. Nothing super fancy! Overall, the food here is delicious and I will continue to order and highly recommend checking them out.

    Ordered 14 inch pizza. Half cheese and half pepperoni mushroom. Ready for carry out in about 15 minutes on a Saturday evening.

    Small pizza shop located in Giant's shopping center. The pizza was good. Nicely sauced. However, avoid their chicken wings!!! I cannot believe I paid money for these. They were dried and hard as a rock. Barely any meat left and overly seasoned! I've had bad wings but these definitely took the cake. I don't know if I'll try them again.

    I have not had a meal at Two Rivers steakhouse in probably a year and a half. My wife and I used to…read morego there often when they first opened. But honestly, we thought it became too expensive over the years (maybe I'm just getting old). With that said, I sat at the bar (service was excellent), and ordered the 16 ounce prime rib, $55, with a Caesar salad and sweet potato, and mozzarella cheese sticks to start (~$10). I ordered a tea to drink, but requested a beer (~$8)with the steak. Total bill was ~$80. The prime rib was ordered and delivered medium rare, and was by far one of the best steaks I've had in probably three years. It honestly could've been cut with just the fork, no knife required, and was well seasoned. The sweet potato mash was well seasoned, without being over seasoned. And the Caesar salad was super crisp, and I happen to like creamy Caesar dressing. The mozzarella cheese sticks look like they're hand dipped (not sure) and very good. And delivered with extra marinara per request. The bartender even remembered to pour the Sam's seasonal beer (winter something, it was not the typical winter lager which i like as well) when the steak was delivered. I did not have to ask. That was really nice. Also, I did not have to ask for a refill on the tea, it just magically appeared. Plus, the appetizer, the salad, and the steak, we're all delivered at the right timing intervals. I did not feel rushed, nor do I have to wait. So, was it expensive? Maybe a little bit. But the service made up for it, and that's all the difference.

My only feedback is that the wonderful bread that is served with the crab dip is not enough for the amount of crab dip that you get. I asked for some more bread and they obliged but it cost us a few dollars. Wonderful views, superior service, and good food will have us returning to Sam and Maggie's Dockside.

    02/20/26 5 Stars **…read more Wife and I were in Annapolis for a doctor's appointment, and afterwards she asked, "Where are you taking me for lunch?" I jumped on Yelp and started searching. I had heard about a seafood place in Severna Park, but I wasn't in the mood for seafood. That's when I came across Betty Lou's. As soon as I looked at the food photos, I knew that's where we were headed. It was about a 20 minute ride from Annapolis not bad at all. Betty Lou's is located in a shopping center. There were a few cars in the lot when we pulled up, but I wasn't sure if they were there for the restaurant or other businesses nearby. When we walked in, there was one person sitting at the bar. We asked if we could sit there, and the bartender (don't remember her name) was very pleasant and welcoming. She thanked us for coming in, and when I mentioned I found the place on Yelp, she explained that everything is made fresh to order. They have an excellent selection of craft drinks on the menu, the assortment of cocktails and wines that look very good. My wife ordered an iced tea, and I had the Jimmy Red Old Fashioned. The drink looked fantastic, and she took her time carefully measuring each ingredient. That's how cocktails are supposed to be made balanced and flavorful, not just tasting like straight liquor. If I wanted that, I'd just order bourbon neat. For lunch, my wife ordered the meatloaf with collard greens and roasted potatoes. I had already decided on the chicken pot pie after seeing it online. I did find it a little strange they don't offer mashed potatoes as a side with meatloaf, that would've made it a home run in my opinion. When the food arrived, everything looked excellent. The pot pie was larger than I expected compared to the pictures, and the meatloaf was a generous portion as well. After the first bite, I can honestly say it was one of the best chicken pot pies I've had loaded with tender chicken, carrots, onions, celery, and a rich, flavorful gravy. And the pastry crust? The BEST I've ever had. It was big enough that I had leftovers for dinner. My wife's meatloaf was tender and flavorful, and the collard greens were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The roasted potatoes were just okay again, mashed would've put it over the top but that's just personal preference. She also had plenty leftovers for dinner. The food was great, the décor was nicely done, and the service was excellent. If this place were closer to home, it would definitely be a regular spot for us. We need something like this down in Calvert County. Overall, if you're looking for a great meal and well-crafted drinks, Betty Lou's is absolutely worth the drive even if you live a little ways away.

    We visited for the first time last night, Friday June 12,2026 @ 8pm. Based on all of the great…read morereviews I thought we were in for a treat. We were sat pretty quickly & our waitress was great. But half way through she handed us over to the bartender, who just seemed inconvenienced that we were there. My husband had just finished a beer when she took over (which was in a can, not a tap beer), she asked if he wanted another, he said yes, and brought some draught beer that definitely wasn't what he was drinking. We are very easy going, so that wasn't even the end of the world. But she wasn't very friendly so we just went with it. The food. We ordered rockfish bites for an app, chicken pot pie, bacon wrapped shrimp & Mac & cheese. I will say, everything came out quickly. Rockfish bites: Not only were they bland & salt-less, but not all of them were cooked all the way through. The bacon-wrapped shrimp were ok, but cold in spots. The chicken pot pie: This is the reason I came. Certainly you can't mess this up, seeing how my favorite pot pie is from KFC. My standards aren't that high. I wish I could add a photo to a low review. I've never seen the inside of a pot pie that was dark gray. It didn't look appetizing at all, but it's a pot pie so I'm not basing anything on appearance. Once I took a bite I realized that it was gray because there was SO MUCH ground thyme in it. Like they dumped a whole jar in there. It wasn't even edible. The Mac & cheese was really good, I wish I had just ordered that. Before you reply that we should have said something, we already felt like we were an inconvenience to the bartender & she didn't even care enough to serve the same beer that was originally ordered. We didn't even want to deal with her. So we chalked it up as a loss. Of over $100. This place is so cute, we really loved the ambiance & wanted to love the food. We definitely won't be back, but I don't think it's going to be around much longer anyway.
