My wife and I first learned about this brewery several years ago when they had a collaboration with…read moreAstro Lab next to us which became Third Hill. We love trying new breweries where we go and this seemed like the best one in Columbia we haven't been to. I had high expectations but they by far exceeded it. This may be the best brewery we have been to. They have so many offerings and we loved everything. Some of the stuff is barrell aged and expensive but worth it. We also loved their taco offerings which includes some fun vegetarian options like like spicy fried mushrooms and fried avocado as well as our first ever bison meat taco along with mahi mahi, chicken tinga, and carne asada. We did not expect it but it may be the best tacos we've had. We had their seasonal strawberry margarita which may have been the best margaritas we have had along with an excellent local rose wine. Ambiance is nice and upscale for a brewery and our service at the bar was very quick and some of the most attentive we have had. We certainly look forward to returning.

The place was packed on a Friday evening and we eventually got two seats at the bar with the help of a friendly patron. The place is large, loud and lively. One of the side rooms is weirdly as bright as a school room. Speaking of weird this brewery is located in the back of an office park... The staff was friendly and hustling. I must say most of their beers are not my favorite. Too many sours and other beers that feel like they are trying too hard to be exotic. I tried their Shore pilsner and even that was a bit odd. I like lighter beers like pilsners, kolsches and hefeweizens so if I lived here I would try some of their non-beer options because I would be back for the food.

The eggplant is fried (or deep fried maybe) and has a really nice taste- the caramelized onions have a bit of spice to them and a reddish color and they go well with the Gruyère. The pizza is cut into 4 slices which are huge and floppy, that I need to fold it slightly, but it's still an enjoyable slice. The crust is really nice- usually I don't eat the whole thing but with this it's not overly thick or oily, and the ends are edible instead of being dense blocks of cardboard. The ambience inside is nice and it's best to come by for a pickup in the middle of a weekday when it's empty to get a quick order.

My wife and I ate here after finding it on Yelp. We were in…read moreColumbia, Md. to see a concert at the Merriweahther Pavilion. We decided to have an early dinner before seeing the show. We started with the fried calamari. The breading was light and the calamari was very tender. It was probably one of the best calamari appetizers we have had out of dozens of restaurants we have been to. For the main dishes, we had the rattlesnake pasta. This is a pasta dish made with rotisserie chicken, mushrooms, red yellow and green peppers in a Cajun Alfredo sauce. The sauce was not too spicy with just enough bite. It was excellent. I don't usually care for mushrooms but this dish was amazing. The portion sizes were huge. Enough, that we were able to make another meal for the two of us with the leftovers. For dessert we had the cheesecake with oreo cookie crust. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. She was helpful with suggestions. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and spacious. It is decorated with beautiful wood trim. The booths can easily sit six people each. The dining area is huge. I estimate that it can sit anywhere from two hundred to three hundred if not more guests. Soothing music was played throughout the restaurant. There is a bar serving mixed drinks and beer as well as soft drinks. The restrooms are spotless and just as beautiful as the rest of the restaurant. The rotisserie chicken is made fresh and cooked in a rotisserie pit right next to the kitchen. We will be going back with family to try their prime rib. Prices are slightly above average but warranted. You are paying for an elevated dining experience with both the food quality and ambiance. There is ample parking in a large parking lot. The restaurant also offers a separate dining area for special events with outdoor dining. I highly recommend eating at this restaurant.

I feel terrible for starting to eat my dinner before thinking to snap a pic as the presentation was…read morereally nice. Everything was bright fresh and inviting. But the taste is what really matters and Grilled Sesame Salmon didn't disappoint. Wow!! I thought British food was supposed to be flavorless. The Salmon was both sweet and spicy with the teriyaki bang-bang glaze. The jasmine rice cakes added the perfect amount of crunch and the vegetables were as fresh as they appeared. The pub side of the restaurant feels British with ornate wooden features and sounds of laughter from all around. The bartender are knowledgeable and engaging. Most importantly they made me a proper Makers Mark Manhattan filled to the absolute top of glass to top off an outstanding dinner.

So this review is going to be short and sweet, but with one VERY important note. Those of you who…read moreread my reviews know I typically review either really good or really "not so good" restaurants. I'm breaking my own rules, because I feel the 3.9 rating is pretty accurate, with one 5 star + exception. This was a business lunch and a convenient location so there we were. The duck fries as an appetizer were good but needed to be seasoned with a little more salt. I had a strawberry salad with some grilled chicken that was good with the greens, but dry as the desert with the chicken and borderline inedible. Here's the twist!!! My two compadres both had the grilled cheese and lobster sandwich. They both looked at me sheepishly and said, you f ed up!!! William was kind enough to break off a substantial bite and let me try it. Angels sang, children wept, and I almost passed out! It was the kind of perfection we all agreed we would have eaten 5, maybe 6 of these unnaturally awesome sandwiches until we passed out! 3.5 Star service, 4 Star ambience, and some 10 Star bites! Cheers, JimG

Sports tvs. Easy prices. We grabbed a $6 Leinenkugel draft and a $4 Natty Boh draft. A couple of classics from their full bar. We grabbed a $13 Tri-Merica Burger & Ceasar salad combo special, and a $15 cheesesteak sandwich. With their app membership, we got 10% off the food. I love me a deal :-) They cooked the burger to medium as-requested: Juicy, savory, with American cheese, lettuce, chopped onions, dill pickles, ketchup and mustard. The Caesar Salad was fresh with crunchy lettuce and crunchy croutons. Just right. The Glory Days Cheesesteak is basically a Philly: tender thin grilled steak, grilled onions, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, white American cheese, and an Amarosa bread roll. Great flavor with fresh toppings on a well-stuffed sandwich. It's a nice homey place. We ran into friends we hadnt seen in weeks! It was a pleasant relaxed evening, with good food, cold beer, sports, reasonable prices. (By the way, the street address on Yelp is correct: a strip-mall on US-40 just east of Centennial Lane. It's just about behind the diner. But the Yelp map shows the wrong location as of Jun 2026.)
