This review is a little late, however my other half and I dined in late June. Not only was the food exceptional, but I wanted to highlight that our server, Joshua, was extremely nice and most of all humble and even entertaining. This was our first time dining here as we're from out of town.Thank you to the establishment and especially Josh for making it an awesome experience! read more

Yes, came into your restaurant and had a birthday dinner with one of my best friends. The food and service was very good. Shout out to our server Lauren M, and her assistant. I could not remember her name. Great service. read more

We went for a huge family brunch. Here is the lowdown: On Sunday, they have an all you can eat brunch. The food is fantastic. They have omelette stations, a hot station that has regular breakfast stuff like bacon and scrambled eggs and potatoes. They also have a carving station with prime rib and honey ham. A chicken and waffles station and an oyster bar station with peel and eat shrimp. The service is impeccable. Not only was our server attentive, bringing drinks and asking if anyone needed anything, but also the servers at every station were really great as well. The place was beautiful. The wall art was great. It was very clean. It was very rustic yet modern. I would definitely go again. It is also really great for people that have a wheat or gluten allergy as there are so many options. read more

Yesterday, we celebrated one of our family members with a college send-off dinner! We had a party of 13, so we ordered a variety of appetizers, entrées, and drinks. I wasn't able to capture a photo of everything we enjoyed, but I did get pictures of most of the dishes! First, I have to give a shoutout to our server, Kaitlyn. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Large parties can definitely be overwhelming, but she handled our table with ease and made sure everyone was taken care of. For appetizers, we had the wings and lobster tails. The restaurant also provides biscuits with butter, which were very tasty. The lobster was fresh and flavorful, while the wings were cooked perfectly. No complaints there! For the entrées, we tried a little bit of everything. The **Chesapeake Pasta** was flavorful and enjoyable overall. My only complaint was the portion size. At around $38, I expected a little more pasta, but the dish itself was satisfying. The **Pot Pie** was probably one of my favorites. The presentation was adorable, served in a mini cast-iron pot, and it really gave that cozy, home-cooked-meal feeling. It was hearty, comforting, and flavorful. The **Chicken Salad** was HUGE and definitely filling enough to have leftovers. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the sauce was really good. Our waitress explained that it was a tiger sauce, which added a nice flavor to the dish. The **Lemon Linguine** was probably the least popular dish at the table. Unfortunately, it was a little dry and could have used more sauce. Some of the ingredients, like the peas, also felt more like an afterthought rather than being incorporated into the dish. It wasn't terrible, but I would give this one a **2.5/5**. We also ordered a side of **Brussels sprouts**, but unfortunately, they came out extremely charred. We sent them back and ultimately decided we didn't want a replacement. I was a little disappointed that they were served that way in the first place. The **Crabcake entrée** was another solid choice. The crabcakes themselves were tasty, and the potatoes were delicious. My only critique was the creamy spinach underneath the crabcakes. It felt like it could have been incorporated a little better, but overall, the dish was enjoyable. And of course, we have to talk about the **drinks!** My personal favorite was the **Blueberry Lemonade**. Honestly, you can't go wrong with the lemonades -- blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, or the original were all crowd-pleasers. The **Tequila Sunrise** was another table favorite! Overall, we had a great time celebrating our college graduate and enjoyed getting to try so many different things on the menu. There were definitely a few standouts and a couple of misses, but the experience was made even better by having such a great server. read more

This place is beautiful. I requested a drive around to the back to get a view. I will not spoil it for you. If you go here, you need to see it. We made it for Happy Hour. It's only in the Bar area. Website says Mon- Fri but the menu inside says Monday-Thurs, 3-6. The food was great. Let's start with the complimentary biscuit. I did not ask what it was made of but with guessing, it seems like cheddar and rosemary served with butter with chives mixed in. We had the Artisan Rib pizza. It did not have a base sauce. If so, it was not much. It had what tasted like and aju sauce on top. This was a surprise to me because it didn't have this listed in the description. The caramelized onion was such a great addition to this pizza. I am a sauce girl. I had a bit of extra Ceasar for my salad and used this as a sauce. Yep, made it perfect. The Ceasar Salad...let me repeat. The Ceasar Salad. It was so good. They have rolled oats instead of croutons, pumpkin seeds, and toasted Almonds. What a great combo. The Crab cake Sandwhich was also very good. Love the Comeback sauce. I feel fries have been mishandled these days. There is nothing like a fresh cut fry. They guve a heaping serving if fries. It was Thursday that we went. They have daily specials. We had already ordered our food before realizing we wanted a Salad too. Had I known that there was a salad special, salad and a Protein for $18, that would've been my meal. We just got the Ceasar without the protein. This place is one you have to come more than once. Then switch it up for Happy Hour, dinner, and brunch. read more

My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch after I found Blackwall Barn on Yelp a while ago. We were only a few minutes down the road, so it was the perfect time to give it a try. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and the bar area is very inviting with plenty of seating. They also have several large rooms that can be reserved for parties and events. They offer a Sunday brunch, and our waitress told us reservations are highly recommended. They do accept a few walk-ins, but to be safe, it's best to make a reservation. I believe she said the brunch buffet is $48 per person or $62 with mimosas included. Our waitress was excellent and took the time to answer all of our questions. My wife had a Coke, and I ordered the Smoked Sugar Sour Cherry Old Fashioned ($15). The drink was excellent and definitely worth trying. For lunch, my wife ordered the Chef's Fresh Catch of the Day, which was halibut served with rice, green beans, and a lemon sauce. I ordered the Lodge Burger ($18), topped with Hooks 3-Year Yellow Cheddar, Million Dollar Bacon, grilled Vidalia onions, butter lettuce, tomatoes, comeback sauce, and served on a brioche bun with Barn Fries. While we were waiting for our meals, our server brought us complimentary cheddar Old Bay biscuits, and they were delicious! When our meals arrived, everything looked great. I cut my burger in half and found it was overcooked. I ordered it medium, but it came out closer to well done. I also noticed there were only two small pieces of bacon. Since it was half-price Burger Monday, I'm not sure if they used less bacon because of the special, but the bacon was one of the things I was looking forward to. Even so, the burger was still very good, and the fries were ok need to be cooked a few more min. To be a 5tar restaurant the fries should have come out perfect it wasn't busy. My wife's halibut was cooked well, but she thought it was a little bland. It had enough salt--if anything, it needed less salt and a little more seasoning in the breading. The rice and green beans were both good. For dessert, we took a slice of peanut butter pie home. It was good, but we both thought it could have had a stronger peanut butter flavor. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. From the warm greeting when we walked in, to the excellent service, good food, and the manager stopping by our table to check on us after our meal, we felt very welcome. They also have a great happy hour along with food and drink specials every day of the week. Our server even told us about a few new restaurants that are being built. We really need a place like Blackwall Barn in Calvert County--it would be a great addition with its excellent service, daily specials, and quality food. We'll definitely be back! read more

I wanted to go to a place I haven't been before, the reviews her were above par. So of course I checked it out. So here it goes.... The place is beautiful from the outside, and much bigger on the inside if you take the walk to look around. When you enter it seems tight because it is. First recommendation, reserve a table in advance they get very busy on the weekends. The crowd was a good sign. Unfortunately the food was just okay, mediocre even. The shrimp and grits missed, and the pastas flavor decided not to show up to the party. Now the shrimp and crab cake which I did not have but my table mates didn't and they loved it. The. Header biscuits...I almost forgot, they were good but I want in love with the chive butter. And why did they ask if we were celebrating a special occasion, which we were and they don't give the honoree a basic dessert or something. That's neither here or there. Overall once this a 3, I'd go back and try something else. I wouldn't order the pasta or shrimp and grits again. read more

Wow, wow, wow, this place is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service was great. My husband and I had a great date night and enjoyed some live music while having food at the bar. I will say this: the restaurant was packed on a Friday at 6pm, and reservations are highly recommended. I will give big props to the restaurant management for your bar chairs. My husband and I are always reluctant to sit at the bar because the stools are so uncomfortable, but not here; they were so comfortable, I felt as if I was sitting at a table. Thank you for that. To the food... we had a solid French onion soup, very cheesy. A super flavourful and so tender steak, and the Chesapeake pasta was creamy, and the flavor was like a combination of a lobster bisque and cream of crab. Very good. We are looking forward to returning. read more

We've been to Blackwall several times and it keeps slipping down a notch. My wife got the risotto and she felt it was too salty. I got the short rib sandwich. It was a bit bland and under-seasoned. I know that seasoning is a personal preference. However, the sandwich also seemed very dry for a braised beef. The service is still good but I feel like they're struggling to keep someone good in the kitchen. We're going to give them some time before we go back. read more

Awesome. Vibe food service ambiance were outstanding. We were visiting family. Definitely will visit again.

First time to visit with a birthday celebration. The facility is top tier. The wait staff was superb. The entrees were unbelievably delicious. The soup, salad, desserts, were all amazing. Their crab cakes are filled with 5 oz of pure crab meat. Their biscuits with the garlic butter is criminal, it tastes so good. No other restaurant can touch those biscuits. Entire experience from start to finish 1000 out of 1000. read more

My first 5-star fie 2026! The experience here was flawless. We were immediately seated and greeted by our waiter Will(fantastic by the way), Who throughly went through the menu and specials of the day by memory. You can tell he takes pride in his job and customers. We started with the crab dip which was really good. It came with pita which was a little too salty so I ate the dip with the mini cheddar biscuits they give the table. I got the crab cakes with spinach and whipped potatoes. The dish was 10/10. My friend got the special which was sea bass with rice and a vegetable. Will saw that the piece of fish was a little small so he had the kitchen bring out another piece. That fish didn't stand a chance once It hit the table lol. I was able to take half of my food home(they give you 2 decent size crab cakes). The food tasted even better the next day lol. Service, atmosphere, food all deserve 5 stars. I will be back.....next week read more

Blackwall is a nice neighborhood spot with good drinks, good food, and chill vibes. Good for a casual meal, family dinner, or date night. Their happy hour is pretty decent with $5 wine by the glass, $9 cocktails, and half off pizzas. The place has a very cozy feel with fireplaces and a cute covered patio that is open year-round. Service is always good but it can get pretty busy so a reservation is a must, especially on a weekend. This visit we got the tavern burger and the NY Strip. The steak was cooked perfectly and was very tender and flavorful. My husband almost always gets the tavern burger and enjoys it. I didn't get it this time but I do really like the Chesapeake pasta. Lots of seafood and the pasta is made in-house. read more

Been here a few times especially for Sunday brunch like today!

Blackwall Barn & Lodge was seriously impressive. There was so much food--and all of it was good. They had everything from made-to-order omelettes and waffles to prime rib and ham. I'm talking options for days, and every bite delivered. I kept saying "wow" the whole time because the variety and quality were that strong. The drinks were a little sweet for my taste--I tried two mocktails--but the Americana coffee was really good and balanced everything out. The place was clean, the people were nice, and the overall experience was just enjoyable from start to finish. I'll definitely be back... this was actually my second visit, and it held up just as strong. If you like great food and lots of options, this spot is absolutely worth it. read more

The Blackwall Lodge - where vibes meet flavor. Thin-crust perfection topped with fresh greens and savory bites, paired with a citrusy cocktail that screams weekend mode. Chic atmosphere, great food, and even better sips - definitely a hidden gem worth discovering. 10/10 for taste, ambiance, and that just-one-more-slice feeling.

Zesty, sassy, and ready to mingle--this Lemon Chicken Linguini isn't just dinner, it's a whole vibe. Juicy lemon-kissed chicken chills on a bed of silky linguini, tangled up with snappy asparagus and sweet English peas like it's spring break on a plate. Garlic chips crash the party with a crispy mic drop, while the light lemon butter sauce ties it all together like a zesty love letter. Fresh, bright, and a little flirty--this pasta came to slay. Service was great. read more

This location always hits it out of the park. The atmosphere is cozy, comfortable and even can be romantic. The service is attentive and happy to share solid recommendations. For example, I was steered away from my dish idea and even my second to this solid performer. While it didn't need hot sauce, I wanted more zing. But the flavor and amount of "scrimps" were perfection. Prior to this was the hot crab dip which is a wonderful app here. Not all hot crab dips are created the same but this one is the right amount of crab and cheesy goodness. For whatever you're in the mood, make the trek here for an exceptional experience. read more

Blackwall Barn & Lodge - Shrimp & Grits - American Near Me - Gambrills, Maryland

Food ok organization is very bad.. The server/manager literally coughed on me while talking.

It was my first time visiting the restaurant. I went to a R&B and Jazz night. The restaurant was very nice inside. The customer service was good. The food was ordered: BBQ Wings, Barn Fries, and Maryland Crab Dip. The food was flavorful and good. I don't remember the drink I ordered, but it was good. They have a room where you can have events there. The bathroom was clean. The parking was a little problem, but a spot was eventually found. I think it was hard to find parking because of the event there that night. There weren't many people on the restaurant side. I would go back and try something else. read more

We visited the restaurant for my grandmother's birthday! The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice and the hostess immediately wished my grandma a happy birthday before promptly seating us. We ordered the crab dip and the calamari which were both very tasty. I had the shrimp scampi pizza which was delicious and my grandmother's birthday had the lamb chops which she said were the best she ever had! Our server Noah was knowledgeable about the menu and provided us with an excellent experience! He added a candle to my grandmothers dessert along with happy birthday displayed on the plate which I thought was a nice added touch. We will definitely be back as we enjoyed every minute of our time here! read more

My parents, uncle, and I went to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. We ordered the duck fat fries, fried green tomatoes, and the calamari for appetizers. We all ordered different entrées, and they were not as good as they previously were when we visited this restaurant. Our server was very friendly and gave great information about the daily specials that were available, but the pork belly was super fatty and Brussels sprouts were super salty. I will have to check out the other locations to see if the food is better there. read more

Visited on a gorgeous Saturday May night, seated in the open outdoor section. After looking over the menu and asking about suggestions, 4 of us shared the flaming crab dip, hot wings, and duck fat fries. The hot wings were the highlight, huge wings and a tangy not-really hot sauce. I would pass on the duck fat fries. My friends ordered the short rib and Chesapeake pasta, and loved them. I tried the chicken pot pie, which the waitress mentioned is a winter item and will be coming off the menu soon. The flaky top was flaky! The chicken was shredded with fresh vegetables. The base was a little more soupy than I'd like, but still very flavorful and I finished every bit of it. Highly recommend Blackwall Barn. It has very cozy interior, a vocalist and guitarist playing live music as well. We had a great time. Oh and the drinks were all superb. read more

Friend and I decided to take the drive to Blackwall Barn & Lodge because I heard the buffet style brunch was the best!! Little did we know they break down the buffet and hour before they stop serving. That was a disappointment but since we were already over there, we decided to stay for lunch. The server was really nice, knowledgeable and attentive which was a plus is staying! I was not impressed with the food and a lot of seafood items which I can't indulge in, which my friend got to try. She tried the crab dip and didn't seem all that impressed but also not disappointed. I went with the cajun, chicken-Sausage Alfredo and it wasn't bad but man they were stingy with the sausage! Lol Inside was very beautiful barn house style. The outside was a bit confusing because it looks like it could be a dentist office. Glad I got to experience and hope to catch brunch! read more

Food was delicious and our server, Joslyn, was very pleasant and attentive. I gave 4 stars because some of my food wasn't hot.

What a yummy spot in Gambrills! We stopped by for lunch after some golf in the area and were so pleasantly surprised. The interior is really cozy and feels very loungey. We got fried green tomatoes and complimentary cheddar biscuits to start. The tomatoes were so yummy and there was a pepper topping that had a kick/heat to it. The biscuits were sooooo good. Like an elevated version of your favorite cheddar bay biscuits. Service was quick and friendly and we sat at the bar but had several folks attending to us. We both got the vodka lemonade (peach and blueberry) and I found them both way too sweet. We tried the hot honey chicken sandwich which was 10/10 and the fries were so crispy. The kale and salmon salad was an amazing portion but the dressing was too sweet for me. Overall everything was enjoyable and I would definitely go back to try more dishes! read more

Love, love, love this place. My preference is always the outdoor bar, especially when the fire pits are going -- there's something about that setup that makes the whole experience feel more like a hangout than a typical dinner out. The food has been consistently great every visit, nothing ever feels like an off night. Staff matches that same energy too, attentive and easy to deal with from the moment you sit down. The ambiance really pulls it all together, between the fire pits, the layout, and the overall vibe, it's the kind of spot that makes you want to slow down and stay a while instead of rushing through a meal. read more

Great food and service. The ambiance was nice as well. James was our waiter and he made great recommendations!

This was my first time visiting and I had an amazing experience. We came for brunch on a double date and the food was 10/10. I got the espresso martini which was amazing too! (It's not on the menu though so you have to ask for it!) we were one of a few tables there so the servers were very attentive! The restaurant decor was also really cute and gave a cabin feel/vibe. I will be trying out the other Blackwall restaurants in the future! read more
