    Awesome Everything Bagel
    Elaine F.

    This was my first visit to Blue Rooster Cafe (although I used to love its sister restaurant, Soul). I just stopped in to wait for a friend who was having a PT session up the way. The coffee was great and the everything bagel was soft & fresh, with a big slab of cream cheese. The young woman at the register was very friendly. I wish it was just down the block from my house so I could go more often, but I'll be back!

    Best shrimp and grits I've eaten in a restaurant. The coffee is brewed properly; coffee drinks are prepared carefully to order. The sammies are freshly made and satisfying. When going to the shore, I'll be getting off Route 50 and stopping in here for some sophisticated eats.

    We've lived in the area for a while and never got around to visiting this restaurant. I'm glad we finally did. The Blue Rooster Café is very cute, the staff were friendly, and the food was great. We stopped in for a late breakfast and chose the steak & eggs, shrimp & grits, and the Works on a croissant. Everyone loved their dish! The dining area is nice and cozy and you seat yourself after ordering at the counter. There were several items on the menu that sounded great so we'll definitely be back. We also plan to purchase their coffee beans as the coffee was fantastic. Overall, a very good experience and I know that this will now become a regular stop for us.

    One of our go to local spots! My son loves it! I often get breakfast to go and order it online and pick it up. The staff is great and it's a cute little restaurant! We have loved everything we have ever got. They also have always ice cream now which is amazing!

    1st time here - likely last time here too. The food was really good but the service and the large amount of flies that were very bothersome diminished the experience. The Cubano sandwich was very good. Very tasty and a large sandwich accompanied by Old Bay fries made for a very good lunch. Also tried the strawberry shortcake pancakes which tasted great! The service was absurd. The young man taking the order missed items as I ordered and then forgot to finalize them, leaving a missed item. Another employee came from the back to assist so maybe a new employee but pretty unbelievable considering there was no one else in line to order so should not have been overwhelmed. The flies. I noticed a couple of flies when I first walked in but it is a restaurant so not totally unusual. I washed hands in the bathroom and discovered I was surrounded by a large group of flies, even though there was a hanging, paper fly strip in the bathroom. Upon sitting down at a table, the flies attacked and didn't stop. Every bite of food was accompanied by numerous flies attempting to land on the food. There was no end to it. I would say there is an infestation. I would give the food 5 stars but the overall experience was a 3 due to the service and the flies.

    Passed by this little place and finally made it in. I'm glad. The food was tasty and the ambiance was quaint. We enjoyed a light lunch, just before closing. The staff didn't hurry and that resulted in two magnificent dishes. They also didn't rush us out! We only stayed a couple of minutes past closing.

    Do they use fresh blueberries or are they the equivalent of Denny's or IHOP in their pancakes?

    Hi Scott. Thanks for asking. We always use fresh blueberries in our pancakes. The local produce has been amazing this season.

We arrived to a mostly empty restaurant with lots of available seating...or so we thought. After waiting several minutes at the front before the hostess returned to seat us, we were taken to a booth that was imminently next to other guests and were informed the next both over, entire row near the back and the entire row next to the patio were reserved (for a parties that didn't arrive the entire time we were there) when we asked if anywhere else was available. Avoid the air fried chicken products - the chicken tenders and chicken sandwich were both paper thin and extremely dry. Our server seemed as though she would rather be anywhere else than serving our table, food was delivered by someone in a "chef's" coat, drinks were refilled by another server who happened to be walking by and noticed our glasses were empty and a manger checked in on us (who we shared our concerns with and who offered a replacement option) all while our server took care of another table, or sat in a private dining room at the back of the restaurant chatting with other staff. As for the ambiance - there really isn't any other than open and bright? Maybe it's better later in the evening or on the weekend, but as far as week nights - it's fairly mainstream. We keep returning to True Food as the healthier option hoping that the service, food quality and execution will someday match the price and location; however, this was likely our last experience.

    Alexa play "So Easy (To Fall in Love)" by Olivia Dean…read more It's so easy to fall in love with anything that's beautiful, peaceful, and just plain good and that's exactly what Kent Narrows is. There's something about the water, the breeze, and the quiet charm of this area that settles your spirit in the best way. A good friend of mine lives on Kent Island, and honestly, the best way to visit Bridges is by boat. Pulling up to a restaurant by water just hits differently. But don't worry you can absolutely drive here too, and the experience is just as lovely. Restaurants by the water are always a plus, but Bridges brings more than a view. It brings that easy, coastal energy that makes you want to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and enjoy where you are. The kind of place where good food, good company, and good scenery all meet at the same table. Bridges Restaurant brings exactly what you hope for when you escape the city for a moment of calm; beauty, peace, and a reminder that life feels better by the water. Service is always great! I literally said this past weekend that this has to become a monthly occurrence! It's too good and too beautiful to just come once a year! Let's get into it! Stuffed Pepper - Amazing!! Thanks to the waitress for hyping these up. Seafood Tacos - Delicious! I would definitely get these again and would try the Mahi Mahi kind or whatever fish they have! So freaking good! Brought Hawaii Maui vibes back. Ancho Rockfish - Fish was excellent, grits were not a fave. Watermelon refresher - YES! These are dangerously good! I'll be back! And soon! Cheers! Perfect day activity for all you love birds! Romantic!

The hostess and waitress were so kind, friendly, and accommodating! They brought out a water bowl for our dog. We ordered the whole oysters flash fried (special of the day), the shrimp and grits, and the shrimp salad sandwich with island fries (upgraded for 3.50). The oysters were fantastic. Freshly fried and super juicy. We loved them. Our sandwich and shrimp&grits took a while to get to us, but worth the wait. The shrimp in the grits were massive. My husband couldn't finish it all. The shrimp salad was stellar. And the brioche bun went so well. I will say the island fries had a spice we didn't love. The queso dip it came with was good. Didn't love the chili aioli it came with. It was weirdly sweet. I'd probably stick to the regular fries next time. Service is a little slower than were use to, but it definitely fit the vibe of the area. Just low key and relaxing. We would definitely come back!

The atmosphere, a converted house, is charming and intimate but not crowded. Service was prompt and friendly but professional. We started with drinks, a Bloody Mary ($12) and a virgin coffee cocktail ($6.) We then ordered Crème Brûlée French toast for the 4-year-old, which ended up being a shared appetizer since it was way too decadent for one person: slices of pan-toasted croissant, nutmeg-scented custard sauce, real whipped cream and fresh berries ($18.) My husband enjoyed the steak and eggs, a 6-oz tenderloin with two eggs, potatoes and toast for $24. I got the Caesar salad with salmon, which I'm going to give you a few details about because it was the best Caesar salad I've ever had, and I order a lot of them! Caroline's has basically fixed all the common problems: local, fresh mixed greens in lieu of ribby Romaine, sharp house dressing on the side rather than too much of that mayonnaise-based nonsense, croutons browned in butter instead of the stale boxed kind, and added interest from thinly sliced avocado and perfectly ripe diced tomato. The salmon portion was generous (bringing the overall price to $24; again, very reasonable right now) and cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and meltingly tender within. There's really nothing that needs improvement here. Just please visit and support this uniquely delicious local business! We will definitely be back next time we're in town.

When I tried to use them at the Severna Park store, I found that they had already been depleted. The employees there looked into it, confirmed there was an issue, and suggested I contact Rise Up customer service. I took pictures and sent the exact card pictures to the email website as directed. Also, it takes them a good minute to respond to an email just an fyi. After reaching out, I was told their records showed a zero balance, but no meaningful explanation or resolution was offered. What makes this especially concerning is that all four cards appeared to have gone from their full value directly to a zero balance, rather than being used gradually for coffee purchases. That seems unusual and left me wondering what happened. I appreciate the helpful staff at the Severna Park location, but I was disappointed that customer service didn't investigate further or offer any assistance. I hope Rise Up reviews its gift card processes and does more to help customers in situations like this. I should add that they suggested for me to go and ask the person I received the gift cards from which was students...I am NOT going around guessing which students/their parents about a past gift cards. I won't be recommending gift cards from Rise Up and will be honest about this place so my coworkers are aware not to put this as a favorite for a gift or treat!
