    10/10! I ordered the 2 smoked meat platter, and the meat was incredibly tender and flavorful. Great customer service and nice ambiance. Would recommend

    Half cooked on a griddle Brisket.  BEEF BRISKET PLATTER

    I am Sad. I recently ordered online from Bon-Fire Outdoor Charcoal via Yelp. Arrived early and noticed that they were cooking the brisket on a griddle like it was a strips of bacon. I wanted to order the 3 meat combo initially but opted for the 3 meat platter thinking that it would be a larger portion ($35) for 2 people. The brisket is oily with no hint of Brisket characteristics. More like thick bacon cooked on the griddle. I Am Sad... trying to support the local food chain and this happens.

    New menu prices

    Good bbq, sides, and sauces. Lovely service - they were so kind! Prices have gone up 10% (updated menu attached) and from what my friend who's frequented this place said the amount of meat has gone down, as with most restaurants. Definitely worth supporting this small business if you're already going out!!

    3 Meat Combo Platter  with brisket, pulled pork, bonfire bbq, Potato Salad and Pork and Beans

    Meh. That's basically how I feel about the food. Typically when I visit a place and I'm like 'meh' I'll give it another try to just to make sure they weren't having a bad day or maybe my tastebuds were off that day (you never know). I came back a second time months later and yeah it wasn't either of those things. Let's focus on the good. The ribs were moist and flavorful, I'd definitely ordered them again. Also the mac and cheese and collard greens were decent as well. Now the not so good items. Their pork and beans is not what you think is, it's various beans mixed together to make the traditional pork and beans I guess, yeah I'll pass. I love me a good brisket, and this was not a good brisket. It was dry and a bit rubbery. I also ordered the pulled pork and it was dry (how?!). I'm also not a fan of their potato salad, it's very vinegary and that's a bit off putting. If I do ever return I'd just stick to the ribs.

    Stopped by this place on a random drive. All their food looked delicious. I got the pulled chicken sandwich. While it was pulled but more small tender, the chicken was moist, and the sauce was really good. The beans were different but delicious with a slight vinegar taste. Mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy and they gave us a soup for free that was also very delicious. But that sweet tea and corn bread.... so good! Cornbread was like a little light cake. I'm from Georgia, so we like our sweet tea and the tea was delicious! My husband enjoyed his food, and said the turkey was amazing. Great random stop that I would visit again. Plenty of parking, prices were reasonable. Service was fast.

    I enjoyed my experience here, prior to the "Now". This is a kinda small, but kinda big restaurant. There isn't a lot of seating, but it feels big inside, with high ceilings and being very long. My pork BBQ sandwich was meaty, flavorful, tender, and delicious! It was a good portion, too. The side of fries were pretty good, too. The really cool surprise was the free soup it came with...the broth was just leftover meat of all kinds! Such a treat. I wish I could go here again right now.

    Burnt ends beef, greens, potatoes salad.  I crave their food.       Thank me later.   Get you some. $13.00
    Cheryl W.

    Yes. All of the above. I'm going back today. I eat there at least once a week. The service was great. The atmosphere makes you wanna dine in. But I was on lunch break. I give it 5 stars

    As a non-native to the area, found this place on the fly. Food is fresh, cooked and seasoned well, immaculately clean store/kitchen. Friendly staff and excellent customer service... I wasn't expecting such a great experience! Definitely adding this place as one of my favorite places to eat!

DJ Razor Sharp was definitely keeping the energy going on the 1s & 2s all night. The guests were super friendly and even took the time to teach my husband and I a few new moves, which made the experience even better. I had a yummy glass of prosecco. The deviled eggs weren't really my favorite, but the crab egg rolls, wings, and fries were all really good. And the pound cake? Absolutely immaculate. Great vibes, good music, friendly people, and good food. I'll definitely be back soon!

The food came at a reasonable time. Food was good but some things were much better than others. The skillet cornbread was heavily! Biscuits were good but the apple butter had a weird taste I didn't care for. I would have preferred them with jam. I also had the fried catfish and grits. The catfish was so good. The grits were good too but the gravy on the grits were a little salty and way too peppery. Because of that, I couldn't fully enjoy my grits. Also, for bottomless drinks (mimosas and sangrias), it would be great if they had pitchers and carafes because when the bar got backed up, some of the ladies at my table and I would have to wait for long periods for our glasses to be refilled. Overall, a great brunch. It has potential to be so much better. I do plan to return and I hope my next visit will be better.

    The food is always delicious here, sandwiches are piled high with a meat of your choice, cheese,…read moreslaw, tomato, and fries. Onion rings are super crispy and stay together well. The drinks were HUGE but not very strong. I did get a little plastic duck with my cocktail which was very cute, though. Despite being a Pittsburgh sandwich and bar restaurant, you would expect to see Steelers memorabilia, but the Linthicum MD location is full of Baltimore Ravens gear! The service was attentive and always around if you needed something. Food comes out quickly, I didn't wait more than 10-15 minutes for anything to come out. Overall, Food and Drinks: 8.5/10 Service: 8/10 Atmosphere: 7/10

    P is for Primanti Bros., representing 2024 in alphabet series:…read more I was familiar with Primati Bros. when I visited my parents in Lancaster. They live very close to a location there, and we got pizza to go when I was visiting them one time maybe in 2022. The pizza was very good as I recall. Then, I saw there was a location of Primanti Bros. opening in Linthicum Heights near BWI Airport, the first location in the Baltimore-DC area. They were having a grand opening on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, where the 1st 100 customers were going to get free sandwiches for year. I live about 13 miles from here, and I toyed with the idea of trying to be one of the first 100. But I opted against as even if I got there at 6 AM for the 10 or 10:30, whatever grand opening time, and there's still no guarantee I'd be the 1st 100. And I'd be pissed that I drove all the way there and stood there for hours to get nothing in the end. Not to mention, I had work too (although on average probably slower due to also Juneteenth holiday), which I could do from out there to a certain extent. Ultimately, I had emailed them, and they said the 100th customer got there at approximately 4 AM that morning! That's insane. This place really has a cult following! A friend, who knew I lived in AA County, loves this place and mentioned the idea of meeting up with me one Sunday to watch a Ravens game, and him and his fiancée (wife as of March 2025) went up there a few times to watch game or other reasons they went that way. On Thursday, October 3, 2024, like Juneteenth the holiday Primanti Bros. opened, it was Rosh Hosannah, and that friend who had off (as he works in a school & they get the Jewish holiday) off invited me to lunch with another friend of ours. My work was slow that day, and I needed to eat lunch somewhere anyway. I probably would've eaten lunch at home or close to home if they hadn't thought to invite me. So, I drove the 13 miles from home to meet up with them. Those two friends were kind of high. Well sure, it was a holiday they were off work. And they were hungry too! I was hungry too because well it was lunchtime. Service was prompt & friendly answering our questions. However, server was a bit of a klutz as she accidentally spelled some water got a bit on one friend. Geez, was she the one who was high?!...just kidding, it's just one of those accidents that can happen being a server. She was apologetic. My friend took it with stride having a positive attitude. I believe I got a pastrami sandwich, but could've been corned beef. Their sandwiches are big, pilled high with lots of meat & delicious too. I can really see why the following for this place with the quantity but also the high quality. Fries were plentiful too, which were also delicious. I ate well that day for lunch and was quite full. I went to an event that evening, and I think I just ate something small/snack for dinner that night after I got home around 9 PM. This was a great service with excellent plentiful sandwiches & fries and nice service.

Fair kids meal pricing too, with usual crayons and activity paper menu. If the server take nice group picture I would have rated 6! J/k.

The cocktails and mocktails were unique and tasty. 2 of our group loved the peach vinegar mocktail although I'll admit it was a bit too advanced for me. Everything we ate was prepared to a T, met or surpassed fine dining standards, and the desserts were amazing. You don't realize how crappy our capitalist dystopian nation's food has become with US foods and Cysco essentially monopolizing the restaurant supply chains until you get a chance to eat food made in house from scratch. The desserts here were so much fresher and more delicious than what you normally get at places that rely on the corporate food suppliers. I could've easily eaten every single dessert option and then taken one of each home. We didn't even have room to try the house made ice creams and sorbets. My favorite dessert was the pistachio apricot tart, so well balanced and very unique flavor contrast. The mango key line cheesecake was the groups favorite.
