    Chipotle Chicken Sandwich with sweet potato fries
    Monica S.

    We walked to Evelyn's before the navy football game and it was our first time here- they said we could seat ourselves when we went up to the counter. Took a while for us to get menus and we then waited again and again for someone to take our order, so we went up to the counter and asked to order. We got the "feed the navy" omelette and chipotle chicken sandwich. The omelette was a bit more enjoyable but the sweet potato fries that came with the chipotle chicken sandwich were yummy. Chipotle chicken sandwich was just alright. The fruit cup is an additional dollar if you choose that as your side. Overall, service was below average- food was average.

    Cute and tasty breakfast spot! The crustless quiche of the day was a crab quiche, which was very tasty and filling. Also ordered a vanilla latte which was pretty good and very sweet. They have a good amount of seating inside and some cute outdoor seating on the porch as well.

    My husband and I tried this restaurant for breakfast this morning. Based on the reviews, I have seen that often times there is a weight to be seated, so we made sure to be there when they opened at 8 AM. We were sat promptly and we're looking at the menu when people started pouring in. So, reviews were correct. I would definitely get there early or plan to wait. The restaurant is very cute. It looks like a house and is decorated with different kind of art. Our waitress was very friendly and personable. She brought us our coffee promptly and was back right when we were ready to order. My husband ordered the feed the navy omelette. It's full of meat, like steak, Italian sausage, and bacon. He said it was very good and flavorful. I kept it simple and ordered pancakes with chocolate chips. The pancakes are huge and they were not stingy with the chocolate chips.LOL Overall, we were pleased with our experience. If you're looking for a quaint restaurant, with friendly staff and a unique menu, you should definitely give them a try!

    Chicken and cheddar panini and fries - can't miss

    Evelyn's never disappoints - great food - professional service - reasonable pricing - great for breakfast and lunch - a West Annapolis treat!

    Came here while waiting for the Blue Angels and had great service, quick food, and a great atmosphere! I imagine parking can be an issue but it was a rainy day so we found street parking right out front. This place is huge! We came during the middle of the week so it wasn't an issue for us but would definitely recommend!

    Skip the corned beef hash.  Tough. Very fatty. Small portion. Not much going on here worth ordering it again.

    I'm glad this place is here, but I don't really like it. Service is friendly but inattentively slow. Breakfast platters are all underwhelming. The sandwiches and salads seem good, so I'd go there for your options. Fries are your fairest portion of sides. I keep trying this place because everyone praises it but I really don't get it. It is clean, it's friendly, it's not a franchise and it seems to create jobs for a lot of young adults in the area... kind of like, the neighborhood kid's first waiting job kind of place. So that's nice. The coffee is good but you have to throw out a lasso to get anyone to notice it needs refilled. Last time we were there we ordered 3 meals and 2 of them were wrong. It was just poor order entry by the waitress. I like going out for breakfast. It is one of the easiest meals to make at home, but it's a treat and you want to be served something at least as good as you could make it and hopefully better. The egg platters are so minimal and boring. The potatoes are a small portion of, I think, fried potato cubes mixed with onions and peppers. Meat portion is small also. I got the hash one morning and the corned beef was so tough, overcooked and fatty it was indelible. The person who cooked it clearly had no pride in what they were serving. That said, I have seen food go past that looks better than what I order. There is a fried goat cheese salad that looks nice. Some of the sandwiches are fair portions and if you get fries it's a good sized meal. The cuban, some sort of grilled chicken sandwich and the burrito all look good. After 4 visits, though, I think I'll take a break from Evelyn's for a while. There are a lot of breakfast/lunch places I like better; Chick & Ruth, Iron Rooster, Blue Rooster, Naval Bagel, and even the Sunday brunch at Cantler's is a nice portion and service. (That's a winter '24 special. Call to see if that continues)

    My husband and I ate here for breakfast it was good! It seems busy no matter the day of the week but street parking was nice

    Smoked salmon plate
    Charles M.

    This is a quaint and unassuming little breakfast restaurant in Annapolis. I tried to park on the street but there was nothing available so I parked across the street. Upon walking in it seems homely and there is a chill vibe. They told me to sit wherever I wanted. I was brought a menu and decided on smoked salmon. Its presentation was more like a deconstructed sandwich. I didn't really enjoy the food but that's my fault for ordering the wrong item. Next time I will grab something else. It seemed like everyone else was enjoying their food.

    delicious breakfast! huge variety and the sweet potato biscuits are amazing:) The menu has some updated items, the huevos rancheros are always a classic and the variety of quiches never fail to please:)

    A great Father's Day spot for brunch!…read more Ordered the strawberry avocado toast, which was unexpectedly delicious and refreshing! My husband had the smoked salmon avocado toast and it was so filling he couldn't finish it! We got the kid's meal for our child, which I'm assuming he enjoyed very much as well? He was speechless for sure the fresh-made poptart was pretty good! Many thanks to Huey for taking care of us! Our seating was upstairs with other families also there for Father's Day, but seating was much quicker than I thought :) It was a little pricey for two adults and a toddler, but it was worth the visit go check it out!

    Went to Iron Rooster recently and overall had a really good experience. We started with the BBQ…read moreRooster Bites and they were honestly delicious. They are definitely lighter on the sauce, so if that's your preference these are perfect. Personally, I like my wings a little saucier, so I would probably ask for extra sauce next time. The chicken itself was fried perfectly and the portion size was pretty solid. For my main, I got the buffalo chicken wrap with no buffalo sauce and it was amazing. The lettuce, guac, and pico all tasted fresh and paired really nicely with the breaded chicken in the wrap. My only complaint with it is they go pretty light on the guac and pico, so I wish there was a bit more of both. The pricing overall was fair too and didn't feel over the top for the quality and portions. The fries that came with the wrap deserve their own mention because they were phenomenal. Crispy golden brown on the outside with a soft, fluffy inside. Honestly, I'd come back just for the fries alone. I requested outdoor seating when making the reservation and they have a really nice outdoor section with a great atmosphere and view. They did a good job with the space they had, but the tables are pretty close together, so you can hear basically every conversation around you. The chairs were also a bit smaller and not the most comfortable for longer seating. Service was great all around. Our server was very polite and even helped my very undecided sister choose her meal. Everyone was friendly and it definitely feels like a nice place to bring friends or family. My only real complaint, and honestly this applies to a lot of places nearby, is the parking. It was pretty rough. Other than that, definitely a place I'd come back to.

I made a takeout order and got the crab cake omelette (w/ a biscuit) $18.29, legendary scone: Blueberry $3, single blueberry pancake $2.89, single maple bacon pancake $2.89, and single cinnamon roll pancake $2.89. - The crab cake omelet was my 2nd favorite as they surprisingly didn't skimp on the crab additions. The biscuit was just alright, but luckily it's best once combined with omlette to make a good sandwich. - The blueberry scone was probably my favorite, as it was pretty good. It was moist, fresh, and well done. - The trifecta of pancakes ranged from just okay to decent, and my ranking would go blueberry, maple bacon, and then cinnamon roll. For some odd reason, the texture of the cinnamon roll pancake was notably inferior to the other 2. Overall, my experience was quite a good one due to the scone and crab omelet delivering the most. -- #issa.cheatday

    We had a really nice dinner here…read more We tried the mushroom appetizer and the old bay pierogies both were really good. The ribeye steak was fantastic and the sauce complimented it really well. For drinks we had the rum and gin. The gin drink was fruity and my favorite out of the two. The desserts I would give probably 3-ish stars. We had the almond cake and it didn't have much of a taste and the whip cream that came on the side must have been accidentally mixed with something that had processed onions because it had a really strong onion aftertaste.
