    Jumbo Lump Crab Pretzel
    Heather M.

    So excited to find this spot! Another date night in Columbia and we gave Frisco Taphouse a try. So glad we did. There are two sections of the building. One side is the restaurant with a larger menu and quieter atmosphere. There is a large bar and a beautiful fish tank when you first go in. The stage area has black lighting so it is not very easy to take pictures of the items on the table haha On the other side is the Reckless Shepherd Brewery with a large stage for bands to play. We dropped in on a Tuesday night at 8:00pm and it was open mic night. There were two bands and three individuals that played both original music, and covers. One man played the electric guitar that took over the room! We absolutely enjoyed ourselves and the music. As for the food and beers, we ordered the Loyally Blonde, Mellow Howl IPA, Fundido Pizza and the Jumbo Crab Pretzel. The pretzel was smothered in creamy jumbo lump crab dip and had a beautiful crust on the bottom that held up and never got soggy. The pizza had very fresh Pico de gallo and chorizo with a great crispy yet fluffy crust. We really loved the food we got and would absolutely go back to try more. I have a feeling the weekends would be packed with bigger known bands so make sure you go in before the music gets going.

    So this is the restaurant side and there is another brewery side. Very typical bar food. The waitstaff is incredibly friendly. I had the March madness hotdog and the crab and pretzel dip. Again. Basic bar food but I would be back if in the area.

    I've always really enjoyed Frisco's menu in that it offers as many veggie / pescetarian options as full fledged meat....and the new digs make this place even better. Love that the place looks updated, open, bright, fresh...but the vibe is very 'come as you are.' Tshirt to button down shirts: all good! Stand outs: - French onion soup. This is the real deal. No mix, not salty. Might even venture to say it's my fave in the area!! - Moroccan coffee. We accidentally had the brunch menu stuck in our dinner menu but glad we saw this to order it. It's a much smoother, lighter, delicious version of an Irish coffee Solid: -crab cake sandy: solid crab chunks!! Suggestions: - whipped feta app: thought it'd be lighter..might be more accurate to call it creamed feta (like the cream cheese texture it truly resembles)

    Scallop special
    Melissa M.

    We had a friend visiting from MA and since we enjoyed lunch here the weekend before we thought we'd try dinner! There is plenty of space and they spread people out well. I got their scallop and Parmesan risotto special. It was really good! Although the scallops a bit small. R got the prime rib, which was good but would have been easier to deal with if it came on a real plate and wasn't placed on top of the mashed potatoes. Our friend got the tap house chicken sandwich and really enjoyed it. Although stated on the menu we later realized, our waiter asked her if she wanted fries, onion rings, risotto or a side salad and she chose the salad. We were just surprised at the charge on the check with the way it was presented by the waiter. We had to wait about 20 minutes after our food and drink cups were cleared before we could ask for our check. Thank goodness you can pay with the QR code because we wanted to leave. Otherwise this would be 5 stars!

    I really wanted to like this place as a new option for brunch but after two visits it's probably coming off that list. First visit chicken and waffles. The chicken was extra extra crispy as in overcooked and seemed to be more batter than chicken. Toast was served dry and we had to ask for butter. They don't offer jelly. Second visit Cajun breakfast skillet had no noticeable chorizo but was loaded with potatoes. So many that I just got tired of eating them. Again, our bread choice was served dry and we had to ask for butter. Would it be so difficult to just add it to the plate in the kitchen? There certainly was plenty of room on the plate for it.

    I've been here for brunch and lunch. They have bottomless mimosas for brunch. The atmosphere is great and they have two sides; one more quiet side that's great for a date where you can chat easily and a more club looking side with games. The food has been great and so has the service. Not to mention that they have California burrito with French fries!!

    Tiny salty soup
    G M.

    Frisco- Columbia I would like to say it was just a Monday in the kitchen, but....... the restaurant week menu was a complete disaster. The soup was ridiculously salty, I got the shrimp as a mediocre substitute (salty breading) The whipped feta was ok, not whipped enough for my taste, huge chunks. My lamb lollipops was still alive and kicking (medium rare was beyond rare!)re-fired! But the glaze reduced down to ...... dare I say it...... Salty Gravy glued to a shingle!!! The salmon and crab cake was delicious. and then there is dessert...... the bread pudding was excellent (wish the sauce was in a container) as we got it to go..... Then the chocolate mousse ..... grainy, more like wet pudding and the ice cream is cheap and generic this is definitely not at the price point. It is a cavernous restaurant and bar, seemed clean and tidy, until.... The men's room didn't have hand soap in the dispenser there is fuzzy stuff growing on the intake vent above the handicapped stall. the hallway to the restroom had a sticky spot that tried to take my shoe. All of this and there was maybe 5 tables and a few people at the bar. It was a ghost town on the "fun" bar area. Although we tipped 20% Our server disappeared more than a few times, them meal them way longer that'd it should have , even with the other problems. Yes we got a visit from the manager for the lamb (baaaaaaaaa) issue. Nothing subtracted from the check or maybe a gift card to try them again in the future. Don't try to message them on FB, they look but don't say anything.

    We went to checkout their new digs on Easter! Our bartender, Keith, was on his A game with drink and beer recommendations. We also went next door to take a look at The Reckless Shepard!

    Potato latkes with sour cream
    Farah K.

    I can only speak to the food i got delivered from Frisco and it was pretty good. I happened to notice on FB that they were advertising a birria weekend. Birria tacos, cheesesteaks, nachos, burritos. Having not sampled it yet, I got excited to try it out. Also ordered potato latkes cos why not? :p Food arrived packed well. Birria tacos came with consommé and it was delicious even warmed up after a delivery. The consommé really does make the tacos. The potato latkes came with sour cream and I had applesauce at home so that also made for a delicious meal, if eclectic between the two very different items we ordered. I hope they keep the birria tacos on their permanent menu! Also very good social media presence!

    Liked the sleek decor and open ambience. They had 3 TVs at the bar to catch all the Sunday football games. It wasn't crowded as we were there between lunch and dinner. Very friendly bar tender/server. The beers we tried were good - the option for a beer flight was not available though. The crab dip appetizer I ordered was ok and I liked the presentation - not very crabby flavored though and a bit spicy. But the BEST was the campfire brownie dessert ... homemade brownie, vanilla ice cream, toasted marshmallow and a delicious chocolate drizzle ... not overly sweet and just perfect jn every way! That brownie is worth another visit and I will try entree item on the menu.

    Dobbin Road cheesesteak
    Mia L.

    Recently, I've been having this insatiable craving for a cheesesteak. I've lived in Maryland for 6 years now and I still have yet to find a cheesesteak that is the real deal. I've been following Frisco Taphouse on social media and realized that they've been having these weekly pop ups for different items that typically aren't on the menu. Well today was my lucky day! Today (Friday) was their cheesesteak day. They have about 5-6 different types of cheesesteaks to choose from. I ended up getting the Dobbin Road cheesesteak which included provolone, sauteed onions, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. It was cheesy. It was drippy. It was perfect...at least for now. I ordered my food to go by telephone. They provide you with several options so you can make the experience as contactless as you want. I was given the option to pay over the phone or at the restaurant. I was also given the option of curbside service or coming into the restaurant. Frisco Taphouse is currently open for indoor and outdoor dining. The tables and barstools appear to be socially distanced and they have clear plastic shields up between some of the seats. The servers who assisted me provided solid customer service and I had an overall good experience.

"My daughter, S A M," Shaw signs back, "playing guitar," as he makes hand motions. "Being able to hear that." "You don't need to. Every spring, I go to the Boston Pops." "Why?" Frank asks disconsolately. "To watch...the feeling...the musicians...to see their joy. It's enough. To see that, to share it." Watching Ava recapture physically not just the performance in her retelling but the appreciation from both musicians and concert-goers alike, Frank starts to rediscover hope, even as he and Ava try to stay alive from the killers hunting them. The appetizers, entrees, and desserts from Eataliano Market & Deli, located at 5325 Phelps Luck Drive in Columbia, Maryland, prompt similarly unexpected overflows of culinary memories and joy. Upon our first visit of what we hope will be many, my wife and I placed the following takeout order: 1 order of Baked Meatballs 2 orders of Garlic Bread 1 ten-inch Empire Pie (I requested no ricotta or extra virgin olive oil) 1 order of Rigatoni Meatballs alla Vodka 1 order of Spaghetti with Homemade Meat Sauce 1 slice of Limoncello Mascarpone Cake 1 slice of Pistachio Cheesecake The garlic bread and pistachio cheesecake alone conjured spectacular reminisces. The pizza is the best we've had in Maryland, although my wife regretted my choice of no ricotta; and we would gladly reorder our pasta dishes if we didn't have many more entrees that we want to try.

    HIDDEN GEM!!!! I…read morestumbled across this place while visiting Columbia, MD. I was craving a good cheesesteak, so I did what any responsible foodie would do--I consulted Google. This place kept popping up, so I figured the internet couldn't be wrong... at least not this time. The restaurant is tucked away in what feels like a residential area, making it a true hidden gem. The parking situation, however, deserves its own reality show. Spaces are limited, and getting in and out of the parking lot felt like I was participating in an advanced driving course. The establishment offers nice seating, but don't expect a formal dining experience. You place your order at the counter and then find your own seat. When we arrived, the place was packed with people ordering and eating. That's usually a good sign, and at that point I knew we had either found the jackpot or everyone in Columbia had the exact same cheesesteak craving. Because of the crowd, ordering took a little while. The dining area was also in need of some attention--we ended up cleaning our own table before sitting down. The food took longer than expected to arrive, but as soon as I took the first bite, all was forgiven. We ordered two cheesesteaks and a personal pepperoni pizza. The cheesesteaks were absolutely loaded with perfectly grilled meat, topped with grilled onions and peppers, all served on a warm, soft hoagie roll. Every bite was packed with flavor and required at least a few extra napkins. The personal pepperoni pizza was also excellent. I'd describe it as a traditional thin-crust pizza with the perfect balance of sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. No ingredient was trying to steal the spotlight--it was a well-rehearsed pizza ensemble. As I said from the beginning, this place is a hidden gem. The food alone is worth the trip. The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars instead of 5 is because of the challenging parking situation and the dining area's cleanliness and service. Fix those two issues, and this place might just become my new definition of a cheesesteak pilgrimage destination
