All housed in the historic Capital Hotel, newly renovated in November of 2022. The atmosphere here is immaculate. It is a must see when enjoying the sights of Annapolis. My girlfriend and I stopped in on a Thursday afternoon after touring the State House. We each ordered the Monkey Smoke (Penicillin), and she ordered a small plate with avocado and lump crabmeat, which we ordered just in time as the kitchen closed between 3 and 4. The standout of the day for me was the old fashioned, made with plum bitters. One of the best old fashioneds I've ever had. The servers were all very friendly and quick. We will definitely come back the next time we're in town, and definitely recommend this to others.

Pictured with my review, you'll see my margarita from where I sat at the bar, and happy hour meal, the boneless chicken wings and fries. This place was the perfect place for an office farewell!

We had a really good experience at Dry 85 in Annapolis!…read more We tried the Dry 85 Burger and the fried chicken sandwich, and both were delicious. The burger was flavorful and satisfying, and the fried chicken sandwich was also a great choice. The fries were definitely a standout for me. They were thick cut and topped with Parmesan cheese, which made them way better than your typical side of fries. I also loved learning the story behind the name. Dry 85 refers to the 85 days that Washington, D.C. remained dry after Prohibition was repealed in 1933. Overall, great food, a fun story behind the restaurant, and definitely a spot I would come back to!

It was so perfectly crispy with the most delicious cumin yogurt dollops. I could have eaten 3 more bowls of this! You have to try it The pickles and tomato salad were about equally good. Pickles were fresh and crunchy. Not too sour. Salad was also fresh and paired well with the goat cheese crumbles. For mains I can only speak to what I ordered which was the brunch burger. It was delicious! Ingredients were high quality, egg was perfectly runny, and overall everything about this burger was very well balanced. My friends also enjoyed their entrees and there were no complaints!

Full On Craft Eats. The Toast online ordering system was easy to navigate and adorned with pictures of every menu item. I could not get past the onion rings on the starter menu hoping they would taste as good as they looked. My friend offered to split the Slammin Salmon sandwich and onion rings since she has had it before and never finished the entire thing. I took her up on it and the order was placed. A quick ask for mom to grab it on the way home and the food made its way back quickly. WOW is all I can say. When you order food to go there is a level of expectation that it will not be as good as it is at the restaurant, especially fries and onion rings. But in this instance WOW. Talk about food that travels well. Fourteen minutes away and the food was still warm, the onion rings were so crisp, and the garlic and dill aioli and onion ring sauce were just right. The Slammin Salmon was served on ciabatta bread that was not too soft not too hard, with salmon cooked perfectly. The lemon dill aioli was a game changer so much that my friend's advice to order extra was well received and committed to memory. The onion rings lived up to the hype, cooked perfectly with a crust I cannot even explain. The kind you bite into without losing the entire onion from the breading. Dip it into the sauce and you have a match made in heaven. Half the sandwich was more than enough but the next day I would have loved some leftovers. Now for the extra razzle dazzle. I left to visit a friend in DC and sent him the menu, shared my experience and he was locked in to try. Online ordering was closed since they were closing at 10pm so I called as a last-ditch effort since the anticipation was already there. The nicest most warm individual answered ten minutes before closing and was more than happy to take my order. She even made sandwich recommendations. I quickly arrived at a shopping center that was easy to get in and out of. Walking in you immediately arrive at the counter and takeout area to your left with a nice bar area a short walk past on the right. The cooks and wait staff were having the best time using the 6/7 saying that was all over social media late last year. They were considerate when they noticed I was in the restaurant, but I assured them I loved their energy. I see why the food is so good because the energy shows it was made with great vibes and laughter all around. As I grabbed the bag to leave the hostess stopped me to add another fork and extra napkins since I would need them to add the pickled veggies on my sandwich. Such a nice touch. Thirty plus minutes to DC and the food still did not need to be reheated. The Mai Thai sandwich was a hit with flavors that married well and the onion rings delivered again. The Spicy Thai wings were good for wings but typical. They had a lot to compete with. Full On Craft Eats Annapolis, not to be confused with Rockville, is an experience you will want to repeat again and again. Good food fast that travels well (yes that is a thing). A great addition to any table worth gathering at. I did it twice in one day!!

A great pizza spot in downtown Annapolis…read more This spot is in a decent location being not too far from Knighton Garage. It's also a short walk from the Court and the rest of downtown Annapolis. We went in the middle of the day but be careful of their hours as they do vary throughout the week. Service was fast and easy getting there before the dinner rush. We were seated and could watch our food being prepared. It was brought to our table maybe 15 minutes later and it was delicious. The pizza is thin crust brick oven baked and the toppings and flavors taste so fresh and delicious. My only gripe is that it's a little expensive for our taste but it's still quite delicious. I'm not sure you can share one pizza with a friend without having something else too.
