The dirty banana milkshake was just right, they tell me they have 4 ounces of alcohol in them, in all of the milkshakes, but I wish it did have a little more ice cream. That being said, really nothing to complain about. Good menu, standard American fair, fountain sodas, nice people, high and low seating, just a nice place.

We had been a few times after they opened and were frankly less than wowed. On a whim, we decided…read moreto try Notch 8 again. What a difference. First the craft beers were significantly improved and the partnership with Pepperjacks for food is inspired. While we didn't try the boozy shakes, we will definitely partake next time. Love the friendly staff and the wide roll up doors on a nice evening. It was hopping, but not crazy on a Thursday night.

Chill, local spot for sandwiches and the best onion rings!…read more We went here for lunch after raving recommendations from friends and family. I'm glad we did since it delivered as promised! This place has a vast selection of sandwiches, all served with a side of pickle and housemade chips. Our starters included the tomato soup and onion rings, which were served pretty quickly after our waiter took our order. The onion rings were so crispy and flavorful - the best I've ever tried in the area! Our sandwich orders came out after that, which included the My Thai, Chipotle BBQ beef, and Reuben. Sandwiches were very hefty and quite filling, and I had plenty to take home for leftovers. I would definitely return again for their onion rings and to try another sandwich!

My partner and I came back today for lunch. Really enjoyed our sandwiches. I got the Cauliflower…read moreSandwich with black bean hummus, pickled peppers on sourdough. I didn't get the cheese. It's a great sandwich. My partner got the Le Pilgrim - Thanksgiving in a sandwich. Absolutely great. We both agree the chips that accompany the sandwiches are fantastic. We took most of the chips home for later. The service was very good. We were greeted and sat outdoors. Our server was very pleasant and enthusiastic. Will definitely be back. Lots of interesting sandwiches on the menu.

My wife and I first learned about this brewery several years ago when they had a collaboration with…read moreAstro Lab next to us which became Third Hill. We love trying new breweries where we go and this seemed like the best one in Columbia we haven't been to. I had high expectations but they by far exceeded it. This may be the best brewery we have been to. They have so many offerings and we loved everything. Some of the stuff is barrell aged and expensive but worth it. We also loved their taco offerings which includes some fun vegetarian options like like spicy fried mushrooms and fried avocado as well as our first ever bison meat taco along with mahi mahi, chicken tinga, and carne asada. We did not expect it but it may be the best tacos we've had. We had their seasonal strawberry margarita which may have been the best margaritas we have had along with an excellent local rose wine. Ambiance is nice and upscale for a brewery and our service at the bar was very quick and some of the most attentive we have had. We certainly look forward to returning.

The place was packed on a Friday evening and we eventually got two seats at the bar with the help of a friendly patron. The place is large, loud and lively. One of the side rooms is weirdly as bright as a school room. Speaking of weird this brewery is located in the back of an office park... The staff was friendly and hustling. I must say most of their beers are not my favorite. Too many sours and other beers that feel like they are trying too hard to be exotic. I tried their Shore pilsner and even that was a bit odd. I like lighter beers like pilsners, kolsches and hefeweizens so if I lived here I would try some of their non-beer options because I would be back for the food.

So, it was a no-brainer to choose them as the venue for our wedding's welcome party. The pricing was very reasonable for such a large space and served as the bar tab for all our guests. We opted for in-house catering, and the pizza and wings were delicious as always. The staff was super accommodating and wonderful, making the food service, bar, and audio/visual a smooth experience. Our guests had an absolute blast and it was a great way to introduce so many of the people in our lives to one of our favorite Maryland institutions. Thank you Crooked Crab!

Welcoming and friendly even when I tried to order at the bar instead going to the place at the end to order as the sign clearly states. Sorry I was born in Wisconsin. The wood fired Meat Lovers Pizza was tasty and enough for two. We had a pretzel order and the mustard was spot on. Our beer choice was Stringray Mysterio a very good stout. Also myself the navigator needed and wanted a Mead. So Pina Colada Crush was a perfect choice. We both loved the decor and vibes. The pizza oven which was a crab design was cute but I thanked the men preparing the outstanding pizza. All the staff were fantastic.

We got three pizzas to share the pepperoni, the saucy, and chicken bacon ranch. The pepperoni had such an awesome feature. The pepperonis were cooked into the crust, all along the outside nice and crispy. You know that perfect pepperoni that's cooked to the point where it turns into a pyramid. I guess more of an igloo? This was some absolutely delicious pizza. I would definitely drive down here just for this again. It's also an event space which seems like it would be pretty cool. The organization we were meeting with has held a couple young professionals events there. Not sure if it's attached to a brewery or it is a brewery? Seems like the perfect place for a 21+ event. I guess you could even throw a pizza party for the kids?

First time visiting and I noticed they specialize in Detroit-style pizza!…read more The place was bouncin' when we got there and with a toddler, it was hard to find seating, but a spot opened up fairly shortly :) it was kind of loud and hard to hear each other talk. We ordered the In Crust We Trust pizza. If I'm being honest, as someone who used to prepare deep dish pizzas, I was a little underwhelmed that I paid $24 for a small pizza. But the dough was deliciously springy like a focaccia, and the toppings worked well without making a soggy pizza! The service was good, straightforward and to the point :) with our toddler near the end of his rope for the evening, we ordered our food to go and it was ready in about 15-20 minutes. We added the cannoli bouquet and it was soooo good

If you love onions you'll enjoy the onion crumble on this burger. A good balance of flavors and well worth the try. Parmesan fries also had roasted garlic so it was a big "Yes" for me! My husband got the jailbreak burger which was also a big crowd pleaser. To the right they have a full bar to try their different beers. A great spot to take your friends for after work drinks and eats. They even have a cozy lounge area to relax. Plenty of seating and great service. The staff was ready and willing to help and cleared off our tables for us. The tab system makes it easy to move from room to room so you don't have to worry, it's easy to add drinks and food as you relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Will definitely recommend for a relaxed atmosphere where you can watch games and also enjoy lively conversation. Better than a sports bar for food AND drinks.

There was like a tangy sauce on the tuna which took away from the flavor of the fish and for $22 I was expecting something a bit more. Otherwise, Jailbreak is always a solid choice for drinks and grub. They usually have reservations and larger parties, but it's a pretty open/communal space, so there aren't typically issues with seating. All in all, a great spot for many occasions.

What kind of craziness is this? This must be the only place in Annapolis that requires you to have…read morea seat to get a beer??? Pick a bar ANY other bar in Annapolis. Walk up to the bar get a beer. Not walk up and be asked if have a seat somewhere before they hand you a beer. Hi Parice! I'm so sorry about this experience. The City of Annapolis requires us to have a seat for every person, even if they're just having a beer, so we have to seat everyone. We've had a host working weekends since we've been open to ensure this happens. Every table has a number on it now, and we should have done a better job about pointing you to that number before (or while) you ordered. I do hope you'll come by another time. Saturdays in June are some of our busiest days, but there are lots of other slower days when you can come in and easily get a table. Again, we're sorry for this experience and hope to see you again!

Plenty of options for seating, whether inside, outside on their deck, or out in the woods. They have a food truck, which I mentioned in my prior review...but the nachos are still BANGIN! Jay and Sandy are really great and provide excellent customer service. My favorite beer is Moonscribe, but even when they're out, I always find something else to enjoy. They have plenty of options to cater to most beer drinkers and alternate quite often. The vibe is chill, and they have events often. Dont miss out on Pines and Needles on Thursdays, where you can bring a vinyl and listen while you enjoy a cold one....one of our favorite nights to attend. Overall, great local brewery that is a must to check out!

Five stars for the chili from the food truck my tip here add it to the nachos and you will have a…read moresurprisingly good plate of nachos. Get extra chili on the side you can dip your chips in. There is no service this is a working brewery people are pleasant enough but somewhat brief and direct. You order your nachos via the code or walk up to the food shack. Where the chef and his lovely wife are so personable and nice with your special requests (no dairy no gluten) that you will come back for a second bowl of chili with his homemade pickles jalapeños. You can walk to the pine forest and eat at a picnic table beneath the trees or sit indoors (some smell of brewery) or eat on their covered patio. Non alcoholic is limited to Boylan creme soda, root beer or water. It is worth the trip imho for the chili - it is very good chili and he is entirely too modest about it.

It was well made but for $10, kinda steep and in a small glass. Wasn't super hungry so I got the korean bbq wings (comes in 6) with a side of ranch and they were tasty. I love all the terp decor!

It's close to home, and when I don't have anything to do, I find myself here. But it's just not the menu selections. Especially on Saturdays, Nelson is the bartender, and he's friendly, welcoming, and handles a full bar very well. And the playlist is always on point when he's bartending. I've heard a surprising amount of dancehall & reggae that I can't help but appreciate when he's there. By the way, you must try the chili nachos and onion rings. Those things are addictive -- and everything is delightfully affordable. Sometimes it's crowded, sometimes it isn't... but based on how I enjoy everything, it should be. And if you're a University of Maryland alumnus or even a fan, you will enjoy the vibe there. There is Terp swag and decor everywhere. They did a fantastic job taking over the space that used to be Hard Times Cafe. And when the weather is nice, they have a spacious patio. With this bar / restaurant, Home Depot, a board game store, and a comic book store all within walking distance of each other, I can't really ask for me, haha. And it's right off of exit 25... so convenient!
