I called to place the order, and the guy couldn't hear me. When I called back, there was silence on the line until I said "hello" a few times, followed by a blunt "Yeah, what can I do for you?" slightly off-putting, but I placed the order. When I arrived, the place was empty and looked clean. The food was ready, and I was in and out quickly. As for the food: The Fries: These were excellent. They were hot, well-seasoned, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. I really enjoyed them. The Burger: This was the letdown. I got the Black & Bleu, and while the toppings (bleu cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, brioche bun) were fresh and tasty, the meat itself was lackluster. They looked like two smash patties, but they had zero crust and absolutely no seasoning. No salt, no pepper, nothing. Honestly, if it weren't for the toppings, the burger would have been hard to eat because the meat was just plain and bland. I ate it because I was hungry, but for a "Pub and Ale House," the burger really needs to be seasoned properly. Between the awkward service and the flavorless patties, I can only give it 2 stars.

They couldn't serve draught beer because their lines were frozen which the server didn't inform us of until after we ordered food. It's no wonder they were frozen because it was so cold inside even the hostess was wearing her coat. The drinks we did end up ordering had no booze in them. The chicken noodle soup that was on special was incredibly salty with mushy chicken. The crab meat in the crab dip had the texture of imitation crab. The rest of the food we ordered had absolutely no flavor or was burnt. We didn't even bother finishing the food and left hungry. Overall a very disappointing experience.

The bartender/owner of this place is one of, if not, the rudest people I have ever met. She speaks to the "regulars" about other customer, yells, and is just incredibly unprofessional.

I don't recommend visiting unless you want to be treated poorly, ignored, and possibly belittled.

Service was attentive and welcoming! Appetizers, sandwiches, and all things pub style I wanted something simple for a somewhat late (for me) meal. I went with the shrimp salad on brioche with sweet potato fries. I prefer my lettuce crisp, limpy no thanks, so I opted for tomatoes and raw onions. The fries were still sizzlin' off the frier it burned my tongue lol. It's ok, I'm the nut that loves her food hot and this meal was simple it satisfied.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Friends of ours said we should check out…read moreTuckers so wife and I stopped in the other day around 6pm. Walked in and maybe about 10 customers with some at the bar and some at the tables. We went up to the bar grabbed a couple of seats and bartender asked what we wanted. We let her know it was our first visit to which she replied with an unenthusiastic "...welcome". That was it. I then asked what draft beer they had and she condescendingly let me know that "we don't have draft beer". Maybe it's just me but when people come into a bar that doesn't have a kitchen or draft beer for the first time the bartender/server might want to lead with those 2 tidbits of information. Also maybe 1. Since you don't have draft beer, is there other stuff you don't have that most people would think would be there? 2. How does the ordering food work with the food truck? Do we go get it ourselves or do we order inside? 3. If we're there during happy hour, which I think we were (I'm still not sure) maybe let us know what the food and drink specials are. 4. Even if we're not here during happy hour, since it's our first time there maybe you let us know when happy hours and specials are anyway for future reference. As for the rest of the visit, we got 2 beers and listened to the bartender break down boxes and complain to other staff the whole time. I guess we'll try them again now that we know the deal.

Food is okay. Ambiance is an underwhelming old paneled bar out of the 1960s--could be cool in that…read moreregard, but unfortunately it is just a shabby, completely non-diverse, locals dive bar. Service is disappointing, with the most frustrating aspect being the surprise when I went to pay my tab on a credit card, the bartender explained that "the tips can only be in cash" as she handed me my already closed-out ticket and credit card slip to sign. I asked her to explain. She stated that "it was the owner's policy". What that really means for those of us with an accounting background, is that the owner cares so little about his employees' future, and cares so little about his country and the state of Maryland, that he is deliberately hiding the tipped wages that the public provides to his wait staff/bartenders. So, at the end of each month, he deposits far less into the Maryland State Unemployment Tax account than he is required to and far less into the Federaul Unemployment Tax Account that is required. Additionally, he gets away with paying less of the employer portion of the FICA taxes. And, when the employees reach retirement age, they will have a smaller Social Security check because his illegal choice to conceal their actual earnings means their SSA account shows lower wages.
