    Knights
    Joe S.

    Went to Medieval Times with a group of colleagues for a work event. We wanted to make a few memories and thought that it would be fun to try something different. The event was fun but a little loud because of several groups of school events. The food was okay though at my age I really like silverware. Guess I would not have enjoyed the Middle Ages. The service was quick and friendly especially with such a large crowd. The knights were impressive and we all enjoyed the jousting.

    Listen: is this expensive? Yes. Is this a BLAST? YES. Remember that you're playing for dinner a a show. And what a show it is. You're screaming, you're cheering, laughing, and being shocked by the drama unfolding live in front of you. You have a bar maiden bringing a sheet pan of chickens to you! Light up beer! Succulent corn! This is a hoot. We paid for the queens upgrade and it was so worth it. We were rink side and it was so fun. We got priority seating, a pennant to wave for our knight, and it was just such a fun time. Everything about here is just so great. Service. Vibes. Everything is just top notch. You have to come at least once.

    HUZZAH BLUE KNIGHT! With Medieval Times trending right now, my friends and I knew we had to go on our weekend trip up to Maryland for the Ren Faire. We dressed up for our Medieval Time fun. It's located in a mall, so there was plenty of free parking. I bought our tickets ahead of time so all we had to do was show the confirmation email at check-in to get our tickets. We waited in very short lines and were given crowns for the knight we were rooting for. It was BUSY. They had us go to a corner to take a photo then we were free to explore. We got there pretty close to show time, so the medieval emcee was already speaking from above. He gave clear instructions on what we were and weren't allowed to do as well as how to find our seats. I was so happy that we were given a row in front. This is true entertainment and a show. I brought some plastic utensils because I had read somewhere that they didn't offer any, but turns out we were offered that that evening. I'm still glad I brought it because they went by pretty quickly. The servers here are INCREDIBLE. They work quick and carry very heavy things. I was in awe of their flow. Everything was very organized and felt thoughtfully planned out. There are tons of add-ons you can purchase before or during your time here. We decided to purchase some wine and a friend of mine got a souvenir cup. My gluten-free friend had an easy time enjoying her meal too. She was given veggies instead of the bread roll and Italian ice instead of an eclair. My friends loved the dragon's blood (tomato soup). And the food servings here are HUGE. We got half a rotisserie chicken. They put on a really fun show. With falconry, horse tricks, jousting, sword fighting, and a fun cheesy 90s medieval movie plot. These people are skilled performers. Do note that it gets incredibly loud because of the microphones on performers and the cheering. I think us being in front and our knight winning made the evening extra special. The only reason this is four instead of five stars is because I found myself worrying about the horses A LOT. I was not anticipating that. Their website does mention all the detailed care they do for the horses. I am not sure why I felt so conflicted, but this affected my evening a little bit. Overall, I still had a great time with my friends and enjoyed the show!

    Hummus and veggies (very good!) and garlic bread.

    My partner and I came here years ago with our kids, and now twice on our own on New Years Eves. It's a fun, family-friendly experience with decent food and hardworking and friendly Staff. If you are in the right mindset for a silly, entertaining evening of being called lord/lady and eating with your hands, it's fun. The horse work and choreography of the sword activity was fun to watch, and the performers were very enthusiastic and connected well with the audience. The food is good, too (what we ate - more about that later). Everyone got a cup of tomato soup, a half chicken, garlic bread, a half baked potato and a small piece of ear of buttered corn. And a dessert of a piece of cake and a chocolate eclair. Plenty to eat. I was impressed by the large serving of chicken. One thing I will caution you about is if you request a special meal. When I purchased the tickets, I reached out via email and told them we wanted a special meal. On the website, they proudly describe in detail 9 different special meals (gluten free, onion free, garlic free, etc). They said by email that they would make a note of it on our reservation and that we should alert our server. When we arrived tonight and checked in, we told the person we had requested "onion free" (the closest I could find to low fat and low salt). He looked like he didn't know what I was talking about and asked a supervisor. He then handed me two "special meal" tickets and told me to discuss with the server. We told the server that we wanted "onion free", but were really concerned with fat and salt. She said she'd let the kitchen know. I told her that the onion free came with fresh fruit instead of the soup. She said they didn't have fresh fruit, but offered us fresh veggies with hummus. She said she could get us plain chicken, but the potato and corn would be as it is normally served. (The special meal says they offer plain baked potato without butter/salt or other toppings.). Anyway, we agreed that we would take the meal as it is usually offered except for the chicken. I ate the corn but not the potato (because of salt/toppings). When everyone in our row was being served their chicken, she told us the kitchen forgot to make our chicken. So she offered us another round of veggies and hummus while we waited. (The hummus and veggies were very good both times!). A supervisor came a while later and said with an apology that the kitchen only made one chicken, not two. We said we would wait. After more time passed and everyone else was finishing their dessert, the chef came by and said it would be a few more minutes and asked if we wanted it "to go" (the show was almost over). We said we would eat it there and he apologized. The chicken came and it was overall moist, but parts very dry. The point of the story is - be aware if you order a special meal that they talk a good game on the website, but things really went sideways in practice tonight. My partner and I agreed that if we each had ordered a regular meal, it would have been fine. But we didn't, relying on the great detail and confidence they express on the website about providing special meals. I'd give the place 4 or 5 stars if we had ordered a regular meal. It's a fun place, you get to eat with your hands, and everyone is working hard and very pleasant. But, I will admit that it was pretty stressful waiting for our meal, with people coming over and apologizing first for forgetting to make it, then for making only one, asking us whether we would be satisfied with sharing only one meal, and then suggesting that it was so late that we probably should just take the meal home. But they were very apologetic. I have to review and give points based on my experience, not what my experience would have been if I had ordered a regular meal. So, 3 stars. It's a shame.

    We went here for a friends bday and it did not disappoint! The food was seasoned and had great flavor. The seer staff was amazing, shoutout to Garrett who worked on 5-3-25. He was our serf and was funny and welcoming. This was my first show and i loved it! Can't wait to go back. The best part was meeting the knights after the show, they were all super nice and chill. Go team Blue!!

    I came for a matinee performance with my ENTIRE school. You read that right. 750 pre-k through 5th graders(minus about 30 that didn't turn in their permission slips). It was a wild time. Probably the best field trip I've ever gone on as a chaperone. Of course we had some wait time, and three of my group got table number cards for a different table, but still with a teacher from my school. There were other schools there, but when the announcer called out our school name, the stadium erupted with cheer! The students and I loved seeing the knights and horses up close. I did knock a star off as another reviewer did because sometimes the sound was a bit muffled and hard to make out, especially during the trivia questions. Food was good. The students around me were eating their chicken with their hands. I had the vegetarian stew which was like vegetarian chili, and it was quite good. The corn was also very good not mushy like you get when you go to some places where they make it in bulk. We made it out intact; didn't lose any students in the crowd. I'm sure they will remember this field trip for a long time.

    This place was a trip...also a scam but a good one. It's actually really fun and I had a great time. I think the show is a little long. I walked out at the end because I was over it. If they cut 10-15 minutes it would be perfect. The show is entertaining though. I loved seeing the horses and the falcon. I went in with no idea of what to expect, so that also helped. Drinks were surprisingly good though they veered on the sweeter side. Food wasn't bad. I enjoyed my chicken, potato, and corn on the cob and I was full after. Everyone is excited to be here so the place has a lot of energy. All of the staff were really upbeat and kind, which I guess you have to be if you work here. Service was great. We were celebrating a birthday, as were many others, and they do a good job with the birthdays. If you don't mind the expense, it's definitely very fun and I'd go back if someone wanted to experience it.

    Truly one of the silliest experiences I've done and I recommend anyone looking for a fun adventure a chance to go here. They just updated their show and tickets were about $60 for me (used a promo code like bday25), but you're paying for an experience. The show was so fun, swept with different opposing factions, betrayal, and 11/10 combat. It was riveting to watch the men joust and battle and they really got into it. My one suggestion was that it was hard to hear what the king and queen were saying at times. I know you're not going to medieval times for the food but what would a yelp review be without a description of it. We got garlic bread which was that frozen Texas toast you'd expect, tomato soup which was quite watery, chicken that was extremely moist and really seasoned well, a side of potatoes and corn (standard), and we got an eclair (it was the frozen ones I used to have as a child but it was oof). Perfect kind of place to go to with family or with friends as a silly adventure or celebration.

    Gorgeous falcon girl meet and greet after the show.

    We had such a fun time tonight at Medieval Times. Our server was impressively strong and our knight was the heel of the story, which was just plain fun. Yeah, long lines, but I feel that should be expected. What I didn't expect was to (for the most part) to actually really enjoy our meal. It's not 5 star dining, but it was fresh, easy, and well prepared. I actually quite liked the chicken! At the end of the night we made a last minute souvenir purchase and the employee went out of her way to offer to wrap our drink glasses and bag them for us which made getting to the car much easier! Only con was parking. Get there early!

    I had such a beautiful experience! The whole show is magical!! The horses are so cute and it is such a fun experience for the whole family. Definitely the place to celebrate birthdays and special occasions. They have a full bar and shops to match with the whole ambiance. The staff is so friendly and welcoming Coming back really soon!!

    Tomato Bisque: I brought my own spoon. This is the perfect accompaniment to the garlic toast already in my belly and not pictured.

    We "JOUST" got back from another wonderful "KNIGHT OUT" at Medieval Times, Baltimore Castle. I have been here a handful of times before, and each time, we are never disappointed. This place has plenty of FREE and available mall PARKING which is a special treat! I hate the thought of paying for parking, always have. But here, you don't have to worry about that! I remember back to the first time I came here, (many years ago) and my sister told me, "just arrive with no expectations and to be prepared to not take anything too seriously!" This is probably my 4th visit to this same castle and I still heed the same advice, it's more fun that way! Price of admission has gone up since I can remember, but it wasn't in upwards of over $80 per adult ticket (after taxes & fees) like it is today so be prepared for sticker shock! The menu is the same as I remember. It always includes a starter tomato bisque, garlic toast, small 1/2 chicken with barely there breast meat, a 1/2 corn on the cob, and a seasoned, roasted potato wedge. Except for a rotation of desserts where it all depends on kitchen stock, as tonight, we each got one small chocolate eclair. I'm not a fan of eclairs, so I did not even touch it. But everything else on my plate was as expected given the mass quantities that needed to be prepared and served. Oh, I need to remind you, to further mimic times of medievalness, this place does not include silverware, so I packed my own plastic ware, courtesy of Sheets (thank you) the gas station/convenience store chain that I stopped at during my latest roadtrip! If you came ill prepared, like the rest of populace in the colosseum-type building, word on the street is that you can always ask your server, the females are called "Wenches" and they will eventually bring you your set of silverware. I chose to pack my own! But you do you, boo! The current storyline is a little over one year old across all the castles nationwide. But it takes time to write the scripts, cast the characters, and train everybody and the horses! It's a huge production, I'd say. Although new to me, this show seems to be more similar than unique to what I've experienced in the past, but the experience is always so different. At the box office, you get assigned a color and that is where you are to be seated and that is your knight cheering squad for the evening. The available colors are Green, Red&Yellow, Blue, Black&White, and Red. Tonight, we were assigned to Black& White! Yay! There is so much for the senses during this dinner and show. You get to meet the King & Queen of the castle, there is a dancing/prancing horse segment, and there is also falconry. In between the eating and the cheering and the "sporting" events, there are a couple of light moments where your knight get to personally hand out (by way of tossing into the stands) carnations to various people in the audience, my guess is the demographic that receives them are always young girls from toddler to young adult years. As history would repeat itself, my daughter was lucky to receive another carnation tonight as well! I think this small gesture is the best and I hope they never do away with this part of the show! My favorite part of the show is the jousting and the choreographed fight scenes. I never tire of them! It seems like every show, there is a different knight that comes out the sole victor, and tonight is the Red Knights turn to shine. At the end of the evening, I love that gratuities could be paid via Venmo or Ca$hApp, this way, they are not taxed. ‍ At the end of the night, all the knights in the show came out for photo ops and meet & greets! My party of three exited the castle two hours later, with bellies full, and fully satisfied with another wonderful "knight" out. I think everyone should experience this merriment of carelessness eating enjoyment with our hands and jovial tournament viewing at least once! Oh, they provided wet wipes for your hands before and after your eating enjoyment. I'm a fan! #mtfan

    Having never been to Medieval Times and not sure what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised by all of it. The overall experience was very enjoyable. The theater performance was really great and you can tell that alot goes into making the show a success. The meal... so much food! No utensils, be prepared to eat with your hands as they did in Medieval Times. Everything was tasty and seasoned well. A 1/2 chicken! So much meat! I couldn't quite finish all my food and they do offer a to go box. The corn and chicken were probably my best items. The 4 vs 5 stars is due to the temperature in the main room. It was very warm and took me a long time to get comfortable. Additionally, the seats are very close together and can make it challenging to eat. I'd like to recommend they put an open seat between parties/groups to help with that a bit. Definitely worth going!

    Had a great time eating with a big group! They try to be so organized with ordering that they kinda…read morehad to "strictly" follow rules by the book. LOL. Like if they are doing it clock-wise, you can't switch giving orders with the person after you. I thought that was funny because when the orders came, they still had to ask "who's who." Anyway, overall would reco for a mall area. Jambalaya was a hit - white, brown or pasta and the meat was generous. I'd say most servings are pretty generous. Fair kids meal pricing too, with usual crayons and activity paper menu. If the server take nice group picture I would have rated 6! J/k. Only reason it's 4 is because I don't feel the servers have the "right" energy for that day. I would have understand if it was one of them but both of them were almost nonchalant. LOL!

    Yard House is an easy win for anyone who wants great drinks, great food, and zero hassle…read more Their cider selection is fantastic--crisp, refreshing, and way better than what most sports‑bar‑style places bother to offer. And the vegan options? Shockingly good. Thanks to the Gardein chick'n plant‑based options, there are actually numerous vegan dishes to choose from--you're not stuck with the sad "token vegan entrée" or piecing together a meal from sides. It's real variety with real flavor. And bonus: they don't cross‑contaminate. The vibe hits that perfect sweet spot between sports bar and local pub--lively, comfortable, and never chaotic. Staff stays on top of everything, too. Drinks refilled, plates cleared, questions answered... they're attentive without hovering. And the table‑side ordering system is killer. It makes the whole experience smoother, faster, and honestly kind of fun. No waiting around, no flagging anyone down--you're in control. Yard House nails the combo of great food, great service, and great atmosphere. It's the kind of place you walk out of thinking, "Yep, we're coming back."

We started with Potato Cakes with crème fraiche, they had a nice crunch, a tender interior with subtle flavor. I'd never had them with crème fraiche, it was a nice change and the mild tanginess with the creamy texture complimented the Cakes well. I ordered the Main Street with Weisswurst, a Pretzel and plain Spätzle. It was my first, the veal's flavor is understated in comparison to Bratwurst or Knackwurst (not on the menu) and was a pleasant changeup. The Pretzel was little disappointing while it was a decent pretzel, it lacked the crisp crust and distinctive flavor I expected. As evident by the rating while worthy of note, it's not a game changer. I'd ordered a large plain Spätzle, which was two regular portions, but was served Spätzle with cheese I tasted it and it wasn't my thing, which is not to say it was bad, I just don't care for cheese in dishes like that. Our server swapped one cheese for plain (my wife had happily stolen the other) and enjoyed the replacement. I found that the grilled onions gave it a nice homey flavor. Mistakes happen and it turned out to be a win in the end. We shared a couple of desserts and by far, my favorite was the Black Forest Cupcake. It's on the large side, they might be able to cut on the weighty crème icing, the chocolate cake and soaked cherries were a delight. The cherries are a significant improvement over the Marchinos I had before, if only there were more. Rathskeller can get a little loud, as it is a relatively small space with hard surfaces so voices reflect, it wasn't packed this afternoon, so it wasn't an issue. Waitstaff dresses very casually, it pleasant and fairly attentive.

Let me start with the wings because... wow. I've been on a mission to find a honey lemon pepper wing that actually has flavor, and these finally hit the mark. Sweet, tangy, peppery, and bold -- not that faint "maybe there's lemon in here" situation most places give. These had real personality. The smash burger was another surprise. I don't eat cheese, so I was a little intimidated ordering a smash burger without it, but no cheese, no problem. The meat itself tasted different -- richer, cleaner, and higher quality than your typical burger spot. The edges had that perfect crispy smash, and the inside stayed juicy. When the meat is that good, you don't need anything extra. Service was quick, ambiance was fitting and the food came out hot, and everything looked good enough that I had to grab pics before diving in. This spot is definitely going into my rotation.

I definitely will be back again whenever I am in the area.

You can tell people really like this place. Lots of options on the menu. I went with the classic Eggs Benedict, which here comes with an interesting twist -- they add cheddar cheese. That was new to me. My daughter ordered the Belgian waffle with sausage. They didn't ask patty or link, so we rolled the dice -- it came as links, and she wasted no time eating them. The waffle filled her up quickly. Fresh blueberries on top, crispy on the outside, airy on the inside, and sweet in all the right ways. When my Eggs Benedict arrived, it looked a little small at first and the potatoes barely filled the plate. But don't let that fool you. What a flavor. What a presentation. The hollandaise was perfect -- thick enough that it barely dripped off the muffins. Once the creamy yolk broke and mixed into that sauce, it was game over. The cheddar addition actually works, giving the whole dish another layer of richness. This is top-tier classic Benedict. Coffee was solid, the atmosphere cozy, and the pricing surprised me in a good way. My daughter's meal was $5.99, with only a $0.75 upcharge for juice, which is hard to beat these days. Good service, good food, and a comfortable place to sit down and eat. We'll definitely be back!!!

We did not see our waitress after the food arrived and had to flag someone down to ask for the check. There was no butter in the table for toast- we asked a food runner in lieu of the waitress but did not get it.

    Brunch at Elliott's Craft Kitchen: A Promising Start With a Few Missed Beats…read more.. I recently visited Elliott's Craft Kitchen a fairly new spot that my group of four decided to try out for brunch. We were hoping for a fresh experience, but our visit turned out to be a mixed bag. Ambiance and First Impressions... When we arrived, the restaurant was surprisingly empty, which was a bit of a head-scratcher for brunch time. Even though we could hear staff chatting in the back, it took a good five to eight minutes before anyone came out to seat us. Once we were seated, we noticed the lighting was so dim that we actually had to whip out our phones just to read the menu. Not exactly the cozy brunch vibe we were hoping for. The Food: Hits and Misses... On to the food. We started with the cream of crab soup, which was just okay--nothing to write home about. The Brussels sprouts were a bit of a letdown. They were tiny and mostly just fried leaves rather than the hearty sprouts we expected. So if you're imagining those classic roasted Brussels sprouts, this wasn't it. The chicken and waffles were decent in flavor, although the presentation could have used some polish. The pita bread for the crab dip could have been toasted or something more firm and doesn't taste like it was immediately pulled from a bag. Surprisingly, the star of the meal ended up being something as simple as the French fries. They were really tasty and stood out more than some of the fancier dishes. Service and the Final Stretch... Our server was kind and polite, which we appreciated. But the big hiccup came at the end. Their payment system went down, and we ended up waiting over 30 minutes just to settle the bill. After sitting for about 15 minutes we informed our server that we would like to wait in the lounge area to get more comfortable as I understand.... things happen. Although while we waited for about 20 minutes there were no offers of water or anything to make the wait less awkward (not to mention asking for payment without even presenting a bill). It felt like they were more focused on turning the table than making sure we were okay during the delay. Although maybe it was an awkward start to the morning. I will say our server did her best to work things out with the technology she was given. So, I still provided her a fair tip, not her fault. Value for Money... In terms of pricing, it felt pretty average overall, but there were a few eyebrow-raisers. For instance, the avocado toasted croissant--topped with over-easy eggs, baby spinach, and Grana Padano--was $19, which felt a bit steep for what it was. In comparison, a pork schnitzel dish was around $21. So, while the pricing wasn't outrageous, some items definitely made me pause and question the value. Overall Thoughts... In the end, my experience at Elliott's Craft Kitchen was a bit of a letdown. So I'm surprised by some of the reviews (maybe because it was not dinner). While there were a few highlights (like the fries and a well-made Old Fashioned), the service hiccups and the underwhelming dishes mean I'd probably think twice before going back. Definitely not for brunch but I would really consider Dinner after some more reviews. Hopefully they'll iron out the kinks as they get more established.

The cocktails and mocktails were unique and tasty. 2 of our group loved the peach vinegar mocktail although I'll admit it was a bit too advanced for me. Everything we ate was prepared to a T, met or surpassed fine dining standards, and the desserts were amazing. You don't realize how crappy our capitalist dystopian nation's food has become with US foods and Cysco essentially monopolizing the restaurant supply chains until you get a chance to eat food made in house from scratch. The desserts here were so much fresher and more delicious than what you normally get at places that rely on the corporate food suppliers. I could've easily eaten every single dessert option and then taken one of each home. We didn't even have room to try the house made ice creams and sorbets. My favorite dessert was the pistachio apricot tart, so well balanced and very unique flavor contrast. The mango key line cheesecake was the groups favorite. And the chocolate cake thingy left nothing to be desired.
