It just does not get any better than this - having breakfast with good friends at the Ashland Café!…read more Moses came right over with our coffees as soon as we sat down. That is really good service! Our friends ordered the Silver Dollar Pancakes. There were 10 perfectly sized pancakes. They also had an American Cheese Omelet with home fries and whole wheat toast. We enjoyed the Creamed Chipped Beef over the home fries with whole wheat toast on the side. What we love about breakfast at Ashland is that everything is prepared to order insuring freshly made food, which was served hot and delicious. Their coffee is especially good with a robust flavor. Service and food is never disappointing here.

Then stand back and let him cook... *wink* We got a Texas toast sandwich: garlic compound butter toast, eggs scrambled with mozzarella and provolone, and fried crispy Prosciutto. Then was the pancake quesadilla. It was just a little sweet which was nice with the cheddar cheese and bacon and sausage filling. Last were some tacos: corn tortillas with a ground beef, griddled potatoes, mushrooms, peppers and cheese topped with some gravy. We ended up taking quite a bit home and I'm looking forward to a second round tomorrow morning. Delicious

We ordered the "do you dare" and received 3 items that were flawless. Perfect flavor profiles, perfect cooks, and we could not come up with one thing a dish needed. We ate the following (newest photos at end) French toast smash burger (no bacon): 15/10 French toast soft interior, crispy out. Smash burgers seasoned well and juicy. Hash brown just right. Nothing needed. Cheesesteak potato pancake tacos: 15/10-steak and potatoes seasoned perfectly. Pancake had crispy edges but still fluffy, sauce added a little kick. Nothing needed. Strawberry Mascarpone wafer French toast: 15/10-The PERFECT "I want something sweet" choice without indulging in cereal or ice cream. The strawberry and light cream were heavenly. French toast had cinnamon, crispy edges and was remarkable. We will be coming monthly to try any new items and concoctions Glen will whip up. GET HERE! *May 2025 1st Review* A family based smaller staff. What is lacked in 'quantity' they 100% make up in quality. Immaculate customer service from everyone. A hole in the wall for sure, can not be seen from the street. Limited seating inside and outside. Food was perfect. We ordered the following: Pancake breakfast: 10/10 fluffy, crispy pancakes. Home fries were crisp and seasoned. Perfect for 2 kids to share The Wild West: 10/10 very fresh ingredients, good flavor and portion. Recommend. The Washington Ave: 10/10- I added Feta instead of cheddar and that sent things over. Huge sandwich. Flavor packed. Might want a little more sauce. Cappuccino: 8/10 a little too much milk (hot skim milk) Strawberry mint lemonade: 10/10 I recommend breakfast lovers get here!

I had the crispy Cobb salad with chicken tenders, and it was fantastic. The chicken was perfectly moist and flavorful, and the mixed greens and toppings were incredibly fresh. Every bite was delicious. My husband ordered the waffles and loved them just as much. What really elevated the experience was our server. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Her service made an already great meal even better. Great food, great service, and a wonderful overall experience. We'll absolutely be back! !

As a fan of Breakfast Food, Iron Rooster doesn't disappoint. No matter what my requests are, they accommodate me. It's one of the few places that consistently gets the eggs right! They also accommodate me by adding their Honey Old Bay sauce to my chicken (it was on the menu at one time, is no longer displayed, but still available). I normally get a seat at the bar at there's always some sport event they're showing, which creates the "I'm at home" vibe. Although other locations exist, and I'm sure they are just as good, the Hunt Valley location rocks. If you looking for a good Breakfast/Brunch location, try Iron Rooster. Get a reservation on the weekends...it'll make your experience that much better. And if you were wondering, there's PLENTY of parking. #MallyMalApproved

My wife and I were driving home from Hershey and started getting hungry for lunch. She was looking…read moreon Yelp and found Iron Rooster along with a few other places, but thought we had already passed it. The next exit had a Chick-fil-A, so I said we'd just stop there. As we pulled off the exit, I looked over and there was Iron Rooster! Chick-fil-A was packed, so Iron Rooster it was. We sat at the bar and looked over the menu. My wife ordered the Fried Chicken Cobb Salad, and I had the Chicken Ciabatta Melt with bacon, provolone, tomato, garlic aioli, and parmesan-crusted ciabatta. Overall, the food was good bartender was attentive and friendly. My wife really enjoyed her salad, and the fried chicken was crispy and flavorful. My sandwich was also very good. The only disappointment was that I asked for BBQ sauce and was told they don't have any. They did offer a Korean sauce, which I tried, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. The waffle fries were also hard and overcooked. The last time we ate at an Iron Rooster was in Annapolis quite a few years ago. We had stopped going because the food hadn't been as good as it was on our earlier visits. I'm happy to say this visit was much better, and we'd definitely stop here again if we're in the area.

This place has a Starbucks within it; however, what really threw me off was what I could get here…read morewhen using a voucher from the hotel that this place is located in, upon checkin. When I went today to order my coffee, the gal at the register looked at me like "-_-." I was like "How does this voucher work?" No response. "Should I just order one item or combo?" "Uh...I could do a combo....." She clearly had no idea what I was asking. In the past, whenever I had a voucher, it would state what it was good for. For instance, "Voucher good at buffets at the _____ restaurant or for a beverage and baked good at __________." I ended up getting a Venti Cafe Latte and a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich ($10.45 value). I guess that was okay right? I think of it this way. If this voucher holds no cash value, but I used it to cover breakfast the day before worth $22, I am sure it was no big deal to get a breakfast worth less. There is no specified what I could get with this. She even asked if I wanted to get anything else. Should I assume that if I really wanted to abuse this voucher, I could have ordered like 6 items? Suggestion: Please have staff who have knowledge of what the voucher can be used for within this quick service place.

I was eager to peruse to see what tasty treat I could grab. Parking was plentiful, but busy. I suggest you go as early as possible to secure a hassle free experience parking and market wise. Upon entering, the convergence of scents hit at once: desserts, bbq, popcorn. I wasn't mad at all. Our first stop was the bbq kiosk where we purchased a rack of ribs and wings. They have a variety of mini markets and food vendors in the building: bbq, seafood, spices, bakery, pickles items, clothing, furniture, butcher, handmade crafts, fresh made pretzels, etc. They also had an area to sit and enjoy your food purchases. We also picked up a half of a coconut cake, a slice of strawberry cheesecake, some apple butter and blackberry jam, and as we exited we got the glazed almonds and cashews. This place seems big, but it is manageable to walk around and check out all of the vendors. Upon tasting, our ribs were good: perfectly seasoned and fresh; the wings were rotisserie roasted and were good as well; the cake was just ok for us fresh with coconut flakes held on by white buttercream; the strawberry cheesecake was just ok; the glazed nuts were good as well. All in all, a nice market to visit for fresh, homemade food and unique crafts/gifts.

The avocado toast was tasty but came on a dirty plate that had jelly on it and some dried egg. Hmmmm, curious. I love First Watch but think I will stick with the Timonium location.

I enjoyed the Farmhouse Hash, which seemed like a safe bet and it didn't disappoint. Maybe next time I'll try the Market Hash, which is a little more vegetable-forward and less potato-focused. This was a good mid-point to meet some friends and I'm not in Hunt Valley often, but I would definitely come back.

The menu is absolutely enormous and the interior lacks character and charm with uncomfortable bench seating and scarce decor. I opted for an omelette which came with pepper jack cheese, bacon, pico de gallo, and a dollop of sour cream. The description was unclear about whether it came with home fries and bread or the option of either home fries or bread. When I asked our server about this, he gave me a mixed response and seemed confused himself. I told him IF it comes with bread, I'll need the gluten free option which ended up being pretty good. My boyfriend got the blueberry pancake which he seemed to love. He also got a side of their "million dollar bacon" and "the works" omelette. There was some more confusion from our server who thought he wanted to sub the bacon in the omelette for the million dollar bacon but he ended up asking for our clarification before any mistakes were made. My omelette came out first and it was dry and overcooked. Definitely not a fluffy omelette and the half a spoonful of sour cream wasn't helping. The home fries were SO salty and that's coming from someone who has a savory palate. I couldn't finish them. My boyfriend's omelete came out and was a lighter, different color and looked a lot fluffier which makes me think mine was kept on the skillet too long. The million dollar bacon was just bacon covered in maple syrup. It was so disappointing and definitely not worth the almost $7 for 4 pieces. We had to chase our server down for our check in the end. Our meal ended up being over $50 for the two of us. Considering the quality of the food and service, I wouldn't say it was worth it. This is the kind of place that pretends its "farm fresh" but really is the same quality as IHOP at a slightly more expensive price.
