    This was my first time at this Restaurant. I heard about it though. My gf wanted to do happy hour so she suggested this place. I said if you're driving. I'm riding lol. It did not disappoint. The food was delicious! We arrived during happy hour time. So we ordered our menu from the Happy Hour list. I ordered the salmon sliders. As well as the mussels. Enjoyed it all. The ambiance was nice and they had plenty of seats available since we arrived early around 06:30 pm The Band started around 8pm We had a good time. They do have a small dance floor. Also a small bar area with plenty of booths and tables available as well as VIP tables. I was definitely feeling the vibes here And It was all good. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you haven't already.

    I have heard about this spot forever but never been able to go. I finally went for a Commanders event watch party. The DJ Reddz was everything as he was getting the people excited. The food was really good. The southern fried chicken was good but not seasoned as much as I would have liked. The mashed potatoes and asparagus were flavorful. The wings were bomb and flavored well. The steak was seasoned perfectly and cooked well. The salmon bites were good we just added a bit of hot sauce. My drink the reunited was tequila based and sweet.

    My friends & I went to this establishment after the winery. Some of my friends ordered several dishes, so I could not capture everything that was ordered from them, just tue ones that were seated by me. The food: I ordered the Whole Red Snapper Dinner. I ordered mine to be blackened and broiled. I must say I was delightfully surprised at how delicious it was. The fish was seasoned + cooked to perfection and was very juicy. My only issue was that it was too much bones in the fish, which made it a bit difficult to eat freely. My friends ordered "bite-sized" cauliflower, which was also quite delicious. My other friend got the salmon sliders, and they were very thick and juicy. I believe she really liked them, and she devoured them pretty quickly. I think the food in general is very large portions and you will get your money's worth, even the drinks and appetizers. Unfortunately, the service here was not the best. I had to keep begging for water and it to go box for my meal. Our way to also did not fill our cups of water that often. While I am someone that give grace to wait staff, I still found it a bit interesting that she did not feel our waters up quite often. The ambiance of the restaurant was a split of a restaurant and a lounge. I think it becomes somewhat of a club/lounge at a certain time; I believe at 9:00 p.m. or later. I will say that this place is a bit of a drive it's outside of Brandywine Maryland (I think 20 minutes outside of it), so definitely carpool if you can. Try to put in an early reservation on weekend nights because it does start to get crowded at a certain time. I would give the place more stars if the wait staff improved tremendously.

    I hate being the person to give 1-star reviews, but yepp... here goes.... This place was terrible, and terrible it was. The only reason 1-star is not acceptable is because the dj played good music, and the grilled catfish was decent. Oh but moving on to everything else... My good girlfriend and I planned about 3-weeks in advance to visit this establishment, and she decided to make a reservation for us. We arrived on time, and was seated immediately. But right after that, is where the problems began. Our server, whose name escapes me, had her first day yesterday (4/14/24), and was scheduled to our section. I tried to give her grace, but boy it was tough. Our drinks took OVER 30 minutes to arrive, but we had some good music surrounding us to keep the vibe going. The 30-minutes also - may not have been such a strain if our tables didn't have the advertised "2-hour maximum seating time" sign posted. Moving on, our server kept coming over to ask if we needed anything. Last thing we needed, was our food. That we ordered an HOUR AND 15 MINUTES earlier.......... I guess the server notices our frustration and walks over to the table to tell us "a few more minutes".. as if a table to our left AND a table to our right, both of who were seated after us, received their food before us. FINALLY - we get our food and my God it was below average. Like really -- dry French toast cold grits? Seriously? This is what we waited an hour and a half for? And oh - since we're being 100% honest here, OUR SERVER LEFT HALFWAY THROUGH OUR VISIT. Never have I ever had that happen to me. And before she left, she told us that Piano Keys scheduled THREE 1pm reservations, which brought a huge kitchen-staff delay. Not sure why that even mattered 2-hours after our arrival. Remember - 2 hour limit right?.... So - overall, you can play the same music the dj plays in your car either leaving, or visiting another restaurant. This establishment is terrible. & simply put, neither of us would return or recommend this place to anyone else.

    What can I say, Sunday Brunch on 6/22/25 was Amazing! The manager on duty told us she was short staffed but you couldn't tell because her customer service along with our waitress was so attentive to our table. The food was on point along with the drinks and vibes of the band! Of course I'll be back!!!

    Nightclub atmosphere! Dining area and dance/lounge area in the back. If you are looking for a date night where you can have an intimate place to dine, this is not it. The music is always obnoxiously loud and it is difficult to have a conversation seated next to each other without speaking loudly. Live DJ, live music often is nice to have in a town Brandywine's size. The drinks are heavy pours so stay alert! The food was okay. The service was decent. This seems to be the "hot spot" in Brandywine. The crowd is female dominant, no diversity, and seems Jerusalema is their theme song... always on the DJs playlist. This a good place aunties and uncs to shake a leg plus cool for girls night out... a date night spot to eat, drink, and dance but definitely not romance!! Give Piano Keys a try for yourself and decide!

    The only thing that impressed me was my waitress Jordan and the Dj music selection other than that I'm good. I came to do brunch directly at opening time and things were still being set up are far as the Buffett which is the only option for you to receive at this time. The waffle was literally just a waffle that you can make at home and the omelette itself was a mess. The way the chef threw my toppings to one side and cheese in another was not tasteful nor was it presentable (reasons why there isn't a picture). On the opposite side of the omelette station, there was some fresh fruit and bakery items. None of the fruit was sweet in the bakery items tasted store brought. The unlimited mimosas were literally juiced down such a disappointment. Now, as far as the sides that you could order with your buffet, the greens were amazing. The macaroni was good however, the grits were a no for me. The wings and salmon were pretty tasteful, but the bacon just was thinly slice. Also, it took a while for the bus boy to come over and clean our table so as we're eating, we had dirty plates sitting not cool. With this experience, I probably would not come back or recommend but at least I tried it

    Great experience my last trip to Piano Keys. My Jameson on the rocks was hittin, (thanks ReRe, you are the best Bar tender) The Cobb salad was the best EVER. The bacon, was still warm. Just like I like it. Thanks Cook.

    Love that there is  PLENTY of parking! Here to support my #Skinmander fan Sistar!. Pull-up ...

    Plenty of parking! And the food was divine. The bartender off of knew her way around a drink. The atmosphere was vibrant and where our watch body was was just private enough but still gave access to everything happening around you.

Most of the time fish is a hit. But every now and then ( last night) to be precise, my fish was over cooked. I had to bite and pull with my teeth. By the time I started eating and realized it was overcooked, the kitchen was closed. The drinks don't always taste like what you asked for but they are strong if that's what you like. They have a police officer at the door most nights, which makes it feel a bit safer. It's definitely a cheers type of bar, everyone knows everyone. Music is old school for the most part, but they have a jukebox so the music can be adjusted. It's a nice hole in the wall. The bathroom really sucks. You have to dam near turn sideways and use the stall with the door opened. That's the one thing I hate about this spot. Seems like they tried to turn one unisex bathroom into 2 stalls. I'm pretty sure the men's room looks the same.

The space itself is huge and they do a lot of hosting for bands which I'm sure is a good time. The bar is a wrap around seating at least 20-30 and at the time of our arrival the bar was full and the main seating area only had one occupied table. The inside is lowly lit and the music was great, definitely a vibe in there and I can understand how despite their reviews they have a solid patron base. We ordered: Strawberry Lemon Drop - 10/10 no notes Calamari - 8/10 - great texture but a small portion at that price point. I prefer mine with a remoulade and they only serve it with sweet chili sauce. They had remoulade with the catfish nuggets but when I asked the waitress she said remoulade was the salad. When I tried to explain that no it was a sauce she just said they didn't have it......ok. Deviled eggs with crab - 8/10 - they were ok. The eggs were a little overcooked to my liking but they were horrible. Wings - 10/10 - sweet and spicy, great crunch. Crabbed stuffed salmon - 6/10 - came with two sides and he got rice and spinach. It was just ok but at $42 you wanted it to wow you. There is an automatic 18% gratuity regardless your party size so that's something to look out for. Overall it was a bit overpriced to my liking for a location that's not more like a local bar than anything. I would definitely come back for more wings and Backyard but might opt for the bar instead.
