    I texted a friend telling them about the ribs again they laughed and said I sound obsessed I told them obsession is worth it when food is this good

    St. Louis Ribs, Half Slab with sweet potato fries and coleslaw

    The ambiance was that of a typical bbq restaurant, big bar in the front for grabbing drinks but too noisy and cold to dine in. Get a table in the back for talking. Service was friendly with sweet tea refills frequent. I enjoyed the half rack of ribs. Nice smoke taste and it was a good portion. The onion basket was similar to the old onion loaf, lightly breaded onions. I would order this again anytime. The sweet tea was a hit but didn't like the unsweetened tea. Fries (potato and sweet potato) were good, not over cooked and good size and portion. The smoked turkey was a little dry but they have a few different bbq sauces to select from on the table. I preferred the sweet one because the others were too hot for me. My sister found the pulled pork a little too fatty. The chicken tenders coating was a little thick. They need to work on sides as the coleslaw, beans and the Mac and cheese were watery and underwhelming. We were visiting the area so will not be returning but if you want ribs and are in the area stop by (get the onions).

    this is a portion for a two year old

    Good meats but the side order portions for carry out are ridiculously small. This is fit for maybe a smaller child. Ate both the potato salad and the beans and its like I never ate at all.

    Texas Brisket Plate - Sliced
    Russell N.

    Absolutely horrible!!! Worst example of Texas Brisket Ever!!! Never Again!!! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else for BBQ

    FAT from one sandwich.. the bun the size of a hamburger bun!
    Linda H.

    Food was delivered by a very nice gentleman We opened up the food to find no utensils to eat the potato salad and coleslaw! (We are in a hotel for the night) The sandwich seemed very small for $16 plus and was full of fat The picture is the fat from one sandwich! I do not like to complain but really $40.00 worth of food..... We will not be back!

    Love some BBQ!

    In all honesty, I found the food here to be two stars AT BEST ... this was one of those meals I regretted spending money, or calories, on, when I left. I am a sucker for BBQ and up north, there just is not good BBQ to be found. Even the top-rated spots use electric smokers and sugary sauces. Given that Maryland is (to me) closer to the south, I hoped to grab some good old fashioned BBQ when I saw the 'food next exit' BBQ sign. The restaurant is in a cute, little MD town about 2 miles off Route 95. It's in a weird building ... I was kind of hoping to find a shack or roadhouse but it is more of a sit down restaurant. It is cozy in a 1990's style way with bright red walls and cheap blonde veneer wood finish. There are Blues concert posters and black and white photos of blues singers on the walls. I was seated in a booth in the bar area of worn red pleather ....the bar looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the Clinton administration with papers, an old box fan and other brick a brac scattered about. The bottles were a strange mix of liquor bottles you've seen at liquor stores but don't know what you'd do with. The restaurant portion seems nicer than the bar area but the entire restaurant has a bit of a shop worn vibe, including a window you pass on the way out where food supplies/boxes are stacked up like a warehouse. The food was regrettable. I did get a $10 off coupon through yelp, which took the sting out of the prices ... which seemed on the high side. I settled on a draft beer and the two meat platter. I chose pulled pork and brisket. They arrived and the brisket looked a bit dry and there was about 1/4 fat and 3/4 meat. The pulled pork looked a bit more like cole slaw and the meats were pretty greasy. I could taste no smoke ... if you told me that these meats were cooked in a crock pot, I'd believe it. I smelled no BBQ smoke outside of the restaurant, which went along with the smokeless taste. I covered the bland piles of meat in BBQ sauce, my favorite being the sweet sauce. The sauces were a bit sugary ... but at this point, I just needed something to make the meat taste like anything. It seemed the sauces were not homemade, except for the hot sauce. The mac and cheese side was good ... not the best I've had but better than some of the spots I've visited. The baked beans were awful. Basically a few spoonfuls of small reconstituted beans swimming in a cup of sweet, watery liquid. The meal was adequate but regrettable. I felt as though it was a bit of a waste of calories ... from sit down to paying the check, it was 20 minutes, so I did not waste much time eating and they didn't waste much time cooking. It was not true, authentic BBQ in my eyes ... more of a touristy version of semi-BBQ. In fairness, it did seem that many of the (mostly elderly) customers were repeats who knew the staff by name. While not my cup of tea, as a BBQ enthusiast, maybe someone living in a small town would find the social aspect more appealing. I'm glad I received $10 off ... with tip, this would have been a $30+ lunch otherwise.

    Burnt Ends
    Candy M.

    So I went searching for burnt ends here in the DC. Being I am from Memphis, I am looking for real BBQ. I asked in a Foodie group on FB about where to find some GOOD burnt ends. Someone suggest Red Hot and Blue in Laurel. I placed an order for burnt ends and catfish. The place is not too far from my home so that was a plus. Overall I did like the food. The burnt ends were flavorful and tender, the catfish was really good too. I will be ordering again tomorrow! Lol Here is a picture of the burnt ends. They are a nice size appetizer..

    I had a full slab of ribs, but they were bland. I'm not a fan of smoked ribs with the membrane still attached.

    I decided to give Mad Cow another try. I first visited when they opened and ordered the jerk tacos…read more(not sure if that's even on the menu anymore). Back then, I thought it was just okay. Today, I gave them another shot because Uber Eats was offering a buy one, get one free deal on the jerk chicken meal. I chose rice & peas with plantain for my sides. The chicken was cooked on the grill--which I love--because it really brings out the flavor in jerk chicken. I also requested my jerk sauce on the side since I prefer a dry rub style over a saucy one. The only drawback was the small bone pieces in the chicken and rice. That's something to be cautious about, especially if a child is eating the meal. The plantains were also inconsistent--some pieces were hard, while others were mushy. On the bright side, the coco bread was perfect and the Jamaican rum cake was phenomenal. Whoever baked that cake clearly took their time soaking it in rum. It reminded me of the way my grandmother used to make it--absolutely delicious. I would definitely order the rum cake again.

    The is my first review of November so I'm behind but will be catching up soon...lol But back to Mad…read moreCow I came on yesterday (11/9/25) around 1pm to meet up with some friends for Brunch. Usually with brunch we would do the bottomless mimosas and all but because I was driving I decided not to participate in that. And usually I would get chicken and waffles but I was in the mood for a burger. So I thought because their name is "Mad Cow" the burger would be the bomb...but nope it was not good at all. So I prefer a beef burger cooked medium with blue cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onions. When I burger got tot the table it was dry as a board. No blue cheese that I paid extra for and the burger was not cooked correctly it was cooked well done. Smdh. So the waiter brought me my blue cheese apologized about it and also gave me a mayo bottle. Even with the burger still was not good and the patty was so thick with no flavor not even salt and pepper was in it!! I tried their punch drink which was really good but for $15 a pop in a regular water glass was ridiculous. Make sure you don't get too tipsy as they already have like a 20% gratuity added on each of our checks no matter how small or big your group is which again is ridiculous! Will I come back...maybe only because I would like to try some Jamaican food they offer. But for brunch...it's a no for me!

My schedule was rearranged last minute on a Saturday so I decided to catch their brunch. The laurel location was the closest to me. I was able to reserve a spot at the bar on open table about an hour before arrival . It must have been a lucky day for me because there were plenty vacancies and I didn't need to make a reservation. There was live jazz playing. I sat at the bar - shout out to Nnamdi who was the bartender and my waiter. Food wise: brunch only offers the $55 unlimited food option for two hours. I was completely fine with this as I was able to taste multiple dishes. I had the fried deviled eggs, Rockefeller oysters, bang bang shrimp, deep fried snow crab legs, pork chop and grits, wings in hot honey lemon pepper (their signature sauce) and the white chocolate bread pudding I enjoyed everything except the deep fried crab legs. The cluster was hallow. I had more fried batter than crab meat. Deviled eggs were my favorite of all the things I tried. And the bread pudding was sinfully delicious . I wasn't able to finish my last two items ordered but luckily I was able to fit it in the to-go box. Most places that serve unlimited food don't allow to-go boxes so I was happy to not have my leftovers go to waste. I opted for the bottomless cocktails as well. I stuck to the mimosas and tried the different flavors. The pours were generous. Nnamdi was very attentive and I appreciate him answering all of my clarifying questions as it was my first time. Gratuity is included! I am excited to go back! Before leaving I ordered a cocktail (MisKiri IX) that wasn't included in the bottomless cocktails. It was good. A little too sweet for me but glad I tried it.

The atmosphere was warm and friendly, welcoming and not pretentious, a mix of couples, families, and groups of friends enjoying a night out. The restaurant was bustling, the bar area was nearly full and while we did have a reservation, it appeared not to be absolutely necessary. Service was friendly, prompt, and informative.    I started with one of their craft cocktails and our server recommended a beer for my friend. The drinks were perfectly refreshing and a good start to our evening. When my friend saw they had oysters, this convinced him we had chosen wisely. We selected a mix of their oyster offerings. They arrived chilled and with just the right amount of condiments making for a tantalizing slurp to start our dinner. For starters, we selected the Brussels Sprouts and the Roasted Beet Carpaccio. The Brussels were perhaps some of the best we've had in quite some time, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The goat cheese on the Beet Carpaccio was very good, but for me, the flavor profile wasn't quite there, it needed a little more acidity. For dinner, my friend selected the Shrimp and Grits, and I chose the Argentinian Steak. While quite good, constructive criticism would be that the vinegar in the chimichurri, smothered an otherwise perfectly cooked, flavorful steak and the rosemary overpowered the roasted potatoes. The grits, while delicious, were almost too creamy rich, but otherwise a delicious blend of sausage and shrimp. For dessert, we shared the Key Lime Pie and the Carrot Cake. The cake was very good, but we weren't fans of the hardened frosting top, and we wished the Key Lime Pie had even more tart, lime flavor.   The portions were plentiful, the price point was reasonable, and all plates were wonderfully presented. The friendly neighborhood environment, atmosphere, and service all enhanced our dining experience. Definitely give them a try, we will return and look forward to it.
