    Basement space with outdoor seating. Club members only for dinner. Lunch is open to the public. Beautiful setup. Service is excellent. Different prices for members and nonmembers and either is much more reasonable than prices outside the gates. Excellent part of an academy tour.

    Chefs, special, blueberry dessert - delicious!

    The restaurant is in a former bowling Alley, hence the name. Lots of dark wood and the first thing you see is the bar. It was lunch time, so we were not quite ready for a cocktail. Booths were comfortable and service by Amelia was definitely getting an A for effort. My wife had the French Dip and it was delicious, as were the accompanying French fries. I had the Chicken BLT with homemade chips. The sandwich was cooked fine, but I was frankly disappointed with the taste. I would not order it again, although the homemade chips were great. The French Dip is highly recommended to try. Our server tempted us with the Chef's special dessert. It was a French pastry filled with fresh blueberries with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was delicious!!

    Hit the "Smashup Burger" joint (food truck) at a outdoor concert venue and I have to go e them an…read moreA+....both their retro and their classic burger were spot on! Even my 2 YO Grandson enjoyed his first ever cheeseburger! The tomatoes were from the Eastern shore and juicy thick...the lettuce was "clean and fresh" and the burgers were smashed to perfection (a little crispy on the edges). Cool weather(breezy), good music vibes and Smashup burgers= recipe for success!

    This truck came to the Crofton Farmer's market for the first time in early July. I was excited to…read moretry their food because I've heard good things. This particular morning, they were offering a breakfast burger special: smash patty with bacon, egg, cheese, onions, jalapeños, and cilantro lime sauce. Their regular menu sells two different burgers: The Classic Double (lettuce, tomato, burger sauce) and The Retro Double (pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard). I opted for the retro double. The burger was good. It had a nice crust on the outside. There was enough ketchup and mustard on the burger to taste, but not so much that it's dripping off the sides when you bite into it. The fries were good. I wish they offered a bigger cup of them since they're almost $4. Burgers are $9.79, fries are $3.95, and drinks are $2.00. They also have merchandise like t-shirts, hats, and hoodies for sale. The employee that took my order was really friendly. I hope they make a return to the Crofton Farmer's market! I would definitely get burgers from them again.

    For what it is, basically a sandwich and beer restaurant, it's spot on! More so the sandwiches…read more Beers are on tap and in bottles; they're fine, nothing unique but a good selection. Have been here a few times and ordered it from DoorDash and everything has been great. They make an excellent burger. The chicken sandwiches are all good and their salads are not boring. One thing to know when you get up to order is there are two menus. One is the main one, and the other is just chicken. Both are good, and the orders are on the same bill- but it is a little strange. Prices are about normal for these days; have to pay extra for a side and drink, but the serving sizes are fair. Haven't had a bad sandwich yet and the shaved broccoli side is pretty great. Today had frickle fries, very awesomely decadent. Warning they are meal size but that may not be a bad thing depending on what you're after. Overall, go- it's great!

    I've been here several times, mostly during lunch, but I've also come in for dinner a couple of…read moretimes with my family. I've never had a long wait, either to order or for the food to come out, which is always appreciated. The staff has been consistently friendly, and the space itself is clean and well kept. High-top tables, good lighting, moderate noise level--everything feels in order whenever I'm there. Food-wise, Regional keeps things simple, and that's what I like about it. The Cubano sticks to the script and does it right. You really can't lose with it--good flavor, balanced, and just a solid sandwich overall. The smashburger is another no-frills win. Fresh beef, fresh ingredients, and everything complements each other without trying too hard. It's just done right. The cheesesteak isn't something I'd call a true Philly, but in a pinch it definitely holds you down. The meat is seasoned well, with onions, mushrooms, and cheese coming together for an enjoyable sandwich. I appreciate that Regional doesn't overcomplicate things. My only real critique was the roasted potato salad. I paid $3 for a cup, and while it tasted good, there was lettuce stuffed at the bottom to make it look fuller than it was. That rubbed me the wrong way, so I wouldn't order it again. Portion sizes overall are fair, prices feel reasonable, and I like that there's something for everyone on the menu. I've already been back multiple times and will continue to return. It's a good spot when you want to get away from all the fast-food options in the area.

    A great Father's Day spot for brunch!…read more Ordered the strawberry avocado toast, which was unexpectedly delicious and refreshing! My husband had the smoked salmon avocado toast and it was so filling he couldn't finish it! We got the kid's meal for our child, which I'm assuming he enjoyed very much as well? He was speechless for sure the fresh-made poptart was pretty good! Many thanks to Huey for taking care of us! Our seating was upstairs with other families also there for Father's Day, but seating was much quicker than I thought :) It was a little pricey for two adults and a toddler, but it was worth the visit go check it out!

    Went to Iron Rooster recently and overall had a really good experience. We started with the BBQ…read moreRooster Bites and they were honestly delicious. They are definitely lighter on the sauce, so if that's your preference these are perfect. Personally, I like my wings a little saucier, so I would probably ask for extra sauce next time. The chicken itself was fried perfectly and the portion size was pretty solid. For my main, I got the buffalo chicken wrap with no buffalo sauce and it was amazing. The lettuce, guac, and pico all tasted fresh and paired really nicely with the breaded chicken in the wrap. My only complaint with it is they go pretty light on the guac and pico, so I wish there was a bit more of both. The pricing overall was fair too and didn't feel over the top for the quality and portions. The fries that came with the wrap deserve their own mention because they were phenomenal. Crispy golden brown on the outside with a soft, fluffy inside. Honestly, I'd come back just for the fries alone. I requested outdoor seating when making the reservation and they have a really nice outdoor section with a great atmosphere and view. They did a good job with the space they had, but the tables are pretty close together, so you can hear basically every conversation around you. The chairs were also a bit smaller and not the most comfortable for longer seating. Service was great all around. Our server was very polite and even helped my very undecided sister choose her meal. Everyone was friendly and it definitely feels like a nice place to bring friends or family. My only real complaint, and honestly this applies to a lot of places nearby, is the parking. It was pretty rough. Other than that, definitely a place I'd come back to.
