    We came for Sunday brunch on August 23rd, and once again, this place did not disappoint! We've been here many times, and it continues to be one of our favorite spots in Annapolis. The food, service, music, and atmosphere are consistently on point. What really stands out is the level of customer service. The manager is always visible, checking in with guests and making sure everyone is enjoying their experience. That kind of attention and hospitality says a lot about how much they value their customers. This place is truly a hidden gem in Annapolis. The vibe is great, the food delivers, and the service keeps us coming back. They hit the mark every single time for us. Highly recommend!

    Chesapeake Pasta
    Khoi N.

    I really like this new rebrand from the old Smashing Grapes. The interior was very dark and intimate. Our server Billy was attentive and kind. He let me know about the half off wine special and half off pasta Wednesday specials as well. We ordered the salmon with Brussels sprouts wild catch dish, crab dip, and the Cheseapeake pasta. The salmon was cooked perfectly. The pasta had a rich lobster cream sauce with plenty of lump crab meat and shrimp. The crab dip was flambéed table-side and it came with hot naan chips. I'll definitely be coming back to take advantage of their specials throughout the week. I'd recommend making reservations especially if the Naval academy is having any events. Don't forget to register with their rewards point system to earn and redeem points.

    The farmers chicken Cobb was delicious!!! I substituted the chicken for steak. As you can see, it was delicious!

    Came here for a weekday lunch with one of my good girlfriends, and The Lodge in Annapolis definitely knows how to make an impression. Let's start with the ambiance--because wow. The space is warm, stylish, and gives that upscale-but-still-comfortable vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. It feels like the kind of place that effortlessly transitions from a casual lunch to a full-on event. Now, the food... it was just okay. Not bad by any means, but nothing that really stood out or had me thinking about it later. That said, everything was presented well and came out timely. What truly elevated the experience was the service. It was phenomenal. Attentive without hovering, friendly without feeling forced--exactly what you hope for but do not always get. The highlight for me was actually after we finished eating. The manager, Richard, took the time to walk us through their event spaces, and I was genuinely impressed. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous--each with its own vibe--and the pricing felt surprisingly reasonable for what you're getting. If you are planning a celebration, this is definitely a place to consider. Overall, a great lunch date spot with top-tier service and a beautiful atmosphere. I would come back--next time maybe for drinks or to host an event.

    Beautiful Layout

    Beautiful and unique ambiance with excellent service. If you don't want to read the details, it's definitely a place to check out if you're in the area. First and foremost, what caught my eye about this place is the layout--very welcoming and warm without overdoing it. I really appreciate restaurants that avoid generic designs, and this one is far from ordinary. The service was excellent. Our waitress confidently displayed her knowledge of the menu and was polite and attentive. Wait times were reasonable, and the staff in general was very helpful. Now, the food--if I had to choose one word to describe it, it would be excellent . Absolutely no complaints. Portion-to-price ratio, taste, presentation, and the pairing of components were all spot-on. For reference, we tried the Catch of the Day, the Chef's Special, and the Snake Bite Pasta.

    Hot Honey Fried Chicken
    Carlena F.

    Review from September 2025. I really enjoyed my visit to The Lodge in Annapolis. The atmosphere is beautiful and inviting from the moment you walk up to the entrance--it feels upscale but still cozy. We ordered the Brussels sprouts to start, and they were delicious--crispy, flavorful, and tossed with the perfect mix of onions and sauce. I had the hot honey chicken sandwich for my meal, and it was seasoned well, juicy, and came out on a wooden board with a fresh pickle and veggies. The fries were hot and crispy, and everything tasted freshly made. My husband also had a burger and really enjoyed his meal too. We went with a large group and were seated in a private room. The servers were friendly and attentive, and the restaurant itself is clean with a stylish lodge-like vibe. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    Fire pit
    Akeima L.

    The atmosphere was gorgeous and the food was tasty. We sat in the outdoor patio section, towards the end of fall, where each table had a fire pit . I would definitely return; it's perfect for nearly any occasion.

    Me and my family visit for a birthday and Mikela was our server. She did an amazing job and the food was delicious! The were very accommodating to all 9 of us.

    Lamb chops
    Quels P.

    Stopped by *The Lodge* on a Saturday with a friend--no reservation, no wait. The space was clean, welcoming, and blissfully quiet (zero noise chaos, which felt like a luxury). The staff was kind and attentive, and things started off strong. I sampled a sweet, pear-forward Prosecco that was so good I ordered a glass immediately. Then came the flaming cheese dip--cheesy, flavorful, and served with perfectly seasoned toasted bread that honestly deserved its own spotlight. But then... the lamb. Due to a mix-up, my entrée was rushed and came out overcooked and underwhelming. Definitely not the flavor-packed chops I was hoping for. Still, despite the entrée mishap, I'll be back. The Lodge has promise--and with a proper order, I'm betting they can deliver a truly great meal.

    The Service is impeccable and our server Payton was incredibly professional, pleasant smile, and extremely knowledgeable. Great food choices as well. This experience will have us coming back time and time again! She's a credit to the Lodge's establishment Thank You "Spoon"

    Mocktail and bread
    Monique F.

    This place man o man! What a place! I had the best service, good food, the ambiance was perfect. Our waitress was so informative about the specials and menu. The crab dip was really good and served with naan bread. My friend loved her pizza, it was perfect. I had the braised shot rib. The only thing I would change about this dish would be the mashed potatoes, a little more flavor would be nice or make them garlic mashed potatoes. I was so full I took a doggie bag home lol we both did! I had an amazing mocktail that was delicious! I can't wait to dine there again!

    West End Grill, Naptown -- Unforgiven Edition…read more It's a hell of a thing, killing a plate of green beans. West End happy hour. Adam behind the bar slinging John Dalys for $6.75 like Little Bill forgot to outlaw liquor in Big Whiskey. Then dinner rode into town. Chicken Cordon Bleu: 4.5/5. Moist as hell, ham and cheese doing exactly what God and France intended. Only crime? Needed more sauce. Not enough to hang the cook, but enough to knock half a star off the bounty. Then came the risotto. I believe it was forged somewhere beneath the earth's crust. One million degrees. Molten fucking steel. I tried to approach it. It threatened my family. No rating. By the time that thing reaches an edible temperature, Clint Eastwood will be smiling in a movie. But those slow-cooked green beans? Jesus. Sweet onions, what tasted like some ham-hock sorcery, cooked down until everything knew everybody else's name. I hit them with a dash of Tabasco and suddenly we weren't eating a side anymore. We were settling a score. Top-five green beans I've ever eaten. And understand something: I come from the South. Green beans aren't vegetables down there. They're a competitive sport. I ordered a second damn bowl. Adam kept the John Dalys coming, the happy-hour price stayed ridiculous, and when I asked his favorite movie? Unforgiven. Well, Adam... "Deserve's got nothing to do with it." Except tonight it does. Those green beans deserve five stars, a second order, and their own goddamn horse. Fork around and find out, Naptown.

For a restaurant with a full bar, it was surprising they had no mezcal and were supposedly out of top-shelf bourbon, yet still served me a drink that tasted overly sweet and nothing like the premium bourbon I ordered. Another letdown was the lack of bread service. Other J. Alexander's locations usually serve croissants, so having none available took away from the experience. The food didn't make up for it either. The steak lacked flavor and felt low quality for the price. The "fried chicken platter" was basically oversized chicken tenders marketed as an entrée, and the mac and cheese was watery and bland instead of rich and creamy. Overall, the experience felt inconsistent and poorly executed. Between the missing staples, questionable bar service, and underwhelming food, this location did not feel worth the cost.

    Girls' day turned girl evening and rightfully so. Netflix and chill with a house full of ladies…read more When the stomach started to growl it was easy for the token private chef friend to make the easiest and best recommendation. Full On Craft Eats. The Toast online ordering system was easy to navigate and adorned with pictures of every menu item. I could not get past the onion rings on the starter menu hoping they would taste as good as they looked. My friend offered to split the Slammin Salmon sandwich and onion rings since she has had it before and never finished the entire thing. I took her up on it and the order was placed. A quick ask for mom to grab it on the way home and the food made its way back quickly. WOW is all I can say. When you order food to go there is a level of expectation that it will not be as good as it is at the restaurant, especially fries and onion rings. But in this instance WOW. Talk about food that travels well. Fourteen minutes away and the food was still warm, the onion rings were so crisp, and the garlic and dill aioli and onion ring sauce were just right. The Slammin Salmon was served on ciabatta bread that was not too soft not too hard, with salmon cooked perfectly. The lemon dill aioli was a game changer so much that my friend's advice to order extra was well received and committed to memory. The onion rings lived up to the hype, cooked perfectly with a crust I cannot even explain. The kind you bite into without losing the entire onion from the breading. Dip it into the sauce and you have a match made in heaven. Half the sandwich was more than enough but the next day I would have loved some leftovers. Now for the extra razzle dazzle. I left to visit a friend in DC and sent him the menu, shared my experience and he was locked in to try. Online ordering was closed since they were closing at 10pm so I called as a last-ditch effort since the anticipation was already there. The nicest most warm individual answered ten minutes before closing and was more than happy to take my order. She even made sandwich recommendations. I quickly arrived at a shopping center that was easy to get in and out of. Walking in you immediately arrive at the counter and takeout area to your left with a nice bar area a short walk past on the right. The cooks and wait staff were having the best time using the 6/7 saying that was all over social media late last year. They were considerate when they noticed I was in the restaurant, but I assured them I loved their energy. I see why the food is so good because the energy shows it was made with great vibes and laughter all around. As I grabbed the bag to leave the hostess stopped me to add another fork and extra napkins since I would need them to add the pickled veggies on my sandwich. Such a nice touch. Thirty plus minutes to DC and the food still did not need to be reheated. The Mai Thai sandwich was a hit with flavors that married well and the onion rings delivered again. The Spicy Thai wings were good for wings but typical. They had a lot to compete with. Full On Craft Eats Annapolis, not to be confused with Rockville, is an experience you will want to repeat again and again. Good food fast that travels well (yes that is a thing). A great addition to any table worth gathering at. I did it twice in one day!!
