Finding the restaurant itself was easy, but parking was another story -- the one‑way street and…read moresmall lot made it a challenge. When we walked in, the cashier immediately asked whether we were dining in or taking out. We chose to dine in. We ordered the roast beef sandwich and the pastrami sandwich, along with potato pancakes. They brought out a full assortment of pickles and pickled vegetables. Unfortunately, they only offer one diet option: Dr Pepper Zero, no other diet sodas from the fountain or in bottles. The potato pancakes were a disappointment -- mostly batter with very little shredded potato. The pickled vegetables also lacked flavor and didn't really taste pickled. Our table wasn't cleared at any point during the meal, and the waiter stood nearby waiting for us to finish, which felt a bit uncomfortable. The desserts looked amazing, but we were too full to try them. We also couldn't take anything to go since we had plans for the rest of the day and didn't want it sitting in the car. Next time, we'll come back specifically to try the desserts.

Had made reservation, but turns out they were not needed as there were only one or two other patrons present. + Waitress was very capable and attentive and gave us choices for sides to accompany the steaks. + Food was prepared in reasonable time (given no competing orders). + Steak was OUTSTANDING! Ridiculously thick and large cuts, super juicy and tender. Even well-done was margarine-soft! +Sides were excellent as well. + Dessert (lava cakes and ice cream) were large enough to split 3 ways. +Check was managed at the table with handheld device and cc. 0 (neutral) Price of about $40 was reasonable for huge rib steak (took home half of each), garlic green beans, and potatoes/fries/onion rings, and lava cake and pareve ice cream. So it sounds like a fabulous evening, right??? BUT... -Despite a seat "away from door", the place is tiny and there is no barrier between open door and seating area. -Restaurant was very cold throughout the meal and cold gusts from the door occurred on each opening. -By the end of the meal, the room was 60 degrees and dropping. The waitress told us there had been numerous complaints to management but nothing changed. -We seriously ate with coat and fingerless gloves on. We were surprised by how few patrons were there when we entered, as every other Monday night had been packed and sometimes the specials sold out. Clearly, guests don't want to eat in 60 degree restaurant. Considering the difference in number of patrons this visit, the management would be well-advised to do something (anything) quickly to remedy the situation. My personal recommendations include baseboard heating around room and a door barrier. While there are other space and cosmetic issues that would improve the place, heating must be the first task. Such a shame this terrific restaurant is facing (and will continue) to face poor attendance due to physical issues that influence customer comfort. I guess our next visit will be in the spring.

As most people coming here, already know about it and also there isn't many other places to eat nearby. That and because they have night with deals ($10 meat burger night ...). Big menu ... so, as usual when there is a such a large variety on the menu (seafood, salad, burgers, BBQ etc...) nothing it going to really stand out and the safest choice is burgers and fried food (hard to mess up). I got a house salad, that was sort of meh, i.e. fine but no great shakes with too many raw onions & olives. The Beyond Burger was well done and they have relish, which is a plus (many places don't have that condiment). The regular burger was good (so I was told). My son had the chicken parm, and the pasta was chewy and underdone. They have trivia night, which looks like fun There is a 3% charge to all orders if you are paying by credit card The decor is fun and there are baseball cards in the front lobby and the men's bathroom. I hope there is security watching these cards as some of them looked expensive. It was cool to see Eddie Murray baseball cards.

I'm leaving this review after making multiple attempts to address this matter privately and…read morereceiving no response. My husband and I visited Jilly's Bar & Grill in Pikesville on February 27, 2026. This was our second visit. We ordered several items, including stuffed shrimp, a Greek salad, and wings. There was an issue with the stuffed shrimp. The only stuffed shrimp listed on the menu is tempura stuffed shrimp, yet we were served broiled stuffed shrimp. When I calmly brought this to our server's attention, she acknowledged it was a mistake and suggested placing a new order, even though the kitchen was already closed. I did not ask for the food to be remade and only intended to point out the inconsistency. Shortly after, a woman who had been seated nearby approached me and asked about my order. She later identified herself as Chrissy, the General Manager. During the conversation, she stated, "We always try to correct customers." I explained that I believed the issue was with the menu, not the customer. I felt the interaction was handled in a way that was dismissive and uncomfortable, especially as it took place in front of others. The food quality also did not meet my expectations. The $16 Greek salad appeared to have lettuce and olives that were not fresh to me, and the wings were dry. We left most of the food uneaten. Despite this experience, we paid our bill in full and tipped 22%, bringing our total to $160.51. I also want to share how the situation felt from my perspective. My husband and I were the only young Black couple seated among a group that appeared to include staff or management. The tone of the interaction left me feeling dismissed and disrespected. That is my personal experience. After our visit, I sent a detailed email on March 2, 2026, and a follow-up on March 9, 2026. I did not receive any response or acknowledgment. I believe most businesses deserve the opportunity to address concerns directly, which is why I reached out first. The lack of response ultimately led me to leave this review. I have not returned since and hope ownership reviews both the service experience and management approach at this location.

Once I was done there, I headed over to the cash register area. I grabbed a couple of bags of chips to go along with the sandwiches. I wanted to get a regular iced tea out of their refrigerator area. Unfortunately, the only kind they had was peach tea so even though it's not what I really wanted, I still got one. I decided to dine in to have my sandwich fresh and hot. Overall, the flavor was good. Was not piled high with corn beef like I've had at other places, but it was still pretty good.
