Queen Anne's is only one county away from where I live, Anne Arundel, but the Eastern shore feels like a whole other world. L is for Looneys Pub in Maple Lawn: Looney's Pub has been a staple around UMD campus for many years. I went to college at Arizona State University; so I had never experienced Looney's until January 2025 when I went to the College Park location for a friend's birthday party, which my girlfriend & I enjoyed. My g/f is a lifelong Marylander and had been Looney's before at least, both of our most local location in Maple Lawn. In September 2025, my g/f & I visited the Maple Lawn as they were having a Ravens kickoff pep rally. They had some music, cheerleaders, etc. They were busy, but once we got seated, service was decent. We pigged out on their delicious crab cheese fries, which we remembered we enjoyed at our friend's birthday party. Overall, Looney's is a good option over here.

Our table got a grilled cheese, garden salad with grilled chicken, and a mound of fries. The grilled cheese was Looney's style, which is their way of saying a classic grilled cheese but with bread that's the thickness of Texas toast and it's super cheesy! The grilled cheese also comes with fries, which are good - not the best fries I've ever had but perfect for what I was craving. The grilled chicken was an extra cost, but the salads are fairly customizable. My friend asked for no mushrooms and no dressing and they were happy to accommodate. If you don't like a loud atmosphere obviously as a sports bar this place isn't for you, but it never felt overwhelming and we could clearly hear the trivia results (half of the TVs and a projector state the question). Pro tip: sit close to the table because you have 90 seconds to answer and submit after each question. The crushes here are also extremely tasty - highly recommend!

We ordered the wings, a burger, and the Carolina pulled pork sandwich, and everything was amazing.

It's always hit or miss trying new spots when you're traveling, but this one was definitely a win.

There is the caveat that I ordered carry-out instead of dining in this time and it was a much more seamless process. I placed my order on their website (which is powered by Toast) and it was ready perfectly in time with my designated pickup time. My order came out ready and hot and all the pizzas and garlic bread came out great. In retrospect, I don't know that I would've ordered the garlic bread because I was expecting more of a garlic breadstick situation instead of a sauceless cheese pizza, but that's more of my own fault for not looking at any pictures first. All in all, it was a much more positive experience and I appreciate the management for working so hard to fix any road bumps in service.

Since we sat outside we had to go inside to place our order and then a server or someone that worked there would deliver our food. If it was a drink then they would make the drink on the spot. I think it was a bit confusing because when you sit down at a table outside you'd assume maybe someone would notice but that isn't the case. I think that's just something people should ahead on time. It may be the same case inside where you have tables to sit down at but no server to take your order, ect. Otherwise I didn't get much here other than fries and Guinness on Draft so I can at least review something food related.. Fries, crispy, there is a crunch in every bite, topped with parmesan cheese and parsley, it is pretty good for something to snack on. The Guinness on Draft is surprisingly extremely smooth and was very enjoyable; I would get it again! My friends got the poutine and I'd say after sampling it, it's great. Fries with cheese curds topped with gravy. Savory, Delicious, and filling. I'll most likely pay a 2nd visit! That Guinness is calling me!

I ended up biking and there's a bike stand really close by. My friend was craving fish and chips, so we ventured out this way. Because we came on a Thursday they had a deal going where if you ordered a pie, you could get a beer for free. Of course I had to partake, so I ordered the special pie, which was a masala, chicken, curry pie, and it was quite good. A bit small for the price point but with the beer included totally worth it also because their fries are so good. I could demolish over a pound of those fries. They were thick potato and maybe the extra added bonus of having to use a glass ketchup bottle added to it. My friend and I were also taught how to properly hit the ketchup bottle to get the ketchup out by the bartender. You find the 57 on the bottle at an angle and bump you palm there that instead of hitting the bottom and hoping and praying that ketchup comes out. It actually worked or at least it was more efficient than trying to hit the bottom of the bottle upside down. I had never had a hand pumped beer before, but it was quite good. They are a warm beer rotating and it was quite good, it especially paired well with the pie or fish and chips.
