Small but excellent menu! My husband and I ate here twice during our stay in Baltimore. We each got something different both visits and everything was wonderful. Highly recommend the Buratta, the brick oven pizza, Maryland Crab soup if you like spicy, the crab dip pizza appetizer, and the Tuscan burger! Staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was cozy.

A pre-concert meal. Though the service was leaving something to be desired after our first server Jeremy was cut for the day. The food was delicious and the location was perfect. We ordered crab soup, a pizza, crabcakes and the Bolognese.

Delicious food! Amazing atmosphere and great service. The brunch Omelette was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. The burger is also really good.

Cozy intimate place in the hotel. Bar food but well done and a reasonable price. The folks working there were super attentive and friendly. I had the shrimp pizza.

I tried B&O for the first time 2 weeks ago for happy hour, I've been 4 times since. Needless to say pretty good experiences. I'm usually not the biggest fan of smoked wings but The wings are really really good. Each time I've tried the drink of the day I've been thoroughly impressed there bartender Matt really takes his craft serious. The staff is always very friendly & courteous. Also it's gorgeous inside, check them out if you're in the downtown area.

Great service. The place was very busy. The staff was extremely friendly and was very attentive. Every person did every job, the true benchmark of teamwork. The food was great. I got the chicken and waffle. Mrs. Wally got the French Toast. We each got the chicken sausages, cooked just a bit crispy, juicy and full of flavor. The building is a repurposed train headquarters for the historic Baltimore and Ohio (B&O on the Monopoly board for you game night enthusiasts). Flanked by two bars, the dining room has a map of the original rail line on the wall.

Had a great lunch at the B&O Brasserie and ordered their Signature Burger, it was the grand-slam dish of the day. It was cooked perfect med-rare. A marvelous place for a downtown lunch. They have a very nice happy-hour as well. The Hotel Monaco is located just minutes from the Inner Harbor & Charm’tastic Mile.

I came here with my boyfriend for a quick bite before we went to the nearby museum and was met with an awkward greeting from one of the waitresses. After randomly starring at us, she finally greeted us and sat us. We both enjoyed the crab and spinach dip and a few drinks. The food is great; probably need to work on greetings 😬 **Update to this post We went back for drinks when we visited Baltimore last month and we enjoyed our visit. Better cocktails and great calamari! Very good!

The food and service were excellent here. I went during Christmas break while staying at the Kimpton on a staycation. The steak was something i have NEVER experienced before . It was delicious. I wish i had a picture before i devoured it. It was super pretty also. I have issues with the menu changing or a lot of items being unavailable at random times due to short staffing. Hopefully this was resolved because i really enjoyed this place. And would love to Go back

We were delighted to find out that this place is open until 10:00 pm (a rare find in Baltimore) when we were in the neighborhood later one evening and needed a drink and a snack. The space is gorgeous - super high ceilings, giant chandelier, velvet couches - a very old school elegant vibe. The beer and wine selection were small, but very good. We split the rigatoni bolognese, which was phenomenal. The pasta was cooked properly and the sauce was chunky and tangy and amazing. Would definitely come back for a real meal at some point.

I visited B&O ahead of a concert at CFG Bank Arena (it's right down the street) this weekend, and it was the perfect spot for what we needed. We had an early 5pm reservation on a Friday, and while it was a bit quiet when we arrived, the place was packed by the time we left. One thing to note: I made the reservation for 6 people a few weeks in advance, and it was the only time left. I'd recommend planning ahead, especially if you have a larger group. Our early res meant we also had access to the 4-6pm Happy Hour Menu, which had a few apps and drinks at great prices. We started the meal with a round of drinks, the crab dip pizza and wings from the happy hour menu, and the Burrata from the regular dinner menu. The burrata, wings, and almost all of the cocktails were some of our highlights of the meal! Overall, I'd same this place has your typical American bar and grill vibes, in a more upscale space. With how crowded it got, service was a little slow, but our waitress was super kind and helpful, you could tell they were just a bit underwater on a busy Friday. We still had a great time, and you can't beat the location if you're hitting a show down the block!

Great restaurant in remodeling hotel in Baltimore. Service was fantastic. Super attentive and friendly. Inside is typical bar w stools, booths and tables. It's pretty big inside w windows looking out on the street. The food was great had salad and burger. Burger was tender juicy and flavorful w bread that wasn't too think and overbearing. Give it a try if in area seems to be light lunch so you can talk and do business meeting if you need

Really enjoyed my steak dinner here. The cut had great flavor and was tender. The garlic butter on top made it even better. Everything felt fresh and made with care.

So, before I get into this review, I'll say that I've been here many times. I'm a longtime customer of Kimpton Hotels, and I've stayed at the Hotel Monaco (where the restaurant is located) a dozen times or more. Always end up getting drinks or breakfast and have always enjoyed it. Not sure what went wrong today. There was a big wedding at the hotel last night, and when we went down for brunch this morning, the place was packed with exhausted celebrants. There were three of us -- we got squeezed into a two-top and the host told us, flat-out, that they were trying to save the bigger tables for the large groups at the hotel (any other time, seating 3 adults at a four-top would be perfectly normal). But whatever. A note, before I go on: the evening before, we'd gone there for cocktails and there were just 5 or 6 people in the restaurant. Just as many staff. This morning, the place was PACKED and they had (visibly, anyway) just three people working. If you're the GM at this place, take note of this. ANYWAY, we sat for about 20 minutes before being offered coffee or water or anything. Another 20 or so before we could order meals. Had to ask for everything. "Can we have some utensils, please?" "May we have some salt and pepper, please?" And so on. 2 out of 3 meals, once they got to the table, were fine. Not great, but *adequate*. But the third was straight-up BAD: an omelette so overcooked that it was dry as a bone and inedible. Really disappointing. Not sure if people called out sick or what was going on, but they were totally unprepared for the crowd they were serving (which is silly given there was a big wedding the night before and revelers tend to want breakfast and Bloody Marys and such the morning after). TL; DR: they should have been ready for this. Like I said, I've been here many times. The space is beautiful and inviting and the staff is generally good-natured and fun. But they were totally out of their depth today. Kimpton nearly always has cool restaurants in their hotels and the food, across the board, is nearly always great. Today's experience was not close to being up to that standard.

Great place for a nice dinner before a show at the Hippodrome. We had some happy hour special cocktails and appetizers. We also enjoyed our dinners and the staff was very helpful and friendly.

They accommodated us for last minute reservations on a Saturday night before we hopped over to the hippodrome for a show. We were sat promptly at 530 and took advantage of the last few minutes of happy hour. Drink specials were on point! $5 beer/$6 wine/$7 cocktail! Few food options also. Our waitress was awesome, she was so attentive despite how packed this place got. The crab pizza was very good, the dough was cooked perfectly and I spotted a few piece of actual lump crab meat. The wings, could've done without- pretty dry and small. Spicy pork meatballs were nothing special and not spicy at all, but good. Burger was tasty and tender- pesto Mayo was a good touch- and the fries cooked to perfection.

Six days later, we still talk about our incredible meals at B&O American Brasserie. The Burrata Salad plate was stupendous, and entrees (Ginocchi & Shirt Rib and Rigatoni Bolognese), absolute perfection. Drinks, ambiance, the skilled-bartender, waitstaff and dessert shone as well. Perhaps, our favorite dining experience while visiting Baltimore!

The crab was delicious and full of meat. The oysters were also good. We also ordered a sampler platter, which included lobster tails, mussels, and large shrimp -- all very fresh.

Came here for an early dinner and we were pleasantly surprised that we made it in time for happy hour. We ordered the fried ravioli, meatballs, and crab dip pizza from their happy hour menu, along with some happy hour beers. The fried ravioli... you can't go wrong with deep fried cheese. I didn't realize that the meatballs were spposed to be spicy. It didn't taste spicy for me nor for my friend's 4-year old daughter, but it was tender and tasty. THe crabdip pizza wasn't that memorable, aside from being savory and creamy. We also ordered the crab cakes and carbonara from the dinner menu. The crab cake portion size was very large! In terms of ambiance, it has lots of wood and tables with booths. We had 3 children and 3 adults in our party, and they were able to seat us in a booth near the back, so we didn't have to worry about being louder. Our server was attentive and came back to check on us multiple times, as we ordered in waves based on what dishes the kids gobbled up and wanted more.

Had a great lunch at the B&O Brasserie located inside the Hotel Monaco. Their Signature Burger was the grand-slam dish of the day. It was perfectly cooked med-rare and a glass of Lager added to my lunch experience. A very nice place for a business lunch. The restaurant has a NYC-type of cosmopolitan feel. Nice happy-hour after work downtown. The restaurant is just minutes away from the Inner Harbor and the Charm'tastic Mile.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! (Unless you like canned soup and hair in your dessert) I traveled to Baltimore last week for business, and stayed at the Kimpton Monaco hotel. I took my kids down to lunch at the B&O, and ordered a Maryland crab soup and Powerhouse lunch. I'm 100% sure the soup was canned and they didn't even attempt to spice it up. I took back the leftovers and the brownie that came with my lunch had a hair baked into it, that I had to pull out of my throat. I called the restaurant the next morning and explained what happened. The gentleman on the phone was nice enough and apologetic, and said he would pass my name and number onto the manager. Then said that they usually give about a 20% discount for things like this. I never got a call back from the manager and they charged me the full amount. Two days later before leaving, I went down to the restaurant and explained to the server what happened. He again took my name and number and said he would pass along to the manager. Two days later still no call. I called one last time yesterday, and left my name and number one last time. Have not heard back. An apology from the manager is the very least they could do. A full refund would be nice, but I guess they determined it was better to avoid me and make me fight through my credit card company. Very disappointed.

The ambiance is nice a chill spot to grab lunch. Parking wasn't too bad. The waiter was nice. I got the crab cake sandwich I didn't like it too much. The crab cake was thin and it tasted too lemony. The bun was sweet and the fries was too thick. My friend got the Md crab soup. That was pretty good it had big chunks of meat in it and it came with garlic bread. He also got a burger. The burger wasn't to great either. I also got two drinks which was nice size. They was about to close for lunch so that's maybe why the food wasn't too great. The food was hot though. I would go back just order something else.

A great spot for lunch. Go for the power lunch.: soup/ sandwich or pizza or burger / soda or ice tea / PLUS dessert. Subded atmosphere witgout intrusive music.

Salty clam chowder, awful Caesar salad, decent pizza. Bizarre attitude upon arrival that felt like it had nothing to do with us but created an extremely icy vibe.

Service was horrendously slow (took over half an hour to get a martini and the bar was far from packed); food was mediocre and definitely overpriced for what it was. Water was gushing from the ceiling so we had to eat at the bar. Poor experience all around.

Went there last night before the Barry Manilow concert--was very busy and only one waitress and a hostess and they ROCKED it... Food was good and hot and they were wonderful, responsive and continued to check on us. Was a very good vibe! I wish the menu was a little bigger with maybe some oysters or mussels, but what we had was very good and was no problem getting us to the concert ON TIME!

We came here for Easter brunch with the family. Made reservations through open table, were a bit early and got seated promptly even though the restaurant was full. I ordered a vegetable omelette with the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer and everything was great! Our server was super nice and attentive and fast. Would definitely come here again!

My friends were staying in the hotel and wanting to meet up for an after wedding dinner before I left town. They called and was told the restaurant was open. We meet up, head downstairs walk into an EMPTY restaurant. We are asked what we are doing there ... uhhh eat?! We were then told in this EMPTY restaurant that they only had high tables available. When we explained that we had two elder women (one with a cane) that was going to be unable to sit that high we were told that they had "nothing else" .... again in this EMPTY restaurant. I am not sure what this was all about but I don't spend money where it is not wanted. Too bad for them because we drink, have expensive taste and were celebrating.

Made an online reservation 3 nights prior to arriving for. 5:00 res. They didn't have it and tossed us over to the bar. The host/hostess were not friendly at all. The young woman was more engaged with her phone and never smiled nor did the host who was mildly more helpful. I felt like we were bothering them. Btw the place opens at 4 so they pretty much just started their shift. Fortunately our server was quick and friendly and honestly helped change our mood. The food was average. Ordered the meatballs and chix wing happy hour. Dinner he ordered the burger and I had the pasta which was okay.

Made a reservation for 5:30pm, walked-in at 5:35pm, seated up-stairs almost immediately, and then we waited! The waiter told us he would be with us in a minute, never happed. Then after 45 minutes the guy seating people came up, we got his attention and he took our order. Then we waited another 20 minutes with no drinks, when I walked down to the hostess station and told him how ridiculous this experience was, he offered nothing. Back at our seats with no drinks insight, we had had enough and walked out. If you are running a restaurant, and you don't have the staff needed, why would you open an additional section. This was the worst restaurant experience I have had in years!

Too limited menu. Can't even serve hot coffee. Dining area seems like after hours at a bar. Staff doing well on work release.

We have been going to B&O for several years now. Always loved the care the put into the cocktails. Lately we have been going pre-concert and this last week we went before the JT concert. This was the first time it was a huge disappointment and made us want to not come back. So first, bar service was really slow but it was a concert night and it sounded like they were short-staffed on top of that. That said, it took a long time when we were sitting at the bar to get a beer or glass of wine pours. I ordered the "Don't Walk in the Woods" cocktail, which I usually love, and was totally disappointed. Then we moved to the table and here the slow service was more understandable. Our waitress is nice but just overwhelmed. However, the real issue here was the food. I order the carbonara. This dish SHOULD NOT have dairy in it and (as appropriate) the menu mentioned "egg". Instead I got spaghetti swimming in alfrado sauce. I sent it back and asked for a burger just to have something fast and it was one of the worst burgers I have ever had at a restaurant. The bun was old, stale and dry. Lettuce was limp. I ate it just because at that point I had to. The whole fish with puttanesca was great as always so my wife was happy.

My husband made dinner reservations for us at 7:00 before an 8:00 show at Royal Farms. The restaurant is a part of Hotel Monaco. When we arrived, we were led to the upper level by the hostess. After about 10-15 minutes, our server, Dominic, came to our table. He started by asking for our drinks. We asked for water and my husband ordered a vodka martini. At the same time, we went ahead and placed our order for dinner in order to save time. My husband had perused the menu online earlier in the week and was debating between the short ribs or pot roast. When he checked back earlier today the menu had changed and today's special was the prime rib. Unfortunately Dominic informed us that they ran out of the prime rib. My husband decided on the NY Strip and I ordered the B&O Burger. When the food arrived, my husband had to ask for a steak knife and more bearnaise sauce and I asked for ketchup for my fries. His martini did not come until after our food came. The food was not brought out by Dominic. He only came by once to check on us. I really liked my burger. Maybe it was the jam that gave it a touch of sweetness. The fries were a bit too salty but my husband loved it. He enjoyed his steak too. He said his martini was average. My husband liked the food but said the service was terrible. We actually had to flag down another server to grab our bill as Dominic was no where to be found. At 8:00 the restaurant had cleared out. Based on the food, we would come back. Based on the service, we're more inclined not to.

I love, love, love Jaymo! He's not just a bartender he's super knowledgeable about the food and the Hotel Monaco! The bathrooms are clean ! The Happy Hour is AWESOME! I'll be back! P.S. Try the smoked wings crispy (light sauce) and the fried cheese ravioli!! Thanks again, Jaymo! You're the reason I'll come back!

2 Stars because yesterday's Brunch was a fiasco!!!! 1 Star for Kenny the Bartender! 1 Star for J Mo the Manager! How can Anyone think that during football season on a Sunday, that it's Intelligent to ONLY HAVE 2 ppl working your entire Dining area is a complete IDIOT!!! Here's your clue: HIRE A HOSTESS & SOMEONE TO TAKE ORDERS & possibly a BACK UP BARTENDER!! Otherwise, you're not as "clever" as you think & should quite be your job!

Came for brunch while staying in the adjoining hotel. Pretty solid food. The interior is swanky - you walk in and know it's going to be a good experience. There's an open kitchen with a brick oven blazing away. Dark wooden tables line up along the floor. The food was pretty good. The cheesy grits needed some salt, but were otherwise fine. The Hangover Burger was exactly what I wanted - suffice it to say the night before had been a late one, and this juicy burger with bacon jam and runny egg was just perfect. The Chicken and Waffle sandwich was just okay - the chicken was crispy, but that's the only great part. Everything else about it seemed very average; I've definitely had better chicken and waffle combinations. The fries accompanying both dishes were nice and crispy but also lacked salt. The service was mixed. Our waiter was friendly and quick to take orders and bring things out, but it took a really long time for the food to get to us and the place was not that busy. Prices are fair, food is decent, and the drink selection at the bar looks extensive. If you're in the area or staying at one of the nearby hotels, this place is worth a visit.

So glad a Baltimore native friend suggested I go to B and O when in town for a conference. Arrived around 6:15 pm, just in time for their happy hour drink special and some happy hour nosh plates. The bartender makes great cocktails! Next time will try the Honeybee. The drink special had some whiskey and a syrup I had never heard of, with seltzer. Such a refreshing different taste. But as I watched them making the Honeybee, Manhattans, and Old Fashions, I could see the real cocktail artistry. Food. Loved the catfish sliders and chickpea fritters. Served beautifully. Guy next to us had spaghetti and meatballs. Boy, that looked good too. Conversation with other patrons...very friendly. Some regulars. Some newbies. All friendly. Would definitely return to B and O.

I visited B&O last Thursday for a work lunch and I think the best thing about our experience was the incredibly friendly waiter! I didn't catch his name, but he was professional and courteous throughout the meal making recommendations and providing attentive service. The food itself was solid. I got a salad with blackened chicken, one of my colleagues got a Cesar salad with blackened shrimp and the other two got the caprese panini and side salads. Everyone mentioned enjoying their meals and we followed them up with dessert! One affogato and one tiramisu, both of which were tasty. This was a nice setting for a work lunch in my opinion!

First of all the restaurant itself was a 5. The service from the top all the wAy to the bottom was outstanding. Everyone was friendly, helpful and personable. We sat at the bar with a great bartender by the name of Yoon. She made some extremely smooth drinks!!!! The chairs at the bar are heavy as all get out so once you're down you're down. The plus is that they do spin all the way around for an easy departure. The Easter Brunch spread was pretty decent. They covered all my needs, fried chicken, wiggly bacon, crab legs, shrimp and deviled eggs......all good for me. The house made pickles were out of this world. I was tempted several times to pack up a few in a napkin for snacks at a later time! They offered a lot of house made pastries which looked beautiful and tantalizing to the eye but I was just too damn full to try anything. So why the 3 stars then? Well, the 3 stars are because of the valet parking that is suppose to be offered. I pull up to the hotel before 11am. I'm told that they have no parking but I can try and pull up to the end of the street to park. Sooooo.....you can't park me? I need to find my own parking? "Yea, I don't have any spaces for you" You are valet,right? But I should just try to find parking on my own.....ghee thanks!!! So I drive around the corner and pay $20 to park in the underground garage on Holiday (valet would have been $7). The valet made no attempts to help me. He did however shake the hand of the car in front of me, smile and gladly park them before he told me he had nothing and to basically park myself.

Had lunch here with my mom and husband. It's attached to hotel Monaco but has a very different feel from it. It's pretty large and open. Our waiter had a lot of energy and was very attentive to our orders. My mom got the ceased salad with salmon, i got the lobster roll with side salad and my hubby got the lobster roll and a burger (he was hungry) The lobster roll was delicious - it was warm, the bread was soft and they gave me a lot of lobster. The side salad was fresh with a nice light vinaigrette. I left feeling very satisfied and will visit again to try the brick oven pizza.

History, Architecture, and Fresh tastes, all in one place?? Yes, please! I stopped into B&O after an evening of Uber Driving for a drink and some dessert. Originally I was going to order the Narnia, but then the gentleman next to me ordered a Manhattan, which sounded good, and so I too ordered that. Patrick, the bartender, asked if I had ever had a black Manhattan. I had not and figured why not try something new? Patrick did not disappoint! The black Manhattan was flavorful and smooth. When it came to dessert, I was eyeing up the cheesecake, but when I asked Patrick his thoughts (as he'd gained my trust already), he stated that his favorite on the menu at that time was the Cupcake. Both myself and another gentleman at the bar ordered said dessert and both of us were beyond happy. After the Manhattan I had a refreshing French 75 with Rosé, as well as the non-alcoholic 'Grove Street Party'. Both very refreshing. If you stop in and Patrick is your bartender, I promise you will not be disappointed and don't be shy to ask for a recommendation- his are spot on!

Another wonderful dining experience! Fabulous, full breakfast of bagel with gravlax, capers, cream cheese, onion, tomato, lettuce, and lime. Beautiful presentation, generous portion. Delicious, robust coffee with REAL Half and Half. Jaymo is attentive, personable server, most accommodating, and kept the coffee flowing! A "to go" box was offered; since he knew I was headed back to hospital for another long day as patient advocate. The crab omelette is delicious here, as well - another generous portion, artfully presented. An airline flight crew of 8 were feasting on omelettes, waffles, and pancakes. Everything looked delicious. Jaymo and his runner (forgot his name) handled, seamlessly, everyone!

I went to this restaurant mostly out of convenience because it was located in the Hotel I was staying at while I was traveling in Baltimore for work - Hotel Monaco. And, the reviews looked pretty good so I tested it out one night after a long day of work. I would say the service was sub-par. When I walked in the server was on the phone, and she looked up and said "oh, go ahead and sit and I'll be with you." So, I sat by myself at a table, and she eventually came over with menus. She let me know the special of the day was meatloaf, and also never asked what I wanted to drink. A few minutes later she came and asked if I was ready to order, and I asked her what she liked best and she said the scallops so I got those. I also ordered the crispy cauliflower. It came out pretty quickly, and it was tasty. The scallops came with a few sides of veggies, and a sauce, and again, it was tasty. While it was tasty it was not anything different than any other scallops I have had before or could make at home. For about $30 I might expect something a little different - something with a twist. The crispy cauliflower was really good although a bit salty, but luckily I like salt so it went down fine. I decided to pass on dessert. So, if you are staying at the hotel, you should try it. If not, I am sure there are other places that will do just fine in the area.

Very disappointed, I ordered a crab cake which tasted like a straight up lemon.... I also ordered the steak, now the steak was okay but for the price it could have been better. I was extremely irritated when I asked for grilled onions and received peppers peas and other veggies. I've had steak from several different spots and I've never received anything like that. It was horrible i literally had to scrap them off of my steak! I was confused by the sides offered. They only had French fries and potatoes wedges as the server described them..... the meal would have been better with a baked potato. But they don't offer that. Overall for the price of the order it wasn't worth it. Honestly would have had a better meal going to Texas road house! And you would pay less.... The crab cake would have been good I'm assuming they just used too much lemon but it was definitely so strong that it over powered the crab taste......

Should out to Kerry and Omyra for their awesome service and overall kindness! We are in town from San Diego and they were helpful and sweet and fun to talk to! Service was a 10! :) We had the pizza and a salad both were delicious. Thank you! :) Nancy

I was staying at the hotel that the B&O is connected to and since we heard good things about this place, we decided to come here for dinner. They replaced the NY Strip Steak with the Flat Iron Steak for $25, so that was what I got. I ordered it medium rare, but the meat wasn't as pink on the inside as what I'm used to. However, the texture of it was perfectly fine to me. It wasn't tough at all to chew or cut through. The herbed potatoes were very good as well, and I liked that they also put a lemon on the side, because I love squeezing lemons on everything. I wasn't a big fan of the mache "salad". There was no other dressing or anything added to the mache, so I personally wouldn't consider it a salad. It was more like just a pile of mache with maybe a lemon on the side if that was what the lemon was actually for. I also tried the Wedge Salad ($14), White Peach Gazpacho ($9), Cast Iron Crab Cake ($30), Grilled Pork Steak ($26), and Buttermilk Fried Chicken ($19). Surprisingly, I liked the wedge salad. I usually actually hate bleu cheese, but this one tastes very similar to gorgonzola. Gorgonzola is a type of bleu cheese, but I'm not sure if it actually is gorgonzola. But, if it is I think that it would've helped to specify that on the menu. It is pretty strong on the gorgonzola flavor though so I'd suggest avoiding it if you don't want an overpowering flavor of gorgonzola with a hint of bacon. The white peach gazpacho is a cold soup. I've never had cold soup before, so that was interesting to taste. It definitely is different from any other soup I've had, but it still tastes strangely familiar. I would say that it tastes like you're drinking a salad, but not in a bad way. It was pretty refreshing for the hot summer weather. The crab cake was a little bit underwhelming. You only get one crab cake about the size of a hockey puck, and it's sitting on something that looks similar to it, but wasn't a second piece of crab cake. While the crab cake was good, I wouldn't say that it's worth the $30, because it wasn't filling at all. The grilled pork steak was nice and soft, but it was also a bit dry. It had a curry flavor to it, but it's not my personal preference. The fried chicken was more moist and soft, but not my preference either. It would be a good choice if you are a fan of fried chicken though. The service here is awesome. Our waitress was patient as we were looking at the menu trying to decide what to eat, and she answered all my questions without seeming annoyed or anything. She constantly kept our waters filled and made sure that we were all enjoying our food. The food did take a while to come out, but throughout the wait she kept reassuring us that it was coming. Overall, I think this is a solid place to go to if you're in the area and want to spend a little bit of money. I've heard good things about their brunch as well so I would be willing to check it out again for that.
