We went here for the first time on Saturday evening, arriving around 5:30pm. Our experience was kind of comically bad. They are going through some kind of renovation along with new staff, apparently, because we walked in and there were only 4 tables (full of people) and then a whole section of the ground floor was just tables with a bunch of stuff on them. We went upstairs and the tables and appearance were normal, but they were clearly not ready to serve anyone up there despite it getting into the dinner hours. The waitress up there was very nice, but she was busy doing something else (maybe closing out from the day shift?) and wasn't really able to serve us for a good 30 minutes. Someone came by and dropped off plastic plates and utensils because their dishwasher was broken. After about 30 minutes the waitress told us a table opened up downstairs if we wanted to sit there, so we moved assuming that meant she still wasn't really able to help us upstairs.
Downstairs it took at least 10 minutes for the new server to arrive, and then she took 2/4 of our orders and tried to leave. We stopped her and told her the other two of us wanted something too (?) and she seemed almost annoyed. Our food finally came out, and my burger was not at all what I ordered. I ordered the smoked angus cheddar bacon burger, and got the Baltimore burger. Of course nobody was around to tell, and it had been an hour since we arrived already so I didn't really want to send it back. I ate it, it was fine but kind of bland, especially in comparison to what I had chosen to order. It had crab dip on it but I didn't taste any crab, it was more like just a cream cheese spread. My husband thought his burger was just ok, too (he had some whiskey BBQ burger with 2 patties, which he thought was way too much meat). Our other dining companions seemed to like theirs, they did the build your own option.
They brought us a second round of drinks, which was supposed to be identical to the first, but my beer was some other kind of beer. So of the three things I ordered, two were incorrect. It's a good thing I'm not picky! Again it would have been really hard to send back due to service issues, so I just drank it. I should also add, less than half of their tap beers were available, and there was no beer list to pick from the cans so I had just picked one of the 6 or so beers the waitress listed from her memory to begin with. So who knows what other beers they had available
There was very loud music in there, which maybe would have been fine if we were 20 years younger or it was later at night but I would not recommend for someone in their 40s at 6pm. Really, I wouldn't recommend this place at all unless they make some major improvements. The one thing I will say positively about them is that they gave us our first round of drinks for free due to the delay in getting served, so at least they are aware of their issues?
I had been to the location in Fells Point one other time and had a positive experience with good food, so I would recommend that - though this experience doesn't make me in a rush to go to any location again, honestly.
