Family dinner on Sunday and the food was great can't stop raving over cream of crab...the plates well portion for pork chops broiled or fried both are great. I shared mine with the wife and my brother shared his with me.... lol

I was there for a private party (20+ people) on a Sunday. They were so polite and accommodating to everyone. The food was fairly simple but everything came out as ordered and within a reasonable time for a party that large. My sandwich was good but next time I'm getting a salad. All the salads looked downright delish.

The restaurant was practically empty but the door was opened before I reached out, greeted with a smile from both the hostess and for person. Shown quickly to a table and my drink order was taken. I one what I came for and as the drink quickly appeared the server did not expect me to be ready. I ordered the small sour beef. There was so much gravy on the plate it was like a bowl of soup. This filled my stomach because was the meat was so small not like the pictures here which are probably not the small. The meat was so tender you could cut it with a fork which is the way it should be. The meat though was tasteless. I will come again because the problem with my meal was that I ordered the wrong size. I’ll know for the next time.

Huge portions and friendly staff make visiting this location worth it. The crab dip pretzel is a meal in and of itself, but split it with another to save room for their signature dish: Sour Beef and Dumplings.The beef is fork-tender and soaked in a savory, sweet and tangy sauce and served with potato dumplings.The restaurant is well maintained, the waitstaff is super-friendly, and the management checks in on you to ensure your dining experience is top-tier.Whenever I'm back in town, this is one of the first restaurants I visit and I have never regretted it.

I really enjoy eating here. I didn't make such a great food choice this time--the pulled pork was a little too smoky for me--but that's just my preference. I'll definitely be back!

Crab pretzel is amazing. Fajitas are great! And to top it all off the ice cream in the little fried bowl thing is pretty good too!!

Had a great lunch with my daughter. Great atmosphere and food was hot and delicious. Thank you.

Food was good, staff was nice, and the restaurant was clean. Only problem the parking lot sucks. I had to wait 10 mins for a spot to open.

Had a reservation for 2 at 4 pm on Easter. The gentleman that sat us said that he would take care of us. MIL ordered a tea and I asked for a drink menu. MIL wanted to get a Jamaican Paradise and I got an appletini. We then ordered a Maryland Crab Pretzel for the app, then we ordered the Easter Special Seafood au gratin. I ordered mine with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. MIL ordered hers with broccoli and rice. Waiter did not bring her rice out at first. The food was really bad. Seafood au gratin was baked to long. Scallops in the dish were rubbery. The drinks were WAY to strong. Very unhappy. MIL was not charged for either of her drinks but I do not feel that was enough. Husband doesn't even want to give the Bel Air location another chance. Give me a reason to change his mind and give this location another chance.

This restaurant is located on Bel Air near the mall. Plenty of parking, we went on a Friday evening and did not have a wait which was a plus. Their crab pretzel is a must try. Cozy, friendly staff
