Ambiance: Typical mid-Atlantic bbq joint, but with an extremely high per capita television ratio, including at least two giant wall projections. Clean, spacious. Nice to see Corsendonk and Heavy Seas beer signs instead of Bud Light. Service: Waiter was oustanding and friendly. Food and beverages came quickly. Selection: 20 rotating beer taps with basics (Yuengling Lager, Guinness) to some surprises (Ommegang Cup o Kyndess, Rogue Shakespeare Stout). They also offer flights of 4 oz beers. Never been to a bbq place that offered that! Served in proper glassware too. So, for a bbq joint, I’d say the beer selection is top-notch. Food: Some of the best bbq I’ve ever had outside of the south and midwest. The deep fried pork balls are a great appetizer, and the hush puppies are the size of softballs. They have a ’bread pudding of the day’ for crying out loud, what’s not to love? Everything was delicious. Value: Reasonable. Took a buddy for lunch after a beer field trip to State Line Liquors and the Perfect Pour. Two beers each, shared appetizer, sandwiches (+2 sides) for each, and a dessert for each ran $80, including tip. Overall: If you like good barbecue and good beer, this is a great place. It’s only about two minutes from the Perfect Pour in Elkridge, Maryland, which is probably the best bottle shop in the state.

Located in a strip center midway between Baltimore and Washington, right off US Rt 29. Primarily a BBQ restaurant with a small bar that has ten good choices rotate on tap, including Southern Tier, Flying Dog, Lagunitas among others on the last visit (and a Miller Lite if so inclined). Plenty of bottles on display as well. Food and service were excellent (you’ll love the hush puppies), and the food was very reasonably priced. The everyday prices of the drafts were a little out of line. Bartender mentioned that they are going to expand and add about 20 more taps, which should make return visits a must. They need to get rid of the mason jars and use proper glassware, though.
