Came here with friends one Sunday afternoon. Arrived shortly after opening so no problem getting seated. Staff were friendly and service was decent enough. Very good beer selection & cocktail list. Food was varied and well prepared. I had the burger, ordered medium rare, and actually got a burger cooked like I like it. The fries were good, crisp outside & soft inside. My wife enjoyed the shrimp salad sandwich which was made with pretty large shrimp, no baby popcorn shrimp here. Our friends enjoyed the club sandwich and quesadilla. Two of the group enjoyed the crab soup. Overall a good experience and would gladly come back.

10/10, would keep going again & again!! Me & my Honey stopped in looking for late night eats, randomly. It happened to be Midnight Madness in Ellicott City so the place was full but not overwhelming. We were seated upstairs. Max, (The sweetest girl in the world) was our waitress..she schooled us on the restaurant and the area. We ordered some drinks (Apple Cider Crush, Sour Frenchman, buffalo boulevardier, king of Ellicott City, captains punch & Black raspberry bramble). We met the owner, Mr. Mark..Solid Guy, I got the feeling of “No nonsense but fun” kind of guy. Enjoyed chatting it up with him. Listen..the food… Mmm MMMM!! Details in the pic’s caption but that damn Mac & Cheese was something to yell about!!!! Chefs Kiss!!! Me & my love had a time for an unplanned night! We will be back.

If anything, as a long time Phoenix customer, (virtually since they opened on lower Main) I can honestly say the move has been entirely positive. We had burgers on our last visit and they were on the verge of burger perfection. The fries were great and nice and crispy. Drinks and beers were as expected for a neighborhood pub. And the service was truly fast, efficient and spot on. A great place for virtually any reason to go out.

I've been here a couple times and the food and the service is always incredible. But this past time I specifically got the fish and chips. Now I'm not normally a big fish person. But this was hands down the best fish I've ever had in my life. It is to die for. But regardless of what you get you can't really go wrong here
