This is in a really interesting old building by the river in Old Ellicott City/Oella. The hamburger was great, as was the cucumber salad. The staff was attentive, friendly, and helpful. I parked in the public parking lot just past the restaurant. There was a good crowd, and live music (I went on a Saturday).

Decent normal American bar type food. The menu isn’t super large which is good, mostly sandwiches/burgers/wraps. They don’t serve main meals or pasta until 4pm. The crab soup did have a lot of tasty crab, however the soup itself was like gloop. It was so thick and had no taste which was so weird. Hardly even salt and pepper. Way too thick even for a chowder. Burger was pretty good taste, a little charred, ordered medium but got more like medium well. Steak and cheese also was okay, better than burger as it had nicely cooked onions and mushrooms in it. The fries were good when hot - but they seemed like really cheap crinkly fries. After they got even a little cold they tasted so awkward and not good. Server was nice. The main reason I’m giving low stars is cleanliness. The whole place felt

Very cozy pub interior. Traditional American breakfast. Menu small but completely adequate. Service was phenomenal. Food came out quickly after order. The waitress was very attentive and checked in regularly. The other wait staff was also attentive. Prices were reasonable. I got the three egg platter with a scrapple, rye toast and home fries. Scrapple was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside soft interior with a slight thickness. The home fries were fresh and good. The type was soft not crispy. Side order of bacon was a hefty portion and was somewhat limp but crispy. Will definitely return.

American Menu I got the wings which were very good. They had the right amount of heat. My companions ordered French onion soup and the Italian cold cut sub. Both real good. Great friendly quick service. Full bar available.
