    All food is delicious. Burgers are huge, chilli bowls are great as is the Shecrab soup. Try there Markers IPA: Good. And now they have happy hour from 3 to 6p.

    Love the place overall but gave 3 stars for ambience as the “energetic” noise level can be overbearing. It really gets so loud that it is difficult to have a conversation with your company. The only downside truly and l don’t see a way to change this as it is a fairly small space and just gets packed because all else is excellent here! Guess my rec is don’t go if you ate not in the mood for noise or have a headache? Otherwise keep up the great patron service and delicious food!

    The food was ok - the nachos were bland and my friends meal was undercooked. Our server seemed to want to be somewhere else.

    It was our first time dining at this establishment. Over-all it was okay. The restaurant was Father’s Day packed so we got seated at the al fresco area although we reserved days in advance. The area was fine but the seats weren’t too comfortable. And the table we were seated next to was vaping. The food compared to other restaurants Thompson Restaurants we’ve been too was just okay. We ordered a couple of items from the menu, 1) Monkey Bread - We loved it, but a tad toasty and sweet. 2) Fried Chicken and Waffles - It has a good amount of chicken on the plate. Something to consider if you’re too hungry. However, it lacked seasoning on both chicken and breading. 3) Maryland Crabcake Benedict - Menu says jumbo lump crabcake, but we don’t think it was. Also, the crabcake tasted a bit salty. 4) Makers Union Breakfast - Menu says thick cut ham, but it was kinda thin. Ham taste is not salty though. 5) Brussel Sprouts - This is good. Although it is the first time we’ve seen it served with peanuts.

    The kale salad was definitely not a restaurant quality salad. The “peoples pour” is a gimmicky upcharge.

    We went for brunch on Sunday. The food was delicious. I had the French toast — fabulous, and I took half home as the portion was large. Hubby had a combo egg plate, plus we ordered some deviled eggs. Even the coffee was good. Service was attentive but not hovering. Only negative was the noise level.

    Took my family here for my mom’s birthday brunch and I was disappointed. I brought them here because I had an excellent experience the first time I came here for brunch. The food wasn’t as tasty and the waitress barely pre-buss our table. My family never enjoyed there brunch.

    Nice place. Not somewhere I’d necessarily rush back to you.
