    We’ve dined at Blackwall Barn and Lodge in Gambrills numerous times, and each time has been an exceptional experience. Tonight was no exception. I began my meal with the Barn Brussels Sprouts, which were incredibly tasty and the best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had. For my entree, I chose the Salmon and Kale Salad, and it was absolutely exquisite! The presentation was stunning, with a colorful and fresh-looking plate that made my mouth water. But the flavors were what truly set this salad apart. My husband ordered his favorite entree, the Braised Beef Short Ribs, and as always, they were a delight. We ended our meal with a warm Berry Cobbler, topped with vanilla ice cream. It was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious! We love this restaurant for its inviting ambiance, the outstanding menu choices, and the exceptional customer service. Leslie, our server, was an absolute gem. She and everyone at the restaurant made us feel welcome and made sure we had a great time. Thank you for yet another wonderful evening at The Blackwall Barn and Lodge. We’ll definitely be back!

    The specials for this week, though a little pricey, were very delicious. The service was exceptional. We were not disappointed. Menu options are numerous and cost less. Definitely a place to consider for group gatherings -- they offer several seating locations to accommodate all sizes of groups.

    This was my 4th visit to the restaurant (3rd time for Sunday brunch), and it did not disappoint! Yes, it's a bit pricey, but for a special occasion, it's well worth the splurge. The food (selection and quality ), great service and ambiance made for a very nice Father's Day!

    Went for my husband's birthday and it was fantastic. I enjoyed the decor and lighting. The chairs and booth seat were comfortable. French Onion soup and Brussel sprouts appetizers were great. They also serve these lovely little biscuit cornbreads- savory. I had a watermelon cocktail which I was surprised they had- for anyone that struggles with acid reflux- watermelon is a great option, low acidity. My husband got the Prime rib, my 13 year old got an NY strip- and he's picky but he devoured it and his side. I had the scallop and shrimp risotto- it was sooo good. Service was excellent- she knew all the specials and was able to answer questions. She anticipated our needs and we didn't wait long for anything.

We’re honored you chose to celebrate your husband’s birthday with us and thrilled to hear that every part of your experience—from the food and drinks to the service and atmosphere—was so enjoyable.

    While the service was great and the food was good, the noise was extremely loud with a combination of crowd noise and piped in music. The tables are close together to the point where people kept bumping out chairs when going to and from the bathroom.
    The Blackwall Barn and Lodge gambrillsResponded on June 14, 2025
    George, thank you for your feedback. While we are glad to hear you enjoyed the food and service, we are sorry that the noise level and tight spacing impacted your experience.

If you would kindly email us at gambrills@blackwallbarnandlodge.c0m with a copy of your review, date dined & location, we will work hard to remedy this and prove we can earn 5 stars. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and hope to welcome you back for a more relaxing visit. With Gratitude & Apologies, The Team at The Blackwall Barn & Lodge Gambrills

    The food for the bourbon event was excellent and the selection of bourbon made the value well worth the event cost. Can't wait for the next one.

    The meal was delicious! My wife and I enjoyed an impromptu lunch today. The server, Brian, was very knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations guided us to a meal that was a great match for our pallets. Brian was very attentive. We even had an opportunity to chat with one of the managers, Dan. He was personable and engaging, adding to our pleasurable experience. We're planning a Fall 2025 wedding anniversary celebration at this restaurant and we know our choice was the right one!
