Stopped in for brunch and ordered the chicken and waffles. For the price, it was extremely disappointing. It was a frozen Eggo waffle with a single chicken tender on top. Nothing about it felt fresh or worth what they charge.
The bathrooms were disgusting, and the entire restaurant felt dirty. Overall, it seems like management has stopped caring.
Would not recommend.

Excellent scallops perfectly cooked and full of flavor! Friendly staff and lovely environment with a lot of local beer selection and cuisine. Had the scallops risotto which was creamy and rich with bacon and the salad with goat cheese and beets. Definitely coming back for more.

This was on my list for a while to try. I don’t get over this way much, so we decided to try it out while here. We did not have a reservation but still got seated. The place looks nice and has a full bar and a good menu. The food has some different combinations of things together. Some pickey eaters might not like it. All the food was cooked correctly and tasted wonderful. There is a kids menu as well. The food was cooked fresh and hot. I would give them 8 out of 10 stars.

This is definitely our favourite restaurant in all of Leonardtown! The food is always great and the staff extremely friendly. Menu has a wide range of options including legit gluten free options which are appreciated as someone who is severely allergic!
We recently went to celebrate ‘Galentine’s Day’ as a big mothers and daughters group- it was decorated beautifully and everyone had an exceptional time!

Welcoming and accessible, our family enjoyed brunch here. Macie took excellent care of us, answering questions and checking on us and our food. The fries in the Poutine were cooked just right and the sausage gravy was flavorful and not too heavy. The Shrimp & Grits featured hearty shrimp, pork belly, kale and teeny blistered tomatoes. The slight heat on the sauce brought it all together. The Steak & Eggs featured a large NY strip and 2 eggs cooked precisely to order. Well-seasoned homefries rounded out this tasty dish. The Chicken & Waffles was loaded with flavorful chicken and accompanied by crispy fried green tomatoes that you can tell are breaded by hand. Dessert of multi-layered carrot cake and creamy strawberry cheesecake left us jokingly asking for the nap room – we were invited to enjoy the rocking chairs on the front porch for as long as we would like! Thank you for a great family meal with excellent food and excellent service, in a unique and historic setting.

My wife and I went here for Sunday brunch. My wife had pancakes with a side of sausage gravy and I had the crab eggs Benedict. Both were excellent. The pancakes were big and fluffy and the sausage gravy had a good amount of sausage chunks. It was lightly spicey. My eggs benny had plenty of delicious crab, well poached eggs and two large slices of ham. The flavors combined perfectly. Our server was friendly, accurate and efficient.

Very nice and cozy atmosphere without all of the loud chatter and noise of many restaurants. You feel as though you are having a meal in your grandmother’s home… “Get your elbows off the table honey!” We were immediately greeted and seated in the lower eating room. Our server, Myresha was absolutely amazing! She had a genuine smile, a very cheerful attitude and happy to help demeanor. She took the time to assist us in determining what would be the best entrees for us as well as being very attentive. My wife had the Shrimp and Grits and I had the Pork Shank and Grits. Both dishes were promptly served and were prepared to perfection… So Yummy! The portions were the perfect size and the food was the perfect temperature. They also have an array of In-House prepared desserts as well as special drinks. We will definitely be visiting again when we are back in the Southern Peninsula of Maryland.

In the area for work. It was a gorgeous evening & we took advantage by visiting The Front Porch. Wait staff were attentive & friendly. Menu was a mix of Southern classics with a modern twist. We had the pulled pork Tots (large portion), fried green tomatoes & a bacon cheddar burger with onion rings. We watched the risotto & other entries come out and everything looked delish. The porch was delightful and the interior was beautifully historic. Moderately priced. Would highly recommend.
