  Another bad experience in white marsh.  Own a bar in federal hill for ten years now and have never heard such a classless bleach blonde bartender tell a customer she would punch him in the face.  My boyfriend and I went to the bar for our first drink and immediately walked out.  Hiring practices are key, hopefully they learn their lesson.  Come to Fed Hill!

  Service was great in this new location, layout is nice. They text on Mother's Day when our table was ready. It was only about a 10 minute walk around the mall.
  
  They have small flat screen tvs against the walls of boths for those that can't miss game day. In fact, they have large flat screens around the top of the whole joint and on the porch.
  
  Order the veggie wrap without cheese and cilantro lime ranch dressing and this is vegan. Also had the sweet potato fries with spicy Thai chili sauce as well as the white IPA, got a nice buzz off one 16oz. glass + sample. Yes, they even promote the samples they offer.
  
  We'll be back.

  I like going for the beer and hanging out with friends more than anything else.  The food is just ok but the atmosphere is fun.  I'm looking forward to checking out the patio when it gets warmer!

  Went to watch munich v barcelona soccer.. Told me game wasn't on - watching two and a half men instead.  Went to another bar where they gladly put game on for me...bad first experience with this place.  Will i go back?

  So far so good.  I've been there 3 times now and got the mug club b/c I live nearby and am never in town for Red Brick's mug club drawing.  Our first experience, when we bought the mugs, our waitress was fantastic and very friendly.  However, her shift ended halfway through our stay and the next waiter was very poor.  My understanding is that the wait staff at Greene Turtles all split the tips.  Our first waitress would have received a great tip b/c she was so great but our 2nd waiter was terrible so we didn't bother tipping any more than usual b/c it would have had to been split.  the food is much better than I remember the food being at the Hunt Valley location so hopefully that stays that way.  the restaurant is nice; it's on the small side but it's nice.  the one in Hunt Valley is just too big to feel comfortable in.  the chicken tenders were really good and the fried pickles were okay....they would have been better with a spicier sauce much like Buffalo wild wing's southwest ranch.  One thing I did notice though were all of the wait staff standing around.  At one point there were 7 waiters standing in the middle of the restaurant and when i went to the bathroom there were more standing and talking over at the registers.  Our second visit we only stopped in briefly for a couple of beers and sat at a table in the bar area.  Our waitress was a little off and we had to ask for her a number of times to get her to come over to refill our beers.  She even brought me the wrong mug.  I did notice a large party in the restaurant area that had a table right in the sun; I felt bad for them b/c there aren't any blinds so they had to just wait out the sunset with the sun in their eyes. The third visit we had great food.  The service was okay, we had to wait a while for menus and drinks throughout the night.  although, again, way too many wait staff just standing around....I don' t understand why so many waiters are needed for such a small restaurant when they just stand around and the service has never been outstanding so far.  I didn't like the little girl going around and asking people to buy candy from her.  It's one thing if she just walks around and asks and then leaves but she would just stand at our table and if we acknowledged her she would just keep coming back and doing the same thing.  I love that she's trying to get money for whatever cause (which she never said what it went towards) but she can't keep coming around over and over.  I'll certainly keep going back:  it's nearby, the food is pretty good and the beer is a bit pricey but the mug club helps with that.  BUT I hope they get their wait issues fixed...nothing worse than waiting for a server and staring at a large group of servers doing nothing in the middle of the restaurant.
