Riverside Bar and Grill

I'm not an East Coaster.  I probably wouldn't know good crab cakes if they kicked me in the junk, but I do know good food and I know beer.  Growing up Midwest and moving to CA, crab cakes to me are a novelty.  To folks in Maryland, they are a religion.  I now understand why.  The crab cakes here were better than any I've ever had, which may not be saying much, but wow, fantastic.  The beer selection was varied and decent.  Really enjoyed the Natty Boh.  What I enjoyed even more though was the service.  When the waitress and the owner stop to chat, ask me about my meal, and can talk not only beer, but beer history, I respect it.  With out the service I got, this would be a decent 3 star place.  The service was worth 4 stars alone.

I've been here before and it's not been a bad place to have a beer..  Don't know what;s changed however I sat at the bar over 5 mins before someone notices I was there, ordered up a Draft Fat Tire, was informed that the keg had to be chaged, I said no problem I'll wait, then was informed it would be at least 15 mins before the keg could be changed, didn't want anything to do with the other two beers so I punched.....

In a sea of chains and fast food joints off of 95 there is the Riverside. My wife and I have been here several times (lunch) because the food is good. We usually get sandwiches and while the service is not the fastest in the world the food comes out hot and in a reasonable time. The cheese-steak' are good and my wife is partial to the Chicken Caesar wrap. I tried the pit beef once but it was a little to dry for my palate. Tons of parking, just them and a dominos in the strip mall and easy on off from 95. In fact I would go so far as to recommend this exit rather than the Aberdeen exit just up the road.
