Had a lovely time on Cinco de Mayo. The outside area was welcoming to everyone, including cute dogs. We were seated soon and had a lovely dinner. After it got later and cool outside, we went inside for drinks and atmosphere. Friendly staff.
These were some of the best apps I've ordered from a restaurant/pub in a very long time. The pretzels were perfectly baked and salted and delivered still warm. The mustard was flavorful and not flat vinegar tasting, cheese was delicious as well. The crab dip was the star. Creamy, crabby, cheesy and seasoned well, also still warm. Will stop by or order again soon.
Food was excellent i had the blackened chicken sandwich and my wife had a salad and Maryland crab soup. I had their own IPA and my wife had the Captains punch. My only complaint may be there was a musty mop smell but might have been from the Beer tanks. My wife couldn't smell it though. 😊
Lots of beer on tap and bottles. They are known for their delicious crab dip. Wife had impossible burger w old bay fries (pic) I had their chicken wings & chicken tenders (pic) & caprese salad (pic) is one of the best around. Peanut butter bomb (pic) for dessert is great. April 2023 they had soft shell crab sliders which we're excellent. Two of them for $12, the crabs are not small and hung out the side of the small buns. French onion soup was spot on. Pretzel appetizer was really good soft. Blueberry bread pudding was pretty good but not the best we've had.
Decided to visit the quaint town of Ellicott City on our weekend getaway to Baltimore. We had beer and a quick lunch at Phoenix Upper Main and really enjoyed it. The beer was good and the Reuben sandwich was one of the best I’ve had!! We chose to sit at the bar but their outdoor area looked so inviting especially on a sunny summer day. Highly recommend a visit to Ellicott City and while you’re there, a beer (or two) and food at this restaurant!!
I had a delicious salad with grilled peaches and Burrata. Everyone else at my table had sandwiches or fish and chips, and they were very happy with their meals as well. The appetizers were very good as well. The service was great, very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant
My wife and I were visiting the Baltimore area to visit family. We found Phoenix Upper Main and decided to try it! The food was very delicious and the service was prompt and friendly. My wife got the wedge salad (it was split with our sister-in-law) and I enjoyed the fish and chips. The fish was greasy, but good still. The Bavarian pretzels were great! The beer cheese was so good! It was lunch time when we visited, so the crowd was pretty light. I’m not sure how it gets at night time. Restrooms were also clean and convenient. I would definitely return!
The ambiance was amazing! The menu had a lot of selections. I went with The Bear cheesesteak which was pot roast on bread. Kinda sloppy. The carrots were undercooked and there were huge pieces of meat and garlic mixed in. Overall, it wasn't the greatest and was a bit salty for my tastes. I had one of my friends fish tacos and it was pretty good. We ate outside and it was a beautiful day for it!
