Towne Tavern & Spirits — Restaurant in Maryland

What a total disappointment! My wife and I recently stopped in to have dinner. Although we were the only ones in the dining room when Chris seated us, we waited an inordinate amount of time before someone came to our table. We initially ordered two draft beers from our server, Kim. When she brought our drinks I ordered a bowl of ham and bean soup which was featured on the menu. Kim informed us that the ham and bean soup was still in the process of being made and was not available. My wife ordered the crab roll and I ordered the meatloaf on rye. Kim then told us The Towne Tavern was strictly "pub food" and, because of that, rye was not available. Really? When the lukewarm cream of crab soup was served there was no crab garnish on top and virtually no crab meat in the broth! This was brought to Kim's attention and she returned with a saucer of crab meat, stating that she was extremely embarrassed. At this point we just asked for the checks for our drinks and informed her that we would not be staying for dinner. To add insult to injury, at no time did anyone attempt to bring Chris (the owner) to our table. Chris, it has been mentioned that you have a very small kitchen. This should have been considered when you were renovating and not offered as an excuse for subpar offerings. I certainly wish you success but, based on the experience we had, Towne Tavern has a long way to...

The old man behind the counter is extremely unprofessional, insecure, and rude. He accused me of having a fake ID when I am 24 years old. I offered him multiple forms of identification, both federal and state. He told me "no store in town will serve you with that ID" so I proceeded to the next liquor store down the street, and got my 12 pack of beer without any problems whatsoever. Perhaps The scanner machine needs to be looked at, or the old man's eyesight is just going out, either that or this old man truly is just a rude bitter old piece of trash. I'm currently enjoying my ice cold beer while writing this review. I would never, I repeat ever spend a penny of my hard earned money in this horrible establishment. I am very glad that another store got my hard earned money. When I called the store later to speak to management, the old man very cowardly hung up on me two times in a row. I feel bad for you bro. Have fun living out your remaining years slinging beers to...

I ordered a chicken cheesesteak sandwich and, although I knew it had lettuce, tomato, and onion on it, like no other chicken cheesesteak I have ever had, I could hardley eat half the sandwich. The chicken was so overcooked and had a strange taste and I was not sure there was any cheese on it. I guess it was Maryland style and I should have known only to order it in a good Italian restaurant like when I lived in New Jersey. The cole slaw that came with it had large chunks of cabbage instead of thin slices. I tried one of my companion's french fries which were very thin and hard and had no taste. I took the other half of the sandwich and the cole slaw home and ended up throwing it away. I really hate to waste food, especially if I pay so much for it, but I could not eat it. I will not return and will not recommend...
