Korean BBQ was solid. Went on a Thursday afternoon not many people. Seemed like a nice place.

This place is the cutest! I came here (my first time in Sykesville) for a surprise birthday get together for a friend. One of her friends got there earlier and scouted out a good spot- an entire room with a big couch, extra chairs, shuffleboard, and a kids closet at the back of the restaurant. We had the room to ourselves and had a blast, made even better by the excellent service, tasty cocktails, and delicious foods (we ordered from the snacks section). I will definitely be coming back here when I return to cute downtown Sykesville!

I will always rate a business by its customer service and not only is the service amazing here so are the drinks and food. Whatever the man in the tiny kitchen is doing, he's killing it because the food is always high quality. I have never had a soggy tomato here, is all I'm saying!

Seriously one of the best places to have delicious food with wonderful people! Thank you so much!

We love this place, it's great for a quick drink and dinner or to spend the evening with friends! We've had many fun nights out here! They can usually make some dishes gluten friendly if gf bread is available, and it usually is.

Such a cool place in our special gem of Sykesville. Highly recommend.

I love coming here for a drink and a sandwich - the figgy piggy panini is probably my favorite because of the sweet and salty combo. The pretzel is great as a snack and they have the grainy mustard for texture. They also have an extensive whiskey and bourbon selection so I get to try different stuff every time I go (WL Weller Special Reserve, Blanton's, Staag, Larceny, etc.).

Response from The Local Motive Hi Mike!! What a special review. Thank you so much for sharing your favorites! We are looking forward to your future ... Read More
I had a great first time experience at this establishment. The Mississippi Pot Roast Hoagie was very good and I loved the pickles. My sever was perfect she made two excellent libations. I had a Manhattan with her choice of bourbon which was Heaven Hill. Then I enjoyed a Last Word which reminded me of a Gimlet only maybe a little less sweet. I wasn't a fan of the chips but I won't hold it against them

Amazing place. Worth the trip, located in a charming small town. The people, food, drinks, service, and atmosphere are fantastic!!! Been there 3-4 times and can’t wait to go back again!!!! Every item on the menu is the best example that you will find. The pretzel is huge and delicious, and that’s just the beginning.
