after reading all the reviews i was excited to try it out. some friends and i went there for lunch today. it took 1 hour and 45 min for lunch. way too long! and they messed up two of our orders. the onion rings were really good but the rest was just so-so. hopefully it is just the beginning kinks and they will work it out.

Went there last night with my girlfriend and her daughter. My girlfriend had the seafood pasta with alfredo sauce, her daughter had stuffed shrimp, and I had the crab imperial. Both of them said their's was great and my imperial was too.

The imperial was a little flatter than most but spread out more. I'm used to getting a smaller but deeper sized dish. It turned out even better though, since it had more of a crust (my preference). It looked like it was going to be too dry but was very moist underneath -- a good surprise. Also had a very nice delicate flavor. Yummy!

. The salads were good and fresh.

As for the atmosphere, it's a quaint, kind of smallish place but had a down-home feel too it. We chose the bar section which worked out fine for us, but it could have had a little less lighting for my taste. All in all, a very nice place -- great food, good/friendly service and something different. A nice change from all the canned franchises out there. We'll have to try breakfast sometime when there's a little less traffic on 235.

Five of us went to the Lexington for breakfast this morning @ 6:15 but it was closed

Ended up at IHOP. Anyone know the hours?? Checked again @ 7:30 and it was still closed.

Well we're here and this is by far my favorite place in MD. I had french toast and its the best around. Delicious bacon and the fried potatoes. The blue moon even tastes better here for some reason too. I love this place.
