Adam's Taphouse and Grille - Barbecue restaurant in Annapolis - 921 Chesapeake Ave, USA

Absolutely gorgeous building. The bar in the center of an open floor to vaulted ceiling design allows for an inclusive feel between bar and restaurant. The design is modern and sleek. Not like the other Adam's locations. The architecture and atmosphere will allow the company to draw on more of the community for dinner and / or drinks. The original Adam's feels like a warm country home for whole families and dinners with babies. The new Adam's boasts date night, an older crowd enjoying a cold drink and ap with friends or a great meal /business meeting. I was impressed at how large it felt inside. There are 2 levels and lots of stairs if you choose to dine upstairs, which I did. It was a great view of the bar from above, and I could not help but think this could become the Cheers of Eastport..the food was delicious. The menu is a smaller menu than the other Adam's locations I've visited. Edgewater, Kent Island area and Eastport... but not lacking in any deliciousness. We had the crab dip served with a warm baggette crispy on the outside and soft on the inside it paired well with the bubbly cream cheese and MD blue crab. I had prime rib, med rare with asparagus and sweet potato casserole. Omg, that, my friends, was worth the entire visit. Served in a tiny cast iron skillet, the sweet potatoes have brown sugar crumbles and minced pecans baked until crispy around the edges. A photo of this is below. The restroom was clean and stocked. It could benefit from an air freshner of some kind, in my opinion. The server was great, attentive, and knew the menu well. A young woman with an awesome personality in college who also has worked at Adam's Eastport for a couple of years. The only disappointment was that more than half my prime rib was all fat and gristle, thus inedible. The photo on the small plate of the fat is the last photo below. FYI, parking was nonexistant. I have lived here all my life pretty much, so I was able to find a place near Eastport Elementary.

I really wanted to love this place. It was recommended by a local, so I had high hopes. The meatloaf was delicious. The steak nachos were excellent. The chili was really good. The service wasn't great. Only one other couple there and it took 10 minutes to get a drink. Food was great. Waited for 15 minutes after table was cleared to order desert but got tired of waiting. Paid the bill and left. There were plenty of staff, chatting, cleaning silverware, etc. but nobody had time to come to the table. Food was great. Service...

I always enjoyed Adam’s at the Eastport Shopping center. Last night we went to Adam’s on fourth. While what an experience. The food was awesome, the venue is beautiful. What better combo good food and a beautiful place to enjoy a meal. I will definitely be back.

We catered a BBQ for about 75 people with Adam's and the food and service were great! We had the right quantities of everything and they set it up on-time and without much direction, enabling us to pay attention to our guests. The leftover chicken and baked beans kept well in the freezer - we're still enjoying them. The team was easy to work with over email. Thank you!

Excellent 1st time experience with excellent food. Great cheap strong drinks during Happy Hour. Customer service was beyond fabulous .They are awesome all way around must come back when I'm in town. Best wings I've had in long time.

Ryan was an amazing server! Football games are on and it’s quite busy but Ryan was never not around and our food came out so quick! Will definitely be back!

The food at this restaurant was very good. The homemade clam chowder soup was absolutely amazing, awesome!!! I have tasted many clam chowder soups but this one is for the record!!! The baby back ribs were very tender. The burger was flavorful and surprisingly tender. My server Sophi was great! I will be revisiting really soon!!!

My buddy and I grabbed lunch here yesterday, and I've gotta say, it was really good. I got the short rack of ribs with beans and fries, and he got the brisket sandwich with fries, and we split an order of crab dip. The crab dip was, well, it was Maryland crab dip, so of course it was good. It had *better* be good. If the crab dip wasn't good, the locals would come out with torches and pitchforks and burn the place down. My buddy said his brisket sandwich was very good, and the fries were very nice for both of us. My ribs were excellent--perfectly sauced (the sauce was very nice), and fall-off-the-bone tender. But I've gotta talk about those beans. Do NOT sleep on the beans at this joint. These baked beans are absolutely not the canned garbage you'll find at other places. These are VERY CLEARLY homemade, and very much worth getting. There are like 4 different kinds of beans in there, which lends a very nice, varied, and interesting texture, and the sauce is just divine. Combine all that with a good beer selection and buddy, you've got a winning combo.
