The food here was really good. I had family in town visiting and we went there twice in one week. The first time, we were seated right before 530pm and they still gave us the option of ordering from the early bird menu. I got the pork chop with wild rice and broccoli with a cesar salad. Everything was delicious. The pork chop was juicy and flavorful, not overdone, the rice was awesome, broccoli was steamed perfectly and the salad was crisp, and finished it off with a seasonal Sam Adams Summer Ale that hit the spot. I never had to be asked if I wanted more water, which I appreciate. My wife ordered a fillet; on the rare side of medium-rare and it arrived overdone. They took it back and brought her another one, and it too was a little overdone, but she took it anyways and it was fine. The second time we went there it was busier and we had to wait a few minutes. There was a couple that thought they would be slick and snuck past everyone waiting. Someone mentioned it to the manager and he asked them to go out and wait like everyone else. This time I ordered the medium-rare prime rib that had amazing flavor and juicy, again with wild rice and broccoli. I like wild rice and it was that good. My dad said his broccoli was really undercooked, but mine was the right amount of soft without being too soft and crisp without being too crisp. And the Sam Adams Summer Ale went down just as smooth as before. Great service and you can tell they are trying to make sure everyone has a great dining experience. Great service and a manager who cares.

Stopped in for a relaxed lunch in the middle of the week. The service was a bit unorganized, but I think thats because our server(s) were still in the training phase. (The place is so new.) Our servers and manager were trying very hard to please, and they were extremely polite, friendly and conscientious. Just not highly skilled. Yet. I honestly feel theyll get much better quickly. The food was surprisingly good for the price. There was quite a variety to choose from, and they offered some great lunch values for around $10 -- huge portions. I chose something more expensive -- a NY strip, which was much better than anything youd get at Outback. My wife got the Petite Filet, and she really loved that. The quality and preparation of the steaks were very good. But do understand that youre not at Ruths Chris. The atmosphere is very enjoyable -- clean, nicely decorated and a comfortable buzz (not overly loud). Oh, if you have kids, the restaurants kids menu looks like a very good value. And some of the booths are super huge, which really works well for families. Youll be comfortable. As one of the other commenters stated below -- Thank God Odenton has this place! When the new Ruths Chris opens near the train station later this year, I think the All American Steakhouse will still do well because it offers something different that this area needs. Give it a try for drinks or a dinner!

Pros: Split areas. One is a bit more quiet, smaller TVs. The other, massive screens and projectors and the usual bar noise. Friendly, inviting staff. Food variety/selection. Cons: Food taste is just okay. I had the parmesian peppercorn chicken sandwich and my dad had a bacon cheeseburger. We both would go again, and stick with an appetizer or two and beer most likely. Can-improve: Speaking of beer, they have about 6-7 beers on draft. Bud/Budlite/Miller/SamAdams/SamAdamsWinter and a few others. I wish they had a beer menu AND brought in just a few more craft or local beers. Perhaps even one on nitro. This is right near the Ft Meade. We like our beer, and well keep you open if you offer a great variety of brews! Overall: Considering how new it is, and the likelihood they want to improve and get better with time...I will return. Okay food, beer, and nice clean place. If you want excellent food and outstanding beer in terms of selection, skip this and go to Victoria Gastro Pub. P.S. "Nicole Ward" says no server was in site. I find that almost impossible to believe. This place has someone often working outside to cater, someone who will open the door for you, seat you, bartenders, etc, etc... Dont worry, youll be served and helped.

This is a review of large group service at lunch time. Being located just outside the gate to Fort Meade makes it a popular location for farewell lunches and other occasions. The facility is nice and large with several sections suitable for group functions. Service has been very good. The staff seems friendly and responsive. One time we tried to help things out by providing a list of pre-orders, but that just seemed to confuse them and slow things down. Better let them run their own system and they do just fine. They serve a really good complimentary basket of fresh baked bread with butter. So good I almost fill up on that and take my entree home. The main selections have been pretty good for the most part. Portions are decent. As with any large group order you can get mixed results on the cooking though, like over done dry burgers, etc. At least the staff is always ready to make things right. Ive had good and bad food, but mostly good. While I have yet to go order an individual meal, my experiences so far would not keep me from going back and doing so. Overall a nice lunch spot with good food and great service. Id say try it for yourself and see what happens, especially if youre a sucker for fresh baked bread like myself!

I gave only 2 stars because of the poor service. I place a carry out order on the phone. They told me 10-15 minutes. I got there in under 10 minutes. After waiting 15 minutes I see my burger is done. Another 10 minutes go by before they hand it to me. In the meantime two women came in and they also had a take out order. The lady hands both orders to us at the same time and takes both of our monies. The hostess comes back a few minutes later and hands the couple their change. She tells me she will be right back with my change. Well, this couple now asked if they can have some ketchup, so now the hostess has to manually fill 3 containers (still making me wait) and hands them to the couple, and the hostess walk off. It was another 5+ minutes before she FINALLY gave me my change!! I was in their for just 30 minutes!!!! The only plus was the food was delicious but I dont know if I will be back because of the poor service! UPDATE 8/23/17: Much better service!!! The told me 15 minutes, and it was done in 15! Different people were working the front this time too. The food was just as good as it was the first time.

Over-priced, over-cooked, bad service. Call me crazy but should have expected as much when we saw that they skimped the parking spots (youll understand if you go, just take a small car). Read the reviews which seem polar opposites here and on Yelp but figured we would give it a shot. Os were playing and we were hungry for food close to home. We also wanted to compare it to Longhorn in Hanover so we got steaks with appetizer. Ordered best steak on the menu, Bone-in Rib-eye. Asked for it medium and I got tired of chewing on the rubber mid way through. My wifes 12oz sirloin was the same. Mashed Potatoes tasted like they were from a box. Presentation was just as poor. Our waitress was clueless but there was a gentlemen there busting his butt to cover for her, If I knew his name I would call him out for making the meal bearable. There are not enough seats at the bar, when people leave its like watching musical chairs as people grab chairs and move them to opposite sides. We will forgo the long wait in Hanover the next time we choose to spend that kind of money or just cook it ourselves.
