"Excellent food, wine, service, and a welcoming environment. Doggone, I forgot her name, but our waitress was very pleasant and helped make dinner a fun experience. The Maryland crab cakes were delicious and the pimento a nice part of the seasoning. Being a native Marylander I might suggest a bit of Old Bay seasoning for a little spiciness. And now the chef will hate me. . Very good food and experience. A 5 in my book."

"I had an amazing experience with takeout from this restaurant. The food was fantastic, deserving a perfect 5-star rating. The Fresh Cut Fries were incredibly crispy and tasty, while the Cheese Steak Sub was exceptional—definitely something you shouldn't miss! The service was just as impressive, with friendly staff who made the ordering process easy and efficient. I also appreciated the overall atmosphere; it was welcoming and comfortable. If you're driving, you'll find plenty of free parking available, making it convenient to pick up your meal. I highly recommend giving this place a try!"

"Smaller menu but sometimes simple is the best. The food was delicious and generous portions. The western burger was very good and the hand cut fries were abundant. The beer can cheese dip is good (buff chix dip). I honestly wish it had a bit more hot sauce in it but that's just my preference. Someone got a steak and cheese and it was massive, brought half of it home. They also have a very large beer selection and bar in the back. All in all great experience."

"Have not been to Ladels in years. Don't know why I waited so long. The food was AMAZING! love the outside dining option for nice days but the inside is decorated beautifully. The service was amazing. I had been searching for a carrot cake for my sons graduation. My daughter had a slice for desert, lemme tell you it's one of the best carrot cakes I've had for a long time. I thought they'd say no for sure when I asked about getting an entire cake but they helped me! Had it ready to go and waiting for me on the day I needed and the price could not be beat! Can't say enough about Ladels other then I can't wait to go back. I had the Jack Daniel's chicken salad. Sooo good! Highly recommend. These are the places the deserve our support. They always go above and beyond with true quality food."

"High hopes based on multiple personal recommendations. We were not impressed. 2 stars and that’s generous. Several of us decided to take the plunge and try Killian’s after what seems like decades. We started by ordering drinks. The beer list seems like it was etched in time since around 1991. There was not a single worthy craft beer, and primary offerings included Budweiser, Miller, Yuengling, Iron City. There was no draft beer. Strangely they had Killian’s Irish Red which was in style in the 90’s. The wine list was also sub-par. There were a few box wines, but styles were limited. They also charged $7 per glass. By contrast, Phillippi’s, only a few miles away, charges $4.50 for a better selection. On to the food. We tried the steak salad. It was Pittsburgh-style with roasted or grilled potatoes rather than fries. Although the steak was tender, it was awful. Let me preface this by stating that I have an electric smoker and know a thing or two about smoking meats. The steak and potatoes tasted like creosote, and had a bitter, harsh oily flavor from over-smoking. In addition to being unhealthy, it was terrible. Later upon reading some of the reviews, we saw photos of charred meat, which tells us this is par for the course. Just WOW! Dear friends, this is NOT good smoked food, or how it is supposed to taste. Contrast this to Gaucho in Pittsburgh, or even a hardwood smoked pizza. Utterly disgusting. Next we had the potato salad. I expected something traditional. What I got was something that was overwhelmed by an odd flavor of cloves!?! Not sure why, but cloves does not enhance potato salad. Very bad. We had the spaghetti dinner with a side salad. I can’t say it was bad, but it was mediocre at best. The salad was similar to the Burrell Inn with the MSG-laden Ciciarelli Bros. dressing. Not my style. This review is not going to change anyone’s mind, nor is it the intention. The goal is to be objective and show that these reviews are incredibly wrong, yet still overwhelmingly positive. Our acquaintances were also wrong and will no longer be trusted. I also should mention that it was very pricey. This is obviously a popular establishment, but so is McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s to name a few. To each his own. Creosote!"
