Mountain Branch Grill & Pub 1827 Mountain Road, Joppatowne, MD 21085

"Great establishment. Very nice and attentive service. Our waiter perfectly split 10 checks with all sorts of random drinks, desserts etc spread among our group."

"We went for the Thanksgiving buffet. Most things were very good. There was a good variety of food. The turkey was moist and so tender that you could cut it with a fork. Same was true of the chicken. The mashed potatoes were delicious and the gravy was great in one line, but tasted burnt from the other line, which impacted the taste of everything else on the plate. The beef tips were so hard they were inedible. The pies were okay, but I like my own better. But our waitress was very nice and was hustling the whole time. However, there must not have been enough servers, because we had to wait awhile for drink refills and for soup spoons. All in all, we had a lovely time."

"We had a wonderful evening celebrating our parents anniversary. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Our waitress (Jordan I believe) was the best! Very pleasant and kind. The cozy fireplace is a nice touch too. The food was delicious. The stuffed shrimp was amazing!!! Can't say enough good things about this great restaurant!"

"The place is very nicely furnished. The chairs are comfy, interior is nice, and outside is a golf course, so there's lots of rich greenery to look at. There is also outdoor seating which can be nice on a good day. Parking is fine, too. It's not always packed, but I'd suggest making reservations just to be safe. The food here is delicious. It's a higher end place but I wouldn't say the prices are unreasonable. Dinner prices between $30 to $40 felt fair for the quality of the food. The stuffed shrimp and chicken chesapeake come loaded with high quality crab meat, their appetizers are tasty and pretty plentiful, and you get good portions of everything. My family leaves here stuffed, for sure. They also have a stocked bar, and a good alcohol list, so they were easily able to take in a few different cocktails or mixed drink orders. A good venue to hold parties as well, they are very accommodating for you to bring your own cake or decorations. We held a 50th birthday there, and wedding parties or similar can be seen fairly often. They're held in an upper loft, with a good amount of room."

"Mountain Branch was absolutely beautiful! I took my friend to eat brunch there and it was our first time visiting. We were greeted right away and were seated outside as the weather was perfect. We went around 11am and it was empty considering they had just opened. The pictures below doesn't do this place justice. It's a perfect location for a cute bridal shower, wedding or any special occasion to be frank. I ordered calamari, crab dip and honey old bay wings with a sweet tea. My friend ordered a salad and a shrimp salad sandwich. The food came out pretty fast and was very delicious! The honey used for the honey old bay wings was thick and very sticky, it was tasty but very difficult to chew through as it was causing my teeth to stick together. We stayed a little over an hour just chatting and watching a golf tournament that was occurring just below us. I highly recommend this place and am excited to return."
