Ten Oaks Tavern

I go there every couple of weeks for burger night and it is amazing. I also love the Buffalo shrimp but it is disappointing that there are only four to a plate. The wings however are great, they are nice and crispy. The fries are also great with a crispy outside and a mashed potatoey inside.

We stumbled upon this neighborhood bar and grill after being turned away at hot air balloon festival due to capacity. So we switched motives and looked for a good spot to grab a brew and dinner. So I reached out to my Unilocal fam and we decided on this place.
We were seated immediately and our server was great, very attentive but not over baring. I started with a pretty good ipa. The cream of crab soup was very good. I got the beef short rib, the bbq sauce was a lil thick was it was good so it was cool, but the ribs were very tender. Would definitely order again. We finished the meal with some delicious funnel cake fries, I’m not much of a dessert guy but this may be at the top of list as far as dessert goes.
Overall a very gd neighborhood place to hang and grab a good bite to eat and have a brew.

I’m from California and we came here for dinner after an Orioles game. I had the Chicken Crisfield and the rest of our party had prime rib. Everything fir everyone was most excellent. We all had a small salad and mashed potatoes with our dinner. EVERYTHING tastes so wonderful!!! If you’re in town, stop by. You will not regret it.
Oh, service was polite, accurate, and quick!!!
One more thing, prices are super reasonable too!!!
DO IT!!! Just come here!!! Love this place and it’s my first time.

Good burgers, cream of crab had to many lumpy flour bits. Fries were good. Chips not great

Place is a great stop by place! They have very good food but some of the portions are smaller then you’d expect. We had the ahi sizzled tuna which was very good and the Cajun chicken strips. I envisioned breaded chicken strips but it’s actually grilled chicken which is still very good but I would personally go for the Cajun shrimp instead. Bartender was great and the atmosphere is pretty nice. All in all its worth a stop in

The food is ok and the service is decent for the most part. I ate here two nights ago and had terrible service. We told our server that we needed just a few more minutes to look over the menu and then she never came back. I saw her at the bar talking to another customer. She never looked over at our table to see if we were ready and I had to get up and go over to the bar to let her know we wanted to order.

This is my favorite American type bistros around! The buffalo shrimp is super spicy and delicious and the mashed potatoes are even better. The prices are fair but on the high end however it’s worth it. Highly recommend this place!

We went here yesterday, a Sunday night mind you, when the kitchen closes at 10. When we were on our way at 9:45, I was able to call in our order so that it was ready when we got there. That alone says a lot about how accommodating and nice the staff is! I got the homemade lasagna which came with a salad — either garden or Caesar (which is nice because most places charge you extra for a Caesar) and homemade garlic bread. It was DELICIOUS!!! I even ordered another salad to go because it was so good! We had an order of calamari which was delicious as well, not over cooked and chewy like some places. Both the kid’s and adult chicken nuggets/​tenders were very good and came with yummy fries. The cheeseburgers are excellent as are their ribs and cream of crab soup! We can’t forget about the ORANGE CRUSHES! They are sooooo good! Most importantly, the service is amazing. When we walked in the guy knew that we were the ones who had called in and had a table ready for us. Our waiter was so nice and attentive. We never had to ask for refills or extra napkins — he was on top of things and very polite. We love going here and always have a great dining experience! Definitely would recommend it to anyone!

The food and the service were okay but not extraordinary. It is a bit crowded and cramped at times but since its a pub I really can’t blame it. However, they are pretty kid friendly so that’s a plus!

We ordered a cheese steak sub, Caesar salad, Rachel and rock fish. All good and no complain. Service was good too. We would go back. :)

Great owners, and bartenders! Foods always consistent and good. The cream of crab soup is crazy good. I’m a fan of their wraps, the Cajun chicken is a must try! Great atmosphere. Definitely a nice little family joint

I live locally but haven’t been to this place in ages (if I remember correctly it’s changed a few times since). I’ve heard good things so I went to check it out a few weeks ago for lunch with some friends. By the end of lunch the dinning room was pretty full, with only one waitress. She was not very responsive which could have been due to the fact she appeared overwhelmed.
I got the soup of the day — a beer cheese soup with bacon and chicken. Surprisingly this was the highlight of the meal and I would give the soup a ⁵⁄₅ alone. I finished my lunch with the spinach salad, which was only okay. The pieces of spinach were so large they were almost unmanageable to eat. The salad was just very generic. My friend said the same thing about the ten oaks salad she had.
Our other friend got the quesadillas which she said she enjoyed. The portion size was huge, and we probably all could have split the quesadillas and been fine.
Overall, nothing special.

The food is okay. However, we stopped going because they continually have on Fox «news.» Nothin’ like a good dose of right-​wing republican propaganda to go with your beer.

This is a really nice, low-​key restaurant that is really good for what it is. I have been going to this restaurant for 10+ years (before it was the Tavern), and have very rarely been disappointed with the food or service. The cream of crab soup is a must try– seriously, I want to know what the secret ingredient is because it’s addicting!

Great non-​chain restaurant, nice atmosphere. Staff is welcoming and friendly. Nice variety of pub food on the menu.

This tavern is dark and old-​school, but the food is dependably good. Basic, but good. I usually get a sandwich when I go here, and it’s usually totally fine.
But to be honest, when I go out I don’t really want a sandwich that I can make at home myself. So that’s the limitation of this restaurant for me. Its good solid grub, but it’s things I can make myself.

So we’re living in a new area and exploring some of the new digs closeby. Only a little ways from our pad is the Ten Oaks Tavern.
I was brought here by some friends and originally tried one of their custom burgers, which was a pretty good burger, but the next time I came here I tried the crab chowder. Oh.my.god! It was amazing. I have brought my family in here a couple of times and the better half agrees, this place is fantastic.
The food is great. The atmosphere is relaxed. The wi-​fi is free.
Despite the fact that it’s a «tavern» it’s a great place to bring my family. They are a little pricey hence the 4 stars, but man those are tasty stars!

Everything was cooked to order and the service was fantastic. The only thing that I would change is to add the Blue cheese crumbles at the last minute to the Black&Bleu Sirloin. The cheese was all melted but, it was still good.

While driving through rural Maryland, I decided it was lunchtime. I activated the hilarious new feature on my iPhone 4S and said «Siri, where should I go for lunch?». Siri popped up a list of restaurants, and this one was the highest reviewed, so off we went.
Man, I am totally asking my phone for advice more often. This place was great! We were there around lunchtime so we had the place mostly to ourselves. I got buffalo chicken fingers and my husband got the sliders.
Our waitress was awesome — super nice and really attentive! She was also really great with recommending things — she recommended we get the Boston Cream Pie, something I hadn’t had in years, but hey, why not. Wow, so good. It tasted like something my mom would make, which is crazy high praise from me, since honestly, my mom is pretty awesome.
The food was great, and I don’t know what they did to the fries, but neither of us could stop eating them. I normally don’t even like french fries!
My only complaint is that it’s so far away that I don’t know whether I’ll be able to go there again. If I’m ever up in that neck of the woods, I’d make it a point to go back. :D

I had been to MD’s Country Pub a few times and I liked the laid back feel and simple food. I was surprised when I came back another day and the ownership had changed. They renamed it (Ten Oaks Tavern) and it seems like they made a lot of improvements inside. I’m not sure exactly what changes they made but the place feels different, it seems to be decorated different and maybe painted. Not that it was bad before, but the improvements are nice.
The menu has also changed it seems more upscale now and definitely more pricey. I have only tried 2 things on the menu and I thought both were great. The fried shrimp are humongous! The biggest I have ever seen. They are battered and fried perfectly. The cream of crab soup is rich, creamy, and delicious. The first time I got it I was pleased with the amount of crab meat chunks. I came back a second time and I thought it seemed to have less crab and it was more small, stringy pieces. Still a decent amount of crab, but not as much as the first time. A bowl is a generous serving, enough for a meal for me.
The waitresses here are really attentive and friendly. There’s not a whole lot of places to eat around this area, so it’s nice to know of a good spot nearby (that’s not a chain!) with high quality food. I will keep coming back here for sure, now I’m just prepared to spend more money than I had to when it was MD’s Country Pub.
