Quotations

I only have joined them for a drink (well three).but the service is great! A wonderful staff with a great attitude and belief in their quality. Good drinks and hear good things about the food as well… will be back soon!

This review is mainly for the beer as the only food item I’ve tried here were some appetizers I had a while back. I’ll start with what I liked. The beer was great and they have a good selection of craft brews. I had a raspberry ale and a Belgium IPA this time around. Both were bursting with flavor and nicely chilled in a glass to bring out the taste. I also really like the quirky quotes you’ll find in random places throughout the bar. It makes it feel a bit more unique rather than your typical bar.
I didn’t find the service particularly great. The bartender wasn’t rude, but he wasn’t very friendly either. Pretty much handed us our drinks and kept to himself. Even though the beer was great, I still felt it was a little pricy for a pint. Couple dollars cheaper and it would have been a solid deal.
I’ll return here again at some point because they have some really unique beers to try and I enjoy the atmosphere when I’m with friends. However I don’t think this place will be for everyone, especially if you’re on a budget.

Years of dining in Media and one thing has never changed, the poor service and lackluster food at Quotations. Expect to wait for table, wait for your food and to leave disappointed with no apology. This would do well as a college town bar.

Bartender acted like we were a problem because we wanted to order food (shocking I realize at dinner time on a weekend). Im shocked he didn’t hurt himself rolling his eyes at us when he begrudgingly handed us some menus. Got the turkey gobbler which was some turkey with a brick (and I mean a brick) of inedible stuffing. Beers were decent but won’t be heading back any time soon.

I absolutely love this place very quiet bar and the beer the list is so long, staff is very informative on every beer which is impressive I have never had a bad time at this place I love it there

Cute bar. Quotes everywhere. Expensive dinner! although we did have 6 craft beers, brisket and rib dinner :0

I can’t believe this place only has three stars. We were there the other day, food is great, beer is great, service is quick as always. I love quotations, owner does a great job.

I really enjoy this bar. The bartenders are always friendly and they have a nice assortment of beers. However, I have one complaint. I wish they would list the alcohol % on their beer list. I was drinking beer all night with a 10% alcohol percentage and had no idea until I looked it up. As some one who appreciates a large variety of beers, I like to know what abv I am drinking because it makes a big difference in the number of beers I purchase. This is a bigger concern for someone who plans to be a designated driver. Obviously buying one beer with a 5.4 abv is much different than a 10%. But overall, a nice experience.

Very fun place with good food and a great beer list that is always changing. Love the crab fries (with real lump crab!!!) that are covered in cheese sauce and old bay. Certainly good drinking food. The Thai shrimp are spicy but sweet and well cooked. Love the Italian pork sandwich, definitely get the long hots! Also note able — crab burger and filet cheesesteak with roasted red peppers.

We ate at Quotations twice last week. We went last Wednesday for Dining Under the Stars, then again on Saturday afternoon because the food was so good on Wednesday that we wanted to go back again! On Wednesday, we had burgers and steak fajitas which were excellent. Then on Saturday we had a mix of food in our group of friends. We tried the wings, egg rolls and the roast beef sandwich. All were great and I really want to go back and have the Chiorzo egg rolls again! This is my new favorite place to eat in the area, no joke! The service is really good, they are attentive and very nice. The place is pretty big and has a pleasant atmosphere. Also, the bar has an excellent selection of beer! Keep up the good work Quotations!

So we went here to play quizzo as it was advertised on their website for 8pm. Well that was a lie as it didn’t start until 9pm. This is just incompatible with the whole work-​thing I have going on most weekdays.
Other than that, the place isn’t bad, it just isn’t special. There are a lot of places in Media, so definitely stop in and see if you have a better experience, but I have been a few times and it just never has impressed me much.

My wife and I have been visiting Quotations for years. This is a great spot for a date night but they also treat the kids well when they are in tow. On our last visit, they provided a box of Legos for the kids while they waited for their dinner.
The draught and bottle beer selection is what usually brings out to Q’s. They have a great rotating selection and often times they theme out their beer menu. It is awesome to visit in October when they go all out Pumpkin.
All in all a pretty basic establishment with excellent drink options. The food is usually above average and they usually have some nice specials.
The service is also very good and I am pretty sure that the owner has always been on-​site during our visits. Definitely worth checking out Q’s!

My friends and I had a great time at Quotations last night. The staff was very accommodating and lovely, especially our waiter Rick. The beer list was definitely on point. Just when I think I’ve tried every craft beer there is to try, Quotations has on tap about 6 beers I’ve never heard of. It’s always fun trying new stuff! The stand out was Avery Resurrection which was a sweet dark beer… delicious.
Our table ordered a bunch of random appetizers and most were very good. The crab Mac and cheese was the stand out for me. Mozz sticks were as good as one could expect them to be… pretty hard to mess up. Egg rolls were my second favorite… they were filled with a cheesy prime rib concoction and the horseradish dipping sauce was a perfect accompaniment. The quesadilla was pretty lame and bland, I would not recommend that.
All in all this was a fun experience with great draft beer. If I ever find myself in this part of town again I will certainly go back!

If you’re looking for good beer and a relaxed atmosphere, quotations is great place. The food is okay, nothing great but acceptable. The beer list, however, is wonderful, always having a good rotation of different styles and beers. The staff has always been nothing but friendly and helpful every time I have come. If they run out of a beer you ordered, they are great with recommending a similar alternative that they currently have.
It can be a little difficult to find a spot to sit on a crowded night, however the bar is large enough that a spot will open up eventually. There are also a number of large flat screen TVs all over the bar, and I would say for that reason this is probably the best location in Media if you want to watch sports. I was here during the NFL playoffs last season and it was a great atmosphere to watch the games.
Overall, nothing amazing in terms of food, but everything else makes Quotations 4 stars.

Love this place. Food is so much better than it looks. Their crab fries are beyond delicious. Way better than chickies and Petes. They have actual crab meat on them! Only problem I have with this place is the tables are kinda sticky from the finish that is on them but that’s not a huge issue. Come here for a good and hearty dinner for sure!

Yea, the food is eh like everyone seems to say, but I love going in there for one reason: Ricky the bartender. That ginger love bug is the nicest guy around and he makes the whole experience be an experience. He makes it exactly the kind of place that you want to hang out in, especially late night. Great sense of humor and great recognition of regulars and their interests. Sweet dude all around. Rick for president.

I gave this place 4 stars for its beer selection which is pretty awesome. The food is okay. Probably would give it 3 stars if based only on the food. On the other hand, the prices aren’t bad at all, and the service has always been extremely fast.

My third time here and same story. Great service, good food and excellent beer. I enjoyed my duck breast sandwich and my double ipa. Will return, nice alternative … service was the best!

Quotations seems to have a loyal following, and from what I experienced recently, the great customer service has to be a big reason. Plus the fun & spacious bar atmosphere that makes it a good place to meet up with friends. I think this place deserves a 3* primarily because of the service.
I ordered a sesame crusted ahi tuna sandwich with onion rings instead of the chips it said it came with. The portion was a large 6 oz (?) tuna filet — but it was more rare than I requested, so I asked for it to be cooked slightly more. No problem, and without my asking, the management took off 50% off the price, and did not charge me for the onion rings. I was impressed.
As for the food — it’s not the main attraction, unless you are a big fan of Applebee-​type food. The onion rings were hot from the fryer when my sandwich first came out… but since they went back to the kitchen with my tuna, they returned lukewarm — wish they would have either left them with me or replaced them with hot ones! The tuna steak was obviously some pre-​frozen, pre-​sesame crusted fish served on a big, fluffy institutional white bread bun on top of about 5 leaves of spring mix. I ate the fish and skipped the bun — it was okay, but not something I would ever seek out. My friend ordered the steamers — they looked okay too, though the bread also looked like some soft italian bun. A simple crusty artisan baguette could have put it over the top.
If the food was better, this would be a great place to go instead of the ever-​crowded Iron Hill across the street. But Iron Hill’s food and atmosphere is just way better.. .

After a failed attempt at trying to Dine Under the Stars in Media sans reservations, we ended up at Quotes.
We were seated almost immediately, and they weren’t super busy, but there was a decent enough crowd for a Wednesday evening around 7:45. It took a little while to get drinks and order appetizers, but nothing crazy — our server was nice but seemed a little frazzled.
As it was «fajita special Wednesday», I decided on the fajitas — everyone else at my table ordered sandwiches. My fiancé ordered a «well done» burger.
Our appetizers took a little while to come out, but maybe that’s just because at this point i was STARVING.
About an hour later, our four meals come out, one at a time — which I thought was a bit odd for the size of the restaurant, and especially strange for how simple our food choices were (meaning I didn’t order a filet or something that takes a long time to prepare/​cook)
Atmosphere:
It’s definitely has a bar feel more than a restaurant. It has little quotes written on chalkboards all over — which was cute. Quizzo starts ~9pm on Wednesday nights. Our table was not clean and it did not have silverware on it. They were not super busy so I am unsure about this, and the long timing of everything.
FOOD:
Bacon Wrapped Scallop App:
This was actually decent — crispy bacon — the scallops were cooked okay.
Fajitas:
Thank goodness for my turning-​brown guacamole, as the chicken was so dry for my fajitas that I would not have been able to eat it save for the guac! The best part of the meal was the sour cream — it was thick and creamy and delicious, also the other saving grace to my fajitas! I I had order this item because it was on special and I wasn’t trying to spend a lot of money — boy did I make a mistake in coming to quotes! My fajitas were $ 18! I was shocked. I thought they would maybe cost about $ 12 bucks. If i would have known they were $ 18, I would have promptly returned them due to how unappetizing they were.
Burger:
I didn’t try any of this, but my fiancé was not a huge fan. His «well-​done» burger came out pink (not blood, just pink), which was fine but just not what was ordered. He maybe got down half of his burger before giving up. The saving grace to this item was the onion rings, however they were very disproportional compared to our other friend who ordered the onion rings, by a lot — so that was disappointing.
Overall: way too pricey for the sub-​par quality of food — I will NOT be returning. It should not take over an hour to cook and serve 3 sandwiches and 1 order of crappy fajitas. Service was not that great. This might be a decent spot for the college-​aged crowd, but certainly is not my cup of tea. who messes up fajitas?!?
