The Stables

Everything I have had here has been delicious! Crab pretzel is awesome!
I do wish the tables on the bar side were bar height. When a band is playing if people are dancing you can’t see anything. Otherwise everything is great!

Cream of crab soup had no crab chunks in it, it was literally just cream soup, which is disappointing considering the price. It also didn’t taste very good and needed old bay. They seemed very understaffed, and out of cups for drinks.
I would not go here again.

The service was great but the food not so much. I ordered a steak and it came out quickly. But it was not seasoned. Who doesn’t put salt and pepper on a steak? Very bland. Which made the cheap meat taste even cheaper. Get something other than steak.

Everything on the menu is great. Their Tuesday Steak Night is amazing. The crab cakes and crab melts are huge. Every time I try something different on the menu, it makes me realize why this place is always packed. The staff at Stables are excellent; they go out of their way to make sure the customer is satisfied. My husband and I love this place!!!

I was very excited to come to Stables as an out-​of-​towner after hearing great things about it from my local friends, who claimed it to be the quintessential Westminster spot to get a hearty dinner. They definitely weren’t wrong and I enjoyed my experience at Stables, but a few things could have been better.
My brother and I came for dinner around 5:30 on a Friday. The hostess mentioned they had a lot of groups that night (we noticed a lot of big families) but we were seated immediately. Our server was great, unfortunately didn’t catch his name but he did a good job of checking up on us and refilling drinks.
For an appetizer we had the mozzarella sticks, which are pretty hard to mess up, but they seemed just a little under-​done to both of us; just too lightly fried and didn’t have that crispy-​melty combo that you look for in mozzarella sticks.
For dinner, I ordered the Stable burger, partly because it seemed like a good «classic» item to get and also because at $ 9.00 it was one of the cheaper items on the menu, with most of the entrees in the 16 – 20 range, which surprised me for a casual place like this. The burger was huge (awesome) and cooked how I asked and came with provolone, lettuce, and tomato: the two pieces of iceberg lettuce were kind of falling off, and the two slices of tomato were pretty small, so it just didn’t really LOOK all that great, but it was really yummy and filling.
All in all we had a good time and I would come again, not for a five star meal but definitely to hang out with friends and fill up on some classic American food. Also maybe come later in the evening if you’re not a fan of screaming/​crying children :)

Express Lunch. Bang for the Buck.
Meatloaf Better then My Moms. Belly full for two people lunch under $ 20.
Never had a bad meal. New Beer Garden and Live Bands every weekend. Lots of fun

Weekend Breakfast is the BOMB, the best in Westminster by far, if you don’t like the breakfast there then you don’t know food

Food was pricy but plentiful. Sadly it also took forever and both my dish and my husbands was cold when delivered. Wait staff was scarce and not to be found until check time. And we had to pay a cover just in case we were there when the band started. How did we know at 7 if we were still going to be there after 9?

Huge portions but the sides are pretty much starch or canned veggies. Steak Night (Tuesdays) cannot be beat for value and the steaks are cooked to order well. Ribs are good and really affordable the sweet barbecue sauce tends to be too much. Ask for it on the side and you will be happy you did.
Definitely not the typical chain experience and the staff is very friendly and willing to help. We are locals and this is now our go to place.
If ordering Italian/​Greek food ask the waiter what is made fresh as that is what you want.
Kudos to the owner for keeping live music and comedy in Westminster!

Had dinner last night and saw Justin Schlegel comedy but here. I enjoyed dinner and the show!
I ordered the Shrimp Salad Melt. It was really good. I ate it up! I hear the crab cakes are good here too! My date had the Shrimp Scampi, not a lot of seafood, whole lotta pasta. The shrimp and scallops were a good size and he enjoyed his pick overall.
We ordered some drinks. He had a mojito and I sipped on a whiskey sour w. Jack. Best whiskey sour I have had in a while.

crabcakes are awesome. chicken tenders are good. veggies are canned. not the place for a steak. you have to watch what time you go on what night because they have entertainment and a cover. we have arrived just to turn around and leave. weekend evenings are no good. if you want an evening family dinner — this is not the place. they charge a cover to get in if you just want to eat, and some of the performances are not family appropriate. who gets their family together for an evening meal during the week???

went here sunday for breakfast and ordered the special –Steak and Crab omelet. It was very good side of home fries were good but small. Coffee was good and fresh.

Been here forever… but it has not changed at all. Not in a good way. Very old décor… needs updating. The food is not good and gives me a stomachache every time I go. Poor drink choices… They get extremely crowded with live music and dancing on weekends otherwise not sure how they still are open.

Years ago this place was a ‘hang out’ for the Baltimore Colts and was very popular. Westminster was spring training for the Colts years ago and more recent the Raven’s football.
Today the new ownership has improved the place offers many social activities in the evenings, but a lot of canned and fried foods. Still, the place has such good seafood it’s hard to give them a bad rating.
Very good crab cakes, mostly a bar restaurant local place. Not a place where you want fresh veggies, but known for crab cakes.

The only reason I gave them a star is because the serve was good
The food was horrible. They do not know how cook prime rib it came dry leather
Could have use it as the sole on my boots and they have a 2 inch lift

First of all, everything here is huge! We had the crab fondue served w/​loaf of buttered bread. warm, bubbly, cheesy goodness w/​lumps of crab. They have big steaks…28 oz Prime Rib on the bone cooked to order (1−½−2″ thick) lightly seasoned served w/​Au Jus and 2 sides. The service is down home country friendly. The place is a bit of a dive (could use some sprucing up). But, they crank out some good eats. Caution: if you can’t eat large portions of cow. eat ½ take the rest home or split w/​someone. Also, they have happy hour drink specials. checkout their website

Went here after playing Westminster National since it was one of the closest things I found on Unilocal with good reviews. It is definitely a rustic/​western style restaurant with a pretty nice size bar and wooden tables and chairs. Every TV had Nascar on and it seemed to be a place popular with the locals.
I sat at the bar and ordered a few beers, moderately priced. They only have a couple on tap and only one was a non macro brew like Coors or Miller. The food was ok. I ordered the gyro platter and it was huge, but very messy to eat and they served it with pita chips so I ended up just eating the meat with a fork. I knew better than to order a gyro at a western restaurant but the bartender highly recommended it. Needless to say it was better going in than coming out…
The service at the bar left something to be desired as the bartender seemed like she was lost and didn’t really know much about the beer or food menu. Most of the food was really expensive too, especially from a restaurant of this style. They had chain prices (i.e. Lone Star, Texas Roadhouse) with some items as much as 25 dollars. The only thing moderately priced were the sandwiches.
I would probably try somewhere else if you’re in that area.

This place is really authentically kitschy cool. They have an amazing stage for live music. The bar has really good happy hour prices — $ 3 bottles /​$ 2 drafts. This place is a real western style steakhouse. I would say the steak I had was comparable to some of my favorite places in Ft Worth. The side salad was good — but the broccoli was a bust. When we ordered they were out of ice tea… so they made a pitcher just for my table. Service was friendly and chipper and didn’t rush us– even 40 minutes before the restaurant closed.
