“ Great experience! Food was incredible- the homegrown tomatoes used in the recipes were delicious. Bloody Mary’s, burger and salad special all great. Staff was great, April was especially accommodating and went above and beyond. ”
“ Here for a Navy graduation & made an impromptu stop after receiving a recommendation from a previous employee. So glad we came by Laura M. and her colleagues were so warm her menu recommendations were spot on delicious. Also received info about the block parties and other events around town. Will definitely return! ”
“ We were looking for something close for a little weeknight celebration and decided on Maevery Public House. A great location, fantastic atmosphere and simple but elegant menu selection. Our server "Laura M" was second to none, engaging and happy to suggest/recommend. Started off with some bubbly and a crab cake. Graduated to the BBQ Ribs and a Pork Chop along with a Pike Road Pinot Noir (really enhanced the BBQ flavor). The night ended with some of the best bread pudding every. So happy with our choice Tuesday evening to stop at Maevery and we are confident that this will go into our rotation of restaurants we enjoy frequently. ”
“ The best pub food we have ever enjoyed and in a clean, comfortable and well lighted, woody, modern setting. Their pork shank was beautifully plated, swimming in cheesy grits and tender to the point of not requiring a knife, perfectly spiced and prepared. We split a large side order of mashed potatoes as appetizer which was cheesy, creamy excellence. Their eight ounce filet was likewise perfectly prepared and delightful. A pleasing wine list includes The Federalist red on tap and splits of a wondrous French sparkler! Our waitresses always have been superb during many previous outdoor visits and yesterday for our first indoor experience. By far our favorite restaurant. We gladly drive for about an hour specifically to visit Maevery. ”
