This is the second time I've been here in the past 6 months or so, when I've come to MD for work. They used to have a good happy hour which made their average tasting appetizers that are over-priced, a fair deal. Now the $2 off apps on happy hour still makes their average tasting apps over-priced. More to the... More

Not far from Baltimore, but certainly worth the trip. Initial looks can be deceiving, the restaurant looks more like one you'd find in a strip mall. Upon entry, its the bar area on the right and behind it, is the dining area. Not that many people dining, so I was a little worried. Chairs look very ordinary and service was... More

We had gone to Gunning's for crabcakes a half dozen times, but not for the past year or so. Crabcakes previously were large, virtually no filler, and delicious. Well not anymore. We were there at 3:30 on Palm Sunday, first indication should have been how many items that the waitresses were telling customers they were out of, basics like oyster... More

My wife and I drove out to this location specificall so I could get crabs. However, I was disappointed to learn they did not have any. Options for my wife, who is a vegetarian, were limited to either a tossed salad or Caesar salad. Service was slow and the decor was lacking. My Prime Rib was pretty good though.

We had a great meal of medium crabs and beer in February. What could be better. The staff was friendly, and the price was right.

When you drive up to Gunnings you see a neon sign in a strip center. Not very promising until you realize that its the only business in the center that is open, the parking lot is full and the closest parking is on the street with a short hike. My theory is that if its crowded it must be decent.... More
