G.l. Shacks Grill - Sykesville

Used to be such a great spot but new owners stopped stocking good beer in cans (a true bright spot from old owner) and they hired a woman who instead of acknowledging a customer walking in choose to text with her back to the bar,

We have ordered out from here in the past and decided to eat in this time. Wife ordered cheeseburger burnt, no just well done but burnt , I ordered a cheesesteak with American cheese only . The waitress recognized the cheesesteak wasn 't American but provolone before she hit the table and took it back. The wife 's Burge came some time later and it was pink inside. Not even close to burnt let alone well done. My cheesesteak comes back out with orange cheese laid on top of an attempt to remove traces of provolone. It was a fiasco and I nor my family will return or order again from this place. It appears to be a much better bar than an eatery. Screwing up one order is to be expected on occasion. But this was clearly cook that has no clue why he has a job.

Wide variety of people in here. Would help to have another bartender. This place was slammed on Saturday. A little too dark in here at night. Need some light.

Great people. Warm service. Decent bar food. Great trivia host.

Small town bar environment. Center bar with seats on the side. Service was very good and food was satisfying. I'll go back again. Plenty of parking, and it was not very crowded when I was in there.
