Ej's Provision Co - Laurel

The restaurant itself was nice and the atmosphere was laid back. The food wasn’t that great to me and the waitress left our table for long periods of time. Overall I’d go back again but it wouldn’t be a top choice on my list of places to frequent.

My husband and I took this opportunity to sneak in a date while our children enjoyed their Middle school’s Valentine’s Day dance. We would’ve gone to BJ’s brew house, but hubby found this gem located 3 minutes from the children’s school and we liked the menu, so we booked a reservation. We walked in and were instantly happy with our decision. The service was good, the server was patient and the food was exceptional! I had the crab dip and OMGoodness was it amazing! The fried founder was off the charts too, my husband said his steak was one of the best he’d ever had and he crab was full of lump crab meat! We’ll definitely be back.

We went to EJ's twice in 3 days, so this review will be for both. Deidra was our excellent waitress! Between 3 of us we had the very good and spicy crab cake as well as fish and chips. Also, excellent homemade potato chips. The first night we ordered a dozen oysters which were delicious. We were so glad to be able to walk from the DoubleTree straight into EJ's. A big bonus. And lest I forget, there was a nice selection of local brews on draft. My kind of place.

The server was timely, personable and knew the menu. The manager was cordial and helpful. The food was over priced, with small portions. Out of 6 meals ordered 2 were received well, specifically the mussels and my sons linguine and clams. Everything else was way too salty, and lukewarm. All in all a dismal failure that I will not ever repeat again.

Third time here... your Cioppino keeps me coming back! I have had this same dish every time because I love your version so much! It is a bit pricier than some I have had elsewhere, but it’s absolutely delicious and a very generous pot portion! Also the large baguette that comes with it is perfect for soaking up the zesty broth- so don’t mind paying the price. My husband is a big fan of linguini with white clam sauce,so decided to try yours...but thought it was too buttery or bland, and no Italian cheese on it or offered. All in all, we like your casual atmosphere and offerings and will come back again.
