Victoria Gastro Pub

Rated by Baltimore Magazine as the “Best 'Burbs Bar” and a “Brunch Hot Spot”, this is an inviting Pub that will surprise you from the moment you walk through the revolving door. The international cuisine is filled with Chef Joe Krywucki’s twists on classic pub fare. From simple favorites like the Kobe Burger, Lobster Grilled Cheese or the Fish & Chips, to fresh, flavorful entrees that change seasonally, this is a casual Pub that takes its food very seriously. The food is complemented by an international beer list of 24 draughts and over 200 bottles, a focused yet eclectic wine list, fun seasonal cocktails, and a full bar. The warm, inviting dining rooms are filled with antique touches that add to the unique feel. The Peruvian Walnut lined Pub Area is seated on a first-come, first serve basis. All this forms Howard County’s first Gastro Pub!

"The food rates a great to outstanding. I had the trout and it was very flavorful. The beer list is amazing. I have had the same wait person several times and find them adequate but not exceeding my expectations."

"I ordered the Lobster and Grits ( the most expensive menu item) for Mothers Day brunch. A large plate with a thin layer of broth with a few bits of Lobster and mushrooms and two tablespoons of grits arrived. I had to ask my wife if I ordered off the appetizer menu. I was done in no time, and then I had to go to McDonalds for lunch. It would have been nice if our waited had warned me about the skimpy portions. Another lesson learned, go to a pub, get the burger."

"I had dinner with some of my close friends at this restaurant/pub. The food was great from usual bar food to full dinner options. There was beer from several countries and several american microbreweries. It was somewhat pricey though for special occasions this place will hit the spot. The service was great. Can't wait to go back."

"The food was fine, the beer selection was very good but the hostess needs to learn how to seat people. We had a reservation for 4 people at 4PM on a Sunday.The restaurant was practically empty. We were shown to a table right next to a large table with several young children. We asked to be seated somewhere else so she showed us to another table squeezed in between a 4 top and a large table with approximately 10 people celebrating a birthday.Very stupid when all other tables in the room were empty. We actually got up and reseated ourselves at a very nice table in the corner. Don't these hostesses think? Why when the restaurant is practically empty give the worst table to the first guests to arrive? That's our memory of the restaurant."

"The menu and drink list are very VERY well built. But because of the location, Columbia, everything is premium. You can get the same beer 20 min away for 40% less. That being said, Victoria's is very nice and the poutine is lovely! addicting would be a good word. If a premium dining experience, nice decor and a fantastic beer selection (for its size) are your thing, give Victoria's a shot."

"Whenever in the Columbia area I gravitate to this resteraunt/bar as recommended by my hotel. I have never had a bad meal or time. Traveling for business, it is not always fun eating alone, but sitting at this bar, the bartendars and other patrons are typically very friendly. I enjoyed my meal and drinks (happy hour half price Tuesday martini and good wine special). Not truly a martini type of person but the friendly company around me certainly was so I had a Victoria (Cucumber gin and muddled cucumber, et al.). Had an enjoybale time and the free appetizers passed around mad eme want to come back and order them next time. Duck fat fires & stuffed mushrooms, wow! Shared the mussels with a another guest and enjoyed the duck! Love this palce!"

"Our first experience at Victoria's is our last. The service was poor to fair, took 10 min to get a drink at the bar after we arrived. I made reservations several weeks in advance, and got stuck in a corner by the kitchen, in a room with NO ambiance compared to the rest of the restaurant. The food was average, it was described on the menu much better than it tasted. One of our menus was missing a complete menu item. Disappointed, won't recommend nor return."

"Unfortunately I'm trying to lose weight so there are normally no good food options here, especially if I'd like an alcoholic beverage. (I love their Hollywood martinis when they're available.) But their fish entree this time was a delicious grilled rainbow trout with asparagus and yukon potatoes. My husband enjoyed his crab cake sandwich and as usual found a couple of beers that he really wanted to try for his beer club membership. VGP is great and if they offered some healthy alternatives, we'd be there much more often."

"I had only been once before, meeting a friend for beers, duck fat fries, and appetizers. We actually dined this time and had nice meal with friends. The bar is a more interesting place - aesthetically and socially than the dining rooms as it feels more like a pub in the British tradition. The rest of the area...not so much. The food was very good: I had the French Dip (although a little on the stingy side); two burgers at the table and one Rainbow trout special. The duck fat fries here are stellar and a must do with one of the pubs many selections of ales. I think if I go back it will be for the bar, the beers, the fries and the decent selection of apps. However, VGP is a nice place for any dining occasion."

"We ate here for Easter Brunch. Though we had a reservation, we were given a pretty lousy table right in the middle of all the foot traffic. We contemplated asking to be moved, but seeing as it was Easter,chose not to fuss. The whole experience was average, not great but not horrible either. Food was good but barely warm when it arrived as if it had been waiting for us in the kitchen. The expediter who delivered our meal asked if anyone needed pepper. Two of us said yes and then sat and watched as he never returned but continued to walk right passed our table multiple times. We finally flagged down our server (a really nice guy), but by then, our meals were lukewarm."

"Usually we have a great dinning experience at VGP but this time the sat to many groups in the same section at the same time. This caused erratic service at best. The waiter while trying his best kept asking one of us what we wanted (drinks appt etc...) but forgot to ask the other and would run off with only half our order. He would then have to go get the other part of our meal. It seemed he was flustered and trying to move quickly but missing orders. This combined with to many guests being sat at the same section at the same time ended up causing a slower than usual service at VGP. The food was good. We ordered simple tonight not opting for specials and the food was great as is the norm. We will dine here again it is a great spot."

"We had an early dinner and had time to sample from the great beer selection. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. We were seated in a room with no one else and would have liked to have been in the bar area but it was full."

"In a town full of chain restaurants, Victoria Gastro Pub is unique, has delicious food, amazing cocktails, and a huge list of beers on tap. Great for big groups, a romantic evening, or just late-night food and cocktails. One of the best restaurants in Howard County!"

"Victoria's is one of my favorite places to eat. I recently met my family there, with two kids under 13. When we walked in the bar was loud and busy, but when the waitress took us to the other side of the restaurant, the noise level was low-moderate. The place is surprisingly kid friendly for the sophistication and energy it has. They do have a kids menu, and will seat you far away from the bar. However, they did not have any crayons/paper for them to draw on. This is one thing I would change. Also, the drink list is unique and quite impressive. For non drinkers they have great peach iced-tea. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART, the food is delicious. I highly suggest one of the Wagyu burgers with duck fat fries or the lobster grilled cheese."

"It was a wonderful evening out with friends. The goal was to find some good martinis and Victoria's fit the bill very well. My husband and I are on a paleo diet, so the food choices were a bit restrictive, but Victoria's menu has never been very large. I ended up with a hamburger (no bun) which was cooked perfectly, substituting vegetables for fries was not a problem at all."

"Enjoyed St. Patrick's Day with my grandmother, mother, sister and two aunts at Victoria's. Reservation was for 5pm but we arrived 15 minutes early and were seated right away. The entire staff were friendly and outgoing. The food was wonderful and the desserts were incredible. Everyone had a marvolous time. We would definitely recommend it."

"Maybe it was an off night, but I cant understand why this place is constantly booked. The beer wine list is exceptional and the food was decent. The decor seems outdated, dingy and old. The server was rude not only once but three times in a row...he hit a homerun...not worth the wait to get into this place...wont be back."

"I'd been reading about the place in local magazines. It seems unlikely to have great food in a corner lot next to a McDonald's but the place was packed, the good and service were excellent and it lived up to all the reviews I read. Burgers and pork tenderloin were delicious and perfectly cooked to order."

"If you can handle the difficulties with parking on busy nights, this place is definitely worth the hassle. Definitely make reservations (suggested for both brunch and dinner). Very energetic atmosphere, so if you are looking for a quiet romantic dinner, this probably isn't the place (unless you go on an "off" night). But its a fantastic spot for a ladies night, or a fun date (or double date) night. 1/2 price wine on Thursdays is awesome, but expect a crowd at the bar and definitely make a reservation for a table. Prices for food are really reasonable for what you get. Servers are very nice and professional and knowledgeable."

"The food was great. We started with a fried chicken appetizer which was shared by 3 and each gave it rave reviews. We each tried a different entree, pork,pasta,fish and chips and a sandwich with duck fat fries. Each was delicious and nicely presented. Dessert was apple dumpling and was excellent."
