If your looking to have Some beers and watch a game this place is great ( as long as you can wait for a refill...) other than that the food is sub par and lacks consistency. You can order a mr burger but expect it to be over cooked, the food is greasy and undesirable.

My family went here the other day after house hunting on the Eastern Shore Maryland. My wife, previously a resident of Kent Island was formerly familiar with this place. We went late afternoon, around 2PM or so, and had our 3yr old boy and 15 mo old little girl so we weren't going for the bar. We sat down and of course little man has to "go potty" so I take him to the bathroom. The bathrooms were in decent shape. Not messy but not impressively clean either. 2.5 our of 5 for the bathroom. We sat in the restaurant part and I was able to watch the O's game while eating. The table was a bit rough. It was clean, but a bit ratty. They have baseball cards under laminate which is cool, but a lot of the table was cracked and old. Fix your tables, 2.5 out of 5 for the dining area. The kids just had hotdogs they were boiled and seemed fine, but my wife had the Southwest Burger and I had the buffalo chicken sandwich. The food came out fast and hot. I was actually impressed with my chicken sandwich. I've ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich in many different places and this was the best I've ever had. It was served on a roll with what I think was cheddar cheese melted on top, the buffalo sauce was great and the chicken breast was just the right size. My wife said she enjoyed her burger very much as well. Keeping in mind that this is a sports bar and not Ruth's Chris steak house, the food was great. 4.5 out of 5. Our waitress was very nice. She checked on us just the right amount of time. She had the knowledge to bring out the kids hotdogs first without us asking her to do so. All the staff seemed very nice as well. 4.5 out of 5 for service. We will definitely go back. I was surprised to read the negative feedback after going here. I suppose it's hard to make everyone happy. 4 out of 5 over all.

Good burgers, and great atmosphere. A very family friendly establishment. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a nice place to eat nice simple foods.

I ate here a few weeks ago with a friend. We seated ourselves, even though there was a sign that said "Please wait to be seated". I have a feeling we would have been waiting awhile. The dining area is separate from the bar, but there is an open window between areas, which means it can get pretty loud in the dining area. The waitress was prompt, friendly and efficient. We ordered the nachos for an app and they were very good. I ordered the cheese steak, which I couldn't eat because I had too many nachos. I took a few bites and it seemed ok. The fries were good too.

Excellent service! Kerry was phenomenal - she recommended the nachos and the waffle sundae and both were amazing! I would definitely drive back over the bay bridge just to have Kerry serve us drinks and foods at big bats. We had a wonderful time! We definitely will be back soon!

Do not order the fish and chips. Under seasoned and under cooked. Bought from CISCO and dump in the deep fryer. Grandkids liked their dinners. Chip need seasoning. Not the worst, but not the best.

Big Bats used to be a top spot in the area, had a niche, Sports Bar, good prices, food etc... that was 5 years ago. Big Bats has been on a slow decline for years, they now have it where if you order a burger, you get: Plate, Bun, Burger. Thats it, no toppings, unless asked, no fries. Fries are $2.50 for an order The food is subpar at best. RIP Big Bats.

I'm not sure why this place is getting such mixed reviews. I've been here 3-4 times in the last couple months and never had any issues with food or service. Given, I've only been during lunch time, maybe the neg reviews are for dinner experience?? For me, the staff has always been friendly, food comes out within a reasonable amount of time, and it tastes ok.

My coworkers used to go here all the time. I went a few times. You know how when you're young you're told that if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all? I'll shut up now.

I like this place. Friendly staff and tons of locals make it a fun hang out. Love the outdoor space in the summer and Karaoke is always a hit.

Hit or miss. Carry out gets orders wrong/incomplete, even when taken back and re-ordered. Good neighborhood atmosphere.

We have ordered carry-out twice in the last two months and the food has been delicious. We ordered the shrimp fajitas, bacon cheddar burgers and crab dip. All very good and the service efficient.

Loved having it with my mom growing up! Good wings:) Warm atmosphere.. somewhat of a "locals" restaurant. Haven't been there in a while but I don't know why it isn't rated higher.

As a die-hard Orioles fan, I love the baseball-theme, and the fact that the bar is packed with orange-and-black during ballgames, even weeknights. The stools at the bar are made from Louisville Sluggers, and they have some good beers on tap, and prices are pretty reasonable. I would give the bar three stars, although they only had two bartenders on staff for a packed house, and it took over 10 minutes just to get a draft beer. The wings are pretty good, I've had the Chesapeake Rub and the buffalo-style, and they were piping hot and tasty, but a little too dry. I tried to order a special, only to find out later they were sold out. I ordered off the menu, then found out about 10 minutes later they were out of that too. I eventually said, "What do you have?" I ended up with a buffalo chicken sandwich. Review? The same thing said about the wings could be said about the sandwich. I was really disappointed by the food, because I think that the idea of a local baseball bar is cool, and the memorabilia is fun.

Decent bar food. Service has been ok prior to incident. We had a very horrible take-out experience and the manager Peggy called us liars on the phone when we called about the mold in bun (at first we had only called to warn them about the moldy cheeseburger bun, but when she insisted that it was impossible, we wanted a refund). Peggy wouldn't refund the cost of the kids meal unless we drove all the way back to provide proof It was about 2 years before we ate there again and we inspect the food there every time before biting in and only go reluctantly with a group.

Big Bats is a basic sports bar. Plenty of TVs to watch games on. The food is decent but I just can't bring myself to eat here again after I got sick on their wings a few months ago.
