The Periodic Table: A Unique American Bar Experience in Columbia, MD

Had a great Saturday lunch outside on the patio. Loved that several tables were beneath the overhang to keep dry in case of rain. All of the food we ordered was delicious! My wife loved her burger, and my Korean BBQ sandwich was so tender that it melted in my mouth. It had lots of flavor but wasn't spicy at all if that's a concern. The fries that came with both sandwiches were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of addictive crunch. My toddler loved the chicken fingers, which also had the perfect amount of breading. We finished the meal with a yummy house-made chocolate torte that was coupled with vanilla gellato. We will definitely be visiting again!

Super tasty food. We got a NY strip steak, a beef pie, and chicken tenders (for our kid.) Everything was well seasoned, fresh, and hot. And the prices were not totally outrageous. Our waiter (Harry) was pretty nice and attentive. Unlike other reviewers, we didn't experience long wait periods -- probably because we went in the middle of the week for early dinner :) If you want to have a drink, don't miss their happy hour and the daily specials. They have a decent beer and wine selection. If you have kids, go on a Wednesday. On Weds, kids can get a free dish from the kids' menu if you get a $14+ entree.

This place seemed off the beaten path, wasn't crowded, and turned out to be pretty good. The menu had variety. I got a fried chicken sandwich and fries and it tasted great. Our server was polite and personable. The Periodic Table was a pretty chill place to enjoy a meal.

We visited The Periodical Table this past weekend. We had the pork belly entrée, and it was delicious. The pork belly was cooked perfectly, and the corn puree was a wonderful addition. We also had the boudin on a pretzel bun. The sausage had a ton of flavor, the peppers and onions were a perfect complement. We also had a fruit tart for dessert, and this was the one item that we did not enjoy. We would absolutely eat here again.

Had a mixed experience. Mostly good though. The service we had started off good but the waiter disappeared after serving our meal. I appreciate the owner and manager checking on our meal. When we pointed out that the meat in one of our dishes was over cooked - they were quick to replace it. The dishes were mostly good. The steak was the best dish on the table by far. The potato soup was also delicious .... salmon salad was a hit too, perfectly cooked fish, just needed some dressing on the salad. Wasn’t a fan of how the dinner specials were buried on the back of the cocktail menu and we had to ask the server about them The cocktails and beer selection looked good - we only had mock tails , which are a great touch , and were very tasty Hope to visit again

Came here for lunch on Saturday with a friend—no wait since we had made reservations in advance (it wasn’t busy either so there were plenty of available tables!). Our server Michelle was awesome, super friendly, helpful with recommendations and made some amazing cocktails! Food: The Wings (appetizer) were okay, not your typical wings, but the chicken meat is pulled out of the bone into a “lollipop” style—but I did not like any of the sauces that came with it (we tried all three: plum, fresno chili and yellow curry), and each additional sauce was a $0.75 charge. The Nashville Chicken Sandwich and the Salmon Salad were good, both relatively big portions too! The cocktail was my favorite part—there was a special: vodka with fresh watermelon juice that was so delicious and refreshing!! I loved it so much I had to order two!

We had a very pleasant mid-week lunch at restaurant. I had the fish-n-chips ($19.95) and my wife had the Cajun shrimp & Andouille pasta ($22.95). The serving sizes were generous, and the food was prepared quickly. We arrived early so the restaurant was not crowded. Our waiter was friendly and attentive.
