Yuck. The turkey leg had some strange Smokey taste. We had to throw them out. They were that bad. Never again.

Lures is a favorite for friends of ours who live out there. It’s one of the closest places to the fair too.

There’s a stand that does hand pies that I like — I think they have a soinach one. My daughter likes the Mac and cheese on a stick. There’s ton of restaurants near Westfield mall Annapolis which is not far away. I like this Italian place:

The food was awful! The turkey leg was terrible. Eat elsewhere.

Yes, the website says to pay in cash for food and activities.

I love the turkey leg - can't finish it all, though. My son, ever the contrary eater, bypassed all the heart attack foods and desserts on a stick to get... a *fruit bowl*. Which looked pretty good, actually. My daughter had a steak sandwich and a snow cone. My friend had a savory vegetarian crepe. I was nearly tempted by the apple dumplings but the length of the line made me resist

It's all good, OP. You'll find something.

Here’s what: it’s one meal of your life. Eat a big breakfast or lunch, depending on when you plan to go, and get a snack or two.

Crab pretzel, fried pickles, Scottish egg, cheesecake on a stick, turkey legs, big pickles, fried mac and cheese, frozen lemonade, it’s all meant to be fun, indulgent food. Don’t be precious.

thank you! Appreciate the cash tip, too.

There is a restaurant nearby that was frequented by Johnny Unitas (football player) back in the day that's popular... but of cours eI can't seem to remember the name (old age!). Ate there a year ago and it was quite popular with locals and good food.

Oh, and to answer your Q, the turkey legs in my opinion are tough, high in sodium and not the best option when there are other good foods. But good to do once if only for a photo op! A lot of people seem to like the scotch eggs but they are not my thing.

Is there any food/drink that's good at the MD Renaissance festival, or is it mostly just standard fair food repackaged as "ye olde frozen fried and reheated fare"?

I know about the turkey legs (are these actually tasty?) but we'll have a few vegetarians in the group. Anything good in the gates or nearby if we decide to leave to eat?
