Restaurants in Ellicott City

“Omg there is another location closer to my home. Awww shux. There is one near work and now I find one mear home. I love the food and family atmosphere of this restaurant. Hands up a family and work favorite. See you soon...”

“Beautiful day to sit outside and catch up with a friend. The food was great but our server Lizz G was amazing. So kind and helpful. She asked about allergies as soon as we sat down and checked on us several times through the meal. The manager also checked on us and he was very kind.”

“Wow. Incredible meal and wine. Excellent service”

“Ran by the nicest people, lovely atmosphere (especially at the slower hours), delicious pastries, and a wonderful drink selection. It's a must visit for us every time we're in Ellicott!”

“The food I ordered was delivered on time! It's great, fresh and delicious, I was not disappointed when I chose this place.”

“Excellent food, fresh and beautifully presented; outstanding attentive service.”

“The Beef Malatang dish was so satisfying meal. it's very well mixed flavor is still in my mind.I'm looking for the next visit to test others as soon as possible. Pepper flavor is one of the best that it can be.”

“❤️ love this place. Great boba and atmosphere!”

“Their soup dumplings are to die for! Braised beef noodles are pretty good too! Will be returning to try their other items on the menu.”

“This is such a wonderfully curated spot. The pastries are very high quality, the coffee strong and smooth. I love the very clean and carefully designed self-serve cabinets. Highly recommend.”

“Best Reubens ever! The bartender handled everyone alone she was awesome”

“We were in the area for the HP festival. It was very busy but they did Ana amazing job. Food was delicious, drinks were amazing!”

“We had a small wedding party catered with Ed’s wonderful chicken and plantains. Everything was delicious. The chicken is so tender and juicy. I definitely recommend this restaurant!!”

“Sarah made a half sheet cake for my son’s graduation party and it was ABSOLUTELY delicious! We ordered a lemon cake with raspberry filling and a buttercream icing and everyone at the party LOVED it! I gave her free reign on the decorations and she did a great job, especially free handing the college mascot. Sarah was very easy to reach, worked with my tight schedule and the price was very reasonable. I HIGHLY recommend Plant Baked by Sarah! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Fantastic food and great prices! The restaurant is clean, and the staff are friendly! My only wish is the veggie burger could have been homemade patty instead of the "Beyond Meat" patty they use. Solid 4.5 star!”

“Food was delicious but very pricey for what is served. Decent service, but not stellar. Thinks it's a high class place, but acts like a college student with champagne tastes on a beer budget.”

“Wonderful experience. We loved our waiter, Gabe. My husband and I made reservations for our anniversary. He told us congratulations and offered us each a complimentary glass of champagne right off the bat. We soon had warm bread brought to our table and then we ordered cocktails and two appetizers. All delicious. Baked brie was phenomenal. My husband had the filet mignon & I ordered a ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection. After we were nearly stuffed, Gabe offered us a complimentary dessert to share. Overall an amazing experience. Cozy atmosphere. Excellent service and the food came out quickly. Highly recommend this place. We will be back!”

“Great food and local beers, a perfect stop for a rainy day lunch. Helpful and attentive staff, a great place overall, it's a top favorite for us in Ellicott City.”

“Crab cake no good. Tastes like fish and has lots of fillers! The service was good and other food was good too. Salad, fries and asparagus. I will never get another crab cake here though.”

“I've ordered a different item from the menu each time and have never been disappointed! Mi Casa is quickly becoming one of our regular spots!”

“Great location, great beer!”

“We have been to Uma Uma 3 or 4 times but we live in Florida so we don’t come nearly as often as we like. Always have fantastic service, delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend!”

“The black chili was delicious as was the brussel sprout salad. Service was great, always has been, for us.”

“The tea was excellent I purchased T1 and T8”

“Fun type Mexican style cantina/restaurant.”

“Our team couldn’t be more happy with the food. We ordered From Nora’s catering menu for our team of 40 not only did everyone get to eat there was plenty enough for seconds for everyone!! If your looking to great catering this is the place not only where they responsive but also quick with their delivery!! Thank you again!!”

“originally went to Asian bistro to find dinning room was closed and was very happy because this place was fresh and wonderful. a new great fin6”

“The manager, Jeet, was kind and our server, Caesar was very accommodating. Great place to dine with family, friends, or your colleagues, and the food was AMAZING!!”

“I have been coming here for years, they are fantastic people and even more fantastic cooks. It’s comfort food when you’re not feeling well, It’s a family meal after a busy workday, and it’s even more special when it’s the only safe food during a tricky pregnancy. I love this place with all my heart and hope for many many more years of enjoying their food. Thanks for making me feel like a part of the family ❤️”

“Looking for dairy-free gluten-free pizza led us to UNO's but our outstanding server led us to just the right pizza. My friend's gluten-free crust was the best she'd had (light, crispy, chewy) and the vegan cheese was melty, gooey, and very tasty. She even caught a kitchen mistake when our (shared) salad was accidentally made with regular cheese and had them redo it! Entire experience was a delight!”

“This is our favorite DD...and we have been to a lot of them! Unlike a lot of other Dunkin's, they generally always have everything that is advertised on their menu and they actually know how to make it all exceptionally well. In addition we love the fact that this Dunkin' has Baskin-Robbins ice cream and treats.Plus the owner(s) and staff here are friendly and efficient in preparing your order readily. I look forward to seeing their familiar, pleasant faces.The eating area and their restrooms are also kept very clean and tidy. This, sadly, can not be said of a few other Dunkin's in our area. So we are grateful for that. Clearly this management have pride in their restaurant and value their customers.”

“It's another McDonald's. But this location is the best if you're In laurel. Always hot, they get the lines down fast, and their ice cream machine always works. (Which even if you're not into the Ice cream;-- speaks volumes)”

“Most of the bad reviews here mention the staff and yeah, they aren’t super in-your-face friendly. But I come here frequently and many of the staff recognize me now; they’ll joke with me when I order something different from my usual, they’ve given me free donuts, and maybe most importantly, they always have everything on the menu. There is another local BR/DD that is a complete nightmare compared to this place (I’ll write a separate review of them). All I’ve gotta say is, western expectations that customer service means that they’ll get their butts kissed is overrated. Well-run and efficient goes a long way with me.”

“This place has AMAZING food. You can tell the chef is really talented. The staff are wonderful, and eating here is really an experience.”

“A great business should definitely come and try these amazing deliciousness with great service. Remember, lemon chicken is just amazing. And then comes the Nashville chicken. Do not forget everything is Halal in this place.”

“Ginormous sandwiches, nothing fancy, limited selection of lunch meats, very fresh and inexpensive. Only negative is that the only worker is the owner, so if you're in a hurry, this is not the place for you. Also, it's cash only. One day I'll try the hand-made milkshakes. Take out only.”

“Everything about our visit was wonderful. The customer service was excellent and the food was outstanding. The food at this location far exceeds that of any other Mission location that we have visited. On top of it all, we were treated to sweet potato pie, which is among the tastiest ever. For us, the 20 mile trip to Ellicott City is well worth it, despite passing other locations along the way.”

“Everything was great! I got a pour over coffee and a California depress sandwich and everything was tasty :) workers were nice as well!

Parking: Parking lot on a saturday morning was chill :)”

“Amazing as always. Highly recommend this cute little coffee shop. We spent a lot of mornings here over the past few years and always seem to find our way back. Customer service here is top notch and the food is always soooo tasty.”

“My wife and I had the pleasure of dining there for breakfast this morning (5/11/24), and meeting with Paula the owner.We wanted to share with you that the breakfast was very enjoyable, and environment relaxing and inviting.-I had The Cure and my wife had your poached egg healthy bowl. All of which was exceptional. Little one had sausage, potatoes, and your Lemon Slush.We wish you great success and thank you again for coming to our table to meet us. Looking forward to visiting your establishment again soon.Best regards-Dan and Shawna

Kid-friendliness: Owner Paula personally engaged with our soon and sent a cookie to the table just for him. Very kind..”

“After several visits of this place, we can say that we Love Love their kabobs: beef, lamb, cow throat, heart, liver, chives, mushrooms…etc , all super tasty. The wagyu kabob is $10 per piece.Their dumplings are so-so, sometimes came with half of the wraps broke. Don’t recommend. But chicken pot stickers are good.More dishes added to their recent menu, definitely check them out.Inside of The restaurant looks clean and service has been pretty good. Do recommend by @winedinenvacay”

“Love getting take out from here and did dine for the first time. I recommend the dan dan noodles, kung pao chicken and dumplings. Everything we have tried is delicious!”

“Everything at this place is recommended!”

“Love this place. Great environment and great food. Customer Service was amazing.They do an amazing job of running the place efficiently. Food came out quick and it was really delicious.”

“We love this place and take all of our out of town guests there, not to mention eating there every few weeks ourselves. The fried chicken is spot on!

Vegetarian options: Owner is vegetarian”

“Soft stuff somehow makes a simple ice cream experience extremely rememberable. Great ice cream, but better people. The staff/ service was exceptional and friendly. This place truly is a fantastic family run business. Can’t wait to come back. Couldn’t recommend any more.”

“The staff is so pleasant and attentive! We were welcomed with smiles and warmth. Food was amazing the coffee flight was great as well!! All the pastries and baked goods were amazing as well! We will def return!”

“The Judge's Bench is a nice little dive bar that also has a "cocktail club" on the third floor. If you're looking for a little more upscale experience, or perhaps a more intimate experience, this is a nice place to try. It's a bit expensive and the service was a bit slow, but the ambiance was really great. Mood lighting all around, and at the right time some live music playing. Great for a date night or just a little treat with friends or family.”

“We were in town for a soccer tournament and decided to eat here. Darlene made us her special spicy sauce which was delicious with onion rings and fries. My son got a oreo milkshake that was topped with an ice cream sandwich and cookies. Great diner and we will definitely come back!”

“I like the Cajun chicken sandwich. Before that, it was the Black and Bleu. Too bad these are temporary menu items. Several standard menu options are good also. Consistently good quality and fast service. Slightly higher than average cost is worth it, when you're seeking a little more enjoyment / class than usual in a relatively quick fuel fix.”

“Great Dunkin’ Donuts. The employees are very kind and helpful.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options here and they are clearly labeled on the menu.

Parking: Plenty of parking lot outside of Dunkin’ Donuts!

Kid-friendliness: My kids love it here!”

“I am not a fan favorite of checkers but the objectively their service is always great. The staff are consistently kind and are there to help with any needs/requests. The tables outside are also consistently clean.”

“I was there at approximately 10/10:30 Saturday morning on 1/13/24 the girl at the drive thru perfect so nice friendly and a great smile Unfortunately I live in the rotten city of Baltimore I had occasion to be in this area and I’m glad I ”

“This burger king and it's bacon king has never failed me. Service leaves something to be desired and customer service could be taken up a notch but oh well!

Vegetarian options: My vegetarian cousin goes feral for the impossible whopper.”

“I come here more times than I'd like to admit a week. Service has always been fast and friendly. The food has always been fresh and hot. Not matter what time a day I've came here. Does matter if it's dine in or drive thru. The Service has always been great!”

“To be honest, I don't know how to respond to this FF place. Sometimes, they are on the ball, and the food is ready almost immediately. Other times when you think that they should be fast, you have a five to ten minute wait. Foods ok, Like all fast food places, it fills a spot for a little whil, however when items get to over $10 I would rather go to all you can eat Golden Corral and for $10 $15 a head you can literally turn yourself into the Michlin man...”

“It was my first visit. I'll definitely be back. I had some type of spinach detox smoothie and the jerk chicken wrap... Excellent!”

“I went for the first time over the weekend. The place was so clean and the employees were very friendly! I loved the options that I got to pick from that day! The store is great and I will be going back as soon as possible!”

“Terrific new local small business in OEC making great Vodka and Gin!! This is run by a great friend of mine and will be a terrific addition to OEC.”

“Everything was so great,me and my family love the Trolley Stop.We always go there while we are in town.

Parking: Not sure ?

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.”

“Great service and best boba around.”

“One of my favorite family owned Korean restaurants in the area!! This is our go-to place for kimbap takeout - simple, delicious, huge portions, and so damn affordable. We go for beef and tuna, but the veggie and kimchi ones are great for vegetarians. Also a big fan of their simple kimchi fried rice.”

“Second time trying Ethiopian food and Tigi's did not disappoint. The food was fresh, tasty, delicious, and filling. Two of us splot a combo and we had plenty of food. We ordered coffee and were pleasantly surprised with the elaborate presentation. The host showed us the roasting coffee beans and it was a great cup. Google says they open at 11AM, but that might just he market opening time. For the kitchen, i would wait till after 11:30 or even noon. The service was excellent!”

“Great spot for a sandwich. You can tell the owner cares about the experience. Great attention to detail. I enjoyed the craft soda machine as-well. Would recommend!”

“I love coming here! The people are always so nice. I love the Bulgogi and rice. The Bulgogi Bibimbap is also very yummy! They have items you can buy in the store thats also very yummy! Prices for food is very reasonable. <3”

“This is my favorite breakfast food hamburger place. The burgers are delicious no filler I love how the fries and burgers are made fresh to order. One of my favorite things is that you can pick as many toppings as you want with no increase in price I highly recommend five guys! The fries are amazing but I usually don't order them because even a small order is way too big.”

“Love this place for the milkshakes! I usually get their seasonal ones, which have been very good. I got the cookie dough one this last time, and my friend got the reeses pieces one, which looked amazing. However. We did try the cobbler this time which was incredibly disappointing especially since it cost $9. I won't waste my money on that again.”

“Very lovely experience here! I was able to pick up a cake for my friend and the staff was very patient and helpful. They answered any questions I had. We all really enjoyed the cake and have plans to come back and try the mocha flavor cake some time. The store is very clean and easy to get to as well.”

“awesome boba tea..warm vibes”

“Nice place to stop for Italian ice or custard. There are a lot of different flavors for Italian ice and your standard vanilla, twist, and chocolate for custard. Occasionally they will have another flavor of custard. They also have kids sizes, which is not on the menu. The portions are huge, even with a kids size.Can get very crowded but the staff works well to get the line moving.Plenty of parking. And easy to get in and out of the parking lotThere are several tables and benches behind the building as well.

Dietary restrictions: There are sugar free options

Parking: Tons of parking!

Kid-friendliness: Kids sizes available, just ask. The kids love playing in the back area with other kids”

“I think I just found my new favorite chicken place! Tender pieces made for eating on the go, just like at a street market. Pleasantly salty, and perfectly spicy. Their fries are very tasty as well. The price is very reasonable and a great value. Honestly, one order of chicken is enough for two people to split, but you'll be fighting for that last morsel! I highly recommend Jumbo Jumbo!”

“Best vege pizza I've ever had! Jeani Burns”

“I stopped by for a quick lunch on sunday. Was in and out in less than 40 minutes. Asia was my server, very friendly and made sure I was taken care of quickly. The new Champagne Shrimp option was extra good that day.”

“This is my new favorite place to eat in Ellicott City! First of all the food is incredible. The garlic sauce we ordered as an appetizer alone would have satisfied me but the food just keep getting better. So fresh and so flavorful!! The owner introduced himself and made us feel so welcome. Their story is incredible! The ambiance was absolutely lovely. They had live musicians who were extremely talented and added a tone that was fun and enjoyable but not at all overwhelming or too loud. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend enough! We will definitely be going back very soon!”

“Omg there is another location closer to my home. Awww shux. There is one near work and now I find one mear home. I love the food and family atmosphere of this restaurant. Hands up a family and work favorite. See you soon...”

“We stopped going to Outback because of having so many bad experiences (Laurel MD-is the worst) there. We went to Outback in Ellicott City for a Birthday. We were all astounded by the perfect service (Thank You, Krystal) and excellent quality of food (Thank you Kitchen and Food Runners)! Thank you, Ellicott City Outback, for renewing our love for Outback’s menu!”

“Fantastic food and great prices! The restaurant is clean, and the staff are friendly! My only wish is the veggie burger could have been homemade patty instead of the "Beyond Meat" patty they use. Solid 4.5 star!”

“A great business should definitely come and try these amazing deliciousness with great service. Remember, lemon chicken is just amazing. And then comes the Nashville chicken. Do not forget everything is Halal in this place.”

“My only issue with this place was the waiter and the time it took to get me and my party food. We had dinner reservations at 7p.m. and after 25-30 minutes i had to go in and ask the receptionist to see who was the waiter for our table because no one has been to our table.. it took also 30-40 mins for us to receive our food and another 20 mins to receive our dessert. We didn't leave the restaurant until almost 10p.m. which is ridiculous. The waiter was a little snippy at the mouth and could have been a little more professional. Yes, i would come back to this place as it part of the Spa package deal that is associated with the resort.. the food was very delicious and very beautiful place.”

“Everything was great! I got a pour over coffee and a California depress sandwich and everything was tasty :) workers were nice as well!

Parking: Parking lot on a saturday morning was chill :)”

“This place has AMAZING food. You can tell the chef is really talented. The staff are wonderful, and eating here is really an experience.”

“Friendly, speedy service, fresh, delish food, clean, bright dining area! Try the chicken Al Pastor, it's delish.

Vegetarian options: The sofritas are super delish!”

“it was my husband and I first time and everything was amazing. to the time we walked in until the time we walked out thank you so much will definitely come back ☺️❤️”
