“The servers are fantastic 👏 They are friendly and very attentive! Green beans are just like my grandmother used to make, yummy and delicious. Consistency- We have never had a bad meal since we found Willy's during the pandemic.“

“Excellent dining experience once again! Our first time there was about a month ago and when our waitress walked by she recognized us! Very impressive ?she said she's a school teacher and is used to memorizing so many names and faces. I forgot her name but she's a very nice person! We came in for our wedding anniversary last evening. Caroline I believe het name was took cgood care of us. She was very sweet, professional and attentive! The food was excellent. My husband had the salmon BLT which he enjoyed and I had the Bistro Steak Frites and it was perfect and delicious just as it was the last time! The gentleman who was assisting the staff ( either owner or mgr) very kindly came and replaced my dish with the correct one. Someone else had ordered it but to a different doneness. The entire staff was warm and friendly, from the servers to the mgr, owner, and hostesses. We will definitely be back and want to bring our friends whom we told about your restaurant. Keep up the great work, Ashling!“

“Food was good, not great, but awesome that the chicken was NOT dry!!! Really only complaint is that no one in our party could hear the spoken words during the show. We had 25yr & 50yr in our party, so mixed hearing capabilities. Just could not make out most of the words - we were in front row in the middle. We were able to follow along the acting, at least we think so lol. Great thing to see at least once.“

“My girlfriend and I were looking for a place to catch a particular sports game on a random weeknight. A big thanks to Antonio for his help in making it happen and his good service.“

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.“

“Great live music venue - lovely community!“

She was wonderful, kind, and gave great recommendations I had the salmon with rice...im eating the leftovers now and it's even better.. Great service, great staff, you won't be disappointed“

“cream of crab soup is outstanding..blackberry chipoltle wings fabulous. Blue cheese dippy is super yum. short rib appetizer delicious. Lemon drop martinis on point. We love it here.“

“I had a great breakfast at this dinner this morning. I dropped my wife off at the airport nearby, Google searched for a breakfast spot and found this place.
It has a pleasant, family style atmosphere, frequented by locals.
The service was welcoming and friendly.
My eggs, potatoes and sausage breakfast was excellent.
Thank you Linthicum Luncheteria!“

“We enjoyed a lovely brunch here on a beautiful Fall day. We loved the historic building and the lovely treed grounds surrounding it. The food was outstanding and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend!“

“We recently celebrated my parents' 70th anniversary at Kings Contrivance Restaurant, and I can't express enough how wonderful the experience was. The entire evening was perfect, from the warm and inviting atmosphere to the impeccable service. Richard, in particular, was outstanding—he answered all of my questions and ensured that everything was just right for our family gathering. The food was outstanding—every dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, making our celebration even more special. My parents were thrilled to have the entire family together for this milestone event, and they couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful the restaurant was. If you're looking for a place to host a special occasion, I highly recommend Kings Contrivance Restaurant. It was the perfect setting for a memorable night that our family will cherish forever.“

“dennys is everyone’s favorite come see us and ask for me if i’m available 🥞❤️😎🍔“

“Great atmosphere and nice music!“

“Tasty food and great service. Highly-recommended.“

“I came here with my grandmother as a kid before the renovation, she would come for the card reader, I'd come for the trains outside. The new renovation is nice, just MISSING A TRAIN RUNNING AROUND THE CIELING, or something along those lines. (The owner can feel free to reach out to me to make that happen!!) It took me many years to come back and try this place again. I was probably 5-10 back then, I'm now 28 and frequently come here mainly for the bartender Kayla (amazing service and drink knowledge) and to watch the NASCAR races on Sundays! Os games and NASCAR races usually take over the sound system.

For me and my better half Jess, we keep coming back for Kayla's service. We haven't really experienced the other bartenders enough to honestly judge them, but there have been times we walk in and don't see Kayla and walk right back out the door. We both enjoy the simple food, burgers, GRILLED CHEESE... Zack and Sally throw down in the kitchen!! The pepper jack cheese balls are always a go to, especially on race days - THEY NEED THE CHEDDAR CHEESE BALLS THO!!! Bucket prices during Os, Ravens games and NASCAR races are the same as the happy hour prices. This is already a paragraph, so I'll end it here and update when needed! Come watch a NASCAR race with us on Sunday!“

“I went here with my fiancee during the weekend, and woweee. It was quite loud and lively during brunch time. The table next to us was *SO* loud. It was such a turn off because they were obviously done having food, and still spent their sweet time yelling over at each other, talking. Oh dear, it was a bit stressful during hunger pangs. I wanted to go home immediately, but that changed soon after we got our appetizer. 😅 Also, of note, several vegan items during brunch are unavailable during weekends and federal holidays. I didn't love that, considering it was my first time visiting their restaurant. So, just be cognizant of that. I really enjoyed the cauliflower bites, and my vegan "chicken" sandwich. Their home fries are marked vegan on the menu, so that was a nice surprise. With some bell peppers and a little bit of tomato sauce, it was a nice touch of zing. If I return to visit, I'll probably go during the week days. Updated from previous review on 2025-02-21“

“Love the atmosphere. The band was pretty good. Great food options and entertainment. Some of the menu items have nuts added which seem unnecessary. They should consider removing the nuts from the lobster dish.“

“We walked into a clean restaurant. Immediatky greeted and sat. Everyone was smiling. The server was very helpful and suggesred great options. Our food came on a robot followed by the manager herself. THE FOOD WAS PERFECT! the bathrooms were clean and we were very impressed!we will back often!“

“the people there were absolutely the nicest to our family. the food was magnificent!! thanks for a good experience!“

“I was supposed to take a photo for the sandwich that I ordered but it was yummy to that level where I couldn’t resist eating before remembering that I needed a photo to leave for this review but anyway, the place is great, the management and staff were decent and clean.
I loved their cheese and eggs sandwich specially knowing they do fry their eggs on spot.
If you are around BWI, you need to visit them and try their food.“

“It’s a chill place to be at this time a day the food is great anyone and everyone come to Ale House“

“Update: they got rid of the sweet and spicy shrimp noodles from the menu :/

I believe this is the best place to eat at Arundel Mills. The food is great, lot of alcohol selection, waiter adequately checks in (shout out to Shaun), and food comes out quick. The atmosphere is lively and works for formal or casual outings.

I ordered the sweet and spicy shrimp (only like 530 calories and 36g of protein). This definitely will be my go to dish from here now, got plenty of shrimp and it was well flavored.

The only negative thing was unable to order several items on the beer tap menu with waiter (couldn't find them) but everything else made up for it.

There's also likely to be a wait to sit down, so recommend calling ahead or joining their online wait-list.“

“Greetings people. I came to this restaurant on my recent trip to MD. Figured I had to eat crab cakes since I'm in the right area to do so, huh? Well they didn't disappoint!I got the Crab Cake Sammy w/a side of fried pickles to go. The Sammy was hot and delicate w/the crab being flakey and full of flavor. Accompanied w/a side of tartar (taboo?) for the occasional boost in texture/flavor made it a good choice. The fried pickles were a bit undercooked, one still having raw batter underneath. Might be because I arrived too quickly? Who knows, but that wasn't a huge deal for me. They had great flavor! Both the batter and the pickle.“

“The first time here, I went to see this awesome band Remedy. The atmosphere was so fun. I loved that the tables were not bunched, plenty of room. I had a Southwest Salad, one of the best I ever had. ? I will go back again just for that salad. I tried the pizza ? as well, very good. Check this place out..“

“Had the Cajun steak platter. Food was great, and although the menu showed it with mashed potatoes and broccoli the server said it only came with the potatoes. He brought us broccoli at our requests and it was good. The tortilla soup was also delicious.“

“Spurrier's Restaurant and Lounge has an incredible view and surroundings from both in and out. I just spent but a day there, and I had an incredible time. The surroundings were neat and there were ample parking lot. Staff were polite, professional, and helpful. They do sell snacks. A special occasion gave me the chance to visit and to explore what do they offer. You can book a reservation. Stairs and elevator are available but I prefer using my legs. You can't miss it. It's within the city, and businesses are all around. I didn't order any food from there, so I don't know how their food taste, but what I can say is that the occasion I was invited to, the food was great. The food is more traditional based on the event. But overall, the staff were excellent and they did their very best to get everyone situated and to feel at home. ?

Parking: Parking was free. There are ample parking lots. There are bins, recycle bins, stationed there for bottle glasses. For further questions, call the library. You can find their phone number at their website.?

Kid-friendliness: Yes, kids are always welcome with a parent or with a guardian.

Wheelchair accessibility: The sliding doors are automatic for wheelchair accessibility if using the library. However, the Trail is not ideal for wheelchair accessibility.“

“Ok, for the money, this was pretty decent. Pan seared salmon with rice and jullienned squash and peppers. Was not expecting this from a hotel restaurant. The house salad was a little bit over the top with arugella(not my favorite), but I powered thru. And, even though they were out of the Italian Montepulcino Catina Zaccaagnini red wine, I went with the Rum barrel Merlot. Pretty nice dinner for the money. Coming back tomorrow night to try something else on the menu.“

“Hubby and I enjoy the salads from here. They have standard salads but you can also customize them. As well, the employees who work there are always nice and helpful.“

“This is our 3rd Easter dining at seasons 52 and as always the food and service were amazing. The only complaint, and not even one really, is when I make the reservation on open table I always put in for a booth. I have an elderly father with back and hip issues and the chairs are very uncomfortable for him to sit too long. However we never get seated at a booth. I made this reservation 3 months ago so a booth seating really shouldn't have been an issue. Regardless we will be back again next Easter because like I said the food is outstanding and our server was wonderful.“

“The cheesesteak is the best I've had ...highly recommend trying!“

“Fast, Friendly and Delicious“

“Food never disappoints, the service is great, specials they have always are delicious! Great place :)“

“Very clean establishment. Excellent customer service and plenty of seating. Ordered the Koos Kickin Bourbon Burger combo minus the bacon, and it was delicious. Patties were well seasoned. Nice bun and fresh ingredients. The sauce was good. $20 is a little pricey for a burger combo, but everything costs too much now.“

“It was a very chilled experience. I enjoyed trying all the different food and even having the desserts. I would recommend this to anyone in the Virginia area to take some time and visit the area as well as trying the restaurant.“

“we were there today and spent more than two hours to be attended, and finally we left the place and nobody came to explain what was wrong, and the restaurant didn't was full of people , look like the management isn't able to run the place.“

“The food is always awesome whether you get pork, beef, or chicken. We also love the fries and corn on the cob as well as the bread pudding! Since our home is in Tennessee, I especially like the option to put slaw on my pork sandwich. The first time I had that was at a high school football game near Memphis and I was spoiled after that.“

“The staff here are very kind and seem to enjoy working with each other. It warms my heart to see. The atmosphere is quite nice if you're a fan of cafés. The food can be hit or miss sometimes, it's serviceable though. No real strong opinions of it. Some days you want seconds, some days you don't wanna finish the first. Overall, I really enjoy it.“

“First time dining there!! Food was great, all fresh, tasted good! Definitely will be back!!!! I got the chicken cheese steak deluxe... was well worth it!!!

Parking: Can be very challenging to find parking, especially during the lunch rush. Have patience, it's well worth it!“
