26 Best American Restaurants in Bel Air

“Went here for a family celebration and my husband and I couldn’t stop talking about the food on the way home. The 3 course meal + wine pairings was such a great value and I now know I need to have more Cabernet Sauvignon in my life. The truffle frites were some of the best I’ve ever had, actual truffles not just truffle oil. And the grilled Cesar salad, with the fried capers; will be doing that from now on! I loved everything I had, and everything that was shared between family. Would definitely recommend this place!“

“Lucky us…ventured off the highway and found this place..cafe, coffee shop and bistro (Pairings) all in one. Dan helped us and he was outstanding!…had the market breakfast burrito with their local salsa..a must try!…will definitely drop back on our next trip..“

“Good service and great food and drinks the food came out in a reasonable time and the waitress was knowledgeable about almost everything on the menu she gave suggestions and when we got our food it was great everything was fresh clean on point I definitely recommend getting the crab dip also.“

“A old friend and I had lunch there today, and it was great! The food was delicious and we had the best waiter… Troy…. We loved sitting in a sweet booth ! I highly recommend the fish and of course the Carrot cake dessert!“

“I recently hosted a surprise birthday party for my best friend at Silver Spring Mining Company, and I truly cannot say enough amazing things about our experience. From the very beginning, the entire team went above and beyond—but the real star of the show was the manager, Keith. He didn’t just help coordinate the event—he genuinely cared about making it special. He offered creative ideas like incorporating decorations and even setting up a slideshow, which made the night feel so personal and memorable. When I ran into technical issues with the slideshow (of course, right before the party!), Keith didn’t miss a beat—he went out of his way to find an outside tech person to help get everything up and running. That level of dedication is rare, and it meant the world to me. The food was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive. Everything came together perfectly, and my best friend was completely surprised—it was a night we’ll never forget. Thank you to Keith, Gary, and the entire team for making this celebration so special. I would 100% recommend them to anyone for both events and casual dining. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – 5 stars all the way!“

“As a couple that semi frequently travels and have been to Cracker Barrel facilities in multiple states. On 1/11/2024 we ordered breakfast and waited in less than 16 minutes our meal was served and it was the best meal we've ever enjoyed everything was hot and tasty even the coffee. Great food great service great experience keep that cook happy and you'll stay busy. 😀“

“Amazing. the wait staff was very attentive and very friendly. kitchen staff was on point with everything we ordered. everything was perfectly cooked and tasted fantastic. The cocktails were great too. Can not recommend enough.“

“Enjoyed the delicious Maryland Club sandwich and a tasty Caesar salad. Ms. Rachel and the wait staff were amazing and welcoming. The Brunch Menu offers a few tasty options, as well. No matter what you choose, your meal will be a joy to your palette. Will surely return soon.“

“We had CR Wings for our Super Bowl Party on Sunday and they did not disappoint! Best wings you can find in Maryland. 200 wings disappeared in just minutes.. We were helped by Ethan, who was also wonderful. Highly recommend them. 10/10 and definitely 5 stars (if not more!!)“

“Best Greek food in Harford County! Started with the Avgolemono lemon-egg drop soup. Tangy with lots of lemon. Uses a chicken broth base. The simple feta plate was extensive with plump capers, lots of heavily marinated kalamata olives& chunks of fresh ripe tomato. Don't miss the entree: spinach+feta chicken. Large chicken breasts top & bottom sandwich a heavy layer of spinach & feta on a bed of orzo rice. Beautiful & a wonderful flavor. Included a varied & fresh Greek salad with superb Greek salad dressing. Finally, 2 deserts were split onto 2 plates for us: the heavy-syrup-filled Greek baklava, & a special lemon filo pastry of the day--very lemony. An excellent meal whether you're there for lunch or dinner. Wonderful service & a warm Greek welcome!“

“Just a good place to go for a good time-friendly staff. Convenient location!!“

“I went there with 3 of my kids after a soccer tournament. We were greeted and sat immediately. Our waitress Samantha was kind and quick to take our order and anything needed while we ate. Chris ( another worker or perhaps manager there) slipped me a piece of paper asking if it was okay to surprise my kids with ice cream after they ate. I also noticed a special needs woman in the booth next to me who had ordered, then asked a dessert to be removed from her order because she said " she could not afford it". I saw that the staff comped her dessert and treated her with kindess and respect. All around I was impressed with the staff, their caring nature. The food was also great! If we are in the area for a tournament, I will defintely come back.“

“Good food and great service“

“Riverside Pub has fantastic food and staff. The private room is perfect for events, and I even attend Trivia night there on Thursdays. Dana does an outstanding job keeping up with the crowd. Great atmosphere overall.“

“Cheesesteaks and eggplant parm are always �“

“Had the most wonderful dining experience at India Garden last night! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and an inviting atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish carried authentic flavors and was beautifully presented. We especially loved the [favorite dish], which was cooked to perfection. The service was outstanding; the staff was attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, making it a great spot whether you’re dining with family, friends, or celebrating something special. Truly a gem in the city—highly recommend India Garden if you want the real taste of India!“

“The food is always good at this location. They seem a little short on staff, but that is certainly understandable due to the fact that Harford Mall is in decline. IMO, they cant afford to have more staff due to lower traffic. The upside is that you rarely have to wait to be seated.
I really hope that they will be able to survive in spite of reduced traffic at Harford Mall.“

“It’s hard to find people that care anymore like that genuinely care. Store manager Aaron went above and beyond. He went as far as even hand delivering something to our house so we had it for Easter dinner. I couldn’t be any happier with this man and this location. Food was great. Customer service was exceptional.“

“Big huge portions of well seasoned delicious food for absolutely reasonable prices and their service blew me AWAY. From the hostess to our waiter, just the friendliest atmosphere. Such a cute place with plenty of viewing opportunities for whatever game you might be enjoying. I only wish we lived closer, we’d visit regularly.“

“Disappointed for the removal of the steak fajitas from the menu. They were the best. Still a great lunch and service.“

“Thank you SO much to Tim and the Birds Nest Staff for our amazing "The Nest" catering order. They were awesome to work with...it was pouring down rain and they helped carry stuff out to our vehicle and the food was AMAZING and the portions were huge!! Everyone commented and asked where we got it so hopefully you'll have some new customers!! Thank you again!“

“Very good service the are very nice people and kindly“

“Chilli’s has been spectacular lately. I’ve had 5 meals here in the past month in different locations. All have been amazing. 1 I had poor service. 3 amazing service and servers. The one time I ordered it for my family to be delivered, we didn’t receive my brother’s meal but I bet that was on the driver, not the restaurant. The burgers are amazing. Fries are best around and it’s not close. Their chips and salsa! Other restaurants need to ask for their chips. It doesn’t get better than Chili’s chips. Thank you for providing great food at a good price and plenty to eat.“

“Excellent service and excellent food 😊“

“Food has always been delicious. Our server Tiffany was wonderful. The grilled chicken with cheese LT and fries was very reasonable and tasty at $15. Unfortunately our app of Mozzarella Kabobs was quite small. Two skewers with 8 quarter size pieces for $12 was very over priced. Suggestion either increase the quantity of the app or please lower the price. Definitely will not order that again.“

“Always a pleasure to come and eat here“
