34 Best American Restaurants near Boonsboro

“Wings on Thursdays are the BEST!“

“My husband, teenager, and I tried this place out for the first time. I cannot get over the quality of food for the price. My husband and I both tried a burger. I had the Western which I've had plenty of times at other places but I've never had it on rye bread before. So yummy and unique! Hubby had the Hangover. He always customizes his food which can be troublesome but not here. I couldn't believe the waitress asked how I wanted my burger cooked... That's when you know they are fresh! The overhead music wasn't too loud and there was such a mix of patrons that the whole atmosphere was very inviting. And then comes the bill... 3 full meals with waters was less than $45! I can't even get Chick-fil-A for that amount. We will definitely be back!“

“Riks is a total star. When you're standing in front of the restaurant you're in a parking lot of a an old shopping center. Once inside you're in a contemporary bar and restaurant. I believe that much of the work in creating the space was performed by the then staff, many of whom worked together with owners at a prior restaurant. The food is wonderful, creative, fresh and satisfying. My favorites include a smoked salmon salmon carpoccio (sorry about the spelling). A great selection of salads with the ability to. add to them crab cake chicken etc. The sandwiches range from a Reuben to a grilled mahi mahi .My favorite when I want a substantial dinner is their short ribs and mashed potatoes. Writing this review has just made me hungry. Guess where I'm going for an early dinner. Prices are VERY reasonable“

“We have eaten here every week since 2017. It’s a great neighborhood restaurant with amazing staff and food.“

“Haven’t been in a while, years to be quite honest. The food was good! The restaurant was clean! The booth seat was not comfortable and unfortunately needs redone. The service was ok. I’m not sure if it’s just me or if their waitresses are unhappy. This is what kept me from coming back for years. Then at the end we asked for “to go” containers for our left over soup that we just couldn’t eat all of. The waitress said “we usually charge for those containers but I won’t charge you all today”. I was shocked. Who charges for to go containers for your leftovers (that you pay for)? This is weird. And I’m hoping that the owner sees this review and makes changes. If you want the consumer to pay for “to go” containers then add that into the cost of your food and keep it hush hush. We don’t want to know every little fee nor should we have to pay for a “to go” container. That is absurd. Again, food was good. Even the lady at the register seemed irritable. I get it. Some days I don’t want to work either. I hope they have better days. We will come back because it is a pretty drive and good food! Please don’t charge for to go containers.“

“Great food. We get breakfast because thats what we like to eat. Club sandwiches and burgers are great also. Heather the waitress was the best“

“My husband and I came into Cracker Barrel for dinner. Seth was our server and waited on us the entire time. I just wanted to let you know how friendly and attentive he was to us. Dinner was an especially great time meeting with Seth and he provided outstanding service. The food is always good at Cracker Barrel and Seth was a pleasant surprise. Looking forward to coming back and we will be requesting Seth again as our server.“

“An absolute gem of a restaurant! We typically get take out which is always soooo good, but last night my husband and I decided to dine in. Wow, what an experience! The inside is decorated absolutely stunningly and SO clean, and the atmosphere is just so warm and friendly. I'm a bit of a picky eater, and our waitress was friendly and polite about it the entire time. And the food - don't even get me started! It was delicious, seasoned perfectly, juicy meat, and the refried beans are to die for. This is now a staple in my family's going out rotation, and I will HAPPILY make the drive from Martinsburg to Hagerstown JUST for Jenny's!“

“Cozy,nice atmosphere,friendly staff and great music. I love the indoor/outdoor concept and when there’s no band playing plenty of other activities, such as darts or shooting a game of pool or sit down and have a nice dinner or lunch many great times at Benny’s pub.“

“Everything here is awesome“

“love this place so much. our server Erin was the best server I've had in a long time. super attentive to the details. the little things. she was also fantastic about keeping the area super clean. she was enthusiastic about bringing the food and sharing ideas. Can't wait to come back!“

“Visiting Antietam battle site on the way to Gettysburg. Great location with a fun brew pub, sports bar and Starbucks in the same shopping plaza. Clean and quiet room, comfortable bed, nice shower, helpful friendly staff. Wish all hotels offered window spray and paper towels available to clean car windshields.“

“Everything about Dempsey’s exceeds expectations. The menu and ingredients are incredibly thoughtful. Everything down to the seasoning is made in house. The desserts are to die for - special shout out to the cheesecakes. I tried strawberry, original and blueberry - all were fantastic but the blueberry has a special place in my heart. This is an outstanding family owned and ran business that supports diversity and inclusion. They have choices for everyone - comfort food, gluten free options, diabetic options, you name it. I will certainly be back and recommend to all. Good people, good food.“

“August 27, 2024 - We rarely “do country clubs”, but we enjoyed our time . . . when friends invited us for a good lunch !

Maryland National Golf Club is a public course , with a very nice tavern overlooking the 18 th hole . . . Can’t beat the Middletown valley scenery! ??????

Katlynn , our server, handed out lunch menus and shared the daily specials! No beer list, but she quickly rattled off beer choices . . . I tried the pineapple Hazy IPA ?! Wonderful summer ale!

My wife ordered Crab Imperial w/melted cheese over an English muffin. Our friends also ordered a Crab Imperial, plus fish & chips with homemade potato chips ! I tried Maryland Crab Soup, with Old Bay Spices a common spice in Maryland on all item’s featuring CRAB ?! Excellent soup, with a tomato based broth , and perfectly cooked crunchy vegetables! ( not cooked to mush) Then enjoyed a Chef Salad.

A nice lunch in a cool AC dining room with lots of windows overlooking the golf course on a sunny day ! ????????? A great lunch spot, to “ catch up” with our Maryland friends !

“Just stopped in for lunch with my boys. The chicken cheese steak was on point. my youngest is picky with his Mac n cheese him and his brother devoured it. Great local spot for food.“

“Stoped here a few times over the years.Located in Hagerstown so it’s near a lot of shopping and off interstate. Plenty of parking. It’s a usual spot of us because we are traveling through Hagerstown Maryland a lot. Great food. Always served really fast and always cooked perfectly. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location is always clean and in good condition. There is plenty of parking and easily accessible to everyone. The waffles are great as always and the breakfast is the best in town.

Parking: Plenty of parking.

Kid-friendliness: Good for the whole family.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“I think it's weird how busy the Dennys across the street from this place is and how this place is like a ghost town. The food here is better, cheaper and you don't have to wait for a hour to actually get your food.
I think many people (like us) forget it's even here.
The food was great, service was great. We were able to be seated as soon as we got there on a Saturday morning. We will definitely be back.“

“Great food Highly recommended“

“Our server Kyle was great! They were able to make me foods safe for me to eat due to my food allergies (THANK YOU!!). Others in my party loved the fresh, homemade rolls (I’m allergic, so couldn’t eat them, but they looked amazing!).
The only downside was the extra long wait. We were told 30-40 minutes, but the wait was over 50 minutes. It was the day after Valentine’s Day, so I’d guess this wasn’t normal. You can make reservations online, I’d highly suggest it!

Dietary restrictions: I let them know my allergies and they worked to make me a great meal!“

“Fun, inviting and good food and I appreciated the good tasting wine“

“My wife and I had a delicious meal , as always. We were served by Allison , her service was excellent and very efficient. As an employee , I hope she is appreciated.“

“If you wanna taste really good steamers the good old fashion way, they are the best!!! Thank you Miss Mary for doing it right! ☺️“

“I just had the best well done steak I ever ate in my life, made by Jose, at Denny's at 1630 Dual Hwy Hagerstown, MD. The server, Michelle L, was also very attentive and pleasant. We really had a delightful breakfast on this last morning of our road trip. Thanks.“

“Since Stephanie started working there...we WILL start coming back again AND I'm "upping" this rating to FIVE stars! ?????We stopped frequenting for about 3 years because the bartending staff was pretty glum and unwelcoming.Yay, Ms. Stephanie for bringing the uppity AND chill vibes back into Pete's! ??“
