33 Best American Restaurants near Boonsboro

“Wings on Thursdays are the BEST!“

“Love the Broad Axe! The chefs and bartenders are great! And I really enjoy the live music nights. 🎶🎸🥁“

“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“

“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.

Looking forward to coming back and we will be requesting Seth again as our server.“

“This is a long review but want to give credit where credit is due!!!
We were traveling and needed a place to eat that a toddler could play. I called and the man that answered was super friendly and welcomed us. Even said he would hold the space for us.
They have upper seating with board games and a couple bean bag chairs. We were the only ones up there. Toddler had a blast.
Food- is a little pricey for a quick lunch but the food was really good. OG Benny, breakfast potatoes and brussel sprouts were great. The she crab soup was salty.
Waitress was awesome. And always smiling no matter how many times she had to come up the stairs. All the staff were super friendly.
Would definitely go back.“

The venue perfectly combines rustic charm with timeless elegance, and our photos truly capture the beauty of this hidden gem.

Beautiful restaurant, great service, and delicious food. We’ll definitely be back!“

Wait time for a table is usually not too bad. The outdoor wait areas are covered which makes it much more bearable in the summer and winter months. Highly recommended!“

“I came in around 7pm Sunday and my first impressions were great, the girl behind the counter was so very sweet and helpful and gave the most exceptional service I've received in the longest time! I was sat very quickly and ordered the bacon cheeseburger which was served to me in a very timely manner and was overall delicious. 10/10, will definitely be coming back!“

“Went to Primant's tonight. Food and service was excellent. We will definitely be back.“

“Went November 2025. Molly was our server which enhanced our experience. We both had the fries and burgers. I had the sweet potato fries and had caramel to dip. The burgers filled the buns and was very tasty. Spectacular service. Molly was very friendly and attentive. The dinner was even better knowing your server was checking in. She did check in multiple times to see if we needed anything.“

“First time I’ve eaten at the Valley Grille in ages and WOW! I was seriously impressed! Their new chef is crushin’ it! 👏

We asked if they’d make the “Family Combo” (12 wings, 1 lb chicken tenders, 3 cheeseburger sliders & fries) even though it’s usually just on the Sunday menu, and they did! The 5 hungry kids in our group demolished it 😂

Also… I’m a total sucker for homemade ranch, and theirs is legit so good. Creamy, flavorful, and clearly not from a bottle 🙌

The adults all ended up ordering tacos...shrimp, carne asada, el fuego pork, and Cajun fish...and every one of them was unique and packed with flavor. But the surprise star of the night was the Brisket Wedge Salad. The brisket was tender, lean, and plated beautifully. Highly recommend trying that one!

The chef even came out to check on our meal, which was such a nice touch, and our server was awesome- handling multiple tables and the bar like a pro.

I live in Glenbrook and have always wanted this spot to thrive, and it finally feels like it’s getting there. Definitely planning to check out trivia night soon!“
