New American Restaurants near Clarksville, MD

“The food was amazing and the drink was sooo good!!!!!“

“it's my favorite restaurant in the world!!. .❤ Only one concern: I wish they would stop using plastic. Plastic pollution is damaging the environment and all beings on this planet.“

“Another successful event held at Bushel and a Peck. This time we were in their smaller private room. They also have a fantastic, large private dining area, as well as outdoor seating. I highly recommend them if you are looking to book a private party or corporate event. Or just a date night or client meeting. The staff is great, the venue is beautiful and the food is amazing.“

“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.“

“Good food, big portions, great friendly staff, excellent service. Makes you want to come back. Our server, Trevor, was everything a good server should be, and more.“

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

“As always, the food was great. We enjoyed the oysters on the half shell, folllowed by my pasta & my wife's lobster roll. Unfortunately, they no longer had the soft shell crabs as advertized on the web site. I don't know how often a web site is updated. The food service was backed up, so we had to forego dessert due to the long wait.“

“Ordered the army breakfast. Eggs were over done, sausage was under cooked and the entire meal was cold. Could have had a better breakfast at a homeless shelter. First and last time.“

“We had a great time. Food was amazing and plenty of Gluten Free and Vegan options for two of our party of four. There were also plenty of meat options. Service was great from the time we walked in the door until we left. The cocktails were all good as well as the desserts.“

“My husband and l attended a private party and all of the food was delicious and the service was great. Everything we tasted from appetizers to dessert was great. I had the steak frites for my entree and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Also of note were the Brussels sprouts. We also loved the new decor and color scheme of the restaurant.“

“Enjoyed having brunch here! The mussels were delicious and we had excellent service from Logan! Food was brought out fresh & hot, drinks were cold & refreshing & dessert was worth it! We will be back! Thanks!“

“Hidden Gem (or it was for us)! So glad we stumbled upon this awesome place after a baseball game at Schooley Milk Park via Google search for 'food near me'. I'd heard good things about this local restaurant/pub and it was even better. All fantastic!“

“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.“

“The Nordstrom Cafe has the absolute best service! The entire staff is always friendly, accommodating and the food is always fresh & taste amazing! I can’t say enough good things about this place. Always a great experience! 5/5 stars! ?“

“We always have a good experience here but I just want to give them some praise for the accessibility. The disabled bathroom stall is so nice. First of all, it’s the very first stall right next to the door (I’ve never seen that, usually it’s the furthest stall all the way in the back, which can be annoying when you can’t walk very far). It’s also quite large, larger than your standard “accessible” stall. I would have no problem fitting in the stall with my wheelchair and my service dog. A standard accessible stall is barely big enough to fit my wheelchair, let alone with my service dog. I had a lovely conversation with the manager about the accessibility and I love the response he gave, that he doesn’t just want things to meet basic ADA standards, he wants things to be better/more accessible (because ADA standards for accessibility are quite literally the bare minimum and often aren’t easy to navigate). I really appreciate when I hear that type of sentiment because accessibility for disabled people is usually such an afterthought or simply not considered. I’ve recently had an extremely negative experience at another establishment, and it was just very nice to have such a pleasant experience this evening. I also love that every time I’ve taken my service dog, from the time he was a young puppy to now at 18 months and nearing fully trained, they’ve been very welcoming.“

“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.“

“Delicious food and great service“

“The food and drinks were great and so was our bartender. I didn’t get her name but she was a beautiful blonde. Thanks sweetie!“

“A good time… All the time…“

“Your sign is blocked by trees. As first time visitors we drove right past even though gps said we’d arrived. Had to call from the car to get directions. Also need a sign for location of your handicapped ramp. It too is hidden from view.“

“We came this past weekend for my sister’s bachelorette brunch. Scott was AMAZING! We were a party of 18 and he was top notch. The drinks and food were delicious and the atmosphere was so inviting. We had such a fun time! Thank you for hosting us.“

“Medium Rare in Columbia, Maryland, is a hidden gem that truly stands out in the local dining scene. This steakhouse offers a simple yet brilliant concept: a prix-fixe menu focused on high-quality steak, fries, and salad. From the moment you walk in, the warm, inviting atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

The star of the show is the steak, cooked to perfection every time. Medium Rare’s signature preparation, often cooked to a perfect medium-rare as the name suggests, ensures a juicy, flavorful bite with a beautifully seared crust. The steak is accompanied by their famous secret sauce, which elevates the dish to a whole new level of savory goodness. The hand-cut fries are crispy and golden, complementing the rich flavors of the steak perfectly.

The service is outstanding, with staff who are not only knowledgeable about the menu but also genuinely attentive and friendly, making guests feel like regulars even on their first visit. The relaxed yet sophisticated ambiance, paired with an impressive wine list, makes Medium Rare a great spot for a romantic evening, a celebration, or even just a casual dinner for steak lovers.

Every time I have been I get the feeling of a well oiled machine. Every employee seems happy to be working there and that speaks volumes to ownership but more importantly management.

In addition to its fantastic food and service, Medium Rare offers excellent value. The prix-fixe menu includes a delicious fresh salad to start and unlimited portions of fries, ensuring that guests leave fully satisfied. It’s a wonderful balance of quality, flavor, and affordability, making it one of Columbia’s must-try dining spots.

5 stars from top to bottom!“

“Myself and my family of 13 came here for a surprise party on 2/22/25 and was pleasantly impressed. I called 2 days prior to see if they could accommodate my party at the last minute and the manager said “Yes”, without hesitation.
I had to call the day prior to change the time and the change the time without any issues.
Our waiter SYLVAN was Perfect. He knew the menu well and all of his suggestions were spot on! The manager greeted us as we were leaving and this was a nice touch to the gathering.
The food and ambiance was great. We plan to come back again. This restaurant NEVER disappoints.“

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

“beautiful view, good food, nice selection, well prepared courteous and friendly staff relaxing atmosphere“

“We were here for the M3 after party on Friday night and the staff were all friendly and amazing. We had the sound rocking, the place was packed and the service was still fast. Great Venue with in minutes of Merry Weather Post Pavilion We look forward to working with you again for future events.“

“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“

“Smoked Salmon was delicious. We dipped the bread in the Musssels. Pork and Steak cooked perfectly.“

“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.“

“I truthfully should have written this review last week but I wanted to give a huge shout out to James and his team. This location is absolutely phenomenal and they’re not enough good things that I can say. They were able to fulfill a large catering order for teachers during teacher appreciation week, which everyone loved and greatly appreciated. The food was ready on time, still hot by the time it arrived and the staff was so kind. If you have an event you are looking to be catered, I highly recommend going to this location. You will not be disappointed by the quality, taste or service. Thank you to James and his team!“

“Great food. The service was great and a comfortable atmosphere“
