50 Best American Restaurants near Crofton

“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!“

“Great food. Very tasty!!“

“The Walden Country Club and Ilene Murphy were wonderful to work with for our wedding venue. The planning was very thorough from the beginning and we covered things my husband and I didn't even consider. The venue was beautiful and all the staff are friendly and courteous. We appreciate the experience they created for us so much!

Would 100% use again, they helped make our day perfect“

“Great food and the service was amazing. They have an interesting mix between Venezuelan and Spanish tapas. I recomend the cheese arepa, pastelitos andinos , and the tostones they are full of flavor. If your looking for authentic and unique dishes this is the place!“

“We enjoyed a perfect evening for my son's rehearsal dinner! Blackwall Barn and Lodge is a great place to hold any event! Danny and the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. The food was beyond amazing. I wouldn't hesitate recommending the restaurant/Lodge to anyone. Love the atmosphere.“

“the service here was amazing, i dined in for the first time the other day for lunch and the food tasted great. the portion sizes were large enough for me and my family to have leftovers afterwards as well. i will definitely be coming back again“

“My wife and I went there on a whim cause we were bored with the other places we normally go to. We both were pleasantly surprised! Definitely will go back again Tasty food good atmosphere“

“Harvest Thyme Tavern is one of our most favorite restaurants in the DMV, yet a neighborhood gem. We probably eat here more than most go out to dinner in a month. I admire the family ownership and commitment to running the establishment on a daily basis. The food is sourced from our local farmers and that’s just another reason we love this place. The quality ingredients make all the difference in the food and the cocktails. Burgers, fish, salads, pasta and pizza no one else comes close to. Everything here tastes amazing. Pam has desserts to die for, always a select menu and then she has daily offerings that will have you questioning which one to go for. Have no doubt you will love everything! Hands down the best Spicy Cadillac Margarita and that alone speaks volumes. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. The staff is always accommodating, personal, professional and friendly. I promise you will not be disappointed!!!“

“The crab cakes were phenomenal the staff was amazing the bartender Mike makes a killer old fashion and crazy good margaritas . There's a reason they've been here for 77 years the do it the right way!! Great portions good prices and great service!!! If you haven't been here your missing out!!!“

“Great food and drinks. Staff is friendly and accommodating.“

“Cute and fun spot with great service and awesome food. A must try!!“

“First time going and, believe it is not, my fat butt couldn't eat itvall--although I gave it all I got. I will go back!!“

“The best kept secret in Howard County!“

“First time there today. Atmosphere, food, and service were perfect!😊“

“We had an early dinner at Firebirds over the weekend and it was great- our server, Phil, made the experience! He was charismatic, thoughtful, and funny. His recommendations were delicious, and his attentiveness was spot on. Excellent service and meal, thank you.“

“Best pizza and wings, my family has ordered 3X so good so proud of the owner“

“I had a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely delicious—everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. It is clearly a step above your standard breakfast spot.
A huge shoutout to our waitress, Susan. She was incredibly nice, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. Great service makes a huge difference, and she really went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“friendly service great food“

“went there yesterday for my grandsons birthday. Manager and server Dominique were super great, food was outstanding. atmosphere was perfect. I loved it. Will be going back real soon.“

“Cindy and Ashley are amazing they never stop moving“

“To be honest, the food tastes very good. It has a good balance between the spiciness of Mediterranean cuisine and what I'm used to eating. Congratulations! The cashier was super friendly to me, but I also want to congratulate the cook for their hard work.“

“Best club sandwich! Tons of bacon, turkey and the bread is delicious!“

“Great experience- great food and atmosphere“

“Great club with great service“

“IHOP is a classic comfort food chain breakfast joint, no, it’s not cuisine, but they do have some healthy choices also. Their best deals are the omelettes. The pancakes, especially the harvest grain are quite good. And most drinks including coffee ☕️ are refillable. Although nothing really beats a good homemade breakfast, but if you’re in the mood to get out of your head, Your house and not cook in the kitchen. IHOP has some great budget friendly breakfast/lunch options.“

“Best BBQ you can find!“

“Hey everytime I come here it’s pretty poppin and Braden the server was awesome! I enjoyed the 2 for $25 and got wonton tacos and fiesta lime chicken! I’m happy with what I ordered and for the price! The wonton tacos did seem to be pretty small. They still tasted really good. I think that the fiesta lime chicken could have less salt and not include those fiesta strips. They are full of salt! I think the rest of the meal is rather healthy. Make sure to order it but don’t eat the tortilla fiesta crunch strips.“

“Salmon really good so is the wine and“

“Incredible food with great prices. The staff is very friendly.“

“was pleasantly surprised how good everything was. the i got the hatch burger and we shared the fish and chips. Burger was great but I added Carmel onion. As for the fish and chips the fish was breaded to perfection. crunchy/c crispy and the meat was also nicely done. I'm not very big on tartar sauce but the one they provided was excellent one of the best I've had. would definitely come again!!“

“This place consistently has high quality burgers with such a great taste. The bottomless sides are always a plus, but they do charge if you want to switch sides.
The staff are always friendly and welcoming, the manager is always making rounds to make sure everyone is satisfied with their meals. I love it here. Yes I am glazing this place but it is well deserved.“

“The Caesar Salad with grilled chicken was the best I have ever had! Superb!“

“the bartender rocks 🖖✌🤟🤘🤙👌👏👏👏“

“When we first stopped there they offered us a free sample. The guy was careful enough to pick a really fresh piece and we decided to buy from there based on that. However, when we got the food, the selected chicken teriyaki was now dry as if it was the bunch that had been warming up all day. It was dry and rough on the edges. The soda is a 1 time refill. I will probably not eat there again.“

“Awesome beer, friendly staff, delicious food, owners are very cool and kind. Looking forward to coming back!“

“They’ve been around 75 years! Great value and tasty food. You probably won’t find a better affordable burger or hotdog option at this price point. Fries are also fantastic. That’s all combined with great service and a fun classic decor and burger counter experience. Don’t skip this one if you are in the area looking for a quick bite to eat! You can easily have a tasty full meal here for under $10, even under $5 depending on how hungry you are.“

“Fun vibe, darts and great food!“

“This place is great!! The food was awesome!“

“Personale gentilissimo e ottimo cibo.“

“Last night Arundel High Cheer had their banquet there and I was amazed at how well James and the waitstaff catered to all our needs. We had a group of estimated 60 ppl and they went above and beyond. The food was served in a timely manner, portions were good and the taste was amazing as well. Thank you soo much for all your great service, we will definitely be back.“

“First time at this specific location and when I say the food WAS BOMB!!! I will only come to this location for now on! I got the fish platter with a half and half and everything was delicious. Our food was so good, the customers behind us asked what was that delicious smell (the fried whitening) and they ended up ordering the same thing!

Kathya at the front was able to help my Bestfriend and I select a meal which was spot on and our cook Keshia cooked our meals TO PERFECTION!!! Please come here if you see this review!!“

“Had my sisters birthday party there. Service was fantastic,even the manager came over to sing and see how we were doing! Food of course was awesome!“

“This restaurant has amazing food and cosmos. I was actually shocked at how delicious everything was. Also, as a Philadelphian, I was hoping they’d put on the Eagles game and guess what?? They did! Amazing restaurant and wonderful service. The music also was an exact replica of my 2009-2012 iPod color and that brought me joy. Will be back!“

“We have made jailbreak one of our favorite spots when we are in the area. We recently had a dry aged fish and a steak board. To say we were amazed and impressed doesn’t even describe how fantastic the food was and how much we enjoyed it. In addition to the excellent food the staff was top notch to make sure we knew what each item on the boards were. It is something we will definitely do again.“

“Great place, great food and super entertainment all through the week!“

“10/10 every time. Just be prepared to wait a little, because they cook the food to order. It's so worth the small (maybe a 10-15 min on avg) wait! I've been three times and I got something different esch time, no notes! Everything was delicious and flavorful. Highly recommended.“

“This review is mainly about our server, Rachel. My parents and I had breakfast at Eggspectations on Saturday (10/3/26). Rachel was a breath of fresh air! She’s friendly, kind, sweet and professional. She’s a seasoned server who knows her “stuff”. Our meals were tasty and on point - no issues. We never had to ask for napkins, condiments or refills. Also, Rachel remembered to bring my Mother’s hot cup of coffee with her meal, as requested. Rachel was great and we appreciate her services. I will definitely ask to sit in her area the next time I have breakfast there.“

“On behalf of our group of 17 friends who chose Adam’s Grille to celebrate the life of a dear friend Vena who passed a couple of months ago, I would like to thank LeAnn, Joe, Rose of their staff who made our gathering warm, memorable and tasty. They went beyond the call of duty to set a section of tables aside for us. Everyone was able to order their favorite dishes that were served promptly, hot and delicious. From chili to pastrami sandwiches to hamburgers and more we chowed down our food and raised a toast to Vena. Everyone loved their food! Adam’s Grille was chosen in large part because it was Vena’s favorite restaurant. It is now our favorite restaurant. Thanks for making our time so special .“

“Great local place and we have been back and will keep going back“

“Waterfront on South River. Open, and, airy with many dining areas, inside, and out. It also has 2 bars, inside, and out, plus scheduled live music. A transient pier with approx. 30 slips, if you decide to come by boat. A very laid back, comfortable atmosphere. The wait staff are pleasant, and attentive.“
