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!!“

“Hey if you want to play a nice layout while it's in the best condition it's been in, in quite some time, then tee it up at Walden Country Club. The course and greens are back to really, really great shape. Speed of play has been 4 hours a round any day of the week I played. Go see for yourself.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“We went for the crabcakes on a recommendation we heard from someone. There definitely was plenty of crabmeat in them but in our opinion they lacked a bit of flavor. The cream crab soup was great. The staff was very helpful and friendly. It’s a very casual family oriented restaurant.“

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

“The best kept secret in Howard County!“

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

“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“

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

“Great club with great service“

“Updating my review. Pat's has made huge improvements over the last few years. Quality and consistency are much better. Prices are a bit inflated but so is everything else so, it is what it is. Still, one of our favorites. Rarely disappointed.“

“Salmon really good so is the wine and“

“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 was our third time at Gary’s, and once again it was spectacular. Although your table has a primary server, the whole team works in concert to keep the customers happy. We had several special requests, and every time the response was “let me see if we can do that.” It just so happened that they could accommodate all of our requests. The food was fantastic as always. But the real magic happened at the end of the meal – just as we were asking for the check, there was a medical incident with one of our kids. All available staff immediately came to our rescue with resources and reassurances and enough bodies to create a privacy wall while we stabilized the situation, and I was able to get our kiddo bundled up and in the car in a hurry while my spouse payed the check.“

“Food was great! Took my family and had a great time. My daughter played with one of the free balloons the entire time and had a blast. Service was a little less attentive than I would have liked, but wouldn't stop me from going back.“

“the bartender rocks 🖖✌🤟🤘🤙👌👏👏👏“

“I kept hearing about this food truck so on one of my remote days, I found it. I got the seafood fries. The seafood was, i want to say nicely seasoned but thats an understatement, it was seasoned to hell. OMG, delicious, the little fries on the bottom however were sad. For a dish like this, crinkle cut fries would have been better but instead you get hard shoestring fries. Some of them were inedible because the ends were so hard. Maybe it was just a bad friday, oops fry day. Would I go back, yup. Not necessarily for the fries but that seafood was seasoned so well I have to try something else.“

“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.“

“Casual atmosphere. Good place to bring the kids. If you don't like kids stay at home.
Food was quick. No really quick, abundant, and very tasty. Reasonable priced. You'll need a degree to order beer though. Luckily if you can name a beer you like, they'll match you up. Leftovers to go home and keep you warm. I say all the burgers are great. Fresh cut fries. Seared tuna app was perfect. My beers name was 25. That's all i remember.“

“I went to this deli just around the corner from my job, and overall, it was a decent experience. I got the grits, eggs, turkey bacon, and pancakes. The eggs and grits were absolutely immaculate, really well done! The turkey bacon was a little overcooked, and the pancakes were drenched in butter, so if you prefer them a bit lighter, just a heads up. The atmosphere is okay, though they could really use a makeover. That said, the service was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be returning. I’d give it a 4-star rating“

“People appear to know the personnel by name, the office park is conveniently located, and the service is quite friendly. My only complaint was that the order taker would sometimes try to assist the short order cooks in between orders, but he never wiped his hands or put on gloves after handling the register, which I'm sure hasn't been cleaned in years. Perhaps I'm the only one, but I find it unpleasant when strangers touch my sandwich bread with their bare hands ?“

“Went here for a quick last minute dinner on Saturday. The bourbon street chicken & shrimp with the garlic butter sauce was very good. The chicken was very tender and the shrimp was a great addition. My kids had the alfredo and enjoyed it! I will return for the bourbon chicken.“

“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!!“

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

“The Coconut shrimp was a bit burned I think but I am not expert and the cream of crab soup was great, tasty and had crab meat in it. Some places I think they just reheat somthing from a can. This was like home made.
The place was packed and they had a band that was loud in the bar area so we sat at the end of the dining room so we could talk lol“

“Cindy and Ashley are amazing they never stop moving“

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

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

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Baba’s Halal in Annapolis is truly a hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. From the juicy chicken to the perfectly seasoned rice and sauces, everything tastes amazing! But what really makes this place stand out is the kindness and professionalism of the staff. They treat you like family and make sure you’re taken care of from the moment you walk in. You can tell they put love into everything they do. Highly recommend this place—you’ll keep coming 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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Fun vibe, darts and great food!“

“Personale gentilissimo e ottimo cibo.“

“Romilo’s is such a gem in the community! Their happy hour and game day specials are hard to beat, with delicious wings, pizza, and plenty of other favorites to enjoy. It’s always a welcoming spot to gather with friends. A big shoutout to Jenn, the manager, who goes above and beyond—her warmth and genuine care for customers makes every visit even better. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 .“

“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.“

“very clean old school look and feel, heather was an excellent server and the food was delicious“

“Kennedy H. Is the best server!“

“This was the Shrimp and crab cake benedict over cheesy grits. The shrimp were plump, the crab cakes were packed with crab meat. Everything about this dish was 😘🤌🏾. Also, they serve fresh squeezed OJ which I appreciate.

This place gets busy. Although my party didn't have to wait to be seated around 11 am, as we were leaving around Noon, we noticed quite a few people waiting to be seated.“

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

“Very clean atmosphere Great food“

“Top G's this place would be a tate brothers or thomas massies stomping grounds. First off thanks you grumpy for being so easy to deal with. We got our order, and were missing the scrambled eggs when it came out. I went inside and just check with them about it, they without asking or questioning or making an issue out of it said we will get you. Food is what I expected from an American dinner. Kids loved the one meal and have outdoor indoor seating.“
