“Outstanding food! We go here over IHOP for breakfast now 😂 It’s better quality food and the people are so so nice! They don’t have a fantastic coffee selection, but they’ve got lots of other yummy drink options. We love coming here and are so glad for a quick, quality breakfast spot in Elkridge!!“

“Best steamed dumplings and wonton soup/egg drop wonton soup around. Dumplings are made in house and are full of meat. The wonton in the soup are full of meat too with a great broth. I haven’t been disappointed with anything there but those soup and dumplings are my go to dinner and it hits the spot every time.“

“I will definitely be back !!! The food was amazing, the old fashioned to die for, however our server Maddie is absolutely phenomenal !!!!! Highly recommend you go and should request her as well 🥰“

“Wonderful first experience. Invited to attend "Seniors Don't Eat Alone" waiter Kevin was very attentive, knowledgeable and understanding of Seniors!!! Our second experience, was again great. We joined "DINE OUT MARYLAND" and saw Libs Fulton was on the registry. Four of us had reservations at 4:00 we asked to be seated at a 6 top and the hostess just smiled and seated the 4 of us. Then noticed that Kevin was once again our waiter. He took the drink orders perfectly. Unfortunately, my BEEF & BURRATA was tepid at best. Kevin nicely removed and had remade without issue. The MOD brought my diner back pipping hot and apologized with a smile. Prior to ordering, we had inquired if the Dine Out MD was accepted and provided our ID. Keven again handled. Next another personable young man brought back the bill and spoke with us. He was informing us of the upcoming expansion of the Libs restaurants. He stated he was going to be at the new location in Towson. Great experience. All three individuals showed great customer service. BTW - our food was delicious....“

“We had The Grill for the first time tonight. It was good food and good service with great company. We will definitely be back 😊“

“Great home cooked food, locally sourced! Nothing like homemade ice cream!!!“

“Very friendly staff, food is always good, and I love the cleanliness of the restaurant including the bathroom! They make their own chantilly🤩“

“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 hostess and waitress were friendly and prompt. I requested a table with a view and we got one. Nice decor, good atmosphere. The menu selection was limited and there was no vegan option for me. The waitress spoke with the chef and he cobbled together something for me that had good flavor, but I had no idea was I was getting until it was served. My girlfriend's steak was a little tough (she struggled to cut it). Overall a good experience; a vegan option on the menu would be appreciated.“

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

“What a great atmosphere and food was great! Will return and highly recommend 👍“

“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.“

“Food and service is outstanding“

“Blown away by how great our event was. Long time patron moved to Florida 6 years ago. Looked for a venue to host a surprise 65th bday party for my wife with 35 attendees. I could not have been more pleased! Great menu, food drink and service were top notch. If I could give 100 ⭐’s I would. Jeanine and her team were fantastic! Highly highly highly recommend!!“

“There aren't a lot of options, other than buying hats, mugs or flags. One soup (tomato), one entre (chicken), one desert (white cake with fresh frosting, with stale frosting sprinkles, and an eclair on top). Other than the desert, each was done very well unless you don't like that particular choice. I'm not fond of tomato soup and the deserts both sucked.“

“Stopped by for a late outdoor dinner. Ordered at the window and staff was amazing and friendly. Amira was especially friendly. We were devastated you ran out of cotton candy ice cream, but we still had a great night with great service.“

“Thanks for making our Thanksgiving Dinner!“

“I've been coming to Golden West for two decades but this morning was the first time I came with my kids (4 years and 20 months). They had high chairs, coloring pages, and our server put our kids' order in first so they could have their pancakes quickly. No one made a big deal out of us wandering around a bit with our 20 month old. And the food was delicious! Chef's kiss to the Christmas style breakfast burrito with vegan chorizo and the peaches and creme macha latte! So often with little kids it feels like you have to choose between kid-friendly and really good food. Thanks so much Golden West for doing both!“

“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“

“When you want old school charm and history in Ellicott City, this is your stop. I haven't been in years, first time for lunch and couldn't be more satisfied. Their stuffed mushrooms caps was all crab meat, delish. Their Steak wrap was better than a cheesesteak sammie. Herman was on his service game!“

“Great service, nice portions, and Everything was 10 outta 10. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Highly recommended 👌🏾“

“We had the fried green tomatoes as our first appetizer. They were tender and topped with lumps of crabmeat. Spectacular! Then we had the fried cheese appetizer. I can’t remember the name of the cheese, but it was delicious in the accompanying sauce and olive oil and pesto. All of the dishes we had came out perfect. My filet medallions were so tender,they melted in my mouth. Hubby got the pork loin over mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts and loved it. We will definitely come back!“

“I love to stop in for lunch with my son & grandson when in Catonsville. Really enjoy the tomato basil soup with grilled cheese sandwich! (Traditional but SO good!)“

“My wife and I are working on visiting all 30 MLB stadiums, and one thing I’ve learned is that the whole point of traveling is to experience something you can’t get back home. If every restaurant serves the same food and drinks as everywhere else, why leave home? That’s why I think every restaurant should have a few signature dishes and cocktails that define the place.

That was really my only disappointment here. When I asked what the house specialties were, our waiter simply said, “Everything’s good.” He was a fun guy and did recommend a great local beer, but I’d love to see Pickles Pub highlight its must-try items for first-time visitors.

Thankfully, we found one on our own. My wife ordered the Old Bay fries, which were good, but the butter and Old Bay wings were absolutely phenomenal. I’m a huge wing fan—my parents owned a popular wing restaurant for over 20 years, and I even owned a wing business myself—so I always judge a place by its wings. I’d never had wings with butter and Old Bay before, and they were outstanding. They were exactly the kind of unique local experience we travel for.

The atmosphere before an Orioles game is fantastic—it’s one big baseball party and a great way to kick off a visit to Camden Yards. We even tried the Pickleback shot, which was a fun experience.

If you’re heading to an Orioles game, I definitely recommend stopping at Pickles Pub. Just make sure you order the butter and Old Bay wings!“

“Great staff, great food, great drinks.“

“absolutely everything food is delicious👌🏼 drinks fron bar are the best❤ service excelent. beatifull place🤩“

“The fish was amazing and the jazz room is the perfect vibe for a first date or a cocktail with best friend! Absolutely loved it“

“I took my boyfriend out for a father's day dinner last night at this great new restaurant to us. Wait was only 10 minutes. Very nice decor. Love the ceiling and lighting. The cocktails were spot on! The food was delicious. But above all else, our waiter, Nick, was the best part about this. He had great energy and attentiveness. He had the funniest quips and took care of all of our requests. Thank you Nick!“

“The staff, food, drinks, decor, outdoor dining with a large TV and the large parking lot are some of the best around.“

“Fast, Friendly and Delicious“

“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.“

To top of your experience the friendly management is always making their rounds to shake your hand, talk to your mother-n-law, and make you feel special.

“My wife and I came there for our three year anniversary of our marriage and Leena was our waitress. The level of service from start to finish was amazing and the food was 5-star.
