Restaurants in Ellicott City

“Servicio excelente. Fuimos atendidos por MIRNA G. La chica fue muy amable y nos atendio con gran amabilidad y simpatia. Fue nuestra primera visita y volveremos. Recomendado”

“Omg there is another location closer to my home. Awww shux. There is one near work and now I find one mear home. I love the food and family atmosphere of this restaurant. Hands up a family and work favorite. See you soon...”

“By pure accident, we came into Pepper House for lunch yesterday. This place is a hidden treasure. There’s no doubt you’re in for a real authentic Chinese food experience. They advertise it’s “street food”, so you’re not getting a fancy sit-down dinner, nor a mass-produced Panda Express combo. This is real. The flavors and ingredients are intense and fresh. The ubiquitous chili oil is house made, many-layered, and includes Szechuan pepper for the numbing you need and want. Pepper House is worthy of many repeat visits.”

“We had a small wedding party catered with Ed’s wonderful chicken and plantains. Everything was delicious. The chicken is so tender and juicy. I definitely recommend this restaurant!!”

“Good food and service at the Wilmington, DE location”

“My husband brought me here for our anniversary and it was absolutely phenomenal. It’s located in gorgeous historic Ellicott City and the atmosphere is romantic and intimate. The staff were attentive and professional…but the meal itself was divine. We had a 6 course meal and every single bite was a melt in your mouth happy dance. From the moment you walk through the door you feel special and the entire experience was everything that you’d expect from an upscale French restaurant. 5 stars hands down! ♥️♥️♥️”

“Solid tea and very friendly service. They also have vegan jerky - I got the squid flavored and it reminded me of the dried squid I used to eat back in the day ???”

“I went for the first time over the weekend. The place was so clean and the employees were very friendly! I loved the options that I got to pick from that day! The store is great and I will be going back as soon as possible!”

“Food was great, service was fast, and lots of gluten free options! We will def be back!! Thanks!”

“I always book here and have never been disappointed. I will go again and again.”

“Great customer service! Good pricing. Hidden gem. Saw them shared with Nomastic Baltimore instagram decided to drive 30 minutes to give them a try”

“❤️ love this place. Great boba and atmosphere!”

“Food and service is outstanding”

“I cannot say enough good things about our wedding cake! It was absolutely delicious—so many guests came up to me saying it was the best cake they’ve ever had. People were genuinely shocked when they found out it was vegan! Not only did it taste amazing, but it was also stunning—exactly what I envisioned. Working with Sarah was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She really listened to what I wanted and brought it to life beautifully. I’m so happy we chose her for such a special part of our day!”

“Food was delicious! Will be coming back! First time coming here and it was so good, you won’t regret it!”

“Excellent food, fresh and beautifully presented; outstanding attentive service.”

“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. Compliments to Leena, the hostess, and the chefs who prepared the meal and provided such an amazing experience for our first time coming there. Thank you!”

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

“Food is great. Service is excellent. Atmosphere is local and welcoming”

“I discovered Kelsey’s when I was shopping across the street . We been going there ever since . The food and service is amazing. The bartenders are friendly and when you go there a lot they know what you want to drink or eat every time. Brandon is always on point makes great margaritas the best . Kelsey is great too . All the bartenders are friendly and amazing too. The manager is so friendly. I highly recommended Kelsey’s to everyone. Myra Burgess. & Van Gullivan🤠👱🏼‍♀️”

“Everything at this place is recommended!”

“I recently hosted a large party here, and the staff were easy to work with and accommodated our large group. It was the perfect setting (both inside and outside). The cocktails and food were awesome, and the staff was friendly.”

“Fantastic food! Highly recommend 🍷”

“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!”

“Fun type Mexican style cantina/restaurant.”

“originally went to Asian bistro to find dinning room was closed and was very happy because this place was fresh and wonderful. a new great fin6”

“Our team couldn’t be more happy with the food. We ordered From Nora’s catering menu for our team of 40 not only did everyone get to eat there was plenty enough for seconds for everyone!! If your looking to great catering this is the place not only where they responsive but also quick with their delivery!! Thank you again!!”

“Terrific new local small business in OEC making great Vodka and Gin!! This is run by a great friend of mine and will be a terrific addition to OEC.”

“Our favorite place for a family friendly outing!”

“This is my new favorite place to eat in Ellicott City! First of all the food is incredible. The garlic sauce we ordered as an appetizer alone would have satisfied me but the food just keep getting better. So fresh and so flavorful!! The owner introduced himself and made us feel so welcome. Their story is incredible! The ambiance was absolutely lovely. They had live musicians who were extremely talented and added a tone that was fun and enjoyable but not at all overwhelming or too loud. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend enough! We will definitely be going back very soon!”

“The team at our local Baskin Robbins are an awesome team. They make the whole family feel welcome and wanting to return for more sweets. Especially as the summer is almost here. It's time to get some scoops.”

“Great coffee and ice cream! Clean restaurant and nice employees.

Kid-friendliness: Clean and the ice cream made it perfect for my child while I enjoyed my coffee.”

“I walked in because my phone glitched and I was picking up a large order for a group at my house. I was immediately greeted by three people at the front counter who were extremely busy (and still took the time to smile and acknowledge me). Those team members knew what order I was talking about immediately and a woman who was helping specifically ensured I got all of my food and was patient and smiling. At the end of me getting everything, I heard her tell everyone she was leaving for the night..meaning she stayed past her clock out time to ensure my order was completed (also unknowingly ensuring no meltdowns from my children). When I asked for her name, she told me it was Deena (sp?). Everyone that was working tonight was absolutely awesome, especially her!”

“I stopped by for a quick lunch on sunday. Was in and out in less than 40 minutes. Asia was my server, very friendly and made sure I was taken care of quickly. The new Champagne Shrimp option was extra good that day.”

“good food”

“Had an amazing time at Sangam Indian Cuisine Ellicott City with family and friends! The food was incredible - that Thalapakattu Goat Biryani, Paneer Pepper Fry, and Green Chilli Chicken were absolute winners! Felt so happy and content after a long time.”

“I tried the Nashville hot chicken sandwich a couple weeks ago. Thought it was fantastic. We did it again last night and was super disappointed. I don't know if we ordered something incorrectly or it was made wrong. It seemed like there was no sauce at all. but we have ordered several times since then so 🤷 one off night but that sandwich has become my go to when ordering there.”

“our server Michael at Gaithersburg MD has made our day and got say he turned our entire day around less not forget the food was amazing as well”

“just amazing, food was perfect.”

“A great business should definitely come and try these amazing deliciousness with great service. Remember, lemon chicken is just amazing. And then comes the Nashville chicken. Do not forget everything is Halal in this place.”

“First timer here and we got a small meatball pie and a gyro. The gyro was amazing! The homemade pita takes the cake! Perfect blend of meat, feta, sauce and veggies! The pizza was outstanding and very crispy and light! 5 stars from us! Well done River house pizza!”

“Good food with good service! I ate there several times as someone new to Korean food and enjoyed and left satisfied! I had the kimchi pancake, steamed eggs, and other dishes during my visits! All good experiences with good food! This place is worth a visit and worth a drive to try out Korean cuisine!”

“We got Mandu, soy and garlic chicken, and a seafood pancake to share. Was delicious and plenty of food! The fresh cucumber kimchi was amazing. Good selection of flavored soju too. Will be back!”

“customer service was great, French toast combo w bacon, eggs delicious and fried potatoes were really good. waffle was just ok I'd do the French toast over the waffle”

“Fantastic food and great prices! The restaurant is clean, and the staff are friendly! My only wish is the veggie burger could have been homemade patty instead of the "Beyond Meat" patty they use. Solid 4.5 star!”

“Love this place so much, we go about once a week. I do wish they were open a bit later because it can be a time crunch to make it there after work, but I get it. The food is flawless, I haven't ordered anything that wasn't delicious.”

“Parking: A few spots in front of The Trolley Stop. There is a public parking lot right next door along the old street car right of way.

Kid-friendliness: I didn't see any kids there today but they are definitely kids friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

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

“My first time and was treated especially nice by the staff. The food was awesome and the experience will go in the books as one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at in MD ❤️”

“I love Izzy! She’s the best. From the moment I walked in, her kind and friendly nature made the whole place feel so warm and welcoming. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. I definitely will be coming back because of her! <3 Would recommend the crazy cookie!”

“Had an impromptu lunch here today, even though we have been wanting to come for a while. The atmosphere was quiet and calm. We sat down and ordered. Some fresh hot tea was also on my list and it was a perfect start. Everything was hot, fresh, and so delicious. The added sides from them added to the complexity of the dishes and paired deliciously. The cold noodles in beef broth were so refreshing. My husband loved the spicy squid and the seafood pancake was crispy and delicious. We cannot wait to come back again! Everything was very well priced and the serving sizes were a bit on the larger side.”

“This place is by far the best casual eating and drinking, family-friendly place I have experienced. Everyone is very friendly. The regulars are the kind of people that will give up their seat to an older person. Very polite and sincere. The staff is more than accomodating, prompt and respectful. Miss Jenna is amazing, with a very caring personality. She'll make sure your visit is a happy experience. Miss Taylor, with her contagious smile is always a pleasure to deal with. Both these ladies, and the guys, and all the support staff are the kind if people you just want to be around. Even when things get busy, their professionalism never fades. I can't say enough good things. Stop in and see for yourself. You won't be disapointed. Thank you Miss Joyce and Mr. Josh for assembling a much appreciated group of professionals. They are a fun group.”

“The General Manager Lavelle is very kind and amazing to talk with and is also very patient. Very good experience overall and easy to order will be coming here again!”

“Stopped by for the first time while dropping off my car nearby for a repair. So tasty!! The two ladies working were so lovely! The woman who was helping me as I paid even brought out fresh custard buns for me to take instead of the ones I got off the shelf! The plain latte I had was good and piping hot! Prices are very reasonable as well. I’ll definitely go back!”

“Amazing Brunch. Thank you Stelios and Giannis for the hospitality. We hope meet in future again. Greetings from Calgary - Canada.”

“Found it by mistake and WOW Pretty cool place with many interesting and delicious pastries to choose from. We had lunch and it was fabulous!!! Highly recommend”

“This place is perfect and so fun everytime! We can't go to the DC area without hitting it 👌”

“likely the best Korean restaurant in the area. Bbq is excellent. Naeng Muen cold noodles is great. Galbi tang, rib soup is awesome. Galbi is great too. Delicious”

“I think I just found my new favorite chicken place! Tender pieces made for eating on the go, just like at a street market. Pleasantly salty, and perfectly spicy. Their fries are very tasty as well. The price is very reasonable and a great value. Honestly, one order of chicken is enough for two people to split, but you'll be fighting for that last morsel! I highly recommend Jumbo Jumbo!”

“Our favorite restaurant in Ellicot City. Hope they stick with same chefs.”

“I’m in love with this good.. it tastes delicious and let’s not talk about the costumer services they receive you with a smile in their face and make you go home happy with a good meal.. love this place.”

“Always thrilled with the quality of food and service at this location. They're all so accommodating and kind, and it's nice to rely on the fact the meal will always be good. Great deals before 3pm, too! We get the California rolls and salmon teriyaki and have never had an unpleasant experience.”

“Mrs. Laura and her team keep it clean, the line is quick, and everyone's energy is always great! Don't miss their subway on route 40. In and out! Always happy! They run a great store here! Client of 10 years now! See you guys again soon!”

“My son and I went to Georgia Grace for breakfast. The food was exceptional, but what stood out the most was the excellent service and going above and beyond mentality of the owner and staff. My son wanted lemonade and was upset because they only had frozen lemonade. The owner overheard us, went behind the bar, made him a fresh lemonade, brought it to him, and didn’t even charge us for it. What an amazing gesture toward a 6 year old and us as customers. We will always remember that.”

“Amazing flavor #AppleBlueberry”

“Best Korean fried chicken wings ever!!! The house sauce was gold! The rice is legit! I had to edit my review because the second time we came the service was not so great. Great food but the server we initially got has to work on her attitude. She kept ignoring me and my partner when clearly we were here before other guest. She ended up taking the other guest order first. Not a big deal but the slow service did it for me. I recommend take out.”

“Great service and best boba around.”

“I got an espresso machine for christmas and it takes very specific beans. I was asking Kira about which bean would be best, and they were so helpful. They called the boss and got all the info I needed. I told them I didn’t want to be any trouble, but they insisted and were so accommodating.
The coffee was also bomb, and came out quickly. I got the salted caramel cold brew which I highly recommend”

“Long-term customer & always excellent!!”

“I love the energy and service of the place. Bob you and workers have always been kind to me and my family thanks for giving life to water.”

“Snow Ice and Gimbap. Next time I’m trying the Rice Cake Ramen.”

“The lemonade is so delicious. This place is so cute and cozy. I recommend this place”

“Laidback place, definitely come here if you have some time on your hands, the food is extremely delicious albeit the service a little slow. I can't really put them at fault considering how hard the staff work. Enjoyed doro tibs & doro wot & there's plenty of vegan options as well

Dietary restrictions: People with legume allergies might be concerned about the lack of selection but there's a few to order that're edelicious & allergy-free

Parking: In front of the restaurant, theres like an ample amount of spaces because its in a tucked-away strip mall”

“Amazing location, I got the Strawberry Milk Tea and it was some of the best I've had from any location. I'm not a boba connoisseur, but I definitely know quality! It's located in a hot spot in Ellicot City. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!”

“Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. The Ramen is amazing, the Kabobs are delicious. The kaarage and edamame were also wonderful. It’s a great spot, everyone is kind and respectful. Overall the environment was calm and quiet, but we went later in the night. 10/10 ramen spot. Every time I get a chance to go, it makes my day.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s not the most wheelchair accessible. But they have DoorDash and take out options.”

“Best vege pizza I've ever had! Jeani Burns”

“Great Thai restaurant, friendly staff. Best Penang and best Pad prik khing for miles around. We've been going for nearly 2 decades, always solid - never disappointed.”

“The food was delicious! Highly recommend hot crispy beef and the honey sesame eggplant!”

“Nice area and my husband order the duck plate and ate at the restaurant. One week later we order duck plate again online. He love this service.”

“This was my first time food drinks dessert were excellent. The water was tasty as well. I am the pickiest layer and found nothing to complain about. When going on Friday or Saturday get reservations they tend to be extremely busy. I am going back soon”

I used to work at Outback back in the day and their hospitality has not changed. well done!!!”
