50 Best American Restaurants near Fallston

“I just have to share the fantastic experience we had tonight. My husband and I went to The Local around 6:30 pm (prime time without reservations lol). The only available seats were a high top table in the bar area. They asked us if that was ok and we said “sure”. Within a minute or so after being seated, it became apparent that our vision of a nice relaxing dinner would be impossible in that room. The Preakness was about to begin, and that bar was loud and hopping! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, I love to see people enjoying themselves. It was a party, but just wasn’t our vibe tonight. We decided we would go elsewhere. We politely informed the hostess that we were going to leave because it was just a tad too noisy, but that we would definitely return again soon. We stressed that we were not mad, or upset. As we were walking to our car, a very nice gentleman followed us out and asked if we would consider returning if they could sit us elsewhere. We said “Of course!” We didn’t think there were any other available tables, but he said they would work something out for us. We told him we didn’t expect them to go out of their way for us and that we could wait. Within five minutes, we were seated at a lovely table in the dining room. We later learned the gentleman that helped us was none other than the owner/ executive chef Zack. We went on to have a delicious dinner with the most attentive and charming server. They demonstrated exemplary customer service, which sadly is lacking in many other establishments. We weren’t expecting any special treatment, but they certainly went above and beyond for us, and it was very much appreciated! When we were leaving, Zack happened to be outside, so he made sure to ask how our experience was. We told him it was amazing, and that his restaurant has been one of our favorites since it opened. We told him we would be back soon. Our experience there tonight is just one of many examples why this restaurant stands out, and why we will always highly recommend them! Thank you all so much for proving customer service is not a dying art!“

“After living in the area for 5 years we finally visited Pairings Bistro tonight.
We were celebrating our 20th anniversary and I’m so glad we chose Pairings to do so. The restaurant is quite beautiful , the staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the food was amazing. Loved being able to chose between pre fixe 3 or 4 course meals and à la carte for dinner and of course the wine pairing option. With the many choices for lunch or dinner and seasonal menu this is sure to become one of our new go to restaurants. We could go numerous times a month and have something new and exciting each time. Thanks for the wonderful service and delicious food and wines.“

Our bartender, Jake was very personable and friendly and gave perfect service!!! Delicious drinks! Everything was above and beyond. There were so many delicious choices on the menu, we can't wait to come back to try more! We had the buffalo chicken wonton special, the Italian stallion sub special and I got the blackened Mahi Mahi tacos all 10/10.“

“Today I tried Charcoal Style for the first bc time ever. I ordered the pit turkey sandwich (regular) with an order of fries. It was THE best pit turkey sandwich that I have ever had, and the fries!!!!! The fries would absolutely give Thrashers a run for their money! I can’t wait to try more from this little gem!“

“don't know if it was the server or the kitchen but our food took forever and then my salad was incorrect. I asked for no tomatoes they gave me tomatoes but no cheese. asked for cookies and creme ice cream took half hour for Ice cream to come out when I told our server to cancel the ice cream cause I had to be out forest hill by 230 and it was already 130 ,(we had already been there 1 1/2 hours for 2 kids meals a sandwich and salad) then the ice cream came out incorrect so I canceled my ice cream order. it was early in the afternoon no line at the window and only 6 tables of guest all small groups.“

“Needless to say the place is amazing! I loved the interior look of the establishment. It really resembles a lodge, even has ski seat that swing (a little LOL). My kid truly enjoyed the seats. The Orange Crush was really good and the crab dip was awesome! The wait staff was warm and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back. A friend made the recommendation and I called them to thank them because it was amazing food!“

“I try and go to the Sunshine Grille with my family at least once a month. The food is excellent, the service is fast and friendly, and the views and surrounding area is beautiful.

“This was our first visit to the G&A but it definitely wont be the last! We have eaten crab cakes at many of Baltimore’s restaurants and indeed in restaurants all over the world and I can say with absolute certainty that the crab cake at the G&A was the best we have ever had. It was full of lump crab meat and the seasoning was sublime. We also tried the salads and the home fries, everything was delicious. We have since been back for breakfast and this too was prepared to such a high standard with a wide choice to suit all tastes. The G&A is an absolute gem of a restaurant with friendly and attentive staff and owners who clearly care deeply about giving their customers the best possible experience. I highly recommend a visit, you will not be disappointed.“

“Our food was excellent and service was outstanding. Dawn was our waitress, It has been a long time since we had a waitress that earned her tip. Dawn took our order, served our order, check on us several times while dining, and finally gave us our check. Most waitress now take your order and give you your check and want a 20% tip.“

“Just a good place to go for a good time-friendly staff. Convenient location!!“

“Great Wings! A myriad of cooking options and flavors. Not the cheapest in town but to be fair they are good. My only gripe is the carrots and celery that are served with these wings are abysmal, And you have to pay extra for them, If you want really good carrots and celery, and massive wings, go to Looney's! and they're included with the wings.“

“Would like to give a huge shout out to Sarah the bartender we were in there on Saturday place was very busy. even though the cook was swamped Sarah handled it like a champ will certainly return“

“I had a really good experience at Burgerfi White Marsh recently. I was there before lunch time and the crew working was terrific! Malikai, Cameron, Jasmyn and a young man in the kitchen worked hard and so well together. What a team.“

“Best Greek food in Harford County! Started with the Avgolemono lemon-egg drop soup. Tangy with lots of lemon. Uses a chicken broth base. The simple feta plate was extensive with plump capers, lots of heavily marinated kalamata olives& chunks of fresh ripe tomato. Don't miss the entree: spinach+feta chicken. Large chicken breasts top & bottom sandwich a heavy layer of spinach & feta on a bed of orzo rice. Beautiful & a wonderful flavor. Included a varied & fresh Greek salad with superb Greek salad dressing. Finally, 2 deserts were split onto 2 plates for us: the heavy-syrup-filled Greek baklava, & a special lemon filo pastry of the day--very lemony. An excellent meal whether you're there for lunch or dinner. Wonderful service & a warm Greek welcome!“

“The waitress staff is the best in the area. Never wait for a refill or to be served. They all come over and recognize that you are back and greet you accordingly. The afternoon staff for lunch is the best. I’m not sure of their names but they are the best!!“

“I was out running errands and instead of going for fast food or other popular restaurants, I went to this bar because they had corned beef and cabbage on St Patrick's day which was awesome so I tried their spaghetti and meat sauce. It took a while to get waited on, food was was good. The sides they listed on menu board were extra cost and do not come with your meal which I thought was odd. They didn't have any parmesan cheese for my meal which I missed having. They have plenty of tv's to watch the O's. Pool tables,shuffleboard, several beers on tap. I will go back because I try to support local bussinesses. I think I caught them on an off day thus the reason I gave 4 stars.“

“The worst experience ever , I give 0 stars to this trashy a** place. Dirty tables food on chairs , rude and unprofessional staff, they stand outside smoking weed, no toilet paper inrestrooms , no tickets for games won, omg this place is a fuckimg dump.“

“Great burgers and crab cakes. Family friendly. Dare to try something outside the ordinary. Good food in a bowling alley restaurant! Wow! Private parties can be catered as well both inside the restaurant or on the bowling lanes with special set up! The chef can prepare whatever you like!“

“Was there for the first time for a 21st Birthday party and it was a 5 star experience. The husband and wife owners were amazing, all of the staff were friendly and helpful, the food not only looked amazing it tasted just the same. tgere wasn't a game we wanted to see that wasn't on a TV. definitely worth tge short drive from downtown Baltimore.“

“Nice friendly atmosphere. The food and steamed crabs were excellent. We were a party of 12 and our waitress, Barb, was very friendly and accommodating.“

“we went to this place for the first time tonight to celebrate my husband bday and support our favorite band Witness. Our waitress was outstanding! She was attentive, fast, got everything right, and just had a very pleasant and professional demeanor. The food was tasty and very reasonably priced. If you like chocolate and peanut butter, save room for dessert because that cake is to die for. If it wasn't a 45 minute drive for us we'd be regulars!“

“Excellent pit beef, large serving ,made to your liking,friendly staff and owner! We will definitely be back!“
