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!“

“I had the best 60th birthday lunch with my Mom yesterday. Our food was amazing. My Mom raved about the California burger and sweet potato fries. I loved the beets which are my favorite item on the menu. The birthday dessert was delicious and decadent. Our waiter was awesome! An overall 10+ experience. Thank you!“

“My family eats breakfast here regularly. Quick, fun environment, good food and friendly staff. Today I visited with my nine year old daughter who broke her arm- every single staff member wanted to sign her cast and it MADE HER DAY! 😀“

“10/10!! The food was absolutely incredible - me and my husband each did a prix fixe dinner pairing with wine and were 100% satisfied with our food selections and the wines. Flavors were complimented perfectly with each wine pairing. The scallops entree - NO NOTES!! We will absolutely be coming back! I noted on our reservation that it was our anniversary - not only were we seated with a glass of Prosecco for celebration, but our server Brady went a step further and made our dessert special with a happy anniversary message. He was absolutely wonderful and the service was top notch! We can’t wait to return!! Thank you!“

“Amazing food, great area and atmosphere“

“food is delicious, excellent portions for the price!“

“This was a very nice breakfast spot went with my grandma on a whim after looking for places to eat. The tropical elixir was refreshing, the warm spiced milk (I believe that’s what it was called) and the decadent hot chocolate was very good as well! The steak and eggs were pretty good I’d probably get something other than that if you’re used to good steak and eggs. But my grandma loved the avocado toast she got.“

“This stand is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk up, the smell of perfectly seasoned beef sizzling over the coals hits you — and it only gets better from there. I ordered the classic pit beef sandwich, sliced to order and piled high on a fresh kaiser roll. The meat was tender, juicy, and had that perfect bark on the edges. I topped it with their house-made tiger sauce (a killer horseradish-mayo blend) and a little onion — simple, but absolutely packed with flavor. Service was quick, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their meat and the experience they’re giving customers. Sides were solid too — especially the hand-cut fries, which were crispy and golden. They are the closest to boardwalk fries that I have had on this side of town. Prices are very reasonable for the portion size and quality you're getting.I'll definitely be back!“

“We recently had an early dinner at Sunshine Grille. The waiter was very kind, knowledgeable and attentive. And the food was amazing. I had the Salmon bowl and my husband had the pork chops! Oh, and the dessert’s! Of course we ordered a dessert to go! We’ll be back soon!“

“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.“

“Amazing. the wait staff was very attentive and very friendly. kitchen staff was on point with everything we ordered. everything was perfectly cooked and tasted fantastic. The cocktails were great too. Can not recommend enough.“

“Home cooking. Staff is friendly and helpful.“

“Outstanding food with a great cozy atmosphere. I have lived in this area for 27 years. Clean and friendly customers, owners and staff. Shrimp and grits, one of my favorites.“

“This was my husband and I's first time at McFauls. We came for a late lunch and chose to eat at the outside bar. The menu, food and prices were all amazing! 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.“

“I recently dined at your establishment with my fiancee ..... I ordered the filet minon medium/well and it was cooked perfectly. we will definitely be back!“

“We've been here a number of times. Typically it's because of a soccer event, and not by choice. I don't particularly like the food. The only restaurant i know that won't cook a burger to a desired doneness. Every time i see an order or side of fries, it's like they're from the bottom of the bag. Small little potato bits. Have to eat with a fork to get enough to fill my mouth. Service is hit and miss, especially when you're stuffed in the back dining room.“

“Enjoyed the delicious Maryland Club sandwich and a tasty Caesar salad. Ms. Rachel and the wait staff were amazing and welcoming. The Brunch Menu offers a few tasty options, as well. No matter what you choose, your meal will be a joy to your palette. Will surely return soon.“

“American Base Wing, Edgewood is absolutely amazing! Their Party Wings are always crispy, juicy, and full of flavor — once you try them, you’ll definitely come back for more.

The best part? 40% OFF on Party Wings every Monday and Tuesday! You won’t find a better deal for this quality and taste.

The staff is friendly, the service is good, and the overall experience is always excellent.

Highly recommended! 🔥🍗✨“

“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.“

“A old friend and I had lunch there today, and it was great! The food was delicious and we had the best waiter… Troy…. We loved sitting in a sweet booth ! I highly recommend the fish and of course the Carrot cake dessert!“

“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.“

“Good service and great food and drinks the food came out in a reasonable time and the waitress was knowledgeable about almost everything on the menu she gave suggestions and when we got our food it was great everything was fresh clean on point I definitely recommend getting the crab dip also.“

“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!“

“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“

“IND Luncheon class of "71. The food was excellent, and the service was very good. The ladies were all saying how good the food was! We did in March and coming back in April. I would recommend Bowman. I eat there every Monday in the bar. I am never disappointed.“

“Best shrimp salad!!! You can purchase by the pound. Nice option for those of us watching carbs“

“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!!“

“We recently had my dad’s 65th birthday celebration at Della Rose’s and the entire event was made easy from start to finish. The staff made planning everything from menu options to space for the celebration effortless. During the celebration, staff was attentive and made sure everything was as we wanted. The food was incredible from wings (crowd favorite), sandwiches, wraps, paninis to various sides. Thank you to everyone at Della Rose’s for helping making our celebration perfect! If you are looking to have an event somewhere that works with you, makes the event effortless to host, and makes you feel like you are family, Della Rose’s is the place to do it.“

“The food here is always excellent. My favorites are chicken tikka masala, chicken saag, mango chicken, channa masala or chicken basil curry. The cheese naan and garlic basil naan are always spectacular. The servers are efficient and attentive. Can't say enough good things about India Garden!!“

“It’s one of the best local bars around. Good peeps“

“I recently hosted a surprise birthday party for my best friend at Silver Spring Mining Company, and I truly cannot say enough amazing things about our experience. From the very beginning, the entire team went above and beyond—but the real star of the show was the manager, Keith. He didn’t just help coordinate the event—he genuinely cared about making it special. He offered creative ideas like incorporating decorations and even setting up a slideshow, which made the night feel so personal and memorable. When I ran into technical issues with the slideshow (of course, right before the party!), Keith didn’t miss a beat—he went out of his way to find an outside tech person to help get everything up and running. That level of dedication is rare, and it meant the world to me. The food was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive. Everything came together perfectly, and my best friend was completely surprised—it was a night we’ll never forget. Thank you to Keith, Gary, and the entire team for making this celebration so special. I would 100% recommend them to anyone for both events and casual dining. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – 5 stars all the way!“

“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.“

“Good food and great service“

“Fresh cut fries are AMAZING. Food was all fresh and delicious“

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

“Breakfast was really good, very nice staff, comfortable setting. Love the stuff on the wall“

“Fantastic spot ! DJ approved, Definitely worth a visit. Friendly service.“

“Big huge portions of well seasoned delicious food for absolutely reasonable prices and their service blew me AWAY. From the hostess to our waiter, just the friendliest atmosphere. Such a cute place with plenty of viewing opportunities for whatever game you might be enjoying. I only wish we lived closer, we’d visit regularly.“

“I went there with 3 of my kids after a soccer tournament. We were greeted and sat immediately. Our waitress Samantha was kind and quick to take our order and anything needed while we ate. Chris ( another worker or perhaps manager there) slipped me a piece of paper asking if it was okay to surprise my kids with ice cream after they ate. I also noticed a special needs woman in the booth next to me who had ordered, then asked a dessert to be removed from her order because she said " she could not afford it". I saw that the staff comped her dessert and treated her with kindess and respect. All around I was impressed with the staff, their caring nature. The food was also great! If we are in the area for a tournament, I will defintely come back.“

“Cheesesteaks and eggplant parm are always �“
