“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“As a couple that semi frequently travels and have been to Cracker Barrel facilities in multiple states. On 1/11/2024 we ordered breakfast and waited in less than 16 minutes our meal was served and it was the best meal we've ever enjoyed everything was hot and tasty even the coffee. Great food great service great experience keep that cook happy and you'll stay busy. 😀“

“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. I try the various forms of cheesesteaks every time I go and my wife gets the Country Club Wrap. The place is all-around a great place to relax and enjoy great food!“

“I came here with my daughter for a character event and they made her feel so special. The food was great and it’s family friendly. Love this place!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We stopped by for lunch while we were out on a Sunday motorcycle ride. I got the Sunday pasta special and my husband got a chicken cheesesteak. Neither disappointed... food was delivered quickly with generous portions. I think it is supposed to be counter service, but staff was so attentive it felt like a sit down table service. Will be back again!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Best crabs hands down in MD“

“Love this place. The cream of crab is the best I’ve ever had and I’m a big fan of tomato basil soup too and this one is also the best I’ve ever had. The waitresses are very nice and the food always comes out correct. Recommend this place highly.“

“Loved dinner tonight! Soft shells were legendary. Service was top notch (Reese is excellent). We will absolutely return on a regular basis. Great stuff!“

“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.“

“Cheesesteaks and eggplant parm are always �“

“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!“

“Riverside Pub has fantastic food and staff. The private room is perfect for events, and I even attend Trivia night there on Thursdays. Dana does an outstanding job keeping up with the crowd. Great atmosphere overall.“

“Jo is AWESOME! we love when we walk in and see her- because it means we will have awesome super friendly service! Very excited to hear they will be remaining open! Make sure you come check them out if you haven’t been recently it’s worth the visit!“

“We had another great experience at bob evans! I went to first watch last week for breakfast, it was subpar service. Quality of food did not equal the price.
Thankfully bob evans provided great service and great food for a great price!“

“Great crabs! Hot and lots of seasoning“

“A big shoutout to Fast Eddie’s Catering for making my mom’s birthday super special! The food was amazing, just like always, and everyone loved it. Their pick-up platters are the best!

Truly a gem in the city—highly recommend India Garden if you want the real taste of India!“
