“Great food and cocktails with vegan options! Restaurant is always spotless and service is super friendly! Authentic cuisine in a fun and friendly space. Great prices also!“

“My first visit here and I was absolutely blown away by every aspect .... the service, attention and graciousness of the staff is well beyond 5 stars. Juanita recommended so many things to help make my experience so enjoyable. The food was outstanding! She recommended the buffet so that I could try several things I was interested in. Others on the staff showed me some presentations for the way some items are traditionally served. What a wonderful dining experience in Bel Air! Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“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!“

“A great place to eat, drink and be with friends“

“So sat at the bar with my son. Enjoyed a few beers they had an early bird bar menu. Got the sliders they were the best I’ve ever had! Cooked medium perfectly fresh rolls. Crab pizza was excellent! Also, had the truffle fries. Everything was fantastic! My son and I talked about it all week couldn’t wait to come back the following week. So, following week we go back get the French onion soup it was so so I’d give it a 6 Out of 10. Ordered the sliders they came out well done the rolls were stale so they tried to heat them up that didn’t make them fresh now stale and burnt. Now the week before they didn’t try to toast the bun because they weren’t stale so they didn’t need to mask the bun! This was a tell tail they knew the buns were trash! So 1st visit was a solid 5! 2nd visit was barely a three. We will try them one more time I hope they get it right this time“

“The atmosphere when you come in is akin to an old style Italian eatery. The restaurant feels very comforting and inviting, with wonderful employees greeting you right away. definetly recommend for the food but also the atmosphere and wonderful employee demeanor. 5 stars. p.s. the bbq chicken pizza is amazing, big chunks of chicken and wonderfully crafted.“

“I’ve been coming to Naz’s for a while and it’s usually the only place open after I get off work. The workers are always super nice and the food is definitely worth every penny. It’s very accommodative and you can adjust things just how you like it, plus the fact it’s ethical is a major major plus. I’ll definitely be loyal to Naz’s for a very very long time.“

“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.“

“Great Ramen! I forgot my biker leather jacket there about a month or so ago and I had got all the way back to my desk at my job when I realized that I left my jacket at Akira Ramen. I raced back there to get my jacket mostly because my car keys were in my pocket. I was panicking because my car was parked in a pay for the day public garage. I when I arrived the staff returned my jacket to me with my car keys in the pocket. Not only is the Ramen Great, the staff was good enough to hold my jacket for me until I returned. Thank you very much for the experience, I will return soon.“

“great food and service.“

“Excellent food for a great price. The restaurant is very clean with fabulous service. Lovely family runs this small business. Check out their Specials. You won’t be sorry.“

“Kabob Korner has quickly become my new favorite spot. Back to back days now, and I have to be careful bc it’s THAT good! The lamb kabobs were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor, and the steak kabobs were just as impressive. Both were tender, juicy, and seasoned perfectly.

The staff was incredibly friendly and patient as we worked our way through the menu and asked our questions. They greeted us immediately and made us feel welcome right away.

Great food, great service, and a great overall experience. Highly recommend Kabob Korner if you’re looking for delicious food in Bel Air!“

“The Power Lunch Specials menu is a bargain at $17.77. The Meatballs & Polenta are excellent. This is 3/4 of the normal lunch menu portion, but is very tasty & extremely filling. The fried calamari is heavy in batter & needs all the lemon juice you can squeeze onto it. The dipping sauces have a lot of hot peppers in them, & are both really spicy. Penne Caprese is fresh & tasty. lovely lunch. Unfortunately, portion sizes vary from day to day. Ask for a full portion. Fettucine Genovese is extremely flavorful. The rich flavor of the cheese enhances the braised beef--a good dish. The coffee had a nice flavor but was watery. It would be much better if they used more coffee.“

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience at honeygrow! The food here is always incredibly fresh, wholesome, and packed with flavor, but what really made this visit stand out was the exceptional service.
A worker named Eli went completely above and beyond to help me out. I was having trouble deciding what to get, and Eli was incredibly patient, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He walked me through the different stir-fry and salad options, offered some amazing customization recommendations, and made sure everything was prepared exactly to my liking.
It is rare to encounter that level of genuine hospitality and helpfulness these days. Eli is a massive asset to this team! Between the delicious, high-quality food and the top-tier customer service, I will definitely be a regular here.
Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“Great fun, friendly atmosphere but most importantly best authentic Mexican food! Recommend this restaurant to all my friends“

“Plaza Mexico never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. My absolute favorite is the quesadilla with beans and rice — it’s so delicious every single time. The quesadilla is perfectly cheesy and cooked just right, and the beans and rice pair with it perfectly. Whether you’re craving something comforting, authentic, or just seriously good, Plaza Mexico is always the move. Great service, great flavors, and always hits the spot! 🌮🤍“

“we had never been there before today. A friend recommended them. The berry salad is perfection! Turkey sandwich with cranberries and brie, perfection. Everything we got was delicious and they answered our questions without tude. everyone was so kind and helpful. our new favorite salad and sandwich shop! thank you guys for a wonderful experience ❤️“

“My husband and I have dined at Basta Pasta on numerous occasions, preferring to sit at the bar, and have never been disappointed. The service at the bar is excellent and the food is delicious. You get a lot of bang for your buck with the salad and breadsticks with the meal too. Drinks are always well made and we are never left waiting long for refills or food. The entire staff are always top-notch and on top of everything, professional, hardworking, and polite. We appreciate this local restaurant and will continue to frequent it. Desserts are also delicious. Also, the coffee drink I ordered had real whipped cream which was impressive.“

“Always a great time. Awesome staff, Family friendly, great beers, and Fanta local music support! Thank you IBC!“

“My son for the 1st time ordered crabs from Jax’s and they were the most delicious crabs we’ve eaten . We will most definitely return to buy more! The taste was next to none!! Whatever you’re doing please do-not EVER change.“

“I got carryout and placed my order online and received a little online discount. I've been here a few times over the years and the food is always excellent. When I went in to pick up the food I noticed they had remodeled inside apparently a couple of years ago but it's very nice inside!“

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

“Though the staff was a bit slow, that criticism is totally knocked away by how good the food was. It was the best Thai food I've had in Maryland.“

“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 just had our first of many dinners at Island Spice. The lamb chops, rasta pasta, and drinks were outstanding! The service was excellent! We’ll definitely be back soon!“

“Fantastic salads and wings“

“On July 25th I ordered 1 doz. Large Steamed Crabs ($95) from Madonna Seafood. Madonna "used" to be the best place for crabs. They were always consistently seasoned well....that was not the case yesterday. This dozen was completely dried out...they were either VERY overcooked or my guess is they were re-cooked. Definitely not worth $95....please retrain your steaming team or you will lose business. i will be going elsewhere.“

“The golf and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. The golf course was in great shape. I didn't find myself in the sandtrap for once, so that helped my positive review.

The menu had a nice variety of choices. I ordered a Reuben and a reasonably priced margarita. Both were tasty. We had 11 people at our table and they were all happy with their food selection.“

“An unexpected hospital stay changed our plans for Valentine’s Day, but a week later we were able to do carry out. I had the Linguine Primavera with EVOO and my husband had the Chicken Marsala with fettuccine. The meals were fresh, flavorful and seasoned perfectly. Warm soft crusty rolls added to our enjoyment. Portions were so large, it provided a second night’s dinner! This wasn’t our first meal from Acapella and they have always been on point. Will certainly be back!“

“I hosted a corporate dinner party at Boordy last night, and it was my first time being at their facility and getting to experience what they offer. After a miscommunication between myself and the (external) caterer, who was providing food for the event, I was left scrambling to figure out how to accommodate all of my guests in a very short amount of time. Grace and Carly immediately leapt into action and saved the day, no questions asked. They went above and beyond to help out, never once stressing out or making the inconvenience seem like an inconvenience. It was top notch service from both of them all night and extremely appreciated! The wine was wonderful, the space was great and I can't say enough good things about the service. Thanks again Carly and Grace!“

“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.“

“Cheesesteaks and eggplant parm are always �“

“I’m a sucker for good outdoor seating and food is always delicious! I love that it’s kid and dog friendly too 🥰“

“Great food and drinks. Friendly folks.“

“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.“

“The stuff was pretty good. I just wish that the green tea ice cream tasted more like green tea. It was like poorly hidden vanilla ice cream. Still pretty good though. The crispy string beans was good, but man did it need some salt. Anyways, there's probably better stuff to eat, but my experience was alright.“

“Thank you SO much to Tim and the Birds Nest Staff for our amazing "The Nest" catering order. They were awesome to work with...it was pouring down rain and they helped carry stuff out to our vehicle and the food was AMAZING and the portions were huge!! Everyone commented and asked where we got it so hopefully you'll have some new customers!! Thank you again!“

“So I've gone to this place twice, this week. it's the only 2 times I've been and both times it was outstanding food. The first time I went in this week it was almost closing time and all of the product looked as good as it does, I'm guessing, when they open. Normally by the end of the night it all looks like garbage at most places but not here. As someone that has spent years managing a Ruby Tuesday and trying to keep that salad bar on point, well this place could teach all restaurants how to have beautiful product to work with. Tonight was no different. I did order online to pick up in store and everything still looked great and again outstanding quality product that is so good I had to take a moment and slow down so here I am. You guys have a family for life that will gladly eat here on a regular basis.“

“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.“

“We used Margherita’s Pizza of Kingsville to cater our daughter’s birthday party and everyone raved about how good the food was! We had chicken parmigiana, Caesar salad and rolls that were all amazing but the absolute hit of the party was the Crab Chesapeake Pasta! It was to die for! There was so many giant chunks of crab meat! And it all just came together perfectly with the sauce! Everyone asked where we got it from and when I was packing up the leftovers, I even had some guests ask if they could take a little bit home too! Highly recommend!“

“From the moment you walk in, you feel at home. The menu offers a variety of delicious options, all made with fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure your meal is perfect. I'll definitely be back!“

“I’ll be honest, I was both excited and skeptical about trying Wonder when it first opened. The whole concept seemed a little strange to me, and I wasn’t sure how it would actually work. Since they were offering 50% off for first time customers when I went, I figured it was worth a try.

We ordered a pizza from Alanza, a double cheeseburger from Burger Baby, and a Build Your Own Bowl from El Diez. Funny enough, the burger, which was the item I was least excited about based on how it looked, ended up being my favorite. It was honestly one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. The pizza was a little overdone, but I actually like my pizza that way, so no complaints there. The bowl was good too, though I felt like it was missing a little something. Maybe some extra lime or cilantro would have given it more of that fresh Mexican flavor.

I’d definitely come back and try some of the other restaurants they have. I also really liked the atmosphere. It was quiet, clean, and didn’t feel chaotic, which was nice. The kitchen area looked especially clean, which always leaves a good impression.

If you’ve been curious about Wonder and are looking to try something different, I’d say it’s worth checking out, especially while they’re offering 50% off for new customers. There’s a huge variety of food options, so it’s easy for everyone in your group to find something they’ll enjoy. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and left more impressed than I expected to be.“

“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!“

“The food is always good at this location. They seem a little short on staff, but that is certainly understandable due to the fact that Harford Mall is in decline. IMO, they cant afford to have more staff due to lower traffic. The upside is that you rarely have to wait to be seated.
I really hope that they will be able to survive in spite of reduced traffic at Harford Mall.“

“Disappointed for the removal of the steak fajitas from the menu. They were the best. Still a great lunch and service.“

“First time trying this restaurant. I was in the area for something else and searched for food near me. The wonton soup was so flavorful along with the crab Rangoon. I love that I get the option for brown rice with my main dish. I went back again.“

“The BEST chicken caesar salad with actual, homemade, caesar dressing!“

“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!“
