“Ordered carryout for a birthday party at a local venue and coordination was so easy. Food was great and ready on time and I felt really well taken care of! Even though some items I wanted weren't on the brunch menu they let me order in advance and go off-menu. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent“

“Amazing food, great area and atmosphere“

“There are not enough stars in the sky to give this place. Talk about creating fantastic dishes they make such wonderful flavor combinations. They use fresh ingredients it’s very evident in the high quality of food that they provide. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing and the vibes are indescribable. My waiter was Jimmy today I ordered the Halibut after I asked what it was 😂😂😂. He told me it was delicious and one of his favorite fish. The man was spot on it was absolutely amazing how every was seasoned and grilled to beyond perfection. My girlfriend ordered the Chicken Chesapeake it was an absolute hit.I don’t know which one was better but I’d love to have a serving of either one again anytime. Oysters were perfect this place has quickly become a huge place of interest. We both look forward to returning and I will suggest this amazing food to anyone. What great food and a great time.“

“Great place to enjoy live music!!!“

“We get carryout dinner here at least 1 night a week. We love all of the Greek dishes, crabcakes, soups, salads and desserts. The turkey and hot beef platters are also very good. (Ask for gravy on the side.) I have never had anything I didn't not like.“

“Staff and service is superb with great recommendations. Food is really good. Ambience is very nice inside. Prices are affordable, and you can get some of their wine and food to take home if available in their store next door. We took home the honey nut jam that we had with our cheese board for desert and loved it. We can have at home now too with some of the wine we brought home.“

“Had a great meal with my wife“

“Tasty, affordable, premade meals and goodies. Absolute gem here in Parkville. Will be back frequently.“

“Great little place that serves up some really delicious food. Their food isn’t fancy, but you come here not for presentation but for flavor. Their burgers hit the spot, and fries are well seasoned. In my opinion the pit beef could use a little more seasoning… but the barbecue sauce elevates it and the quantity you get in those sandwiches makes it worth stopping by.“

“Honey glazed salmon was amazing“

“August 24. Five of us came to enjoy lunch together. Very disappointed. My ultimate grilled cheese was not ‘ultimate’. Very little cheese, no tomato, and crab cake/meat was sub par. Another lady received the wrong lunch and then had to send back her lunch when the correct order was brought. Another lady had to send back her hot fudge sundae. We were told the hot fudge was made last week! It would have been nice if a manager had come to our table. Have been coming to Manor Tavern for decades and have never been so disappointed. Am coming again in September. Hope things are a bit better!“

“DELICIOUS 🤤 MOUTH-watering! Professional catering! ( plus, the restaurant is a daily must). 🤤“

“Had a great time at J'Ville Grille! The sister duo, Callie and Miranda, made the experience exceptional. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming—highly recommend asking for them if you're stopping by. Great service all around!“

“everything is delicious! getting the NY strip with crab cake, to the pasta, the steak tacos, the burgers and crab dip. everything we've ever gotten has been amazing 💪💪💪“

“Fave Lunch : Carolina Dog, Bowl of Bean Soup, Hot Fries with Gravy and Hot Sauce. Almost Heaven... Been coming here since 1955, with my Dad, when dogs were fifteen cents. Now I bring my Grandchildren. Food is a bit more, but the memories, great food and ever welcoming staff have kept me and hundreds of other locals coming back for the best comfort food around. Definitely give it a try... and look for my name on the tables in the back...Kids go right to it. lol“

“It was our 1st time dining and everything was great! Food and atmosphere was great, Especially our server Taylor!! He truly was one of the best servers I have had in any restaurant in a long time!! He was so fun and personable!“

“Home cooking. Staff is friendly and helpful.“

“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.“

“I love the vibe here. This restaurant is set to be like a ski lodge. Some tables have ski lift seats! It is a large venue that is broken into sections, making it feel small and intimate. The food is amazing and the main reason to try this place. My favorites include the burgers, mozzarella balls, and the crab? Corn chowder. When you do, I know that you will return. The servers are great as well.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Went to the Essex location and Amanda was working. She is always working when we go and is always so friendly. Great customer service always!“

“The golf course was in great shape.“

“The food and service was wonderful.... cook did not originally prepare my wife's meal right but it was taken back without incident and prepared correctly and supplemented with extra toppings as a bonus. Overall, would definitely go back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Love, love, love this little place!! My absolute favorite place to get a cheesesteak with fries, and will happily drive the 20 minutes it takes me to get there. Their hours are limited, so I haven’t had any of their breakfast items, but I’m sure they are good based on the items I have gotten from here so far. The owners are friendly and hardworking. Please support your local hidden gems!

“food is great as always never disappoints“

“Had brunch there this morning and it was super yummy. The only complaint is that the bar chairs are not comfortable. I was in jeans and I was constantly sliding forward. I used my feet to push me back on and hold me there; I shouldn’t have to engage my muscles to sit in a bar chair. Other than that, it was great. Good food, good service, and good bartenders.“

“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.“

“It’s been over 30 years since I moved to FL. I was so disappointed that
Friendly’s closed a lot of there locations. Thank God we found the one in the Harford Mall still open. My son absolutely loves ice cream. Thank you Friendly’s for staying in business and the great friendly service.“

“Best crabs hands down in MD“

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.“
