50 Best American Restaurants near Fort Meade

“Food is of a wide variety and very reasonable prices.“

“Ordered the army breakfast. Eggs were over done, sausage was under cooked and the entire meal was cold. Could have had a better breakfast at a homeless shelter. First and last time.“

“The only time better than their food are their bartenders. Great job!!!“

“I see a lot of these are older reviews and I don’t know if they have since gotten a new chef in the last 3 years but the food is phenomenal and I’m very picky! I look for things to not like and this is my second time here and can’t think of one bad thing. Service is good, but the food is literally outstanding. The mashed potatoes had great flavor as did the veggies - my steak was a tad overdone but it was so tasty it didn’t matter. Crab cake was filled with delicious lump crab! And it had flavor too — I also tried the Korean short ribs on special and they were just SO GOOD! The drinks are also delicious! And I stare at the dessert case every time I come in but I’m always too full to order anything. I guarantee they’re also to die for! Great place!!“

“Great home cooked food, locally sourced! Nothing like homemade ice cream!!!“

“We enjoyed a perfect evening for my son's rehearsal dinner! Blackwall Barn and Lodge is a great place to hold any event! Danny and the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. The food was beyond amazing. I wouldn't hesitate recommending the restaurant/Lodge to anyone. Love the atmosphere.“

“Thanks for making our Thanksgiving Dinner!“

“Stopped by for a late outdoor dinner. Ordered at the window and staff was amazing and friendly. Amira was especially friendly. We were devastated you ran out of cotton candy ice cream, but we still had a great night with great service.“

“This is the first time I went to this restaurant and was very pleased with the service, the food was great and we received our food fast. It was very clean and all the employees were very friendly. I will be returning for another great meal.“

“Excellent dining experience once again! Our first time there was about a month ago and when our waitress walked by she recognized us! Very impressive ?she said she's a school teacher and is used to memorizing so many names and faces. I forgot her name but she's a very nice person! We came in for our wedding anniversary last evening. Caroline I believe het name was took cgood care of us. She was very sweet, professional and attentive! The food was excellent. My husband had the salmon BLT which he enjoyed and I had the Bistro Steak Frites and it was perfect and delicious just as it was the last time! The gentleman who was assisting the staff ( either owner or mgr) very kindly came and replaced my dish with the correct one. Someone else had ordered it but to a different doneness. The entire staff was warm and friendly, from the servers to the mgr, owner, and hostesses. We will definitely be back and want to bring our friends whom we told about your restaurant. Keep up the great work, Ashling!“

“The best kept secret in Howard County!“

“I took my boyfriend out for a father's day dinner last night at this great new restaurant to us. Wait was only 10 minutes. Very nice decor. Love the ceiling and lighting. The cocktails were spot on! The food was delicious. But above all else, our waiter, Nick, was the best part about this. He had great energy and attentiveness. He had the funniest quips and took care of all of our requests. Thank you Nick!“

“For as expensive as it can be to order food for a family from here, we do expect warm and fresh food. our food was barely room tempature and definitely old fries. The ice cream had hair in it. This place has gone down hill fast. Would not recommend.“

“Ignore the exterior, this is the place for breakfast! My wife and I were in the area one day by chance and wanted something not-a-chain-restaurant for breakfast. A quick google search found this little diner tucked away on Camp Meade Rd.

It's not much to look at from the outside, which made me optimistic because some of the VERY BEST food comes from these little dive looking places and LL did NOT disappoint! It was clean, VERY reasonably priced, and clearly a local favorite. Obvious regulars had a fantastic rapport with the staff. Food was served quickly and virtually perfect in all respects.

Very much worth tracking down this little gem, and will absolutely eat there again next time we're in the area!“

“Delicious food and great service“

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.“

“We recently celebrated my parents' 70th anniversary at Kings Contrivance Restaurant, and I can't express enough how wonderful the experience was. The entire evening was perfect, from the warm and inviting atmosphere to the impeccable service. Richard, in particular, was outstanding—he answered all of my questions and ensured that everything was just right for our family gathering. The food was outstanding—every dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, making our celebration even more special. My parents were thrilled to have the entire family together for this milestone event, and they couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful the restaurant was. If you're looking for a place to host a special occasion, I highly recommend Kings Contrivance Restaurant. It was the perfect setting for a memorable night that our family will cherish forever.“

“We enjoyed a lovely brunch here on a beautiful Fall day. We loved the historic building and the lovely treed grounds surrounding it. The food was outstanding and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend!“

“I LOVE their wings. Way better than Wingstop in my opinion“

“Great food and drinks. Staff is friendly and accommodating.“

“Very cool experience! Got to take photos with the knights afterwards and the fights were amazing! You are given a specific knight to cheer for based on your seating section too. They have a net that comes down to protect the audience during the fights due to flying debris. It's a bit hard to hear some of the dialogue sometimes due to the crowd cheering, but you understand the majority. Overall a very unique and fun way to have dinner with friends in general or to celebrate an event like a birthday.“

“We all really enjoyed our food today, we got the liver and onions, fried chicken dinner, burger with mashed potatoes and corn on the side to go. The liver and onions was excellent and so was the service. Christine took my phone order and waited on me when I arrived to pick up the food. Great personality and customer service. Thank you we will be back“

“My wife and I went there on a whim cause we were bored with the other places we normally go to. We both were pleasantly surprised! Definitely will go back again Tasty food good atmosphere“

“I stopped by this spot for brunch with some friends. The wait time was decent when I arrived, but this place gets packed quickly. The food was pretty good, I tried the eggs benedict and they came out perfect. The home fries were good as well. We were served well and attended to thoroughly by the staff. Overall, this spot was good and will def be going back!“

“It’s a chill place to be at this time a day the food is great anyone and everyone come to Ale House“

“Great atmosphere and nice music!“

“The lady who took my order was friendly I got a 6 inch with provolone cheeses and grilled onions cause I wasn't sure if it was gonna be good well,It was seasoned juicy and Delicious so I will be back for a 12 inch double the meat and different toppings.“

“Spurrier's Restaurant and Lounge has an incredible view and surroundings from both in and out. I just spent but a day there, and I had an incredible time. The surroundings were neat and there were ample parking lot. Staff were polite, professional, and helpful. They do sell snacks. A special occasion gave me the chance to visit and to explore what do they offer. You can book a reservation. Stairs and elevator are available but I prefer using my legs. You can't miss it. It's within the city, and businesses are all around. I didn't order any food from there, so I don't know how their food taste, but what I can say is that the occasion I was invited to, the food was great. The food is more traditional based on the event. But overall, the staff were excellent and they did their very best to get everyone situated and to feel at home. ?

Parking: Parking was free. There are ample parking lots. There are bins, recycle bins, stationed there for bottle glasses. For further questions, call the library. You can find their phone number at their website.?

Kid-friendliness: Yes, kids are always welcome with a parent or with a guardian.

Wheelchair accessibility: The sliding doors are automatic for wheelchair accessibility if using the library. However, the Trail is not ideal for wheelchair accessibility.“

“Pats is our go-to never lets us down dinner option. We've been eating there for 6 years now since we moved to the area and I've not ever ordered something I didn't like. Not to mention that they give huge portions which I think is commendable seeing as so many of the restaurants right now are making you pay more for less due to shrinkflation.

Like I said we love everything but their pasta is amazing my husbands favorite is the chicken parmesan and mine is a tie between the spaghetti and meatballs or the chicken burrito bowl. Oh and if you like delicious things go ahead and tack on one of those desserts lol.“

“The fish was amazing and the jazz room is the perfect vibe for a first date or a cocktail with best friend! Absolutely loved it“

“I had a wonderful experience at dennys Thanks to Eunice it was around 1 am and she was very attentive we had some dinner the food came out quickly and hot and she make sure we have all great service“

“the people there were absolutely the nicest to our family. the food was magnificent!! thanks for a good experience!“

“I’m not super into BBQ, but Iron Flag BBQ has changed everything for me. The brisket was tender, pulled pork was to die. The Mac and cheese surprised me the most, hands down the best Mac and cheese I’ve had! Highly recommend!“

“A restaurant inside the Double Tree hotel. It was not busy, and service was prompt and efficient. The food was just okay. The menu has a few choices in each section of appitizers, soup and salads, sandwiches and dinner entrees. The buttermilk chicken patty on the sandwich was a bit tough and tasted like the meat had been frozen. The crab cake was good, with fresh crab and not too much filler. The old bay chips had a flavor that did not appeal to me“

“While I visited a few years back and loved the scrapple egg and cheese that I got and the plentiful selection which they had, when I went back a few days ago after dropping off family at the airport, they sadly appeared to be closed; hopefully not for good 😢“

“The first time here, I went to see this awesome band Remedy. The atmosphere was so fun. I loved that the tables were not bunched, plenty of room. I had a Southwest Salad, one of the best I ever had. ? I will go back again just for that salad. I tried the pizza ? as well, very good. Check this place out..“

“Really amazing 2:30am meal! I def want to check it out in person. Love that the bread was high quality grain not white. Reheated what we couldn’t finish the next day, as good as fresh with our air fryer ????I would recommend giving it a try, Esp if you’re in the mood for some comfort food.“

“Tasty food and great service. Highly-recommended.“

“The food was excellent!! When we went in, there were some people who needed extra help, and the staff took great care of them, which is something I don't see very often. I will happily give this place five stars and as much business as I can!“

“Went to WNB for the first time this past weekend and I was pleasantly surprised how delicious my meal was. I ordered a steak burger with fries and a drink. The burger was full of flavor and very tasty. The fries were the best I’ve had in a very long time. I will definitely be grabbing lunch there again in a few weeks when I’m in the area. I definitely recommend visiting for a good burger and fries! They have delicious sweet tea and wings too.“

“Food never disappoints, the service is great, specials they have always are delicious! Great place :)“

“We walked into a clean restaurant. Immediatky greeted and sat. Everyone was smiling. The server was very helpful and suggesred great options. Our food came on a robot followed by the manager herself. THE FOOD WAS PERFECT! the bathrooms were clean and we were very impressed!we will back often!“

“First time dining there!! Food was great, all fresh, tasted good! Definitely will be back!!!! I got the chicken cheese steak deluxe... was well worth it!!!

Parking: Can be very challenging to find parking, especially during the lunch rush. Have patience, it's well worth it!“

“Always great food, but really enjoyed the entree sized wood grilled tenderloin steak salad tonight. First time ordering their entree salads and will definitely order again. Steak was cooked a perfect medium rare. My husband also enjoyed the cedar planked salmon. The gf turtle cheesecake was delish and dainty as usual, so no calorie concerns. Yum.“

“Hubby and I enjoy the salads from here. They have standard salads but you can also customize them. As well, the employees who work there are always nice and helpful.“

“Imo Famous Dave's has the best barbecue food! We had the All American Feast with brisket, chicken, ribs, pulled pork, and all that comes with it. Service was great (thanks Joe). Always a pleasure eating there. Sorry, forget to take pictures.“

“This Yard House has a fantastic bartender in Sean. we are from NY and he was super personable, made effort to chat with us directly. Really fun personality. Guys like him are hard to find. This particular Yard House is very very lucky to have him , great dude.“
