“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.“

“From the moment I stepped through the doors, it was immediately clear that this establishment operates on an entirely different level. The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional—elevated in both flavor and presentation, rivaling even the most renowned culinary institutions. Every dish was a harmonious blend of creativity and precision, truly exemplifying top-tier gastronomy. What impressed me even more, however, was the service. It transcended the standard of hospitality, offering a level of attentiveness and professionalism that felt both effortless and sincere. The staff anticipated needs before they were expressed, creating an experience that was as seamless as it was memorable. In all sincerity, this is one of the finest dining experiences I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. A rare combination of extraordinary food and impeccable service, it’s a restaurant that sets a new benchmark for excellence.“

“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.“

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

“Once you try one of the Sunshine Store's sandwiches, you will wonder why it took so long to try one! 😊 My husband and father in law introduced me to this hidden pleasure the first time I visited the area. We started with breakfast (tasting the local culinary treasure of scrapple), then I was introduced to their burgers on the same trip, and I was surprised that everything is cooked to order. I have not found any burger yet that is close to comparison!! My husband's family has made this a regular stop for sandwiches over several decades and generations. My father in law (nearby farmer/owner of Greenstone Custom Farming) has eaten there for several decades along with feeding his crew from this hidden gem, this has been a favorite of my husband's since he was old enough to eat there, and now it is a favorite place for our children to eat with grandpa. The store is small and with limited seating, it would be best to order the food to go or if you are eating alone you can sit at the counter and watch your food be prepared. A must try in the area and definitely worth the drive through the beautiful countryside!“

“I recently hosted a large party here, and the staff were easy to work with and accommodated our large group. It was the perfect setting (both inside and outside). The cocktails and food were awesome, and the staff was friendly.“

“Our second time here and I want to return and try more yummy food. So many original items on menu, it’s hard to choose. My sandwich was amazing. The fries are fresh and hot. I’m glad music wasn’t as loud as our previous visit in summer. I hear the pizza is delicious. It’s so great to have something close to us out here in the “country “. I like supporting local businesses“

“The atmosphere and staff here are top-tier EASILY a 5-star experience on that front alone. The vibe is warm, creative, and welcoming, and the service was just as impressive. However, when it comes to the food, I’d say it was just okay. Nothing I’d send back, but also nothing that made me want to rave or insist someone else try it. I went on a Saturday morning for breakfast, so maybe lunch or dinner would be a different story. I’d absolutely return, if only for the ambiance and experience.“

“Clean, friendly, and welcoming establishment. The food is super delicious and service is fast, despite how busy it can get!

This is a perfect brunch spot if you're in the mood for some good American breakfast food!!!“

“Originality I was ordering food for a sick friend and her kids from a place that she recommended, It was a relatively small order (1 adult, 2 kids). The price they quoted was ridiculous, so I called Arirang Hill Carry Out, and their price was great, the portions were large, and the food was ready fast.
IF I had gotten food from the original place, the order would have been a total of 10 wings, 2 fries, and rice for almost $35. At Arirang, I got MORE THA. DOUBLE the amount wings, 2 fries, and rice for UNDER $30.
The staff is very respectful.“

“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.“

“Love the atmosphere. The band was pretty good. Great food options and entertainment. Some of the menu items have nuts added which seem unnecessary. They should consider removing the nuts from the lobster dish.“

“Wonderful experience. We loved our waiter, Gabe. My husband and I made reservations for our anniversary. He told us congratulations and offered us each a complimentary glass of champagne right off the bat. We soon had warm bread brought to our table and then we ordered cocktails and two appetizers. All delicious. Baked brie was phenomenal. My husband had the filet mignon & I ordered a ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection. After we were nearly stuffed, Gabe offered us a complimentary dessert to share. Overall an amazing experience. Cozy atmosphere. Excellent service and the food came out quickly. Highly recommend this place. We will be back!“

“beautiful view, good food, nice selection, well prepared courteous and friendly staff relaxing atmosphere“

“We had a celebration hosting around 20 guests here. Overall, the process was smooth and we had a fantastic time thanks to the manager who helped us with our planning.

The servers responsible for our room were attentive, amicable and knowledgeable. Their flexibility with the table placements and how we’d execute the champagne opening meant a lot to our family. The only caveat I will point out is that the signature lunch for the group menu is on the healthier side. It may be a better choice to go with their regular menu if you have numbers of children attending your event.“

“Smoked Salmon was delicious. We dipped the bread in the Musssels. Pork and Steak cooked perfectly.“

“The best sausage gravey ever. I ordered eggs over easy and actually got eggs over easy. That's rare these days. Definitely worth a visit.“

“Mothers Day lunch at Corner Stable in Columbia was excellent The staff and owner are always so friendly and the food was excellent. The Mother’s Day combo consisted of a 6 oz filet which was amazing, shrimp and a crab cake and it did not disappoint. we were a table of 12 and service and meal were excellent highly recommend this location. If you would like a relaxing environment with friendly people and excellent food give them a try“

“I love this place!! The best fried chicken and Cole slaw I have ever had and I’m not a big Cole slaw fan! I live in WY now and I miss this place so much. No where has better chicken. Atmosphere is amazing. I used to work for the old owner and the new owners are friends of mine and they are boosting Harvest up even more! Highly recommended!“

“Good food awesome location on a nice day you can eat outside.“

“it's my favorite restaurant in the world!!. .❤ Only one concern: I wish they would stop using plastic. Plastic pollution is damaging the environment and all beings on this planet.“

“I never believed my life will change in such a manner. I saw a review on Facebook about Mrs Craig Vanessa trading skills and before then I have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because I think I was so wise and never want to be cheated but when I contacted Mrs Craig Vanessa, she explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit I can make within a week I was convinced to give a trial and risked to invest $1,000 and I made a withdrawal profit of $9,000 within a week. I am so happy that I trusted her and she didn't fail me. You can reach her through WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Your sign is blocked by trees. As first time visitors we drove right past even though gps said we’d arrived. Had to call from the car to get directions. Also need a sign for location of your handicapped ramp. It too is hidden from view.“

“The Nordstrom Cafe has the absolute best service! The entire staff is always friendly, accommodating and the food is always fresh & taste amazing! I can’t say enough good things about this place. Always a great experience! 5/5 stars! ?“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Walrus as usual. Their shucking raw bar is the best. Seafood is always fresh and delicious. Their staff are friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Aaron was no exception. We went for Chesapeake Oyster week and half price on raw bar Tuesday so we enjoyed a great meal at a fantastic price. Highly recommend, going back real soon.“

“We were in the area and found this place during breakfast hours. Visually the place is very clean and welcoming. The staff were friendly and the food was great. The pancakes were amazing! They were light, fluffy and generous in size. 3 pancakes and 2 pieces of bacon for $8.99, a steal these days. They have a few baked goods that I also grabbed (yet to try), but they looked so good. If we are in the area again, I'd love to try their lunch menu and would definitely come again.“

“Was in ellicot city and was searching for a quick eat out place and saw this in google .. reviews looked good and thought of trying .. the inside of the pub wasn’t high end .. was normal and old styled bar . Amazing service . Loved their smile and quick service .. they had few IPas and beers on tap. Drink was awesomeee . Ordered sweet potato fries .. it tasted great .. nice quantity for the price . Wings was ok. The sauce in the wings was sticky and could have been better .. we still loved it overall. 4 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We have been there a dozen times or so. The food and service is always Amazing“

“Another successful event held at Bushel and a Peck. This time we were in their smaller private room. They also have a fantastic, large private dining area, as well as outdoor seating. I highly recommend them if you are looking to book a private party or corporate event. Or just a date night or client meeting. The staff is great, the venue is beautiful and the food is amazing.“

“Went out for breakfast and Saw this restaurant. AMAZING food, service and atmosphere!!! Food was delicious, cute decor, so clean, owner was so kind and generous!! A must for everyone!! We are going to be regulars for sure!!“

“My friend and I had lunch there yesterday. We were looking for a place that was quiet so that we chat and hear one another. As the weather was very hot we sat inside. Our server was very attentive and the food was delicious. My friend had the crab cake sandwich and I had the chicken filet sandwich. Both dishes were wonderful and we each took half our sandwiches home. We shared the three-scoop gelato, which was superb. I would highly recommend The Turn House.“

“We were here for the M3 after party on Friday night and the staff were all friendly and amazing. We had the sound rocking, the place was packed and the service was still fast. Great Venue with in minutes of Merry Weather Post Pavilion We look forward to working with you again for future events.“

“Daily was an AMAZING server. Great service, amazing with ll the customers around!!! Great Sunday NFL experience with the family all around!!!!!“

“Someone need to give that man Thaddeus a job and pay him what he deserves as kind a respectful as that young man is it a shame to see him being mistreated and underpaid if anyone is looking for a amazing worker who is always respectful go here and find Thaddeus and offer that man a better job“

“Great food. The service was great and a comfortable atmosphere“

“My first visit at this location and it was wonderful. I picked a great day to come in with my family for breakfast because there was no lunch rush, no long wait to rece
ive my order and the food excellent. My favorite meal is the veggie egg white omelet and the protein pancakes. My server was courteous and welcoming. My children even gave him 2 thumbs up each and said they enjoyed their birthday cake pancake breakfast. I will definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again.“

“Main event was a meeting point for my best friend and I to have some fun family time with both of our families today. We were greeted with a smile by Chris Smith at the counter who was very helpful in getting us organized with cards to play the arcade games and set up for bowling. He went above and beyond to help explain how main event worked since it was our first time there. When we got to the bowling alley, we were greeted with another smile by Day. She went above and beyond as well to take our orders and help us when our balls got stuck at the alley. The food and service was good. Thank you to Day and Chris for making our first experience wonderful. We are looking forward to coming back with our families in a couple of months.“

“Best experience ever. Definitely worth the trip“
