50 Best American Restaurants near Glenelg

“our daughter called from Calif to purchase gift card for my hubby's 80th b'day. they hand delivered to. our house since USPS couldn't get it here in time. Now THAT is SERVICE!!!!!“

“The food was amazing. Very cool little Main Street place.“

“Wonderful first experience. Invited to attend "Seniors Don't Eat Alone" waiter Kevin was very attentive, knowledgeable and understanding of Seniors!!! Our second experience, was again great. We joined "DINE OUT MARYLAND" and saw Libs Fulton was on the registry. Four of us had reservations at 4:00 we asked to be seated at a 6 top and the hostess just smiled and seated the 4 of us. Then noticed that Kevin was once again our waiter. He took the drink orders perfectly. Unfortunately, my BEEF & BURRATA was tepid at best. Kevin nicely removed and had remade without issue. The MOD brought my diner back pipping hot and apologized with a smile. Prior to ordering, we had inquired if the Dine Out MD was accepted and provided our ID. Keven again handled. Next another personable young man brought back the bill and spoke with us. He was informing us of the upcoming expansion of the Libs restaurants. He stated he was going to be at the new location in Towson. Great experience. All three individuals showed great customer service. BTW - our food was delicious....“

“They have a small parking lot but we ended up ubering this evening. We didn't have a reservation (Friday evening 7:30 pm) and we were able to get a seat right by the door. They were definitely very busy but our server was still attentive and friendly. My friend ordered a flight of wine and I ordered a glass of the Poggio Le Volpe, 'Roma Rosso'. The wine, as always was delicious. My friend ordered the IBWC Fall Burger and I ordered the Grilled Bistro Steak Frites. The Steak was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. We had also ordered side Caesar salads. It was restaurant week and neither of us opted into the the 3 courses for a price option but our server did kindly inform us that she grouped it that way to help us save and include the dessert. We ended up getting the Nutella dessert (I don't recall what it was called). While the presentation wasn't great, it was very good and I would recommend it.

Wish I lived closer so I could come here more often but it is one of my favorites in the area.“

“Enjoyed having brunch here! The mussels were delicious and we had excellent service from Logan! Food was brought out fresh & hot, drinks were cold & refreshing & dessert was worth it! We will be back! Thanks!“

“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 food, staff, and atmosphere is always great.“

“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!“

“Friendly staff and management who care about their customers and their food and drink. New and imaginative and tasty offerings 2x a week. Every changing beers on tap with some standards to satisfy almost beer drinker. Sunday Brunch starts at 10am with some really good brunch and drink options.“

“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.“

“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“

“I love this place. I have been going here since the early 2000s. Their mambo sauce is incredible. Its just a shame I moved 2 hours away and can no longer get the mambo sauce. I tried store bought and its crap compared to their mambo. I gotta figure out the recipie so I can make it at home and not drive 2 hours just for a mambo cheesesteak“

“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!“

“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.“

“We enjoyed brunch today to celebrate my niece’s birthday. Katie was our server. Four adults and two children. She was friendly and efficient. Awesome food and the service was impeccable. Thanks, Katie.“

“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.“

“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“

“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 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Had my daughters baby shower there on Sunday, Feb 22nd... Totally exceeded my expectations. We had the absolute best server, Lilly. She got everyone drinks upon their arrival and kept them all filled throughout the event...all by memory I believe. The food was fantastic...gotta say best Crab Dip around. Trevor was amazing and checked in multiple times to make sure everything was going well. I will definitely use Maggie's again for future events and would highly recommend them.
Thanks again Maggie's Staff and especially Lilly,

Cathy Virtz“

“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.“

“Best experience ever. Definitely worth the trip“

“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.“
