33 Best American Restaurants in Hagerstown

“Riks is a total star. When you're standing in front of the restaurant you're in a parking lot of a an old shopping center. Once inside you're in a contemporary bar and restaurant. I believe that much of the work in creating the space was performed by the then staff, many of whom worked together with owners at a prior restaurant. The food is wonderful, creative, fresh and satisfying. My favorites include a smoked salmon salmon carpoccio (sorry about the spelling). A great selection of salads with the ability to. add to them crab cake chicken etc. The sandwiches range from a Reuben to a grilled mahi mahi .My favorite when I want a substantial dinner is their short ribs and mashed potatoes. Writing this review has just made me hungry. Guess where I'm going for an early dinner. Prices are VERY reasonable“

“Love the Broad Axe! The chefs and bartenders are great! And I really enjoy the live music nights. 🎶🎸🥁“

“Wife and I came across this place after a long day. Great food and awesome outdoor dining and bar area. Karen was wonderful and attentive. She always checked on us and even laughed at my lame jokes and was fun about it. You get a well balance of great food, price and atmosphere. They have a fun menu too!

Thanks Karen for helping us end our day on a good note! 😀“

“This is definitely one of Hagerstown's hidden gems. Dressing up close to business casual is ideal here in my opinion because the atmosphere feels first class and it is not a loud space. It is also relaxing because you can view planes coming and going here and there through the big windows they have. The staff are very helpful and polite and the food is amazing. The Seafood Boule appetizer was like a crab dip and the bread was a perfect match. The B-52 burger was kind of sweet and savory with a delicious pretzel bun and a nice crunch with the deep fried bacon. The Mile High Club was a perfect ratio of all ingredients and enough mayo so it wasnt dried out. The Creme Brulee special flavor of the week was vanilla, and tasted sooo good. Runways has a great looking menu with a respectable price range. The parking lot is a little small and a reservation might be ideal at certain times. I cannot wait to go again!“

“We had dinner on the weekend. Great Food and service“

“Had me a burger over at Jenny’s Restaurant, and I’ll tell ya, it was mighty fine eatin. Patty was juicy, bun was soft, and they didn’t skimp on the fixin’s. Fries come out hot and crispy just like they oughta be. Service was friendly too, folks checked in to make sure I had what I needed. If you’re hungry for a good ol’ burger, Jenny’s is the place to stop.“

“We had a large family party there and our party was seamless! Our waiter and waitresses (particularly Ashley and Kirby) were wonderful at accommodating a large party including children. We had a great time with everyone. I do need to add that the bar staff was not friendly, and when ordering bar drinks while prepping for the party we were asked to stay in our room and not ask her. She also did not seem to be friendly or helpful to fellow staff, but maybe that was just me. Overall great food and a great experience, minus one person :)“

“Me and a group went there for karaoke. Beautiful place, prices seemed a little high but the food was phenomenal so we didnt mind. I had a prime rib sandwich with fries and 3 domestic beers was about $32. Waitress was very friendly and gorgeous. There are booths , tables and a bar also a nice couch lounge area in the back the seats were all padded and comfortable we were there for many hours singing so that was an important key takeaway for us. With it being downtown there is limited free parking we had to park in the parking garage around back I think that was about $8 for about 4hrs. Overall this place should succeed in the future I'm not a snob when drinking but the drink menu looked like it could accommodate anyone's tastes or preferences. Excellent place for dinner, date or on a night they have entertainment.“

“Great food. We get breakfast because thats what we like to eat. Club sandwiches and burgers are great also. Heather the waitress was the best“

“Wonderful food. Great service.“

“Visiting Antietam battle site on the way to Gettysburg. Great location with a fun brew pub, sports bar and Starbucks in the same shopping plaza. Clean and quiet room, comfortable bed, nice shower, helpful friendly staff. Wish all hotels offered window spray and paper towels available to clean car windshields.“

“Beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was delicious, homemade, attention to detail, loved it!“

“I got the Pesto Panini and my wife got the Cabo Sandwich. My son got a 10in Pepperoni pizza and my other son got a Quesadilla. Everything was amazing! We have been customers for 15 years. We have never had a bad meal from Cafe del Sol. This where we take family when they visit from our of town!“

“We decided to have HBC cater our lunch meeting today and did NOT disappoint!!! Sandwiches were amazing, boxed nicely and the fruit tray and broccoli salad were superb! Also a very special kudos to the young persons that delivered! Very professional, well mannered!! Thank you for making our lunch meeting a success!“

“Stopped in for dinner food was good but service was great thanks to Mary!!!“

“I got a to-go order & the Server/Bartender was on point. It was kind of hard to pull up a menu, so she helped me pick out the top flavors quick & easy for a wing order (my fav). Then upon arrival, I accidently had my card turned off and instead of her coming back telling me how it was denied - she knew what was up ... or atleast gave me the chance vs embarassing me. I just thought that was so sweet how she handled it... kudos. It seems hard to find decent customer service out here these days! She made it seem so easy ❤️“

“We traveled to Black Rock to meet up with family last evening. The food was delicious as usual, but what really stood out was our amazing server Erin. She went above and beyond. What a joy, you are blessed to have her as part of your staff. Highly recommend the food and the experience!“

“My husband and I came into Cracker Barrel for dinner. Seth was our server and waited on us the entire time. I just wanted to let you know how friendly and attentive he was to us. Dinner was an especially great time meeting with Seth and he provided outstanding service. The food is always good at Cracker Barrel and Seth was a pleasant surprise. Looking forward to coming back and we will be requesting Seth again as our server.“

“Friendly service staff both bar and floor“

“Great ownership. Friendly Staff. Amazing food. 🤘☺️“

“Ben and Tay were fabulous and very prompt. Super friendly and informative about the menu. First time back in years and now we will definitely be back more often! Please make the boils a permanent menu option. That's literally the reason we come. Lol.“

“My wife and I had a delicious meal , as always. We were served by Allison , her service was excellent and very efficient. As an employee , I hope she is appreciated.“

“A great time. Good people,great music!!“

“Wings are smoked and nice and crispy, fresh cut fries, and onion rings are great. Definitely coming back. Paige was awesome!! She does it all and does it well!“

“Our server Kyle was great! They were able to make me foods safe for me to eat due to my food allergies (THANK YOU!!). Others in my party loved the fresh, homemade rolls (I’m allergic, so couldn’t eat them, but they looked amazing!).
The only downside was the extra long wait. We were told 30-40 minutes, but the wait was over 50 minutes. It was the day after Valentine’s Day, so I’d guess this wasn’t normal. You can make reservations online, I’d highly suggest it!

Dietary restrictions: I let them know my allergies and they worked to make me a great meal!“

“My go-to restaurant. The food is wonderful and the service great.“

“My wife and I ate lunch there today, and the food and service were excellent.“

“It's a Waffle House!!!!! But the food is really good! I got the chicken bowl and had them add a couple of eggs... it was really good! Hubby got their steak and eggs... again... really good! Any time we're traveling, we'll stop at a Waffle House!“

“Had a wonderful experience here with a family breakfast. Our last visit, not much so. The server then served us our banana nut bread still in a plastic box, no butter and no plates. Wish I remembered her name. Her service in general, left much to be desired. However this visit was so much better! Meagan took great care of us and not just plated our bread, but she pre-cut and served us. Its the little things like this that make all the difference! We absolutely will ask for Meagan here on out. She was such a great personality and so attentive!“

“We love visiting here and usually go every Sunday that we can! We like to ask for Keisha to be our server. The food is always amazing and Keisha is a wonderful waitress! Can’t wait to go back“

“Went to Primant's tonight. Food and service was excellent. We will definitely be back.“

“Went November 2025. Molly was our server which enhanced our experience. We both had the fries and burgers. I had the sweet potato fries and had caramel to dip. The burgers filled the buns and was very tasty. Spectacular service. Molly was very friendly and attentive. The dinner was even better knowing your server was checking in. She did check in multiple times to see if we needed anything.“

“muy buena atencion y los platos exquisitos lo recomiendo“
