36 Best American Restaurants near Jarrettsville

“Food: The food at J’Ville Grille is always delicious. No complaints there - at all!
Atmosphere: Friendly, but it gets SO loud when it is crowded, though... Uncomfortably loud.
Service, however, can be hit or miss. Today I brought my grandsons and daughter-in-law for lunch. We arrived around 12:20 pm and seated ourselves. The restaurant wasn’t overly busy, though there were a good number of patrons. It was clear the gentleman working was handling both the floor and the bar, and was clearly understaffed, yet doing his very best. I was as patient and gracious as possible given the situation.
He took our drink order right away, and we placed the order for the kids right then. Their food came out almost immediately. Unfortunately, our order wasn’t taken until around 12:55 pm, when a younger female employee walked by and I politely asked if she wouldn’t mind taking our order, which she did.
We both ordered the raspberry chicken wrap (delicious!). She asked if we wanted fries with that, and I replied, “Oh, it comes with a side?” She confirmed that it did and verbally stated the side options out loud, but did not mention that any of the options carried an upcharge. Based on that, I chose the onion rings (also delicious!), while my daughter chose sweet potato fries, which were delicious as well — and a MUCH more generous portion than the onion rings, sadly. Did I mention they are delicious? :)
Once we received our food and were finished eating... I had to flag down an older female employee to get our check. I was surprised to see we were charged $4 per side. When I explained the earlier interaction regarding our sides, her response was simply, “Well, it’s on the menu,” delivered with an unnecessary attitude & look on her face like I was to blame. An apology of any misunderstanding and an offer to remove the up-charge, which I would have politely declined, would have been more effective & appropriate considering the cost of 10 slices of onion and one sweet potato... Is that REALLY worth insulting me?
That response, unfortunately, affected the remainder of the experience. I am someone who always tips at least 20%, especially when staff are short-handed and doing their very best, but in this case the lack of courtesy and accountability resulted in a much smaller tip than I normally leave. Truthfully, she's lucky I left one, at all, due to her attitude!
The food is consistently excellent and keeps me coming back. I just hope service consistency — and communication — improves.“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT TWIN SILOS!! The is Terrific, plus extremely reasonable!! The atmosphere is so cozy, like going over a relatives house, for a fine family meal! The waiters and staff are so Friendly and helpful .You will never go wrong eating at Twin Silos!!“

“Friendly host good times , great bands . Good bartenders and the food is delicious…..“

“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!“

“Good service and great food and drinks the food came out in a reasonable time and the waitress was knowledgeable about almost everything on the menu she gave suggestions and when we got our food it was great everything was fresh clean on point I definitely recommend getting the crab dip also.“

“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!“

“A old friend and I had lunch there today, and it was great! The food was delicious and we had the best waiter… Troy…. We loved sitting in a sweet booth ! I highly recommend the fish and of course the Carrot cake dessert!“

“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!“

“We recently had an early dinner at Sunshine Grille. The waiter was very kind, knowledgeable and attentive. And the food was amazing. I had the Salmon bowl and my husband had the pork chops! Oh, and the dessert’s! Of course we ordered a dessert to go! We’ll be back soon!“

“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.“

“We stopped by for lunch while we were out on a Sunday motorcycle ride. I got the Sunday pasta special and my husband got a chicken cheesesteak. Neither disappointed... food was delivered quickly with generous portions. I think it is supposed to be counter service, but staff was so attentive it felt like a sit down table service. Will be back again!“

“We had CR Wings for our Super Bowl Party on Sunday and they did not disappoint! Best wings you can find in Maryland. 200 wings disappeared in just minutes.. We were helped by Ethan, who was also wonderful. Highly recommend them. 10/10 and definitely 5 stars (if not more!!)“

“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.“

“Loved dinner tonight! Soft shells were legendary. Service was top notch (Reese is excellent). We will absolutely return on a regular basis. Great stuff!“

“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!“

“Best crabs hands down in MD“

“Love this place. The cream of crab is the best I’ve ever had and I’m a big fan of tomato basil soup too and this one is also the best I’ve ever had. The waitresses are very nice and the food always comes out correct. Recommend this place highly.“

“Just a good place to go for a good time-friendly staff. Convenient location!!“

“It’s one of the best local bars around. Good peeps“

“Great burgers and crab cakes. Family friendly. Dare to try something outside the ordinary. Good food in a bowling alley restaurant! Wow! Private parties can be catered as well both inside the restaurant or on the bowling lanes with special set up! The chef can prepare whatever you like!“

“I stopped by last weekend, cold and rainy. Really hit the spot! Great friendly staff , reasonably priced and oh that beef!“

“Cheesesteaks and eggplant parm are always �“

“Everything was clean and the workers were super nice. The food was hot and yummy. Amazing prices, especially right now. It's obviously not 5 star dinning, but it's good food and worth the money. Check them out if you haven't already. Oh and p.s. the ice cream is amazing!!“

“Jo is AWESOME! we love when we walk in and see her- because it means we will have awesome super friendly service! Very excited to hear they will be remaining open! Make sure you come check them out if you haven’t been recently it’s worth the visit!“

“Great crabs! Hot and lots of seasoning“

“Big huge portions of well seasoned delicious food for absolutely reasonable prices and their service blew me AWAY. From the hostess to our waiter, just the friendliest atmosphere. Such a cute place with plenty of viewing opportunities for whatever game you might be enjoying. I only wish we lived closer, we’d visit regularly.“

“Disappointed for the removal of the steak fajitas from the menu. They were the best. Still a great lunch and service.“

“Thank you SO much to Tim and the Birds Nest Staff for our amazing "The Nest" catering order. They were awesome to work with...it was pouring down rain and they helped carry stuff out to our vehicle and the food was AMAZING and the portions were huge!! Everyone commented and asked where we got it so hopefully you'll have some new customers!! Thank you again!“

“Food is always great and fantastic service.“

“I don’t know who needs to hear this, but their $1.50 mimosas and bread pudding with vanilla sauce are worth a visit for their Sunday Brunch! You will NOT regret it!!!“

“I had the best 60th birthday lunch with my Mom yesterday. Our food was amazing. My Mom raved about the California burger and sweet potato fries. I loved the beets which are my favorite item on the menu. The birthday dessert was delicious and decadent. Our waiter was awesome! An overall 10+ experience. Thank you!“

“My family eats breakfast here regularly. Quick, fun environment, good food and friendly staff. Today I visited with my nine year old daughter who broke her arm- every single staff member wanted to sign her cast and it MADE HER DAY! 😀“

“The food is always top notch here and I've been coming since this location opened 5 years ago.“

“Excellent service and excellent food 😊“

“Chilli’s has been spectacular lately. I’ve had 5 meals here in the past month in different locations. All have been amazing. 1 I had poor service. 3 amazing service and servers. The one time I ordered it for my family to be delivered, we didn’t receive my brother’s meal but I bet that was on the driver, not the restaurant. The burgers are amazing. Fries are best around and it’s not close. Their chips and salsa! Other restaurants need to ask for their chips. It doesn’t get better than Chili’s chips. Thank you for providing great food at a good price and plenty to eat.“

“Food has always been delicious. Our server Tiffany was wonderful. The grilled chicken with cheese LT and fries was very reasonable and tasty at $15. Unfortunately our app of Mozzarella Kabobs was quite small. Two skewers with 8 quarter size pieces for $12 was very over priced. Suggestion either increase the quantity of the app or please lower the price. Definitely will not order that again.“
