New American Restaurants near Laurel, MD

“The food and drinks were great and so was our bartender. I didn’t get her name but she was a beautiful blonde. Thanks sweetie!“

“It was a very chilled experience. I enjoyed trying all the different food and even having the desserts. I would recommend this to anyone in the Virginia area to take some time and visit the area as well as trying the restaurant.“

“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....“

“Reece was the holy savior of our day. That man ain’t server worthy he manager worthy. Mans did everything right and quick considering how busy the place was. Everyone needs to get in his section he is the best server by far in any restaurant I’ve been to.“

“Haven't been here in around 3-4 years but was pleasantly surprised by the food here. Tried the Chilean Seabass and the pork chop and enjoyed them. Ambiance inside was nice for a group setting. Our server was very kind and was very accommodating for my Mothers birthday. Only gripe I had was a 22% service fee for parties of 6 or more which is a little higher than standard.“

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

“Enjoyed salmon and the Caesar salad with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand. My husband had the Chesapeake and a bowl of onion soup. We were served by Ethan who’s an awesome waiter. I can’t say enough. Love it.“

“Good breakfast and fun with the juke boxes.“

“We had the most delicious dinner this evening! Our server, Lorri, was very attentive and so personable. The food was simply outstanding! We had the calamari, fried cauliflower and whipped ricotta appetizer. All were so delicious and the presentation was lovely. For dinner, we sampled the burger, chicken Marsala, and Porchetta. Each was unique and so tasty. We finished with homemade raspberry sorbet and the somores dessert which were both very yummy. The cocktails were also very good! I can’t believe we didn’t find this “gem” earlier!!!! We can’t wait to come again!!!“

“I got an opportunity to visit the Turn House over the weekend. Who knew this gem was in Howard County. It a cozy place with a view of the golf course. You can enjoy your meal inside or eat on the veranda. It was perfect for my small party of three. The Faroe Island Salmon dish was delicious with tender fish, creamy potatoes and tasty string beans. The kitchen team were on point with the appearance of each plate. Our server, Lexy, kept us hydrated and took our order right away. She was friendly, informative and helpful. Two of us had allergy issues which she made sure to let the kitchen know. We were treated to a little birthday treat from the kitchen and enjoyed a glass of champagne from the manager. It was a perfect day. Thank you Turn House for making our September birthday outing extra special.“

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

“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.“

“Blown away by how great our event was. Long time patron moved to Florida 6 years ago. Looked for a venue to host a surprise 65th bday party for my wife with 35 attendees. I could not have been more pleased! Great menu, food drink and service were top notch. If I could give 100 ⭐’s I would. Jeanine and her team were fantastic! Highly highly highly recommend!!“

“Great vegan food. Just had a special broccoli appetizer. Yum!!“

“I’ve heard so much about Medium Rare, so I finally had to give it a try and it absolutely lived up to the hype!

The atmosphere is super chill, the vibes are great, and the entire staff was fantastic. Our server was awesome, and the manager stopped by a few times to check on us, which was a really nice touch. He even hooked us up with some of their seriously tasty bread to take home!

The steak, fries, and salad were all amazing. We also tried the eggplant, which is their vegetarian option, and honestly, it was really good too.

Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Overall this is a good place to have Happy Hour. I am super disappointed that the charcuterie board was taken off the menu. It was the best! Bring it back please!“

“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 loved Burton's in Riverdale Park, MD! food was delicious and very accommodating to allergens. extensive gluten free menu including wings, fried calamari, pasta, crispy fish, crab cakes, and more. everything was delicious and our server was super nice as well. wish there was one of these in Union County, NJ! So amazing to know all their food is made from scratch 👍👍“

“The food was amazing and the drink was sooo good!!!!!“

“Good beer abd good food. It's similar to other pubs in the area. Their collection of beers is pretty good and there's something for everyone. The food is better than at other similar locations. Other locations give you more appetizers; here you have access to a more complete menu. The food is also fairly priced, which made it more comfortable to order multiple items along with out beer. Ordered 4 beers and 3 entrees between 2 people and paid $71 before tax and tip. You can order at the bar or at your table via a QR code, can also pay directly from your phone. Staff seemed pretty relaxed, which helped make the atmosphere overall be pretty laid back. Saw a lot of people actually enjoy conversation without being obnoxiously loud even with sports bent displayed ay the bar.

Will definitely come back.“

“The people are so nice here, and the food is delicious!!! :-)

“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!“

“The best kept secret in Howard County!“

“Best steamed dumplings and wonton soup/egg drop wonton soup around. Dumplings are made in house and are full of meat. The wonton in the soup are full of meat too with a great broth. I haven’t been disappointed with anything there but those soup and dumplings are my go to dinner and it hits the spot every time.“

“A WELL-ESTABLISHED & RUN PLACE! "ED'S" The Man, and really trys to appease his Customers!And although he and his trustworthy staff have to 'deal' with their share of 'characters', they manage it all with finesse and alacrity! GOOD JOB, GUYS(& GAL)!♡“

“First time here service was great server would great she would check up on us food was well season and tasty. We love eating at place that offer pichers of margarita and this place makes it just perfect.

Vegetarian options: Beans , rice , salad, just a few things that I can see of the top of my head

Kid-friendliness: Don't have kids but there were a lot of families here when dinning.“

“Great live music venue - lovely community!“

“The place doesn’t look very presentable, but as they say, you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. The food and atmosphere exceeded my expectations. Food came fast and delicious. We try so many dishes with co workers and everything was 10 out of 10 ...“

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

“Dope chicken with mumbo sauce. I go here regularly.“

“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.“

“The food was good and the service was great!“

“A hidden gem, we had a Large Party of 8, Mother’s Day with no reservations. After being turned away from 2 other restaurants, no seating. We came to The commons. Where we were welcomed to a spacious table. Great, no fantastic personal service from Sayeed & staff. Good food & drinks. Nice atmosphere, I most definitely will be back. Oh did I say there was no crowd, which allowed us to just really enjoy our Mother’s Day Lunch.“

“Had a good experience at this pub after watching terps basketball. Granted it wasn't packed at the time but the bartenders were attentive and friendly the beer selection was decent and the bar food (buffalo/burger lug nuts) was tasty.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Mariana was so good to me! I definitely would recommend this location because it’s super spacious. & you should sit in her section bc she made sure to get all my condiments/ refills upon request, was super friendly & personable! Next time I come I will definitely be requesting her again.“

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

“We always have the best time and experience when we come. Alfred is THE MAN! He has the most awesome personality and gives top tier service! If you come to BJ’s ask for him, you won’t be disappointed. I look forward to every time we are coming. Thank you Alfred for always being the best!“

“We stopped in to grab some extra food after we couldn’t get French fries at Morty’s, and we’re glad we did. The service was excellent , I even saw a team member step in to personally help a guest with the self-order kiosk, which was great to see. Friendly and attentive staff made it a really positive experience.“

“Nice atmosphere! Over priced for 1 side. I ordered the stuffed salmon. It was served with the black skin on top with tasteless crab meat on top of that with 4 Asparagus for $38.I do recommend the steak. That had flavor and was good. It took a while to get my glass of wine. When I got it a gnat was floating in it. Out waiter was funny and perfect!“
