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.“

“Am I broke? Yes! Was the steak good? Pretty decent. I prefer my own steak at home so I can save some money but this was a nice experience for once in a life time. Not sure if I would come back again but I think if I had money I would go anywhere anyway so I would come back to try their other dishes. I liked the atmosphere a lot though, it was a good place to socialize with friends.“

“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....“

“Went earlier in the week for happy hour and had Meelena as our server…absolutely ask for her if you go!! Food is great and I loved coming here for the spinach dip and the great deal. But Meelena was so helpful and so sweet when I last went Ill definitely have to make this a regular spot!“

“1st time visiting the Turn House and it for sure was one of the best restaurant/Happy hour experiences I've had in a while..our waitress Ciara was beyond exceptional..from the moment she started our table waiton to the very end she was more than attentive, quick and extremely friendly...In addition to our delicious fare Ciara's hospitality definitely made the Turn House a great choice!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Really special spot. Delicious food, wine, and cocktails. What stood out the most to me was the absolutely fantastic service. Hannah is probably the best server we have ever had. They make everyone celebrating a special occasion feel special. We will definitely be back.“

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

“Meal was incredible. The concept is really smart. Service was the best I’ve had in Columbia since moving here a year ago. Patrick provided stellar service as did all other staff from bartender, server and host. We look forward to coming back to explore their whole drink menu and partake in their perfect, generous, palate delighting meal.“

“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 👍👍“

“I've been here once before and I enjoy it very much. I got a steak breakgast burrito for myself and my mom a tuna salad sandwich. The burrito was delicious and my mom really enjoyed her sandwich. The only thing I added to my burrito wss some hot sauce -- and then it wss perfect. I love this place and I love the service. Side note: the Orion sky signage always makes me a bit nostalgic for Okinawa.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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! ?“

“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!“

“I ordered the meatloaf sandwich and tater tots, with spinach on the side. The tots were a little too crispy for me and there was too much oil on the spinach. However, they tasted fine, so not a big enough issue to complain about. The meatloaf sandwich was tasty. It has two thinner than expected slices of meatloaf, which worked perfectly. Better than one thick slice. The ratio of bread to meat was great in my opinion. You're not overly stuffed after eating this meal either. I have also had the Shrimp and Grits here previously and that is a definite recommendation.“

“Best Burgers and the bread pudding dessert was so yummy.“

“Great live music venue - lovely community!“

“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.“

“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)!♡“

“💎This place was an unexpected surprise.😳 The food, the drinks,🔥 the atmosphere,🔥 the service,🔥 this place was firing on all cylinders.😁 They have a spacious outdoor patio with both covered and uncovered areas. Plus they have a fire pit.🔥To top it all off, they sell cigars that you can enjoy outside on the patio.

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

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

“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.“

“2nd year attending a NAMI event held in the room on the 2nd floor. Nice space - consider some type of adjustable shade for the latest afternoon sun.
The blackened salmon over asparagus and rice was delicious - servers managed three courses seamlessly.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Kingston Arbor is one of the best Jamaican restaurants in the area! The food is absolutely authentic, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. From the perfectly seasoned jerk chicken to the delicious oxtail and curry dishes, every meal is packed with rich Caribbean flavors that remind you of home.

The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the quality is consistently outstanding. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and provides excellent customer service, making every visit enjoyable.

The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, and you can tell that a lot of care goes into every dish. If you're craving authentic Jamaican cuisine, Kingston Arbor is a must-visit. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing food, great service, and a true taste of Jamaica.

Definitely a 5-star experience!“

“Taylor P was an amazing waitress! She made sure to check on us throughout our meal, so we never had to look around for her or ask for anything. She was so sweet, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of. She really made our dining experience enjoyable. If any of you all come to BJ's in Columbia, Ask for Taylor P she's great!“

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