23 Best American Restaurants near Leonardtown

“The service was excellent, the food was delicious. Fine dining at it's best. Definitely will be back.“

“Best homemade pumpkin pancakes around!!!!“

“Olde Town Pub We have always loved The Pub, so since we were getting married down the street, we decided we wanted to have our rehearsal dinner here. The staff gave us the entire outside area on the left. We were catered to, taken care of, and fed with amazing food. The wings are always delicious, the drinks are consistently rotating to try new beers, and the staff is always kind and helpful. You can’t go wrong going here for any reason!“

“I hate that they close during winter. I found this place online on a fluke and me, my husband and friends go all summer long. I've read prior opinions and every restaurant has a hiccup or bad day from time to time with help or ability to replenish product. It's beautiful there on the water, watching birds dive for fish or sailboats in and out of the cove. The breeze blows as you eat and toast your friends with a great cocktail. I give a ten-plus for this treasure to visit. If you haven't been there, you're doing yourself an injustice. Fitzies, Leonardtown, high five!“

“The Ironwood is the restaurant/pub attached to the Breton Bay Country Club golf course. I'd call it a pub in the sense that it's more of the family and friend meeting place than a country club restaurant. We've been down there for years as they host the community Christmas tree lighting where Santa visits to throw the switch and visit with all of the neighborhood kids. Food is standard pub fare with some more deli style sandwiches and service is perfect. If the Ironwood comes back as an option when you search restaurants, don't ignore it. You'll love, especially in the warmer months, the chance to eat outside with a view of the golfers wasting all of their good swings on the driving range.“

“Absolutely love the concerts and events being held. Adding to the charm of the historic district.“

“This is our second time at The Local and we loved everything,the waitress Hailey is amazing,her suggestions , attentiveness and politeness are unmatched. 😀“

“Today was my first time - service was excellent super friendly. Food is fresh prepared exactly as the description, I got an iced coffee, also delicious. The restaurant itself is spotless, clean super, plenty of space for meetings, small groups to meet. 10 out of 10. Definitely will be giving it another try.“

“From their signature St. Mary's County-Style Stuffed Ham (Big fan of the egg roll version) to the irresistible homemade Rum Cakes (Vanilla and Strawberry flavors are delicious!), they offer some of the most unique and delicious food, snacks and desserts in the whole county. Made even better by the amazingly friendly and helpful staff, WJ Dent is an absolute gem!“

“Food, service and atmosphere just can't be beat. But we love going to eat at Abells because of the awesome people inside.“

“I had an incredible dinner at this restaurant during my recent road trip. The steak was grilled to absolute perfection, super juicy and seasoned beautifully, and the loaded baked potato on the side was delicious. The atmosphere inside has a really cool western vibe with dim lighting that makes it feel cozy, and our server was so fast and friendly that we never had to ask for a single drink refill.“

“The absolute best service by our waitress, who catered to our every need! Great conversation with the owner, Annie, It’s so nice to meet the people behind the scenes!
Food came out in amazing time and had a great experience sitting at a high top table in the bar area!! Here’s a few pictures of our delicious flounder sub, Shrimp and scallop skewers special. The delicious crab dip was not in any of our photos because we ate it before we could take a picture!“

“This is going to be lengthy so don't read if not interested in a Birthday Party review. I contacted Guest Relations on Thursday, confirming in Person on Friday, confirmed Catering on a Saturday, & had the physical Ten years Young B-Day party 🥳 on Monday 24Nov25. The Store Manager must have seen the panic on my face. Inclement weather in bound, Solomons park not feasible for a party. Last minute moving in doors, strict budget. Mom wants to thank all kiddos that arrive with a $5/6 dollar thank you gift 💝 from the CB store. Manger so personable & helpful, the kind Gentleman's name is Khari/Kari? I walked through what I believed a group of TEN ravenous energetic boys plus parents would need. The Holiday Berry punch tea (Adults table) was delicious, want to use as a base for cocktails 🍹 at some point. Pitcher of Lemonade for the kids. Platter of sliders X2. No problem with me bringing in cupcakes 🧁 with candles, budget saver. IN THE MOMENT, added a tray of Crispy Dippers. Three of the B-Day boys friends, don't like burgers 🍔. So much chicken on the tray, everyone got two pieces. We were the back corner of the restaurant. A table for gifts & logistical setup. A kids table, a two tables consisted of the Parent Table. Napkins, cups, plates, goodies bags, balloons, coats dump. We brought table wears for Birthday theme & easier recycling ♻️, wasn't going to have some poor soul washing what this ravenous crowd put away other than pitchers of drink. Long table made of three he personally pushed together. We have never had more than two guests show at any previous party 🎉 because of close proximity to travel holiday. We had ten sitting at the tables with the Birthday boy. Also room for platters & cupcakes, out of reach until time to plate & share. When my lighter failed to ignite, manager let me borrow bic from fireplace. Also handed me a cup with an inch of water. When the candles kept re igniting... Into the cup they went, he obviously has done this before. Unbeknownst to Mom/Dad older siblings had swapped B-Day candles for trick candles. While kids were playing with bouncy blow up balloons awaiting arrival of last guest (I was stalling for time) several cups were knocked over. Mya B our Hostess/Server didn't miss a beat... extra napkins at the ready. Didn't know at the time but Happy Birthday 🎊 Napkins shred like confetti 🎉 when wet. When amped up on B-Day Sugar, she placed pitchers of water front & end of table so the wolf pack could detox. All told, food/Drinks, was $80!! This included location, staging, prep time, hearding cats to rest room. Male head unknown to me, Female Head immaculate. Also the hour plus it took for Ten Boys to pick under $7 toy. The apologies continued to flow. All staff helpful, kind, understanding, consummate professionals. I need to return as every visible trace we tried to remove of our being there a ketchup got swept up into the carry out boxes. Catering came with lids which were stackable perfection for leftovers. This Veteran Momma with a port and an MBC diagnosis knows that birthdays are precious, not guaranteed, & fleeting. So thank you 🙏🏽 to the army of everyone that made this possible. Even the dinner guests on the other side of the restaurant were so thoughtful to wish him Birthday Blessings 🗽🕊️⚓️🎗️This will be an Inside Out, core memory I will forever cherish. Thank you 🥹 to Cracker Barrel for returning us to a little bit of everyday normalcy & an exceptional gathering. 🫰🫶🏽👩🏼‍🦲❤️‍🩹“

“Melissa was our waitress, and did a superb job. The pizza was spot on with much flavor, and excellent cheese and crust! The lumpia was our starter choice and very delicious. We look forward to trying the burgers and chili on our next visit. Definitely 5 Stars!“

“We had a wonderful experience at IHOP! The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. A special thank you to Joaquim for being so friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit last Memorial Day. He made sure we had everything we needed and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate the excellent customer service and will definitely be coming back!“

“My go to…great crab cakes, crab dip, steak sandwich. Blackened fish, deserts and drinks!“

“The food gets an A. The service and the atmosphere get a 20 on the 10 scale. If we were local this would be our new Sunday morning spot. The homestylecooking, friendly amazing service, like everyone is family when you walk in. Perfect perfect perfect. Thank you so much to making the last stop of our weekend trip such a memorable one!“

“Although my wife had a previous bad experience with a female waitress there recently, our visit was refreshing, The you man who was our waiter was refreshing.
He was helpful with the app. Knowledge of the menu was amazing. Friendly and on time.
I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the house burger.
It had been several years since my last visit but am planning on going back soon.“

“Food was good, but the server I had was inattentive. She just gave me my food and said here you go and walked away. I had hoped she would come back so I could get ketchup. I had to ask another server to get it for me. Since I had a burger with a lot of sauce on it I needed napkins to wipe my hands. Once again no sign of my server. I asked another server walking by if she could get me some napkins. She brought me cocktail napkins. Pretty much useless when trying to wipe sauce off your hands! My server finally showed when I was almost finished eating up to ask me if I wanted anything or the bill. A friend of mine said thyey had poor service there as well. Train your servers and may I will come back one day.“

“This place is a gem! Nestled right on the water, it offers delicious food and exceptional service. Despite never knowing it existed in the area, we decided to give it a try, and we were thoroughly impressed. Everyone at the restaurant with me raved about the food, and even though there was only one server when we arrived, the service was fantastic. Some items were unavailable which was a not ideal but nonetheless what we order was delicious.
Everyone there including the patrons were really friendly overall we enjoyed our experience and definitely would recommend this place.“

“The waitress was polite and friendly with fast service“
