50 Best American Restaurants near Linthicum Heights

“I'm not from here, but was in the area and was looking for a comfy place to eat. Was genially welcomed, and told to sit anywhere. I did move after a while because the draft from the door, but was happily helped to move my things. The atmosphere was friendly, everyone that came through had smiles. The servers were very sweet and helpful. The food was👌🏾 Can't get scrapple in many locations (at least where I'm from) so I was thrilled to see it on the menu. And best of all, the prices were amazing! Wish my area had one of these locations.“

“A restaurant inside the Double Tree hotel. It was not busy, and service was prompt and efficient. The food was just okay. The menu has a few choices in each section of appitizers, soup and salads, sandwiches and dinner entrees. The buttermilk chicken patty on the sandwich was a bit tough and tasted like the meat had been frozen. The crab cake was good, with fresh crab and not too much filler. The old bay chips had a flavor that did not appeal to me“

“We dined at the Linthicum MD location. Our server Cati was amazing! She was very patient and helpful when my RT app & Rewards weren't working. She also suggested the Bourbon BBQ sauce for my ribs and it was delicious! Salad bar was well stocked. Couldn't ask for better service!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just have to give a huge shoutout to Abbi at the Cracker Barrel in Linthicum Heights. Wherever they found her, they struck gold! She is absolutely amazing — bubbly, warm, and the perfect person to greet guests at the door. Her personality shines the moment you walk in. She talks to people in such an open and friendly way that you instantly feel welcome. Abbi has that rare gift of turning someone’s entire day around just with her energy and kindness. Cracker Barrel truly has the right person at the front — she’s everything you’d want in a first impression!“

“Great dessert and burger ..“

“Everything past the two horrible hostess was excellent. Please re-educate them on what their job is, they set a tone from the beginning. Now to the relevant parts. My server Melyka was sincerely a breathe of fresh air from the attitude and eye roll I experienced at the beginning, she just walked up with the biggest smile and her Energy was amazing, it actually calmed me down lol. She constantly checked on me. Every runner was also pleasant who brought my food out. The food was hot and fresh. The mozzarella sticks were perfect, the big bites were hot and flavourful and the chicken tender (honey Chipotle) were cooked perfectly and crispy. I ordered a side salad as well that was so pretty (NOT just thrown on plate) It was a busy night, but food came out in a timely matter and job well done ( Besides the hostesses once again, sorry just unnecessary rudeness grinds my gears)“

“I will definitely be back !!! The food was amazing, the old fashioned to die for, however our server Maddie is absolutely phenomenal !!!!! Highly recommend you go and should request her as well 🥰“

“I've been wanting soft pancakes after a tiring nightshift but I'm lactose intolerant! The parking was not bad and the service, drinks and food was absolutely superior. I am looking at my calendar for my next excuse for Brunch! Special thanks to Hayden and management for being so attentive to my specific dietary needs. (Lactose intolerant and whey sensitive)“

“I see a lot of these are older reviews and I don’t know if they have since gotten a new chef in the last 3 years but the food is phenomenal and I’m very picky! I look for things to not like and this is my second time here and can’t think of one bad thing. Service is good, but the food is literally outstanding. The mashed potatoes had great flavor as did the veggies - my steak was a tad overdone but it was so tasty it didn’t matter. Crab cake was filled with delicious lump crab! And it had flavor too — I also tried the Korean short ribs on special and they were just SO GOOD! The drinks are also delicious! And I stare at the dessert case every time I come in but I’m always too full to order anything. I guarantee they’re also to die for! Great place!!“

“We stopped by Miss Shirley’s Cafe during a trip to Baltimore after seeing glowing reviews on Google Map. It lived up to the hype.

Got here around 10am on a Sunday and waited about 20 minutes for a table, which wasn’t bad considering the popularity.

The decor is fun, eclectic, and welcoming. The menu is huge with plenty of both sweet and savory options to choose from. We ordered the fried green tomato breakfast sandwich and the banana chocolate chips pancakes, and both were excellent. I’d order either again. One note: the hot chocolate is very sweet. I ordered it with the pancakes and found the combo too much. If you prefer less sweetness like I do, skip it.

Service was fast and friendly, and the restaurant seemed very well run despite the crowds. Though it’s popular with tourists, the food and overall experience make it well worth a visit.“

“Great home cooked food, locally sourced! Nothing like homemade ice cream!!!“

“Fantastic evening at One- Eyed Mike's recently. Our server, Eugene, was top- notch, as was the food and beverage!“

“I dream about the honey sriracha cauliflower wings. Love Maggie’s!“

“Very friendly staff, food is always good, and I love the cleanliness of the restaurant including the bathroom! They make their own chantilly🤩“

“Stopped by for a late outdoor dinner. Ordered at the window and staff was amazing and friendly. Amira was especially friendly. We were devastated you ran out of cotton candy ice cream, but we still had a great night with great service.“

“Food and service were both amazing at Topside. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. We were even brought a champagne toast on the house, and a non-alcoholic one for my wife (she had ordered an N/A drink earlier), which was a great gesture. I will definitely be back. The Sticky Toffee Pudding dessert special was a real highlight.“

“Tae the bartender was super accommodating! She is so sweet and her drinks matches her energy … LIT“

“I eat here every time I visit the area.“

“Popped into Ale Mary’s on a Monday night and it reminded me why I need to keep this place in my regular rotation. The vibe is perfectly quirky and maximalist—sitting at a high-top trading stories surrounded by the eclectic “religious” decor is such a great, uniquely Baltimore experience.

I tried the Honey Bourbon Lemonade from the April specials; it was a 10/10 with the perfect balance of sweetness and dark liquor warmth. We shared the Nacho Tots (solid seasonal treat!), but the real star was the Chicken Chesapeake sandwich. It was a big, cheesy, melty pile of chicken and crab on a toasted, buttery bun. It’s a fantastic, more affordable way to get a crab fix—and honestly, I liked it more than many actual crab cakes I’ve had. We finished with the Bread Pudding, which was warm, gooey, and decadent. Friendly service and a total neighborhood gem!“

“We had the fried green tomatoes as our first appetizer. They were tender and topped with lumps of crabmeat. Spectacular! Then we had the fried cheese appetizer. I can’t remember the name of the cheese, but it was delicious in the accompanying sauce and olive oil and pesto. All of the dishes we had came out perfect. My filet medallions were so tender,they melted in my mouth. Hubby got the pork loin over mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts and loved it. We will definitely come back!“

“We enjoyed a perfect evening for my son's rehearsal dinner! Blackwall Barn and Lodge is a great place to hold any event! Danny and the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. The food was beyond amazing. I wouldn't hesitate recommending the restaurant/Lodge to anyone. Love the atmosphere.“

“I happened to drive by and see people sitting outside eating. It looked like a great place to stop. I went by myself. I was able to find free parking right outside the restaurant. The menu I was looking at was mostly breakfast and brunch. The price range was about $15 on up. I got a gingerale and their house wings as well as fries. Everything was good.. My bill was $21. The waitress was very attentive and nice and gave recommendations. I would recommend checking this place out. It had a nice atmosphere.“

“I love to stop in for lunch with my son & grandson when in Catonsville. Really enjoy the tomato basil soup with grilled cheese sandwich! (Traditional but SO good!)“

“premiere dining experience with delicious food, cocktails, and a very welcoming and knowledgeable staff!! Will definitely be back!“

“This is the first time I went to this restaurant and was very pleased with the service, the food was great and we received our food fast. It was very clean and all the employees were very friendly. I will be returning for another great meal.“

“Marta manages to be both lively and cozy simultaneously in a rowhouse that previously housed Salt (one of my all time favorite upscale restaurants) We went for a friend's birthday, and all 3 courses were delicious, beautifully presented, inventive, and not the same old menu that you find everywhere. Very sweet wait staff was super attentive, educated about the food and wine and made great suggestions. Our original wait staff had an emergency and had to leave in the middle of service, but seamlessly another wait person stepped in to covered us. Kudos to the front of house team for handling with such skill and ease. But the food was definitely the star of the show. For me, the standout was the tuna cannoli. I'm not even sure I can do justice to this deliciousness with a crunchy outer "cannoli" shell with a slight hint of sweet surrounding a creamy center of tuna crudi with little dots of avocado cream. And all was covered with a pistachio "dust." The spicy meatballs were delectable nestled in a cloud of creamy spicy ricotta. And the Duck and Foie Gras Panzotti (little triangle ravioli) was creamy, delicious and the perfect combination of delicate tastes. And the Tiramisu Affogato ended the dinner on a delicious note! And for two people with drinks it was really pretty a good deal for the quality if the food, service and location. We will be back! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5“

“absolutely everything food is delicious👌🏼 drinks fron bar are the best❤ service excelent. beatifull place🤩“

“It’s the local Dawgs bar. What more needs to be said?“

“Amazing food and atmosphere, one of the best little places to eat in Baltimore. I love the chicken and dumpling soup and the pierogis. I’ve eaten inside and gotten take out multiple times and it’s always consistently good. I ❤️ Chachi’s“

“Brunch was delicious and the sculpture garden was lovely.“

“I just wanted to say what an awesome experience Barracudas and Billy provided for my family. We held a surprise 90th birthday party for my Mom there on Saturday and it was perfect. The food was delicious as usual and the service was phenomenal. Abby did a great job taking care of us. Big shout out to the kitchen staff and everyone else who assisted in making my Mom feel loved and appreciated. I live 2 hours from the restaurant, but I make it a point to stop in almost everytime for food and drinks. Everyone has their own opinion concerning the restaurant and staff. In 10 years I have never had a bad experience here or seen anything out of the ordinary reacting to the staff or ownership. I have seen intoxicated patrons but that's it. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal or a drink. You won't be disappointed.“

“I love the food Mom, and Poppa are amazing!!!“

“We discovered this gem a few months ago. We love it and been there quite a few times already. Great food and atmosphere!“

“For as expensive as it can be to order food for a family from here, we do expect warm and fresh food. our food was barely room tempature and definitely old fries. The ice cream had hair in it. This place has gone down hill fast. Would not recommend.“

“I had the cheese steak combo which was absolutely delicious and came with a huge side of crisp fries. Prices were super affordable. Customer service was amazing - you can easily tell how much the staff cares about their customers. There are a few stools and a counter for dining in. Will definitely visit again soon!“

“Fine dining in Baltimore at its best. Loved the atmosphere, the staff and the food was divine. I’ll be back!!!“

“First time ordering from here JIST 4-5 hours ago. I saw sooo many good reviews I had to try it. I ordered (delivery) their jerk chicken panini, and jerk chicken Rasta pasta. MAN… the pasta is sooo good!! The panini was also delicious, even though the panini pressed grilled bread had steamed inside its wrapper and lost its crispiness.. it was great. Wasn’t soggy just had lost its crunchiness where the grill marks are. I can’t wait to try their chicken pot pie and jerk chicken platter! I would’ve ordered those too.. but I don’t want to reheat anything and want to try it fresh. Will order those items next time! Thank you ❤️“

“We had an incredible experience. The service was fast, the staff were welcoming, the food was delicious. Looking forward to try more items on the menu soon!“

“We enjoyed a lovely brunch here on a beautiful Fall day. We loved the historic building and the lovely treed grounds surrounding it. The food was outstanding and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend!“

“I loved Jae's Grill, the all day breakfast is a good idea for retired people! The servers were friendly and hospitable, the food was good and the place was clean and inviting. I will definitely be returning here for lunch too for the Homemade soups! 🙂“

“Came into Pickles for the Red Sox game yesterday and ended up having an incredible time. Huge shoutout to Locklin behind the bar—he took amazing care of me and my girls all night. Super attentive, great recommendations, and just an all-around awesome guy. Definitely coming back!“

“My daughter chose pies over a wedding cake for her reception. We ordered multiple flavors and they were such a hit with the guests. Everyone was excited to see the variety and enjoyed them immensely. This turned out to be such a success and I recommend others try pies in lieu of cake, and you cannot go wrong with Dangerously. 😋“

“is it a Spanish joint now?“

“Great little local down to earth restaurant. The food was superbly prepared with attention to detail. The ingredients were very fresh and cooked to perfection.
The welcoming atmosphere makes it feel like home. We look forward to coming back every few weeks and definitely are interested in coming your way the special dinner events.“

“Stopped by monday evening after work, for a bite and a drink after a long weekend. And kyle was my bartender! Great service first time i have ever been asked what temperature i like my cheesesteak! Bar was pretty busy and kyle handled the bar very well !! Cheesesteak came out with a full newyork strip on top couldn’t believe what i was seeing the entire bar was shocked! Food was great as well as the atmosphere! I recommend trying this place open late as well“

“For a brunch spot, it’s very quaint and nice inside, the food (I had the Elvis pancakes) were good, as well as the drinks. Only two drawbacks: It can get pricey (they charge $5 extra just for 3 slices of bacon if your meal doesn’t come with it, which is wild), and the diner’s demographics aren’t really diverse. Otherwise, it’s a nice spot with the biggest perk being all day brunch.“

“Best place in that part of Baltimore . My parents met their to many years ago to count. I went to college near their 40 years ago,and every time I get a chance to go when in town it's a must stop. Awesome service and food“

“Our 1st time eating here and we will be back! The food was delicious and very plentiful! Enough to take home for next nights dinner! Our server Irene was veery attentive and very pleasant to chat with, which is a huge plus IMO. Went home with dessert for later and totally enjoyed our meal. Thank You!“

“Great food and drinks. Staff is friendly and accommodating.“

“The grits are PERFECT! Huge amount and cooked pt perfection! Creamy, buttery. Just delicious! Priced just right!“
