40 Best American Restaurants near Middletown

“We have eaten here every week since 2017. It’s a great neighborhood restaurant with amazing staff and food.“

“Everything about Dempsey’s exceeds expectations. The menu and ingredients are incredibly thoughtful. Everything down to the seasoning is made in house. The desserts are to die for - special shout out to the cheesecakes. I tried strawberry, original and blueberry - all were fantastic but the blueberry has a special place in my heart. This is an outstanding family owned and ran business that supports diversity and inclusion. They have choices for everyone - comfort food, gluten free options, diabetic options, you name it. I will certainly be back and recommend to all. Good people, good food.“

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about our wedding at Maryland National Golf Club. The venue perfectly combines rustic charm with timeless elegance, and our photos truly capture the beauty of this hidden gem. Reghan went above and beyond to handle every detail flawlessly, and the staff were both fun and professional. I’d choose to get married here a thousand times over!“

“First time I’ve eaten at the Valley Grille in ages and WOW! I was seriously impressed! Their new chef is crushin’ it! 👏

We asked if they’d make the “Family Combo” (12 wings, 1 lb chicken tenders, 3 cheeseburger sliders & fries) even though it’s usually just on the Sunday menu, and they did! The 5 hungry kids in our group demolished it 😂

Also… I’m a total sucker for homemade ranch, and theirs is legit so good. Creamy, flavorful, and clearly not from a bottle 🙌

The adults all ended up ordering tacos...shrimp, carne asada, el fuego pork, and Cajun fish...and every one of them was unique and packed with flavor. But the surprise star of the night was the Brisket Wedge Salad. The brisket was tender, lean, and plated beautifully. Highly recommend trying that one!

The chef even came out to check on our meal, which was such a nice touch, and our server was awesome- handling multiple tables and the bar like a pro.

I live in Glenbrook and have always wanted this spot to thrive, and it finally feels like it’s getting there. Definitely planning to check out trivia night soon!“

“Amazing food and drinks! Great service especially from our server Frankie! Fabulous in every way“

“The crab cakes lacked seasoning. Same for the cream of crab soup. The French onion soup was too salty, while not unusual, it wasn't expected for this level of restaurant. Our wait staff was excellent. And the atmosphere is also excellent. It was our first time for dinner. We'd been numerous times for lunch and will limit ourselves to lunch in the future.“

“THE SOUP IS SO GOOD OMG. I am a big soup lover, and I am chronically disappointed in soups all across different restaurants because they're never as rich, full flavored, or filling as you want them to be, unless it's French onion soup (and at that point it's just bread and cheese, c'mon).
We went for lunch and I had their Chicken Poblano soup, ready to like it alright, and I cleaned my bowl. The soup was so perfectly seasoned, hearty, and exactly what you want out of a bowl of soup. My companion had the chicken salad sandwich, ALSO AMAZING.
They are a typical small business so it's a small operation in a small space, charmingly decorated and very clean and classic.

Their menu is small, and that's because everything they make is made to perfection. If you want the soup that you'll be trying to recreate for years to come (or that you'll pick up once a week because if you're like me you can't recreate a recipe to save your life), this is the place to go.“

“if you're visiting the historic town of Brunswick, then the Potomac Street Grill should be on your list. They have a robust menu that will suit anyone from vegetarians to carnivores. They have a great bar and friendly staff. If I'm ever visiting again, I will surely return.“

“Great service, quality food and European atmosphere! We love it here!“

“Mike L was our server and we had an absolute 10/10 experience. Mike was so attentive to our table, and was so personable. Our food was fantastic as well, from apps to entrees, to desert. I cannot wait to go back, and Mike needs a raise!!“

“Thank you for the multiple trays of delicious subs for our party!! They were a big hit!“

“Our first time coming here and won’t be our last! They have the best burgers and shakes!“

“The food was very delicious, and I suggest everybody get the philly cheese steak egg rolls.They were the amazing even for our very picky eater. Shake was really attentive and gave us enough space to let us people.We wanted and made some suggestions that turned out to be really spot one. Definitely.We'll go back to try some other items on the menu.“

“We had a large party on Saturday night. Laura, our waitress, was wonderful and helpful. We especially enjoyed the brussel sprouts, the salmon,, the fish and chips, and New York strip steak. The quality was excellent, the entire experience was very good. We all highly recommend!“

“Very slow And when I responded slow to the cashiers question of how was everything, she offered no response. And then ridiculed me when I was late informing her I was a rewards member. Perhaps more training when a negative critique is offered.“

“everything was great and help was nice and food was awesome“

“Outstanding food. Excellent service. Reasonable prices. Best crab cakes in Frederick. If you haven't been, you are missing out.“

“Alyssa B from Cellar Door is the most gorgeous, engaging, compassionate, dedicated, and perceptive waitress in downtown Frederick. She is surrounded by an exceptional team (Amber, Simone, and Kelly) that shares those admirable traits, making them some of the finest waitstaff in the area.

Without question, Cellar Door is the best in downtown Frederick.“

“First time visiting Brookside Inn and we were blown away! The food was outstanding. The menu is so descriptive that it makes you want to try everything you’d honestly have to come back multiple times just to experience it all. We also loved that they support Hemp’s Meat, a local meat locker. The staff was absolutely phenomenal. Our waitress, Kaylor, was incredible she memorized all of our orders and provided excellent service throughout the entire meal. Everything was cooked to perfection. My husband had the jalapeño burger, I had the beef brisket sandwich, and our daughter ordered the buffalo wings. The wings alone were worth the money very meaty and cooked perfectly. We’re already looking forward to going back and truly believe this will become our new go-to dining spot!“

“As four guests visiting for the first time, we all thought the food was great. Service was slow to order a beer and desert was almost cancelled because of time and the glazing did not arrive with one of the deserts and getting a side cup never arrived. The waitress was new and very helpful and will get better with experience. The only disappointment was their Military Discount? They only allow 10% for "active" Military making one feel that veterans just don't qualify? And the 10% you receive is only on the members main meal. So for a $60.61 meal the discount was $1.49? I give the discount I receive back to the wait staff and left a $15.00 tip.“

“Great crowd, drinks, and food!“

“We had a great experience here - there was an issue with one of the steaks and the manager Francisco was incredible. He was super courteous and professional, and even got on the grill and remade it himself. We’ll absolutely be coming back.“

“My husband & I had lunch here today. He had cream of crab & said it was delicious . I had the sub club , best club sandwich ever. Meat was fresh & bread was warm. No more expensive than any where else.“

“Wings on Thursdays are the BEST!“

“Always have to stop in for a chicken gyro when I'm in town! The best tzatziki ever!!! Great family run business!“

“Best sushi in Frederick. I truthfully go twice a week at minimum for lunch“

“Thank you for the multiple trays of delicious subs for our party!! They were a big hit!“

“Great place to go in downtown Frederick. The atmosphere was great. No wait to be seated. Our server Brandi’s was fantastic and very attentive. Her recommendations for our food and beverages were perfect. Loved the crab dip. I highly recommend this place.“

“What a great find. I was at the bar, it was a quiet night but from the food there was great, same thing for the restaurant has to be great too. Almost all plates are made on the property and so tasty. The desserts were great too. We'll be back when we are in the area in April.“

“So much fun and laid back I have aways enjoyed myself when I go“

“The best fried chicken in Frederick County, MD!! Also lots of other great food!!“

“I love this place! Highly recommended.“

“I have celiac and our server Leonard let the kitchen know, I'm happy to say I did not get sick at all, I appreciate the accommodation. Our server also recommended the lettuce bun for me, which was so good; gluten free bread isn't always the best, so that was very appreciated as well. Thank you for the great meal 🙂“
