37 Best American Restaurants near Monkton

“August 24. Five of us came to enjoy lunch together. Very disappointed. My ultimate grilled cheese was not ‘ultimate’. Very little cheese, no tomato, and crab cake/meat was sub par. Another lady received the wrong lunch and then had to send back her lunch when the correct order was brought. Another lady had to send back her hot fudge sundae. We were told the hot fudge was made last week! It would have been nice if a manager had come to our table. Have been coming to Manor Tavern for decades and have never been so disappointed. Am coming again in September. Hope things are a bit better!“

“We get carryout dinner here at least 1 night a week. We love all of the Greek dishes, crabcakes, soups, salads and desserts. The turkey and hot beef platters are also very good. (Ask for gravy on the side.) I have never had anything I didn't not like.“

“This has been my go to for lunch recently. Food has always been on point! Great pub food/ sandwiches. Today I got the Salmon BLT w/ avocado, I asked for it Blackened. It was awesome, can't wait to go back.
Staff friendly, and cooks do an amazing job.“

“Good food and great service ⭐️“

“Excellent service with Linda and fabulous food at the Corner Stable today!“

“My family went to Hightopps tonight for a small memorial for my uncle. The food was delicious, our waitress Bree was great, the general manager, Kirk, was one of my uncles best friends, thank you for your kindness! I never met the owner but I can tell he is an excellent person. Thank you to all of my uncles friends that cared so much for him & for Hightopps wonderful service and kindness as well. I give this place a 10 out of 10. It reminds me a little like Seacrets in OC. Love the atmosphere and outside is so pretty.“

“First time eating at this restaurant. Seated immediately. Waitress came right away. Had the Italian hoagie with everything. The bread was so fresh. The deli meat was thinly sliced and piled high. Fresh potato chips as a side. The other entree we tried was the Turkey Reuben on rye. Rye bread was fresh. Sandwich was piled high. Onion rings were large and tasteful.

Dietary restrictions: There is an allergy notification at the bottom of the menu stating to inform of any restrictions

Parking: We got there about an hour after the Amish Market opened and had to park about 4 rows over toward the back of the parking lot

Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu. Reasonable prices. Good selection“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This small open pit sandwich shop is an absolute gem — the kind of place you stumble across once and never forget. From the moment you walk up, you can smell the smoky goodness coming off the grill, and you just know you’re in for something special.

The sandwiches? Next level. Perfect in every way.

But what really sets this place apart is Jake — the owner, the grill master, and quite possibly the best person you’ll ever meet. He greets everyone like an old friend, remembers your name, and makes you feel like part of the family from day one. His passion for what he does shows in every sandwich he serves and every smile he shares.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop by. Jake and his open pit sandwiches will have you coming back again and again.“

“The golf course was in great shape.“

“Excellent.. I've been in restaurants for decades, and this was by far, one of the top 10!“

“I went to visit family and needed a place nearby that wasn't too expensive and chose the Embassy Suites. I've actually been to this place before but it's been easily 15-20 years since my last visit. The thing about Embassy Suites generally is that they're mostly the same - especially of the properties from the 80s era. Big, open central space and the rooms encircle it. The property is from that era and there are some things that show this in 2023 - like the old and slow elevators, but they've done a good job modernizing the place overall. Like my room. They gave me room 731 which is near the elevators closest to the lobby. Nice. The view overlooks an office park next door (there's not much to see in Hunt Valley). Imagine an 80s era room but modernized with marble counters and nicer fixtures with wifi, usb chargers and nice curtains and you've got 731. It was very pleasant and very comfortable. Since its a suite there's an outer room with seating and a kitchenette. I made use of the large screen tv to watch some movies and generally chill. Since it is an 80s-era bathroom, it's small. But they have modernized and it's perfectly fine. Shower was good with lots of pressure and everything worked. There is an indoor pool, but I did not use it. The breakfast is surprisingly good. Lots to choose from and the hot prepared food is pretty good also. No complaints. Staff was great. Welcoming, friendly, informative. Really, there's not much more I could ask for when on the road. I enjoyed my stay and would return again.“

“This was my first time experiencing Mother's. I've driven by numerous times. I was really impressed. Aden (sp) was an excellent server. He was patient, professional, and personable. I ordered the Cajun buffacue bone in wings and pulled pork sandwich. Everything was delicious.“

“My husband and I had a late breakfast at the Timonium location on December 27, 2024. Upon arrival, at almost 11:30 AM, the hostess named Samantha, was seating another group of people. We watched Samantha clean tables, set place settings, before returning and seating us. We soon took note that this very pleasant hostess/greeter was taking on several jobs: we watched her methodically bus tables, return to awaiting guests in line and proceed to repeat the same process...while also being the cashier for departing guests who were paying their bill. As more and more people arrived, we watched Samantha's professionalism never waiver. Our waitress named Kelly was also pleasant. She quickly took our order and soon returned with drinks. Not long later, another kitchen helper returned with our plates of food. I commented on how well everyone was working and gave a special appreciation to Samantha. We observed Samantha rearrange tables to accommodate groups of people while maintaining her warm smile that revealed her love for her job and customers! The food was delicious, and the service was above standard. Employees at this location really work well together but Kudos to Ms. Samantha who worked above and beyond expectations!!!“

“rode our motorcycle down from York PA last night for a nice small meal. Wife had the BBQ flat bread Pizza and I have a Quesadilla and a beer each. Service was spot on as we sat at the high top tables. Server (she) was amazing and we left a 40% tip. Grew up in Freeland just down the road and always stop here when we can.“

“This story is worth sharing. Our Lax team had a tournament in Baltimore, Md this weekend. We stayed at a Holiday Inn that so happened to have a Chili’s Restaurant attached. Our crew wound up at the Chili’s for dinner yesterday evening and met an AMAZING server named Bobby. Our boys raved about Bobby’s service, and invited him to their Sunday…9am…90 degree game. Well, Bobby showed up at their game, with his big personality and smile. He wound up leaving such a great impression on the boys, coaches, and parents that he was part of our team for the day! He complimented the parents on our boys manners and said he wouldn’t miss their game for anything. Despite loosing 1 game and winning another, Bobby was the winner here today! Chili’s Restaurant has a fabulous employee, and Jersey Express 26’ team has a new buddy! I call that a win in my book all day long!“

“While shopping yesterday.“

“Our first trip to First Watch this morning. Great place for breakfast or brunch. Nice menu, lots of healthier options too. Place was clean and chic and the food was fast, hot and delicious. Our server was Tiffany who took care of us. Nice and friendly. Highly recommend!“

“Having moved from New Jersey This comes close to the pizza I know and love“

“Tapas style of meals perfect on every level …. A must try !!“

“The people are what make the place. My father (Richard Roden) spent many a year either working there of going for his 3pm beer. The love and caring of these people amaze me and while it was odd being in there today with out him. I understood why he never wanted to miss a day there. Thank you to all for looking after my Dad and giving him a home away from home.“

“It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t amazing either. So I got the Italian hot cut. It was good but it wasn’t horrible either. It was bland a bit. There was no spice or anything like normal hot Italian cuts. Since this is my first order I would definitely try again.“

“Tried Nalley for the first time. We really enjoyed the food. The young girl in the drive thru was very helpful. Shout out to Carl! We will be back.❤“

“Location is a bit secluded, but this place is definitely a goldmine. The inventory is so large, you'll definitely be able to find WHATEVER you're looking for and more here. I personally came in for wine coolerd and left with two bottles of wine that I tried from a sampler (Espanola).“

“Very Nice family business“

“Jessica works Night Shift she the best !!!!“

“My wife and I went here for brunch and it was an amazing and wonderful culinary experience. They offered very unique dishes. Reading the descriptions of them made it hard to choose which ones to get as they all looked delicious. If we are in the local area again and are hungry we will most likely be going back to Eggspectation.“

“The ham was excellent. I appreciate being able to buy small portions instead of a whole or half ham. Side dishes were also good. Employees were friendly & kept the flow of people coming in moving quickly & efficiently. Will definitely be back.“

“Erin is seriously my favorite bartender. I really enjoy when she tells me to leave after serving a mean jack and coke!“
