50 Best American Restaurants near Pikesville

“Absolutely horrible breakfast food! Got an order from Uber Eats and tried to call and they said all I could do was bring the food back for them to make a new one!! Absolutely not! First, I don’t have a car, that’s why I ordered Uber eats!!! Second, I don’t want your nasty food after you try to pass off AN ENGLISH MUFFIN as my BUTTERMILK BISCUITS AND GRAVY! Trash food and no accountability. Terrible experience. The burrito is four ingredients and they still forgot the cheese! Scrapple like a soggy chunk of uncooked meat“

“Just found this place yesterday while down to see my sister in hospital..Absolutely Amazing“

“Every time I get something here I am blown away with how amazing it is! They have the BEST veggie pizza I’ve ever had - lots of veggies yet not soggy at all and full of flavor. Their chicken wings are also some of the best I’ve ever had. Their Indian cuisine is authentic and delicious. I’m often nervous when I see a restaurant with such a large and diverse menu but somehow Arlon’s totally pulls it off and everything is outstanding!“

“Restaurant is clean. Four booths, one table and a couple of chairs at the sushi bar. They do NOT take reservations. Nota BYOB. They do have an Adult Beverage menu. Just ask for it.

The order came out quickly. Presentation and freshness is as good as Sushi Q2. Everything was delicious.“

“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 🥰“

“Lobster Tempura Grouper with Barbecue sauce Green Beans, Asparagus Drinks Service excellent“

“I was on the way to lunch and saw a coworker of mine's walking to Terry's cafe. At the time I didn't know he was going to Terry's cafe, I picked him up he took me there and I ordered my food. They were so friendly the food delicious and the owners were very courteous and professional and even gave me 3 chocolate chip cookies free. Highly recommended 5 stars if I could give more I will give them 10 stars.“

“I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Ampersea! From the moment we walked in we felt welcome. Joey was absolutely fantastic - setting us up at a table with an amazing view and checking on us multiple times during our visit. He offered to take our coats after we were seated and then offered to take pictures of us when we were on our way out. Ampersea has definitely been the most positive experience we have had during our trip. I can honestly say that Joey is the sole reason we cannot wait to come back to enjoy a meal and a drink (or 2, or 3 haha) once the weather is nicer! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!“

“My first time at Miss Shirley's with my daughter's for a Valentine's Day Breakfast and we LOVED it! When we were seated, I noticed that my daughter was given a book to read while there, in addition the kids menu, which I think was a very good idea. Vivian (I think) was our waitress and she was very friend;y and helpful. I loved the way the children's food was plated, in a bento box style. My oldest daughter had the red velvet french toast, which she enjoyed, my youngest daughter got the Belgian waffles, and I got eggs, turkey sausage, hash browns, and a biscuit. Everything was delicious! The mimosa was good and I enjoyed the coffee. Definitely will be back.“

“The food was phenomenal. I was looking all over this menu and was afraid to push my comfort zone on the breakfast sandwich I wanted to try. Our amazing server Serita, made the phenomenal point that between a regular ol breakfast and that sandwich there is a reason it got voted best. She was absolutely right and it was genuinely so enjoyable.
Overall our meal was amazing.
Service was amazing.“

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

“What a great atmosphere and food was great! Will return and highly recommend 👍“

“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.“

“Food and service is outstanding“

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

“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!“

“Excellent neighborhood vibe. Staff is welcoming and warm spirited. Food is spot on. Ample portions. Great place to meet up with friends for a good nosh, refreshments, and conversation. Sunday Brunch has never let me down. Coffee is hot and comes out in a fresh mug everytime. Highly recommend all year.“

“I usually have lunch at Glyndon Grill about once a month, and it never disappoints. My go-to is the Glyndon Burger — cooked to perfection and consistently delicious every time. Maybe one day I will try something different. Great service at a fair price, and the team always makes you feel welcome. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares about the customer experience.“

“Best steak wrap I have ever had in my life. If I could have given more stars I would have. Our waiter was also very attentive. But this is not the place to go if you're looking for atmosphere...not really a Trolley Stop, more like a gritty hole in the wall. But I'd go back in a heartbeat for the food and service.“

“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!)“

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

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Citron Baltimore while celebrating a friend’s birthday! The owner, Charles, and his wife were incredibly nice and friendly, making us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Their hospitality truly set the tone for a memorable evening. The food was nothing short of amazing—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was incredible, with a perfect blend of elegance and warmth that made the celebration extra special. Highly recommend this gem of a spot—can’t wait to come back!“

“This restaurant was a great experience from start to finish. The donuts with duck fat icing were outstanding—perfectly crunchy and sweet on the outside with a rich, indulgent flavor. The hamburger was juicy and satisfying, and the Philly egg rolls were especially impressive, delivering a crunchy bite packed with bold, savory flavor. On top of the excellent food, the wait staff were pleasant, attentive, and made the meal even more enjoyable. I would definitely come back and recommend this spot to others.“

“Friendly staff and yummy food plus tacos“

“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.“

“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“

“I recently hosted a large party here, and the staff were easy to work with and accommodated our large group. It was the perfect setting (both inside and outside). The cocktails and food were awesome, and the staff was friendly.“

“Wonderful Mother’s Day experience. The rockfish was cooked to perfection. The staff was kind and very attentive. Everyone even gave kind complements to our 84 year old grandmother! Highly recommend:)“

“This idls a place you should visit if in Fells Point Baltimore area amd give the food a shot along with a few pints and maybe a pop or 2. The burgers are great here and the atmosphere is what you would expect for a pub in the city but this one should not be overlooked. Whilevthere are plenty other options close by I'd have to say this burger by far is the best. I challenge others to name me some other spots to try in the city.“

“Oh boy, let me tell you about the pre-game magic we experienced at Johnny's! With a high school state championship soccer game at Loyola on our agenda, my friend, her daughter, and I were on the hunt for the perfect spot to fuel up before the excitement. And boy, did we hit the jackpot with Johnny's! Walking into Johnny's was like finding a hidden gem in a treasure map. The cozy vibes wrapped around us like a warm blanket on a chilly Sunday—it was just what we needed! We settled ourselves at the bar, eager for some drinks and snacks, and that’s where the real fun began. Our bartender was nothing short of a beverage maestro! I ordered a cortado that was so perfectly crafted I nearly swooned. Seriously, it should have been on the cover of a coffee magazine! And let me tell you about their wine list—it’s like a unique art piece. I picked a Pinot Noir to accompany my house-made Old Bay chips, and it was such a delightful pairing that I felt like a sophisticated sommelier for a moment. Now, my bourbon-loving friend was over the moon to discover that Johnny's stocked his all-time favorite brand, FEW. After indulging in wine and coffee that could make any day brighter, we just had to cap off our relaxed Sunday with a round of bourbon. Because what’s a pre-game without a little celebratory sip, right? My friend and her daughter were enjoying their vanilla latte and mocha to the fullest—let’s just say the smiles on their faces were positively radiant! And the cookies? Oh my goodness! The gingerbread and peanut butter cookies were instant crowd-pleasers. I’m pretty sure I’d fight a bear for another bite! Now, here’s the kicker: my friend might live in sunny Florida, but I’m ready to brave the Washington Beltway traffic any time just to return to Johnny's. If they nail snacks and drinks this well before a soccer game, I can't even imagine what kind of culinary genius they have up their sleeves! So, Johnny's, you’ve stolen my heart (and my taste buds)—I’m already counting down the days until my next visit!“

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

“Everything from the ambiance, the decor, to the immaculate cocktails, and entrees. They are truly a culinary experience, right in my small quaint neighborhood. Feel so lucky to be so close to them and to share the neighborhood space.“

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

“Last night, my wife and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with dinner at Charleston in Baltimore—and it truly may have been the dining experience of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail was astounding: perfectly curated ambiance, gracious and attentive service, and a beautifully paced tasting menu. Every dish was a revelation, from the wine pairing thoughtfully selected to complement each course, to the impeccable presentation and exquisite flavors. The staff made the evening feel utterly seamless and special. It was our first visit to Charleston, and it stands out as the perfect place to mark such a milestone. Thank you to everyone—from the kitchen team to our servers—for creating such a memorable, delightful evening. A hearty thank you for making our 20th anniversary absolutely perfect“

“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“

“Good food and great service ⭐️“

“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!!!“

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

“Had a great time at Glenwoods in Owings Mills, MD for a last minute girlfriends Friday night meetup. Food, service and ambiance were great. Loved the lemon drops so much I had 2. Definitely recommend their fried calamari and they had a non-regular menu special seared tuna appetizer that I really enjoyed. One of my friends gave the Skillet cornbread a thumbs up and while they enjoyed the flavor of the chicken meatballs, the sauce wasn't the best apparently. The ribs very tender and well cooked and love their little shoestring fries (perfectly crispy but still soft in the center & lightly salted). Our server Ashley ( fingers crossed I have her name right ) was very friendly and attentive.“

“Mom and I ate here for the first time today. Food was great! I had the pulled pork and she had the chicken tenders platter. But Mom says the iced tea is weak and needs to be stronger. I liked it just fine.“

“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 ❤️“

“Delicious food and great service“

“Top Round Carry-Out was solid. Casual, no-frills vibe with a quick, friendly feel. The sandwiches and roast beef were flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. Service was efficient and straightforward. Perfect spot for a quick, hearty meal on the go.“

“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!“

“One of the best pubs I have been to. I was there for a conference with friends and we stopped in. Food was so good I came back to pickup food when I needed a quick meal. I was able to get in and order my food. It was made quickly and well. I had to walk back to my hotel and when I got there it was still hot and fresh. When I return to Baltimore I will return. I have also told friends about eating here.“
