39 Best American Restaurants near Point Of Rocks

“The food is delicious, and everything is fresh. It is the perfect place to stop after visiting the C & O Trail, or any other excuse you can find. I highly recommend Big Belly’s.“

“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 service was outstanding. We had a large party, of 14. Our servers were professional, accommodating, punctual.
One of our guests got sick and the general manager came over and helped with cleaning up the area. Outstanding experience from start to finish.“

“Drinks were awesome. service was great.“

“Randomly passed by and stopped in for lunch on a long road trip back home from Maryland…and so very glad we did! Truffle fries, fig and brie flatbread, and strawberry cheesecake French toast…all so good!!! This was literally one of the best meals we’ve had in as far back as we can remember. We are so sad you are over 7 hours away from us, but we hope lacrosse or work takes us somewhere near you again. We will definitely be back!“

“Enjoyed the Food here Staff was Attentive and Friendly had a wonderful Dining experience the Specials are Awesome“

“Long post ahead, warning! I walked in around 9 pm and the hostess didn't bat an eye at my dining alone, and didn't say anything about it, which I appreciate. I was seated right away with no problems and immediately got a chance to look over the menu. I will admit, it took a little bit longer than expected for my waiter to come over, but as a lone diner I sort of expected that. I looked like I was waiting for someone, I'm sure. The look and feel of the place was very upscale, but they didn't have any problems with me walking in wearing a nerdy t-shirt. I was seated in this cute little booth for 2 with curtains on the side so, if I wanted a more private dinner, I could have it. It was a cute touch! The restaurant also offered patio dining and since it's by the creek, that would have been a downright charming experience were it not the usual Maryland summer. Despite having a bar, the restaurant was respectably quiet and low-key, making it an easy dining experience. I wasn't in the mood for something wild, and this place really hit the nail on the head. My first waiter Kevin, however, was the picture of polite helpfulness. He answered all of my questions, made some wonderful suggestions, and was incredibly pleasant to talk to. I was delighted to find out that this place takes part in DC restaurant week, so I was able to take part in that promotion. Under a suggestion from Kevin, I ordered a glass of their moscato (I wanted something light and sweet), and the wine was so good I brought home a whole bottle. Not really on them, but it does reflect their excellent selection. Dinner itself was delicious. The red pepper soup was refreshing and flavorful, without being too filling. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and was flavored in the perfect way to make the actual flavor of the meat shine. The potatoes were both light and fluffy, but also had the little chunks of potato that I prefer in my mashed. The best part was desert. About halfway through my appetizer, Kevin introduced my other waiter, Maddy, who took over after he went home. She was as much of a delight as he was, and made possibly the best recommendation of the night. Desert was this blackberry tart that I did not have room for but could not put down. Gooey and crumbly all at once, with a warm center that was almost caramel-y even though it was fruit based. Topped with a light cream to balance it all out, it was absolutely delicious. I will be thinking of that tart all day tomorrow. The prices on the menu were a little high, but I wouldn't go so far to say they were unreasonable. If I had wanted a cheaper option, I could have gone to any chain restaurant ever. In the grand scheme of downtown Frederick, with it's many small businesses and one of a kind dining experiences, I think this was reasonable. For reference, a lot of meals were between $20 and $30, but a good steak is almost always $30+. Despite the price, I had an exceptional dining experience, and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for upscale dining, without the upscale requirements.“

“I just celebrated my 64th birthday at Red Lobster in Frederick and absolutely loved it. The food was great, and the waiter was exceptional. I spent my day trying to decide where I wanted to go to celebrate and decided on Red Lobster just before leaving out to go to Texas Roadhouse. On the way home we all decided Red Lobster was a great pick. I recommend that you try it also.“

“Our server Gyu-won P was top notch. Attentive but not annoying.“

“We found this place while visiting in the area and looking for something nice. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was nothing short of amazing.“

“Came in Sunday afternoon. It was pretty busy. Someone that works there let us know they would be right with us. We were sat. Lisa was our server. Everything was great! Food was good and came out in timely manner. Will definitely return.“

“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“

“Recently discovered Cellar Door when traveling to Mount St. Mary Collage and the family needed a place to eat. Wow were we impressed. The food was amazing (Complements to the Chef) the floor staff and our waitress were on point and boy did she make us not only laugh and have a good time but she rocked the house to make us at home. I highly recommend the culinary and cultural experience. Bravo to everyone.“

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

“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!“

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

“We went to the Longhorn steakhouse in frederick maryland this past Sunday. We got some pretty basic meals but everything was pretty good. Most of our group got chicken tenders and they were good with plenty of dipping sauce. However, the service was the highlight of our visit. I don't remember our servers name but he was fantastic. He was patient with our kiddos and treated them kindly. He made sure we had refills on our drinks and was just a really great server.“

“Absolutely fantastic food. The entire meal was an experience and one that I will not forget. Chef Jason personally checks in with every table throughout the dinner service.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“My first time here, but this is the best place I’ve eaten in a very, very long time. My family of 4 Adults and four little children all had a great Dinner here. The service was fantastic even though they were down to one Chef, one waitress and one bartender. If this were American Idol, I’d hit the Golden Buzzer. By the way, aside from the great Dinners, the Fiery Mussels were to die for. Best I’ve ever had and I’ve had plenty of them.….. to include famous Berthas at Fels Point, in Baltimore.“

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

“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.“

“Magoos Tavern is the GOAT.“

“This 24-hour diner attached to the Travelodge in Brunswick,Maryland is a throwback to the diners of the 1950s. We were looking for a decent meal after being on the road all day, and came upon this diner. The two women, Olivia and Kara who were working there could not have made the experience better. They were friendly, accommodated a special request for my husband, who was in the mood for an open-faced, hot turkey sandwich with gravy. They made the gravy as a special accommodation. The restaurant was clean, well-maintained, and the food was delicious. I would not hesitate to grab a meal there if you’re in the area.“

“The waitress was so sweet and the food was really good! I don't get a chance to eat at Waffle House often and I forgot how much food they give you, definitely worth the money! This location is always clean and the staff is always great!“

“Had great experience at Mays, crabs were heavy and the drinks kept coming. Great food, Great service! We will definitely be coming back, Thanks Aleecia for making our night so enjoyable, we will be asking for you next time ?“

“Great, food, service! We will be returning in the future!“
