17 Best American Restaurants in Rockville

“The menu is seasonal so there is aways something to try. The Parker house rolls and amazing variety and low price of oysters for happy hour may be things of the past, but the food and service are consistently superior at Clyde's. We've been eating here for over a decade now and continue to enjoy dining it.“

“Food and wine are never a fail. This is my spot.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Matchbox, largely thanks to Iliya’s outstanding service. From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, and incredibly welcoming without ever hovering.

The menu recommendations were spot-on, our drinks stayed full. Even with a busy bar, Iliya handled everything with genuine care, speed, and a great attitude that elevated the whole experience. It’s rare to see customer service this sharp and thoughtful - 5/5 stars!“

“Johana made our experience at First Watch exceptional. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind from the moment we sat down. She checked on us at just the right times, made great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. Even though the restaurant was busy, she stayed upbeat and made us feel like a priority. It’s rare to come across service that feels so genuine, and Johana absolutely delivered. If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for her. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Johana, for making our breakfast such a great experience!“
