50 Best American Restaurants near Severna Park

“Great little place. Definitely kind of hidden in a little strip. Drove by it for about 8 months and never noticed it. Large portion of food. Homefries were really good. Had to add salt and pepper to the chipped beef but was decent. Coffee was nothing special. Great little spot with great service.“

“Sat outdoors to enjoy fantastic food from an exceptional tavern menu. The beer-on-tap options were many, samples offered to hear your selection choice wheels. Service staff treated us and our two dogs more like friends than people at a table. So by and enjoy the hospitality 💯“

“was pleasantly surprised how good everything was. the i got the hatch burger and we shared the fish and chips. Burger was great but I added Carmel onion. As for the fish and chips the fish was breaded to perfection. crunchy/c crispy and the meat was also nicely done. I'm not very big on tartar sauce but the one they provided was excellent one of the best I've had. would definitely come again!!“

“This was our third time at Gary’s, and once again it was spectacular. Although your table has a primary server, the whole team works in concert to keep the customers happy. We had several special requests, and every time the response was “let me see if we can do that.” It just so happened that they could accommodate all of our requests. The food was fantastic as always. But the real magic happened at the end of the meal – just as we were asking for the check, there was a medical incident with one of our kids. All available staff immediately came to our rescue with resources and reassurances and enough bodies to create a privacy wall while we stabilized the situation, and I was able to get our kiddo bundled up and in the car in a hurry while my spouse payed the check.“

“Romilo’s is such a gem in the community! Their happy hour and game day specials are hard to beat, with delicious wings, pizza, and plenty of other favorites to enjoy. It’s always a welcoming spot to gather with friends. A big shoutout to Jenn, the manager, who goes above and beyond—her warmth and genuine care for customers makes every visit even better. Highly recommend!“

“Good food and incredibly friendly service!! Great atmosphere - we will be back again & again!!“

“On behalf of our group of 17 friends who chose Adam’s Grille to celebrate the life of a dear friend Vena who passed a couple of months ago, I would like to thank LeAnn, Joe, Rose of their staff who made our gathering warm, memorable and tasty. They went beyond the call of duty to set a section of tables aside for us. Everyone was able to order their favorite dishes that were served promptly, hot and delicious. From chili to pastrami sandwiches to hamburgers and more we chowed down our food and raised a toast to Vena. Everyone loved their food! Adam’s Grille was chosen in large part because it was Vena’s favorite restaurant. It is now our favorite restaurant. Thanks for making our time so special .“

“We just stopped in and had the best sandwiches along with wonderful customer service. Highly recommend this place! The little bell that Brenda rings, was such a fun gesture, when using rewards! Will be back & will be using them for catering in the near future! 🖤 Nicole & Pat“

“Just recently moved to Severna Park, and accidentally came upon JB’s. Food is good and service is good. Bar tender Ricko is great . Large tv’s everywhere and for the money cannot be beat.“

“I had a large catering order for a construction meeting in DC. They asked for something new. Since I love Julep's, I brought some for my customers. Emily was great from start to finish and helped me make a good menu. I asked for the order to be ready by 1030am and they made it happen. Everyone loved the food. You don't win friends with salad. Highly recommend!“

“Great small plates and cocktails. Love the rooftop atmosphere“

“Great home cooked food, locally sourced! Nothing like homemade ice cream!!!“

“Every thing was Amazing the view, service, food and drinks!! This is definitely a hidden gem! We will definitely be back!“

“Stopped by for a late outdoor dinner. Ordered at the window and staff was amazing and friendly. Amira was especially friendly. We were devastated you ran out of cotton candy ice cream, but we still had a great night with great service.“

“This restaurant is my happy place! My favorite restaurant in Maryland. I have never had a bad experience here. The food is always delicious, the service is wonderful, and the location can’t be beat.“

“This place had zero misses. The lady who greeted us was kind and moved swiftly when we asked if we could sit outside with a fire pit. they got the table set up and brought us extra blankets to make sure we were super comfortable (it was about 50 degrees outside). Between the heated lamp above head and fire pit at the table, we were surprised at how warm we actually felt. Rory was our server and he was so nice, knew the menu and specials, and helped us narrow down what to order. he regularly checked on us in between brining out food. Speaking of food.., the STAR OF THE SHOW. crab dip was 10/10. brussel sprouts were 10/10. fried lobster tails were 10/10. salmon salad was 10/10. bread pudding was 10/10. i kept waiting for an average item to be brought out and it never happened !!! i just went last night and already have it on my calendar to go with family in 2 weeks!“

“From start to finish, it was awesome. Food, Wine, Dessert & Coffee perfection. The Hostess and our server Jennifer were very friendly and wonderful. First time here but definitely not our last. 10/10 complements to the Chef👍. Our meal started with the Chefs Selection Board, then the special of the day Mushroom Soup, my Husband had the Cast Iron Skirt Steak (flavor was Delish) I had the Chicory Salad with Bacon Bits (minus the pecan nuts) for Dessert I had the FIG & BRIOCHE BREAD PUDDING (heaven in a plate) with the yummy Coffee.“

“I see a lot of these are older reviews and I don’t know if they have since gotten a new chef in the last 3 years but the food is phenomenal and I’m very picky! I look for things to not like and this is my second time here and can’t think of one bad thing. Service is good, but the food is literally outstanding. The mashed potatoes had great flavor as did the veggies - my steak was a tad overdone but it was so tasty it didn’t matter. Crab cake was filled with delicious lump crab! And it had flavor too — I also tried the Korean short ribs on special and they were just SO GOOD! The drinks are also delicious! And I stare at the dessert case every time I come in but I’m always too full to order anything. I guarantee they’re also to die for! Great place!!“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place! Don Chico’s just opened a few months ago, and it’s one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Annapolis. I had the flank steak with rice and beans — it was incredible, slow cooked and perfectly seasoned. The hospitality is next level — warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. You can feel the pride they take in every detail. No doubt this will become a local favorite! Highly recommend!“

“On our first visit we all enjoyed what we ordered and the staff couldn't have been nicer. We will all return. Thank you, Eastport Kitchen!!“

“I had a rehearsal dinner for 97 people including 11 children and a welcome party after for about 100 people. The food was outstanding and the service was exceptional! The children loved the pizza! Taylor, the event coordinator, made this a five star event in every category including STRESS FREE for me being I live in New York! My son and now daughter in law said it couldn’t have been better! Their wedding was on Gibson Island the next day so it was a great start to the weekend!“

“Unique food focused on local products and sustainability. The food is like nothing I’ve had before. Highly recommend the crispy kale appetizer. Love the homemade “sodas” especially the citrus soda and ginger soda.“

“We enjoyed a perfect evening for my son's rehearsal dinner! Blackwall Barn and Lodge is a great place to hold any event! Danny and the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. The food was beyond amazing. I wouldn't hesitate recommending the restaurant/Lodge to anyone. Love the atmosphere.“

“Hidden gem on Tuesdays for the BEST burgers!!! 🍔 Sooooo good!“

“We discovered this gem a few months ago. We love it and been there quite a few times already. Great food and atmosphere!“

“Their food is so reasonably priced and very good. Crab cakes were tasty and full of lump meat and broiled perfectly. The fries are hand cut and delicious, and the salad bar is nice. I also tried the fried okra ( yum) and the green beans were very tasty too. Wait staff was refreshingly friendly and attentive. Don’t be taken aback by the atmosphere. It’s an older place but it’s kept very clean. They also have a full service bar👍“

“Great staff, great food, great hospitality“

“Best restaurant 5stars and clean“

“This is the first time I went to this restaurant and was very pleased with the service, the food was great and we received our food fast. It was very clean and all the employees were very friendly. I will be returning for another great meal.“

“I would highly recommend going and when you go ask for a woman named Cory to be your server. She greeted my family and I right at the entrance and made us feel right at home. I’d say she was close to a kind reader as it comes because she basically knew what we needed before we ever said anything. Our drinks stayed filled and any questions about the menu we had she had the answers. The food came out quickly and was delicious. We will be showing our faces again and will be making Cory our regular server.“

“Cute and fun spot with great service and awesome food. A must try!!“

“For as expensive as it can be to order food for a family from here, we do expect warm and fresh food. our food was barely room tempature and definitely old fries. The ice cream had hair in it. This place has gone down hill fast. Would not recommend.“

“Maddie is an amazing waitress! So accommodating and kind.“

“I came in for a quick breakfast sandwich and found it to be a cozy grab and go vibe. There were no frills. It was a prefect, simple bacon, egg and cheese sandwich for a reasonable price. The 2 people there were super friendly and quick. A great local vibe.“

“Great place! Great food, service and atmosphere ❤️“

“Great restaurant, family friendly, live music, great service. We went on Mother's day and the live music was amazing! There were multiple large families with children and it was truly a great experience. We went with just four of us and we could chat but otherwise listened to the great music and enjoyed our food immensely! The service was super friendly. The bathrooms were clean as well. We had a great parking spot right in the front. We didn't experience the bar area. The food was really good and they had great kid friendly options. Our waitress was great!“

“Level is our favorite spot in Annapolis! It’s perfect for a romantic date night or for a casual dinner, you can truly dress up or down and fit in here. The food is always amazing, even our family (who can be tough critics) were very happy with their food choices. The menu rotates a little seasonally and it’s always fun to try the new items and revisit the permanent items. The cocktails are super creative and you can’t really go wrong with any of them! Some of our current favorites: Harvest Mule, Agave Please for drinks and for food… house fries, tuna poke, ribs, brussel sprouts, and the oysters! Crab Mac and cheese is a must if it’s on the menu! Oh and don’t forget to leave room for dessert, we love all the choices but banana bread pudding is our favorite! 11/10 love coming here.“

“Ignore the exterior, this is the place for breakfast! My wife and I were in the area one day by chance and wanted something not-a-chain-restaurant for breakfast. A quick google search found this little diner tucked away on Camp Meade Rd.

It's not much to look at from the outside, which made me optimistic because some of the VERY BEST food comes from these little dive looking places and LL did NOT disappoint! It was clean, VERY reasonably priced, and clearly a local favorite. Obvious regulars had a fantastic rapport with the staff. Food was served quickly and virtually perfect in all respects.

Very much worth tracking down this little gem, and will absolutely eat there again next time we're in the area!“

“My husband and I had not been here in a while. Went in at 10:30 am on 2/08/25, and I was craving lunch food. They had no issues prepping our lunch and the young man who waited on us was very nice, polite and answered my questions. Food was good and dining room was very clean.“

“Outstanding food and desserts“

“Great experience- great food and atmosphere“

“Great selection, good portions of food. Yummy dessert and ever flowing selections of beer. Oh did I mention great attentive service! First time we visited here to try something new and we will definitely visit again. Thank you 😊“

“We came from out of town to visit and WOW…. Meal was delicious! Wings were spot on and the service was excellent! Highly recommend the crab soup and Philly cheesesteak also!!!“

“Excellent meal with friendly and quick service. The Club, as expected, has nautical theme. Visit their website to view a menu and find the times the Club is opened for members only and available to the general public. If you are visiting the Academy, visit the Club for a meal or a drink at the bar.“

“Incredible food, great service, and a great atmosphere.“

“friendly service great food“

“Wonderful establishment. Great wine selection and the pizza and bartending staff are awesome.“

“The Alley restaurant at the Naval Academy provided a wonderful lunch in the middle of our self-guided tour, and it exceeded our expectations tremendously. Our waitress was so kind and caring for our family, and the crab cake was one of the best I've ever had. Don't miss it!“

“Great food and drinks. Staff is friendly and accommodating.“
