“It’s was so nice to go out for an adult meal. The food, service and atmosphere were all 5 star. We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary, and we will be back before our 41st!“

“Terri’s Café is wonderful! I regularly use them for catered executive lunches and dinners, and they never disappoint. The food is always fresh, homemade, and delicious. I especially appreciate that they use all white-meat chicken breast, and everything is seasoned perfectly. something for every palate.  Their delivery is always on time, which is so important when you’re coordinating an executive meal. And for the quality and generous portions, their pricing is very reasonable, which makes them an excellent value for catering.  Beyond the amazing food and service, Terri’s Café is family-owned, and the owners are genuinely lovely people. You can tell they take great pride in what they do and truly care about their customers.  I highly recommend Terri’s Café for catering or just a great meal. They are consistently reliable, delicious, reasonably priced, and a pleasure to work with!“

“The best barbecue in central maryland. Great food and down-to-earth people working there. Jake is a friendly and welcoming owner. He treats you like your his only customer of the day. It's a hole in the wall which is why it can't get five stars for atmosphere but also what makes it special as well.“

“Good food and great service ⭐️“

“Imagine you’re blind and you order the Kent Island fish sandwich and take a bite and suddenly your vision starts coming back.
Then you start eating the side salad and boom you have 20/20 vision and you’re seeing colors you’ve never seen before.
That’s the only way I can describe the food. Incredible.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“ASK FOR TAG ! They are an amazing server, water glass is always full, drinks were quick, and they're quick with the humor 😂 Always a wonderful experience at Mother's. Food is hot and delicious. Make sure to tip him well cause he deserves it !!“

“Real food the way Baltimoreans like it. Regular white sandwich bread for soft crabs Fried Liver and onions with bacon also. Rare Prime Rib. Just good home cooked food.They miss on a few items but,I've been going for 45 years and it doesn't disappoint. Service is friendly and excellent. Hope it never changes.“

“It was our pleasure to have Becca as our server today, she was attentive, friendly and she is an asset to Friday's!!“

“This was my husband and I's first time at McFauls. We came for a late lunch and chose to eat at the outside bar. The menu, food and prices were all amazing! Our bartender, Jake was very personable and friendly and gave perfect service!!! Delicious drinks! Everything was above and beyond. There were so many delicious choices on the menu, we can't wait to come back to try more! We had the buffalo chicken wonton special, the Italian stallion sub special and I got the blackened Mahi Mahi tacos all 10/10.“

“The 3 course family style meal is delicious, from the appetizers to the ice cream dessert. the wait staff is friendly and attentive.“

“Best Burger I've ever had!“

“No one answers called 9 times in a row“

“This is a typical bar with with bar food. No Different than TGI Friday, except a little better. The service is "OK" the servers are untrained as to waiting on tables. The first thing that should be brought to tables is eating utensils and napkins, the water. The tables dont have slat & pepper available for their patrons, you need to ask for it. The menus are not placed in front of customers upside down. (And I even brought it to her attention and she still didn’t correct it) ?? All in all the server was trying very hard to be attentive. The food was not terrible, it's typical bar food, and dont expect anything more. The Boom Boom shrimp are pre breaded frozen shrimp with the tails on and then fried and covered in some type of sauce. My daughter liked the boneless chicken wings with hot sauce. The onion rings I thought were good. I ordered the toasted Italian sub and wasn't offered the option to get tater tots -vs- fries. I didn’t realize this till later and the fries were soggy. I think this is an "OK" spot for someone looking for a bar atmosphere and same for the food & service.“

“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!!!“

“Great food! We ordered 3 ham, egg, and cheese croissants, a tuna melt on a sun-dried tomato bagel, and a cheese bagel with veggie cream cheese on a Sunday morning around 8:30 AM. It wasn’t too busy, the food was delicious, and everything was made quickly for takeout. About $30 for all of those items felt very reasonable. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Shoutout to Yamil!

I stopped in today for a late lunch and early dinner. The new setup threw me off at first since I'm used to ordering at the counter and then finding my own seat. It wasn't a big deal, I just wasn't expecting the change!

Before long, I spotted a familiar face. Yamil has been here since the grand opening, or at least it feels that way! His customer service is always efficient, friendly, genuine, and welcoming.

He recommended the skirt steak, and it was a great recommendation. It seems the recipe has returned to what it was before COVID, which was a pleasant surprise. My meal arrived hot and absolutely delicious.

As always, it's a pleasure dining here. I prefer this location over the Columbia, MD location any day of the week! I'll definitely be back and hope to see more familiar faces.

Thanks again, Yamil!“

“The golf course was in great shape.“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Mission-BBQ in Owings Mills. The food was great, the service was great and the dining room was emmaculate. This was my first time here. I tried to salmon, collards, and mac and cheese. Food quality was very good. I even had a really pleasant encounter with one of their employees, Tyon. Nice kid! I will be back! Thank you!“

“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.“
