22 Best American Restaurants in Towson

“I celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday. It was a beautiful experience and budget friendly. The food was great and customer service was very good. The ambience was nice and the music was not loud. I am giving a 4 star only because we hoped the place would have a little dessert for the birthday girl. Overall my experience was great. Will recommend.“

“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.“

“This was my first time visiting at The Real Thing and it did not disappoint. I tried the chicken cheesesteak and it was delicious. It was full of meat and toppings. The hot sauce was a nice addition but if you don’t like your food too spicy, get it on the side. My daughter had the regular cheesesteak and it was equally good. We will definitely be back!!“

“Probably the best chicken sandwich I have ever tasted. The buffalo fried chicken sandwich is what I ordered and it is hands down the best spicy chicken sandwich I ever tasted. What ever they fried the fries in had them tasting great also. With the garlic sauce to dip them in. Definitely coming back to try other stuff om the menu!“

“Mr. Fries Man is seriously unfair when it’s far from me 😂 I tasted everything right away and was low-key mad because it was THAT good. Hot, fresh, and packed with flavor.

Heads up: it’s definitely a grab-and-go spot. No seating inside (and none outside either, at least when I went), so plan to eat elsewhere if you’re trying to sit down. Still 100% worth it.

I got the Philly cheesesteak fries and they were 🔥 — perfectly seasoned fries, tender steak, and the right amount of cheese. Grabbed crab fries for her and those slapped too.

be ready to eat in your car or take it somewhere nearby — because when it’s fresh, this place goes CRAZY lol.“

“My husband and I ate there last night and the food was outstanding. It was our first time. We will be back.“

“food is great as always never disappoints“

“The food and service was wonderful.... cook did not originally prepare my wife's meal right but it was taken back without incident and prepared correctly and supplemented with extra toppings as a bonus. Overall, would definitely go back.“

“I stop by once in a blue moon- most recently on the Saturday before Christmas while finishing up my shopping. I overheard a staff member telling another customer the wild salmon Niçoise was her favorite so I decided to order it. It was delicious, packed with flavor and very filling. I would absolutely order it again.

This location’s interior would benefit from an interior upgrade or even just a refresh. Of course the space is still functional, but it has a 90s/early 2000s feel to it and it would be nice to see how it would feel with some new touches. New tables and better lighting can really go a long way.“

“We were staying at the Sheraton, so this was very convenient for us. The first night we were there we went to the bar for a couple drinks, the bartender was very friendly and she made a nice strong drink. On night number two, we went back to the bar, the drinks were great again, so we decided to have a little late night food. The wings were great, nice and crispy and well seasoned, the crab stuffed mushrooms were small and lacked flavor. We had the same bartender, who again was extremely fun to talk to. All in all this is a good spot if you are traveling and staying in the area.“

“Best food in Towson hands down! I drive Uber in the area and this is where I stop almost 2-4 times a week for the chicken cheesesteak. Tried a few other things on the menu and everything was great, but the chicken cheesesteak is just too good!! Great owners also, I don't even like a customer when I go, I feel like family.“

“Great breakfast sandwiches“

“Super fast service, nice staff and great food! Seated, ordered, ate and out the door in an hour 15 min. 👍🏽“

“I had an amazing time at the point in towson with dj josh bing at wicked night. It was so fun and such good music. i had the best time !!!“

“the appetizers are the best i didn’t like our entrees at all so next time i’ll just get a bunch of apps and the cheesecake omg so delicious i had lemon meringue and i’m def getting that again and tiramisu was good also“

“Disappointed with the ordering process on the box by the doorway near the koi fish tank. Most of the items were blank so I couldn’t see what they look like and took a gamble on ordering the boss roll. It was good and the salmon roll was good .“

“Melanie was amazing! Although there was a miscommunication about a reservation we had, she was able to quickly find meaningful solutions.
I enjoyed the pineapple crush as well as the nachos and mozzarella sticks. My friends and I had a great time here. One of the best spots in Towson Uptown.“

“Awesome meal for a reasonable price. Unbelievable wine list. I will eat here again with my family.“

“Samuel helped me with my order over the phone , very polite very accurate !!!! I’ll come back !!!“

“My wife and I were going to a fundraiser at The Recher, an event venue on York Rd. in Towson. We hadn't had dinner. The organizers told us that we could go nextdoor to The Rec Room, order food to go, and bring it back into The Recher.

This is a review of The Rec Room.

The Rec Room is a sports bar that also serves American and Mexican adjacent cuisine.

My wife had steak quesadilla and sweet potato fries. I had blackened salmon soft tacos and a salad. All were delicious.

The venue is neat and clean. There are plenty of TV screens showing sports. Service was friendly and efficient. The venue is wheelchair accessible. Parking is paid street parking and a public lot around the corner, paid until 6pm, then free after 6.“

“The service and food was top tier. The hostess was very polite and immediately seated us. Our waitress, Kyjay (sp?) was amazing. She greeted us with a smile and checked on our table multiple times. Our food was delicious, and we even purchased a gift card for my sister for Christmas.“
