24 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.“

“Stopped by the point in Towson to try Tyler’s bday bash pop up menu. ABSOLUTELY incredible! Everything was perfect, we started with the Crab Rangoon Dip then we had the Ramen, lo mein and the shrimp fried rice. 10/10 experience!“

“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!!“

“This place makes food from the heart !!! I felt like I had a home cooked meal and now I’m ready to go to sleep lol !! THE BUTTER CHICKEN SANDWICH IS FIIIIREEEE !!!! That’s all I needed and it filled me up ! Compliments to the chef for putting love into it !!!!“

“food is great as always never disappoints“

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

“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.“

“I’m a fairly regular bar guy with this location. Dan and James are both excellent the ladies are all amazing as well. They know the bar they know the food, and they are all particularly grand at recommending food to go with your chosen libation(s)! Yes I’ve been coming since October of 2024 it’s now April 2025, I will be back! A1“

“We had a wonderful lunch here recently, thanks to Yamil who was very efficient and extremely helpful in menu suggestions.

It is service like this that makes all the difference - we really appreciate it and can't wait to return when we are back in Baltimore again.“

“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.“

“Great breakfast sandwiches“

“When I entered this business, there was only one person taking orders and her name is Kamya. She was in the kitchen cooking a customer’s order and greeted me. She directed me to the kiosk to order and was very kind. I stepped out to get ice cream and came back. My food was done and she saw that I had a lot of bags and even asked me if I needed help. Customers continued to come in and she was kind greeting everyone with a smile, while going back and forth to the kitchen to fill orders.

The customer service was great and she was doing EVERYTHING on her own which makes it even more amazing. My food was good and I will be back! 🙂“

“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.“

“The service was okay. My waitress came to our table 4 times. Never asked if I wanted another drink, never brought us water. It was a very odd experience.
The food is good there, but pricey. I do love getting sushi Hana, but usually take out. Tonight was sit down. The atmosphere is very bland and not pleasant. For the cost of two to eat there, you would expect a little bit more. I think I will have to order pick up vs. sit down.
The shrimp tempura and temptations rolls are my two personal favorites.“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“I can't thank them enough for the great experience. Especially M nylon i had great service, didn't spend a lot of money at all.Had two appetizers, a ton of drinks didn't even cost me over sixty bucks the guy was attentive the whole time, as well as the manager being there when I gave this compliment, please give this guy an upgrade, he deserves it. He's a great dude, great place.I will be 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.“

“First time here , I called my order in and I got Honey Lemon & Old Bay Honey 10 FLATS. They were good . I will go back. My food was a combo and it came with a medium drink for $18 I feel like they should give a LARGE CUP SIZE for ten pieces of chicken that’s $20Bucks!“
