21 Best American Restaurants in Towson

“I loved this place so much, everyone was super nice and the food was amazing. Definitely worth the price. Wasn’t very fully only a few people scattered around, the only complaint was that the bathroom sink wasn’t the best. (One of the taps didn’t work and the sinks were dirty)“

“Suri GETS DOWNNNN best employee there great customer service handled everything perfect and with love the way they treat us the customers will definitely be going there again love there food it’s so well made with a lot of love #2AMPROJECT“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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 attempted to pationiz Peri Peri Original but the three people behind the counter couldn't open their mouths to speak...... So I'm on my way to Nando's.
Tip: Greet people when they enter your establishment, they don't have to spend their money with you.
****UPDATE 8/17/25
I had to change my original review that was negative. My second attempt was extremely positive. The staff was attentive and courteous which was an improvement and the food was delicious.“

“food is great as always never disappoints“

“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.“

“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 !!!“

“Great breakfast sandwiches“

“My family and I have been going here for years and have always been happy with the food. Most of the time we get sushi but on occasion I will get the tempura. As far as the sushi goes they are pretty creative with their rolls. I particularly like the variety of cooked rolls that they have - absolutely delicious.“

“My go to spot when on jury duty. Stop in for a quick bite. Friendly and attentive staff. The pub was lively with live performance! Chili was delicious with nice touch of heat! Steamed shrimp were fresh, plump and seasoned with old bay, Bmore style! Ice cold Blue Moon off the tap! Nice treat my go to spot in Towson!😋“

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

“It really does not get any better than this! We arrived at 6:00 PM to enjoy Half Price Burger Night at the Rec Room. We were warmly greeted by Kelly. My husband had his favorite – a blue cheese burger with French fries. My brother and I decided to go big and order the Black n Blue Burger. He had his blackened – I had mine plain. Both were topped with melted Bleu Cheese Crumbles, Sautéed Onion, Mushrooms and Roasted Red Peppers. We both decided on Sweet Potato Fries with our burgers. The burgers we ordered were cooked and prepared to our specifications and were delicious. The fries were crispy, not greasy, and seasoned perfectly. Both Kelly and Rich took excellent care of us. We all thoroughly enjoyed our Burger Night at the Rec Room.“

“Nick the manager was the bartender today came in to the restaurant at 3:30pm I had a long day at work and he gave me the best service ever he made my drink to perfection ( Tito's and lemonade) and made me laugh as well! He made the atmosphere very welcoming! Nick was by far was the best and I will be returning to Applebees because he really made it very comfortable... I give Nick 10,0000 stars! Thanks“
