New American Restaurants near Towson, MD

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! 🙂“

“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.“

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

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

“Amazing dining experience! This is the perfect spot to have a fantastic meal and unmatched cocktails. The team is attentive and helpful, and the menu offers an imaginative assortment of tasty options. Owners Nancy and Jerry (who is also the chef) are frequently interacting with guests and making sure that each guest is having the perfect dining experience. Inclusive and warm, this duo created our very favorite place in Baltimore!“

“Everything delicious and the customer service was A1. ,didn’t even have to wait long for my food.“

“Great food and great atmosphere. Thanks for tipping me off to this place Jtw Woods. I’ll return“

“Marta manages to be both lively and cozy simultaneously in a rowhouse that previously housed Salt (one of my all time favorite upscale restaurants) We went for a friend's birthday, and all 3 courses were delicious, beautifully presented, inventive, and not the same old menu that you find everywhere. Very sweet wait staff was super attentive, educated about the food and wine and made great suggestions. Our original wait staff had an emergency and had to leave in the middle of service, but seamlessly another wait person stepped in to covered us. Kudos to the front of house team for handling with such skill and ease. But the food was definitely the star of the show. For me, the standout was the tuna cannoli. I'm not even sure I can do justice to this deliciousness with a crunchy outer "cannoli" shell with a slight hint of sweet surrounding a creamy center of tuna crudi with little dots of avocado cream. And all was covered with a pistachio "dust." The spicy meatballs were delectable nestled in a cloud of creamy spicy ricotta. And the Duck and Foie Gras Panzotti (little triangle ravioli) was creamy, delicious and the perfect combination of delicate tastes. And the Tiramisu Affogato ended the dinner on a delicious note! And for two people with drinks it was really pretty a good deal for the quality if the food, service and location. We will be back! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5“

“I've never had a bad meal or a bad time here. I've been here often and enjoy all the food. Jerk chicken is one of my favorite foods, and theirs is on point! The flavor is great, and it's tender and juicy. I got an order of plantains the other day, and they were honestly the best Ive had at a restaurant. I like my plantains a certain way, not cut too thick, not slimy, and a little crisp around the edges... they got it perfectly. Their veggie chunks and curry chickpeas are great, even for the non-vegans. Service is impeccable, and I've always been treated well, with prompt attention. Even when it's busy, the staff maintains great service. The dining area is clean and well decorated, and is great for a solo visit, group trip, or even to host/attend an event. I've done them all. The dining area also serves as a retail space with plenty of books, herbs, incense, etc. It's always a pleasure.“

“Last night, my wife and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with dinner at Charleston in Baltimore—and it truly may have been the dining experience of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail was astounding: perfectly curated ambiance, gracious and attentive service, and a beautifully paced tasting menu. Every dish was a revelation, from the wine pairing thoughtfully selected to complement each course, to the impeccable presentation and exquisite flavors. The staff made the evening feel utterly seamless and special. It was our first visit to Charleston, and it stands out as the perfect place to mark such a milestone. Thank you to everyone—from the kitchen team to our servers—for creating such a memorable, delightful evening. A hearty thank you for making our 20th anniversary absolutely perfect“

“Had a great first Brunch experience! I've always loved Copper Shark HH and dinners, but I planned a brunch for 6 friends to celebrate a friends upcoming baby and everything was perfect! They let me in a few minutes before opening to decorate the table on the patio and the hostess was so nice in assisting me. The food and vibes were both great and we had a wonderful time!“

“There are not enough stars in the sky to give this place. Talk about creating fantastic dishes they make such wonderful flavor combinations. They use fresh ingredients it’s very evident in the high quality of food that they provide. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing and the vibes are indescribable. My waiter was Jimmy today I ordered the Halibut after I asked what it was 😂😂😂. He told me it was delicious and one of his favorite fish. The man was spot on it was absolutely amazing how every was seasoned and grilled to beyond perfection. My girlfriend ordered the Chicken Chesapeake it was an absolute hit.I don’t know which one was better but I’d love to have a serving of either one again anytime. Oysters were perfect this place has quickly become a huge place of interest. We both look forward to returning and I will suggest this amazing food to anyone. What great food and a great time.“

“Had their special rum drink. Quite tasty. 14.00
Then had the chicken liver hash hangover cure. Very very good. Presentation was terrific. Eggs were perfect overeasy
I think it was 16.00 (maube 17.00) drinks and food there are inventive and not sloppy. I had a zekes coffee there too 5.00. More than I wanted to spend, but everything was carefully prepared, like in a super exclusive downtown restaurant. Informal atmosphere. Not pretentious. Spent to much but really enjoyed it“

“Awesome bar, great beer selection and delicious food“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Citron Baltimore while celebrating a friend’s birthday! The owner, Charles, and his wife were incredibly nice and friendly, making us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Their hospitality truly set the tone for a memorable evening. The food was nothing short of amazing—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was incredible, with a perfect blend of elegance and warmth that made the celebration extra special. Highly recommend this gem of a spot—can’t wait to come back!“

“I’ve been twice and each time I’ve enjoyed the service. Each staff member greeted me was polite, was prompt and courteous. The food is delicious and a great ambiance overall. I can’t wait to go again!“

“Very good place. I generally prefer smaller owner operated establishments to big national or international chains. It always feels better to spend your money with them and when the overall experience is as rewarding as it is here it’s extra good!! Props to Spoons, they ace it“

“Very nice place ! Very friendly staff! Great food !! Great service!! Highly recommend!!“

“Brunch was delicious and the sculpture garden was lovely.“

“Good food and great service ⭐️“

“Everything from the ambiance, the decor, to the immaculate cocktails, and entrees. They are truly a culinary experience, right in my small quaint neighborhood. Feel so lucky to be so close to them and to share the neighborhood space.“

“This is the third time we have been to this diner. The wings are very good. They have a very inclusive menu which is very helpful with people with allergies. It is also the only place I found an option without having to alter anything in the recipe. I wish they would add a df notation on the menu like they have gf and v. I was so happy to find delicious hummus and cauliflower pita. The bartender was thoroughly looking through their allergy menu (they need an updated one) which was very nice. It is busy there but today we really only had to wait for the check. They also have dairy free milk shakes!“

“Simply put…W O W! The history alone drew me to stop in. The food will keep me coming back! If you haven’t, why? Incredible crabs and a clean, relaxed atmosphere and staff! See y’all again SOON!“

“A tremendous club/restaurant…the cuisine was delicious, the staff able and cordial, the establishment is clean/well run. The strolling violinist and MC were nice touches. The DJ played music that my age demographic can party to. I’m from Detroit….very impressive.“

“I just wanted to say what an awesome experience Barracudas and Billy provided for my family. We held a surprise 90th birthday party for my Mom there on Saturday and it was perfect. The food was delicious as usual and the service was phenomenal. Abby did a great job taking care of us. Big shout out to the kitchen staff and everyone else who assisted in making my Mom feel loved and appreciated. I live 2 hours from the restaurant, but I make it a point to stop in almost everytime for food and drinks. Everyone has their own opinion concerning the restaurant and staff. In 10 years I have never had a bad experience here or seen anything out of the ordinary reacting to the staff or ownership. I have seen intoxicated patrons but that's it. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal or a drink. You won't be disappointed.“

The welcoming atmosphere makes it feel like home. We look forward to coming back every few weeks and definitely are interested in coming your way the special dinner events.“

“The service is always friendly & respectful. The food is consistently good & what you want. It is the best meat over rice platter I have ever had in my 10 years of getting this dish! Their other food is good too. Burgers & chicken sandwiches!
It’s a carry out in a gas station that is clean & well kept. I like that there are other small business people that work from this gas station.“

“Home cooking. Staff is friendly and helpful.“

“Having moved from New Jersey This comes close to the pizza I know and love“

“Stopped in yesterday for the first time!!! I have never felt more comfortable in a bar before. ..I can not wait to go back!! The owner is a wonderful person and the grilled cheese was one of the best I have ever had. I could go on and on....again I am already planning my next trip!!“
