50 Best American Restaurants near Windsor Mill

“I loved Jae's Grill, the all day breakfast is a good idea for retired people! The servers were friendly and hospitable, the food was good and the place was clean and inviting. I will definitely be returning here for lunch too for the Homemade soups! 🙂“

“The new management is definitely better than previous owner. The lady that takes the order is always so friendly and that’s every time you go there. My food is always the same every time I go and that’s good that why I keep going back. You won’t be disappointed“

“First time me n my girls came to this place and I must say it was so much fun, they have crabs and good food and vibes but they shots at the W lounge be hitting they definitely not a medicine cup shot.Our waiter Tor was amazing kind and very attentive we definitely going back thanks for the good experience.“

“I called my order in. A french toast platter with fried eggs and turkey bacon. With a side of home fries with onions and green peppers.I have to start off by saying from the first bite of the home fries I knew that the food was going to be delicious. And it in fact was. The only thing I wouldn’t get next time is the turkey bacon.There was a bit of a wait in the store but that’s just because their food is so good.It’s definitely on the pricey side. My food came up to $20 which was shocking to me. Usually a French toast platter will be around $10 and home fries probably $4. Nonetheless at least the food was good.The service was great as well. The lady at the counter greeted everyone when they got to the front of the counter and everyone got a “thank you, thank you very much” after they received their order. It’s refreshing to see customer service being a priority.I wouldn’t go here too often because they a bit expensive. But I will surely return.“

“I usually have lunch at Glyndon Grill about once a month, and it never disappoints. My go-to is the Glyndon Burger — cooked to perfection and consistently delicious every time. Maybe one day I will try something different. Great service at a fair price, and the team always makes you feel welcome. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares about the customer experience.“

“I was on the way to lunch and saw a coworker of mine's walking to Terry's cafe. At the time I didn't know he was going to Terry's cafe, I picked him up he took me there and I ordered my food. They were so friendly the food delicious and the owners were very courteous and professional and even gave me 3 chocolate chip cookies free. Highly recommended 5 stars if I could give more I will give them 10 stars.“

“This place was amazing we went 2 days in a row!!!
We were visiting Baltimore for an event and we're exploring some restaurants. For breakfast we chose Miss Shirleys and I can confidently say this is the best food I've had in a while, especially in breakfast category.
We had their chicken breast tenders and sweet waffles, fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, brisket, and eggs with sausage. Food was amazing !!!!! I highly recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy delicious food and great atmosphere!!!“

“Food and service is outstanding“

“What a great atmosphere and food was great! Will return and highly recommend 👍“

“Ordered the army breakfast. Eggs were over done, sausage was under cooked and the entire meal was cold. Could have had a better breakfast at a homeless shelter. First and last time.“

“Dined on our anniversary and were greeted with a congratulatory card and glass of champagne. Our server, Lauren, was a rock star. We couldn't decide on a bottle of wine to order and she brought three samples for us to try, which made the decision easy. The food was excellent and you must try the Brussel sprouts appetizer. Save room for desert and don't skip the crème brûlée!“

“Tae the bartender was super accommodating! She is so sweet and her drinks matches her energy … LIT“

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.“

“Food and service were both amazing at Topside. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. We were even brought a champagne toast on the house, and a non-alcoholic one for my wife (she had ordered an N/A drink earlier), which was a great gesture. I will definitely be back. The Sticky Toffee Pudding dessert special was a real highlight.“

“We enjoyed a lovely brunch here on a beautiful Fall day. We loved the historic building and the lovely treed grounds surrounding it. The food was outstanding and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend!“

“We had the fried green tomatoes as our first appetizer. They were tender and topped with lumps of crabmeat. Spectacular! Then we had the fried cheese appetizer. I can’t remember the name of the cheese, but it was delicious in the accompanying sauce and olive oil and pesto. All of the dishes we had came out perfect. My filet medallions were so tender,they melted in my mouth. Hubby got the pork loin over mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts and loved it. We will definitely come back!“

“Thanks for making our Thanksgiving Dinner!“

“Adorable and quirky cafe that is 100% worth all the hype, the long waits, and the hard-to-snag reservations. I visited Golden West Cafe on a Sunday afternoon with a moderately large group (7 people). We were originally hoping for a brunch reservation but could only snag a 3 PM slot -- a testament to how incredibly popular they are -- although we ended up being ready at 2 PM and called ahead to ask if they could seat us earlier. They, very graciously, were able to make space for us to come a tad earlier.

The food was absolutely incredible -- it was some combination of American comfort and Mexican / Latin American, with classic Mexican items like huevos ranchos, fish tacos, and enchiladas right next to traditional American brunch selections like chicken and waffles, hot cakes, and so forth. Their menu is also remarkably vegetarian / vegan-friendly, and it features their own house-made vegan chicken!

We decided to split a few items, including the zucchini brie hot cakes, fish tacos, and vegan hot honey chicken and waffles. All three were outstanding, but my favorite had to be the zucchini brie hot cakes. The cakes were remarkably soft and fluffy, and I loved the bit of sweetness from the zucchini (and maple syrup, of course), and the extra hit of rich creaminess and savoriness from the brie. It was the perfect sweet and savory combo, and it was easily one of the biggest surprises of the meal.

The rest of the items were also delicious, although not quite as wowing.The fish tacos were well-fried and flavorful, and I was quite impressed by how crispy and thin their accompanying fries were. I really enjoyed the flavor of the hot honey vegan chicken and waffles, but I was, admittedly, a little bit thrown off by the texture of both. It's very possible that the waffle had just gotten a bit soggy because I ate this dish last and it wasn't quite at its peak freshness. Either way, I really enjoyed my time here, and it's 100% worth I try. I can't wait to make my way back to Hampden to sample the rest of their menu!“

“Went to Jake’s Grill, I got a half rack of ribs, chicken sandwich, coleslaw and macaroni and cheese.
The food is OUTSTANDING! This was my first visit and I was really impressed. The staff were friendly and helpful 😊👍🏽. The atmosphere is great because the staff is super friendly! Definitely going back!!!
You gotta go try it! It’s reasonably priced and worth it! Sorry I don’t have any photos, maybe next time!“

“When you want old school charm and history in Ellicott City, this is your stop. I haven't been in years, first time for lunch and couldn't be more satisfied. Their stuffed mushrooms caps was all crab meat, delish. Their Steak wrap was better than a cheesesteak sammie. Herman was on his service game!“

“I had fried chicken and French fries, and it was exactly how I like it. It was well done and well-seasoned. Actually, it was the best and had it twice in a row. He listened to what I wanted, and he made it happened.“

“Great service, nice portions, and Everything was 10 outta 10. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Highly recommended 👌🏾“

“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!“

“When looking for a place to eat a good and reasonably priced meal in an area where most eateries are affiliated with chains, this is definitely a place to keep in mind. Everything about it is satisfying: There is a nice variety on the menu, but it isn't overloaded, the ambiance is pleasant and not noisy at all; the staff is friendly and not afraid to give advice; and the food is well prepared and presented. So while it may not rank at the top of the scale, it's a solid option for a good meal.“

“The staff, food, drinks, decor, outdoor dining with a large TV and the large parking lot are some of the best around.“

“I love to stop in for lunch with my son & grandson when in Catonsville. Really enjoy the tomato basil soup with grilled cheese sandwich! (Traditional but SO good!)“

“Enjoyed having brunch here! The mussels were delicious and we had excellent service from Logan! Food was brought out fresh & hot, drinks were cold & refreshing & dessert was worth it! We will be back! Thanks!“

“Oh boy, let me tell you about the pre-game magic we experienced at Johnny's! With a high school state championship soccer game at Loyola on our agenda, my friend, her daughter, and I were on the hunt for the perfect spot to fuel up before the excitement. And boy, did we hit the jackpot with Johnny's! Walking into Johnny's was like finding a hidden gem in a treasure map. The cozy vibes wrapped around us like a warm blanket on a chilly Sunday—it was just what we needed! We settled ourselves at the bar, eager for some drinks and snacks, and that’s where the real fun began. Our bartender was nothing short of a beverage maestro! I ordered a cortado that was so perfectly crafted I nearly swooned. Seriously, it should have been on the cover of a coffee magazine! And let me tell you about their wine list—it’s like a unique art piece. I picked a Pinot Noir to accompany my house-made Old Bay chips, and it was such a delightful pairing that I felt like a sophisticated sommelier for a moment. Now, my bourbon-loving friend was over the moon to discover that Johnny's stocked his all-time favorite brand, FEW. After indulging in wine and coffee that could make any day brighter, we just had to cap off our relaxed Sunday with a round of bourbon. Because what’s a pre-game without a little celebratory sip, right? My friend and her daughter were enjoying their vanilla latte and mocha to the fullest—let’s just say the smiles on their faces were positively radiant! And the cookies? Oh my goodness! The gingerbread and peanut butter cookies were instant crowd-pleasers. I’m pretty sure I’d fight a bear for another bite! Now, here’s the kicker: my friend might live in sunny Florida, but I’m ready to brave the Washington Beltway traffic any time just to return to Johnny's. If they nail snacks and drinks this well before a soccer game, I can't even imagine what kind of culinary genius they have up their sleeves! So, Johnny's, you’ve stolen my heart (and my taste buds)—I’m already counting down the days until my next visit!“

“The fish was amazing and the jazz room is the perfect vibe for a first date or a cocktail with best friend! Absolutely loved it“

“absolutely everything food is delicious👌🏼 drinks fron bar are the best❤ service excelent. beatifull place🤩“

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

“Fast, Friendly and Delicious“

“The rotisserie chicken and potatoes were absolutely incredible—perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The beet and red coleslaw was tasty, though a touch more acidity would have made it even better.

Sitting out in the courtyard with the cool, refreshing breeze made for a truly wonderful dining experience. It's the perfect spot to hang out with a big group of friends. The staff were also super friendly!

P.S. check out the restroom! It feels like stepping down into a medieval underground dungeon/cellar, which was really cool.“

“Tasty food and great service. Highly-recommended.“

“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.“

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

“New to this restaurant, i thought the food was amazing and decently priced. Though small, the building is well lit. However, it still has the typical issues that restaurants can’t seem to solve such as dirty itchy seats, horrendously filthy utensils, and the waiters thinking you’re ready to order not even a couple minutes after entering the restaurant.“

“If you are looking for a friendly staff, outstanding management, and great monthly specials, Oscar's in Marroitsville is the place to be. No matter how busy, their servers and wait staff click like well tunes watches. No waiting for checks, drinks, or food. All delivered on time just when you think it should. To top of your experience the friendly management is always making their rounds to shake your hand, talk to your mother-n-law, and make you feel special. The family feel they have developed shows with repeat customers, relationships, and openness in their seating plan.“

“The food, staff, and atmosphere is always great.“

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

“I love the food Mom, and Poppa are amazing!!!“

“My wife and I came there for our three year anniversary of our marriage and Leena was our waitress. The level of service from start to finish was amazing and the food was 5-star. Compliments to Leena, the hostess, and the chefs who prepared the meal and provided such an amazing experience for our first time coming there. Thank you!“

“Hubby and I enjoy the salads from here. They have standard salads but you can also customize them. As well, the employees who work there are always nice and helpful.“

“Came in to get out of the heat some before we headed over to TailGoat. Naturally at Pickles Pub we had to try some pickles. Got the spears and rounds and really enjoyed them both. Big sports bar, can see why its a great hangout. Staff was super friendly. Hear its a staple of Baltimore, so you've got to check it out at least once!“
