50 Best American Restaurants near Woodsboro

“Ann was our waitress, she brought us our drinks, took our order and never saw her again
(someone else brought us our food). Not one time did she ask if we needed anything or refill our drinks. When she did give us our check which we had to ask for, she said she would be right back, 10 minutes later she finally came back after my husband waved at her. Resturant was mildly busy but had plenty of waitresses.
Besides the service everything else was great.“

“Food is very good. Ask for Barry, when you dine in. He is an excellent server, with a wonderful “tableside manner” and a great sense of humor!!!“

“Amazing food and drinks! Great service especially from our server Frankie! Fabulous in every way“

“This is the best Italian sub ever! The bread was beautifully toasted and packed with flavor. The staff was very pleasant, and the space is cozy—with limited indoor seating, but that didn’t take away from the experience. I enjoyed sitting outside on a shaded bench, which added to the charm. I’ll definitely be back to try something new from their daily-changing menu!“

“This is our second visit. We tried different entres on the menu this visit. All have been excellent. There is nothing boring on the menu. Everything is full of tasty surprises. The mango in the salad to radishes with the roasted potatoes. A wonderful way to support students while they hone their skills in this setting. No wonder reservations are hard to come by.“

We tried the deviled eggs, scallops with basil icecream (oh my goodness this was tasty!!!), beats, burger, rainbow trout, salmon bites and the chocolate cake was heavenly!

“The BEST Oatmeal Cream Pie Cookie milkshake!!! Not on the menu! You have to ask for it....not available all the time.“

“My favorite steak house for over 40 years! The food is always really good, along with service.“

“Food was good tasted good but hot and sour soup had a good flavor but was very sparse on ingredients tofu was chopped in a fine dice and was little none in it also it only had about 8 piece of very small and I mean small cut up mushroom in it and last bit not least the egg steamer that I personal love about hot and sour soup was almost non-existent pepper steak was good but more onion few peppers and not a lot of steak but for 16 for the pepp. Stk and like 7 bucks for the H@S soup I expect it more flavor was good on both but I think what's happening here is what's happening a lot of places they either have to cut the amount of ingredients they put in or raise prices personally I would rather they hold on to the integrity of their dishes and simply raise the price I'd rather have to pay a little bit more and get something that is what I expect overall good restaurant nice people food was good just was surprised about as few ingredients that was in it considering the price I do recommend them if you're there go check them out form your own opinion“

“Great Food! Love the people! This is one of those places in small towns (this time my small town) that is a hidden treasure! it is cherished by everyone who lives here and is loved by passerbyers who need a place to stop for some really good food!“

“Great find! Outdoor accommodation for our dog. Friendly staff! Thanks Val! Delicious steak n cheese and hot chicken sandwich! Beer is cold and hit the spot from hours of hiking. We will be back with friends soon!“

Nadine provided great service and was very welcoming. We enjoyed her great conversation and attentiveness. She made our anniversary even more special. We will definitely be returning soon.“

“What a great place! We were passing through and decided to swing in here. The parking lot was packed when we arrived & for good reason. The people were friendly and the food was delicious. Uncle Dirty even made sure to point out our Penn State shirts and gifted us a bottle of barbecue sauce! Would highly recommend!“

“Long post ahead, warning! I walked in around 9 pm and the hostess didn't bat an eye at my dining alone, and didn't say anything about it, which I appreciate. I was seated right away with no problems and immediately got a chance to look over the menu. I will admit, it took a little bit longer than expected for my waiter to come over, but as a lone diner I sort of expected that. I looked like I was waiting for someone, I'm sure. The look and feel of the place was very upscale, but they didn't have any problems with me walking in wearing a nerdy t-shirt. I was seated in this cute little booth for 2 with curtains on the side so, if I wanted a more private dinner, I could have it. It was a cute touch! The restaurant also offered patio dining and since it's by the creek, that would have been a downright charming experience were it not the usual Maryland summer. Despite having a bar, the restaurant was respectably quiet and low-key, making it an easy dining experience. I wasn't in the mood for something wild, and this place really hit the nail on the head. My first waiter Kevin, however, was the picture of polite helpfulness. He answered all of my questions, made some wonderful suggestions, and was incredibly pleasant to talk to. I was delighted to find out that this place takes part in DC restaurant week, so I was able to take part in that promotion. Under a suggestion from Kevin, I ordered a glass of their moscato (I wanted something light and sweet), and the wine was so good I brought home a whole bottle. Not really on them, but it does reflect their excellent selection. Dinner itself was delicious. The red pepper soup was refreshing and flavorful, without being too filling. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and was flavored in the perfect way to make the actual flavor of the meat shine. The potatoes were both light and fluffy, but also had the little chunks of potato that I prefer in my mashed. The best part was desert. About halfway through my appetizer, Kevin introduced my other waiter, Maddy, who took over after he went home. She was as much of a delight as he was, and made possibly the best recommendation of the night. Desert was this blackberry tart that I did not have room for but could not put down. Gooey and crumbly all at once, with a warm center that was almost caramel-y even though it was fruit based. Topped with a light cream to balance it all out, it was absolutely delicious. I will be thinking of that tart all day tomorrow. The prices on the menu were a little high, but I wouldn't go so far to say they were unreasonable. If I had wanted a cheaper option, I could have gone to any chain restaurant ever. In the grand scheme of downtown Frederick, with it's many small businesses and one of a kind dining experiences, I think this was reasonable. For reference, a lot of meals were between $20 and $30, but a good steak is almost always $30+. Despite the price, I had an exceptional dining experience, and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for upscale dining, without the upscale requirements.“

“We have gone a few times and always the food was amazing. My son always ask to go here. We went yesterday and the food was amazing as always except for one of the desserts that was very watery. The only thing we didn’t like was the service this time. The lady seems upset and didn’t seem to want to serve us. I even asked for which pie flavor was the best and her response was I don’t eat pie. Very sad this happened because its an amazing place. They just loss a customer.“

“We've had dinner at the Smokehouse Restaurant several times for our anniversary over the years. The service has always been top notch and the food absolutely fabulous.“

“Outstanding food. Excellent service. Reasonable prices. Best crab cakes in Frederick. If you haven't been, you are missing out.“

“Drunken Mushroom Toast app, absolutely fantastic. Steak with caramelized onions and blue cheese wasn't bad, but the steak was oddly bland and packed any kind of sear. Service was very good the night went, but it never got too busy for dinner on a Friday night. I really liked the literal cellar walls that were very rustic“

“As four guests visiting for the first time, we all thought the food was great. Service was slow to order a beer and desert was almost cancelled because of time and the glazing did not arrive with one of the deserts and getting a side cup never arrived. The waitress was new and very helpful and will get better with experience. The only disappointment was their Military Discount? They only allow 10% for "active" Military making one feel that veterans just don't qualify? And the 10% you receive is only on the members main meal. So for a $60.61 meal the discount was $1.49? I give the discount I receive back to the wait staff and left a $15.00 tip.“

“The food is great and so is the service. It has a very friendly and inviting atmosphere. You have to try the Cole Slaw. It is really very good and they make it there. I highly recommend it. Plenty to choose from with good prices and some of the best service you will find anywhere, hands down! Your nuts if you don't try it out!“

“My husband and I eat here every Tuesday after getting groceries. The people are friendly and the food is awesome.Highly recommend.“

“Place to go after you eat at Avery’s. Great DJ and dancing.“

“Nothing pretentious about this place and the food is outstanding. We've had several dishes and all were excellent. There is also entertainment in checking out all of the flight memorabilia surrounding each room. You might even be able to check out the landings and takeoffs from your table. Well worth the trip.“

“Always have to stop in for a chicken gyro when I'm in town! The best tzatziki ever!!! Great family run business!“

“Did an online pickup order on Valentine's Day. Process went smoothly. The order was ready when promised even on a very busy day for them. Gentleman who brought my order out to my car was very polite and friendly. The food was great, hot, well prepared, and a perfect Vday dinner for me and the wifey.“

“Love the food!“

“Great crowd, drinks, and food!“

“My husband & I had lunch here today. He had cream of crab & said it was delicious . I had the sub club , best club sandwich ever. Meat was fresh & bread was warm. No more expensive than any where else.“

“Great place to go in downtown Frederick. The atmosphere was great. No wait to be seated. Our server Brandi’s was fantastic and very attentive. Her recommendations for our food and beverages were perfect. Loved the crab dip. I highly recommend this place.“

“The sushi and tempura here was excellent. I definitely will be a regular at this restaurant.“

“I love this place! Highly recommended.“

“A private club, you can visit 3 times before you must become a member. Literally the most affordable place I have ever been. Went with a friend, expected the tab to be well over 100 dollars. It was 31... they have pool tables and they play sports on the TV.“

“Magoos Tavern is the GOAT.“

“I visited this Waffle House online, and though I didn't get the human, in person, experience at this one.

I am sure, as all Waffle Houses that I've been to, the service is excellent, and the food can't be beat.

If you're skeptical of reviews, of online experiences only, then I suggest that you stop in this one, and try it for yourself.

I dare anyone to prove me wrong. I would also appreciate and back feed.“

“was the night cook. great food, hot, flavor is good. keep up work Amon“

“My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary and our service was EXCELLENT! Alisha (I believe that was her name) was sooooo wonderful to us! My boyfriend was having the AYCE pancakes and she kept brining more for him and at no point in time was she annoyed at us. She was so down to earth and friendly with us! We ended up using a coupon but we tipped on the original price. She was so worth it!“

“Great food, fast. Clean bathroom“

“My boss took me here for lunch was my first time and let me tell you the food was out of this world. The service was excellent. Great place will be back again!!!!“

“Crab cakes are huge and taste so good. Friendly staff and very family friendly. Will definitely be back.“

“Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere. Doug runs a top notch establishment, and Rene is a super bartender.“

“This is a cozy, funky cafe with delicious food options for vegans and omnivores (perfect for my family, since I am a vegan and some of my family members prefer to eat at restaurants with meat options). I ordered the black bean wrap with a side salad (which was vegan without modifications). It was a colorful and creative combination of flavors and textures! It's refreshing to have a bean-based vegan option as opposed to tofu or meat alternatives. The waiter was also friendly and accommodating. After I complimented the artwork, he wrote down the names of the artists so I could check them out.

I highly recommend checking out Cafe Nola!“
