Applebee's

Reviewed By HalClarke

Ate here recently while traveling up US 301. Very friendly staff and excellent waitress. Tasty beef and black bean soup, good steak with nice baked potato and bacon green beans. Our nice waitress added onion strings to my steak as a favor to accommodate my taste. Companion's tomato bisque and shrimp tossed salad was enjoyed as well. In the MINOR oddities department, we were seated at a booth toward the back which had one curious drawback. Due to the layout of the restaurant, 3 or 4 of the back booths immediately abut the computer order entry and billing stations used by the staff. These jut out into the booth row such that they are immediately behind one of the seats. Throughout our meal, this resulted in a number of the staff standing immediately over my companion as they worked at the computer, within easy earshot of our conversation and elevated enough that they could look right down into the booth if they wished. Not that we had anything to hide, it was just a strange effect that I'd never experienced in a restaurant before. We were seated in that booth even though there were many empty booths throughout the place. Of course, we could have asked to move, but it truly wasn't that big a deal. Nevertheless, I think if I were running the place, I would fill these booths last after all others were occupied. It was just mildly creepy having someone standing right over us much of the time.Overall, for two tired and hungry travelers, this was a very tasty reasonably priced meal with a very friendly and helpful staff.

The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille

Iconic Maryland bar and restaurant serving famous crab dip, fresh & never frozen 100% beef burgers, fan-favorite wings, a $7.99 lunch menu, and a wide selection of local, craft, and specialty beers. Always a good game on TV, and every seat has a good view

Greeted at the door and seated quickly server took our drink orders while we decided on food. Came back no drinks and took our food order, drinks came out shortly after that, we ordered a bunch of appetizers,the rockfish bits were delicious, the crab dip and pretzels excellent, chicken quesadilla tasty the SOMD wings were no big deal, loaded tater tots were good, took awhile for our server to come back and check on our drinks I believe he was a little over his head and it wasn’t very busy. Over all a good time and good food.

Pancakes Plus

We were looking for a place to have brunch/breakfast on the day before Christmas. On location was closed and another was packed! Cindy's Pancakes Plus was there to serve us. Nothing fancy about this place with an exceptionally good breakfast. There is plenty of off-street parking. Cash only. ATM on the premises.

Outback Steakhouse

Reviewed By NTL2012

Visited for dinner. Wait staff noticed I wasn't satisfied with my steak selection. While I was completely content chalking this up as a bad menu choice, staff insisted they make it right. Tag team Karen and Michele, thanks for sharing your observations with management. Tony, can't thank you enough for insisting I try the ribeye seared versus wood fired. It make all the difference. You and Missy make a dynamic duo management team. Training staff to observe and report costumer satisfaction is ingenious and changed what would have been a mediocre rating to five stars!Looking forward to my next visit.

Texas RIBS & BBQ

Reviewed By 516adamt

This place used to be primarily known as Twin Kiss, and they still have ice cream, but they focus on food now. It's classic Southern cooking, and some classic Maryland as well. The prices are very cheap for the quality and quantity of food, and the personable service is excellent.I love the food I get there. Obviously, the BBQ and ribs are excellent. The catfish sandwich is excellent. And the ice cream is amazing too.Oh, and the homemade root beer is great.

The Charles

Reviewed By DR5115

Visited The Charles for Father’s Day brunch, arrived at 10:10 was seated right away. Took a little while for our sever to come out however he was really nice, took our orders, and got our appetizers and drinks out to us promptly. Our brunch meals arrived shortly after we finished our appetizer. We had the scones which were AMAZING and the complimentary bread (we didn’t have a selection like the other tables but hey it’s bread on the house). I ordered the platter which was really tasty, the bacon was thick cut which is always better than any other bacon known to man kind! My husband had the sausage and bacon omelet, he said he felt like there wasn’t any bacon but the omelet was good. All in all we will return soon!

Marie's Diner

Reviewed By lrcurtis

Be prepared to wait if you go on a weekend but it's worth the wait because you're supporting a local business and the service and food is good. Our waitress was grandma, that's how she introduced herself. She's worked there for 30 plus years which tells me something positive about ownership. I ordered the pancakes (2 stack). One pancake is almost the size of the plate so depending on how hungry you are, you could get away with ordering one. I also had two sausage patties. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and the price is reasonable for the portions. My friend had the crab omelet which comes with a biscuit and home potatoes. She said it had a generous portion of crab in the omelette and was very tasty. Our first time at Marie's Diner and I am looking forward to returning.
