“My first visit here and I was absolutely blown away by every aspect .... the service, attention and graciousness of the staff is well beyond 5 stars. Juanita recommended so many things to help make my experience so enjoyable. The food was outstanding! She recommended the buffet so that I could try several things I was interested in. Others on the staff showed me some presentations for the way some items are traditionally served. What a wonderful dining experience in Bel Air! Highly recommend this restaurant!”
“The soft crab sandwich was great and the local oysters are always perfect.”
“Alex is an outstanding Server and Waiter. He was welcoming, he understands the menus and has suggested interesting combinations to bring out different nuances of the menus selections.

“Amazing. the wait staff was very attentive and very friendly. kitchen staff was on point with everything we ordered. everything was perfectly cooked and tasted fantastic. The cocktails were great too. Can not recommend enough.”
“Great Sirloin and Shrimp special. Baked Sweet Potato and Broccoli done just right! Outback rocks!”
“Sol Oaxaca Cocina Moderna is truly a gem! The food, drinks, and atmosphere are all incredible. Their fresh guacamole is honestly the best — so flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and served with crispy, warm chips that make it impossible to stop eating. The birria tacos are absolutely to die for. The meat is tender, juicy, and packed with rich flavor, and the tortillas are perfectly crisped. Dipping them in the consommé makes every bite unforgettable. One of the best birria plates I’ve had anywhere! And the Blackberry Mojito? Beyond delicious — refreshing, fruity, and perfectly balanced. It pairs perfectly with the food and tastes as good as it looks. If you’re craving authentic, flavorful Mexican dishes with amazing drinks and great vibes, Sol Oaxaca Cocina Moderna is the spot. Always fresh, always delicious, and always worth coming back! 🌮🥑🍹”

“First time at Libs Bel Air! Went on themed Movie Brunch 7/14/24. Loved the classy way it looked. Food and service was good! A lady named Dani came over to check on us and was so welcoming she even looked like she was handling all that was going on an we were impressed. Will be back!”

“I went to this place after months of thinking about it. I ordered the detroit style pan pizza with pepperoni and extra cheese. And it was freakin delicious. Stays consistent a day later even after reheating. A little pricey though. If i could get a half of detroit pan pizza i would prefer that. Just in case i dont need to feed a whole family.”

“Broom’s Bloom Dairy is such a special place! It’s a family-run gem that offers some of the best homemade ice cream around, along with light café fare that’s always fresh and delicious. They also sell local beef, pork, lamb, chicken, cheese, and milk—perfect for supporting local farms and bringing home quality products. One of my favorite parts is the beautiful sunflower field in the summer—it’s the perfect spot to take photos and just enjoy the scenery. Highly recommend stopping by for a treat and some fresh air!”
“Kristin was an amazing waitress and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience.”
“1st time ordering from Richard's and the steamed crabs were awesome”
“Stopped in for lunch, have always been curious about this place. The Parkville one is closer to me, the charm of this location is nice.
Two decent sized bar rails, looked to be an indoor eating area as well. Decent sized parking lot but Im sure that fills up fast.
Friendly staff, decent menu, large variety of beer. Food was good, thought the onions were cut odd for a sandwhich, they were chunks not thin rings. Loved the creamy horseradish.
Will be checking out the Parkville location soon!”

“After living in the area for 5 years we finally visited Pairings Bistro tonight.
We were celebrating our 20th anniversary and I’m so glad we chose Pairings to do so. The restaurant is quite beautiful , the staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the food was amazing. Loved being able to chose between pre fixe 3 or 4 course meals and à la carte for dinner and of course the wine pairing option. With the many choices for lunch or dinner and seasonal menu this is sure to become one of our new go to restaurants. We could go numerous times a month and have something new and exciting each time. Thanks for the wonderful service and delicious food and wines.”
“Needless to say the place is amazing! I loved the interior look of the establishment. It really resembles a lodge, even has ski seat that swing (a little LOL). My kid truly enjoyed the seats. The Orange Crush was really good and the crab dip was awesome! The wait staff was warm and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back. A friend made the recommendation and I called them to thank them because it was amazing food!”
“Good service and great food and drinks the food came out in a reasonable time and the waitress was knowledgeable about almost everything on the menu she gave suggestions and when we got our food it was great everything was fresh clean on point I definitely recommend getting the crab dip also.”
“Had the most wonderful dining experience at India Garden last night! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and an inviting atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish carried authentic flavors and was beautifully presented. We especially loved the [favorite dish], which was cooked to perfection. The service was outstanding; the staff was attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, making it a great spot whether you’re dining with family, friends, or celebrating something special. Truly a gem in the city—highly recommend India Garden if you want the real taste of India!”
“We had dinner reservations at another local restaurant, and when we showed up, they booked it for the wrong night and could not accommodate us. I called Libatore’s and they were able to seat our large party within 20 minutes. They were super helpful and super accommodating and our server. Emma was absolutely amazing. Everyone loved their meals and their drinks…such a great place..”
“Food has always been delicious. Our server Tiffany was wonderful. The grilled chicken with cheese LT and fries was very reasonable and tasty at $15. Unfortunately our app of Mozzarella Kabobs was quite small. Two skewers with 8 quarter size pieces for $12 was very over priced. Suggestion either increase the quantity of the app or please lower the price. Definitely will not order that again.”
“Tried for the first time tonight. We really enjoyed the hotpot! Came with a 10, 5, and 3 year old. Kids really enjoyed it and the staff were so good with them. Even left with balloon swords.”
“Food is always good— I love the lunch special. Today I branched out and got some shrimp nigiri and I was just so disappointed with the size. Not even the size of the shrimp but how little rice they used it’s like they were rationing. I weighed it on my food scale out of curiosity and it was 0.4oz. Not even a half oz of rice…. Like the size of my wife’s thumb and she is small.”

“Came in tried using the app to dine in, but it wasn’t working so tried using the kiosk and couldn’t customize. Without saying anything Gerardo noticed and approached us took our order at the counter discounted our meal offering to customize our order in the kitchen and before i was even settled in to my seat he was bringing our order out . When we opened the wrapper the sandwiches looked like an advertisement and was hot and delicious. Incredible service!!”

“Best Greek food in Harford County! Started with the Avgolemono lemon-egg drop soup. Tangy with lots of lemon. Uses a chicken broth base. The simple feta plate was extensive with plump capers, lots of heavily marinated kalamata olives& chunks of fresh ripe tomato. Don't miss the entree: spinach+feta chicken. Large chicken breasts top & bottom sandwich a heavy layer of spinach & feta on a bed of orzo rice. Beautiful & a wonderful flavor. Included a varied & fresh Greek salad with superb Greek salad dressing. Finally, 2 deserts were split onto 2 plates for us: the heavy-syrup-filled Greek baklava, & a special lemon filo pastry of the day--very lemony. An excellent meal whether you're there for lunch or dinner. Wonderful service & a warm Greek welcome!”
“Poke Bowl never disappoints! They have the best crab rangoons I’ve ever tasted — crispy, flavorful, and packed with the perfect amount of creamy crab filling. Absolutely addictive!
My go-to bowl is the one with crab, rice, tempura chicken, and cream cheese, and it is amazing. Everything tastes so fresh, the textures are perfect together, and the flavors are just on another level. Every bite is delicious!
If you want fresh, flavorful food that hits every single time, Poke Bowl is the place to go. Always consistent, always tasty, and always worth the hype! 🍚🦀🍗💛”
“Plaza Mexico never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. My absolute favorite is the quesadilla with beans and rice — it’s so delicious every single time. The quesadilla is perfectly cheesy and cooked just right, and the beans and rice pair with it perfectly. Whether you’re craving something comforting, authentic, or just seriously good, Plaza Mexico is always the move. Great service, great flavors, and always hits the spot! 🌮🤍”
“A range including sushi, hibachi, & Chinese. It's all good, but the sushi is our favorite. This may be the best, freshest & well-prepared sushi restaurant in the county. Very informal comfortable & dark atmosphere. If you love sushi or sashimi you'll be delighted with the results from Steven, the NYC-trained sushi chef & owner. This is a fine example of the Japanese tradition of preparation & presentation.”
“Though the staff was a bit slow, that criticism is totally knocked away by how good the food was. It was the best Thai food I've had in Maryland.”
“Recently my friend and I had an excellent experience at Looney's. We ordered a cheesesteak sandwich and had some beer at the bar. The sandwich was delicious and piled high. Of course, other places have great food but it is the service and bartender that makes the difference. Although not our bartender, Emma made our experience exceptional by being genuine, friendly, and positive. Her service would be the reason we return. We also made a request to get a different baseball game turned. The person behind the bar made it happen without a fuss or an excuse (unlike other places).”

“Flavor has been one of our favorites bakeries and we were thrilled to have them make our wedding cake! We had red velvet, cookie dough, vanilla raspberry and wedding cake, of course. They did not disappoint on flavor, delivery, and set up. Thank you Flavor for serving our wedding!”

“the food is very good everytime, by far the best fast food chain. unlike everyone else the food quality and employees dont suffer due to inflation. im a firm believer in you get what you pay for and yes it might be $100 for dinner but it will fantastic every time!”
“Large servings, customizable, lots of options, all fresh, $5 fridays, and more. Always been picky, but out of the dozen different smoothies I've tried, only one I didn't particularly care for.”
“Disappointed for the removal of the steak fajitas from the menu. They were the best. Still a great lunch and service.”

“The Boba at Chatime, Bel Air is always delicious! When me and my family go, we always end up getting two drinks per person. They have the best drinks here for any occasion! Would highly recommend for everybody! For starters, the food. Aside from Boba Tea, they have lot’s of food! Ranging from a variety of options. Their food is delicious, and you can tell they take their time making it. I love Chatime’s Boba Tea, and variety of food options on their menu! Secondly, the service. They always have a smile on their face and are willing to help you! They will wait as long as it takes you to decide your order, and get it ready within less than three minutes! Third, the atmosphere. Many people come here to get boba throughout the day. They are always so kind! I have gotten the door held open for me, and a compliment on my outfit!”
“It’s been over 30 years since I moved to FL. I was so disappointed that
Friendly’s closed a lot of there locations. Thank God we found the one in the Harford Mall still open. My son absolutely loves ice cream. Thank you Friendly’s for staying in business and the great friendly service.”
“We are trying to buy local. I came in to see what local roasts they had. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable! They also carry other local businesses' wares. Someone there knows how to bake gluten-free! The quiche was out of this world! Can't recommend highly enough!!”
“Great Service! I believe his name was Tyler who served us. My apologizes if my memory is incorrect. My sister’s boyfriend was extremely indecisive since it was his first time there. He was not understanding of certain flavors or sizes. Tyler was extremely patient with him and explained everything. We are so grateful he kept his cool and gave awesome service!! I got a blendini and as always, it was Blend-Tastic ??
Vegetarian options: Everything is Vegetarian. If you are Vegan, I would recommend not getting anything with the custard. If I remember correctly they have a dairy free option. But I would ask more about that.
Dietary restrictions: They have sugar free options which is a plus!”
“Five-Star Freshness!
Just visited Saladworks in Bel Air and I’m impressed! Starting with a crisp salad base, I built my own with over 60 topping options and chose a flavorful lemon tahini dressing. Their commitment to fresh ingredients and customization made lunch feel both healthy and satisfying. The staff were friendly and the service quick — perfect for an on-the-go bite or a relaxed dine-in. If you’re in Bel Air and craving something fresh, this spot is a win.”
“Surprisingly nice Starbucks for being in a Target. I was in town and wanted to get some work done before an appointment and there were plenty of tables to set up my laptop on. The staff was also very friendly and considerate — I’d never had a barista ask me if my iced coffee was the right color — I really appreciated that kind gesture as sometimes my coffee is overcreamed which is unpleasant. This coffee was perfect!”
“Good service and great food and drinks the food came out in a reasonable time and the waitress was knowledgeable about almost everything on the menu she gave suggestions and when we got our food it was great everything was fresh clean on point I definitely recommend getting the crab dip also.”
“Definitely a locals kind of place, where everybody knows everybody but, they were welcoming to the new guy. Drinks were prompt, service was on point and the food good pub grub.”
“I came here with my daughter for a character event and they made her feel so special. The food was great and it’s family friendly. Love this place!”

“Have eaten here with family often over past 10 years. Great pizza and subs. The owner is frequently in the kitchen or taking/serving orders. Several of his employees have also been there for as long as we’ve been going. Is probably best to order in-person vice phone as place is often busy….which can result in misunderstandings or incorrect orders.”

“My wife and I came here on a Sunday evening for a quick dinner. The employees were very kind and attentive. Our waiter took both our appetizer and entrée orders at the same time, something we usually do to save time. The food arrived quickly and was hot when served.
I ordered the Volcano Ramen, Sexy Jalapeños, and Crystal Shrimp Dumplings. The dumplings were tasty, but the sauce that came with them really made the dish, a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The Sexy Jalapeños had good flavor, though the different textures and consistency could be a bit much after a few bites.
The MVP was, of course, the ramen. The broth was hot and flavorful, and the toppings complemented it perfectly, adding a comfortable level of spiciness.
The only downside was being seated by the door. If you’d like to avoid DoorDash drivers waiting nearby for pickup orders, I’d recommend asking for a table toward the back if available.”
“This place is amazing! Only draw back unless you get there at opening is always a wait! But definitely worth the wait. A breakfast-brunch place only open until 2pm. Clean ingredients not junk ingredients(natural-organic). Very friendly staff. Our second time going. Id say about $15-20 a person. Everything is homemade and huge menu. I absolutely love the turkey gravy& biscuits. Definitely a must go to eat destination!”
“This is a slam dunk and a hidden gem in Bel Air! Today we met David the owner and he's not only one of the nicest guys you will meet but has a helluva restaurant. I don't know who's cooking in that kitchen but I'd like to hug them. Kabob KORNER is a clean venue and I must note that all the food photos are exactly what our food looked like. Today we experienced Lentil soup. Delicious!!! I chose the saffron bowl and my wife had a two meat platter consisting of marinated chicken & beef. 10/10
As we were leaving I grabbed two bowls of Lentil to go and some pistachio letche' desert Mr. David recommended. KABOB KORNER IS A MUST STOP.”
“Omg. Stoped in Friday was waiting in the parking lot till 7. Had to be there right when they opened so I could be to work by 7:30 and she saw my lights about 10 of 7 and opened the door so I could come in. She was the sweetest lady. I got 2 of the cinnamon rolls. And they were the best I ever had. Definitely will be going back. Thank you so much. What a GREAT business lady. ❤️”
“Small ice cream shop adjacent to Vagabond, serving Broom’s Bloom ice cream and cookies. No seating and shop only fits about 4/5 customers before out the door.
Got an ice cream sandwich with Nutella drizzle and got diabetes immediately after. Ice cream and cookie were okay — a little above average. Wish the cookie stayed chewier without snapping/crumbling.”
