50 Best American Restaurants near Montgomery Village

“Love this place. It's the proverbial "hole in the wall" diner that you've never been too. The food is hearty at a normal price with good portions. The service is quick. There are no pretenses here. There's nothing fancy here. It's small, simple, and you may bump elbows during the busy times, but it's good stuff.“

“Located in the Crown development. Easy parking in the public parking lot. We always share the Hanger Steak with Cauliflour Mash. It’s perfectly tender and delicious every time. This time we ordered dessert, a flourless chocolate waffle with iced cream and whipped cream. It’s really decadent and delicious. Another excellent meal. Prices are reasonable and the servers are friendly and skilled. The room is very nice too.“

“I think this is the first time I ate at BergerFi. I had the fried chicken on a lettuce wrap. I was surprised at how delicious it was. I never had a lettuce wrap. The crunch was much better than a bun. I was also expecting a dried out piece of chicken with tons of sauce. It was quite the opposite. Juicy meat and light sauce. I'll be “

“Thank you Lior for making our dining experience fun and delicious! (The Three L's!). Our meals were so tasty. My husband got the scallops which he really liked and I opted for the tenderloin salad which was cooked to perfection. We love this place. The dish sizes are perfect and you really don't leave hungry. The small desserts are just the right amount to satisfy your sweet tooth! We will be back.“

“Very dark and mysterious inside. Almost brooding like.Eggs Benedicts for good and the fish selection that I have was excellent. Usual excellent cocktails.All in all I enjoyed it. It's definitely an old school old style restaurant so just keep that in mind.“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“I was there for a business luncheon with 3 other people. At first I was concerned with the construction out front and the out of town guests wouldn't be able to find the restaurant, but that was not an issue. Check-in for our reservation was smooth. We were seated and a waiter was prompt asking for drink orders and providing menus. We place our orders after the waiter provided some explanation on some of the menu. The food arrived in a reasonable time. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The atmosphere was good for a business meeting. We will back for future business meetings.“

“They have rebranded the restaurant as "Glenwood's". If you want to compare it to an existing chain, think Copper Canyon, as they are under the same corporate umbrella. This was my first visit here and I wasn't disappointed. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. The atmosphere is on the subdued side, even though most of the window views are of Wootton Parkway. The food was very good. The jumbo lump crab cakes were filling and meaty. I enjoyed their cocktails as well; just the right mixture. Highly recommended!“

“Came in after a visit at Go Ape nearby. Was famished after all the physical activity. Maya (sp?) our server was bright and friendly. My order was a bit wrong, but I was so hungry I didn't notice at first. The house salad apparently is pre made with the dressing already added? Could have been a quick cover-up (as I asked for blue cheese)and if she's that quick on her she's gonna go places, but it was great none the less. The steak wrap I had was a healthy portion and delicious.“

“Overall experience was great. I ordered a Java nation burger which had very good flavoring. You can tell the chef is experienced from the plating AND by seasoning the burger before hand and not just letting the aioli sauce be the seasoning. I also ordered a brownie with an Americano coffee with a shot of caramel which was delicious. Food was really great at this place. Service was also up to par. Our waiter was very nice and accommodating. The atmosphere was very relaxed & clean.“

“The papusas are excellent, and the service was very friendly. We just tried the cheese papusas but I can't wait to go back and try this steak and cheese I keep reading about!Edit: I came back to try the steak and cheese papusa, A++ will definitely be ordering it again!“

“The place is always full, the food is delicious, it's just that mine was very spicy, I couldn't finish it, the service is great, their desserts are xelis and the fruit beers are the most delicious I've tried, I will definitely return.“

“Our patient server Eddie got our order correctly without a problem even tho I changed my original order of crabcake quantity the first time . The peach for 2 ala mode is fresh and warm. So yummy! So happy they brought it back. The crab cakes are the best! Thank you Eddie for making our Friday night dinner for two extra special after a long busy week. The female manager is so helpful too. Silver Diner also has clean bathrooms all the time.“

“My first impression was with the young lady at the door. We had a brief conversation about the place before she seated me. My server Elle was just as impressive. The eggs Benedict and very creative hsshbrowns were fantastic. Can't wait to go back.“

“Excellent service. The whole crew was on-point like clockwork for a busy Saturday night. We adore Amy's energy! Seated for dinner, a selection of delicious hors d'oeuvres created a little party at our table. The entrées looked very good. Cheers to the chef and staff! The table wine was excellent and served European style (without needing to select origin or year). In a winery, this is a nice touch for dinner. The bar in the entry hall was full, possibly with a wine tasting event, and looked super fun!! Thank you very much for a fantastic evening. Cooper's Hawk is so easy to add to a stable of restaurants that it could become a lifestyle.“

“It was quite busy on a Sunday. The patio hadn't been opened up yet, but you could order to go and sit there. We arrived without a reservation and were told it would be a 20 minute wait, but didn't get seated for ~50 minutes. Our server seemed harried.The crab cake eggs benedict was the highlight for us. The English muffin is toasted thoroughly and didn't get soggy, the crab cake was crispy and seasoned well. The breakfast potatoes were also seasoned and flavorful - just wish they had been crispier. The huevos rancheros was fine. The Werewolf in London was a touch watered down even before the ice melted.“

“Food was very nutritious and delicious! Many food & drinks options, from healthy boosts to yummy cocktails. Nathalia our server was fast and attentive. Good brunch experience would definitely come again. I would recommend joining the waiting list on line or making reservations if possible because it does get busy.“

“This is probably one of the better places I've been at recently. Got a flight with the 60, 90, 120 min IPA. The 120 min was 17% alcohol and tasted like hard liquor more than beer and couldn't finish it. Of course, the rest of the flight was great.I got the Jambalaya and the cajun egg rolls. Everything was excellent and I would highly recommend them. The whole experience from start to finish was perfect, and our waitress was on point.“

“I've been hearing great things about Hornets Nest Grille for awhile now. Several of my coworkers live up near the Damascus area, and always rave about this place. So, today I decided to give them a try, and see for myself. I ordered the grilled chicken cobb salad for lunch. It was nicely put together including all my favorites (ie: blue cheese crumbles, hard-boiled eggs, nice thick slices of avocado). I definitely want to explore the other options on the menu & look forward to visiting again in the near future.“

“Another new local place. I've shopped at the Safeway four years now, even got carryout from Ledo's next door, but this was my first time trying Tom & Ray's. They had me at milkshakes... And all day breakfast sealed the deal. My wife had the French toast, I had a milkshake and corned beef hash with eggs, toast and potatoes. My sister had a milkyway coffee concoction and the two egg breakfast. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back.Parking: Strip mall. Two rows of spaces, in front of shops and opposite. Most traffic is carry out so spaces opposite are plentiful if you dine in.“

“This lovely and comfortable restaurant is very vegetarian/vegan restaurant but it does serve meat and fish so please don't be dissuaded by the labels. Large, airy restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. Went with friends - waiter was so friendly. In fact, all the staff were. Food was delicious. All healthy and freshly prepared. Highly recommend.“

“Last night my peer and I went out to hangout and I decided to try out Ted’s Montana Grill. Super great time! I obviously picked a super great spot. My greeter Oksana was wonderful and professional and my waitress Jan was devine, pleasant, attentive,and professional. The lemon drop martini that Shannon our bartender made was great. She has such an improvised mixologist mind when creating cocktails for her guest. The restaurant serves their guest with cucumbers(as an appetizer)that were sitting in brine. They are so good. I ordered the Bison Skinny Dip burger and it was great. From presentation right down to the taste. My taste buds we extremely satisfied. I’m on my way back this week. The atmosphere was so welcoming in every area of the restaurant. Outside seating has an enchanting and entrancing fire pit. Check out the beer and wine menu and visit this restaurant. You’ll be back. 5Feb.2023 I’m back. I had the Bison Nachos and a lemon drop Martini or Margarita w/sugar. All of it was delicious.“

“I love this place! They have really good food and every time I go there Anthony, Jesse and Zach give us great service. They are attentive and their energy is always on point! I recommend this place if you’re looking to have some good food, good drinks and good vibes!“

“A good place for Sunday brunch or an early dinner. The food is excellent. I often meet friends there. The menu has many gluten free offerings. The atmosphere is quiet and casual. The service is good.Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free options. High quality. Delicious food“

“I recently went to Scratch Kitchen & Bistro in Olney MD. I got some macaroons, a steak, egg, and cheese gluten-free sandwich, and some fresh squeezed orange juice. The sandwich was amazing, even when I brought it home over half an hour later. The steak was thin cut and extremely good, totally cooked right. The farm-fresh eggs were some of the best I've had (which is saying something), and the cheddar cheese was both creamy and hardy, an excellent balance for cheddar. The macaroons were so good and well balanced between sweetness and savory. They were also perfectly fluffed. Fresh squeezed and nothing added, the orange juice was a little pulpy but beyond amazing. It tasted better than blood orange juice I've made at home. definitely the best orange juice I've ever had. Seriously, this place was super epic, and the atmosphere was really nice too. It's a small, cozy little shop that's perfect for a Sunday brunch with grandma and the kids. If it weren't for the fact I lived so far away from it, I would eat there every week, probably more. Seriously, if you want delicious food, friendly staff, and a pleasant experience, go to Scratch Kitchen & Bistro.“

“The restaurant has very few vegetarian options. Vegetarian Sandwich is not worth the price and trip to the restaurant. Butternut squash pasta has no sauce and is pretty dry.Vegetarian options: Very limited vegetarian option. Restaurant need to add more creative vegetarian options.“

“I got the Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich + a side of fries. When I tell you that chicken sandwich blew my mind ? Their style of fries is not my fave, so I wouldn’t get those again. But the sandwich is amazing, so I think I found my go-to chicken sandwich spot. Definitely give them a try if you’re in Montgomery County!“

“This place is the OG! Been going for over 18 years. One of my favorite place to eat in Olney, as it’s close to home, food is great, and prices are reasonable. Wish they were open a little later on weekends. 10pm would be better. Only complaint: Get rid of the Hunt’s ketchup, and switch to Heinz.“

“I usually visit this lovely place with the same friend. This was our first visit since Covid and we look the wrong turning. But, it was comforting to finally get there and find the same welcoming atmosphere. A delicious Cubano sandwich with salad and a cup of coffee, was the reward. Another thing to like about this Bistro is there is something for everyone. Omnivores, vegetarians or vegans can find something delicious.Vegetarian options: Black bean burger, salads, veggie pizza, soup. There are Also fish dishes for vegetarians who eat fish.“

“I really enjoy eating at gentleman Jim’s. I ordered a steak, which was amazing. Our waitress or server was on top. The manager came by to check to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. I would definitely refer my friends.I had amazing dining experience. Thanks, gentlemen Jims.“

“Enjoyed a wonderful lunch with my mother, sister, daughter and baby nephew. The food was amazing, great portions, cold drinks and wonderful staff! Thank you for giving Kensington a well needed restaurant with a hometown feel! We will be back!“

“A Five Star bar all around!!! Decided to stop in and check out Jonathan’s and man was I blown away! I love the “local, no frills” feel of this bar! It’s a bare bones, just amazing place! The service here is phenomenal, the lady who bartends was born to do it! The drinks are generous and potent (you will get your money’s worth), the food was good, I had a bacon cheeseburger with fries and it was amazing (the fries were especially crispy and hot), plenty of tv’s to watch whatever sporting event is on, and just when you think you’ve seen everything, the place explodes and all the locals show up and the party gets started! Everyone was super friendly, and what started as me coming in just to grab a beer, ended up being one of the best times I’ve had at a bar ever!! I can’t wait to get back to Jonathan’s!!“

“Although this is a steakhouse, I ordered the salmon. EXCELLENT!!! Perfectly cooked, just the right amount of "crust" and served piping hot! Compliments to the chef!! As far as service, could not have been better if I was in a 5 star restaurant. Server was Sean, and he did a fantastic job!! He gave excellent service and yet it was like he wasn't there. Didn't have to ask for anything. He filled water glass when it was just below half. Great place!! Highly recommend!!“

“I tried the Corned Beef King's Pestraminator!! Ohhh my goodness!! It was absolutely delicious! And the latkes was just amazing. It was worth the drive from Laurel to Rockville. I can see that I'm gonna be making that trip again real soon! Nice job Jon!!“

“Dine in experience, I was with a group of people that are Austic, and they look forward to eating out. Was a little disappointed that you couldn't order the fried chicken platers and eat at the tables.You must order from the menu that doesn't offer the platers. This makes it difficult when your group can only voice a few options they like. This has detoured me from bringing them back. The food is really good.“

“Our visit to Top golf Germantown was awesome, the atmosphere and service were great .The staff offered to accommodate a bay from the regular layout to a Wheelchair accessible bay. That was about and beyond.Thanks was very much appreciated!Parking: There are charging stations available also.“

“I actually liked their hot chick'n sandwich. The combination of ingredients were pretty good; I'm already a fan of the impossible and beyond brand so that was a plus. The bar tender was very nice and I like their open bay area (indside/outside sitting area). My only complaints are that 1) the sandwich was very verybmessy. I couldn't eat it as is, I had to scoop off the topping 2) I'm not sure why they used four slider buns instead of one Hawaiian role 3) it wasn't spicy AT ALLVegetarian options: Options to include hot dog/brat, chick'n, and beyond burger“

“Came in with a group of around 45 coworkers and the bartenders were excellent. They were very accommodating to our large party even though it was unexpected. Ruben helped with our champagne toast while the other bartenders, William and Brendan, made all of the other drinks. Overall amazing experience, can't wait to come back!!“

“It's a restaurant with a hometown feel. Every portion is super large, and you can take it away if you can't finish it!! The owner and Chef "阿雄師" are super hospitable. The hidden Taiwanese menu changes all the time, so next time, you can ask the owner if she has any new dishes.“

“I was recommended this place by a long time local restauranteur. The owners of this truck are HIGHLY respected cooks in the county, especially the Olney area. I was a little surprised by the menu but ordered one item from each "side." I got the cubano sub which is more like a steak and cheese than a Cuban, and the carne asada platter. The food was truly outstanding and that cubano sub really blew me away. It's a delicious, unique take on the traditional Cuban sandwich. The carne asada was wonderful and the portion sizes were huge. Highly recommend coming here if you're in the area. You'll be full all day!“

“The Thanksgiving brunch buffet had a good variety of both breakfast and traditional TG food. My only complaint is that the uncovered food was cold, specifically the French toast. I think I was just was a little expensive for what they offered.“

“A fairly full place from the moment you arrive you must wait to be given a table, as there are many people the waiters take a while to serve I had to repeat twice for a glass of natural or hot water and when they bring the coffee they did not bring spoons so I have to wait a little the place is nice and the food is nice“

“I'm a trucker, so I get to eat at a lot of places in the country. Let me say this now added to my list of good food places. The Cafe is probably one of the cleanest places iv been to in a long time. And you can tell they take pride in this cuase the cook was always cleaning up after herself. The food was like mammas good and hot. They are vary friendly. And the pice was on piont. I highly recommend it.“

“I just had to write a review to thank our waitress, Jess, for the amazing service she provided to me and my group. We had a party of 15 for a coworkers birthday and she went above and beyond for us. She was kind, attentive, and went out of her way to make our experience perfect. Thank you so much Jess!“

“We go to Brews and Barrels regularly and love it! The food is excellent. They have the best ribs and tacos in Mont. County. And their staff has the best customer service I've seen anywhere. Companies should do case studies on Brews and Barrels on how to train staff!! Will, who is often our server is awesome!!!“

“I had the mozzarella and tomato panini, it was so good! The Cuban panini my sister got was also delicious. The smoothies and frap that my family and I got, we all loved them! Just the right amount of sweetness! I highly recommend this hidden gem.“

“The brand is good, but this location has the fewest selections. They do not offer dairy free pizza, but if we're ordering for delivery, we're required to order from this location, so I usually have to pick up from the Falls Rd. location.Dietary restrictions: The dairy free pizza is not available here.“

“Great breakfast location! I’m borderline addicted to their breakfast sandwiches! I get the bacon, egg, and cheese on white bread sandwich and it is super filling, always fresh/hot, and they don’t take long to make it! The service is fast and friendly. This is definitely a regular go to for breakfast!“
