14 Best American Restaurants in Oakland

“Pawn Run kept popping up on Facebook, the not salty podcast and even signs leaving my neighborhood. We usually go to Dutches, Honi and Firewater. We love those places on the lake. However, this past Saturday we decided to find out what all the fuss is about. Well, we are so glad we tried it! The drinks, food, atmosphere & staff were simply amazing. They had live music that wasn’t too overbearing and quick service all while providing phenomenal drinks and really great food! Try the Smokehouse Nachos and house Margaritas! The best is that it’s walkable back home! We can’t wait to go back!“

“We were on our way back home from a trip and I found Heidi's on Google. We stopped for breakfast and we were very pleased with our experience! The food was fresh and very delicious. The staff was friendly. The restaurant was clean and easy to find. If we lived closer, I would eat there regularly!“

“I have used Casselman bakery many times for different events. I usually just order cakes (delicious!) but today I used them to cater my event. They were fantastic! They really took the time to help me and the communication was great. The food was a hit and I got a lot of compliments. The staff has always been very kind!“

“The food here is AMAZING! The Nashville hot chicken sandwich is outstanding and the crab cheese fries were fantastic. The view from the tables out back looking over the lake are wonderful as well. If you are here visiting in town, you definitely need to check this place out!“

“Great service, the server made us feel like we were the only people in the place - he clearly enjoys what he does. The food and beer selection were awesome and it had a comfortable feel for being a smaller place. We'll definitely be back soon!“

“This place has great food and the bartender (Ashley) is awesome. Monday night wing night. The wings are by far the best wings around. Friday night steak special is incredible as well. Stop by and see Ashley for a adult beverage, you’ll thank me later!“

“Came here for breakfast at 10am on a Sunday and got a seat right away for my family of six. They have several tables open, but they quickly filled up. We tried the pancakes and french toast. Everyone loved the food and we will go back. Nothing special about the atmosphere, but exactly what you expect from a diner. Great food, good price, and fast service!“

“Englanders Restaurant is a down-home diner style restaurant in Oakland, Maryland. A good friend of many years and I travel many miles from different directions to meet there and visit and reminisce. The menu provides food that is well- prepared and delicious. Breakfasts, soups, and sandwiches are my immediate attractions. Englanders also offers a wide collection of sellers of vintage, unique, antique and interesting items for sale. I highly recommend Englanders Restaurant for an exceptional visit for good food and an opportunity to browse among the available wares.“

“1st time I stayed here. It couldn't have been nicer! Rooms were extremely clean and looked newly renovated. The owner (miss kitty) was so nice. Food at the saloon was very good and service was fantastic. Will definitely be returning in the future.“

“We had an amazing dinner celebrating a Birthday. The scallops were perfection, and the salmon dish out of this world. We will definitely return every time we are in Deep Creek. Awesome service and ambience.“

“Really neat little diner with amazing food. We stopped in for breakfast, had the chicken and waffles and sausage biscuits and gravy. It doesn't look like much from the outside, something you'd expect to see on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives but highly recommend you stop in you won't be disappointed.“

“We brought my Mom to Stonecroft to celebrate her birthday. In our party we had teens and a 5 year old. The menu had something for everyone in our group. The Brussels Sprouts were to die-for!! The clams and mussels in butter and wine sauce were fantastic and huge portions! We barely had room for our generous portioned dinner. Everything was very delicious and fresh! We love that the menu had different options than other restaurants in our area. I’m also thrilled that they have gluten-free buns. I was able to order the lobster roll bc of this. We will definitely be back!“

“We heard about this tavern/restaurant from friends and drove 45 minutes to get there. The food was great and the atmosphere was the perfect 'tavern' experience. It definitely earned the recommendations and met the time in travel expenditure with more returns planned for future.“

“This place is our favorite place in deep creek, the owner and her staff of wonderful ladies are the best! The food is delicious made from scratch, steaks are delicious and so are the soups. And the bar service is terrific, friendly and attentive. I just wish it were open more hours during the week.“
