Best American Restaurants in Northwest Baltimore

I had a wonderful experience at The Barn and Lodge! The food, service and ambiance were outstanding!! We were there to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The only downside was that the fireplace made it too hot in the room. The manager did have the windows open, but it was very cold and windy outside. I and my guests had to navigate between being too hot and too cold. At one point, I had to put my coat around my shoulders and the men had to put their hats on. The manager did adjust the windows, but we never found a happy medium. The manager gave my husband a birthday card from the restaurant and corporate. That was a lovely gesture. I would definitely go back again!!

Went here for brunch and the menu looked amazing. But wait let’s start at the beginning. Valet available. You can pay for the service with a card. But bring cash for tips. When we went there was only one person and he worked very hard to ensure he provided the best service he could. Valet is a necessity for this restaurant because it is on a busy street and parking would be found be luck. Of course there may be a parking garage somewhere around there but I didn’t look. 👀 Anyway, restaurant has two stories and a rustic decor. Seated upstairs and immediately greeted by wait staff. Service was good. I appreciated his positive attitude and helpfulness. I also was grateful for his mindfulness for my grand baby by offering to take her order at the beginning. But had to continually ask for plates to be removed. I was being a snob the table was small and not meant to have extra plates. He also moved very rapidly where we couldn’t ask for more things at the same time. No fault of his - he appeared to be the only server on the floor. Another understaffing issue. I don’t know if management is trying to make more Money by having one person or no one wants to work there hmmmm Back to the menu - brunch menu - amazing choices. I had lox toast - sooo many onions. But once I removed the pile of onions and chopped them up to sprinkle across the toast it was good. Also too many pickled onions on the steak tacos. These were put together with the steak and eggs separated with a gigantic pile of onions. Short rib eggs Benedict. Looked delicious. Was full before it arrived but looking forward to eating it. The roasted potatoes were delicious. My family enjoyed the drink menu. I had a drink that was alcohol free and it costs as much as the alcohol. But not to take away from the many yummy choices offered. Oh from my family - wings were great; the deviled eggs were tasty; coffee was superb. Overall I recommend Wicked Sisters - stop by.

Three friends treated a fourth friend for a special birthday lunch after spending a couple of hours viewing the Jerrell Gibbs Exhibit. We all thoroughly enjoy the meal! It's a beautiful setting, with attentive service, serving delicious food.

Beautiful restaurant, delish meal and attentive service! Two in our party had the rockfish and one had salmon- all were fantastic. Our server, Terrell, was friendly and attentive. We had a window table upstairs overlooking the water. Looking forward to the warmer weather to sit outside and hear music. Rye Street Tavern is one of our favorites!

Beautiful atmosphere and ambiance. Patty our waitress was fantastic. Friendly and attentive. We tried the crab cake to compare to two other places and it was up there with two other famous crab cakes. I had the sea bass prepared Asian style and it was delicious.
