We had a wonderful brunch at The Food Market. I had the Cream of Crab soup, and the BEC French Onion - what a wonderful combination of an everything bagel sandwich of egg/bacon/cheese with french onion soup. And my wife had the bowl with a biscuit instead of bread. Very good meal and great service. Our server Kevin was fabulous.

Dawn was a wonderful server as always. Burger was excellent. My husband is a vegetarian though, and he really wishes you would offer a veggie burger option.

I happen to be here celebrating my wedding anniversary and we had the pleasure of having Luke as our server. HE WAS FABULOUS!!! It didn't take him long to take our drink order and he was excellent with his suggestion from appetizer, entrée, and dessert. Luke was so friendly and bubbly.. Even though he was busy he didn't forget to check on us but at the same time he didn't overly check (if you understand what I mean). We come here frequently and even though we have been to both locations Gambrills is the favorite. THANKS LUKE!!!
