Top 10 American food in California, Maryland, United States

June 26, 2020 Jacquiline Delozier

Reviews on American food in California, Maryland, United States. California is a census-designated place and community in St. Mary's County, Maryland, United States. The population was 11,857 at the 2010 census, an increase of 27.4% from the 2000 census. California continues to grow with the spread of population out from the older adjacent community of Lexington Park and the growth in both technology-related and defense-related jobs at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station. There are department stores and numerous shopping centers situated along Maryland Highway 235 ("Three Notch Road"). Maryland Route 4 crosses Highway 235 in California, providing access to the wide Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge and the popular weekend resort town of Solomons, Maryland on the opposite side. Bridge-bound traffic is infamous for backing up during rush hour.

Had not so good experiences in the past. They seemed to depend on the waterfront location over the food or service. Was apprehensive about returning, but under new management, they've improved on all accounts. Creative menu options, well prepared. Small wine list but with good values. Note: $15 corkage option. Our server, Amanda, was outstanding. Professional, friendly, thoughtful, and engaging. She made us feel well cared for. Improvements to bar stools, lighting, outdoor tables, etc.

Outback Steakhouse

Reviewed By 323Julie

We were a part of 4, and ordered steak salad, steak medalions, chicken & shrimp pasta, grilled chicken, and crazy fries for an appetizer. We all enjoyed our meals. We had a very roomy circular booth, which was very comfortable. Wait staff (Liz) was exceptional, and really made the evening a lot of fun. We were all stuffed after dinner but did share a skillet cookie ..... yummy. I've eaten here many times, and will continue to return.

LongHorn Steakhouse

Reviewed By 323Julie

Met our son and his wife there for dinner. Two of us had steak, one had ribs, and one had chicken. Everyone liked their dinners. My son's mac n cheese looked incredible, so I had to "sneak" a bite. It was delicious. Bread is very good. Most of us had the steamed brocolli which was cooked perfectly. Salads were a decent size. The coffee was very strong...too strong for me. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. I will return again and would recommend.

Potbelly's Sandwich Works

Reviewed By britgal60

We ordered for a group lunch to be delivered between 11:45 and 12 noon. The order arrived a little earlier so that was perfect. I had ordered the Mediterranean sandwich which has hummus, artichoke hearts, peppers, and tomato. I substituted the artichoke for cucumber and added spinach as an extra. The hummus must have been put on and scraped back off as it was not at all noticeable, I had one sliver of cucumber, a few tomatoes and a few peppers. The roll was nice, but it really needed to have a proper proportionate filling. I asked co-workers and they said the same thing. The turkey was so thin it was almost untastable and even though the rolls were nice, that was all you could taste, the roll. There were no napkins supplied. Overall it was ok and delivery was perfect and the ability to customize the sandwich was nice, but I doubt we will bother again in the future

Lighthouse Restaurant and Dock Bar

Beautiful Waterfront Restaurant, with great Quality Food and Drinks!

Reviewed By TrishaMarie

Stopped in for lunch. I ordered a fried oyster basket and my boyfriend ordered the grouper fingers. Both platters were very good. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. We loved looking out at the water while we ate. My only criticism is I think their price for beer is on the high side. I think $6.50 for a glass of Blue Moon draft is overpriced. Would definitely have lunch here again but we'll pass on the beer.

Cracker Barrel

Reviewed By Karen M

I always look forward to eating at Cracker Barrel. My favorite is the spicy grilled catfish. The service has usually been pretty standard as well as the length of time to get our meals. But, we try to go during "off-peak" hours, knowing how crowded most Cracker Barrels are.

This must be the best restaurant in Southern Maryland. We stopped by for a late lunch and some drinks. The cocktails (a lavender gin and tonic and a painkiller) were excellent. The food was delicious, too. We had a chicken sandwich and a chicken on flatbread type dish (Give Peas a Chance).
