1. The Main Cup

Reviewed By Don G - Middletown, Maryland
We come here every couple of months as this local and very convienent. The service is always good and the place has great atmosphere. We use to come to Mains I’ve cream as kids and love the nostalgia of the old building. The menu has a good variety, something for everyone. The food is good, but nothing has ever been great. The Buffalo Chicken dip is probably our favorite item.
2. More Ice Cream
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 23 reviews
More Ice Cream serves up delicious hand-dipped and soft serve in a small-town atmosphere. Hot dog platters and coffee round out the menu for those cooler days. Relax on our wrap-around porch or browse through the tribute to Middletown athletes in our indoor dining areas. We also have private rooms available for meetings or parties. Advanced registration required for private rooms.

We stopped here for dessert after dinner at the Main Cup, which is across the street. The old house is very well maintained, is decorated nicely, and is very clean. The walls are covered with photographs of local residents, mostly old high school photos of...MoreThank you for your review. We are always looking for input and striving to continually offer more variety at the best price possible. We're glad you enjoyed your trip and sincerely hope you'll stop by in the future!
3. Starbucks
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 3 reviews
Reviewed By ACRMom - Middletown, Maryland
This is my closest Starbucks and it is great most of the time. Only drawback is that it is staffed primarily by part-time 2nd jobbers or teenagers who may or may not be on their game on a given day. For the most part, they are friendly and efficient the majority of the time. FYI - This is a kiosk store in a Safeway, so in addition to not having cafe seating, they do not have a full complement of food or merchandise usually found in a Starbucks. In addition, you can not use SB rewards at this location. Earn them yes, redeem them no. Don't get me started on this!
4. JB Seafood
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 28 reviews
Reviewed By John H - Myersville, United States
JB Seafood recently moved locations to Main Street in Myersville. Since the new location opened, my family has been back three times and each time we've tried something new that we have really enjoyed.
The first visit we tried the Wow Wow Shrimp, Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich, and the seared scallops. The Wow Wow shrimp were delicious and a generous portion for the price. The Pulled Pork BBQ is one of my favorites and one I will be ordering again and again. The scallops were good, but by the time we brought them home a bit over cooked. Granted, scallops don't do "carry-out" very well because they continue to cook once served.
The second visit we had their "crab pizza" which was incredibly different and delicious.
The third visit we had their meat lovers pizza, and crab fries. A word of warning, the crab fries are HUGE!!!! You definitely get your moneys worth!!! The meat lovers pizza was very good as well.
We will be back again and again this year! JB's is a welcome addition to Main Street and one you should not pass up.

I've been to South Mountain Creamery multiple times and we love it! Ice cream is amazing. You can come bottle feed the calves at 4 everyday, watch them milk the cows, and play on the playground. SMC also sells dairy and meat products in their shop or you can get home delivery. Bringing back the milk man! Prices are affordable and worth the visit.
6. Aleko's Village Cafe
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 22 reviews
Reviewed By Bob G - Frederick, Maryland
Looking for some authentic and delicious Greek food? If you after carryout or willing to sit outside at a picnic table then Aleko's is the place for you. Don't be put off by the location where they are inside a service station. The owner's and staff are wonderful and the food is truly quite tasty and is prepared to your order. Our favorite is the chicken souvlaki where you can get it sub style (this is a large portion), American style on pita, or Greek style (w/fries) on pita. The domades make for a very nice appetizer. And lastly, their home made soups are really good! Recommend that you call ahead for carryout so they have it ready for you.

Met several friends for lunch today and enjoyed our food at this family run restaurant. Very nice wait staff and home style cooking. Shrimp salad was on the specials for today. So delicious. Large pieces of fresh steamed shrimp, Old Bay seasoning, celery, and mayo. We all had the shrimp salad. They also make their own pies for dessert. Will definately be returning soon for anther meal.
8. Schroyer's Tavern
Overall Ratings
4 based on 24 reviews
Reviewed By Errantflyer
Set in the clubhouse of a golf course, this restaurant puts out fair/good food despite poor servers and poor management of the food side of the business. Crab nachos were delivered with everything BUT crab (oops, I forgot...). Rockfish was good, muscles were sour and the smothered steak was OK. Glasses were refilled only when requested and the check was slow in coming and delivered to the Wrong Person despite explicit instructions. This could be a hit with adult supervision.
9. James Gang Pizzeria
Overall Ratings
4 based on 16 reviews
Reviewed By Fay F - Westminster, Maryland
When you go to James Gang, you are immediately impressed with the great number of selections in salads, pizzas, sandwiches and pasta dishes. Most pizzerias have all these things, too, but perhaps not in such great numbers. My husband and I both chose the Red Baked Ziti (they also have white which is good but a bit too much garlic and Italian herbs for me). The red version is loaded with ricotta, not a small amount most places put in (to save money. Their mozzarella top is thick and the sauce, homemade, is rich. This is served in a baking dish that holds enough for two people. It also comes with a big, round individual loaf of bread that is moist and soft inside but crusty, crunchy outside. Perfect! I know the pizza there is at least "town famous" too and I"ve had the cazone which is overloaded with everything, one price for it all and it is truly excellentl. James Gang Pizzeria is in a small strip mall in Middletown, but don't under estimate its food or service. Plenty of parking space, too.
10. Asian Cafe

Just north of the center of town on the corner of W Green Street.
Reviewed By 0101TravelBug0101 - Philadelphia
I'm also surprised to see such mediocre reviews of this great restaurant! Our family has eaten in twice at Asian Cafe. It's a clean, modern space, and the service is always quick and friendly. I've eaten a LOT of disappointing Chinese food (greasy, gristly meat, etc), and was pleasantly surprised by how well executed our dishes have always been - the meat is always tender and yummy, the sauces are flavorful, and the veggies are always perfectly cooked (as opposed to many Chinese restaurants that either cook the veggies to death or serve them practically raw). We've also gotten take-out several times and have never been disappointed.
