Where Can I Find The Best Comfort Food In Maryland? 

  • Brew Belly Kitchen and Sudhaus in the small town of Olney is both a charming comfort food restaurant and one of the best spots in all of Virginia for beer lovers. The food has an international comfort food vibe - you can start your meal with a German-style soft pretzel, dig into an all-American cheesesteak for your main course, and indulge in the French-Canadian treat of Poutine if you're in the mood for carbs. And the selection of beer, picked from a massive fridge of canned brews, is stunning.
  • Dakari Soul Food, located in the city of Edgewood, has been through a lot since we first reviewed it - with both its original locations closing before it reopened with a tiny name change in the same Edgewood location. It's easy to see why - the food can survive any challenges! This is traditional soul food with a twist. You'll find all the standards like barbecued spare ribs, smothered chicken, and fried chicken, but you'll also find specialties like barbecued salmon. It's a taste of the South without ever leaving Maryland.
  • Chick & Ruth's is an Annapolis institution, going strong for more than fifty years. Sometimes keeping it simple works best - this comfort food restaurant serves classic foods in gigantic portions, and the locals keep coming back. For breakfast, it's fresh donuts and over-the-top sandwiches. For lunch and dinner, the classic Maryland crab cakes take center stage. Make sure to save room for some of the massive milkshakes for dessert!
