The Peppermill is located on York Road about 2 miles up from the Towson circle. I wonder how this restaurant has been in business for all of these years. They do not have a website, they are never busy, and trust me the food is not that good.
I think what's keeping them afloat, if they are afloat, is obviously the location. They're right in the heart of Towson and it's pretty much the only semi-nice restaurant in which you don't have to go near the circle and find parking. It's also right across the street from the Ruck Funeral Home. And it you can tell that from the restaurant because it's always dead.
I had the Prime Rib and it came out cold ecause the waitor was horrible. It already had onions on it, hardly fried. The only delicious item I had was the Clams Casino, but how hard is that!?

Towson Town Center
I mentioned the expansion of the Center and restaurants in The Cheesecake Factory post. Here's WBAL's coverage...
The Oregon Grille
1201 Shawan Rd.
Hunt Valley, MD 21030
I have to blog about The Oregon Grille because I have heard from so many people that this is one of their favorite restaurants. I've driven by it a couple times on Shawan Road (going away from York Rd.), and noticed it doesn't look like a normal restaurant. It kind of looks like a house with a lot of windows, but a house where they have beautiful yard-work.
They have what's called their Blue-Stone patio for outside dining. The Grille also is known for their steaks and wine list!

Michael's Cafe
2119 York Rd
Timonium, MD 21093
(410) 252-2022
Michael's Cafe is know for their amazing crabcakes and customer service. The last time I was there on a horrible date, the food and waiter were the only things that kept me sane. Michael's has been family-owned fro over 24 years, which is a plus for a lot of people. Most of their menu is homade too, so you know you're getting those warm family recipes.
Not only is their food worth going, but it also sems like a nice place to hang out with seom friends (Happy Hour from 3-7 p.m. by the way) and take advantage of some dinner specials!

The Cheesecake Factory
Towson Town Center was hit with the unexpected when The Cheesecake Factory graced our presence in October of 2008. Does this mean Towson is just as sophisticated and popular as the Inner Harbor? I'd say probably not, but at least they're making the attempt.
Towson is the only place that seems to have an undying goal to fit as many stores and restaurants in the smallest amount of space ever (Towson Town Center Gets A Luxury Facelift). I wonder how the small, local restaurants feel about the colossal cheese chain stealing Towson natives. I wonder. But, does anyone care? Probably not. We all know convenience and popularity win over loyalty (just look at Netflix versus Blockbuster).
All of the "meet me at Friday's" turned into "Cheesecake at 5, right?" Although, I do not think TU sophomores will ever leave their second home at the Friday's bar. The Factory's prices and ability of their customer's to make you feel inadequate with one look at your Towson sweatpants keeps the students out, and the professionals in.
There was no wait on a Thursday at noon when I met my professional Aunt for lunch (no, I was not wearing Towson sweatpants). It was everything I expected: beautiful decor, great customer service, and delicious food.
The food portions were outrageously large. I saw my plate, and for the first time felt bad for the homeless guy that harasses me at the median on Dulaney Valley Road. I was so happy that I actually had more than one sliver of chicken stuffed in my quesadilla and on my salad. Delicious.
Appetizer:
Quesadilla's with Chicken
Lunch:
Barbeque Ranch Chicken Salad
Grilled Chicken Tostada Salad
Will I go back to The Factory? Of course, everything was on time, lovely waitress, great managers (who did make sure our experience was satisfactory on the way out), and delicious food. I wonder what Towson will squeze in next to top this. I suggest a Sonic to counteract the professionalism, how about you?
