Best Casual Restaurants in Gaithersburg

The ambiance, menu choices and service were all perfect. I highly rate Clyde’s Lodge and will continue to go there regularly. If you have not been you should definitely try it out.

This restaurant is far above the average eatery, despite being part of a small nationwide chain. Every dish we have tried on several visits has been a delight, with excellent seasoning, attractive presentation, and quality ingredients. We drive all the way from NW DC to Rt 28 to meet friends there to eat. Much appreciated is the luncheon menu served from 11 am to 3 pm. It has the same selection as dinner basically, but with smaller (meaning less gigantic) portions and lower prices. As older diners, we find those servings all we can eat. The portions of appetizers are generous - the delicious brussels sprout appetizer is enough for 3-4 people. Also the wines (all Cooper's Hawk brand) are surprisingly good. Join their wine club and a good bottle of red wine is as little as $22.

It was a truly delightful dining experience—excellent, attentive service. Generous meals started with delicious bread and salad. All the pastas are very good. I especially liked their chicken and veal dishes. It was a celebratory or weekly experience. My only minor tiff: the tables are very close together and do not allow enough room for hurrying waiters/busboys.

Brought friends from out of town to catch up. I’ve been here a handful of times, always have a good experience and nice time. Friends were happy and full at the end of our meal. Our server was tentative enough we felt taken care of each time she touched the table.

Delicious lunch and great service. We sat at a booth in the bar area - a perfect location for lunch and catching up with friends. The chicken and avocado club was so good, the chicken pot pie a great choice on a cold rainy day and the wine was icing on the cake! Highly recommend!
