Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Pikesville

Walking into The Ruxton feels like stepping into a world of pure opulence. From the warm lighting to the tasteful décor, everything about the atmosphere left me in awe. I also appreciated the music selection, which was refreshingly diverse—and I loved the unexpected twist of hearing some Christian rap in the playlist. Our server, Jordyn, elevated the experience with excellent service and thoughtful recommendations. The Wagyu steak, paired with its rich sauce, was simply outstanding, and the Wagyu sliders did not disappoint either. One of the highlights was the salad, featuring bacon so flavorful it might be the best I’ve ever had. The lobster mac and cheese was solid—maybe not quite at the level of my grandmother’s Southern-style recipe, but still satisfying in its own right. Overall, everything—from the ambiance to the attentive service—made for a wonderful lunch date. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience with top-quality dishes and a welcoming vibe, The Ruxton should be at the top of your list.

I love this place, the food, the staff and the patrons. This place gets very busy especially during brunch so it's important to make a reservation but if you want to just stop by they do take walk ins and they are good to you know matter what. The food and drinks are exceptional and I will be back.

It was our first time and we will return. The hostess and servers were MUHTEŞEM!!! Red lentils soup, lamp chops NEFIS YEMEK!!! We enjoyed Valentine's Day with you. Smooches

I was surprised by the quality of the food. My blackened chicken with shrimp pasta was outstanding, by any restaurant’s standards. And, our server, Megan, was a pleasure.

I went on Valentine’s Day so that’s why I have it the ambience lower and the sound rating but I would 100% recommend this place to anyone I know and would easily go back myself the staff were very nice the decor was lovely and someone even with all the noise and fuss since they seemed to be quite overbooked for the holiday weren’t able to make it as though we were still kind of on your own you were able to feel like you could talk freely and you didn’t really hear the conversations of tables around and it was still somewhat intimate between you and your date or party. One of the best meals I have ever had since living in the Baltimore area that didn’t break the bank.
