Best Casual Restaurants in Monkton

Our 1st time at the Barrel House and it won`t be the last. Live music was brilliant with the Rob Fahey sound machine. Food was to live for and energetic wait staff made the whole experience memorable, well done

If you’re anywhere near Hunt Valley and don’t stop at Sammy’s, you’re seriously missing out. This gem of an Italian spot feels like stepping into your grandmother’s kitchen—if your grandmother was a culinary goddess with a killer drink menu. The food is authentic, comforting, and full of love—every bite reminds you of home-cooked Sunday dinners. Whether it’s the rich pastas, the perfectly seasoned sauces, or the melt-in-your-mouth meatballs, everything is made with care and tradition. The service is top notch, warm, attentive, and never rushed. And the drinks? Creative, strong, and beautifully made—whether you want a bold Negroni or a refreshing spritz, they deliver every time. Sammy’s isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience. It’s a must-visit, and honestly, once you go, you’ll be planning your next trip back before you leave the parking lot.
