The Food Market 10480 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia, MD 21044

"This is my favorite restaurant. I’ve been here a handful of times and every time I am blown away. The cocktails here are great; The beauregarde is my favorite, but if you are going around the holidays, the “‘‘tis the new year” is also great. As for the food, everything is great and there is truly something for everyone. I feel that it is often difficult to find places that everyone in my family enjoys, but The Food Market has never disappointed and has become our go-to spot for a lot of our celebrations. I’ve had a lot of the food here, especially the appetizers or the little/small plates. Some of the standouts are Beets by Chad (this is my favorite salad ever), the cauliflower (my mom loves this), and the bao buns. The french onion rings are also a family favorite. As for entrees, my favorite is the short rib. It is incredible and comes with steamed veggies which I love. For dessert, the cheesecake is pretty much perfect is every way. The dirt cup is also super nostalgic and fun. I feel that this restaurant is definitely worth the money. The atmosphere is also pretty casual and less expensive compared to a lot of restaurants with similar food offerings like steakhouses. I also want to mention that the staff is great. Everyone is so sweet and friendly and nice to chat with. Incredible restaurant."

"Celebrated my wife's birthday with the kids. My wife was satisfied with the choice and everyone enjoyed the food and their desserts. I had the bread pudding and everyone had the Blondie and ice cream. The bread pudding was really flavorful, but I think it was a little too sweet. The service was fantastic. I highly recommend this place!!"

"I had the BEST experience with the Hampden location. I was assisted by Dori in setting up a private event at the Chefs table. The entire set up was amazing. Food was amazing. Our server Joy was outstanding. This was a surprise event for not only my husband but our 7 guests. I had been stalking the restaurant since seeing them in a Netflix special. Even if I don’t do the chefs table again I will most definitely be going back. Didn’t get photos of everything because we ate it before we could get photos."

"Loved everything about this place. The food was on point We tried the Mozzarella sticks.. wonderful with the sauce For main courses, we had the ribs.. it was outstanding And the burger was amazing as well Finally, we had chicken with spicy beans. Delicious. Also, we loved the regular lemonade, which is a very authentic taste. The service was so good the lady was very helpful. There's parking available. Will definitely go back again. I guess it's better to have a reservation. They also had some desserts, but we had no more space to try any, but we will definitely do in our next visit."
