Cunninghams Restaraunt and Catering Reviews

The food and staff are always amazing. They're attentive and kind. I personally love their crab cakes, steak, and the ice cream. We go here for almost every special occasion!

Great food. Great service. Indoor valet parking. No stairs. Noisy! Will ask to be seated in their back room next time.

Great service, lovely atmosphere, and delicious food. Free parking in the garage under the building.

Such a trendy lil spot. I love love love the decor. It s romantic rustic and chic. The happy hour menu is decent. Staff are pleasant. Food is delish!!! I didn t take a pic of the pizza but it was good and thin just how I like it.

Good food. Nice breakfast sandwiches and lunch options. Hip place to get coffee or a bite to eat. On the pricier side, but for most stuff it's worth the money. The sitting is somewhat limited and parking is very hard to find. There's a small parking lot across the street that fills up very fast. More often than not it's full and there's no street parking on that street.

Reasons I'm not giving it 4 stars is because the parking and my experience with the dessert. I recently bought 7 macarons for about $10 from Cunningham's. I was really dissapointed with them. I tried one of each flavor and most of their insides were hard and crunchy. The outside shells were flaky and hollow. This means that most likely the macarons were stale. That, or they were poorly made. Either way, if a store can't ensure their macarons are fresh and well made, they shouldn't be selling them. It means that the staff is not rotating/throwing after over a week and/or they don't sell them fast enough. Very dissapointed with the quality, especially for that price. Most of the food is good, but skip the macarons.

This restaurant was a beautiful and delicious experience.
The atmosphere was gorgeous. The dining room has big windows with a lovely veiw.
There was live music.
And yes. It's expensive. But everything is farm to table. Delicious organic meats. The desserts we're fantastic.
Our waiter was so kind. We met the executive chef while we were walking in and he was so so kind. Especially to my kids

FYI there is no children's menu. Though they were very accommodating and kind.

This was an experience and it was great.

Cunningham's always serves good food and has a great atmosphere. We have been here for dinner and special events and it is definitely 5 stars.

Chi Tea is simply Amazing together with a grilled cheese sandwich.

Great food, coffee, and atmosphere. It can get crowded at times, but it's worth it.

Best crab cakes I've had in a long time. They even made salmon in a way that I like, and I hate salmon. Elegant atmosphere, wonderful staff, and delicious drink selection.

Great atmosphere. Great food. Great service. If you go there ask for one of Brianna's tables.

First time visit and it was wonderful. Had a great waitress, Jacqueline, who was spot on. Food was fantastic. It's pretty much valet parking which is not great, but it was fast and the attendant was very nice.

Very tasty menu. Fun layout. Good cocktails and outdoor lounge area.

Nice open seating right in the heart of Towson. Easy Parking. Coming back.

I ve never actually eaten here, just walked in, but it seemed really crowded, very nice atmosphere and the food looked delicious... so I m giving it 5 stars just because I d honestly never heard of this place and it looks great...

Very strong experience here. Nice, menu, excellent execution. Service very good. I wish I lived closer.

Food was ok everything is la carta, which drives your bill thru the roof. Liked the location the and the ambience my only complaint is they have light colored chairs and they were filthy. For the prices you dont expect chairs to be dirty.

Delicious latte. I honestly think it was the best I've ever had.

I love this place. Emma is a wonderful and friendly barista. The food, coffee, and bread are really good and it's a great spot for a quick lunch or study sesh with a friend. Free parking is always a plus. (French onion soup and Truffle mac and cheese pictured)

Usually crowded in the morning, but good food and good service.

Great coffee, great food, great staff just a great place.

Service was outstanding, but we were the only ones in the restaurant for the first hour. Food was good, very pricey and portions are small compared to competing restaurants in the area. They did accommodate my son for his birthday and made steak tartare for an appetizer even though it's not on the menu anymore. Atmosphere was warm and cozy, just odd that you have to leave the restaurant to use the restroom. Free parking was nice too

Excellent food. If you can, get Kevin to wait on you. He is awesome!

Gorgeous surroundings and cuisine. Proxy but worth it.

They have tables outside, but need to keep more distance between the tables.

I had a great dining experience! The steak and the mashed potatoes were delicious. The service was second to none. Our server Ronnie made us feel right at home.

The food was ok. The one issue with the menu was that for omelets the do not give any ingredients to chose from, just omelets. The noise level was high for such a low ceiling place. The place was ok nothing I would go out of way for.

Great food, cozy atmosphere, free parking! Great place to study too!!

Food was ok. Not that great, not terrible. I expected more from the food given the price. However, the service was very good.

We dined on Easter for brunch and I hate to say it but I was extremely disappointed. I finally convinced my husband to agree to an Easter brunch and we invited extended family to join us. The $35 price tag for a lunchtime brunch was steep but we assured our party that Cunningham's has amazing food and it would be worth every penny. From the beginning I was a little bummed that we were sat in the back room at a WOBBLY folding table. The back room has ZERO ambiance compared to the main dining room. The wonky table and lackluster dining room were just bummers but not deal breakers. The service, however, did suffer and we felt disconnected and kind of forgotten. Our reservation was for 2:30 and the changeover from morning brunch to the dinner buffet was 4:00. It was obvious that the manager on duty was purposefully trying to run down the food at the buffet as trays were empty or very low. I asked for several items to be replenished, which they were, and the manager did tell me to let him know what else I needed. It made me feel like a big pain to keep asking for things to be brought out. The food should have been well stocked and fresh for the duration. The avocado salmon toast was plentiful on the tray but all completely brown. There was plenty of steamed shrimp, but it was not sitting on ice and was room temperature. I was also surprised that it was not deveined (something I only feel comfortable complaining about because of the price tag). The kid's food was a nice touch but was terrible as the fries and tenders had clearly be sitting for hours. In all, I thought the food was mediocre in quality and quantity of options for the price. The dessert options were lame - cookies, brownies, scones - nothing note-worthy in the least. The final straw was when I visited the ladies room and every stall (except one which was FILTHY and unusable) was out of toilet paper. This is EASTER brunch and you are charging for a top quality experience that I certainly did not have.

This was our second good experience at Cunningham's. All of the food was very good. I ordered the pork chop, my spouse ordered the tuna, and my sister ordered the beef tenderloin, and we all liked what we got. The waitress fumbled a little but was friendly and pleasant.

Went for my uncle's birthday party and it was nice. Food was pricey but for the location and atmosphere it was kinda worth it. I'd say give it a try if you are okay paying 18+ for a meal

Great atmosphere. Would be amazing in the summer
Great food and wine/beer selection.

Delicious and beutifully served food, great service, nice atmopshere.

Cunningham's has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants! There isn't a food or drink item that I've tried and haven't loved. The staff is so inviting and helpful!

One of my favorite places to eat. good location, clean, and fantastic customer service. A must try!

Delicious food and drinks. Fresh and well put together farm to table American.

Stellar service and comfortable dining.The food is excellent and the portions perfect. Great place for a date night.

The food is always amazing and the service is great, everyone is friendly and seem to always remember me (that's a great feeling). Lots of choices and one of the only places you can get an actual PB&J sandwich for a picky toddler foodie.

Good food as always. Service is good with nice variety of food and wine/ drinks.

Egg and cheese on croissant
Love all the baked goods
Sometimes the drip coffee is way too acidic, I choose Americano usually
Lovely staff
Nice restaurant
Calm relaxed atmosphere
Front door is very heavy
Highly recommended
Anecdote: one time they messed up my order, they gave me a gift card to make it right, awesome costumer service

Food was excellent. Service was a bit slow although server was nice. I think it may have been a kitchen issue.

We went to dinner there for our first year anniversary. The food was exceptional the service was wonderful. It was an incredible experience in a highly recommend it for anyone.

Food was excellent drinks dessert waiter was on point great experience. This place is one of the hottest spots in not only Towson but Baltimore. I will definitely go back.

Great atmosphere dont go to cafe for food wait for dinner upstairs

Friendly staff. You must try the pesto chicken sandwich and the muffins. Supper yummy. Hard to find a table

Casual spot for European style coffee, sandwiches, breads and pastries

Great spot for dinner. Good service. Steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. Sides (creamed spinach and potatoes) were bland, but had good consistencies and went well with the steak. My cocktails were artfully made, but quite dainty... I get that's a trend, but it still rubs me the wrong way. Overall an enjoyable evening.

To note: seems like there are some renovations happening around them, and their main entrance isn't very marked. Go into the main building entrance (at the top of the steps) and then immediately to the left. Had to wander a bit before I figured that one out (I'm dumb). Also you can go in through the garage (yay, valet!) via elevator and a few twists and turns.

Good meal - surprised that crab cake wasn't all jumbo lump meat - would not order crab cake

Great staff, delicious and varied food choices, great drinks, and a beautiful interior.

This review has been a long time coming. I eat lunch here several times a week and the food and staff are consistently great. Best lunch spot in Towson!

This place is awesome. Even on a busy Valentines night, valet was on point, the roses were delivered to our table and our server was very engaging asking why 3 roses. I replied one each for Love, Life, and Longevity. The menu was a bit limited with lovers day specials, but I found my steak perfectly cooked and juicy. Her fish, tender and moist. Shared desert couldn't have been better. A go to favorite for any reason.

Excellent food and coffee. A wee bit pricey. Salads and powerhouse sandwich are awesome!

Charming Coffee Spot!! This cozy cafe and lunch spot is tucked away right in the heart of Towson. Of course, the coffee is very good and the food is top notch thanks to the Chefs of the upscale Cunningham's restaurant upstairs. Beautiful artisan breads!

Great farm-to-table restaurant in Towson. Complimentary valet parking too.

First time I had rock fish. Excellent. Great establishment. Lots of windows which I love. Great food, wine. wonderful.

Good food nice bar. Small but good wine selection. All the food we tried was good. Prices are in line with restaurants of the same type. Recommend the sides

This restaurant is my preferable place. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to that place. Whenever I I need a delicious dinner, this restaurant comes right away to my head. extremely good and diverse food and a large list of dishes.helpful crew, and great ambience. Not less important, the cost is good. I recommend this restaurant with great pleasure.

The waiter barely said two words to us that didn't concern the menu. The Bolognese and seared tuna were under seasoned. I would have expected more considering the price tag.

At first we were excited to walk into a bright and airy space (our first time to Cunninghams). We ate at the bar. The bar tenders were pleasant and attentive...quite enjoyable.

I had 2 rail (happy hour) scotches, French Onion Soup and a Cheese Burger that was served with fries and a pickle.

My husband had 2 (happy hour beers) happy hour oysters and a Cheese Burger served with fries and a pickle.

My onion soup was good (because of the abundance of cheese, onions and bread, (but the broth was of a very odd and unusual sweet flavor.

Our burgers were good, but the bun was a joke. It was a flaky mess that did not hold the burger together.

AND...the finally... our bill was $83+ without the tip.

Way over priced. Bottom line... we will not be returning.

I got the meatball appetizer and pork belly dumplings. They were both pretty decent, but not sure I would order again. Service was friendly though.

I love the Cafe & Bakery, everything about it: good coffee, good food, good atmosphere, awesome happy hour.

Only one gripe- what is the deal with the awful wi-fi? I mean AWFUL. I would love to come here to get some work done during the day, but it's just not feasible.

Great atmosphere and the service is amazing as well. It is reasonably priced...the cocktails are stellar. I'd definitely recommend it

Decent coffee, and a pretty good food menu. A little hipster for my taste, but don't my opinion dissuade you. Server was friendly and staff was very helpful - that was a decent surprise. Would come back!

Nice atmosphere and good food. A but pricey though.

Service was fair. So called experienced sever 1st forgets the bread, the a long delay on wine. I must of heard," I'm sorry" 5 times on other items that she was late on or she forgot. That being said the porkchops were excellent! Nice, open, well lit dining area.

If you really want to experience 5 stars, then go here. A meal that managed to surprise me and well; worth it. In this open and warm atmosphere, the staff were pleasant and professional. To anyone seeking Towson's finest: find your way into Cunningham's.

My wife and I came here based on the great reviews.

Beautiful shop, excellent service for a bottle cap sized cafe but my food was lacking. I wanted a bit more from the wonderful ingredients and high expectations.

All of our food just needed a bit more seasoning. My wife loved her lemon bar.

May try again in incoming months.

The coffee and food are really delicious. This is definitely the most trendy coffee shop in the area, so it costs a little more, but they have wi-fi and places to sit (and charge your device). Be aware! Their espresso drinks are very caffeinated, so you get what you pay for, and might turn into a zombie.

The food has always been good but lately even when ordering ahead of time it takes forever

Great food and the service was wonderful as well. We loved the open air atmosphere and outdoor seating. They have their own parking garage making it real easy to get in and out of. Looking forward to another night out there soon.

Great food, challenging seating.

Love the food. Cute restaurant

Challenge - please remind customers not to take more seating than they need. Could only sit at uncomfortable bar seating due to other customers taking up a lot of space....
- guy at two tables meant for 4 with only a coffee on his laptop
- mother and child sitting with a single coffee and playing video games spread over two tables
- two people chatting with long finished coffee taking two tables meant for 4
- others who wanted meals had to wait

Great food and great service. Perfectly cooked bass!

Alright, I'm going to be "that guy" and give you the pros and cons. But first, our server was Matt C. Wonderful job Matt, you were an excellent server, and I hope to work with you in the future!

Okay, so here's the breakdown:
Pros:
Interesting Decor
Amazing server (ours was at least)
Attentive Manager (I liked your shirt/jacket)
Delicious appetizers (I would recommend the Tuna and Bruschetta)
I liked the silverware

Cons:
Bar food was mediocre (in my taste pallet, remember, this is my review and I am by no means a food critic)
Main entree's were okay, definitely not worth what I paid for them
Wine selection, meh. Very simple, but with the wine storage you had on display in the front, you should offer more by the glass. Not by the bottle.
Happy Hour Drink selection...OK.

So that's the "in a nutshell" of my review. You can stop here if you'd like. If not, continue reading, I'm just trying to tell you my experience. That's what social media is for, right?

Go in, and the hostesses were pretty...stiff upper-lippish to me. I understand you're in a newer establishment, and you've had RAVING reviews, but c'mon. Smile? Thanks :) We go to the bar to take advantage of the happy hour there. Mother got the pomegranate drink (really not good, and half a martini), while I got the dark horse thing (bottom of the menu). If you get that, please ask for On The Rocks. They crush the ice, so you really can't enjoy the drink. I'm a man, I don't want to get the last drops of my rum through a straw like a 10 year old boy. We got an appetizer too...small plate, however (sorry) I forgot the name. I just remember it being a red-meat dish. Chewy. Would I recommend it? Nah.

Dinner, again, Matt C. AWESOME JOB. Really knew his stuff and had quite the sense of humor. Really was on top of everything. Okay, moving on. Bread? A lemon-thyme bread baked in house. Pretty good, a little over-seasoned for my pallet, but this is my review, not yours. Wine selection, again, mediocre. Carrabba's Italian Grill shouldn't have a larger wine list menu than you.

I got grilled chicken, which necessarily wasn't "grilled" like I was thinking it would come out. Very moist and almost boiled-like texture.

Mother got a rockfish (forget the name). Actually, pretty good tasting! So (If I can remember the name) I would recommend that! But that's about it.

To wrap this up, would I recommend this place? Nah, not really, not with the food/prices offered. Would I eat here again? If I had to, but wouldn't say no :). I know I'm going to get yelled at, and maybe even contacted, but I just didn't really enjoy the food that I was enjoying. So maybe the restaurant just wasn't for me. If you go, I hope you enjoy the food! The bar and decor are really nice though!
