Leelynn's

The menu is limited and that's a good thing. They well known for many items. My order of crab cakes were so tasty. It was full of lump crab meat and minimal filling. My husband ate the ribs and he said that they were also delicious. The service was friendly and customers were treated as family. We ate outside with the warmth of September fall days. The ambiance was also warm, floral, and comfortable. Playing trivial pursuit was fun too, once we remembered the rules.

Leelynn's is the place when in Ellicott City. Their burgers are only second to their service. Waverly, our server, was fantastic. He paid enough attention but not to much. Very kind and attentive to every need. Absolutely a neighborhood place.

My first time at Leelynn's Dining Room and Lounge. We didn't have reservations but were seated right away. They have an outdoor dining area and indoor too with a bar area. Our server was Stacey and she was very friendly and helped me with my wine selection. I ordered a shrimp platter, my significant other ordered the burger and our fiend ordered the shrimp salad on a wrap. I didn't get a picture of my shrimp salad but it was beautifully plated and the shrimp salad was a generous portion. It was really good and I enjoyed each bite. I had some of my significant other's homemade potato chips and they were delicious as well. I will definitely go back and try some of the other entrees.

Came here on a Fri.Evening.I came once and sat at the bar. This time I got the dining experience. Its was almost a full house, we were seated quickly. The server was very nice and friendly and hooked us up with a better table than what the host placed us at. I feel like the menu was limited like almost what you would find at other local similar restaurants. The presentation and food was overall good. I feel like the Crab dip only had real crab on top and fake crab meat was mixed underneath. I could be wrong. However it was still good. I had the Mudpie for dessert. It was so good forgot to take a photo.

FOOD:The fish tacos come with a jicama slaw and a chimichurri sauce. Thea tacos are filled with the perfect amount of fish. Those house chips are addicting! Light, crispy with herbs and parmishan that gives the right hint a saltiness. I love the happy hour specials which are available Monday through Friday. The calamari and potato crisps were cooked perfectly, and my group ate them before I could take a picture. *side note: the crab cakes here are famous, I saw one delivered to the table next to me and I'm ordering it next time. Although I loved my food my margarita was a little disappointing. Stick to the orange crush, it's made with fresh orange juice. Service:Overall, this is a popular community restaurant. I recommend this spot for family gatherings. The servers here are friendly and polite. It's my first time dinning here but I feel the same warmth I feel at home. Ambiance:The outdoor dinning areas are the place to be in 75 degree day. Even on hot days there is plenty of natural shade outside to keep dinners cool.

Best restaurant ever! Used to live in Maryland always went here. The crab dip is legendary!

Leelynn's was such a pretty venue with great food - perfect for family or friend gatherings. I was surprised that I hadn't tried it earlier, but it is a bit tucked away in Ellicott City. APPETIZERS: Chickpea tahini hummus (happy hour menu) was so delicious. Definitely recommend, great for sharing. Calamari was tasty as well. MAINS: Twin chicken breast was good, scallop and bacon flatbread was a little underwhelming. BBQ ribs dish was very big. I didn't find a ton of options I liked on the entree menu, but they have a ton of sandwich and salad options if you're into that. DESSERT: I saw good things about the house-made apple crisp on Yelp, and it didn't disappoint - it was the perfect blend of cool ice cream with warm, nutty crisp. The raspberry tiramisu/tres leches cake (special) was also yummy. A lot of their desserts looked good - I'll definitely be back to try more. AMBIANCE: The environment is super pretty - inside has a homey, comfy feel, and there's plenty of nice outdoor seating. Definitely a good place for celebrations/get-togethers.

I go to leelynnns all the time and it's always good. i love to sit outside the ambiance is lovely. service fast. food even better. have yet to try something i didn't like there.

1 and done! Crab dip burnt on the bottom cheddar cheese hardened on top . Burger came with tomato ends and never got the mayonnaise's I asked for . Charge 75 cents to add onions to a salad . Not worth the trip

You must go and enjoy food there! It was a bit difficult for finding the restaurant! We passed through and went back, then found it was behind a liquor store. The restaurant was divided into three or four sections. Two were indoor and two were outdoor. Very fun decorations on walls and backyard looked comfortable and nice.We had lunch and the crab meat (MP $35) was so awesome which my husband loved it. Mine was steak salad, I got many kinds of veggies in it and was tasty too. For coffee, I was a bit surprised that they Don't Do any FUNCY ones, only traditional American coffee but I had a decaf one. Maybe it is great to keep all things in a simple way. Our server was very nice! She is patient and cared about our food and drinks. We liked their uniforms by the way.It was such a hidden great place to go! In fact, so many people there during lunch time. Highly recommended!!
