We decided to try Crosby’s in Niles while we were in town from California visiting our son who had an internship at an aerospace company. This was an excellent choice as everything was fantastic. Pleasant and professional staff, excellent servers and great flavors in every dish. Kileen was our server and she excelled in every way. Great meal recommendations that tasted very good. We had the Maryland crab cakes, the sea bass (fish of the day) and the Cajun pasta with shrimp and andouille sausage. We also had the pan corn bread as an appetizer. Portions were substantial and pricing was reasonable. Looking forward to stopping in again next time we travel to Niles.
Me and my friends went to Crosby’s to try out a new restaurant, we were greeted by an amazing hostess who right away got us sat down, our waiter came in an instant to serve us with water and gave us the specials of the day. We ordered our food and it arrived in 10 minutes, the quickest I’ve ever got my food before. I had 1 bite of my steak frites and it tasted amazing, some of the best food I’ve ever had. My friends and I all ate our friends and the waitress recommended said the cookie skillet was a classic so we knew we had to try it. It was amazing, cookie was soft and warm, the ice cream gave it a nice cold creamy vanilla flavor. Over all the service 10/10 and the food was also a 10/10
If you haven’t made it to The Niles location yet, now’s the perfect time. I’m not exaggerating when I say we had one of the most tender, juicy, smoky filets we’ve ever tasted—cooked to absolute perfection. Whether you stop in for the sliders, filet, or the bang bang steak salad, you’re in for a treat. We ordered the mahi-mahi sandwich, steak filet, and the bang bang steak filet salad. For dessert: a rich, moist carrot cake and a zesty Key lime pie that hit just right. And the drinks? You must try the Veronica Green—not too sweet, just the right kick of spice, and seriously delicious. Service was top-notch—warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. The manager even came by to say hello. What really stood out? Despite the bustling crowd, he rolled up his sleeves and jumped in to help his team. Total class act. The ambiance is equally impressive. There’s a lovely outdoor patio, plenty of cozy indoor seating, and a stylish bar area perfect for unwinding during happy hour (Monday through Friday, 4–6 PM). The decor is adorable—elegant yet inviting, with that just-right balance of charm and comfort. We’ll absolutely be back on our next visit to Niles. Can’t recommend this place enough.
Another Amazing Visit to Crosby’s — and a New Favorite Discovery! I’ve written before about how much I love Crosby’s, but this visit definitely deserves a new review. This time, I tried the Crab Cake with coleslaw, and I can confidently say: it’s now my number one spot for Crab Cakes! If you’re a fan, you have to try it. It’s all crab meat — no fillers, no breadcrumbs — just large, delicious chunks, perfectly seasoned and super light. I wasn’t even that hungry and thought I’d take half home, but I ended up finishing the whole plate (as you can see in the photos)! Highly recommend. And as if that wasn’t enough, the dessert completely surprised me: the Carrot Cake. I’m usually not a fan of this kind of cake anywhere, but theirs is absolutely divine. Just the right amount of sweetness, with that light, creamy frosting on top — so smooth and delicious. The cake itself is moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. Even if you think you don’t like carrot cake, give this one a try — it’s amazing! Another lovely coincidence: I was once again served by Lourdes, who is always so kind, professional, and engaging. She takes the time to talk about the dishes, the flavors, and the quality — even the cookie! You can really feel the care and attention that goes into everything at Crosby’s. All in all, nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. I absolutely recommend it, even for trying dishes you might usually avoid. I did — and I ended up loving them!
My wife and I stopped here for brunch. It's a very nice establishment to dine at service & food were excellent! AAA+
REAL MARYLAND LUMP CRAB CAKES.. NO FILLER 👍👍👍 also had the cornbread filet sliders and a burger. All were fantastic. As someone noted it is cold in there, but I'll definitely be back.
Very welcoming, quick service, didn't feel rushed. We came in before noon. Our server Janae was great and efficient, our food took less than 12 minutes upon our order. We ordered the Traditional Breakfast and Smoked Salmon Toast. Tasted great, will be back.
Parking lot can be tricky to get into due to the location at the intersection but there are plenty of spaces to choose from. The interior has a variety of seating to support solo diners to big parties. Very clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful while being attentive. Prices are fair and the quality of the dishes are great, they all came out in a timely manner.
First time experience at this establishment. I didn't realize they participated in restaurant week. The place is massive and amazingly it was full and did not feel stuffy. The service is fantastic, with care and attention, that was very welcome. Portion size are generous. Key lime pie was great. The Berkshire pork main was very large. The salads are great, esp with cornbread croutons! The crab cake is really meaty, more than I've had elsewhere before. Waited 20 minutes without reservations. The u shaped bar is very large, perfectly fine to eat there for one or two, imo.
Crosby’s Kitchen delivers a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. The decor and atmosphere stand out right away, with a relaxed, Hamptons-like feel that is both stylish and inviting. It has an upscale vibe without feeling stuffy or intimidating, making it comfortable for any occasion. The food is fresh and flavorful, offering creative twists on classic American dishes. Everything we tried was delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and satisfying. The drinks were also well-made and complemented the meal perfectly. Service was another highlight. Our waiter was laid-back, helpful, and attentive without being overbearing, which made the experience feel easy and enjoyable. The staff overall are friendly and welcoming, adding to the warm atmosphere. Between the great food, inviting environment, and excellent service, this is a spot that truly stands out. Definitely a place worth returning to again.
