On this nice Saturday, I decided to go to the mall for a couple of stores…read more It was a great day after being locked down with bouts of snow and ice. This mall is still viable and family friendly. Parking is hard for those needing disability parking as its not many spots close. I enjoyed the day eventhough the escalators in the mall seemed to be out of service moving folks to department stores to go up or down.

I find myself coming here because is conveniently located in Columbia Maryland. I usually visit…read moreMacy's, Nordstrom and JC Penny. I avoid coming on a Sunday afternoon because it's usually packed. The public areas of the mall are always clean including the mall restrooms. My only complaint is that parking can be challenging.

There is so much variety of foods it is amazing! The ambiance is BEST in spring, summer, and fall…read morethey sometimes open up the wall tp the outside. Then Saturdays there is also vendors in the morning. Beautiful. There is also a little library nearby!

This place is really cool with many food options. My tops was :…read more 1. Nomadic glizzy (really good hot dog, I recommend the Korean glizzy) 2. Nepalese momos (the chicken chily moms are really spicy but was very good next time will try the pan fried ones ) The restaurants are more on the pricier side in my opinion for fast food but I think the two places I mentioned are worth it. Will try others and update my reviews but do think some of the other places weren't worth the price point.

There are so many things I love about Savage Mill. It's cute and cozy, and the mill itself is also…read morevery cool and historic! I have to say, the local businesses here have really impressed me each time I come! I have tried Boyd Cru Wines (delicious!!), More Than Java Cafe (pls get the jerk chicken omelette!), and have peered through Cherie Bridal (looking for a dress soon!). Every experience I have had here has been warm and welcoming. There's a large selection of stores, and they also seem to host a market here on weekends with some more local vendors! For the holidays, they have a cute Christmas setup and a meet Santa station. I also feel everything I've bought here has been fairly priced. I just got some Christmas presents for my mom, including locally made pottery for less than I usually see on Etsy. The food options here are great, and it's a cozy spot for families and couples! Every time I come, I tell myself I'm going to come back more frequently. Just visit. You'll find something you like!

I love that there are so many options here. I remember when there was nothing but trees and grass!…read more Some of the options include the following *not the entire list -Angry Jerk -Eggspectation -Peter Changs -Busboys and Poets -Toastique -Smashing Grapes -The Charmery -Blackwall Barn and Lodge -Banditos -Dok Khao Thai -Game on arcade I don't love the parking situation though. There's garage and surface lot parking but it's always busy and the spaces are tight. If there's an event nearby, expect the parking to be a nightmare.

I attended Books in Bloom in the Merriweather District. It was a beautiful event complete with…read moreauthors, books for sale and freebies, and flowers. It was right in the middle of all of the restaurants and other venues. I got the chance to meet Kwame Alexander. I love his books. I will now be in attendance of Books in Bloom annually. So much fun!

We visited the store today. They have a good selection of clothes. I found a really good deal ona…read moreRalph Lauren Dress! I love it only $32 dollars since they have an extra 25 % percent off on red tag clearances! So i was very happy about that. The young man ho helped me with my return ( a drss that is full of sequins) he was so nice but sadly i didn't get his name. Also shoutout to Naya! She was phenomenal. Amazing customer service. Very agreeable and so very nice! She checked us out since we purchased new items from the store. She had such a great aura to her that she was so lovely and it made my night, especially it is almost closing and she still had a lot of energy i love that for her!

This Nordstrom Rack is tucked away in the rear sort of the rear of Columbia Crossing…read more Parking is plentiful, just not directly in front. Its normally quiet and steady customer traffic. Ive never had any issues coming to this location. I didnt find what I went for but I definitely found some nice clothing articles and flat shoes. Im not a fan of looking/searching through miscellaneous racks of clothes. It just annoys me. I managed to do such today for a few minutes not long and was out. The line was a little long because of a couple customers at the counters but all in all it was good.

3.28.26 I used to…read morereally enjoy coming to this mall, but in recent years it has noticeably declined. Many well-known retailers have closed or are in the process of closing, and they're being replaced by lesser-known stores that don't offer the same level of quality. Two retailers that are closing are Eddie Bauer Outlet and Saks Off 5th. Parking has also become a major challenge. The lots are consistently overcrowded, and it's not unusual to spend a significant amount of time circling just to find a space. During our visit today, my husband and I arrived around 5:15 PM, only to find that a shooting had just occurred. Patrons were evacuating, and traffic quickly became extremely congested as everyone attempted to leave at once. I do hope the remaining retailers I enjoy continue to stay. Unfortunately, one of my go-to stores, Banana Republic Factory, no longer carries petite sizes. I was totally bummed. On a more positive note, I did notice signage for their rewards program, Simon+, which seems like a nice incentive for frequent shoppers. More information is available at https://plus.simon.com.

Busy shopping center with many options for food and retail!…read more Didn't realize how many places were here until today. I went to HomeSense, TJ Maxx and Joann. I'm pretty sure I went to the Buffalo Wild Wings here many years ago but didn't realize it was in this shopping center! It's busy getting in and out of here! Some of the other places in this center (this is definitely not all): -Big Lots -Bob's Discount -BJ's Brewhouse -Dick's Sporting Goods -Sally's -Nordstrom Rack -Maiwand -Vitamin Shoppe -Mission BBQ -Old Navy -Target -PNC Bank -Famous Dave's Again, this isn't all that's over here!!

Has to one of the worst-thought out shopping centers in the world. Basically one way in and one…read moreway out (unless you know there is a nearly hidden 'back' entrance). The 'main drag' meanders and snakes through the center with parking and stores on both sides, then makes a sharp left.....and then more meandering. Do not try to make a left turn out of any parking area without having about 20 minutes to wait for a break in the traffic coming from both directions. I try not to come here, but needed a book that I did not have time to order online. And the bookstore? That's another review, and not a good one either.

So happy to see this place popping again! For years it was so dead over here. I think the Burger…read moreKing was the only thing that was left. I always felt it was such wasted space. Well no more! There's a Sprouts grocery store that's been open awhile now. There's now a TJ Maxx, Allure Nails, Moby Dicks, MyEyeDr, upcoming Chipotle, PNC Back, and a brand spanking new Isaacs (opened a few days ago). There's still space left for more businesses. I think a boba shop or a wine bar would be great additions. There's a big parking lot!

After years of sitting almost empty after businesses closed or moved to new locations, Burtonsville…read moreCrossing has undergone a revitalization. New stores have opened this year and others are coming soon. The center's sidewalks are lined with planters full of brightly colored flowers making it quite attractive. There is a small patio area between two of the stores with artificial grass providing some greenery. Replacing the a grocery store that relocated years ago is Sprouts, which features many organic and plant based foods. It has departments with produce, bakery items, a deli, meat and seafood, prepared meals to go, frozen foods, and pantry items. It also carries frozen crab cakes and a frozen pizza brand that were both rated "the best" in separate reviews. The crab cakes are Sprouts' own brand and the pizza is one I haven't found anywhere else. Much to my surprise a review of grocery stores rated Sprouts as number one. Also open in the shopping center are a new TJ Maxx, Ulta, and Moby Dick Kabobs. Planned businesses include a Domain Fitness, an Eggspectation restaurant. and a bank, among others. Burtonsville Crossing is located right off Columbia Pike and there is plenty of parking. I'm happy to see the area thriving again.
