Tried the Mining Co for dinner...left unimpressed. Don't order the steak. My medium-rare steak was dry and hard, small, and quite overpriced. My gf had the crab cake which (despite being overpriced- and different from the price on the menu) much better. The desserts were better than the food. For $18 a person, you'd wish they'd at least have clean bathrooms. I'll definitely choose a different place in the future. read more

We had a horrible visit here last weekend. The food was definitely not great, but the environment created by the staff was horrible. I could have ignored my chicken wrap that was all lettuce or my husbands unseasoned salmon, but I cannot ignore the staff making fun of a clearly challenged man trying to fill out an application. Yes, he kept falling asleep at the table he was sitting at, but he should have been asked to leave, not openly mocked by employees in front of customers. Totally disrespectful to him and us. We shouldn't have had to listen to them degrade him. One server in particular was especially rude. She deliberated walked past him several times to laugh at him and make derogatory comments as she walked by. He was eventually asked to leave, but not before we had to watch the staff mock him for 20 odd minutes. Definitely will not come back or recommend this restaurant. read more

Not impressed!! Ordered a burger and it took way too long to come out. When it finally did come out, half was pink and the other half was done. The French fries were cold and the pickle was hot. Crab soup was most definitely from a can... one piece of crab meat in it. It was by far the worst! I will never eat at Silver Spring Mining Co. again. read more

Ate here on a Saturday night while in town for a lacrosse tournament. At 7:30 on a Saturday the place was empty but despite that our service was incomprehensibly slow. The waitress was rude and our food took forever. Look elsewhere. read more

The newly remodeled upper restaurant was not worth the wait. This had been my fav place for ribs - fall off the bone, tender ribs. Not today. The half rack was dry and didn't appear freshly cooked - warmed. Ribs and fries $20.....thud!!! Our server was not very alert. We were a party of five, asked for individual checks. He said he couldn't do that???!!! read more

It's been a while since I've reviewed a chain restaurant but sometimes a resturant "facelift" gives me just the push I need. Silver Spring put a lot of money and energy into re-establishing their menu, their decor, and their overall vibe. They widdled down their menu, which I think was the first step in reimaging their brand. If you have a large menu but can't execute that menu... well, then what's the point of the large menu in the first place? I think the menu choices were a solid fit, that match the decor and was pretty tasty. Our waitress was attentive, always checking back on the table and grabbing us drinks. Overall, I was satisfied with the new approach Silver Spring is trying to take. read more

I've loved this place for years and always thought their food was awesome. I came back to Baltimore to visit a couple weeks ago though and had a really bad meal. The quality really seems to have gone downhill. The food seemed to be of a cheaper quality and the service was pretty bad too. Maybe I was thrown off by the fact that the upstairs is closed, I'm not sure. I'm going to give them another chance in a few months. I hope it was a fluke. I really have loved it here for years. read more

I don't mind paying a lot for great food. Here we paid a lot for not very good food. I ordered a tenderloin sandwich. The sauce was very good but the meat itself was very low quality. My boyfriend ordered a chicken dish which was fried to a crisp. Very dry. We had those two dishes a beer and two glasses of wine for $75. read more

First time her an I most says it a nice family atmosphere waiters where nice food was bland just another restaurant nothing special

I don't know what's going on at Silver Spring....the restaurant that has been on that corner for years and years before Perry Hall was an overcrowded part of the county with all its construction and franchise restaurants. It use to be a go to place for a good meal...However when I read the recent reviews I have to agree with them. Things are not so good. I know they are going through a major renovation upstairs so you have to eat in the bar downstairs which is very dark. I personally like to eat upstairs and watch all the traffic on Belair Rd. But this bar area is nice with booths and tvs in each so you can watch sports or whatever. There are specials at night but we were there for a quick lunch. .I got a water with hardly any ice. I almost asked for more but service was hit or miss this afternoon. Three of us ordered salads. The spinach salad looked ok but my walnut raspberry salad which was described so well on the menu was the biggest disappointment. How do you charge $10 for a salad that had brown ice berg lettuce and still frozen raspberries? That was about all that was in it. Maybe a few romaine leaves. After a few bites,I refused to eat it. I am surprised the waitress actually served such a terrible looking salad. The dressing was the thickness of ketchup and did not taste well. She did offer to get me something else but my stomach was queezy after the few bits I decided to take. The manager even came over and offered to order me something else but we had an appointment and could not stay any longer to do this. I was really disappointed in this whole experience. One server was in the bathroom complaining about not having enough customers and how long the construction was taking. Most of the servers were just hanging around talking at the bar. It just did not have a pleasant atmosphere. I can say in all my years of eating at Silver Spring this is one of the worst experiences. I have felt that the service and food has been going down lately and have chosen other places to eat. I think I will stay away from here till I read better reviews and they finish up their renovations. They need to get back to the way it was before. Good service and great service you could count on. Pride in the food you serve and attention to every detail. Overcooked food and overpriced food are several complaints by other recent reviews and I am sure if things continue customers will not return. read more

Went in for dinner and to watch the O's. After being seated for 10+ min someone came over for drinks and appetizer order. Waited another 20 min for our drinks. By this time my husband had checked in w our waiter to see what the hold up was, w no apology they said they were running behind. Another 20 min of no food, no apology, and no waiter my husband approached our waiter who was near the manager. Explained the situation and that we were leaving. Both did nothing to prevent us from leaving. Really sad service and definitely won't return. read more

Last time I went the waiter took forever with our food. People who came after us ate and left before us. When we finally got our food it was cold as hell. Poor service. read more

Took the family here for dinner after work cause it is close but what a mistake!! The service was horrible took a long time to even take our drink order. The waitress must have been taking cigarette brakes in between because we could not find her and she came back smelling like smoke bad ! The only thing good about the place was the food it was not busy at all and it took for ever for our order come out! I would not recommend this place for its service but the food was good! read more

The food was good but the service was really slow despite the fact that it was not crowded at all.

I am not at all a picky eater. With that being said I was very underwhelmed while eating lunch at this place. I went here for lunch and service was great. Our waitress was kind and everything came out fast. Sadly, a salad, a wrap, a soup, and a water should not be $38 before tip. The salad was prepared with prepped everything...frozen, not fresh, berries, canned mandarin oranges. My wrap has the same pre-sliced chicken strips as the salad. I felt gross after I ate half of the food. The salad was not worth $15 (a price I'm fine paying at a nice establishment), and a $15 wrap is ridiculous. Unfortunately I didn't have the same positive experience as many others here did. read more

I have been here many times and always enjoyed both the food and service. I usually get the crab pretzel because of it's amazingness but tonight I tried the "eastern shore wrap" and it was SO GOOD. I've also tried their burger and nachos which were also good. read more

On 08/12/16 at around 11:00 PM I found myself parched and hungry. I immediately reported to SSMC to solve these problems. I was promptly greeted by Ashley, who was tending the lower level bar. She had a delicious draft in front of me before I could even situate myself in my seat! I had a difficult time with selecting which I wanted from the amazing looking menu but Ashley helped me select and I ultimately choose the Crisfield Burger. The burger arrived quickly and was cooked perfectly. During my stay Ashley ensured that my drink was never empty and met all my needs! She was very friendly and a great representation of a wonderful business. read more

The food was fairly average, though the mozzarella sticks are amazing. They are cheese wrapped in egg roll wrappers and delicious, though a little pricey (4 for 8 dollars) Come if only for that because youll probably have a different service experience. Us however, we sat in the bar area and the girl with the long black hair and glasses was our waitress. She sucked. She was slow and she would come to the table and drop something off and almost run away before we could ask for anything. It was the middle of the day and she had no one to help but a few guys at the bar and us. She even told her that we were kind of in a rush and she still wouldn't come back to the table for ages. It was sad. read more

We filled the last 2 barstools at the bar on what seemed to be a slow night, made eye contact with bartender and 20 mins later, never got served, or even acknowledged. He finally saw us stand up to leave and said he would be right with us. He walked to other side of bar and started talking with friends. Not making drinks or anything, just talking to friends. Tic Tok Mining company, Perry Hall customers deserve better, your time is coming soon if service doesn't get better. Place has gotten dirty also. read more

BOGO happy hour all day every day?!? Yes please!!! Yummy crab pretzel and ribs too! Great sports bar type restaurant

We were pretty happy here. Server was nice. Steak was done correctly, fries were done right, coleslaw was good. Quesadilla was a little dry but tasted good. Overall experience was nice. We will be back to try the sour beef. read more

This review is only for the crab cake Early Bird special, as I've never dared to venture outside what I know is really damned good at this restaurant. I'm more than willing to pretend that eating dinner at 4:30pm is a reasonable idea in order to pig out on a cup of Maryland crab soup, a broiled lump mass of crabby goodness with steamed veggies on the side, and a calorie-laden dessert of vanilla ice cream doused in caramel sauce and dusted with cinnamon. And if that wasn't enough, they have really good fried pickles. Yum. read more

Meh, not a big fan. Service was super slow, and the food as just ok. Nothing to write home about.

Captain crunch chicken tenders are soooooo good! I was thinking about them the entire night after we left. I sat at the bar and the service was pretty good. I went after 9 on a Friday but the bar on the bottom floor was not packed at all. read more

Relatively nondescript decor and average menu. The food was fine, although I won't go out of my way to visit again. Our server was fantastic. read more

Experience in best to worst:great parking options, ok drink special, menu nothing great, got chips and salsa and the chips were terribly stale and the rather arrogant and unfriendly brunette bartender never offered anything else nor an apology. The unfriendly service will not make me go back. If you like to be ignored, served bad food, stick to the bar and hang out in a low ceiling basement ...go for it, but it;s not my thing. read more

Today the service and food where great. Kept it simple with a side of sea weed salad which was just as good as some of the Asian Establishments I visit. It wasn't a side but they had no problem accommodating my needs. Wait staff was excellent. Then bad some basic appetizers and wings. Kept it simple for a first time. The menu looked very good and want to go back and try their sour beef. I would recommend this spot. I will be going back to see what else they can do. Also a very Clean Resturant all the way around. read more

Sour beef was very good and crab cakes were pretty good. Don't stray beyond that and the basic burgers, fries, etc. I wanted the ribs tonight, but they were sold out, so I tried the beef fajitas. Major mistake! It was pot roast and grilled onions seasoned with a little Worcester sauce. Meal included 4 tortillas, a little shredded cheese and shredded lettuce, and a little plastic cup, like you use for ketchup at a fast food place, filled with a mild salsa. read more

Great crab cake! Went here as a "half-way" meeting place between DC and Philadelphia and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. read more

Horrible service - bartenders looked away from the customers most of the time and it took 20 min to get a drink and 40 min to get a food order in. Bathroom was like standing in a sewage plant with pee all over the floor. This place needs new management. read more

Good food an typically good service. Good crab cakes and crab soups. Great place to go when you're looking for chain restaurant prices but you're looking for somewhere to go beside Friday's, Applebee's and Chili's. read more

Have stopped into Silver Spring Mining Company over the years. They are definitely going through major renovations right now, which is fine by us, because we enjoy the bar area more. Stopped in for some appetizers the other night. Wings are HUGE and their crab pretzel is one my favorites in the area. Not one of our main destinations in the area but usually stop in a couple times a year. read more

Good sandwiches and wraps. Good beer list. A lot of people go there for Ravens games. Have eaten there 5-6 times and never disappointed. Wife says it has improved greatly over the past few years. read more

First time in since the remodel. Outstanding! Sat in the bar on 1/18th and the service was tremendous. Wings...awesome...Asian Scallops....amazing....Filet....better than any area steakhouse! Oh and the BlackBerry sangria....The best sangria I've had in quite some time. Great remodel, looks great!!!! New favorite spot in White Marsh/Parkville area! read more

Superb food! My favorites are the crab pretzel, the open-faced Reuben sandwich, & the broiled crab cakes! The bar staff is friendly and accommodating. read more

We have not been to Silver Spring Mining Co in quite some time due to some bad experiences in the past. It has been approx 2 years, so we thought we would try it again. We were greeted politely, and offered a sample of sangria. We both tried the peach sangria, and it was delicious. When checking the price of a glass, we opted for something else. MUCH to expensive, in our opinion. I ordered my favorite, the honey bourbon ribs and my boyfriend ordered the fried shrimp. The ribs were the usual delicious. The fried shrimp were medium sized and very dry. They also had a very strong fish taste to them. He did not eat them all, as they were just not good. The potatoes and salad were adequate. The service was good, but the server, Dawn, could have been more friendly. A smile and a little happiness in her voice would have been a nice addition to our meal. She did keep our drinks filled and checked back with us. I think we will probably not be back any time soon. As much as I enjoyed the ribs, the shrimp was less than good and certainly not cheap. We dine out daily for lunch and usually about 3-4 times per week for dinner. We don't mind paying for good food and service.....and we were less than impressed...again. We did leave the server a 25% tip, as she did an adequate job. It would have been better if she would have engaged a little more. read more

We had our son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner at Silver Spring Mining Co., Hunt Valley. Heather Thomas did a magnificent job making sure all of our requests were taken care of. We were delighted with the printed menu Heather created, and the room looked wonderful. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. Asst. Manager Jeff Timmons was in touch with us throughout the evening, making sure everything was going to our liking. We couldn't have been more pleased! read more

Went with large group for lunch on their patio. Ordered a Bloody Mary, nothing special. Was charged $11. This was not a speciality drink. I don't know if the waitress padded the bill.or not but $11 for a Bloody Mary is outrageous. Doubt if I will be back. Food was OK. read more

I don't do business with Silver Spring Mining Company. They send birthday coupons to me and another member of my family. I feel that since I don't do business with them, they are invading my privacy. I have tried to contact them 3 times by email to have them stop, no answer each time. read more

Food was good, and the wine was so good. Service was great too. Will go again. Definitely try the peach wine.
