In 1988 Linwoods opened its doors, and it has been a labour of love for more than thirty years. Linwoods’ cuisine consists of the freshest ingredients, and inventive preparation. Our service is warm and attentive. We have developed a reputation for consistency an attention to detail. These qualities are key to our catering business as well. Our team has worked hard to connect to our community, and we value our customers. These values have been central to Ellen and Linwood’s vision, and we hope are felt by our customers each day.

    Great service. Excellent food. I went all in for French onion. French onion soup and French onion burger with fries. Both were outstanding. In fact, the fries were the second best fries I've ever had. The best fries in the world are made by Thrashers in Ocean City, Maryland and Rehoboth, Delaware. But the fries at Linwoods are a close second.

    Front of the House - Patti was fantastic. Wonderful greeting. Makes you want to come back. Genuine, professional and does honor to the Atlas Restaurant Group brand. Wait Staff - new to me. Helpful. On her game. Observant. Meal - Maryland Crab Soup with oyster crackers and Shrimp cocktail. Seasoned. Tasty. Perfect lunch time meal. Booth - 44 requires new cushion and covering. Material is worn and does not reflect well on the Brand. Kitchen - one wonderful meal at a time. Maryland flag has aged a warrant’s replacement. Management - Professional and they circulate around the Dining Room - makes a difference. Gift cards - very nice program with $ 25 for every $ 150 purchased. great gifts.

    Have been to Gertrude's a few times and it has always been enjoyable. This visit was, as expected, just as memorable. The original cocktail was interesting and wonderfully flavorful. The other classic cocktail was expertly mixed and was like a visit from an old friend. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. What really made the night complete was the charming and helpful server, Grace. No matter how good food and drink is, a restaurant either succeeds or fails based on the quality of the service. Fortunately, this restaurant has staff as lovely and accommodating as Grace. Thank you all for a wonderful birthday dinner.
