Great service, great food.
Although Scottie's is located right next to a BP gas station, don't let that fool you! The food is great and the staff is friendly. Very reasonable prices.

Small-town USA at it's best! Ridgeway is a 10-15 minute drive from Blythewood and Laura's Tea Room is great! If you want to have High Tea, you'll need a reservation on weekends.

A little upscale from what Blythewood has to offer, but you'll have to drive 20 minutes. It's worth every minute. We've never had a bad meal at this restaurant.
Voted Best Restaurant in the Northeast, 2020.
