Explore 5485 Restaurant And Bar

If you’re looking for a spot in Columbia, MD, that delivers both comfort and quality without feeling like a standard hotel restaurant, 5485 Restaurant And Bar is a gem worth checking out. Located conveniently inside the DoubleTree Hotel at 5485 Twin Knolls Rd, it has earned a reputation among locals for more than just accommodating hotel guests. From the moment you walk in, the staff sets the tone with warm, attentive service that feels personal-morning, noon, or night, the front desk, manager, and breakfast team all contribute to an inviting atmosphere. The menu leans toward elevated pub-style fare, giving classic comfort foods a fresh twist. Crispy, well-seasoned fries are just the start, complementing mains like the rich and creamy Pasta Alfredo, which tastes distinctly homemade.

Meat dishes stand out as well, with the pork belly over corn and the pork loin both showcasing thoughtful flavors; the honey ginger glaze is a highlight when paired just right. The house salad with blue cheese adds a refreshing balance, while the chicken wings are a solid choice for something more casual. While some dishes, like the peppercorn ribeye, receive mixed feedback, the overall experience leans heavily toward satisfying and well-prepared offerings.

The service is great and the food is good. Really enjoyed the pork belly over corn. The pork loin entree is also good. I'd recommend getting the honey ginger glaze on the side because I tend to put too much. The Spaghetti Frutti Di Mare is a nice pasta dish. If you're not a fan of baby octopus you might ask them to leave them out. The house salad with blue cheese is good, chicken wings. I've had mixed reviews on the peppercorn ribeye.

I read some of the reviews of this restaurant prior to arriving because I was staying at the hotel. At first, I was a bit skeptical of even entertaining the idea of trying this restaurant based on what people wrote, therefore, I started researching other restaurants within close proximity. Whenever my wife and I arrived at the hotel (7 Feb 2024), it was a little bit later than anticipated, so we ended up just staying on property and eating at this restaurant - thankfully it was still open. When we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted very nicely by a couple of employees. Since it was a weekday, the restaurant wasn't busy at all so it was quiet...adding to the enjoyable/relaxing atmosphere. When we sat down and read through the drink menu, I quickly realized that I was on the East Coast because I saw one of my favorite beers on the menu...Yuengling! Being from Las Vegas, NV, we don't have that beer in the city, as odd as it may sound, considering that city has pretty much everything. So whenever I travel East, I try to find this beer whenever I can. Our server, Meaza, was phenomenal! It was refreshing to have a server who was very friendly, attentive, efficient, and amiable...because it seems rare these days to have customer service like this. Our food was amazing; it's unfortunate that other people didn't have that same experience (based on their reviews). We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wings, Salmon Piccata, Spaghetti Frutti di Mare, Sautéed Spinach, and Steamed Broccoli. I will say that I've had slightly better Buffalo Chicken Wings, but these weren't awful either. Having experienced so many different restaurants in Las Vegas, it can be difficult at times to eat anywhere else without having a bias towards Las Vegas dining. But I can honestly say that the quality and quantity of this restaurant's entrées were remarkable. The following day, my wife and I tried the breakfast at this restaurant in hopes that the previous night's dinner wasn't a fluke. We opted for the full breakfast buffet because for one, I reserved the hotel room that comes with this buffet every morning. Also, it's more beneficial, from a price standpoint, to get the full buffet ($16.95), versus ordering off the menu. You can also order the continental buffet which costs $11.95; however, I wasn't in the mood to just get cold breakfast food. The options were spectacular...and the quality of the food was even more astonishing. We ended up eating the full buffet for the entire stay and the food options were the same for the most part - I think my favorite entrée/item on the buffet line was the Mushroom Casserole and of course the bacon. Also, of noteworthy significance, both Irene and Angela did such a prodigious job with their customer service skills to which I wish this business would publicize their incredible skills for other restaurant's employees to emulate. They were both VERY friendly, professional, attentive, and highly efficient in every way. The décor was nice but I felt that the fabric on some of the booth seating could use some deep steam cleaning...to include the carpets. Overall, my experience here was extraordinary. I can't validate others' experience, but based on ours, I highly recommend this restaurant to all visitors and locals.

This is the restaurant in the Doubletree Hotel. We weren't staying at the hotel, we're locals, but it's near where we live so we thought we would try it. Actually the food is very good and not too overpriced like hotels can sometimes be. Most of the food options were high end Pub type food. The fries were crispy and nicely spiced. I ordered the Pasta Alfredo and the sauce tasted fresh and homemade. The service was really great too. They seemed really excited to have locals as I think they mostly just get Hotel guests.

My family and I went to the restaurant on a Sunday evening, and we experienced friendly and attentive service (from Patrick) and tasty food. This place is kid friendly and has reasonable prices. We’ll definitely be coming back.
