Meals Made Easy at Annapolis Town Center

We all know that after a long day of work, planning dinner is the last thing you want to think about. Well, we are here to let you know that the restaurants at the Annapolis Town Center are here to help. From pre-planned meals to delivery, these establishments can help ease the stress of planning while also satisfying everybody at the table. 

Lunch Kits

PF Changs truly makes ordering on the fly as easy as it gets. Their Family Meals can satisfy families of all sizes. Order for 2, 4 or even 6. It all starts at only $13 per person! Or, if you’re just looking for something quick on your lunch break, take a look at any of their lunch bowls! The best part? You can order online and get contactless delivery, curbside pick-up, or takeout. 

Recipes

Target has made sure that planning dinners for the week doesn’t take up too much of your time. Check out the Groceries section of their website for a number of yummy ideas; from Pizza Nights to Target to Table, and a ton of seasonally-themed meal ideas.

Whole Foods has all the recipes for those looking to master the basics, the classics, or the I’ve-never-cooked-this-before-but-really-want-to meals. On their recipe page, you can find ideas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But, look a little further and you can find dishes for each season and ethnicity – plus vegan and keto options. Of course, we could list them all here, but we think you should go look for yourself. You never know what you’ll find! 

Happy Hour

From 2:00-5:00 pm (Mon. – Fri.), Cooper’s Hawk serves up some amazing Happy Hour specials that are too good to not try at least once. Of course, they have their wine, specialty drinks, and cocktails, but their appetizers and flatbreads are just as worthy of praise.

Fall Dining Favorites at Annapolis Town Center

In case you haven’t noticed the presence of pumpkin-spice on nearly every menu, I think it’s safe to say that we have fully transitioned into an autumn food palate. Squash soups, pumpkin desserts, and kettle corn. You know – the classics. And even more importantly, it’s a time for gatherings with loved ones, typically with food present. Even though  get-togethers might look different, you can find all the fall foods you might be craving at the Annapolis Town Center. 

Gordon Biersch

Gordon Biersch is one of those restaurants that serves up a little bit of everything; with every dish being equally as delicious! From fish to pizzas and even burgers, there’s something to satisfy everyone’s cravings. Especially with their addition of their seasonal menu, featuring Chicken Schnitzel, Bavarian Pretzel, and Drunken Salmon. All of this accompanied, of course, with Gordon Biersch’s Oktoberfest beer. If you’re dining in, enjoy fresh craft beer on tap or take it home in a growler. And, when you sign up for their rewards, you’ll get 10 GB Bucks for your next visit. Let’s be real, you’ll definitely be going back!

P.F. Changs China Bistro

Let  P.F. Changs China Bistro help with everything you might need to make it your next family gathering happen. Catering is as easy as 1 – 2 – 3 with their new Individual Meals; the perfect limited-contact option for groups of all sizes. With their variety of wok-fired meals, there is something for everyone at the table. Plus, when you order through the app, you can have it delivered right to your door, and you can earn points while doing it when you sign up for their rewards! And,  before you check out, make sure to look at their cocktails to-go to save you an extra trip to the liquor store. 

Ziki Japanese Steakhouse

If you went to Annapolis Town Center’s Dinner on the Boulevard, then you know how absolutely mouth-watering Ziki Japanese Steakhouse is. Great sushi? Yes. Delicious Lunch Box specials? Yes. And, will hibachi always hit the spot? Absolutely! Call ahead and make a reservation to enjoy the overlook view. Or, if you want to stay in your sweatpants, you can order online. But, make sure you order for everyone in the house. These are leftovers you’ll want to keep your eyes on!

But, you can also enjoy one of their burgers, subs or salads. Neo has a certain way of satisfying everybody’s appetite. Enjoy on their patio or order carry-out or delivery from any room in the house.

We are inviting the community to Buy A Meal (whether take-out, delivery or even a gift card) at one of the participating Annapolis Town Center restaurants and we will Give A Meal to students in need by donating a percentage of all restaurant sales to Anne Arundel County Public Schools, benefiting their student lunch program.
