First Class Outdoor Dining Options Right in Aberdeen
While we navigate our "new normal" amid the diminishing yet ever-present threat of COVID-19, Aberdeen restaurant owners are brilliantly adapting to the outdoor dining model deemed safe by Governor Hogan just a few days ago. To date, Prost German Restaurant (pictured above is their new "biergarten"), Chaps Pit Beef, La Tolteca, The Green Turtle, the Olive Tree, TB3, and Panera can all safely accommodate you and your family and friends! If we missed one, please email us here!
