We asked which Arbutus hotspots deserve national attention. Take a look at this list of the best of the best:

• "I enjoy visiting the Ice Cream Cottage when I am in town. Sandwiches and ice cream, maybe a snowball, too. Great hometown feel!"
• "Sorrento of Arbutus favorite pizza and great staff!"
• "Little Abner's"
• "royal farms"
• "I have to say the Village Junction Bakery, but I may be a little bias."

OpenTable recently released their list of “100 Hottest Restaurants in America for 2016.” Only one Maryland eatery made the list, and it wasn’t from Arbutus.

The website determines its “best of” list by analyzing more than 5 million diner reviews of over 20,000 restaurants nationwide.

Even though the competition was stiff, we still think your favorite greasy spoons deserve their time in the spotlight.
