Hard Times Cafe - Chili - Located in the large shopping center at Cherry Hill Road and Route 1. Very good food and also serves some good local fermented beverages from Old Dominion Brewery in virginia for those who partake in fermented beverages.
Chipotle - Mexican - Gourmet Fast Food mexican. The best burrito I've had on the east coast. I eat here at least once a week, but usually 2-3 times at week. Located off Cherry Hill Road between the hotel and venue.
Old Hickory Grill - Southeast - These guys will be providing the barbeque for lunch on saturday, but I'd still recomend this place for dinner on friday. Really good food and a very nice atmosphere, but not too expensive. Also features fermented beverages from Old Dominion Brewery. Located off route 198 (Spencerville road). From the venue, turn left onto old columbia pike. When the road ends, take a right onto 198. Old Hicory Grill is on the left soon after you turn. It's next to a gun store for those who partake in the second ammendment.
Ledo's pizza - Pizza (What did you expect?) - Maryland style pizza. Now an east coast chain, but they started right here. Try the twice cooked bacon. Located in the shopping center at New Hampshire Ave and Randolph Road. From the venue, take a right onto Randolph Road. After crossing New Hampshire Ave, turn right into the shopping center. There is another Ledo's in Laurel, which can be found by going north on Route 1.
National Chains: Bennigan's, Ruby Tuesday, Chili's, Friday's, Olive Garden and others can all be found in the Laurel area. From the hotel, just go north on Route 1 until you see one you like.
AVOID: Friendlies in the Cherry Hill Shopping Center (Near chipotle and starbucks). They have a tradition of _really_ bad service.
