The coffee was okay and food wasn't my favorite. I wasn't the biggest fan of some of the vegan/vegetarian options. On the other hand, the staff were great! They were very friendly and very informative. It's a nice small spot. read more

Food was decent but the wait was too long. 40 min for 2 sandwiches and a salad? No thanks.

Went to get hot coffee on a rainy day. Did not get a chance to try out the food today, but the lavender latte that I got was just perfect. He made the coffee for me right on the spot, so I appreciated how quickly I got it. They close the indoor seating area when I was there, but the window side table area was available. read more

Accessible both from Deep Creek Drive and Garrett Highway, the coffee shop has a modest menu and a small selection of pastries. There is patio seating. The parking lot is gravel, so unmarked lanes and haphazard parking. My friend ordered a large coffee, but it was smaller than a small at other places. The service was fast and friendly. read more

Beautiful spot. But be prepared to wait...outside. My caramel latte was too sweet for my preference. You could t taste coffee. Some people prefer that, it's not my taste. Our sandwiches were very good, we got the breakfast ciabatta. Now it was Fourth of July weekend but they are no busier than everywhere else. Plenty of staff working. 20 minute wait to order. 40 minutes to get two breakfast sandwiches. They only permit five people inside at a time and the have the inside dining area closed. Honestly I would prefer to rate this 3.5 stars because the food quality was good. Just too long to wait. read more

Very limited menu and small portion sizes Food: we ordered the sandwiches from here and I got the three cheese sandwich which was extremely oily. It was also just half a sandwich, so was just not that Great! Price: very cheap- will order some more food next time! read more

Healthy quality food. Great service Also beautiful yummy treats, made in house by owners read more

$$$$$$$ good was horrible & took forever for 2 BLT's, hardly no bacon after asking for extra

While we understand that it's a busy holiday weekend, the service and the product itself was absolutely unacceptable. After waiting 1 hour to get our sandwiches, this is the monstrosity that was delivered to us. This "avocado ciabatta" that I paid an extra $6 for to include bacon and chicken was supposed to include red peppers and chipotle Mayo and yet, it's the driest sandwich I've ever seen holding leftover day-old bacon and canned chicken on soggy wheat bread. Nothing about this is a respectful for a paying customer who waited twice as long for our food and witnessed car loads of customers get their orders who were serviced after us. The worst part is that due to COVID, we were asked to wait outside for our meal. While we're normally very accommodating and patient people, the staff clearly took advantage of the fact that we were out of sight and out of mind. After lying to our faces twice, telling us that they had already made our food, they then let us know that the order receipt "fell behind the counter" causing them to skip over us. It was very apparent that they then threw together makeshift meals in response to us asking where our food was 45-mins into our wait in a rush to close the restaurant. We understand being busy and understaffed, but we do not and will never understand overcharging for a meal that a four year old could have made at pre-school. The only blessing about this place was the pre-bagged dill flavored chips that I had to add to the sandwich to make it tolerable. read more

Canoe On the Run - The monstrosity - Delis Near Me - McHenry, Maryland

The place is cute and has a nice vibe but the coffee just wasn't worth the $7 I spent. I got a small caramel iced latte with an extra shot. They used sugar-free syrup without even asking and there was no ice in it, and the taste of the coffee could've been sooo much better. I ended up not even drinking it. I don't have a problem with paying a lot for coffee but it better be quality then. The workers were super nice but their lack of knowledge of coffee was pretty bad. Not to mention it was $1.50 just for an extra shot of espresso! Probably won't be coming back here! read more

Super cute grab and go breakfast spot with an outdoor area where you can seat yourself. The breakfast sandwich was really good. We also ordered the yogurt with the granola. If you are a granola fan, definitely grab their granola. I'm pretty sure it is their own homemade granola mix. They serve it in a decent size container and you will have left overs to much on later. read more

"Canoe on the Run" offers a good location for those of us that have places/stay near the ski slope. The patio area is very nice during the warmer months. The food on the other hand seems a bit expensive for what you get (and sometime inaccurate) and the wait times are always long. Additionally the folks behind the counter could smile sometimes and acknowledge a customer. TIP: If you want breakfast, get their early since many times they run out of ingredients. read more

The coffee at this little gem is what dreams are made of! The iced white mocha was hands down the BEST coffee I've ever had. The service was quick, but the owner (man behind the counter) could have a little more personality. My friend and I felt as if we were inconveniencing him . read more

We stopped here for a breakfast to go on our way back home. I ordered iced chai and egg sandwich with cheddar on bagel. It was good. A good filling sandwich for the drive back. I also got a simple toast with egg for the toddler. And it's priced the same for the bagel sandwich. Hmmm but the toddler enjoyed it. Their chai is Tazo where you can buy in grocery stores. At least it wasn't Oregon! And I enjoyed it. Great service and they enforced the CDC guidelines of: no more than 5 people in their cafe, social distancing, mask required and once you ordered and paid, wait outside and they had a small table for order pick ups. I felt safe there. Recommended to go there for a yummy breakfast and drink! read more

Solid baked goods but the coffee was just okay. We got iced lattes and the espresso was off and bland. We didn't try the food but it smelled good! read more

My gripe is that even if you dine in on their cool patio all the food comes in to-go containers. The oatmeal is assembly required and comes in three containers. The coffee is in a paper cup. I even asked for a mug and didn't get one. It's wasteful and just feels tacky. read more

A nice place but no WiFi? Really? Good good selection and nice atmosphere. A nice outdoor deck with umbrella tables. read more

Went there for breakfast in the dining room is closed. I ordered the oatmeal, cookie And some type of bakery bar. The oatmeal was good but was barely warm when I ate it in my car. The cookie was pretty good. Whatever that vanilla chocolate cranberry Square was was unbelievably awesome. I guess the reason they're only getting three stars because I would've like to sit down and eat my oatmeal but there was even a sign stating to stand out in the 40° weather and wait for your food while I was being made. read more

Food is good, nice feel to the place, but jeez, isn't it time to open indoor seating guys!? And why this place doesn't stay open for dinner is beyond me. They could make so much more money, especially during ski season. read more

Good breakfast and lunch. Always great soups. Make sure to get there early as they are not open for dinner.

Good coffee. Nice outside seating. But I wish they let us have free refills, especially since the service is slow.

Open for breakfast and lunch only, Canoe On The Run is a landmark restaurant in Deep Creek Lake. The name alone enticed us to give this charming breakfast cafe a try. We were the first customers to arrive Sunday morning, July 13...which meant we had first choice of the pastries! The menu isn't overflowing with items to choose from, but really does that matter if what's on the menu is oh-so-delicious? I think not! I had the oatmeal with fruit and brown sugar. I was impressed that the oatmeal was actually good and not a mushy mess. My husband had the breakfast burrito with spinach ~ SO good! Yes, I had to have a bite...or two...or three of his! We both had a pastry with our coffee. The setting of this restaurant is off the beaten path which makes for a pleasant eating experience. Plenty of outdoor tables! Prices are reasonable too. The only draw back, and the reason for 4.5 stars, is the lack of a nice coffee bar. Don't get me wrong, the coffee is good, and refills are self serve, but honestly it feels uncomfortable filling your coffee mug when the waitress is waiting to fill another customers mug from the same coffee dispenser. read more

Ordered two BLT breakfast sandwiches that were lukewarm and bland. My iced tea also tasted stale. Very disappointed since we were from out of the area and couldn't find many breakfast options when researching restaurants. read more

Things that I love: sangria, eggs, quesadilla, hot sandwiches, corn chowder, rosemary potatoes, service, breakfast croissant sandwiches, roast beef sandwich with horseradish, pet friendly Eh: chili, cold sandwiches, coffee read more

Not really a restaurant, food quality is good but the flavor is extremely underwhelming. The menu is small, they're still in pandemic mode and you can't eat inside which is kinda weird. Thought the breakfast burrito would be a safe bet, it wasn't. It was more of a salad than a breakfast burrito, just had egg and cheese no meat or potatoes, I'd give the burrito a 3.5/10. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a good hearty breakfast. If you're looking for a Whole-Foodsy suburban mom type place that's trendy and hipster at the same time then this is the place for you. Definitely would not go out of my way to come here. read more

I was nervous when I looked through some of the reviews. We decided to go anyway. We had an excellent experience and the staff all seemed to enjoy their job and made us feel welcome to be there. I really enjoyed my coffee as well as my sister. She said hers could have been stronger, but that's just her preference. We will definitely be back when we are back in the area. read more

Great selection of coffee and breakfast sandwiches- beware if you are an early riser as the staff gets there right at opening - they do have seating outside and order ahead which is read more

Iced coffee sizes were pretty small. Food was decent. Bakery was very good. Overall, not a lot of food options for breakfast.

Kind employees, decent food, and good coffee. This place definitely saved us from the atrocious food being served at the Quality Inn. I would recommend more variety with the breakfast though. No option for sunny side up eggs, or a side of meat. Only 'omelet' style eggs on menu. read more

We were looking for a place for lunch on our way home. Shop employee recommended Canoe so we decided to try it. It is a local dive type location which fits in with the Deep Creek area. Menu choices looked good and that is where the enjoyable part of our experience ended. The employees were less than friendly or polite. They also moved as slow as possible. Took 45 minutes to get 2 sandwiches. Food was good but not worth the wit time read more

1) racist 2) served our food (sandwiches) 45 minutes late 3) charged us incorrectly for our order read more

Don't go hungry. I had to wait 30 minutes for a bowl of chili that tasted like tomato bisque with beans.

Best meal I had in Deep Creek. Because of their confusing ordering process (first you order, then you pay ... and leave a tip!, then someone brings you your food), I was prepared to dislike it. How long does it take to make a sandwich? But I found it was well-priced, with a great environment, and cheerful staff. It's only soups and sandwiches though, so the scale is pretty limited. Please open a full-scale restaurant! Deep Creek needs it. read more

Canoe On the Run - Chicken special with cup of chili. - Delis Near Me - McHenry, Maryland

See all

Honestly so was a little let down. They really push the red chili on menu and we came here from brunch. With that in mind, I tried the red chili omelette. The eggs were pretty bland, not much to it, and the red chili reminded me of the flavor of Chef Boyardee ravioli. Not that I had Chef Boyardee, I just would pay for it on my eggs. They also listed it on salad, sandwiches and as a nacho dip. I'd pass on it honestly. The breakfast wrap my boyfriend has was so so. Nothing special. If you come here, I highly recommend going with a special. We also got a prosciutto quesadilla, that was pretty good. The treats they have in the window are really good too. My boyfriend got the nana pudding cookie, and we were delightfully surprised to find it wasn't just flavored banana but had chunks of bananas in it, as well as chunks of vanilla wafer. I got a the lemon cream crumb bar, it was very good too. Not too sweet either. It wasn't a bad stop, I am not sure if I'd of found something better in the area for breakfast. We stopped at the cafe down the way but it was packed and wasn't really a traditional styled sit down. Glad we came, but kind of put off by their signature item. read more

This place is fab! I wish I lived closer - I'd definitely be a frequent customer. As it was, I had only the opportunity to lunch here during a weekend in Deep Creek. My gf raved about the vegetarian chili and her mocha, while I very much enjoyed my pastrami sandwich and vegetable soup. The only thing I didn't love about it was my cranberry bliss bar which had this weird aftertaste I couldn't place. Lots of vegetarian options is always a plus, and I really enjoyed their cosy set up. read more

The sandwiches were great-- way more interesting ingredients and combos than I thought we would find in the area. While the menu has some gems, definitely check out the chalkboard for the daily specials. That's where you'll find the most adventurous and yummy stuff. Basil mayo, roasted red peppers, fresh ciabatta-- all seem to make regular appearances! Oh, and get something sweet from the dessert case to nosh on while you wait. I'd recommend the lime melt away cookie. (you're welcome!) read more

Great place - good food great coffee nice little outdoor hang out spot. Got a large house coffee and a chili omelette. Black beans and chipotle sour cream made the meal. Service was excellent- friendly and fast. Everyone in the place greeted me when I walked it. I will be back. read more

Canoe On the Run - Large coffee and chili omelette. On point! - Delis Near Me - McHenry, Maryland

Great coffee, soup, sandwich shop with a real cozy, warm feel. They have daily specials that include wraps, soups, salads, sandwiches. I would definately go here again and get a yummy lunch. They are coffe and lunch place so they do close early, as they don't have a dinner menu. read more

Original food with a very friendly staff and an inviting atmosphere. They close mid-afternoon but have fantastic lunch and breakfast. Canoe always has some great specials including sandwiches and soups, I'm not positive but I would assume it's mostly homemade or at least local. This is another one of deep creek's hidden gems because it is a little north of most of the action and has an awkward entrance. Stop by year round and enjoy. read more

Always fresh menu! Options are somewhat limited to soups, salads, sandwiches and pastries -- bit always seems fresh and inspired food. Recent avocado mango chicken salad was especially good. Chicken curry sandwich and chicken noodle soup are standouts!! Coffee and espresso options are good too. They are not open for dinner so plan on a big breakfast or lunch visit. read more
