    We were intrigued about this place because several years ago, we drove by and string lights were on…read moreand it seemed really busy. We came here to celebrate a personal milestone and we did it at the last moment. Luckily, there was a table for it. We did not know what to expect, but some menu items had a nice twist to the dish. However, one dish was by far the best: the deviled eggs. The sauce and the prep was just amazing. It is not a lot of food and it is $20, but we both thought it was worth it to come back to eat it again. The other dishes we ordered were good, but the most memorable was the deviled eggs. I liked how they had a leaderboard for frequent customers though. That was cool to just stare at. The location has parking on the rocks and it was full by 6 pm on a Thursday. There is outside seating and limited inside seating. The bar area looked fairly busy because it was happy hour time. Its an old timey restaurant with a more mature setting that made us think of places like eating on Kent Island or Annapolis or St. Michaels. It is a hidden gem here - especially where it was located. We did notice that there was a dominant demographic dining here. We felt a bit out of place, but don't care, the deviled eggs were too good.

    It was our first time at Monocacy Crossing, and we really enjoyed their happy hour at the bar. The…read moreservice was friendly and attentive, and the happy hour specials were great! The cocktails were well-made and balanced--strong without being overly sweet. We had the spicy paloma, whiskey sour, and the happy hour sparkling rosé. The goat cheese fritters were definitely cheesing! I actually spread them over the complimentary bread to make a little "crostini," and it was delicious! The highlight of our meal was the salmon with mashed potatoes and zucchini. They were also kind enough to split our entrée for us, which we appreciated. Definitely will be back to try more dishes and, of course, dessert! Hopefully, the weather will be nice enough next time for us to enjoy their patio. Overall, we had a great time!

    Wilcom's Inn offers a different and delicious brunch, their Peruvian and American fusion brunch…read moreserved tapas style is a phenomenal idea and I am here for it. Everything I've tried in the few times I've been there has been delicious, made fresh and consistently delicious! Their Shrimp Linquini A la Rosa is the best thing! But they have so many other good things like the poached eggs, the mini empanadas, the cream of crab soup, the dress leches cake and more! You will certainly find something you like! Service is also always attentive, friendly and they know exactly when they should strike a conversation or not. The place is quite old and it carries a nice vibe inside, one side is a bar and the other the dinning room! I need to try out the bar one of these days! I highly recommend Wilcom's Inn brunch, it is pricey but it is worth it!

    I have eaten here several times in the past two years. Every plate, every dish has been delicious…read moreand very well prepared. This is a kitchen that knows how to create a variety of dishes that are not simple or trivial. The sauces are very well done, the noodles are always done nicely, heck -- they now how to cook, and they execute really well on every dish. I have had seafood, beef, and all kinds of dishes here that have always come out and satisfied !!! This is a rural gem worthwhile getting to know. And the cocktails are professional. The wines list is pretty darn good. Specials are great. The 5 star rating is for location (accessible to me), quality of find and drink, and the absolutely decent price (punches above its weight). The service is what you are happy with in a 3 star restaurant, so it's a win budget wise ;-)
