The selection was incredible, and everything looked fresh and homemade. We couldn't resist the apple cider donuts, and when the cashier told us they had been made that very day, we were sold. They were soft, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I also picked up a loaf of cheddar jalapeño bread that was out of this world--cheesy, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. We brought home some chocolate chip cookies for my mom, and they were a huge hit! For lunch, we split an Italian sub and an antipasto salad. Both were so fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Every bite tasted like quality ingredients and care. This is one of those places that feels like a wonderful local secret. Great food, friendly service, and so many tempting options. I'll definitely be back!

Staff and regulars seem to know each other well, giving it a true mom-and-pop feel. We were warmly greeted and seated quickly. Drinks came out right away, and the service was attentive throughout our meal. I had the steak and eggs with house potatoes and toast. While I'm not sure it was actually ribeye as listed, it was tasty and well-priced. The brunch burger was also a hit, no complaints there! They offer a tempting variety of baked goods, including coconut cake, red velvet, and rice crispy treats, plus a fridge full of pies. You can also grab a T-shirt for $20 to celebrate their 40th anniversary. I'm planning to come back for lunch soon to try their award-winning chicken. Bonus: there's plenty of parking in the back.

Still has that beer taste but pretty light 5.5/10 Smokehouse chili - actually one of the best chili! It's on the sweeter side but has a kick and is very yummy! 8/10 Pulled pork - very good, very juicy and tender! No significant flavor stands out but also not bland at all 8/10 Brisket - unfortunately this one was pretty dry. Maybe other times they're better since our friend mentioned it was drier than normal when they go and it was missing the fat on top too so we got very lean pieces 4/10 Ribs rack - pretty tender and good flavor overall! Not incredibly juicy but not dry too 6/10 Macaroni and cheese - eh 3/10 Garlic Parmesan French fries - nothing special here either 4/10 French fries - also eh I guess the flavoring in the garlic parm did make it better and thus more boring 3/10 Corn bread - prob best corn bread!

I walked in thinking that I would find either a full bar that sold sandwiches on the side or a deli…read morewhich had a small bar section. Its neither. There is a small deli area with one table and the rest of the space is coolers full of cases of cold beer and pop. A unique kind of place. Its right next to a 7-11 which has a blimpys, which may or may not have cheaper beer and pop. On the other side is Fratellis which does have a large sit down area and also sells sandwiches and pizza. It also sells fried chicken and there is a Kentucky Fried Chicken one door down. I don't understand the business plan of this place. Everybody around it is selling the same thing. I had a sandwich, mac & cheese, and a drink. They were very good. The prices were quite reasonable. They also sell breakfast.

The two workers were very friendly and helpful and they even cleaned out our take home Mason jar for us after we done with our shake. It's worth a visit. I also recommended the Farmhouse Exchange next door which sells sandwiches and jarred goods as well as many delicious baked goods. The liquor store on the other side is also good.

We found this place last minute while in town, we called at 430pm and made a reservation for 5pm…read more We were glad we made the reservation because this place filled up quick! We ordered a cream of crab soup ($16) to share, to see if we would like it, and it was pretty good. For our entree we ordered the Steamed Platter for Two (snow crab legs, crabs, shrimp, clams and mussels) ($165) and cole slaw and hush puppies as sides. The platter was huge and delicious: the snow crab legs and the crabs were absolutely delicious, the mussels were great, the shrimp were great and the clams were okay, they didn't have a lot of flavor. The sides, cole slaw and hush puppies, were very good. For drinks we got a Yuengling, a Modelo, and a oink lemonade, all good. For dessert we could't order anything because we were SO FULL, but they have a peanut butter pie in the menu that I hope to try if we are ever back in Thurmont! The ambiance was nice, this is a casual restaurant and the waitresses are very friendly and laid back.

First time visiting Furnace Crab House, and it definitely won't be our last!…read more My family of five stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and had a great experience from start to finish. Our server, Megan, was fantastic - friendly, attentive, and made some great recommendations. The food came out in a timely manner, and everything was delicious. I ordered the Po' Boy sandwich, and wow, it was amazing! Packed with flavor and definitely something I'd order again. Kids had the cheeseburger, friends had the sampler (it was ok), and another had soup that was yummy! One thing that really stood out was when Megan brought out a pitcher of water without us even having to ask. As a family that drinks a lot of water, that thoughtful gesture was greatly appreciated and showed her attention to detail. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Megan deserves a raise! We'll definitely be back.

Fratelli's…read more If you're spending a day outdoors at Cunningham Falls State Park or exploring Catoctin Mountain Park, Fratelli's NY Pizza is exactly the kind of low-key, satisfying stop you hope to find afterward. This place is a true neighborhood gem--no frills, no fuss, just solid comfort Italian food with good portions (and yes, plenty of cheese with pizzas). We came in just before the lunch rush on a Tuesday, fresh off a hike and absolutely starving, and the timing couldn't have been better. The dining area is on the smaller side, but it felt cozy rather than cramped for our group. One standout was the staff--especially the woman who seemed to be doing everything at once: hosting, taking orders, answering phones, and pitching in behind the counter, taking payments etc.. Despite juggling it all, she stayed friendly, patient, and helpful, even offering menu suggestions without missing a beat. It honestly added to the charm of the place. Food-wise, don't expect anything fancy or Instagram-worthy. Presentation isn't the focus here--but flavor and portion size deliver. Everything we ordered was hearty, satisfying, and reasonably priced, which feels like a win these days. Location is super convenient too--right off Route 15 with easy parking out front (next to a gas station), making it an ideal pit stop whether you're heading into town or back home. Bottom line: Fratelli's isn't trying to impress you--it's trying to feed you well, and it succeeds. Perfect post-hike fuel and a spot I'd happily return to on future trips to the area.

If the server saw someone was done with their plate, they cleared. Whether it was their table or not. Checked on us, but not intrusive. Sports on TVs, good 80's music playing, but not so loud you couldn't ralk. Ambiance - love the exposed ceiling and brick. Everything is down to earth and not pretentious. Worth the drive from Frederick!

Considering it does a decent business, kudos although breakfast is my favorite. Tonight the roast beef sandwiches were good. The fries and sodas provided us a boost. Prices are up considerably. Yes inflation is real, but was slightly stunned by how much. It will still be a stop through for us, as the food is flavorful, and again really polite staff here.
