20220529 came by here for lunch. The pulled pork and chicken were good. Corn pudding was OK, and crab and corn soup was soooo salty. The cashier wasn't friendly. At checkout, im.not sure why they changed the %tip to dollar tip. I spent $41 and tipping option was $1, $2 and $4. Who gives a $1 or $2 tip for a $41 meal? I ended up tipping in cash. I prefer the tip by %... 10%, 15%, 17%, 20%. I usually do 20% even at carryout, especially during this exaggerated pandemic that ruined so many lives and small business.I am really happy that I decided to stop by this market/restaurant. I love all the unique merchandise including jelly, jam, salsa, coffee, pasta, ice cream, beer, draft beer, wine, gifts, snacks... Most, and f not all, are local. I picked up some items, and the mustard, The Pig Cave Black Mustard, is so good... a little spicy and has white wine in the ingredient. The restaurant food is amazing! The brisket sandwich came in these delicious jalapeno buns. The corn pudding was so yummy! The crab soup had so much chunky veggies in it that it looked and tasted healthy. I will definitely come back next time I am in the area.

We stopped here for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon. I was mesmerized by the country store items. The brisket sandwiches were delicious and we shared a side of fries. They had some local draft beers. Great experience overall!

good food . a bit pricey . outside tables and dog friendly place with beautiful scenery

Excellent food in a excellent location. Sit out on the patio and enjoy the mountains in the background. Highly recommend ?

Have been meaning to try this place for some time now. We stopped here for lunch before visiting some local breweries and vineyards. THe staff was very nice and the food was great. I am a sourdough fan and the grilled ham & cheese on sourdough was very good - toasted just right. The selections of local beer and wine were also good. Interesting shop was there as well, found some mead to try (wine made from honey). It was a little busy at lunch time on Saturday and there was not a lot of tables indoors. Plenty of seating outside but it was a little to cold and windy today. Finally, there was a geocache onsite - so that was a pleasant surprise.

We wanted to try something different and found this on maps. The food was great. Came out quick and fresh. Everyone really enjoyed what they got. From pulled pork, double cheeseburgers, corn pudding and mac n cheese. Would definitely recommend.

service was great. The food is outstanding. I'm sure I will go there again.

I had originally tagged this at 5 stars. Every time I went from 2017-2019, it was amazing. Since 2020 it has really started going downhill. Today, I went back for the first time in months. First, I ordered fries. They used to be hand-cut and delicious. They've switched to frozen school lunch style fries without taking any $ off the price. So, I just asked for the Mac and cheese instead which was honestly my favorite Mac and cheese their was. It was barely edible. Tasted chemically. I will not return. Sad, downhill transition. They won't be around long with these changes...

Last year we had ordered sides and a turkey from a well known grocery store in the Frederick, MD area. It was a lot of work to put together, the oven temps and cook times varied for each dish and they didn't even taste that great.

Good food , was fantastic! Local beers and wines . Very nice place . Highly recommended ??
