Best Lunch Restaurants in Shepherdstown

Nestled in the charming and historic town of Boonsboro, Maryland, Branded Chophouse is a gem that offers a dining experience as memorable as its picturesque surroundings. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by an atmosphere of elegance, with beautiful lighting and a thoughtfully designed interior that sets the tone for a wonderful meal. We began with a dozen oysters, which were truly exceptional--some of the best we've ever had. The pickled brunoise'd red onions and what seemed to be a homemade cocktail sauce elevated this classic appetizer to new heights. While the oysters rested on a bed of seasoned pink salt that felt slightly indulgent, I couldn't help but repurpose some of that salt throughout the meal--it was that good! The salt-rimmed margaritas were another highlight, boasting a perfect balance of flavors. My only wish was for a slightly larger serving for the price. Moving on to the main courses, the Branded Cowboy Burger was a standout. Cooked to perfection, it was bursting with flavor and undoubtedly one of the best burgers we've enjoyed in recent memory. Paired with truffle fries, the meal was decadent. Though the fries were a touch soft--likely due to the truffle oil--their flavor more than made up for it. The Prime Rib was another hit, tender and flavorful, complemented beautifully by a perfectly seasoned Au Jus and a tangy horseradish sauce. If I had to nitpick I'd just request that the plates be a bit bigger so I can move things around to include the sauces and sides. We ended the meal with the Dulce de Leche dessert, which was simply fantastic--a sweet and satisfying conclusion to a delightful dining experience. The service was equally impressive. Our server, Brock, was attentive, personable, and ensured every aspect of our meal was top-notch. In summary, Branded Chophouse offers a fantastic culinary experience in a beautiful setting. With high-quality food, an inviting atmosphere, and stellar service, it's a spot we'd highly r

Everything was yummy. The shrimp, the brussel sprouts were probably the best I’ve ever had!

The initial response as a whole was this looks quiet and not so active. Once outside the vehicle and actually checked the place out it came to like right in front of me. The tasting was nice and exposed me to some new wines. The food truck that was there, on Saturday 26th of October, was satisfying to the palate. The musical artist that performed was like a layer of warmth on a chilled evening. She sung some oldies but goodies and kept use entertained for a few hours. The main thing that stood out to me was there were no fire pits to keep warm on a cold afternoon. As a whole I enjoyed my first experience at this establishment I plan to return with more friends.
