Best Healthy Restaurants in Frederick

Absolutely delicious!! We have never had a bad meal at Monocacy!!

The 3 courses option in the bar area is plentiful and well-priced.

Our recent visit to Founding Farmers was exceptional, offering a delightful culinary journey that pleased the entire family. We began by sharing the Buttermilk Biscuits and a medley of autumn vegetables. The biscuits were impressively large, featuring a crunchy exterior that gave way to a soft, fluffy center—truly a perfect start to our meal. For the main courses: •Youngest Son: Opted for the Sirloin Chili, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The chili boasted a balanced spiciness, making it both flavorful and approachable. •Mom: Chose the Goat Cheese Ravioli & Chicken Cutlet, a dish accompanied by butternut squash purée and pecan praline butter. The combination was exquisite, earning a solid 9.7/10 for its harmonious flavors and presentation.  •Dad: Selected the Farmhouse Platter, which included fried chicken, BBQ pork ribs, baby cheeseburgers, street corn, and coleslaw. He cleared his plate, a testament to the meal’s excellence.  •Teenager: Enjoyed the Meatloaf & Gravy, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. He expressed high praise for the dish, noting its rich flavor and satisfying portion.  Even the house-made sodas were delightful, adding a refreshing touch to our dining experience. Our waiter, Anthony, provided outstanding service, enhancing our meal with his attentive and friendly demeanor. The food was so impressive that we decided to purchase the restaurant’s cookbook to recreate some of the dishes at home. Founding Farmers offers a warm atmosphere, exceptional service, and delectable farm-to-table cuisine. It’s a dining experience we highly recommend and look forward to repeating.

The Tasting Room is always a great culinary experience! My husband opted for the ribeye steak as opposed to the filet this time and regretted it—not that the ribeye was bad in any way, the filet is just perfection. My halibut was divine, as was our crab toast appetizer, and the lobster mashed potatoes are a must! The service is excellent, and the noise level was especially tolerable this time (we went early—5:15–so that definitely played into it). A word of caution for those who are noise sensitive: with the high tin ceilings, glass surfaces, and the tiled floors, it can get intolerably loud, especially so the later you go. Overall, the Tasting Room provides a wonderful dining experience!

Brady was our server, and he did a great job. He knew the menu well and his recommendations were great. The Asian chicken salad tasted really good. It had the right amount of ingredients and everything was fresh. The chicken club sandwich looked and tasted really good. The buttered sourdough bread took it over the top. My husband and I ordered 2 items we never had before and loved both. Great experience with food, service, and server Brady!
