50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Ijamsville

“Sunday was my 1st time eating here although my friends have been before. We ordered half slab platter small side of P/salad side corn bread and added on brisket, $38+tax. when I get home and I see the saddest meatless sticks that they call ribs. Each with more bone than meat and highly disappointing!! we added the $8 brisket which was also very small. $40 should go much further and this is a rip off!! This place must give the full-sized ribs to the dine-in guests because you get screwed when taking out! if I checked my food before paying I wouldn't have paid. u would have gone to Buffalo wild wings next door!! very disappointed“

“Came here twice while in town for Thanksgiving. Our first experience was bad. We ate in the restaurant and while we had a great waitress, our appetizers came out after our meals. I heard the waitress asking over and over again where our appetizers were. It was a frustrating experience. However, the pizza was outstanding on both our in-person dining and our carry-out. The front staff and waitress were all super sweet. I think the problem must have been with the cooking staff.“

“Long post ahead, warning! I walked in around 9 pm and the hostess didn't bat an eye at my dining alone, and didn't say anything about it, which I appreciate. I was seated right away with no problems and immediately got a chance to look over the menu. I will admit, it took a little bit longer than expected for my waiter to come over, but as a lone diner I sort of expected that. I looked like I was waiting for someone, I'm sure. The look and feel of the place was very upscale, but they didn't have any problems with me walking in wearing a nerdy t-shirt. I was seated in this cute little booth for 2 with curtains on the side so, if I wanted a more private dinner, I could have it. It was a cute touch! The restaurant also offered patio dining and since it's by the creek, that would have been a downright charming experience were it not the usual Maryland summer. Despite having a bar, the restaurant was respectably quiet and low-key, making it an easy dining experience. I wasn't in the mood for something wild, and this place really hit the nail on the head. My first waiter Kevin, however, was the picture of polite helpfulness. He answered all of my questions, made some wonderful suggestions, and was incredibly pleasant to talk to. I was delighted to find out that this place takes part in DC restaurant week, so I was able to take part in that promotion. Under a suggestion from Kevin, I ordered a glass of their moscato (I wanted something light and sweet), and the wine was so good I brought home a whole bottle. Not really on them, but it does reflect their excellent selection. Dinner itself was delicious. The red pepper soup was refreshing and flavorful, without being too filling. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and was flavored in the perfect way to make the actual flavor of the meat shine. The potatoes were both light and fluffy, but also had the little chunks of potato that I prefer in my mashed. The best part was desert. About halfway through my appetizer, Kevin introduced my other waiter, Maddy, who took over after he went home. She was as much of a delight as he was, and made possibly the best recommendation of the night. Desert was this blackberry tart that I did not have room for but could not put down. Gooey and crumbly all at once, with a warm center that was almost caramel-y even though it was fruit based. Topped with a light cream to balance it all out, it was absolutely delicious. I will be thinking of that tart all day tomorrow. The prices on the menu were a little high, but I wouldn't go so far to say they were unreasonable. If I had wanted a cheaper option, I could have gone to any chain restaurant ever. In the grand scheme of downtown Frederick, with it's many small businesses and one of a kind dining experiences, I think this was reasonable. For reference, a lot of meals were between $20 and $30, but a good steak is almost always $30+. Despite the price, I had an exceptional dining experience, and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for upscale dining, without the upscale requirements.“

“We went to Motherland restaurant today for the first time. Sabina prepares food that tastes great. Both vegan and meat and fish dishes are available. Herbs and spices and healthy oils create a potpourri of wonderful flavors and create a satisfying meal without the use of salt. Vegans now have a new choice for flavorful meals.“

“We used to frequent this restaurant often when we lived in Frederick. We returned for my 70th birthday dinner. As usual, Rich did an outstanding job, not only with our meals but also with meals designed for our vegan/vegetarian children. Trish, our server , was also excellent. Just sorry that we didn’t get to see Kelly. You must go to this restaurant!! Pam Keipper“

“This place is a hidden gem! The owner is the one who took care of my order and he was the sweetest man! He recommended the lamb schwarma and the falafel. And they were incredible!! Seriously the best Mediterranean food I’ve had! I really appreciated that the owner explained that he makes all of the food to order and nothing it “ready to eat” because he wants to provide the freshest, best food to his customers. There’s a great shared courtyard area right out front with picnic tables. Highly recommend! And the owner gave me a taste of the baklava - it is sooooo good!“

The server was a blast, place was rocking, pretty much everyone was eating crabs. Will definitely be back with a big group!“

“It's kinda like Cheers everyone knows your name or at least by the end of the night everyone will. It's a place that is relaxing and engaging at the same time. Oh. The beer is pretty good too. It's fresh, it's varied, and has something for everyone. It's ruined a few people's tastes though...they totally swore off miller or Budweiser after trying the farmhouse ale.“

“I’ve never had a bad time!!“

“Went to the olney location for the first time for my dad’s birthday yesterday. This place is awesome. The ribs are some of the best I’ve ever had. Ton of meat and it falls right off the bone. We had 3 racks between 4 adults and 3 kids and I’m eating leftovers tonight again. I give it a 5 out of 5 . Go here and eat!!!“

“Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and amazing food! Best Asian food around!“

“I have been going to Tom and Rays since the old location. What makes them stand out is the cost conscience menu, fresh tasting food, and a staff mostly local high school kids that are professional with can do attitude. Right now I’m raving about something as simple as stewed tomatoes as a complementary side dish. Their breakfast foods including creamed chipped beef fresh. Their lunch and dinner foods bring you back, especially the open faced beef sandwich with mash potatoes and gravy, to a simpler time. Check out their menu and ask them about their pies.“

“Fajita mixta es riquísima“

“great food and service. never been disappointed“

“Our high school volleyball team banquet was held at Pistarro’s in the Amalfi room. Donna and the rest of the staff was amazing. They had the room set up beautifully and the food was great. Thank you for making it easy to celebrate our athletes!“

“Highly recommend the quesadilla and fajita platter. Great service and great food like always!“

“Stopped in for a beer while I waited for a carry out order as it had been a while since I had been there. I was blown away. I’ve been to all the Frederick breweries and Midnight deserves to be in the best of Frederick conversation.“

“As four guests visiting for the first time, we all thought the food was great. Service was slow to order a beer and desert was almost cancelled because of time and the glazing did not arrive with one of the deserts and getting a side cup never arrived. The waitress was new and very helpful and will get better with experience. The only disappointment was their Military Discount? They only allow 10% for "active" Military making one feel that veterans just don't qualify? And the 10% you receive is only on the members main meal. So for a $60.61 meal the discount was $1.49? I give the discount I receive back to the wait staff and left a $15.00 tip.“

“Lazy fish has the best sushi in town“

“My husband and I hosted a group of 30 at Mariachi. The staff was wonderful to work with, attentive, and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back! Thank you for making our visit to see our son and his tennis team a great experience. We enjoyed it so much.“

“Quality ingredients and the attention to detail at the Pham are wonderful! The whole family loves this place.“

“This recommendation is for the brewery ONLY!!!! All the beers I tried were delicious but eat before you go because the food from Brewer's Alley is overpriced garbage.“

“My husband and I eat here every Tuesday after getting groceries. The people are friendly and the food is awesome.Highly recommend.“

“Pleasant environment, food was worth the wait. I got Egusi and fufu. The fufu was cooked perfectly. Going back again this week.“
