Family Restaurants near Thurmont, MD

“We have gone a few times and always the food was amazing. My son always ask to go here. We went yesterday and the food was amazing as always except for one of the desserts that was very watery. The only thing we didn’t like was the service this time. The lady seems upset and didn’t seem to want to serve us. I even asked for which pie flavor was the best and her response was I don’t eat pie. Very sad this happened because its an amazing place. They just loss a customer.“

“First time going to this Mountain Gate. The food and desserts are outstanding country cooked food... Excellent service (thank you Madison)and I totally recommend this restaurant for personal or families. 👍“

“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.“

“Loved it! We were there for dinner only - food & service was exceptional. We loved it that Abe Lincoln made an appearance, gave his Gettysburg address, & took photos. Thank you for a great evening??

Food and drinks: Exceptional food!“

“Great unique bar/ diner. Great service so friendly, yummy food, the best fresh squeezed Orange Crush’s & the price is right! This will definitely be the spot to stop when we go to Mount soccer games!“

“Ann was our waitress, she brought us our drinks, took our order and never saw her again
(someone else brought us our food). Not one time did she ask if we needed anything or refill our drinks. When she did give us our check which we had to ask for, she said she would be right back, 10 minutes later she finally came back after my husband waved at her. Resturant was mildly busy but had plenty of waitresses.
Besides the service everything else was great.“

“Love..love this diner. we eat there regularly. Fast, hot meals...if you go away hungry it's your fault..This is our go to place on Holidays and we just had my husband's surprise Birthday Dinner there for 30 people. Waitresses are awesome...fun and attentive. Thank you Main Street for helping make this night special for him. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Exactly what I was looking for. Drove by the other day and glad I came back. Hubby liked the chili so much he got two.. I prefer mine with beans and a lil less salt. We both loved the burnt ends (ate them before photos sorry) and the Mac and cheese was sooo cheesy! Their slogan was good food ain’t cheap / cheap food ain’t good but I thought the prices were a little high but hopefully the meat is locally sourced ?. Service was good, bathroom was ehh. As far as the atmosphere.. I did like the variety of seating and cute candy/ claw machines. Taking home the 3 meat combo so I’ll be back an update.

Update 7/15:
The chili gave some serious heart burn lol! But the brisket... yum!!! Tender with a decent mix of meat/fat. The pulled pork was good too, and the portions were generous. oh and the greens were done right, with teeny tiny carrots and potatoes. Burnt ends were the best though. Will be back!“
