Monocacy Crossing Restaurant

Great place for Sunday Brunch. The prices are very reasonable. The food is fresh. The drink menu is always according to the season. There’s also a great mocktail menu. The decor is also great.

We had an amazing dinner for our anniversary. We had the crab dip appetizer and the bacon wrapped filets for our entree. Topped off with coconut pound cake. This place is our go to for special occasions and Josie did a phenomenal job as our server.

Lovely restaurant and atmosphere. Our waiter was so attentive. Their coconut pound cake certainly lives up to the hype, so worth it!

I hadn’t heard of this place until recently and decided to check out their food. The place is stunning with an outdoor patio. They have a bar where you can sit and eat as well. I had a limoncello no-jito as my drink and it was delicious! I ordered the filet mignon wrapped in bacon and I was very pleased. The steak was cooked to perfection and very tender. The dishes were very well plated and presented. I very much enjoyed the green beans and mashed potatoes that came with my steak. For dessert I recommend the canoli cheesecake, it was very delicious! I will be coming back!

Wonderful experience!!!
From the service to the food, everything was excellent. We talked about our dinner all week with family and friends. Prices very reasonable compared to other comparable establishments and the portion sizes were generous. Can't wait to go back.

If you’re more about food than photos, don’t miss Monocacy Crossing. Friendly local spot that has a straightforward menu, superb wine selection (at a digestible price point), and good-hearted staff. The food is honest, not too over-the-top, yet perfectly executed. From Burgers to the Cobb Salad or homemade Waffles, no one plate outshines another.

Steak is always executed perfectly here! Always flavorful! We requested some of the grilled pita that comes with the crab dip, and it came out exactly like we wanted, crisped with olive oil and sea salt.

I couldn’t believe I found a bottle of Chateauneuf priced under $100! That was reputable! That can still happen!? Amazing!

The folks at Monocacy are not advertising this spot- and I can see why. It’s a neighborhood staple, and the super-regular guests speak to the hidden gem appeal of this cozy nook. I can’t wait to go again soon! The chop is next on my hit list!

Beautiful outdoor patio. The scallop with rice and snap peas was delicious! The sirloin salad was filling. And crab dips was excellent

This is one of the best country style restaurants. I loved their food and service. A hidden gem. Ordered deviled egg, salmon and roasted chicken. Had a great and unforgettable dinner after a long time. Have to mention about their bread. It was so delicious.

This place is in an unexpected place and is an absolute delight. The food is excellent and the prices are beyond reasonable. Indoor and outdoor seating, Sunday brunch. If you're in the area and want some really tasty dishes, check it out. And of you're not in the area--it's worth a trip.

The food is always carefully prepared and delicious. I had the mahi-mahi and the mussels for an appetizer. The mussels were as good as I have ever had anywhere. The sauce they were in was delicate with plenty of flavor. My girlfriend had a Korean street food appetizer which was extremely flavorful and unique. It is always a treat dining here.

Such a gem and overall great dinning experience just 15 minutes from Frederick! Their food and staff are just amazing truly. We forgot to make a reservation (suggest making one) but they managed to squeeze us in. It’s a family run charming cottage restaurant. Their food presentation is esthetically beautiful. You will leave happy and full! We sat outside on their patio and enjoyed their live music. Emma was our waitress, she was the BEST!! She made us laugh and also was super knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Most importantly you have to leave room for Emma’s Grandmas coconut pound cake for dessert; it’s nothing like you ever tasted I promise you that. It’s so good that the recipe is secretive in their family!

We decided to go out for brunch after doing a 5K and showed up with no reservations. Was seated quickly and found it to be a charming location. I know this building has been many different restaurants over the years but this has to be the best. Our server was great, she has personality, and was just very enjoyable. Our meals and drinks came out quickly and so very good. The meals are fresh made and not just sitting around, my poached eggs were the best I have had in years from a restaurant, real house made corn beef hash was very flavorful and hit the spot. My wife said the quiche was over the top good, and her Cream Brule was some of the best she ever had. We will be adding this into our rotation of bruch spots.

Incredible food, amazing service! Strong drinks and great duck nachos, fabulous Cheese Fritters and superb Lamb chops!

My family and I had dinner here tonight. Drinks came out very quick and all very good. Appetizers came quick as well and were all delicious! Our entrees were all great! The steak filet was probably one of the best I have ever had. Service was perfect! A wonderful dining experience!

The food was amazing. One of if not the best restaurant I’ve eaten at in the area. I got pickled veggies, Korean bbq tacos, goat cheese balls, and scallops. Every flavor seemed crafted to go deliciously well with each other. The sweet, the savory, the spicy. It was all fantastic. The cheese balls were heavy and could have been smaller (8 small instead of 4 large). I was surprised with how much food came with it for the price overall, but especially with the small bites. Comparatively speaking, I felt the pricing was more than fair. The staff was friendly from what I could tell in my limited time there. The place is quaint. There was no cell service for me and the crowd wasn’t my type so I’m glad I got carry-out. I will definitely be back for more food.

Their burgers are amazing. Deviled eggs, Thai chicken bites. Check out their Sunday brunch! Everything is good, especially their pound cake dessert...oh my lord.

I ventured out during phase II during this pandemic for my first restaurant experience in over three months. Monacacy crossing never fails to provide unique dishes that are always prepared to perfection. We were greeted by the hostess who wore a facemask and escorted us to our outdoor seating where we were socially distanced from the others patrons. Our waitress wore a facemask and was very attentive and provided great service. We chose multiple dishes from the snacks and appetizer menu and each had an entree. I had the filet with a whipped blue cheese mousse. If you like blue cheese this is a must. The crab dip was delicious as with all of the other dishes. My wife had the dinner burger with jerk seasoning that was one of the best burgers I've tasted. Thank you Monocacy Crossing for the great dining experience during this difficult time.

Wonderful classic dining experience with a diverse menu. The food is delicious and they have a great wine selection. A top restaurant for Frederick.

Excellent food and service. Extensive wine and cocktail menu, limited beer selection. We sampled a plethora of items on the menu, the tuna, Thai chicken bites, jalapeño & cheddar pretzel bites, buffalo blue cheese empanada. I also had a steak salad and my partner had the pork carnitas. I love a good tasting menu, and this was it. Highly recommend the steak salad, wish the pecans were a tad bit more candied. At the time they had live music and outdoor patio seating. We had great conversation with the server, although she was a bit in the weeds she provided excellent service.

Great meal, had the seared ahi tuna with wasabi whipped potatoes and sugar snap peas. Everything was delicious. Like the vibe in the bar area especially. Will return soon.
