I recently hosted a special event, and Chef Audi came to my home to prepare an incredible…read morefour‑course Mexican dinner for my guests, including thoughtful, delicious options for both vegan and lactose‑intolerant diners. Every dish was outstanding, with layers of flavor that came together beautifully. Chef Audi planned the entire menu in advance and even tested it the day before to ensure everything complemented each other perfectly. My guests raved about the food. And when the evening wrapped up, my kitchen looked exactly as it had before she arrived, spotless. If you want to treat your guests (and yourself) to something truly special, hire Chef Audi from Frederick Social. She'll handle the planning, cooking, serving, and cleanup so you can relax and actually enjoy your time with the people you invited.

The owners Meaghan and Shane opened this in 2022 on York road and it's just a delightful experience. I don't make it out here very often but it's a great place to eat food they feels good and to support a local business. The prices aren't cheap but it's worth it for the quality. My favorite is the super chicken (I always order this) and for a drink the house paw paw soda it's made with the native fruit paw paw (do research on this it's amazing) that they make into a vinegary shrub with soda water. It's so yummy. The quality shines here as well as the light airy high ceiling interior and the plants. This is a must visit and honestly a little slept on. Lisa was my server on my most recent visit and she was so sweet. She told me her wife works here and she was filling in as a neighbor and a patron! We love that.

Hex Ferments makes incredible kombucha and serves equally delicious healthy fresh food in their…read morerestaurant. We discovered their kombucha at a farmers market in Washington, DC and liked it enough to make another trip from NYC to Baltimore, so we could try all the flavors. They are serving "real" kombucha - complete with all-natural effervescence - and every flavor truly impressed us. They range from superfood-forward classics like ginger and turmeric to fun seasonals like smoked pineapple to mind-blowing botanical mashups like hibiscus/mint/linden flower. They described them as "guzzleable," and let's just say we guzzled! They have an equally impressive lineup of house fermented veggies that are all unique. We loved the extra spicy kimchi and the green tomato ferment. Their food menu is a colorful and creative celebration of all their homemade and locally sourced fermented and other food items. There were plenty of vegan options. We loved the Hex Powerhouse sandwich (packed with veggies!!) and the mushroom kimchi sandwich, both served on their homemade focaccia. We really loved the food and drinks and the great service from Hunter who walked us through the menu, kept our glasses full, and even let us try some off-menu ferments. We can't wait to come back!

I only visited once on April 26, 2023. I had work travel to Chambersburg and decided to take the scenic way back into MD. I stopped at Brio for a Brew. Staff was super friendly, and the coffee was excellent. The place is cute in a historic building in downtown Waynesboro. I parked in the front, but I realized there was a back lot without meters. I remember I didn't pay the meter, watched my car like a hawk while waiting for my coffee, and left. After I left, while in Waynesboro, I had to stop at the world famous Antietam Diary; see my 5-star review of them from June 2018. I also still get their emails to this day as I apparently signed up for their email or when I paid with credit card, it had my email info. Unfortunately, I haven't been back up this way since that nice April 2023 day to use the 10% off email or whatever promotion.

Visited Harpers Ferry Brewing recently and honestly the views alone make this place worth the trip…read more The brewery sits up on a hill overlooking the mountains and river, and the outdoor seating area is huge with fire pits, picnic tables, and plenty of space to relax. Perfect spot for a weekend afternoon with friends. We ordered a flight of beers, the Mountain Juice IPA, the Hummingbird Hefeweizen, and their Wicked Pumpkin Ale. Also tried the giant pretzel with beer cheese -- both hit the spot after a couple drinks. The beers were fresh, flavorful, and there was a good variety for everyone in our group. The atmosphere had a fun laid-back vibe with live music playing outside. Definitely recommend getting there before sunset because the scenery is incredible.

Located in a nondescript business park in NW Bmore, most of their business is with larger companies.
