Perfectly fine food. Nothing special. The gazpacho was OK, but bland. I had the Primavera stir-fry, which was good, but also bland, and had much less chicken than I expected. The coffee was bad - not a bad bean, necessarily, but very old and burnt-tasting. There are reasonably-priced options here, but it tends to the more expensive side. read more

This is a great spot for lunch, especially on a warm day where you can sit outside on the patio. I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time as it can get busy on the weekends. The servers are all very polite and I would recommend this place for a nice brunch or even a date night! Also, save time for parking! read more

Hubby and I came in for dinner on Saturday night. This was the first time we've ever been to downtown Frederick for dinner. Parking was kind of a pain. We drove around for a good 20 minute looking for a spot, getting rejected from the closest parking garage--the "full" light clicked on right as we pressed the button for our ticket. We finally found another garage a couple blocks further and it only cost $1 to park which was a pleasant surprise. Neither of us eat red meat or pork and it was really satisfying to go into a restaurant and have the option of ordering anything on the menu. We sat in the front room and it is pretty small, but once we were seated I was comfortable and my worry about being seated next to the bar was completely negated. The staffers are mostly of the tattooed hipster variety, but they were all friendly and helpful. The Orchard has a pretty limited drink menu as well, but we each found libations which we enjoyed. I ordered a bowl of the tomato and basil bisque, which was awesome. The broccoli and potato soup was OK. Not as good as the bisque. I got the Jambalaya and I wasn't overly impressed with that either. I liked that it wasn't overly salty, but beyond that I found the flavors to be a little...bland. My husband got the Rockfish that was on special. He raved about it all night. Overall, dinner was good and I'm sure we'll be back. read more

The Orchard - Lots of fun and eclectic art work here at the Orchard. - Seafood Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I ate here in May after my high school graduation. I'm always on the lookout for good vegetarian restaurants and this was just wonderful. I had the Chinese stir fry with tofu. They give you very large portions so I'd recommend asking for a doggie bag. The atmosphere is lively and the wait staff was very pleasant. If you're looking for casual dining with a great menu, stop by The Orchard. read more

We walked into this place on the whim, our thin pocket no longer in mind because we we're desperate for food, and immediately I loved the atmosphere. The music is soft but the lighting is bright and cheery, so covert thing gives you a nice, friendly feel. We ordered and didn't suffer more than probably 15 minutes for seven of us, which was awesome. We had sandwiches, a salad, entrees, and the special between us an it was all DELICIOUS. Their tomato sauce is bomb she'll good, and my friend loved her veggie salad to pieces. I was too full to eat desert but their lemon bars and coconut cream pie mean we will definitely stop by for another visit. Reasonable for our wallets, though entrees get expensive pretty fast. Worth it for all their vegan, gluten free, and organic food though. read more

So fresh and delicious. Even the dressings are house made. Natural sodas like vanilla cream were absolutely delicious. One of the best Cobb salads I've ever had. The Southwest chicken melt was also wonderful. I'll definitely come back. There are so many interesting menu items to choose from. read more

Quite lovely and surprising! This place has good reviews so I had high hopes, despite the menu items ranging from zucchini parmesan to Japanese stir fry - I mean that's kind of a sacrilege in the foodie world. But it didn't disappoint! Our table got a variety of options, including both the entrees mentioned above and a texmex fried chicken thing. Everyone was really happy and said they would order their meals again! I also got gazpacho which was delightfully refreshing and flavorful! No dessert this time around, but with an excitingly fresh menu and lovely attentive service, we will surly be back to try more! read more

Four stars for very nice waitresses, good ambiance and delicious and very healthy soup/dessert! I ordered the Moroccan stew for the entree - it was a special that night, and I enjoyed it, but I wished the root vegetables were cooked more thoroughly, and it had more spice/flavor than it actually did. Nevertheless, it did hit the spot after a long day outside. I would suggest the stir-fry dishes for lighter meals, and the entrees for heavier dinners. Their menu is so diverse, yet extremely approachable, that it would be a good place for people who haven't eaten a lot of ethnic cuisine to sample some of the flavors of Indonesia or China in some of the stir-fry dishes. The pear crunch dessert was well sized, and had delicious cinnamon-spice flavor to it that complemented the Fall weather outside. Orchard would be a good first-date location, as well as a place to take a family for a well portioned and healthy dinner-out without severely breaking the bank. read more

Finally got to try this spot after seating in my bookmark list for months. I've always been attracted to the Downtown Frederick vibe and although I'm all the way in MoCo it still feels I'm a distance away. We arrived at 8:30 and I was worried they would turn us away due to the proximity to closing time. It was pretty packed when we got in but the hostess said five minutes and he could get is a seat. AWESOME! I just got to say the customer service here was on point tonight...just wanted to clear that because customer service tends to be a deal breaker for me. The food was just as great...it was a lot to choose from a big variety. We started with the spicy-buffalo chicken tenders, I was skeptical at first because how can you mess up spicy chicken tenders!?! BUT these are no oridnary chicken tenders these were magical. Perfectly crispy, spicy and tangy but to top it off was a garlic ranch dip! for dinner I ended up getting the Indonisian Stir Fry with rice noodles, my hubs got the Polynosian Stir fry, and the bro in law got the portobello sandwich. We all enjoyed, the flavors blended well together. I def want to come back because I spotted a lot of other dishes. We couldnt resist dessert...i heard I had to get their cheesecake. Unfortunately due to the end of the day all the cheesecake was gone!! I'm not surprised since they make everything from scratch. That didnt stop us though we ordered the coconut cream pie and apple crumble. Neither disappointed and I completely forgot about the cheesecake! Cant wait to come back and try more here! read more

The Orchard is such a special restaurant... really nothing else like it in Frederick. Love their salmon Indonesian stir fry & the hummus salad. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and happy to say we had a wonderful lunch! Shared the tempura zucchini starter, citrus-saffron scallops, and portobello mushroom melt. The zucchini was good but lacking some spice. Added some pepper and all was good. The scallops were perfect; the saffron sauce complimented the scallops without overwhelming the delicate scallop taste. It comes with pita to mop up the delicious sauce. The portobello mushroom melt flatbread was tasty and just the right tenderness - not mushy but not too firm, either. Service was attentive without feeling smothered. Can't wait to go back to explore more things on the menu like the shrimp & asparagus sauté starter, Polynesian stir fry, and the crispy southwest chicken sandwich. read more

Really good! We went for lunch, they had plenty of options for a good price range, and the service was good. I got the salmon salad. It was really good and the fish was cooked nicely! The rest of my party enjoyed their food too. We got blueberry cheesecake for dessert- it was phenomenal!! Probably the best cheesecake I've ever had. I'd definitely go back! read more

The Orchard never fails to satisfy, which is why it has been a favorite of my family and of local residents for many years. Fresh food, beautifully prepared, healthier than any restaurant I know of, quality original local art on the walls, an unpretentious but elegant environment, a wonderfully convenient location and an outstanding reputation. The stir fries are excellent, but honestly, so is everything else. It is truly hard to go wrong with this wonderful restaurant. Lunch is a bargain. read more

We've been here on girls night out a couple of times (7 people), and had great meals & wonderful times. The atmosphere is pleasant, but not overwhelming. There is a small waiting room, where we've had to spend about 15 - 20 min wait both times. I don't make stir fry, so the choices are a little staggering, but also delish. Low salt is not a requirement for me, but the Tamari sauce on the Japanese stir fry was really too salty for my taste. The servers have always been really helpful, polite & efficient. They have a nice selection of fancy beers. read more

Nice option for a Friday during lent. Kids' food came out 10 minutes before ours. Nice kids meal choices which include fruit and salad on the side. Indonesian stir fry with tofu/rice noodles was good, not great. Definitely fresh but too many peppers. Sauce was lacking some flavor. Curry stir fry with organic brown rice/tofu was tasty. My daughter loved her grilled cheese and the tomato dressing on the salad. Tomato bisque soup was good. Drinks are house made and the lemonade and iced tea were good. We waited for 10 minutes to be greeted by server once we were seated. We ordered immediately and didn't see her again until after we finished eating and asked for check. I had to seek out someone to refill our drinks and bring condiments. Other than service, everything else(atmosphere, food, location) was good. read more

A good vegetarian, organic option on Frederick's main downtown strip.

Excellent. 2 vegetarians (1 GF) n 2 vegans went here last night. Had the salads which were VERY fresh; the garlic dressing was so good you could tell it was home made. Had BBQ bean soup which was very good and then each of us had a stir fry - Indonesian n Szechuan- and those were excellent - fresh and lots of vegetables great sauce. Iced tea was even good perfectly brewed. Sampled the GF coconut pie and it was good. Great place excellent food. Highly recommend. Would Travel 40 mins to Frederick again just for this restaurant. read more

This was the first place to come up on my Yelp app that was two dollar signs or less and veg friendly when I was in Frederick. There were a lot of good-looking things on the menu - any of the stir fries can be vegetarian and there are numerous other options as well. I decided to get the Zucchini Parmigiana, mostly because I love zucchini and being allergic to eggplant and vegetarian makes the 'parmigiana' options usually inaccessible to me. It was delicious. The breading on the zucchini was flavorful and just the right thickness, and the zucchini itself was juicy and still crisp, which I like. The pasta sauce was incredibly creamy. The salad that came with it was yummy too, and the creamy garlic house-made dressing was nice - though a bit too sharp (clearly made with raw garlic, which is fine, it was just strong). I liked it! read more

This is our second trip. The vegetable curry soup is delicious! Great vegetarian options and a nice setting. We can't wait to come back! read more

The orchard exceeded my expectations! I was skeptical going in because I was worried about finding options on the menu that I would enjoy, but the food, atmosphere, and service was amazing. I recommend the shrimp appetizer to start. They were perfectly cooked and the sauce was excellent and unique. You do end up paying more than usual for beverages aside from water, but I will definitely be returning and recommending to friends! read more

I enjoy the Orchard for a number of different reasons. Mainly because the food taste like it was made in a small home kitchen. It taste so delicious, everything I've had there. It makes sense, since they focus on serving local and organic food. I don't feel stuffed when I leave like most eat out restaurant. Instead I feel quite satisfied. The service and staff are excellent here. The only thing I'd love to see would be red meat. They don't serve it. I bet it would be amazing. But I get their reasons. I didn't give them less stars for not serving what I wanted. No, I select the Orchard when I want good and whole food at a reasonable price and can do without red meat for a meal. read more

Took family to eat here for lunch. Food was great and the staff was lovely. Highly recommend the brie and avocado sandwich!

Absolutely loved this place. First of all , food quality is outstanding. It's flavorful, fresh and healthy. Food that makes you feel good. We tried three different stir-fry dishes, Indonesian, Japanese and Polynesian. They all were very good. Also had fruit cobbler for dessert. Amazing!!! The service and atmosphere are great. Can't wait to be back. read more

Took my wife and mother to lunch here recently. I.got the southwest chicken sandwhich was was just ok, but lacked the flavor I would expect from a sandwhich with that kind of name. My wife got a noodle bowl that I thought was also underwhelming. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out either. read more

GREAT FOOD -A LITTLE HIDDEN GEM IN FREDERICK! My friend and I popped in to get a quick bite to eat and ended up having a leisurely lunch...A delightful contemporary, artsy, atmosphere, great food about $9 per dish. They have salads with choices of meat add in's (salmon, grilled chicken, tofu etc.) plus selections of Asian Noodle saute's, and omelets, home made soups and sandwiches . Since I saw they make a Greek Salad, and had a separate spinach salad, I asked if they could make a Greek Omelet. The kitchen said "No problem"! and put out this beautiful Greek Omelet with fresh spinach, Kalamata Olives and Feta Cheese. Yum! The whole wheat roll was awesome and I really enjoyed our server, "Navit" who is absolutely adorable, professional and has the cutest haircut!. I will definitely go back and ask for her as my server each time. The Orchard has a second dining room -also decorated nicely- in the back of the restaurant. Navit told me they can use it for banquets and parties. -Good to keep in mind. -A very nice experience. read more

Every meal I have hear makes me feel healthy and refreshed. The staff is very friendly and attentive. To some palates the food can be a little bland, and the prices may not seem like they match the portions offered. This doesn't really bother me as the low salt content and fresh ingredients are welcome in my usually not so healthy diet. Plus, there are quaint little salt shakers on the table! You gotta try the soup of the day, always delish. I go here on dates and lunches when I am in town and usually eat the fried tofu and hummus sandwich, yum! read more

Great service. Wonderful fresh food. Best place for a fish sandwich, best spicy chicken tenders and beautiful colorful fresh salads the only negative I can think of is the decor could use some updating But it doesn't bother me because everything else is so great read more

Situated in downtown Rockville, The Orchard offers an inventive menu in a wide variety of styles and considerable inventiveness. Among other features is a stir fry of vegetables, rice, a protein (chicken, shrimp or tofu) and assorted flavorings ranging from Mediterranean to Indonesian, Chinese, Indian, Japanese and including other global culinary stops. Together with a chunk-laden gazpacho, it makes for tasty lunch. The restaurant itself is neat, clean and tastefully decorated. read more

A great restaurant if you're looking for tasty & healthy options. The salads are well done and the tomato tamari and wasabi dressings are great. Also it seems as if their stir-fry's are their signature dish. The salmon Thai stir-fry was perfectly done and delicious.

Once a month, I meet with two of my closest friends for dinner in Frederick, the midpoint for where we all live. We always choose a different restaurant and last night we happened to try the Orchard. What a wonderful experience! First, so many vegetarian options! I couldn't decide what to choose but ended up ordering the gazpacho and the Portabella melt. The gazpacho was fresh and delicious. The Portabella melt was out of this world! I could have ordered another it was so good! My friends were very impressed with their meals as well. We all agreed might have to break our rule of a new restaurant when we meet and come back to this place again when we meet again! read more

Stopped in at the Orchard with the intent of only getting appetizers (just from a brief glance at the menu on the window I could tell the selection was good). We ordered two different types of tempura (mushroom and chicken tempura) with really great sauces (creamy garlic mushroom and honey mustard). The staff was friendly and efficient, but even though our waitress was perfectly polite you could tell she wanted us to leave so she could get customers spending more (she actually took my plate while I was still eating off it....). I'll go back if I'm in the area, but please don't take my food! read more
