    a blackboard in a restaurant

    Wonderful oasis of good food along the trail. Nothing very fancy here, but they cater to bikers and they do it well. Our food came out quickly and it was hot and delicious. They seem to buy high quality ingredients. There are lots of great snacks that bikers love to grab and go. The bathroom outside is a portable John, but that seems to be offered by the National Park Service. Plenty of parking for bikes.

    Cheesesteak and fries
    Marty S.

    The subs at Whites Ferry are great, and they have a nice general selection of munchies. My cheesesteak was PERFECT. Not much seating, and it can be a bit crowded. They cater more towards the hikers and adventurers in the area. When the ferry was running, it was great to grab a snack while waiting your turn. The parking lot is gravel, so be careful, especially if on two wheels.

    Like the old country stores I grew up with. The sandwiches are awesome! My new Sunday get-away.

    This little place is paradise for hikers, bikers & weekend sightseers. It's funny, several miles down the river people pay many times more for lunch not as good with hardly any view of the water. Here, you get an amazing lunch or breakfast sammie with polite service and a great view of the Potomac in a historic park reserve. My tuna sandwich was absolutely as I wanted & hoped it would be- fresh with not too much Mayo or stuff - just a bit of relish. Generous serving of tuna also. Simple & delish!! Hubby claimed his cheesesteak was "awesome" & devoured it promptly. The bread was great! I wish I ordered the onion rings- they looked amazing. As other Yelpers have pointed out there's lots of places to chill & enjoy your food. All in all a fantastic lunch on the Potomac w a wonderful drive through rural Maryland to get there & back. It's a shame the ferry is closed as of my posting but hopefully that will Change. In the meantime grab a sandwich & take a hike or a bike! Can't wait to come back for the onion rings!

    I'll quote my world traveling pal instead: Great Price for a Half Pound burger And always excellent!! Saying more is saying less.. for just over 10 bucks, you are hooked up, and not disappointed

    It took Whites Ferry closing down to get me out here. Mind you I have taken the ferry before, I just didn't think of stopping in here to experience the deliciousness I did today. We may have ordered practically everything and here's the run down: Whites Ferry burger: simple half pound burger with American cheese. Absolutely 100% delicious. Hands down my favorite burger. Tastes like homemade chargrilled burger that you can get at a backyard cook out from someone who can actually grill and make their own patties. It's juicy, it's not over cooked and pairs well with their crispy fries. Pickle sub: it's a turkey sub in a hollowed out pickle. Is it unique? Yes. It has a ton of turkey in it. Doesn't really come with condiments like mustard or mayo so other than tasting like pickle juice it might be a bit dry. Very keto friendly but maybe not a low sodium option. Reuben-Fantastic corned beef (sliced thinly which I prefer), great dressing and love the sauerkraut. This was a stand out. There are lots of park benches to sit on to enjoy a view of the river and have a picnic. I am not sure what the latest news is on the ferry but even if it doesn't come back I hope this place stays. Will be back for the onion rings!

    Came here because I wanted to take the ferry across to VA but realized that it's been closed for at least a year now..... Wow! I was not expecting this quality of food at an random convenient store. Everything was made to order and the quality of their ingredients is top notch! Love the brioche buns on the burger and the patty was well seasoned. Best thing about this place is the price, very very affordable. Ate our food at a picnic table nearby. Good food and good view, what more can you ask for?

    Cheeseburger is

    Stopped by for a bite to eat in between breaks at the pool. The weather was perfect and the Whites Ferry Store and grill was the perfect spot. We got my daughters hot dogs, my sister a steak and cheese, and I got a cheeseburger. We got some sides including onion rings and Mac and cheese. The hot dog was good and the Mac and cheese was white cheddar with shells. The steak and cheese was also good. The burger was the highlight. Straight up fire! If you come out this way, make the stop while the ferry isn't running. It's peaceful and the cheeseburgers slap! Easy 5 stars!

    Huge fan of this place and have been stopping here for years now for a bite/beer, but they lose a fifth star for not being open on Memorial Day and all the other Mondays that DC feds get off - just seems a huge opportunity loss given all the bike, foot, pedal, paddle, and car traffic this place rightly gets.

    Excellent burgers!
    TJ B.

    Stopped in this twice since the ferry was closed. I have to admit, I did not even know this place was worth stopping in until I saw the recent ferry press. It is excellent! We had burgers both times although I also saw a london broil (?) sandwich that also looked excellent. Staff took our orders and brought it to us outside. You can get great food, beer, burgers, drinks, breakfast sandwiches and the ONION RINGS are the bomb! We regards to Covid, they would regularly count how many people were waiting to order and ask folks to step outside if their count was side. They encouraged anyone who had already ordered to wait outside. This was great and I'll be back with the family for more biking and burgers.

I also tried 2 additional dishes: Old Bay Crab Soup. Bread Pudding for dessert. Old Bay Crab Soup. The menu described it as crab broth with sherry wine, carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, backfin blue crab, Old Bay and scallions. I got it in a to-go cup, and it was served hot, but manageable. I was glad I tried it. For dessert, I got their Bread Pudding, described as baked in a rich custard, served warm over vanilla crème anglaise and finished with a three-berry compote. Since I got it to-go, all those extras were packaged separately from the pudding itself. I ended up having to look at someone else's posted picture of the end-product so that I could figure out what to pour on before what. It helped a lot and that was some good dessert.

I wasn't sure what I wanted from their vast menu, so I asked the guy at the counter what was good. He made several recommendations of what was popular, with the Deniro being the first he mentioned and since I liked spicy, I gave it a try. I noticed their soup of the day was Italian Wedding, so I got a cup of that as well. My wife got her favorite type of sub, a meatball sub. They were quite busy... so many people coming in for pick-ups and lots of diners inside. But even still, we only waited maybe 10 mins for the subs to come out. Prior to them coming out, I got that soup and it was piping hot, but so very flavorful! Highly recommend giving it a try! The subs were on the most amazing bread! It held up perfectly to the cheesesteak style meat and toppings inside without falling apart. In fact, my sandwich wasn't messy at all, which I loved! The flavor was incredible and it had a nice kick to it from the peppers - sooo very good!!! The meatball sub was great too! And, again, the bread held up nicely to the oversized meatballs inside it and the sauce - a great combo!! We'd highly recommend stopping in for a sub... there's a reason their reviews are so high, they're worth it!! We definitely didn't regret the 1-1/2 hour drive up there for lunch!

Puccio's did not disappointed! I had a mortadella sandwich with provolone, lettuce, oil and vinegar. My husband had the Italian sub. The bread was so fresh and soft. Perfect amount of meat, thinly sliced, good O&V ratios too. Cute spot to eat both indoors and out. Indoor seating, plus a little porch area with seating and full outdoor seating.
