"We arrived at the Carriage House Restaurant in Emmitsburg, MD on Thursday, 1/2 hour early for our 1 pm reservation. We sat right away. I had a crab cake with potatoes. They were excellent. The food came within 10 minutes. Early on Easter Sunday we stayed there with a family meeting and it took us 1 1/2 hours to accommodate our 1 pm seat. So it's the way to plan when to go. On holidays the Carriage House is packed. During a regular weekday it is not packed and really pleasant. It is about 30 minutes north of Frederick, MD straight from US 15. Every time I was there, the food was fabulous."
