Easter Brunch Anyone?

Frederick Maryland is a Foodie Paradise. There are so many great restaurants to choose from, many non-chain establishments for a variety of tastes. With Easter coming up soon, I went in search of a good place for Easter Brunch. Several of these restaurants regularly serve Sunday brunch so some of these are not particularly “Easter Brunch”.

Note: MAKE RESERVATIONS!

Here is what I discovered:

Dutch’s Daughter Restaurant. High on many lists, including the brunch. Dutch’s is know for their crab cakes and their seafood in general, including Maryland cream of crab soup, crab dip and a crab omelet. Other buffet options are carved prime rib, baked ham, blackened honey glazed salmon, Dutch’s chicken, vegetarian pasta, creamed chipped beef and biscuits, bacon and sausage. Brunch gets lots of stars on every count.
Isabella’s. The Saturday and Sunday brunch has several creative types of “Benedicts”: classic, chorizo, sojouk, and cured salmon, and all of the other brunchy eggs too.
Cafe Nola . Nola’s breakfast menu is one of the best, imo. They have great reviews for their brunch. Lox Benedict, Italian Benedict, and Vegan Scramble are unique to Nola.
The Wine Kitchen. Our favorite restaurant. Karen: I love the Maryland Benedict. Chris: the Steak and Eggs.
JoJo’s Restaurant & Tap House has a great brunch. The bar has happy hour prices all day Sunday. The Benedicts: Classic, Crab, and Southwest Steak. (Can you tell I have a thing for Benedict?)
Brewer’s Alley. They have a Grand Easter Buffet, it’s appropriately named. The have Herb Crusted Leg of Lamb, Prime Rib and Spiral Ham, and a Cold Table and Hot Table. It’s a lot of food.
Thatcher and Rye. Sat-Sun 12:00 pm–3:00 pm. 240.332.3186
Silver Diner serves a wonderful brunch every day. Amazing Omelettes. Fresh and local.
Vintage in New Market. Vintage is reopening under new management. Sunday Brunch from 10 am to 3 pm. High reviews for their shrimp and grits. (We went for Valentine’s Day Dinner and it was fantastic!)
The Braddock Inn. Here’s the menu from their Facebook Page: *Reservations Required*
Wilcom’s Inn has a “bottomless brunch” menu that’s extensive, and mimosas, bloody marys, and sangria. (One of my brother’s favorites)
Monocacy Crossing. Well known for their Sunday Brunch. It’s not particularly an Easter brunch, but a good one, nevertheless.
The Comus Inn at Sugarloaf Mountain. An old favorite of many. I recommend the Chesapeake Eggs Benedict. yum!
