Reviews for Old South Mountain Inn in Boonsboro, MD
We haven't been in a while, but we just had the best meal and service. You can get in without a reservation. The food was as... amazing as I remember it. The duck fat fries were worth the trip haha. I had the filet and it was cooked perfectly. I highrecommend. Read more
We love coming to the Old South Mountain Inn. However, the upkeep on the place has gone downhill quite a bit in recent years. We... recently dined there and were shocked by the very musty smell as soon as you enter the restaurant. We were seated in the sunroom and the musty smell was even more prevalent. This truly impacted our evening in a very negative way. The restroom floorsand baseboards were noticeably dirty. As always, the food and service was excellent. I hope the owners put some time, money, andeffort into the upkeep of this wonderful restaurant steeped in great tradition. "Old" should not imply neglect and lack ofattention to the beautiful dining environment. Read more
We went for a nice Christmas lunch. The place is always decorated so nicely for Christmas. I believe you must have a... reservation to diner at this particular moment. Read more
The oldest restaurant in Maryland: 1732 Great food and service. We started with oysters and French onion soup which were very... good. Then we ordered duck and salmon. My wife does not eat butter and they made her order with olive oil instead. Food wastasty and Serving size was good. Our sever (Karen) was very caring and helpful. We are planning to visit again and try otheroptions. I do recommend this restaurant. Read more
Still a nice place to dine, but suffers from a lack of staff and difficulty in getting some food stuff. Reservations are a must,... they were turning away walk-ins as they only had 2 servers. Service was excellent, food was good, but I missed the BeefWellington that I had enjoyed before the pandemic. Read more
We were married here 20 years ago, then celebrated our 20th anniversary here recently. Had not visited at all in those 20 years,... but the charm & hospitality remained! Beautiful historic building. We sat in the sunroom, which is where our wedding receptionwas. Service was great, food was amazing. Definitely worth the trip up South Mountain! Read more
It?s a beautiful setting. It had been recommended by two friends to request the house for dining as it is cozier and beautiful-... we had a reservation but waited for 30 min for our table. We were so excited to try this new restaurant we figured worth thewait ! The manager was incredibly nice about our wait.. However when we were finally sat - i was very disappointed in the roomin the house we were sat- it literally k looked like the overflow back room - not decorated nearly as nice or pretty , it wasalso very cold and drafty - no warmth , cluttered old stuffed dirty toys on stairs -no Christmas music was on- fireplace wasn?tlit because they said it will make it too hot. i did ask about the location they sat us in and then ended up feeling like l wasbeing difficult???? . I know it was busy and I?m sure in the midst of holiday business her perception of me appeared that way.This was to be a very special dinner for our family and l understand the staff was busy and tired but for a pricey restaurant-it wasn?t what l expected. The food was very good and the wait staff was wonderful. Just wish they made that room we were satin look as nice as the others and their wouldn?t have been an issue . And again it was really cold in there. So not the cozybeautiful Christmas Eve dinner we anticipated but the other rooms l took photos of were beautiful and glad other patrons wereable to enjoy a festive evening. I probably won?t go back again due to the lack of proper customer service on my request and howl was made to feel on such an expensive restaurant. Read more
Went for Thanksgiving dinner and everything was absolutely perfect. From the moment we walked in, everyone including the owners... were friendly and went out of their way to make sure we felt welcome, even though it was very busy and they were working hard tokeep up. The turkey dinners, especially the sweet potatoes, were delicious. The seasonal fresh cranberry martini was also tasty.It was our first time there and we hope to be back soon. Thank you to the staff and owners for making our holiday dinner so verynice. Read more
