One Quality Restaurant (And It's Family Owned)

Today my wife and I had occassion to be in Hancock, Maryland. It was lunch time so we decided to stop at a family owned restaurant called Weavers. This place was great! The service was good considering they were very busy and our waitress had another waitress she was training in tow.

This restaurant cares, not only about the taste of the food, but also about the appearance. Every plate we saw brought out from the kitchen looked like something from a magazine. I ordered crab cakes which they get from Phillips seafood. Phillips is known as the best seafood place in Maryland. The crab cakes were cooked to perfection and had very little filler in them. They were the best crab cakes I have ever eaten. I ordered baby carrots and mashed potatoes and gravy as sides and, again, cooked to perfection. All of the portions were sizable as well. Even the coffee was fresh brewed and it was a large cup.

My wife ordered a salad, and a hot turkey sandwich. Real turkey on homemade bread with baked potato. Even the dinner roll I got with my meal was homemade, large, and delicious with melted butter on top.

They have their own bakery right in the restaurant where you can buy cookies, cakes, rolls, buns, pies, etc.

For desert my wife ordered a fudge brownie with peanut butter icing and I ordered a piece of carmel apple nut pie with vanilla ice cream. I had never had apple pie with nuts in it before but it was fantastic. Considering the sizes of the portions, the appearance of the food, the service, and most of all the taste, the prices were reasonable.

So, if you happen to find yourself in Hancock, Maryland and hungry. Weavers Restaurant on Main Street is definitely worth the stop. You will not be disappointed.
