In the theater district of Frederick. Good food, service, cozy atmosphere. Good place for those with gluten free or vegan diets but also good for those without dietary restrictions. Yum!

I went this place for the weekends dinner with my friends. They offer very healthy choices for vegetarian or pescatarian. No beef or pork options. The services were great but not very fast. I recommend if you are vegetarian or looking for healthy options

Cute little restaurant, friendly staff and food are delicious, best salad I ever have. Thai shrimp salad. Will come back again when I'm in town next time.

It's always hard to decide what to order here, so we keep going back. We enjoy all their vegetarian offerings, they do stir fry very well. Service is generally very good but they can get busy, especially when there is a big event in downtown Frederick. Easy parking in a city garage just half a block away.

A very solid vegetarian-friendly choice in downtown Frederick! I stopped in for lunch with my wife the other day while we were visiting. Staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient. Even though it was busy, the wait for a table was short and the food appeared at our table instantly. As for the food, it was SO nice to get entrees with REAL veggies in them--rather than the "value engineered" dishes that we see at so many of the large restaurant groups. My salad was full of cucumbers, carrots, pickled onions, leafy greens, chickpeas and feta cheese. I added on some grilled chicken for my protein. It was a bit dry and could've used a little more seasoning, but I'm nitpicking here. My wife, the pescatarian in our family, got the Indonesian stir-fry with blackened salmon. Delicious!! She enjoyed it thoroughly, as did I! She was kind enough to share some with me. The dining room decor was bright and colorful. I enjoyed the art on the walls and everything went together nicely. It was SO nice to see that a LOT of care went into all the details of the space. Looking forward to eating here again when we return to town.

My favorite restaurant in Frederick, maybe my favorite overall. The menu skews vegetarian but there are plenty of meat dishes, too. The food is always fresh and delicious. In all the years I've been going to The Orchard (although not frequently enough!), I've not one time ever had a less-than-stellar meal. The dining room is lovely, the staff are friendly, and there is some outdoor seating. I can't recommend The Orchard hard highly enough.

Spouse and I had a lovely Saturday during Memorial Day weekend picking strawberries and visiting wineries in the Mt. Airy area. Our last winery was only 15-20 minutes from downtown Frederick, and I had planned to eat lunch at a fancy restaurant, only to find them closed between lunch and dinner service (it was around 3 pm). We walked down lovely Market Street and looked at several open restaurants. We saw lots of people at The Orchard and took one look at the menu and we both blurted out "Wow! This is for us!" Lots of great healthy choices: salads, stir fries, sandwiches, bowls. We both ordered the special of the day: Bucatini scampi with blackened mahi mahi. We got an Afghan special appetizer called Bolani which is a thin flatbread (not made in house, sourced from an Afghan grocery) with mashed potato and spices, then fried and served with a cilantro spice sauce. The Bolani were amazing, so flavorful, comfort food even though I know little about Afghan cooking. The scampi dish was delicious and flavorful. I'm craving it even now writing! Amazing menu, so many choices. Combination of American and international food, so many choices, all delicious and healthy. Service was good despite being crowded. We spoke with the owner, such a nice guy! He bought the restaurant several years ago, and he added Afghan dishes. We wish him continued success. We live in Montgomery County and typically go to Bethesda or DC to dine, but this makes us think of coming north to Frederick just to eat here! Terrific location. Interior space was lively, lots of great art. Overall ratings: Location, atmosphere, food, service, value, all 5's across the board. Highly recommended!

I popped in with a friend over the weekend just craving a salad and didn't expect the salad of my dreams! This salad literally haunts me, it's so good. I got the Greek salad with salmon and the creamy garlic dressing. The salmon was cooked to absolute perfection, the garlic dressing wasn't overpowering and complimented it amazingly, and the portion was just right. Also we got the herbal tea which was just amazing (my friend is not a tea person and even he liked it!). My friend got a chicken sandwich that he devoured and said he would definitely order again (specifically said the honey mustard (?) dressing was fantastic). I can't wait to get back up to Frederick and get this amazing salad again!!! PS PLEASE open up a place in Arlington!!!
