Where to Eat Breakfast in Deep Creek

Published: January 17, 2020

Breakfast! It's been a topic of conversation between myself and my FTL followers lately. Where can we get more than just good coffee? Which diner do you recommend? Is Perkins the only place at the lake where you can get a big breakfast? I didn't realize there was so much wonderment behind breakfast in Garrett […]

Have you ever noticed the tables and chairs at @moonshadowrestaurant !? Mismatched, colorful, eclectic, retro…I’ve always admired them and the character they bring! 🥰🤩 #localinatouristtown #fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #marylandgetaway

DRINKS: Have you been to @shortstorybrewing_dcl yet? My friend @terahcrawford_dclrealty and I were there on Sunday and met a couple who was vacationing at the lake for a few days. For one, it was a first visit to Deep Creek and for both, it was a first visit to Short Story. We talked about the conditions at @wispresort and gave a few restaurant recommendations. Short Story is a great spot for chatting, beers and cheers! #localinatouristtown #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #fortheloveofdeepcreek #marylandgetaway

COFFEE: We’ve got a new shop in town! @moonshadowrestaurant has decided to turn the front part of their building space into a cafe! Natalie and I visited yesterday and enjoyed coffee, hot chocolate and a muffin…accompanied by a chat with our friend and local artist @collendubose 😎 I’m so happy that we have a place where we can sit inside and drink coffee again! 🥰 #localinatouristtown #fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #marylandgetaway #marylandcoffee

Not sure if I’m happy or upset by these happy trees. Such a lacking of snow this winter and BOOM it finally shows up again! #tundraofmaryland I shake my head but also, I, we, should know better. 🤪❄️🥶 #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #localinatouristtown #fortheloveofdeepcreek #marylandgetaway

SHOUTOUT to @wildomfarm for a wonderfully done brunch event at @friendsvillepublichouse on Sunday. It was a “kitchen takeover” event featuring meats from Wildom, along with other locally grown ingredients. People gathering, conversations over coffee and drinks, indulging in a unique 4-course meal, and seeing one of our own @jufriend take on something new and big…just pure goodness! Wildom Farm has a couple of events coming up this month so be sure to go check out what they’re sharing! #fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #localinatouristtown #mountainliving #lifeinthemountains #knowyourfarmer #marylandfarms #mountainmaryland

FOOD, DRINK & FUN: At @deepcreek.funzone at the lake! And if you’re here during the colder months, they’ve got a locals night happening on Thursdays with pizza, beer and play specials! If you’re coming with a group or kiddos, I highly recommend a stop. 🎉😎 #localinatouristtown #fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #marylandgetaway

INSIDER TIP: It’s DUNK weekend!!! @dunk_md is here and it’s a busier time at the lake…especially at @honihonibar and @deepcreekuno ! The Cool Schools Dunk was this afternoon and traffic on 219 was backed up, so I imagine it’ll be even worse tomorrow when the big dunk happens…consider yourself warned! And did I read correctly that 700 dunkers are participating tomorrow!? WHOA! Lots of money being raised for Maryland Special Olympics! #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #localinatouristtown

Last night on the snow tubing hill…lots of brown and lots of mud, but man, we had fun! The runs weren’t super fast, but they were plenty fast to get us to the end of the runs. We also were able to link tubes and go as groups because it wasn’t icy or too speedy. I was told Wisp will be making snow tomorrow and that these tubing conditions will be improved for the weekend. Who still has tubing plans for this winter!? #fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #marylandgetaway
