                                                          A must try is the deviled eggs with crab! The mussels are great. Make sure you have bread so the sauce doesn’t go to waste. Steak in the omelette needed seasoning, but we couldn’t complain about the amount inside. Perfect location between Frederick and Urbana.

                                                          Our meals were delicious, flavorful, generous portions and beautifully presented. We started with the pecan crusted goat cheese fritters which are our favorite. They are perfectly cooked, the cheese is delicious and the compote perfectly balances the flavor. The rockfish special exceeded my expectations. The fish was flaky and cooked perfectly, the soba noodles and stir fried vegetables were an excellent accompaniment. The pork chop with scalloped potatoes and green beans is my husbands go to dish. A generous size pork chop cooked perfectly. Chad is a friendly, personable, efficient and knowledgeable server. We enjoy dining at Monocacy Crossing and highly recommend it!
