“Amazing local spot run by amazing people! They are a true local farm to table restaurant. Darryl and Haeli are amazing people and grow the freshest microgreens which you can see from inside the restaurant. Plenty of amazing selection of beers.
If you want good fresh food that's literally grown right next to you come here!”

“The place to see and be seen. Possibly overtaken any other place in Garrett County for the best cocktails. Don’t delay, make your way to this hip new locale and enjoy their micro green salads and other fine fare!”
“Grabbed a super salad and a faux-jito for lunch. The atmosphere in the restaurant is super cool! Something different to admire everywhere you look. The salad with the lemon agave dressing was perfect! Fresh, delicious, light. The faux-jito was delicious! Love everything about the place and can’t wait to go back!”
“Pad kra pow was amazing and the bartender made me some sort of funky orange/chocolate drink. Great place to go if you’re into cocktails. Bartender was very knowledgeable, the glizzies were good with fresh ingredients and everything was reasonably priced. Very cool place (check out their micro green operation!) and we will definitely be back!”
“Place is fantastic and the food is A+++. Food is excellent, super healthy, rewarding and very tasty for price. Better than any restaurant in the area!!”
“Had a great happy hour experience. They were slammed, so service was slow, but we understood, especially with it being new. Our drinks, and sausages were delicious. The only improvement would be to add some acoustic squares or similar to the ceiling to absorb some of the sound. We really struggled to hear each other over the loudness of the space. Hope a deck is added at some point because it would be lovely to sip outside and overlook the fields. Keep up the great work!”
“A fantastic find in the area doing very interesting things with microgreens, stood out from the other restaurants in the area. Were very kind to us with our toddler. Delicious food!”
“We had a wonderful dinner here—pleasant atmosphere and incredible food and drinks!”
“So glad we stopped in for Sunday brunch. Incredible, clean, fresh, and healthy food sourcing from their in-house farm, local farms and local bakery. Great service. Wonderful atmosphere. Only 5 minutes from Deep Creek Lake area and McHenry. We’ll be back here regularly.”
“Really enjoyed our dinner! Great service and great food! Chicken caprese panini was fantastic! Awesome local beer selections on tap! Will definitely be back!”
“Fresh, flavorful, unique dishes. Love the micro-greens. Incredible cocktails. Fabulous service. Highly recommend!!!”
“First experience was exceptional. We arrived early evening and sat outside on the back deck that had a cool view of the wild flower garden. Food and drink menu was unique and interesting. We ordered the corn salsa appetizer, the micro greens salad with steak, a hot dog and a brat. All the food was exceptional and very tasty. Drinks were unique. The owners were ever present and wanting to ensure a wonderful experience. Highest rating for the restaurant!”
“We are delighted to have discovered the Harvest House restaurant. Our meals were prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients made in house, and the flavors were exceptional. We look forward to returning in the future.”
“Wow! Finally a great new experience in Garrett County! Limited menu as they are a start up, but drinks poured by Brian are fantastic! Stop by and enjoy!”
“Absolutely wonderful little gem. The food is delicious and the cocktails are all so unique.”
“Drinks were over the top good! Pea Tendril Margarita -- so good! Capri salad was fresh and delicious; panini - yummy! Will definitely go back!”
“I eat there a few months ago and it was pretty nice. I loved the decor. I kinda wish she was in a better location because it was at my bus stop. The time wouldn’t open and close is a little different but really good staff. It is an amazing place. If you are a vegetarian I highly suggest this place for you.”
“My husband and I finally tried this restaurant for the first time last night and absolutely loved it. They modified a dish to accommodate our vegan diets and it was so healthy and delicious. We loved their beer offerings as well, especially the sour! The atmosphere was lovely. We will definitely be back!”
“Amazing experience! Unique menu, cool cocktails, super friendly staff and owners! Had such a fun night, food and drinks were great, conversations even better - wish we lived closer!”
“Harvest House is an incredible spot in Friendsville. The craft cocktails garnished with house-grown microgreens are fantastic, and sitting on the back deck by the wildflower garden is perfect.
As a fellow Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, it’s awesome to see Darryl and Haeli doing such an amazing job with this place. You can really feel the community spirit they’ve poured into it. Go support a great RPCV-owned business!”
“We had an absolutely lovely time at the Harvest House. The food, service and atmosphere are top notch. We came for dinner with our pup and decided to come back to enjoy their brunch as well! I absolutely loved the Pollinator garden and their use of their edible flowers, micro greens in their food. Look forward to coming back for their fall menu updates.”
“This place is an absolute win for anyone gluten-free!! I tried the caprese salad and a gluten-free chicken Bánh Mì Panini. The presentation was as beautiful as the taste was divine. The caprese salad was full of microgreens, fresh cut mozzarella, and topped with edible flowers! Gluten-free bread can be a turn off for me but they have found the perfect recipe and combined it with flavorful microgreens making every bite worthy of another! It’s rare to find a scratch kitchen in a rural area that is this sensitive to dietary restrictions. The flavors were bold and inventive.
Additionally, they have an open viewing room of their microgreens which can be purchased on site as well.
An added BONUS, the owners are phenomenal!! They firmly believe in a high quality food, environment, and atmosphere. They also are incredibly intelligent on the microgreens. Both Haeli and Darryl are teaching chefs and want to give you an amazing product AND teach you how to use it!”
“What a great addition to DCL! I go back every time I visit family in the area. I love the cocktails and food. The caprese salad, chicken rice bowl, and pomegranate cocktail are favorites! The microgreens add a unique fresh touch that is delicious and beautiful. Loved getting a tour and trying the variety of microgreens! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Excited to go back in the warmer weather and sit outside!”
“Beautiful new renovation and a menu to complement the space! Each dish and cocktail features house grown micro greens and flowers. The pad krapow cocktail was one of the most unique Ive ever tried. Mocktails also were great with beer available on tap. 2oz of alcohol in each drink-- the extra price is worth the care and details/ingredients. Great place to bring the whole family. Coffee bar was not set up at the time I went but also is sure to be great.
Update 9.27.2025: had the opportunity to try brunch. Delicious bagel breakfast sandwiches, salad (super fresh and light), deviled eggs, and french toast. Coffee is also delicious, roasted in Baltimore from Threads Roasters. Great value will keep you wanting to try the next new item! Went back for dinner... Paninis, elote dip, and cocktails were great!
12/29/25- Pom & Balsam and Harvest Moon cocktails were great! P and B might be my new favorite. New food items tried included the beer salad, butternut squash soup, bahn mi panini l, and the Sriracha chicken bowl all of which were fantastic! The kids also liked their grilled cheese which came with chips and fruit.”
“If you’re looking for a great fresh and healthy meal then a trip to the Harvest is needed! The staff was VERY attentive, friendly and helpful. We had the harvest bowl with micro greens and the chagaccino. The micro greens are grown on sight and you can taste the freshness and flavor in each bite. We will be back!!”
“An excellent place! Everything is delicious and beautifully presented. The staff is incredibly welcoming, and the service is fast—something you rarely find these days. We really enjoyed it and will definitely be back!”
“Amazing brunch with my son! Caprese Salad with microgreens was beyond fresh. His French toast with homemade whipped cream was sweet & satisfying. Staff were welcoming. It was such a treat to get a glimpse of their operations behind the scenes. Definitely recommend & cant wait to come back to try the dinner menu!”
“Microgreens on everything!!! Wonderful! Fresh! And we got some to go. It’s a hidden gem! Enjoyed the Juniper cocktail. Hubby liked the elote dip and had it on his all beef frank. We almost did not go in because the front porch area was looking sketchy...a little unkempt/messy. But very glad that we did. The service was solid. Everyone was friendly. Inside was clean and well decorated.”
“The place we initially wanted to go to was closed on the Fourth of July, so we ended up here and oh my goodness what a win. The people who work here are incredible and the service is impeccable. They make their own microgreens - and they are delicious. We got the micro green salad with over easy eggs, the French toast, and the deviled eggs. They were all the very best versions we have ever eaten! Don’t miss this spot!”
