There’s something pretty special about a real American diner meal, and if you’re up for a little drive, Born and Raised Diner in Frederick will not disappoint. About 30 minutes away but totally worth the drive, this restored diner offers that beloved diner vibe paired with a little modern-day flair in both their menu and decor. 

Serving up breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day long, you can really mix it up and order whatever you’re in the mood for any time of day. Favorite menu options are the chicken and waffles with pickled peppers and smoked honey or the biscuits and peppered gravy with fried egg. This way you’re getting a little sweet and a little savory all in one. If you’re in search of something a little more savory, the lunch and dinner menus don’t disappoint. Go for a simple dish like the onion soup or pastrami sandwich or go all out with the chicken pot pie fritter, shrimp and grits with shrimp and andouille, the crab cake sandwich made with Maryland blue crab and dill pickle remoulade, or the Nashville chicken sandwich bursting with flavor.
