Enjoy some traditional brunch favorites with a twist while complimenting your meal with bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys.

    Dinner in an 18th-century manor? Yes, please.✨ First time dining at @elkridgefurnaceinn and I’m officially in love. Nestled inside a colonial manor, this farm-to-table gem blends history with the kind of elevated New American dishes that make you pause mid-bite. Let’s get into this unforgettable meal: 🦆 The duck confit was fall-off-the-bone tender, elevated by a tangy Dijon vinaigrette with shallots & parsley. 🐙 I had the grilled octopus salad—grilled Tropea onions, squash planks, caponatina. So fresh. So balanced. 🍲 Chef Dan’s Cream of Baltimore soup was rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying. 🥩 My son ditched the chicken tenders for once 😂and tried the short rib which was moist, succulent, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth. 🥤He kept it classic with a Shirley Temple (his fave). 🍑 I sipped on Pat’s Pickled Peach Punch: sweet & slightly pungent with pineapple and Sprite. 🥃 And the Summer Old-Fashioned? Strong, bold, and bright with housemade peach rosemary syrup. 🍰 Dessert stole the show—the Dubai Chocolate Cake was a multi-layered masterpiece, embellished with gold flakes and loaded with rich, decadent chocolate. Pure indulgence. Huge shoutout to our server Audrey and assistant server Kyle as they were super attentive, kind, and full of knowledge about both the menu and the gorgeous colonial site. You can taste the freshness in every bite. From the elegant ambiance to the thoughtful menu, this spot is truly one of a kind🫶🏾 📍If you’re craving a dining experience that blends elegance, heritage, and heart @elkridgefurnaceinn is it. 👉🏾 Follow me @naa_chopslife for more food gems & unforgettable local finds! — #ElkridgeFurnaceInn #FarmToTableDining #HistoricEats #FineDiningMD #DubaiChocolateCake #GoldFlakesDessert #BaltimoreEats #duckconfit #DuckConfit #duck #KidApprovedMeals #BlackFoodie#CultureCuratorEats #dubaichocolate #fyppppp #explorepageedit #cocktails #mocktail #elkridgemd #elkridge #visitmaryland #luxurydining #elegant #frenchcuisine🇫🇷 #howardcountymd #dmveats #dmvfoodie #dmvfoodiecrew #farmtotable #farmtoplate

    Everything was good, the food would have been 5 Star but the Duck was more like a patty of minced duck meat vs a duck breast, per se. The pork chop was great! The sorbet and drinks superb, the ambiance was awesome even with a wedding happening with a cool Dj! The food tasted fresh and it was great being there.

    Destination restaurant. Lovely, classic service - not just take your order, runner brings food and then the check. Actual wait service. Nice to experience it again. It’s too rare now. Food is creative and refreshingly varied. The Chef’s special soup is a must have. Lamb, venison, duck, and pasta entrees were all good although not amazing. Pear dessert was outstanding. Goat cheesecake was very nice. Prices typical for upscale category it fits in. We will definitely go back

    Have been here many times for dinner but never for brunch. So glad we decided to try it. Plenty of options from starters to brunch entrees and even desserts. Food was delicious! For a starter we had the multigrain bread with homemade goat cheese. If I had known how good it was, I would have ordered 2! For entrees, I had the mushroom omelette and it was so tasty as are the mushrooms I get on the dinner menu. My husband had the Sammy which he really enjoyed. We both had the potatoes dauphinois and they were amazing! Top notch restaurant and We will most definitely be back for brunch!

    My husband and I decided to celebrate our anniversary by dining at Elkridge Furnace Inn. The Scallop appetizer was delicious. Our entrees, Foraged Mushrooms and Beef Meatballs, and Tunisian Lamb Shank, were absolutely amazing. My husband is still talking about how the meat just fell off the bone! And, to finish off dinner, the Apple Cider Brûlée was just divine. We always have a great time here, and will be talking about our experience for a while. There were also the little things they did to help celebrate our day that just made us feel so special!

    We came to experience the happy hour menu and the beautiful patio last night on the glorious October evening! The food was so delicious. Both my husband and I had the pork belly hot dog and duck fat fries! It is so rich and satisfying at an incredible price. These specials are not to be missed. Can't wait to go back and taste the other Happy Hour offerings.
    The Elkridge Furnace InnResponded on October 15, 2026
    Kathy, we thankful for such positive words and delighted to hear that you enjoyed our happy hour menu on our patio!
