For such a small town, Emmitsburg has a ton of restaurants that are unique and mouthwatering. A local favorite for seafood and crabs is Rube's Crab Shack, which will please any Maryalnder's palate. Or if you prefer something more classic, try a place like The Carriage House Inn.

This old town is full of charm and full of good food, too. Try Leonardtown Grille for some American classics or if you prefer a bit of southern cuisine, head to The Front Porch. Be sure to bring a hearty appetite to either location.

Last but certainly not least is the rural town of Church Hill. Nonna Maria's Italian Restaurant seems to pop up out of nowhere and it's worth stopping in for the pizza and incredibly delicious cream of crab soup.
