Dutch Country Farmers Market

Reviewed By dc985

Only open Thursday through Sunday, it is worth the trip! Although crowded, service is prompt and friendly. And, oh what you can find!!! Some of the most beautiful fresh poultry and delicious fried wings. There's all sorts of smoked and BBQ pork, beef, and chicken. Baked goods are over the top. The Mennonite home made pickles are amazing. Bring a cooler to bring your stuff home and be sure to get an ice cream cone before you leave.

Jailbreak Brewing Company

We are a production craft brewery located in Laurel, Maryland. In addition to serving our beers to hundreds of restaurants, bars and retailers across the state, we also operate a Taproom with a capacity of 150-plus people. We offer 12-15 different styles of beer for purchase by the pint, sample flights, and crowlers or growlers to go! In late March 2018, we expanded our Taproom with the addition of FoodWorks, which boasts an open kitchen, additional seating, and an impressive selection of shareable plates, crafted to pair perfectly with our beers. We’ve got vegetarian and gluten-sensitive options, too! Oh—and we now serve wine!

Jailbreak is a great place to go if you looking for a good microbrew or good food and it's a slam dunk if you want both. Try the jerk chicken cheese steak; the beer cheese was amazing. As the title of the post mentions, I visited in the age of social distancing when eating in was not an option. No problem. They offer carryout food and alcohol that can be picked up inside or delivered to your car. The inside has a nice vibe and will be a good spot for drinks or dinner once social distancing restrictions are lifted.

Beautiful area to hike and can bring dogs and kids. Water area, gorgeous wildlife and much needed respite from busy traffic area. Well worth a visit. My friend said, "How did I not know about this place before now??" It is so fun to go.
