Signature Dish

Carriage House’s contemporary history

For 35 years, Carriage House Inn has been a staple in Emmitsburg dining. The historic building dates back to 1857 and still boasts features that beckon to a different time, such as the stone fireplace. The restaurant recently added a new front patio and bar, according to manager Kristy Shriner. She describes Carriage House as the place for everyday occasions as well as special events. Locals will be familiar with favorites like the jumbo lump crab cakes and herb-crusted prime rib, but the eatery opted to showcase one of its newer additions for this week’s Signature Dish, the steakhouse wedge salad, which the staff hopes will delight new and returning customers alike. Chesapeake crab dip, burgers, lobster and crab mac, and jambalaya are also on the menu. Visit on a Friday or Saturday night, and you’ll be met with the sounds of piano into the evening.
