About Thurmont Kountry Kitchen

The 1990s saw us begin big-scale renovations in our building; a brand-new office and additional storage space allowed us to operate at a larger capacity. Our continued success inspired us to revamp and expand our kitchen in 1999 as we were getting ready for the new millennium!

We kicked off the turn of the millennium with even more expansions; our dining room became ampler, allowing us to accommodate more customers into the place that had now become our second home. The purchase of a new chicken broaster launched us into broasted chicken stardom and our efforts were rewarded when, in 2005, The Broaster Company awarded us the Broasted Chicken Award. This victory led us to acquire a second broaster in 2006!

After nearly 30 years of a successful operation under Pat and Roger, their daughter, Sherry, and her husband, Rob, didn't want to see a well-loved community favorite shutter after their passing. With hard work, dedication, and a dream, Sherry and Rob purchased her family's restaurant and kept the grill hot, continuing to serve up fan favorites without a hitch. And although 2020 was a year filled with surprises, Thurmont Kountry Kitchen was named a finalist for "Best Community-Oriented Business" and "Best Place To Eat With Kids" at Frederick News Post Best of Best!

In 2020, both dining areas underwent remodels to introduce a new, fresher vibe into the restaurant. Our community’s continued support granted us yet another honor: we were named finalists for the 2021 Frederick News-Post Best of Best award in the categories “Best Place To Work For” and “Best Fried Chicken”.

Today, we continue to proudly amass awards and serve delicious homemade meals to all our patrons. We recently received recognition as the “Best Hole In The Wall Spots For Fried Chicken (Best Chicken In Maryland)”. We were presented the “You Make Thurmont Proud Award” and “Community Heart Award”. We owe all these successes to our loyal customers, from those who were here from day one to our latest additions to the family; thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We are very excited to introduce our new Thurmont Kountry Kitchen Catering Van!
