Kelley Farm Kitchen

terrific food.

i had their shoyu ramen. it was amazing, super flavorful. a lot of veggie stocks are one dimensional or they try to mimic beef or pork stock. this is a veggie stock that's proud of it. it's not going to taste exactly like pork tonkotsu or something but id say it tastes just as good as the traditional, even though it's different. give it a chance you will be impressed it's complex and flavorful and rich and tasty.

i also had their strawberry banana bread pudding. terrific! like french toast. a huge portion but i still feel like i did not have enough.

service was terrific our server was very kind.

and the ambiance was wonderful also! great place.

I brought my wife here after an aborted C&O Canal bike ride to Harpers Ferry (long story, that). It's in neighboring Bolivar, up a mile-long hill but worth the effort. They specialize in vegan recreations of your favorite comfort foods in an older, wooden house, a bit ramshackle but with plenty of character, small but freshly painted dining space, with a porch and well-tended front yard garden for you to eat outdoors. Very enthusiastic staff, we were visited by the proprietor and talked for a bit (I happened to return on their four-year anniversary so I wished them well). The enthusiasm is probably in order, they must have their share of vegan skeptics who need convincing.

My wife is a dedicated carnivore so she ordered the seitan cheesesteak, her first vegan meal. No skeptic here; the tofu egg salad sandwich was simply astonishing (no wonder it was sold out my second visit). Sandwiches are large. For some odd reason, they have daily specials but sometimes forget to let the customer know. Be sure to ask them, the bread pudding was superb (chatted with the chef, she was awfully proud of it and it showed) as was the "beef" barley soup, perfect for outdoor dining with your burger.

If you have the legs, this is the best C&O Canal bicycle pit stop you can imagine. If you don't, walk your bike up that mile-long hill. The ride back to Harpers Ferry is a blast!

Looks like a really tiny home with a lot of character got turned into an amazing restaurant where everything served to you is carved flavorfully.

This restaurant is located in historic Harper's Ferry!! This town has some European charm, and this took me back to Germany/Luxborg/Switzerland. If you are visiting this town, a perfect plan would be to stop by here first, park near the restaurant (parking is free) and the walk down to the town.

The food was amazing and tried ingredients that are usually incorporated in tropical countries. One example is jack fruit!! Probably most of them here don't even know what that is.

My son was angry that he couldn't try the Nachos. We were traveling and didn't want much leftovers and wanted to try a few dishes. So we went with a firecracker chicken sandwich, Maryland jack and creamy coconut Ramen.

The sandwiches just melted like butter and the ramen was rich with spices tingling your palate and tongue. A regular local who is down there almost every weekend but was doing a pick up recommended a great spot to sit, which is on the patio right by the door. This is a great place if you love the morning sun.

You cannot be wrong when you are rated 4.8 on Yelp and 4.9 on Google. I strongly recommend it!

Great lunch spot in Harper's Ferry! Stopped here for lunch with my husband before some fall afternoon hiking. He got the BBQ burger, I got the BBQ Jack sandwich, and we split a vanilla soft serve with Oreo crumbles.
Vibe: 5/5
Plenty of outdoor seating and cozy interior. They had Taylor Swift music playing today and service was super friendly

Food: 4/5
Ice cream was AMAZING. My sandwich had very very good flavor, but the jackfruit was a little mushy. We had a late lunch so not sure if this would have been better earlier in the day. The "outer" bites were mushy when it was just the jackfruit and bread in the bite, but when the coleslaw, onion, and pickles joined in toward the center it was a great balance of flavor and texture.

We stopped by specifically for the soft serve oat milk ice cream. 3 out of 4 of us really enjoy oat milk based products, and this is the first time we've really seen oat milk ice cream being sold (ice cream at grocery stores excluded).

OAT MILK ICE CREAM (4 OZ.) - 5
+0.25 for crushed oreos as a topping. The ice cream was on the smaller side, but it was extremely creamy with a great consistency. I got the vanilla soft serve and you can definitely tell it's a dairy-free base. Overall, we enjoyed our soft serves and would definitely recommend giving it a try.

MAC & CHEESE (16 OZ.) - 9
They also have an 8 oz. option! I am a huge fan of mac & cheese, so I was curious how Kelley Farm Kitchen could make it vegan. The rigatoni pasta was more of a turmeric shade (maybe that's what they used to color it?) and it still had a creamy consistency that I enjoyed. It doesn't taste like cheese (only the texture was similar) or look like cheese, but it was still pretty good for what it was. I enjoyed it!

The inside of the restaurant is pretty small and probably better suited for take out orders. They do have outdoor seating which would be perfect for nice summer days.

WOW WOW WOW
...
WOW

I literally am blown away by this cute, humble eatery that is PACKED with culinary experience and potential! Seriously, this place has to be put on the map for redefining vegan cuisine and demonstrating that we can have sustainable, vegan food in our every day lives!

My partner and I visited this place twice over the weekend, they have a wide menu of items ranging from vegan ramen to vegan chicken sandwiches. I also appreciate how many of their items are gluten free. The service is FAST and efficient. I ordered the Fire Cracker Chick'n Sandwich and the sauce, *chef's kiss* I also ordered a side of Mac and Cheese, but it was okay. Crafting vegan mac and cheese is hard, but this was a serious good attempt! The bread on the burger was very brittle, but it didn't take it so much for the delicious cuisine experience.

The vibes are imacculate. We often think that summer is a quintessential experience filled with ice cream melting off of a cone. But no, rather it is the siracha aoli melting in hands, melting on your mouth, not being bothered for having a messy meal, but it devouring such delicious flavors is worth such costs. And the outdoor seating brings into a cozy enviornment, as if you were invited to a friend's backyard for an end-of-the-summer cookout. Cool summer night

Recommending this lil gem 100%!
Probably one of the best vegan places I've tried! Foods super fresh and absolutely delicious! We were at Harper Ferry for the weekend and ate almost of all our meals here! Service was great, staff were super friendly and accommodating! Love that they have outdoor seating with umbrellas! I wish I had taken more pics to post - but here are a few from our epic meals!

Kelley Farm Kitchen has been on my list for a while, so I was super excited to try this place out when we finally made our way to the HF area.

This vegan eatery has been around since '18, and they offer a pretty extensive menu with seasonal offerings.

There was a line when we arrived, and more patrons kept showing up - you could tell that this place was pretty popular.

We ordered:
+Raw Spring Rolls - rice paper filled with root veggies, cucumbers, broccoli slaw, and avocado; served with a side of sweet chili sauce; these looked aesthetically pleasing, but the rolls were not wrapped tightly, so the fillings all came out after the first bite; the broccoli slaw had some blackened edges/parts, so not sure if these were fresh?
+the Nachos Grande - definitely generous in size and could be shared between several people; tortilla chips topped with pinto beans, nacho cheese, tomatoes, bell peppers, pickled jalapenos, green onions, black olives, sour cream, dried cilantro, and green sauce; we asked for no cilantro, but they still included it; these were actually flavorful, but it was cold; I think if one were eating on site, came right out of the kitchen, and consumed it right away, it would have been better; having it as a takeaway, maybe request the tortillas to be separated, as they do become soggy quickly?
+the Creamy Coconut Ramen Bowl - a house broth with coconut milk, garlic, herbs, and spices with greens over cubed tofu, purple cabbage, carrots, house relish, garlic, and green onions with a 3-ingredient wheat noodle; the broth actually had good flavor, but it was lukewarm/cold! We thought we were consuming a cold dish
+Firecracker Chick'n Sandwich - one of their Fall Specials; this was a crispy chick'n with greens, organic, kimchi, bread n butter pickles, shaved purple onions, and sriracha aioli; this was just not tasty, as the 'crispy' chick'n patty was not crispy, but mushy, and cold (not even lukewarm); the kimchi didn't seem to be well-fermented, and the bread n butter pickles added a weird sweetness to the sandwich; the flavors were just not for us

We really believed that each of the orders would be a made-to-order; this definitely was not the case, as what we received was not piping hot - not even lukewarm. It seemed as if our order was either constructed or prepared partially and then just left there or was completely forgotten to get cold - pretty upsetting.

Sorry, but no one wants to consume cold ramen broth, cold nachos, and a cold sandwich.

You order at the cashier, and then you wait for your name to be called. I was quoted by the cashier that our order would be ready in '15-ish minutes' - that was not the case, as we ended up waiting for 45+ minutes. Pretty annoying. Wouldn't have minded the wait, but an individual who could actually provide a more accurate wait time would have been nice.

Considering this eatery has been around for a handful of years, you'd think that they'd be a bit more organized and their process smooth - the place isn't cheap either, so we really felt that the attention to detail and the quality were lacking.

We tried to share our experience, but we couldn't find an employee; the line to order was blocking the entryway, non-stop, and patrons were not budging.

There are a few tables inside, a table on their porch, and outdoor seating to the left.

Plenty of street parking.

+food was served cold
+super inaccurate wait times quoted
+requests for omitting ingredients not adhered to
+indoor and outdoor seating
+street parking available

PROS
The location is great if you want to get away from the main strip and find something less packed. There's plenty of parking and outdoor seating, plus limited seating inside. It's also dog-friendly! It also has a huge menu with a lot of selection! It's great for vegans, as everything is catered to vegan needs and is farm fresh!

CONS
The service could have been better. The modifications I ordered (and the staff repeated when inputting order) were dismissed resulting in me not really enjoying my food.

Great service and delicious food. I was grateful for their hospitality and being the only vegan restaurant
in the area.
