About the restaurant
Bud's at Silver Run is a casual elegant restaurant located just north of Westminster, MD and south of Gettysburg, PA. Opened in May of 2008 "Bud's at Silver Run" invites you to enjoy great dining in a casual, friendly atmosphere. Local resident Blinn Salisbury III and partner Ken Lurie are pleased to become part of the community and to revive this great location. We have searched for the right restaurant and are happy that we have found it in Silver Run. Ken brings more than thirty years of varied restaurant experience with him to Bud's. From learning under Karl Beckley at the Greenlake Grill in Seattle to Food & Beverage Director of the Virgin Grand in the Virgin Islands, Ken is excited to return to Maryland. Our goal is to enhance and enrich your dining by offering a quality restaurant experience. We hope to meet and exceed your expectations in each of your visits. Whether you live in the area or if you are just passing through we look forward to making Bud's your place!

We had 2 in our party, celebrating a birthday and Valentine's Day, and both had the signature dish - Steak (Filet) 1776. It was seasoned and cooked to perfection, which is usually hard to do with a gorgeous thick cut filet. Wonderful drinks (sticking with the Valentine's theme, we had Red Pears) which were a delicious combination of Pear and Mango vodkas with Pomegranate juice. To round it off, we also had the signature dessert - Creme Brulee Cheesecake - a bit too dark for my taste but the inside was creamy and tasty. We will definitely return to this Rehoboth gem!
