“First time there, the food was delicious. Best we've had in years. The arancini were crispy and hot with a delicious tomato sauce. I had shrimp arrabbiata. Fantastic. Andrea had the mushroom ravioli. That was an earthy, tasty treat pack with mushrooms. Love the cafe style. Will go back as often as we can.”

“My wife and I had dinner here in celebration of our 51st wedding anniversary. Our dinner was excellent as well as Nadine's drink recommendation which was a hit. Nadine provided great service and was very welcoming. We enjoyed her great conversation and attentiveness. She made our anniversary even more special. We will definitely be returning soon.”

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant ( I think my favorite restaurant ) yesterday . I had to change the time of my reservation while already at the restaurant due to late arrival of the others in my group. They graciously switched the reservation . Enrico was very helpful with a few other concerns I had about my group. The bartender was friendly and made an amazing drink while I waited for my company to arrive . Our waiter Marcello was wonderful and the food was melt in your mouth delicious ! They also have gluten free pasta and pizza dough in case someone in your group is gluten free. Can’t say enough about this restaurant that makes you feel like you are part of the family !”

“We used to frequent this restaurant often when we lived in Frederick. We returned for my 70th birthday dinner. As usual, Rich did an outstanding job, not only with our meals but also with meals designed for our vegan/vegetarian children. Trish, our server , was also excellent. Just sorry that we didn’t get to see Kelly. You must go to this restaurant!! Pam Keipper”

“We ordered catering for a party -they delivered and it was outstanding! The best catering we've ordered! They sent generous portions and everything was fresh. We did chicken and falafel with 7 toppings and 3 sauces. It was perfect for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans! Had something for all.”

“We went to Motherland restaurant today for the first time. Sabina prepares food that tastes great. Both vegan and meat and fish dishes are available. Herbs and spices and healthy oils create a potpourri of wonderful flavors and create a satisfying meal without the use of salt. Vegans now have a new choice for flavorful meals.”

“After witnessing the horrific lines & long wait times at the white marsh location, I postponed my highly anticipated first visit to Crumbl & ended up ordered a lil 6-pack for myself later in the evening at the Frederick location.
I was the only customer there (presumably bc they were about to close) but my order was ready & waiting, & despite my intentions to share with my family, I somehow blacked out (?) & all six were gone by the time I drove the mile back to my house… oops!
They have such great flavors - I love that they have a core menu of classic offerings & a weekly rotation of unique & seasonal treats. This summer, I was so excited to see banana’s foster (or maybe banana cream pie - I was riding a severe sugar high that seems to have impaired my memory somewhat…) & a lil key lime tart. Omg. Everytb in is great - you really can’t go wrong.
Personally, bc I’m poor & they aren’t exactly cheap, I like to order the minis in a 3-pack (rarely) or 6-pack (99% of the time bc I can’t limit myself to 3 choices!) I think the minis are the way to go, whether you’re watching your calories &/or carbs, ordering for small children, prefer not to spend over $50 on any food order unless it includes filet mignon…. Or if you’re just indecisive like me & want one of everything.
So glad they opened a Crumbl in Frederick, but put it on the other side of town so my ADHD allows me to frequently forget it even exists unless I’m literally driving past it, bc otherwise my A1C (& wallet$ would be in trouble!)”

“Long post ahead, warning! I walked in around 9 pm and the hostess didn't bat an eye at my dining alone, and didn't say anything about it, which I appreciate. I was seated right away with no problems and immediately got a chance to look over the menu. I will admit, it took a little bit longer than expected for my waiter to come over, but as a lone diner I sort of expected that. I looked like I was waiting for someone, I'm sure. The look and feel of the place was very upscale, but they didn't have any problems with me walking in wearing a nerdy t-shirt. I was seated in this cute little booth for 2 with curtains on the side so, if I wanted a more private dinner, I could have it. It was a cute touch! The restaurant also offered patio dining and since it's by the creek, that would have been a downright charming experience were it not the usual Maryland summer. Despite having a bar, the restaurant was respectably quiet and low-key, making it an easy dining experience. I wasn't in the mood for something wild, and this place really hit the nail on the head. My first waiter Kevin, however, was the picture of polite helpfulness. He answered all of my questions, made some wonderful suggestions, and was incredibly pleasant to talk to. I was delighted to find out that this place takes part in DC restaurant week, so I was able to take part in that promotion. Under a suggestion from Kevin, I ordered a glass of their moscato (I wanted something light and sweet), and the wine was so good I brought home a whole bottle. Not really on them, but it does reflect their excellent selection. Dinner itself was delicious. The red pepper soup was refreshing and flavorful, without being too filling. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and was flavored in the perfect way to make the actual flavor of the meat shine. The potatoes were both light and fluffy, but also had the little chunks of potato that I prefer in my mashed. The best part was desert. About halfway through my appetizer, Kevin introduced my other waiter, Maddy, who took over after he went home. She was as much of a delight as he was, and made possibly the best recommendation of the night. Desert was this blackberry tart that I did not have room for but could not put down. Gooey and crumbly all at once, with a warm center that was almost caramel-y even though it was fruit based. Topped with a light cream to balance it all out, it was absolutely delicious. I will be thinking of that tart all day tomorrow. The prices on the menu were a little high, but I wouldn't go so far to say they were unreasonable. If I had wanted a cheaper option, I could have gone to any chain restaurant ever. In the grand scheme of downtown Frederick, with it's many small businesses and one of a kind dining experiences, I think this was reasonable. For reference, a lot of meals were between $20 and $30, but a good steak is almost always $30+. Despite the price, I had an exceptional dining experience, and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for upscale dining, without the upscale requirements.”

“This is a new restaurant that is still working out the kinks. There was some confusion at the host/hostess stand about who was being seated where. Service was decent for a new place but still it was a little slow. The food was quite good. One of us had Chicken Marsala which was very good but it didn't have a traditional marsala sauce. Whatever it was, it was tasty. The other had Veal Parm. It was also quite good but the pasta sauce had an unusual flavor that was slightly off-putting We would be happy to return and try some other dishes but for one factor: Fox News on the TV in the bar. Watch it at home if you like but don't make me watch it.”

“I catered a large lunch for 40 people at my office. The food was so delicious, my team devoured it all before the last few were able to arrive. I called chef Stacy and the kitchen fired off more food for me on the spot and Chef Stacey delivered it to my office herself within 30 minute. The burgers were perfectly seasoned and cooked, the hot dogs nice and plump, the hand made chicken nuggies were the best ever, the salad was fresh and the price was very fair. I 100% recommend Maxwell’s for your catering needs.”

“I visited this Waffle House online, and though I didn't get the human, in person, experience at this one.
I am sure, as all Waffle Houses that I've been to, the service is excellent, and the food can't be beat.
If you're skeptical of reviews, of online experiences only, then I suggest that you stop in this one, and try it for yourself.
I dare anyone to prove me wrong. I would also appreciate and back feed.”

“Took the survey and it asked what could be improved but never asked what was excellent. One simple name... NJ! Hands down he is the reason I come back to this location. Always friendly and has a giant smile on his face. I can not stress enough how much of a delight he is. I wish I could have written in the survey how fantastic he is because I feel like everyone complains about things so much these days it's rare when people have a good report! He deserves to be recognized for his excellent job!”

“Good food.
Kind of weird they do not take any orders. People have to do it themselves. A lot of folks were getting frustrated in the lobby. Someone dropped their soda and literally had to yell back so someone could help him clean it up (even though there was a gentleman cleaning tables who looked at them and walked away). You can’t have a robot do everything.”

Seriously the best Mediterranean food I’ve had! I really appreciated that the owner explained that he makes all of the food to order and nothing it “ready to eat” because he wants to provide the freshest, best food to his customers. There’s a great shared courtyard area right out front with picnic tables. Highly recommend! And the owner gave me a taste of the baklava - it is sooooo good!”

“Both the regular bibimbap and the hot stone bibimbap are very delicious with a lot of veggies and meat. The regular bibimbap is slightly smaller than the hot stone one, but it’s totally sufficient for a person already. The central waiting line to put an order for any vendor in this food court is a bit inconvenient, but overall it’s a nice place for a hearty Korean lunch. We would love to come back.”

Pizza • $
“I was introduced to this pizza truck at the Emmitsburg Farmers Market this past Friday afternoon. I don't like wood fired pizza but I sat next to them for several hours and finally the amazing smells coming from this truck got the better of me. I got the Alfredo 2.0 and it was everything the description said it would be. Absolutely incredible melding of flavors amd a perfect crust. The pizza was perfectly cooked but perhaps best of all was served at a temperature that I could eat almost immediately instead of like most places where pizza is served at the tempersture of molten lava. So happy I tried it and I will be searching them out in the future. Mike of Mike's Farm Market”

“As four guests visiting for the first time, we all thought the food was great. Service was slow to order a beer and desert was almost cancelled because of time and the glazing did not arrive with one of the deserts and getting a side cup never arrived. The waitress was new and very helpful and will get better with experience. The only disappointment was their Military Discount? They only allow 10% for "active" Military making one feel that veterans just don't qualify? And the 10% you receive is only on the members main meal. So for a $60.61 meal the discount was $1.49? I give the discount I receive back to the wait staff and left a $15.00 tip.”

I myself have a special blend of Chocolate and Orange. I just recently went to restock and tried several that I never tried before. My favorite now is Black Rose ...I love the rose tones ...They sell different amounts and if you bring your can or bag back you get a discount. On the main street in Frederick....street parking or lot parking. Worth the visit you cannot choose just one”

Gastropubs • $$
“I came across the pub by accident on Google Maps and decided to stop and check it out. The atmosphere was good, with sports playing on television and people sitting and chatting. The space is a bit small, but the tables and booths were comfortable. The appetizer and drinks came out in short order, but we had to wait awhile for our entrees. (A couple next to us arrived before us and did not receive their main meals by the time we were getting ready to leave.)
That said, the food is absolutely delicious. I mean delicious. You can tell they use fresh incredients. The bread for the burger was soft and delicious. The brussels sprouts with bacon were beyond delicious. I had the jerk chicken tacos, and that chicken was perfectly seasoned and complemented with a savory chimichurri sauce.
My wife tried the IPA and gave me a taste. It was refreshing and delicious. Our kid had the mac and cheese, and I need to get the recipe! The cheese was perfectly melted, not the grimy cheese you get from pre-shredded stuff in a bag. Someone must have shredded the cheese in the back. It was that good and velvety smooth.
The portion sizes were just right. We will definitely be stopping by again because the food was great, the atmosphere was chill, and the service was very good. (Not 5-star great because of the time it took for the food to arrive, but we get it… Busy time.)”

Cowboy Roll is a must!!!! You can thank me later. We had two others (Mama and something with a B) and they were good/fine, will definitely try different ones instead of reordering those two. Ordered the kids lo mein with chicken and didn’t try the noodles (kids liked it) but the chicken was very bland.”

“I have been on the hunt for a reliable Indian food restaurant out in our area for quite a while, while my fiancé can handle food with heat, I can’t! It was tricky to find a place that reliably could make tasty and mild dishes until we found Taj Mahal. We try to get dinner here once a week and it’s always fantastic- made just the way we order it heat wise, super tasty, very large portions and great service. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out! Check out the mild chicken korma if you want to venture into Indian food but are afraid of it being too spicy. Great place!!”

I had one of the most AMAZING professional workers I have EVER encountered in customer service. Shayne was kind, friendly used miss and ma’am to refer to me during my visit there just now. I thanked him for being so kind to me as I’m down there today to see my mother in law on hospice and let him know that his kindness and customer service was much needed on a day like today. He even went as far to say he will be “praying” for me during this tough time Thank you papa johns and thank you Shayne for spreading kindness ❤️❤️ (I asked for his permission to take his picture ) To my friends. Let’s share kindness. We know how fast negativity spreads Ps ) Look at that SMILE !”

It was pretty empty, but we also went late on a week night. They also stay open later than most others in the area! Frederick goes to bed way too early lmao.
Will definitely be back!”

Highly recommend!!”

“Just had an excellent dinner at China Garden. Ambiance, service, and food was 5 star. Started with complementary special pickles served with wonton, sweet and sour souse and hot mustard. Wonton soup was full of pork wonton and tasty. We ordered Shrimp in Lobster Sauce, and Sweet and sour pork both or which were VERY generous portions and delicious. Took home enough for another complete dinner. Definitely looking forward to returning and working our way through the menu”

“As four guests visiting for the first time, we all thought the food was great. Service was slow to order a beer and desert was almost cancelled because of time and the glazing did not arrive with one of the deserts and getting a side cup never arrived. The waitress was new and very helpful and will get better with experience. The only disappointment was their Military Discount? They only allow 10% for "active" Military making one feel that veterans just don't qualify? And the 10% you receive is only on the members main meal. So for a $60.61 meal the discount was $1.49? I give the discount I receive back to the wait staff and left a $15.00 tip.”

“First time there, the food was delicious. Best we've had in years. The arancini were crispy and hot with a delicious tomato sauce. I had shrimp arrabbiata. Fantastic. Andrea had the mushroom ravioli. That was an earthy, tasty treat pack with mushrooms. Love the cafe style. Will go back as often as we can.”

“This is a new restaurant that is still working out the kinks. There was some confusion at the host/hostess stand about who was being seated where. Service was decent for a new place but still it was a little slow. The food was quite good. One of us had Chicken Marsala which was very good but it didn't have a traditional marsala sauce. Whatever it was, it was tasty. The other had Veal Parm. It was also quite good but the pasta sauce had an unusual flavor that was slightly off-putting We would be happy to return and try some other dishes but for one factor: Fox News on the TV in the bar. Watch it at home if you like but don't make me watch it.”

“After witnessing the horrific lines & long wait times at the white marsh location, I postponed my highly anticipated first visit to Crumbl & ended up ordered a lil 6-pack for myself later in the evening at the Frederick location.
I was the only customer there (presumably bc they were about to close) but my order was ready & waiting, & despite my intentions to share with my family, I somehow blacked out (?) & all six were gone by the time I drove the mile back to my house… oops!
They have such great flavors - I love that they have a core menu of classic offerings & a weekly rotation of unique & seasonal treats. This summer, I was so excited to see banana’s foster (or maybe banana cream pie - I was riding a severe sugar high that seems to have impaired my memory somewhat…) & a lil key lime tart. Omg. Everytb in is great - you really can’t go wrong.
Personally, bc I’m poor & they aren’t exactly cheap, I like to order the minis in a 3-pack (rarely) or 6-pack (99% of the time bc I can’t limit myself to 3 choices!) I think the minis are the way to go, whether you’re watching your calories &/or carbs, ordering for small children, prefer not to spend over $50 on any food order unless it includes filet mignon…. Or if you’re just indecisive like me & want one of everything.
So glad they opened a Crumbl in Frederick, but put it on the other side of town so my ADHD allows me to frequently forget it even exists unless I’m literally driving past it, bc otherwise my A1C (& wallet$ would be in trouble!)”

Cowboy Roll is a must!!!! You can thank me later. We had two others (Mama and something with a B) and they were good/fine, will definitely try different ones instead of reordering those two. Ordered the kids lo mein with chicken and didn’t try the noodles (kids liked it) but the chicken was very bland.”

The side of fries weren't much to look at but, looks definitely deceived. The seasoning on the fries was very good. Add a great stout and I was glad I made this choice. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend giving it a shot.”

“Very generic interior, nothing stood out and no ambiance, really. Lacking decorum and aesthetic. I don't really need to see 100 bamboo steamers stacked up on the wall, especially when they're coming to my table.
The menu is on large tv screens mounted to the wall, very fast food-esque. To order, we walked up to the counter, where the cashier was less than enthusiastic to be working there or maybe working at all. We were given a plastic number tag for the table we chose and waited about 10 to 15 minutes for our food.
My friend's Soup dumplings were overcooked to the point some dumplings were visibly open and all but 1 dumpling had no soup. When we lifted the bamboo steamer from her tray, the soup had pooled below on the tray. She liked the flavor and texture of her sampler, though.
For me, my dumplings were almost perfect, except the chicken. The chicken had no soup and I immediately got a texture no no (gristle, perhaps). My other dumplings in the sampler were delicious and decently flavorful. Bao buns were a great hit all around - fluffy, white bread texture, scrumptious BBQ flavor, and actual pieces of meat, not paté or mush. Lastly, the veg noodles I brought home for a later meal were awesome. They reheated nicely in a wok with a tbsp of water and dash of soy. Veg was tender crisp and I loved the flavor.”

“This Wingsto, managed tonight by Kay...is Wingstop's best kept secret
The staff is professional & quick unlike the Patrick St wingstop on The Golden Mike
At the Patrick st..orders take forever & are often incorrect. It's management is incompetent and one-by-one they are quiting to take better jobs like Brian..now working at Lotbelly's & Perry..likely already the g.m. of a better fast food restaurant
The buckeystown Wingstop tonight..wings ready in less than 5 minutes & perfect with my favorite Mango Habenero sauce
The Cajun fries when fresh ..ready in 4 minutes are the best fries anywhere
When the owner of Oatrick st loses his franchise rights..I trust Wingstop will transfer the Patrick st rights to the Buckeystown group
That day kay will be g.m. or area manager- if she wants the aggravation”
