“It is hands down the best Italian restaurant in the D.C. Metro area, not just in Frederick: the best pizza and pasta dishes you'll have. We've been dining here for years and love to see how popular the restaurant has become. Our entire family loves it, and I highly recommend you try it if you are in the area.”

“I love White Rabbit - great place, best pizza in the area, again best pizza ever - I have to have the Veronica Vaughn pizza. It is amazing and their French onion soup is out of this world everything that I get there is just over the top I wouldn’t go anywhere else. It’s just amazing. I love being down in the elk room. That’s my favorite place to go, but upstairs is super cool too and I’ve never had a bad experience there and the food is always perfect - the music fantastic.”

“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.”

“We came here for a joint birthday dinner for my 13 year old daughter and her 80 year old grandfather. There were 7 of us, so it was a fairly big party, but we had a wonderful time.
I want to make a special shout-out to our server, Eli, who was fabulous all night. I know a table that size on a busy Saturday night can be really difficult to manage, but he did a great job of taking care of us. Our drinks were always full, our food was always brought out as soon as it was out of the kitchen, and he was not only a fantastic server, but he was a very fun and pleasant person to interact with. (He even did a little candle in each dessert for both my daughter and father-in-law.)
We eat here fairly often and I have never had a meal that I didn't like. The food is always incredibly well seasoned and prepared.
We had a variety at the table on Saturday: a filet, a pork chop, three salmons, and a sea bass entree and everyone said their food was awesome. I can't recommend this place enough.”

“This was actually one of the nicer waffle houses I have been to. I cannot remember her name but the waitress who served us early this morning was so sweet! She has not had customers for a while and she made us a fresh pot of coffee which was the sweetest. Ordering, to cooking, to serving and eating our food was about 20 minutes total! The coffee was actually really good and the waffle was amazing as always. They had a waffle and sausage for 6 dollars and some Change which was a steal. The bathrooms and tables were also really clean. A surprisingly good experience for Waffle House and again the waitress was amazing! I loved her bubbly personality and she always made sure we didn’t need anything else.”

“My partner and I visit here quite often! I don’t remember all the names of our servers but Emily is one of our favorites! Have always felt CJ is quite blunt and rude to his coworkers, making the atmosphere quite tense and to put it bluntly, ruins our time there. And it wasn’t a one off visit either it seems every time we go he is quite rude.
There is one waitress there who we could chat with for hours and we love her!!! Unfortunately I don't remember her name.
Also disappointed they don’t have oatmeal. I’d prefer that much over grits or potatoes.
Parking: Small parking lot, but enough for what is needed. Sometimes need to park around back by the hotel”

“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!”

“Two young gentleman working at the two windows at drive thru were awesome. They wanted to make sure I got what I ordered. Although the guy who worked inside made a mistake they made sure I was satisfied. Thumbs up for the professionalism and hard work! However, the guy in the blue shirt (assuming the manager?) seemed annoyed that I asked for no ice and cream in my coffee (I'm lactose intolerant and prefer darker coffee). They need to pick the right person to be in charge.”
Fast Food • $
“Inside food service was slow at lunch (and usually is inside this location) especially for fast food - but orders were correct and server was nice and friendly. Tables were not cleaned by staff (they were all very busy) but customers handled quick wipe downs and were pretty neat and clean.
Parking: Take a spot when you see a spot and sometimes you get stuck for a couple minutes if the drive thru gets busy.”

“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.”
Barbecue • $
“I love good barbeque. For me, one of the most important things about a barbecue restaurant is the sauce that they have. Maybe you are not a sauce person, but I order food with the primary intention of soaking it in as much sauce as possible. This place has amazing sauce. Perhaps the only problem with the sauce is that there are six different kinds (and they even have some different kinds in the back), which means you may feel compelled to try every single one. I did, and and they're all really good.
To me, this chain is kind of like the Five Guys of barbecue. You order your food, they have it prepared pretty quickly, and you pick it up and go back to your seat. It's not a huge menu, but everything is delicious. And very reasonably priced. Very friendly and helpful staff as well. Would highly recommend this place if you were looking for a great barbecue place!”

“This store was very clean, as were the restrooms! Management and employees all very friendly as well as efficient! Food was fresh and delicious. I have very high standards as I worked at the Berlin Turnpike Roy’s for a decade back in the day. Sadly it’s now an Arby’s, which can’t even come close to the Roy Rogers roast beef. If we find ourselves passing through this way again, this will be a must stop. Thank you, extended Roy’s family!”

“Traveling from MD to PA, I was thrilled to see a Roy Roger's restaurant since they left Pittsburgh. I had chicken n waffles. It was delicious. Chicken cooked perfect crispy on the outside and tender juicy on the inside. Waffles crunchie but not hard. I also noticed they had a Roger's fixing bar so you can personalize your food. How thoughtful

It turned out the honey is what makes the tea good, in my opinion. The tea was still good. They have the Maryland been there mugs, if you are looking for it. I already got mine long time ago.b?”

“This particular Starbucks is located inside the Giant Food Supermarket at 3530 Sugarloaf Parkway and as such, could be easy confused with the stand alone Starbucks located at 3400 Urbana Pike Urbana, MD.. The photo is from the 3400 Urbana Pike, not the setup inside the Giant Supermarket. Therefore, one hopes that the reviewers do not mix the two locations up inadvertently. As such, there is a limited menu at this location, mostly beverages and cold pastries. The setup was recently moved to the left hand entrance in order to give more room for the customers. The beverages are well prepared, at least for the chocolate Frappuccino's that I like to order. It is a good alternative to the stand alone Starbucks a few blocks away, especially on a very busy Saturday when the drive through at 3400 is really backed up.”

“I’ve gotten assorted treats from Nikkie and her awesome team for years, but our most recent experience was by far the best. We ordered a custom cake for our daughter’s 5th birthday. I sent a few inspiration photos and my budget and let them know I also had a cake topper I wanted to use. Faith suggested a couple options in my budget that would customize it to our Cinderella theme and Nikkie helped to finalize the choices. When I picked up the cake I was stunned; it was perfect and when our daughter saw it she was absolutely enchanted. The birds and ribbons from Cinderella are one of her favorite parts of the movie, and they brought the entire thing to life. Everyone at the party commented on how gorgeous (and delicious) the cake was and we ate nearly the entire thing. My heartfelt thanks go to the entire team at Sage for adding such a memorable touch to our daughter's birthday celebration. Your skill, creativity, and attention to detail are truly appreciated!”

Bar • $
“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.”

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”

The sweet potato fries were delicious. The broccoli was steamed and sort of plain, but I like it like that. The salmon was good but the sauce was a little sweet. My family was happy with their meals, too.”

Cuban • $$
“Came here with a friend on a beautiful day. Were hoping to sit outside but there was no space, so next to front window sufficed. We came on a school holiday, so our host was a kid- very good at his job! Friendly, appeased our seating request, and importantly, spoke Spanish.
Waitress also spoke Spanish, thank goodness. We ordered a cubano sandwich and a pan con bistec. Both were well served portions and were delicious. The pan con bistec was a tiny bit dry, so ordered sides of mayo and mustard and that did the trick. We shred a side of yuca frita (the only way I eat my yuca) and it was heavenly. The food was delicious!
Atmosphere and cleanliness: It's a hole in the wall place and that's what we were in for. What I didn't like is that there were a bunch of flies around us at our table. Maybe it's because we were near a window on a sunny day, but that makes you question the cleanliness of a restaurant. The rest of the place seemed a bit dark- some strategic lighting would work wonders in the long narrow dining area. The music was on point!
Parking: Came here on a holiday and easily found street parking right in front of the place. Normally you pay to park, but it was free for us because of the holiday!”

“I ordered takeout here for a sushi fix one lunchtime. The sushi is really high-quality and good value. The only thing I was a little confused is I left gratuity online, but I didn’t show on the bill so when I went there, I had to be sure that the gratuity was included. But the nice lady explained it to me and we figured it all out. I would definitely recommend this place if you wanted some yummy sushi for lunch.”

We plan to go back so we can try some of their other menu options and are confident that Sapporo II will meet our high expectations and not disappoint!”

“Sweet Mother of Fox Mulder I am SO excited to have stumbled across this place! After my favorite area place closed, I was missing home-cooked Jamaican food. I got the chicken patty (YUM) and the jerk wings (pictured) Both SO TASTY with a nice little kick. I also got the hibiscus ginger drink, and boy. Was it gingery! Yum! They also have vegetarian options, I can’t wait to go back and try the jerk chickpeas and veggie patty.”

“A little pricey for drinks, but the bartender was great, nice little place attached to the hotel we were staying at. Came out to $82 for a poolside double, a Jefferson reserve double, and a loaded fries.”

“Hidden gem for the absolute best Asian food in the area. Sushi and poke bowls are fresh with creative flavors. Hot dishes are authentic and prepared exactly as you like. It’s worth every second of the 30 minute drive for us!”

“The food and the service here is really good. Everything was freshly made. We enjoyed 5he music that was playing and the atmosphere is quiet and more like a cafe or a bar. 2nd time coming and we are equally impressed each time.”

“The hibachi chef was a top-notch performer who kept our group laughing and having fun. The only problem was, it was at the expense of our food. I think the grill was turned up too high or something, but we kept smelling burning throughout cooking and watched as he was scraping off chunks that were overly burnt and tossing them out. Unfortunately our rice and meat choices all tasted burnt instead of the great flavor we were accustomed to here. It was the first time I've seen my husband not finish his meal at a hibachi place.”
Barbecue • $$
“Excellent BBQ. We eat there almost every time we’re in Frederick. Never disappointed!”
Spanish • $$
“The menu offers a broad array of authentic dishes, though some prices at the restaurant are considerably higher than on the caciquerestaurant dot com web site (example: $25.99 vs. $19.99 for Roasted Duck is 30%). The servers were prompt and efficient, though our order-taker and bill-collector seemed somewhat apathetic. The complimentary chips (thin and crispy) and salsa (pureed) were delicious, though too little salsa was provided relative to the number of chips and never was refilled. The Roasted Chicken with mixed vegetables was moist, tender, flavorful, and perhaps better with the white rice that was served than it would have been with the Spanish rice that was ordered. The Shrimp Tacos and accompaniments also were delicious, with HUGE shrimp prepared perfectly. It was a nice evening to eat outside before a show at the Weinberg's New Spire Arts, though Market Street is more disruptive (obnoxious vehicles) than Carroll Creek (strolling pedestrians). It was a decent experience overall.”

Very disappointed.Update:They reached out to me and remade my smoothie for me at a later date. I am glad they made it right because I am an avid Smoothie King customer.”

“Our server Robin did a wonderful job. She was busy, running around like crazy, and still did great. As a fellow restaurant worker I know greatness when I see it.”
Chicken Wings • $$
“....they changed the plates to have less depth, a very interesting tactic to reduce food portions, likewise they have reduced the portion size for potato wedges, quite cynical. Prices went up too...plus they didn't have menus at my last visit. Being able to pay online after meal is a plus. Staff are pretty good most of the time. The food itself though is great, I love these wings.... Another chain being killed by the short term mindset bean counters in corporate, it's going to be a rough road ahead for this chain.”

“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”

There is also entertainment in checking out all of the flight memorabilia surrounding each room. You might even be able to check out the landings and takeoffs from your table. Well worth the trip.”

“My husband & I had lunch here today. He had cream of crab & said it was delicious . I had the sub club , best club sandwich ever. Meat was fresh & bread was warm. No more expensive than any where else.”

“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.”

Italian • $$
“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.”
