“This is the best Italian sub ever! The bread was beautifully toasted and packed with flavor. The staff was very pleasant, and the space is cozy—with limited indoor seating, but that didn’t take away from the experience. I enjoyed sitting outside on a shaded bench, which added to the charm.

“This is our second visit. We tried different entres on the menu this visit. All have been excellent. There is nothing boring on the menu. Everything is full of tasty surprises. The mango in the salad to radishes with the roasted potatoes. A wonderful way to support students while they hone their skills in this setting. No wonder reservations are hard to come by.“

“The food was delicious. We do appreciated Dominic! He was attentive, polite, knew what we needed before we knew. He kept the tea filled. A very nice young man that was so good at his job. The bill was a little more than I am used to having to pay separately for a salad. Other steak places include the salad. The steak was excellent. Baked potato needed more topping , slightly dry. Dominic was the icing on our visit. I’m“

It was an absolute pleasure collaborating with her. I intend to utilize Crisp and Juicy's services for my future events.“

“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.“

“Cold in restaurant last night. We had to change tables to sit in room w/fire. Food was reliably OK, tasty; kitchen could cut down on the grease; however, shepherd's pie came minus sour cream topping or peas. Shop has the usual wide variety of items & sales to make everyone happy.“

“Drunken Mushroom Toast app, absolutely fantastic. Steak with caramelized onions and blue cheese wasn't bad, but the steak was oddly bland and packed any kind of sear. Service was very good the night went, but it never got too busy for dinner on a Friday night. I really liked the literal cellar walls that were very rustic“

“Outstanding food. Excellent service. Reasonable prices. Best crab cakes in Frederick. If you haven't been, you are missing out.“

“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.“

“My husband and I eat here every Tuesday after getting groceries. The people are friendly and the food is awesome.Highly recommend.“

“Nothing pretentious about this place and the food is outstanding. We've had several dishes and all were excellent. 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.“

“Always have to stop in for a chicken gyro when I'm in town! The best tzatziki ever!!! Great family run business!“

“Place to go after you eat at Avery’s. Great DJ and dancing.“

“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.“

“Great crowd, drinks, and food!“

“The sushi and tempura here was excellent. I definitely will be a regular at this restaurant.“

“Love the food!“

“Great place to go in downtown Frederick. The atmosphere was great. No wait to be seated. Our server Brandi’s was fantastic and very attentive. Her recommendations for our food and beverages were perfect. Loved the crab dip. I highly recommend this place.“

“Thank you for the multiple trays of delicious subs for our party!! They were a big hit!“

“Did an online pickup order on Valentine's Day. Process went smoothly. The order was ready when promised even on a very busy day for them. Gentleman who brought my order out to my car was very polite and friendly. The food was great, hot, well prepared, and a perfect Vday dinner for me and the wifey.“

“So good. So glad we found this gem!“

“What a great find. I was at the bar, it was a quiet night but from the food there was great, same thing for the restaurant has to be great too. Almost all plates are made on the property and so tasty. The desserts were great too. We'll be back when we are in the area in April.“

“I love this place! Highly recommended.“

“A private club, you can visit 3 times before you must become a member. Literally the most affordable place I have ever been. Went with a friend, expected the tab to be well over 100 dollars. It was 31... they have pool tables and they play sports on the TV.“

“Great, food, service! We will be returning in the future!“

“Our waiter John was awesome! We stopped in at 1am, that young man was jumping through hoops to make everyone’s experience great! The food was too notch! We will definitely stop here again!“

“Magoos Tavern is the GOAT.“

“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.“
