Monocacy Crossing Restaurant

Hands down best brunch in Frederick. High quality food VERY reasonably priced. We’ve had the homemade cinnamon rolls, duck nachos, chicken biscuit, and bacon wrapped fillets over 2 visits. Every single item is amazing and you need to come eat here. No excuses. Go now.

Experience was amazing. Went to eat for a date night with my girlfriend and had nothing but good things to say. Menu options were great, food was great, service was great and this is going to become one of my regular spots. As a manager for a high end restaurant in the nearby area I can really appreciate what Monocacy Crossing is doing!

My wife and I have Blessed to live in the Sugarloaf area and to have Monocascy Crossing Restaurant nearby We have been coming here since Rich and Kelly opened with their wine tastings to become one of Fredricks finest restaurant Rather it's your first time or a regular you are always treated with outstanding meals and outstanding friendly service Nelson and Pat Tyler

Very nice, the ambiance of the place was my favorite part, almost like I was at a speakeasy. The food was delicious and the service was professional

Always a great experience when we come here. From the moment we walk in until the check is paid it's top notch.

If you are looking for a peaceful place with outstanding food, do not go here. We had reservations at 6:30 for our anniversary dinner. We were seated quickly and just as quick got overcome with the extreme noise from one or more adjacent tables. When we asked about the noise, the waitress said it does get quite loud at dinner time. The restaurant was only open from 4-9 this day. When is it not dinner time? I started with a cup pf crab soup. What I got tasted like a cup of liquified pepper. I stopped trying to eat it when I felt my stomach burning. I do not have a week stomach. When the steaks came they were also quite peppery. The sauce had a large amount of peppercorn in the sauce. I had to make sure the push them out. By the time my wife and I got home we both had upset stomachs and were miserable for most of the night. We will not be back.

This is by far the nicest restaurant I have ever been too. I went on a date with my girlfriend and was absolutely delighted at the atmosphere, service, food, and prices.
It was a somewhat formal restaurant with spacious seating. Table lights had multiple settings and the other diners were fairly quiet and respectful.
The portion sizes were great, and the food itself was absolutely to die for!
We had an amazing time and I can not wait to come back again

Four of us dined here on Saturday, December 27 and it was really busy, but I had one of the best meals that I’ve had in a long time at any restaurant! Every entree and appetizer was delicious and served at the appropriate temperature. My Pork Schnitzel with truffle mushroom sauce over red skinned shallot mashed potatoes was absolutely delicious. I’m already devising a plan to return again for that! Our waitress was attentive, but not intrusive. Even though it was really busy, she did not rush us at all. In my opinion I can always get a solidly delicious meal here and the prices are reasonable. I feel like the menu has a nice variety of foods for everyone.

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

Once again they attempted to seat us in the passageway, but were very accommodating when we refused. Our server Page was perfect and professional without being intrusive. The Rockfish special was delicious as was the burger. The noise level does get intense as the small dining area fills. That said we thoroughly enjoyed the evening and will return

I ordered the Crispy Pork Schnitzel With Truffle Mushroom Cream, Red Skin Shallot Mashed Potatoes . It was by far the best meal I have eaten out in 2025. The food, and service was exceptional. I will be back for my new favorite meal! Thank you!

Steak was a perfect 'well-done', which is difficult, and the waitress was incredible. She remembered which wine I get and brought it without me asking for it! She's cheerful and attentive.

Warm, welcoming atmosphere with an outstanding staff, food and drink. A busy place with an unassuming ambiance and a friendly crowd that seemed to include a lot of regulars. Overall, a totally delightful experience. Loved it !
