“Outstanding! I am up here for work from Florida, and as many times as I have been to Frederick, I can't believe I have not eaten here sooner. The atmosphere is wonderful! There is nothing better than the smell of smoked BBQ filling the air. Ample parking, and I love the location. The food is fantastic! I had the potato salad, sweet potatoes, and 2 meats (Arkansas Brisket which are burnt tips and Hot Links). The platter comes with pickled onions, pickles, and cornbread. It did not disappoint. Plus the original BBQ which comes with it, had an interesting flavor. Sweet and vinegary, with a little heat, which was nice. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for some good BBQ.“

“We had an excellent meal here today! The service was fast and pleasant, the food was outstanding and when I asked for a to-go box they brought me an extra bag of chips to take with me. We will be back!!“

“I rated the 'food' 5-stars, for the 'food' at Pathfinder Farm Distillery is premium moonshine crafted into special cocktails. I had the flight to sample 4 and all were delicious. My wife opted for the pumpkin nog. It was so delicious she had a second! We found this place through a Facebook event. There was live music outside by Odie and the Country Band. It was delightful. Especially after I had a shot of their Bloody Butcher Bourbon! We had the pleasure of meeting the parents of the owners while there. It is a relaxed and cozy environment and the people we met were all friendly and warm. Can you tell we had a good time?!“

“Great crowd, drinks, and food!“

“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.“

“Wings on Thursdays are the BEST!“

“Amazing Avenue to Play Music!! Half/Bad First Gig with Frederick Rock-School Adult Band Showcase!!“

“An amazing private club they have just about anything you want to do from karaoke to pool to darts even gambling machines. Food is amazing and the prices are good. Bartenders are great. Jess is amazing and on top of everything. Put my hands together for Paul for keeping such an amazing place. They have pool leagues on Mondays Tuesdays Wednesdays Thursdays and Friday nights so come join us on the APA. There's only one downfall and that's the parking. During the weekday evenings it's very hard to find a parking place close to the establishment because of the new fitness club. But other than that it's a great place to go with a great atmosphere come join us.“

“If brunch had a heartbeat, it would sound like Nola on a sunny weekend morning. The moment you walk in, the place wraps you in good energy—warm, lively, and just a touch Southern in spirit.And then there’s Kaylee, our brunch guardian angel. She was superb from start to finish—thoughtful, upbeat, and armed with the kind of helpful charm that makes you feel like you’re dining at a friend’s kitchen table (a very talented friend with a great cocktail menu).Speaking of cocktails, Nola’s drinks are perfectly curated. The Bloody Mary is an event in itself—spicy, tangy, and artfully balanced. The Lox Benedict, meanwhile, earns a standing ovation: rich, delicious comfort with a little twist of brilliance.Between Kaylee’s fantastic care, the exceptional food, and the joyful hum of the place, Nola doesn’t just serve brunch—it delivers the kind of experience that lingers with you long after the last sip. I highly recommend.“
