“Had your Italian sub yesterday at a conference. So yummy and filling. The bread was so fresh and perfect.”

“great food and very spacious but customer service from sit-down to ordering the food and receiving the food is slow.”

“I just picked up some cupcakes for a birthday/ annual neighborhood get together. I just want to let Kelly know that they absolutely look wonderful. Thank you for the amazing job Cant wait to try one because I know they will be delicious. We love the Buzz . It is so unique and everytime my family visits they always want to go there for breakfast. If you havent been there you are missing a great spot”

“They have friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and wonderful service! They are very accommodating and have delicious food! I recommend them to anyone!”

“The brisket was tender and delicious and we enjoyed trying the variety of barbeque sauces! Good variety of kid friendly foods and deserts too! Very friendly and attentive staff. We will definitely be back!”

“When my family moved to this area over 15 years ago, this place was recommended to us. Still, after all this time, this is the only Chinese place in the area that I will order from, after sampling many in the area (Frederick/MoCo). They have the best hot and sour soup in the area. Actually flavorful. The cream cheese wontons are different, not as crispy as you would expect, but the flavor is great. veggies are always fresh and crunchy, never overcooked. Both the more traditional dishes and the Americanized dishes have great flavors. Food is always ready fast.”

“I've been going to this sub shop for the past 14 years. They've always had great service and great food that's why I keep going back.

Vegetarian options: Veggie sub options available however I am not a vegetarian and I have never tried their vegetarian options.

Parking: Plenty of parking available.

Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves their cookies and lemonade.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have ramps on the sidewalks.”

“Food was great. Atmosphere was cozy. We were a party of 8. Our waiter Barry was very attentive. He added greatly to the whole experience with his jokes and demeanor.”

“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 recommendation is for the brewery ONLY!!!! All the beers I tried were delicious but eat before you go because the food from Brewer's Alley is overpriced garbage.”

“This is by far one of the best bakeries I've been too everything was fresh and very tasty.I Drove all from Hagerstown in the rain to try this place and it was well worth it..You do have to get there early before they sell out..The customer service was the best I have seen for a small business I highly recommend going here and check out their rotating menu because they have monthly specials and seasonal treats..This is a Must Try!!!”

“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.”

“The accommodations and the choices! The smokehouse burger was 11/10. Thanks for remembering our veterans! We will be back”

“Where do I even begin? The pita? Perfect texture and taste. The cherry tomatoes? Obviously fresh, juicy, and sourced from a great farm. The romain? Plentiful and CRISP. The Dill and Taziki sauce? Also VERY fresh, has a citrus kick somewhere, and seems to be made fresh as well. Because it doesn't taste like a store bought sauce filled with preservatives. The hummus? That might actually be where the citrus is from. However, the hummus is not overly salty! You can actually taste the Chickpeas and they use good ingredients as well as olive oil for the hummus too! The chicken? Is in NO way shape or form dry and it's actually seasoned! It's juicy and normal is it overcooked. The olives? Brothers and sisters I HATE olives by themselves, rarely on certain foods. But these olives are not overpowering and stealing the flavor profile, it just adds more depth to the flavor bomb of the Greek chicken Pita! The feta? What could be bettah? Seriously though if you can see this picture you should've seen that they don't skip on the feta either. Again the flavor is ALL the way there but not overpowering. While the texture is almost creamy. Probably with assistance from the sauce but still, it's not overly dry! 10/10 Would recommend & I will be back! Now the facility was spotless, the cleanest "fast food" I've ever seen. The staff? Phenomenonal, personable, kind, attentive to details, and downright superstars that make that place run like clockwork! Wooooo wo weeeee wo!!! If you haven't been here then you've got to go!! Moderate prices, exceptional ingredients, lovely staff, and clean facilities(where the staff actually care like the NW Expressway location in OKC). I'm out, ty for listening to my Ted talk! 🫡”

“This place is a hidden gem! The owner is the one who took care of my order and he was the sweetest man! He recommended the lamb schwarma and the falafel. And they were incredible!! 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!”

“Crumbl Cookies is one of those places that instantly grabs your attention, from the rotating weekly menu to the warm, fresh cookies that hit you with that amazing smell as soon as you walk in. The cookies themselves are super soft, thick, and packed with flavor—definitely more of a rich, dessert-style treat than your average cookie. Some flavors are incredible and feel really unique, while others can be a bit overly sweet, so it kind of depends on what you pick that week.

The presentation is also a big plus—the pink box and neatly arranged cookies make it feel a little more special, almost like a gift to yourself. However, the price is on the higher side compared to regular bakeries, which might not make it an everyday stop for everyone. Overall, Crumbl is worth trying if you’re looking for something indulgent and fun, especially if you enjoy switching things up with new flavors each week.”

“Whenever I plan a trip south from Boston I figure out how to incorporate the white rabbit into the trip. The pizza is something I have dream about.”

“My wife, Ann, and I had brunch there on Aug. 20, 2024.. The food, service and care were wonderful. If you are not vegan this place may cause you to think about taking the dive into becoming 100 % vegan.”

“Pho 52 is one of those rare places where you walk in as a customer and leave feeling like family. From the moment I stepped in, I felt welcomed, cared for, and genuinely appreciated. The pho was incredibly comforting—rich, flavorful, and soothing in a way that feels nurturing to both the body and the soul. You can tell this is real mom-and-pop cooking made with heart and pride. The atmosphere is peaceful, friendly, and warm. It’s not just about the food—it’s about the feeling of being treated like you matter. That’s something special. Pho 52 isn’t just a restaurant to me—it’s a place of comfort and kindness. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟's 😋's YUM'S! I Highly recommended.”

“Amazing food and atmosphere!! Stopped in for dinner on the recommendation of a friend! Definitely impressed!! Would have never of know of this gem without the recommendation! A little off the beaten path!”

“Love the food and the people here! Thanks so much!”
