“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Booking Sage Cakery to make our wedding cake was one of the highlights of the wedding. As someone that loves cakes, I was so looking forward to trying Sage on my wedding day and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of their cakes. My husband generally doesn’t like cake as much, but even he loved the ones they made for us. The blackberry sage was a huge hit, and the decoration on the cake could not have been more stunning. It was exactly what we asked for and more. They worked with us too to add a topper my mom made for us and it looked perfect on top of the beautiful cake. We can’t wait to get another cake from them on our anniversary!“

“I recently visited Hornets Nest Grille and it quickly became one of my favorite local spots. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, casual, and genuinely welcoming — the kind of place where you can relax whether you’re meeting friends, bringing family, or just grabbing a great meal. The food was outstanding. Everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the menu offers a solid mix of comfort food classics and creative options. It’s the kind of place where you struggle to decide what to order because everything sounds good. Service was just as impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home without being intrusive. Drinks came quickly, food arrived hot, and we never felt rushed — a perfect balance. What really sets Hornet’s Nest apart is that authentic “local gem” vibe. It doesn’t feel corporate or cookie-cutter; it feels like a true community restaurant where people know each other and take pride in what they do. If you’re in the Damascus area and looking for a dependable spot with great food, fair prices, and welcoming service, Hornet’s Nest Grille is absolutely worth a visit. I’ll definitely be coming back.

“Love this place!! our definite go to soda shop for ordering soda!! They have a huge selection, super friendly and efficient customer service, and super fast shipping!! And every bottle comes individually well wrapped and secure, so nothing ever breaks!! Thanks guys!!“

“I have been going to Tom and Rays since the old location. What makes them stand out is the cost conscience menu, fresh tasting food, and a staff mostly local high school kids that are professional with can do attitude. Right now I’m raving about something as simple as stewed tomatoes as a complementary side dish. Their breakfast foods including creamed chipped beef fresh. Their lunch and dinner foods bring you back, especially the open faced beef sandwich with mash potatoes and gravy, to a simpler time. Check out their menu and ask them about their pies.“

“Our first time coming here and won’t be our last! They have the best burgers and shakes!“

“Best restaurant in Frederick. Every dish is thoughtfully created, plated, and served. Fresh, festive, and fun with options for all. I really appreciate they offer organic and vegan options. Enjoy!!“

“The atmosphere of this location was impeccable. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a charming host by the name of Jean. He quickly seated me, and I was served by a lovely waiter named Emerson. The food was good, I ordered the toonkotsu ramen. The dessert was also impeccable, I was served the croissant pudding. The overall atmosphere and food leads to five stars.“

“This food is amazing. who would've thought to dedicate a whole restaurant to pizza and Pretzels...idk but they're a freaking genius. the Calzone's are so good. The pizza and Pretzels are delicious. I love this place.“

“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.“

“One of the better Indian restaurants I've been to in the Hagerstown Frederick area“

“So fresh I went back the next day! No seriously—this sushi was insanely fresh. Like, melt-in-your-mouth, caught-this-morning type of fresh. I thought I was just treating myself once… but I was back the next day like a full-blown sushi addict. Everything from the fish to the rice to the vibe was on point. If you’re even thinking about it—just go. You’ll see why I couldn’t stay away.“

“Our server Gyu-won P was top notch. Attentive but not annoying.“

“great atmosphere and awesome food“

“Great little "Corner Coffee Shop" in the heart of Downtown Frederick. Friendly Staff, promotes other Local businesses, tasty sandwiches & treats. Coffee any way you like it..hot, cold, latte, frozen. Love the outdoor patio...and that they're Pet Friendly!“

“Sabor de Cuba is amazing! One of the few places in the DMV you can get real, authentic Cuban food and for a pretty good price. The service is amazing as well! Especially Delaney and Luciana are super nice and helpful, but everyone who works there is great. Food comes out super fast and is always delicious. The atmosphere is perfect, whether you want a place to catch up with some friends and family, a place to celebrate special occasions, or just a place to relax before or after work. Would 100% recommend the pargo frito, the picadillo, and of course the sandwich cubano.“

“Excellent quality food, love the decor, staff was friendly and attentive, super-sized meals. Nothing bad to say about this restaurant ... will visit again for sure!“

“Thanks to Frederick Social for being awesome! We recently hosted an informal reunion gathering for about 30 people for The Frederick Children's Chorus and they were very thoughtful, accomodating, and communicative in our planning process. We had plenty of space reserved inside. The doors were open since it was beautiful weather and we also enjoyed the outdoor seating and flexibility of being able to get our own drinks while catching up. My favorite menu items have been the lentil sliders and the flatbread pizzas. I’ve also been there to get work done on quiet weekdays for meetings, and have enjoyed other events they host like Historians on Tap and karaoke nights. Overall great place and lovely owners! They often partner with local nonprofits and charities each month and is great to see ongoing community support in this way. It will remain in my rotation of Frederick spots for sure!“

“We found this place while visiting in the area and looking for something nice. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was nothing short of amazing.“

“Magoos Tavern is the GOAT.“

“First night that Manhattan Pizza had a live band! They did a wonderful and entertaining presentation. Food and selections were delicious. Owner Brian was very warm and welcoming. And Sumi was a delight! Very energetic atmosphere. Will be back..!“

“Great stop for personal pizza. You can customize with different sauces and cheeses. The mini is pretty small but the medium size is a solid portion for a great price. They also have plant based cheese and plant based sausage which is a great option for vegan eaters. Really liked the pesto sauce and the buffalo! Very nice service!“

“Consistently great pizza, and amazing selection of various pasta dishes. I've learned that the kids size pasta is definitely enough for one person. I come here every so often with my kids, they like it and there is a very friendly neighborhood vibe here. I've always had great pizza here, and their pasta dishes are really fantastic! Glad to have this restaurant in the near vicinity for sure. Always good service.“

“This place has the BEST Pho, food! I have been telling all my friends and family about this place. Though, I do want to share an odd experience we had 2 nights ago. We were a party of 3, all ordered Pho soup and summer rolls. We got our food but had to ask several times for the sprouts and peppers that come with it. After the 3rd request, the waitress said, well we don't always give that because we are running low. WHAT? First, who orders Pho and doesn't expect to get the sprouts? Second, if they were running low, isn't that something she should have disclosed when we ordered? I understand there may be a few people who don't use the condiments, but in that case, ask?! When we said the 4th time we wanted the sprouts etc, she definitely had an attitude. We had to ask multiple times for water, honey for our tea. The service sometimes leaves a little to be desired, and the wait times are not often accurate, but the food is excellent!“

“It was my birthday 🎂! The staff is very polite, helpful just overall nice ! I love this fact, the manager came over to see if all was going well 👍! The atmosphere is buzzing with warmth to take care of the customers👏👏😍. Thank YOUUUUUU for making my day special 💓“

“Love this place! The owner has always been kind and the food has always been great.“
