Behrad EatsJanuary 27, 2014The Burger is a must have, probably one of the best burgers I've experienced. It comes topped with cheddar, bacon and caramelized onions. Order it medium-rare, bite in and enjoy!
Ken FragerJuly 25, 2013I never would've expected the quality of food, exceptional service and comfortable setting in a renovated car dealer in Frederick... but it's all three. We'll definitely be back!
Will HarveyMay 6, 2014Really nice place. The name suggest we we're about to hit up a Denny's but it's more of a gastropub with a lot of mixing flavors and new types of dishes. No complaints (aside from change the name) :-P
Natalie AnilloJuly 6, 2015Fried chicken plate is delicious but huge - 4 pieces of fried chicken (leg, wing, breast, and thigh) + 2 chives and cheese biscuits + assorted vegetables and pickles
Be ShivelyJuly 27, 2013Went for the first time for Saturday brunch. The staff was absolutely wonderful helping my chaotic family of 4 (with 2 kids under 3.5 years). Food was delicious and I wanted to stay for lunch :)
MaryMay 5, 2013This place is a perfect example of a restaurant making good food with simple ingredients. The Strata and Pineapple Mint Waffles are amazing. Everything is housemade - right down to the hot sauce.
Patrick BowlAugust 10, 2013If you were once a couple who loved to eat out at great places but then you had kids and found yourself eating more at Dennys- this place will rescue you. Kid-friendly, but with the great food!
Fantastic prawns w grits & gravy, fried green tomatoes, & lemon meringue pie. Simple classics done perfectly w a twist. Service just ok, a few minor annoyances, but the food more than makes up for it!
The best breakfast spot in Frederick. FM is also a good option for lunch and dinner. FM helps make the point that downtown Frederick is THE place for better food. One of Frederick's best.
JonAugust 2, 2015Onion rings, deviled eggs, lemonade, catfish, fried chicken....strawberry shortcake doughnuts. Awesome
Barry CampbellJanuary 14, 2017The chicken and the onion rings are pretty good I love they do they serve Mexican Coca-Cola is it core in the furniture is not the most comfortable
Cole KnightApril 6, 2016Exceptional food and a fun drink menu; one of the best restaurants in Frederick, easily
The Baltimore SunSeptember 11, 2012From our review: "There is a perfect fried chicken supper" with "marvelously crispy" skin. Fried green tomatoes and chicken pot pie fritters are "note-perfect." Read more:
Samantha EvansMarch 10, 2013Best fried chicken. Better then lady and sons ( sans other comment ) perfectly seasons and crispy. If your not into that get the mushroom risotto. Drinks are perfect too.
Corey HighlandJune 29, 2012The fried chicken is to die for! I couldn't even finish the while meal! Service is impeccable and they even have a full bar!
What's Good HereAugust 7, 2014Start your meal with the wedge salad (little gem lettuce, bacon, gorgonzola). Refreshing.
Slow cooked chicken wings, fried chicken and biscuits, donut holes. Everything was amazing!
Jason KnauerJuly 9, 2012Suppress your snickers and give "precious comfort food" a try. The fried chicken is very good, not Lady and Sons good, but really good and the chicken pot pie bites are other worldly.
Robert TreatJuly 2, 2016If you are into root beer, they have "adult" root beer floats, made with root liquor, ice cream, and marshmallows.
Angela WhiteJune 10, 2016I could drink their coffee black, which is a testament to how great it is. I wish they delivered to DC!!!- What's Good HereAugust 7, 2014Order the Southern chicken with buttermilk biscuits, pickles, hot sauce. Fantastic!
Kinda pricey for some items, but the food is always fantastic quality. Try the chicken pot pie fritters or the bourbon ice cream for a real treat!
Angie StevensonMarch 23, 2013Hostess was awesome! Service was good. Pimiento cheese appetizer... amazing! Pickled veggies... awesome! Fried Chicken dinner... meh. Macaroni and Cheese... meh. Sweet tea... good.
Nate BoatengSeptember 14, 2016Fried chicken was great. Very good food overall. Respectable beer list. Great place.
David JacobsonNovember 26, 2018Service was great! Limited menu but meals were good but pricy I think. Vanilla Milkshake tasted like frozen milk. Would eat there again but maybe try something different.
FletcherMarch 21, 2015Fried chicken and duck fat fries are amazing! So much to choose from I must come back!
Beth PenningtonJuly 11, 2013The pancakes were almost bitter tasting. The coffee was very bitter. The bacon was perfect and the home fries were as well. Even though I was the only diner the waitress seemed eager for me to leave.
Reagan BarbosaNovember 5, 2016The shakes are super delicious, and the banana-butterscotch pudding is a must!- Natalie AnilloJuly 6, 2015Must get the chicken pot pie fritters - it's like bite size chicken pot pie in a fried shell.
Zach TinneySeptember 29, 2012Good food, great service and one of the only places I've seen around where you can get a coke in a glass bottle
Fantastic service and delicious shrimp and grits. Chicken pot pie fritters were just meh.
The fried chicken is 4 pieces of chicken which is enough to bring a piece or two home for dinner/lunch. The chocolate milkshake is good with the marshmallow but not worth the $5.
Angela ChaseJuly 3, 2012Want a cocktail? Order a French 75... Yummy and not too sweet but a little bit sour.
- Chicken Pot Pie Fritters are amazing. You must order them.
Margo PJune 24, 2013Fried chicken salad sandwich- not so much. Duck French fries were a total score. Reservations are a good idea but we didn't have to wait too long.
- S. California introduced fish tacos to the US. A good portion of my life was spent in SoCal. FM's fish tacos fit easily among the best of SoCal. Nothing around here even comes close. The fish is Opah!
