“ Just had lunch with a group of 4. Server and support staff were awesome. Chesapeake burger, French Dip, Crab Dip, Veggie Wrap and Reuben as well as chili and Roasted Pepper soup were great. Definitely will return. ”
“ We had a casual lunch for 2 on a Tuesday and dined around 12pm. I was surprised to see the restaurant get quite busy by 1pm on a weekday. I was impressed to see beautiful vaulted ceilings with many windows inside the dining area. It made the room feel so big. Lots of seating options indoor and outdoor. They have one wall tv and radio music playing, which we enjoyed. Service was quick, friendly, and laid back. The menu has a wide variety options that made it hard to choose because everything sounded delicious. They also have clean bathrooms and an ATM machine. ”
“ Great crushes and the in house fresh Mozzarella Lancaster on skewers were delicious. Friendly and fun staff. ”
“ Stopped for a late dinner, staff was very friendly, food came out quick and was delicious ”
“ Some of the best food in Frederick. I have been multiple times and have always enjoyed it. 10/10 would recommend. Got the chili dogs and turkey avocado club both were great. The crush bar is also an awesome touch. All of the drinks are delicious and so reasonable priced. Had live music for Summerfest which was a nice touch as well ”
“ I was very impressed with the atmosphere, food, and drinks! I’m a very picky eater and I loved the burger and the kid’s pizza was a good size and very fresh. I also was seated very quickly .. they have plenty of seats outside! They were very busy and my food still came out at a good time. My husband, two kids, and I had a very good time. Also the crush drinks were delicious. I will definitely go back again that it is very near my house and food and drinks are very excellent!! ”
“ It’s been a busy year and I’ve spent more time watching wonderful food on TV than I have spent eating at great restaurants. It’s been so long since I’ve eaten out and experienced so much thought put into a plate. I could almost hear the voice of Anthony Bourdaine (RIP) describing every bite over the chaotic background noise of Sunday morning breakfast. The sausage gravy had tons of smaller than usual bits of sausage and with the seasoning turned out to be the best I’ve had. The perfectly poached eggs and the hollandaise with I’m sure some nutmeg (?) may also be the best I’ve had. The rye toast was an after thought to clean up my plate, and I nearly cried when I saw that Chef buttered my toast. Can’t remember the last time I didn’t have to drag cold butter across my dry toast, spreading the chunks the best I can whilst my food gets cold. This place exudes world class service, and the next time life forces me thru an ihop, I’ll be shaking my proverbial fist at the Derby for not serving breakfast during the week! Well done y’all. ”
“ What a cute little restaurant... atmosphere was awesome, wait staff friendly and the food was probably the best Chesapeake Eggs Benedict I've had in a long time. Also great price for the quality. ”
