We had lunch here today. My wife ordered a Ruben, I ordered a Bollinger burger topped with pulled pork and onion rings. We also ordered one Diet Coke and one unsweetened iced tea. My wife graded the Reuben five stars. She said it was very tasty and she enjoyed the crispy toasted bread. I can only give my burger with toppings three Stars. The pulled pork was OK, not as smoky or flavorful as I like. The burger was well done... Although I might've been able to ask for it with a different level of doneness? The coleslaw was OK, but I prefer it not so watery. The potato chips were excellent. The service was excellent, prompt and thorough. The meals were served on metal cooking sheets with parchment paper liners. Interesting plating method but the cold metal cooking sheets soon made the hot sandwiches cold too. Would have been better if the metal cooking sheets were pre-warmed up. Cost of meal was $42 + gratuity read more

We just had breakfast at this quaint rural restaurant. Everyone knew each other! While service was slow, there was so much laughter and fun it didn't matter. The chef cracks jokes, even came to our table to be sure we were pleased. The blueberry pancakes were the best I've had in a long time. read more

The best Reuben in Frederick County!!!! Good fresh cut fries and onion rings. Get the pot meat combo. All the meat is amazing. I wish they would smoke the meatloaf though. read more

Pretty good barbecue joint with a nice atmosphere, a nice bar, and friendly service. The meats are good quality but not terribly tender. The hand cut fries are undercooked and the onion rings are from frozen. read more

The best Reuben I think we've ever had. Pork BBQ sammich was very good. The Carolina red BBQ sauce was slightly tangy and peppery (perfect). The potato salad wasn't my favorite just because the dressing was the Amish style macaroni salad dressing, but I still enjoyed it. I normally prefer a more shredded coleslaw but this one had really good flavor. Good brews!! Very friendly service. Not a big dining area so during busy times you may need to wait for a table. Such a great family friendly restaurant. We will make this a regular stop during our travels on Route 15. read more

I normally try to be understanding, but my experience with this place was honestly unacceptable from beginning to end. When I called to place my carry-out order, the person who answered the phone sounded irritated and completely uninterested in helping me. He answered with "Hi.... Bollingers.... What do you want", and their tone made it feel like I was an inconvenience rather than a customer. When I arrived to pick up the food, the service somehow got worse. I walked in and stood at the counter with no greeting, no eye contact, and no acknowledgment at all. Several staff members looked right at me and still didn't bother to say a single word. I waited there far longer than I should have for someone to finally ask what I needed... something that should happen the moment a customer walks through the door. The lack of professionalism, basic courtesy, and customer service was shocking. Because of how poorly I was treated, I didn't feel comfortable leaving any tip at all. I rarely ever write reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I felt it needed to be said. As much as I love their food I hope management takes a serious look at how their staff interacts with customers. read more

Good home style food. Friendly staff and a very clean restaurant. I liked everything about it. I can't help wondering why I have never heard of this place till now. I'll be back. Give them a try. Oh and I almost forgot they also make craft beer! I didn't try any but my wife got a flight. She couldn't decide which one she liked best. Maybe next time I'll check them out. read more

Food and services was amazing after a nice hike in the mountains! Will come again when we are in the area.

The beer selection is great and the food is always good. We have always had good service.

Amazing! Food was so good and very well priced. Service was great. Job well done all around

My husband and I are new to the area and we enjoy the breakfast dishes. Highly recommended!

Got the old bay wings, they were ON POINT but a pool of greased remained in bottom of the basket. Bad presentation. Got the chicken cheesesteak (pictured). I would NOT get again. You must be specific on everything you want on it or it comes plane with no lettuce, no tomatoe, no Mayo). Also, the chicken was like a frozen chicken steakum. I was expecting real white chicken breast meat on this sub, especially from a BBQ joint. Service was OK, but missed a lot of key things like plates for the apps; extra napkins; making sure we know the sandwiches don't come with lettuce and Mayo and Tomatoe. Ambiance is OK. Liked the chalk board and white washed board walls. Seating felt like I was in a cafeteria. Not sure if it was the tile floor or the weird tables positioned into what should be a booth. Could be improved to make it feel more cozy/warm. read more

I'm not a local. I found this place a couple years ago and came back the other day. Nice selection of home brew beers and ale. I enjoyed the Belgian. I had a delicious brisket sandwich. Bbq sauce on the side. Meat was tender and a good portion. Fresh cut fries were good too. A friend had the sweet potato fries and they looked good too. Friendly staff and reasonable prices! read more

Most delicious Pork bbq, smoked on site. BRISKET, BEEF AND MUCH MORE Definitely a 5 star. We had brisket and smoked beef sandwiche and delicious coconut pie for dessert. (house made) read more

Great food and service. The beer is cold! Nice quiet place. Friendly atmosphere. Best onion rings ever!!

Small hometown diner feel. We tried the cinnamon roll, scrambled eggs, pancakes, and biscuits and gravy. Tables were stocked with Mrs. Butterworth syrup- not exactly what I am looking for when I go out to breakfast. Nothing was noteworthy. Service was friendly. Quality was equivalent to hangover-acceptable food. read more

How many reason stop here I love chef inspired food. The Bellinger takes the cake. Their beer is handcrafted. Taste never found anywhere else. Mix it with some food. You have gone to heaven or bliss to the rest. In Las Vegas the Mexican meet that reaches five stars birria . In Pennsylvania, it is called Brisket. read more

Sit wherever you like. Wasn't busy on Saturday at 11:00am. They were closing early because of the holiday at noon. Loved the stainless steel coffee cups but hated the coffee. Two sips and that was enough for me. Not too friendly with us but definitely had a good relationship with the regulars. I ordered the steak and eggs. Rare. By the color of the steak which was gray, I think it was microwaved. Not a fan, sorry. Did like the rye toast. I tasted my daughters sausage and cheese omelet. Again maybe it's the sausage used but we didn't like it. My husband however got the French toast and that was a winner ! Breakfast is usually a safer bet when going out to eat but this time not for these road worriers ! read more

Such great food and service. The build a potato was pricey but I put everything on it. The rest of the menu I thought was very reasonably priced. The food was delish. We enjoyed it all along with an adult slushie. Def going back. read more

What a gem! We got to the restaurant at 11:30am and they were able to seat our group of six right away! They have indoor and outdoor seating and the interior feels cozy and clean. The staff here is spectacular. They are bubbly, sweet, salt-of-the-Earth people. Darlene waited on our table and she made recommendations on the menu that did not disappoint! We were informed that we could order from either the breakfast or lunch menu. Both menus had great selections. They also have daily specials on the chalkboard wall in the front room. I ordered an 8oz brisket sandwich with fries. The brisket was moist and tender. It was one of the tastiest brisket sandwiches I have ever had. The fries are noteworthy. read more

Great family owned and run restaurant! The food is delicious! Some of the best BBQ in the area! The service is awesome! The waitress' are very attentive and friendly! read more

In the area for Colorfest and decided to stop by Bollingers for a sit down lunch. As a rainbow couple, we are always aware of our surroundings and recognize that service may not necessarily be consistent with what other families enjoy. I have to tell you, we were pleasantly surprised with how welcoming and friendly our server, Darlene, was. The food was fresh and tasty. Servings were ample. But, it was the way that Darlene made us feel welcome, despite how crazy busy they were, that made our lunch one of the best we've had in years. Will definitely return in the future. read more

I just had an amazing BBQ lunch with my wife. What an amazing experience. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and extremely hospitable. I live in Frederick Md and all of the. BBQ falls short in my opinion. I've tried all types of Barbecue from Md to Texas and this is right up there with some of the best BBQ I've ever had. They have cool merch for sale and killer beers on tap brewed on site. If you love great bbq and fun friendly environment do yourself a favor and check them out. I will be back very soon. read more

Wonderful breakfast and awesome desserts! Service is great and we love the country decor!

Had a great lunch at Bollinger's. The Onion Ring Tower was really good. Rings were crispy and not greasy and good sauces. Highlight of the meal was the Reuben. Definitely recommend. Beef brisket was a bit dry but still good. And their baked potatoes are quite good. read more

Found this place by accident after standing in a cold rain to pick up a turkey. Nice place, service great. It's probably the only place in thurmont with someting on draft other than American lite crap beer ..oops I meant craft. Hot dogs were good and the bloodies Don't miss this place if your in the area. read more

Wonderful food and great home-town atmosphere! Great meal for a large family on wing night but so many other great options around our table. Hard to take photos before the food was devoured. Great service from everyone, very attentive and accommodating to both kids and grown ups. read more

I expected to get some good BBQ at this place, due to their high ratings. I went in, was seated, and placed my order. I didn't order a drink, just a water, as this place is gouging people with sodas and iced teas at $3.25 a piece. They also charge a fee for credit cards, which is also gouging. If you don't like paying credit card fees, then just raise your prices 3% and don't try to rip people off. Who carries cash nowadays? Anyway, I sat there for about 25 minutes, like an idiot, as no food ever came out. My waitress walked past me a good 30 times, never made eye contact and never said anything like "your food will be out shortly," or "sorry, we have a delay in your order, it will be a few more minutes." Nothing. I just got up and left, unnoticed by the staff. Very disappointing. I think this place is probably great for locals, as everyone knows each other there, but if you're not a local, it seems you may be ignored, like I was. read more

First time at the area and will be back! Food was fantastic. My husband got country fried stake and a house beer "I'm not gonna get rich". I got a hot Pitt sandwich. The gravy on both of them was killing me. Delicious. read more

Hands down, the best breakfast I ever had! The waffles have a great malty flavor, cooked to perfection, and the sausage! Homemade, generous and delicious . The food and service was so good, I was a repeat customer for the entire time I was in Thurmont, MD. Even the patrons were friendly to us. We felt like family! If you're ever in or around Thurmont, you must stop by! read more

Great people and excellent food. I highly recommend the restaurant and the home town feel.

Love the fact that Thurmont has a good BBQ place now. Good food, good beer, good service.

First time there it was pretty good. I had the Ruben. Pretty decent amount. The thing on the menu that I wanted was the fresh cut French fries. They are very good. Second time there, not good at all. I had it to go. I ordered the hot dog, and a Swiss cheeseburger with mushroom. The bun had some kind of stamped on saying on it. It was also cold, and seemed not to fresh. They simply put like cold mushrooms on it as well . I also ordered the hot dog. Again it was cold, decent size, but costly for a hot dog. If you don't ask for the fresh cut fries, they give you the frozen version. Better off getting them free at Burger King! It's a nice establishment, definitely family owned which is nice, but the prices are high. Very disappointed this time around. read more

Food was outstanding. Service was great but lots of screaming kids in front room. I'll try again soon!

Excellent barbecue. The brisket was to die for just so tender. I am coming here again.

Been here three times !!Really enjoy this restaurant!All the waitress our really nice and welcoming very home like feel love that they have fireplace lit so cozy !The food is awesome !Onion ring tower with two kinds of sauces yummy !!Brisket is good and broccoli slaw just like I would make it at home !!Highly recommend this place !! read more

Great food! Great service! Needs more room though! Should have more seating inside! Would definitely recommend

Heading back to VA from Gettysburg and found this gem on the way. Staff was very nice, definitely a home town kinda place as in everyone seemed to know each other. Food was delish. We also had the raspberry chocolate cheesecake not pictured because my husband and I devoured it. The sandwich was delightful and the fries were so great and crispy they were some of the best I've had, ever. The country fried steak was wow. It was crispy on the outside and that gravy was something out of this world. The Mac and cheese, home cooked for sure making it amazing. I recommend this place 100%. read more
