    Outstanding food. Good service. Ambiance needs work...music too loud, flashing lights. Overall a great find in Frederick!

    I love this place! We came here on a lazy snowy Saturday right as it opened, and we got a great…read moretable right by the window. It filled up fast, and there was a lively bar crowd, and also an engagement party celebration upstairs. All of the servers were so friendly, and happy to share their favorite dishes and beers, etc. We started with the wings, which were great, and then we had the house salad with salmon and the burger and fries. OK, I did not order the burger and fries, but my boyfriend did, and I ate half the fries on his plate, they were that good! Great, friendly, with generous pours for wine, and just a really friendly, great place with perfect food for a winter day. I wish I could find a place like this in Washington, DC.

    I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. The…read morefood was overpriced and incredibly salty. There's a lot of potential here, but when your wagyu burger costs more than Le Diplomate's iconic burger in DC, I'm expecting something amazing. Every ingredient was very seasoned on its own, but when combined, the burger was overwhelmingly salty. I could barely taste anything besides salt. The cocktails were also overly sweet, and I regrettably had to send them back a couple of times. That said, our waiter's service was excellent. But this place needs a lot of improvement. Way too salty, too greasy, and overpriced.

Stopped into True Standard Distilling during the Frederick St. Patty's Day bar crawl and the place was absolutely buzzing all day. As a rum distillery, everything on the cocktail menu leans rum which makes things interesting, especially when they remix classics that usually feature other spirits. I tried their take on a negroni and it was surprisingly really well done. It kept that familiar bitter and balanced profile but with a unique rum twist that made it stand out. The interior was unexpected but in a good way. They were still fully committed to a Valentine's Day theme with pink everywhere and a massive faux chocolate candy wall right when you walk in. It honestly felt like stepping into a mini Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, which added a fun and memorable touch. Despite the crowd, service was quick and efficient. The bartenders clearly knew what they were doing and kept drinks moving without sacrificing quality. Overall, this is a great, high-energy stop if you're spending the day drinking your way around Frederick. Definitely worth popping into, especially if you want something a little different from the usual beer spots.

    I love this place! It's a cozy, rustic, farm vibe with elegance. I love the aesthetic and…read moreatmosphere of this place. The service was good. The Chicken pot pie fritters were so good, lovedddddd these! It didn't need the sauce though but it was still a pleasant addition to the fritter. The pimento cheese plate with pickles and biscuit was quite the perfect and delicious pairing. I wouldn't have never thought I'd love the combination! The reuben was absolutely deliciously perfect and the fries that came alongside were fresh and absolutely delicious. You can't go wrong with the Mac and cheese either. Very good! I truly loved every single thing we ordered. I was impressed to say the least. Everything was perfectly and thoughtfully flavored. There was nothing that was overpowering. What a delicious and wonderful meal!

It wasn't the best Reuben I ever had, but it wasn't bad either. The fries could've probably been a little crispier. My wife got the crabcake, but there seem to be too much sauce on the sandwich so she had to just eat it with a fork. Taste wise it was OK. Again not the best one we've ever had, but not bad. My son got the salmon with the vegetables, which was pretty amazing. The salmon was tender and tasty. The vegetables were cooked in oil apparently, and delicious. No complaints there. For dessert, I got the ice cream sandwich, which could actually feed two people. I really enjoyed it but couldn't finish it because it was just massive. My wife got the crustless strawberry cheesecake, which she thought was a little different, but still good. The wait staff was very good, so no complaints there. Overall, I would probably eat here again.
