    Jojos is a lovely restaurant in a beautifully restored historic building on Patrick Street. They have several seating areas to accommodate their guest and they do take reservations. The service is always wonderful and their craft cocktails are perfectly executed. I love to have a good crabcake when I am in town and their crab cake dinner is one of the best. I love JoJos in Frederick for the ambiance and the amazing dishes they create.

    Crackers in cream of crab soup wasn't

    We made a reservation for our time isn't ready but they tell us to sit at the bar for a little bit until the table is ready for us. It's a nice environment and peaceful. It's good for party and couples date. Food was good. We came back for our 3rd times.

    Berry bourbon smash (or something like that)

    This a great place to meet friends for drinks and appetizers. Service was friendly and attentive - the interior is an elevated pub. I have yet to try a meal here - I usually focus on the cocktails and bites. I would recommend this place to anyone that can't decide on where to meet up - it has something for everyone.

    Not a crab you'd ever want to order. We call these cost reduced mush cakes. Mostly filler and has no crab meat structure.

    Atmosphere is casual and comfortable. Service is attentive. Do not order the crab cakes. Maryland lifer eating seafood says no way. All mush. Philly Cheese Steak was good Cream of Crab Soup was watery, didn't have a rich mouth feel. Ordered Crispy Oysters app. 4 each huge overly breaded oysters. If you're going to eat oysters they should be flour-dusted and quick fried from fresh. These probably were breaded frozen. Didn't taste fresh. This is a very weak 3-star review. In the area of culinary they definitely need some help.

    Absolutely amazing service from William. And the food & ambience was fantastic. Lots of options for dietary needs. Excellent establishment.

    Love this place. The food is delicious, love the ambiance, service is on point and drinks are pretty great as well. Our first visit, we sat in the main dining area. We ordered food and drinks. Their drinks taste really fresh. We tried the blueberry basil smash, as well as the blackberry margarita, which were both very enjoyable. I love the food options at Jo Jos. This was out second visit here, and I love that they offer gluten free options and are aware of allergens. My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich, which was perfectly fried and on a fresh warm brioche bun. I opted for the salmon sliders, which were amazing, and added some truffle fries. It was the perfect late evening meal to go with our drinks. Depending on the day and time, parking on the street may be limited, but there are options in the area. Service here and at the bar is great. Jo Jos is certainly one of my favorite spots while in Frederick, and worth a try when you're in the area!

    Stopped in for a late lunch and was delightful surprised - not super busy which was more to the time of day, then to the quality of the restaurant. They accommodated my request to sit outside as it was beautiful and fun people watching. I decided to pick steak and cheese, offer the brunch menu on a gluten-free bun and a dragon lotus, which was a rum based delicious experience. Service was attentive, food was delicious without being overly excessive in price. (For the area anyway you always pay a premium downtown) and everything came out as requested. I would go here again- this was the dining side and I would probably try the bar side next time. Love that they are separated so you can pick your mood

    Amazing and creative beer and food next to the Frederick MARC Station when we decided to stay a…read morenight in Frederick after my job interview in the area. They have various areas and games you can play. Since it was Monday night it was limited to one area that was still spacious and popular. We loved all the beer and soda cocktail we tried as well as the hot dog pastry and pickled pizza we ate. Our favorite of the beers was the apple butter one we took home a four pack of. It is a ways out from us in Silver Spring. However would love to go back and for them to either put a taproom closer to us and/or ideally but unrealistically run regular MARC service out here as my wife and I do not drive.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but after hosting my husband's 50th birthday celebration at RAK…read moreBrewing in Frederick, I feel compelled to share our experience. We brought a group of approximately 50 guests and spent the entire afternoon and evening there, from 2 p.m. until closing. Given the size of our group, I estimate we spent well over $2,000 on food and drinks. The brewery was relatively quiet when we arrived, and our party filled much of the venue. Unfortunately, we encountered several issues that made what should have been a special celebration feel unwelcome. When we arrived, children were allowed up to a belt divider separating one area of the brewery. Shortly after our group arrived, the divider was removed and we were told that the children--even well-behaved kids around 12 and 13 years old--had to move to a completely different area. This split our group apart despite there being plenty of available space. A couple of hours later, we were told that we could not use our own insulated tumblers to keep our purchased beers cold. This included the birthday guest himself. What made this especially frustrating was that we observed other patrons using tumblers without being asked to stop. The final disappointment came during the birthday celebration. We brought a cake and a sparkler candle. The manager, who I believe was Derrick Erwee, informed us that it was a fire hazard and could not be used. While I understand safety concerns, no alternative was offered, meaning my husband didn't even get the chance to blow out a birthday candle on his 50th birthday. I then asked if our group, including the children, could come together briefly for a photo and to sing Happy Birthday for just a minute or two. The request was denied. This was particularly disappointing given that a storm was happening outside and our group made up a large portion of the customers in the brewery at the time. I spoke directly with the manager to explain how these decisions were affecting our celebration, but he showed little interest in finding a reasonable accommodation or demonstrating basic customer service. I want to be clear that the bartenders were friendly and professional throughout the event. They were not the issue. However, the overall management experience left us feeling unwelcome and disappointed. After investing significant time, money, and effort into planning such an important milestone celebration, I sincerely wish I had chosen another venue. Based on our experience, I would not recommend RAK Brewing for family gatherings, large group events, milestone celebrations, or anyone expecting a customer-focused experience. I am never coming back, nor my 50 guests.

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.

    I arrived at White Rabbit Gastropub around 1:45pm on a beautiful mid-June Saturday for a solo…read moreadventure lunch. I had driven two hours and was hungry, but I was also committed to making good decisions. Or at least mostly good decisions... The hostess offered me a seat at the second-floor bar rather than the quoted 25-30 minute wait. Great! Solo diners love surprise upgrades. Unfortunately, when I got upstairs, the one "available" seat had apparently been claimed by a diaper bag and a giant straw sunhat belonging to the woman sitting next to it holding a too-little-to-walk baby sitting at the bar. Uhhh...this isn't going to work. Back downstairs I went. I gave them my name and number, found a shady spot outside, and settled in for what I assumed would be a long wait. Five minutes later, my table was ready. Thank you, Universe! My server greeted me with water immediately, explained the QR code menu situation, and told me not to order through the app because she'd be right back. No worries, friend. I'd already done my homework. I knew exactly what I wanted. One Martha Stewart's Prison Pizza ($22), please. (Sausage, broccoli, ricotta, Calabrian chili peppers, lemon oil, and sea salt.) I asked for the chili peppers on the side because I know myself. I like adventure. I don't enjoy possibly setting my mouth on fire. And a Diet Pepsi ($3.50), because balance. While I waited, I people-watched, which is one of my favorite hobbies. White Rabbit was PACKED. The patio was full. The downstairs bar was full. Upstairs was full. Couples, groups of girlfriends, older folks, younger folks, families, solo diners...everyone seemed happy to be there. The place itself is pretty small, which explains the wait. Six tables downstairs, maybe eight bar seats, more seating upstairs, and a constant dance of servers carrying food through the same front door customers use. Add the "please wait to be seated" crowd gathering in the narrow hallway and I'd describe things as organized chaos. But once I was seated, I was perfectly comfortable and out of the traffic pattern. One cool touch I noticed: outlets and USB ports built right into the front of the bar. Maybe that's common and I've somehow missed it all these years, but I thought it was pretty neat. Then my pizza arrived. Oh good lawd. OH. GOOD. LAWD. This pizza was SO GOOD! I knew from the first bite that I was in trouble. There was no sauce, which surprised me at first, but after approximately three seconds I no longer cared. The sausage was plentiful. The broccoli added texture. The ricotta was creamy and rich. And that lemon oil?! That lemon oil set it off! Everything just worked together perfectly. The Calabrian peppers arrived on the side exactly as requested. I bravely sampled a very small amount on my fork before desecrating my pizza and quickly determined that folks with stronger heat tolerance than me will absolutely love them. They were just a little too spicy for my delicate tastebuds. Thankfully, the pizza was incredible without them. And those slices? MONSTERS. I ate one and seriously contemplated a second before reminding myself that I had dessert plans elsewhere. A box was requested. Self-control was exercised. Barely. As a solo diner, I also want to give White Rabbit extra points. Multiple staff members checked on me throughout the meal. I never felt forgotten, rushed, or weird sitting by myself. Everyone was warm, kind, and made me feel completely comfortable. I really appreciated that. My total bill came to $32.44 including tip which felt really reasonable given the amount of pizza I consumed and brought home. Worth every penny. I'm already scheming my next two-hour drive back. Maybe a smashburger. Maybe those Brussels sprouts everyone keeps raving about. Maybe another pizza. Maybe all of it! I highly recommend checking out White Rabbit. Make it a destination, not just a stop while you're in the area. Don't let the size of the place or the wait scare you off. It's totally worth it. PRO TIP: If you park in the Church Street Parking Garage, look for the staircase labeled "STAIR 3." White Rabbit is literally right outside the door at the bottom. No hide-and-seek required!
