My food did come out 15 minutes later than my pal. Was kinda weird. My only complaint is their service process. You have to go up and order at the bar your food and drink. Yep! Spent $50. By myself and I had to stand in line if I wanted another drink/water or if I needed anything that wasn't on the table. Asking questions about the menu you have stand in line. Ridiculous process. They lose 2 stars for that alone. A restaurant/bar is about the food/drink and service. They only have half of that right. I hope they change this. I've been in the service industry most of my life and it's one of two things. 1. Servers/bartenders cannot handle doing both tasks. Or. 2. They're lazy and rather make you wait.

Casual dining, decent sandwich and appetizer selections. Saturday night had a DJ, and the crowd switched from older adults at 6 to younger adults as the evening went on.

Faster service at a sit down place where we could watch some of the other bowl games. There are plenty of TVs and we watched the pop tart bowl, Pinstripe bowl, and the Fenway Bowl. The service was really good. We had two servers (who also tended the bar) and checked on us regularly. My son had old bay, boneless wings. He really enjoyed them. I had the Chesapeake Flatbread. It was fantastic and I would highly recommend it.

I'm staying at the Hampton In & was yelping to look for a place to eat. I asked the front desk…read moreabout a restaurant near the hotel- but she & the General Manager asked if I had eaten at The Beacon? They raved about the menu and asked if I would try it & report back to them, good or bad. I ordered the appetizer Cesar salad which was fantastic! As you can see pictures the lettuce was crisp & green with the appropriate amount of dressing- you can add a protein- I chose not to as this was an appetizer. I also ordered the pulled pork sliders. The meat was cooked to perfection, the slaw was delicious on the slider, and the bun was fantastic- this was THE best pulled pork slider I've had. I can recommend The Beacon is a place I will revisit when I am back in this area.

The servers work hard and are always attentive. Sometimes there is a bit of confusion when the person who delivers the food was not the same one that took the order -- the food sometimes being taken to the wrong table. The grill master is the one major variable when I order burgers. For one thing, I usually do not get the advertised full discount for the Wednesday night special. Things like cheese and add-ons can run up the burger a bit, but there always seems to be an automatic charge for cheese (either $1 or $2 up-charge) which I do not order. That is why I say I usually don't get the full advertised discount. Aside from that, there is wide variation in how the meat is cooked. "Medium" one night can be "Medium rare" or "Well-done" depending on the person on the grill. You best not order it "Well-done" unless you want to risk it being dry and crispy. The tacos are always excellent. Grilled or fried, either way is a diner's delight. The sauce has a nice burn without being too spicy. The two-taco meal may be enough for most diners with the three-taco portion being quite enough to satisfy. As far as putting Memories Charcoal House on my dining list, I will continue to patronize the establishment for its friendly atmosphere, cordial staff and wide variety of menu items.

We got there ariund 4pm on a Saturday. It was 4th of July, but we were able to find street parking. And because it was a holiday, we didn't have to pay for parking! When we walked in, the bar was prettyfull, but there were plenty of high tops by the bar that were open. They have 3 TVs set up in the bar area, playing the soccer games. We got there at the perfect time. Our server came and took our drink orders. I went with a classic guava margarita, which I really enjoyed. We ordered tacos, carne and birria and the mixed pupusas. Everything was really good with great flavor. I was very impressed. We stayed for most of the game, and it got pretty busy. They also have a dining area in the back, which also has tvs set up. I would definitely come back and try other options on the menu. This will be a go to in Frederick for sure! Great place for food, drinks, and to watch the games.

I swear i would have made a health inspector report but the amount of steps needed is not worth it. I ordered Chicken over rice, chicken quesadilla, chicken tenders, gyro platter (substituted lamb for grilled chicken), and a 12" meat lovers pizza. The chicken over rice was basic and lacking in flavor. The tenders were bland and not seasoned. The gyro platter also lacked seasoning and flavor. The sauces provided were spoiled. The pizza was worse than a frozen DiGiorno option. The chicken quesadilla is what got me sick. It had a terrible taste, like if the chicken was not properly handled or like it was cross-contaminated with oil used to cook fish. Overall i would give zero stars and urge their kitchen get inspected.
