Showroom is one of those rare restaurants where you can see leadership in the details. The food is excellent, but what impressed me most was how well the whole experience comes together. Nothing feels random. A few standouts: the Shrimp and Grits were terrific, the Chicken Pot Pie Fritters were creative without trying too hard, and the Chicken & Waffles absolutely delivered. I also love that the Family Meal Fried Chicken is Bryan Voltaggio's recipe. That kind of connection to a clear point of view matters. A lot of restaurants can make a good dish. Far fewer can build a place where the food, service, atmosphere, and execution all line up. Showroom does that, and Frederick is better for it. read more

I love this place! It's a cozy, rustic, farm vibe with elegance. I love the aesthetic and atmosphere 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! read more

This is a safe bet...usually everyone enjoys what they get...but nothing to rave about. We tried the Family Fried Chicken Meal w garlic mashed potatoes and the chicken was crispy and juicy - no complaints. The cheesesteak was good- could barely taste the horseradish aioli and the bread was soft and a little too filling. I could only heat half. The fries are always on point so don't skip out. And we love the coleslaw here. The place is usually packed- they have a nice outdoor area with coverage for weather. read more

I've had the pleasure of dining at four of Bryan Voltaggio's other restaurants in the past, and while this visit was pleasant, I'd have to say it was the least impressive of the bunch. It isn't a "bad" review by any means, but the food was a bit more average than I've come to expect from this group. The highlight of the visit was undoubtedly our server, Nate. He was highly professional and truly everything anyone could ask for in a server. The level of hospitality he provided helped elevate the afternoon into a very pleasant experience. While the meal was enjoyable, the food felt somewhat average compared to the high bar set by Voltaggio's other spots: * Nashville Hot Chicken ($15.00): Ordered with a side of Napalm Sauce and substituted fries for chips ($3.00). In my opinion, it could have been a bit hotter had it been made to order. * Showroom Steak and Cheese ($19.00): A solid centerpiece to the meal. * Drinks: We paired the meal with a Riesling ($11.00) and an East Street Old Fashioned ($15.00). The total for the meal came to $81.07, including a $13.51 tip for Nate's stellar service. This is a great spot for a professional and well-paced meal, but if the kitchen can dial in the temperature and "made-to-order" feel of the dishes, it would easily earn that final star. read more

Overall, a pretty good experience. I was looking for a decent brunch spot in Frederick and showroom came up as a good option. Came in on a Sunday and it was pretty packed. Usually a good sign that the food is tasty to have people lining up to get in. It was just a short wait until we were able to be seated. The service was great. the waiter came over and let us know that he would be a minute because he was serving a large party. He did drop off menus and water. They put an entire bottle of water so you are free to serve yourself and refill as many times as You need. For an appetizer, we ordered the pot pie fritters. They were kind of like hush puppies stuffed with chicken and vegetables. The breading was interesting because it was actually Ritz crackers. It was very good and a different flavor than I'm used to. For my meal, I chose the chicken and waffles. My only complaint was that the chicken was not seasoned very much. However, it was moist inside and crispy on the outside. The waffle was cooked perfectly. But they did not include butter with it, though you can eat it without. It was all drizzled with a small amount of honey as well. The best part was their hot sauce. It reminded me a little bit of Frank's red heart, but it had a sweet flavor to it. I usually steer clear of the super hot hots. So, it was right up my alley. To rinse everything down I ordered the mimosa flight. It came with four 8 ounce pours so I was able to sample all of their different varieties. They had a traditional orange, a pineapple, a cranberry, and a cider. The cider one pretty much tasted like a sparkling cider. I think my favorite one was the traditional orange. Overall, the service was great. Waiter was very friendly and attentive. The food I could go either way on, but it was mostly good. I would come back again in the future, but it would not be my first option. read more

We have been to the showroom several times, mostly for breakfast but twice for dinner. We were there two nights ago. I got the Reuben sandwich with fries. My wife got the shrimp poor boy with fries. Both meals were a 10 out of 10! This place never disappoints. I would highly recommend going here. As I side note if any anybody from the Showroom reading this. They tried to stick us in a corner and we asked for a different table because at least half the tables were empty. Three other groups came in after us they tried to put them in the same corner with many open tables. You should fill up the best tables 1st if you get there late you get what you get. Nobody wants to sit and eat dinner staring at a wall. read more

I visited last weekend for lunch on a Friday. It was my first time here and I was solo so I sat at the bar. I started with their hazy ipa beer which was tasty. I ordered the chicken salad blt sandwich and upgraded to onion rings for an additional charge. The bartender wasn't great at multitasking when it was only me and one other couple at the bar. My food sat in the window forever before someone brought it to me. The sandwich wasn't bad but it fell all over the place while trying to eat it. The order came with three onion rings which were the most heavily battered onion rings I ever had. That wasn't a good thing. I assumed with paying several extra dollars for them it would come with the bacon Horseradish sauce that they are served with on the appetizer menu. I had to ask for it. My dirty plate with the napkins on top sat in front of me for a bit before the bartender figured out I was ready to go. I wasn't that impressed and probably won't be back. read more

I was in the area for an event and I'm so happy I came by this place! Everything on their menu sounded delicious, but I ended up going with the hot chicken sandwich with fries and I was very impressed. The chicken was decently spicy, but it did need a little bit of salt. The sandwich had a huge piece of chicken in it so I appreciate them not skimping. Their fries OMG - might actually be top 3 fries I've ever had. They were crispy on the outside and super soft on the inside. It had some seasoning on it with old bay and salt. The mac and cheese was also delicious and I'm usually not a fan of restaurant mac and cheese. The service was decent. My waitress was a little slow but it was fine I wasn't in a rush. The restaurant is super clean and spacious, super modern. Love this place, if I'm ever back in the area I'm coming back! read more

Came here with some friends. It was my first time going there. Parking is plentiful (the area is shared by others, but there are still many spots available). At first glance at the menu, I did not know what to order as there were many items I was interested in. I eventually settled on the following: Breakfast Sandwich - menu describes it as scrambled eggs with cheddar, bacon, avocado, and made on a choice of brioche bun, white, rye, or wheat. The dish is served with breakfast potatoes. There are some extra items on the menu for this meal, but next time I'll need to get proper clarification on it. The sandwich was great even though my eggs surely did not look scrambled. I would get it again, but maybe on a different type of bread. The potatoes were seasoned perfectly and there were a lot of them on the plate. I also ordered a Strawberry Marshmallow Milkshake - described as having vanilla ice cream, strawberry jam, marshmallow and cookie crumbs. It was served in a very tall glass with a lot of extra leftovers in another tin cup. I really enjoyed it and could taste the strawberry flavor. The cookie crumbs were on the rim. The only negative, is that the paper straws they offered just was not working for me - I ended up with 3 straws in my cup. You know the feeling you get when it seems like the straw has a rip or tear - that is what it felt like when I used it (even though there wasn't a rip/tear in it) - strange. I think I just needed a much sturdier straw. I also got a Strawberry Lemonade to have with my meal. At first sip and second sip, I did not like this drink. Somehow, I could not taste the Lemonade, nor the Strawberry - not sure I would get that drink again. I may just stick to juice next time. Overall, I would go back. read more

Did you ever experience Deja Vu? That means you felt like you had been somewhere before? Well, I had no idea when I made the reservation, but I had been to this restaurant when it was owned by Brian Voltagio. I will say The Showroom stands on its own two feet. The food was fabulous. The service was great. The prices were very good. So, let's get into the details. We started off with deviled eggs. They were fabulous. The eggs were creamy, well seasoned, and the addition of bacon bits only added to our eating pleasure. My friend enjoyed a matcha martini, which looked beautiful and she really liked the flavor. It was a really unique take on a matcha cocktail. I ordered the fried chicken which came with chive biscuits and pickled vegetables. Let me tell you that chicken was down home delightful. The perfectly fried skin and moist tender meat inside was scrumptious. I loved the taste of the chive biscuits too. And, there were 4 pieces of chicken in my order! : 0 Yum! One friend got the fried chicken sandwich and she added a kale Caesar salad. She loved the salad and liked the sandwich too. Another, friend got the chicken and waffles and she enjoyed her meal. So, great food, good service, and generous portions. I would definitely stop by and savor a delicious meal. read more

While visiting Frederick, MD for a meeting, I stopped in here for lunch. Since it was just me, I sat at the bar rather than a table. Getting there on a weekday around 11AM, they were pretty busy, but the bar was wide open. Their menu is very interesting and creative. Asking the bartender what was popular, he gave me many suggestions, so I went with their Nashville Chicken Sandwich with a side of onion rings. The food was made fresh, hot, and quick. The onion rings were huge! Thick and they had an amazing batter on them which resembled the flavor of a hush puppy to me. It came with their horseradish bacon dipping sauce and that sauce was very nice with them. The chicken sandwich was substantial in size and had very tasty, freshly made pickles on it. The bread was incredible and flavorful. The chicken looked and tasted great, but didn't have much heat at all to it. I definitely liked it a lot though. Overall - great meal... Highly recommend stopping in... I'll definitely be back! read more

Came here on a Saturday and there were a good amount of people. Would recommend making a reservation if you want to sit at a table rather than the bar. We were greeted by our server who was very attentive and sweet the whole dining experience. We ordered the chicken & waffle and pit beef sandwich. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and delicious, and the waffles were light and fluffy. My friend said the sandwich was delicious along with the onion rings (which are huge). We also got a bucket of thick cut fries, which were delicious as well. I also love that we got 3 different sauces to eat with them. I wish we had more stomach space for the desserts, but I'm definitely going back for another meal and hopefully dessert! read more

Before entering, you will not have any issue finding a parking space. Upon entering, you will find yourself inside a modern contemporary decorated restaurant. It was crowded with slight wait time. The background noise was about medium level, which you and your party can carry a conversation. The service was good, not overly attentive nor neglected. Food and drinks were prepared within timely manners. The portion of each was aplenty. All of us were satisfied with the food. All the food was scrumptious for sure. The guacamole on my toast was fresh. The pricing was reasonable, nothing crazy expensive nor cheap. The checkout process was easy. I did online pay by scanning QR code. Overall, it was enjoyable, it gets a 4.7 out of 5. read more

summary: after a long day of travel, we stopped by for brunch before continuing on the road and what a great spot to stumble on. All of the food was delicious and the service was great. I love breakfast foods, so I feel like I have a pretty critical view on brunch spots. The Showroom was great from beginning to end though. The service was very friendly and the decor was modern, clean, and sleek. The vibe was casual, but seems like a great brunch spot for parties. As far as the food goes, this is where I was blown away. The chicken and waffles was delicious. My only complaint is that I feel like one piece of chicken wasn't enough! My gripe with chicken and waffles most of the time is that the chicken feels dry, but that was not an issue here. It was cooked perfectly with a nice crisp. All of the sauces that it comes with were great and well-balanced. The salad with shrimp was phenomenal as well. Whatever is going on in that kitchen is fantastic. Overall, a must-stop whether you're into brunch spots or not. I'm excited to try out some of their other options because I'll definitely be back. read more

Wow, this was certainly a pleasant experience for both of us. This dining experience was selected by the man, who after hearing me mention that they served shrimp & grits, decided we would make this our stop in Frederick after we visited another attraction on a Friday morning. We arrived slightly after 12 noon on a Friday. All booths were filled and we were seated at a 4-top floor table (no issue for us). Menus and water were provided immediately. We didn't see our waitress for a bit but again, it was shortly after 12 noon on a Friday and nearly all the tables were occupied. I ordered the shrimp & grits of course. My gentleman companion ordered the Chef's Breakfast which was comprised of 2 eggs (cooked your way), bacon, sausage, toast with butter and jelly, and fried potatoes. That was a WHOLE plate of food right there. My dish was phenomenal. Everything I was wanting and more. He thoroughly enjoyed his selection and both our plates were nearly wiped clean! Before we left, we agreed we will be returning. This is a freestanding building in the middle of a paved parking lot, so plenty of space to park. I did not visit the restrooms but I have to think they were as sparkling clean as the front of the restaurant. I was told this building used to be a car dealership showroom, hence the name. I'm not sure what the owner was going for but the vibe I got was 'contemporary but classic elevated diner experience' where the environment was contemporary and classic and the menu was definitely the most-welcome (to us) elevated diner experience. Super welcoming environment. I also enjoyed looking at all the artwork on display (and for sale). read more

As you can see, my rating has changed drastically since my last review. This is the second time in approximately one year that I have visited Showroom and have sat at the table for 10-15 minutes without acknowledgment from anyone. I'm not sure what the issue is - the restaurant is short staffed or they just don't care - but today was the last straw. I should have known things wouldn't go well when I was seated in the very back of the restaurant. After no acknowledgement, I left. I have been dining at Showroom since it's original iteration, Family Meal, and enjoyed the food and the ambiance, but something is off. I thought after the last incident, things would improve, but that's not the case. Unfortunately, I think this will be my last visit. read more

Came here for breakfast which was a delight. We didn't have a reservation. We were seated on the enclosed patio which worked well. My friend and I split two starters: the cheddar biscuits and deviled eggs. Really loved the cheddar biscuits! The deviled eggs were tasty, just a bit too much old bay on it for me. We also split the goat cheese and caramelized onion omelette which was very good. The potatoes that came with it were very tasty too. Would definitely come back to try more stuff! read more

Make a reservation! Long waits on the weekends if you don't. There is bar top seating but narrow and limited. Good for large groups with reservation. Food is so fresh and flavorful. The shrimp and grits has great texture and southern flare. The French omelet was fine- I got it with onion and feta(?) but I'd get something with meat next time. The potatoes are amazing! The omelet dish was worth it for the potatoes. The deviled eggs were also very good but I'd pass on the pot pie fritters- not enough stuffing and too much bread read more

My friend and I were in the area visiting the Walkersville Southern Railroad, and we were SO hungry after the ride. I ordered the pot pie fritters and double-stack burger, and my friend ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and Mac and cheese. We thoroughly enjoyed our food. I loved the pot pie fritters on their own and don't think they needed any sauces. My burger was delicious, but it was a bit underwhelming; it was missing something, and compared to other items on the menu. We asked for ranch, and I think this like spicy mayo on the side, and both were really good. My friend loved her food and I thought the Mac and cheese was delicious and creamy. Their in-house sauces are really good. We asked for ranch and I think this like spicy mayo on the side and it was really good. Our server was super nice and helpful. She would check if we were enjoying our food and if we had any questions. I think she could have been more watchful of us. The restaurant wasn't busy at all when we were there, and we felt our server would disappear, so we ended up waiting a while to check out. Someone else ended up helping us instead. The place itself is super cute. It's a large dining room with a lot of seating and ample space. Overall, the food was delicious and I really would come back if I were in the area. read more

My first time patronizing the Showroom. My group had an outstanding experience! Chef Bryan Voltaggio's transformation of a former car dealership into a vibrant dining space is truly remarkable. The restaurant's modern take on mid-Atlantic comfort foods, such as fried chicken, duck fat fries, meatloaf, and chicken pot pie fritters, has garnered significant acclaim. Notably, Showroom was honored with top distinctions in OpenTable's Diners' Choice Awards for both Contemporary American cuisine and being Great for Brunch! 7-day-a-week brunch menu, served from 8 AM to 4 PM, features favorites like chicken & waffles, biscuits & gravy, Nashville chicken sandwich, steak & eggs, and smoked salmon with a New York bagel from Orwashers . Additionally, Showroom offers Brunch For Dinner (BFD) until 9 PM daily. Stop the madness! With a 4.5-star rating on OpenTable and numerous positive reviews, Showroom stands out as a top dining destination in Frederick, MD. The Showroom is commitment to quality ingredients and exceptional service makes it a must-visit spot for both locals and visitors alike. If you're ever in the area. GET SOME!!!! read more

I have a go-to for many places. Fish and Chips. I realize that is an odd go-to but it is mine! 1. Coleslaw (vinegar based) was awesome. The red cabbage and vineage gave it a very tart flavor. 2. The deviled eggs were stunning! The bacon was perfect and the creamy Deviled Egg part was awesome! 3. The Chips were perfect with the Fish. They serve the more traditional steak fries and well they were awesome! The tartar sauce was good as well. Overall this is a we will visit again place. The food was well prepared. We had made cookies at home that day so we didn't order desert but next time we will get desert for sure!!!! read more

We were visiting Frederick for a weekend wedding from the West Coast. Our AirBnb was nearby downtown Frederick and was a 5-minute drive from Showroom. If we could, we would've came here one more time before we left! We would definitely visit again. Food: Prices were reasonable and the food was delicious. We ordered the cheddar chive biscuits and wow! One of the best biscuits I've had at a restaurant. Moist, flavorful, and melted easily in your mouth. I ordered the waffle with the banana compote and it was simple yet enough to savor. I was more than happy with my order. Service: Our waitress was fun, entertaining, and informative! I forgot her name but she was an absolute gem. She elevated our dining experience to another level. The rest of the staff were pleasant and were very kind. We felt welcomed the moment we stepped in.

Showroom has a family style comfort food menu with a gourmet touch. I had a wedge salad with a crabcake add-on. The wedge salad was fresh romaine with blue cheese, small tomatoes sliced, bacon crumbles which were fresh, and ranch dressing. My table mate had the Reuben which she said was one of the best she has had. The menu has a wide variety of tasty entrees from huge burgers to salmon, fish and chips, and onion soup with short rib. We recommend a visit. For a cushioned seat take a table, not a booth, my only criticism. And it's a Voltaggio effort. read more
