Weary after a long nightshift, I decided I had earned a good breakfast. I wandered over to Showroom, which used to be the beloved Family Meal. Immediately I was greeted by their kind staff who gave great recommendations on the menu. I was seated at a booth in the empty restaurant, and my only qualm about this experience comes from this booth. It was directly below the AC and it was so unbelievably cold that I was physically shivering. It is summer and I even had a jacket on! It made me want to not even finish my breakfast because I was so unbelievably uncomfortable. But back to the food, I ordered a strawberry marshmallow milkshake which was SO good. It had the most perfect toasted flavor. I love that they gave you the tin with extra ice cream as well. The duck fat fries paired perfectly with the milkshake. The sauce the fries came with was not my cup of tea, but that is alright. I do feel like the fries at Family Meal used to be slightly better, but perhaps that is also nostalgia talking. Lastly I finished my breakfast with waffles covered in banana compote topping. They were delicious. The perfect amount of sweet and savory. I will be back for lunch and dinner! read more

Such a quaint location with indoor and outdoor seating! The outdoor seating does have fans and they do come frequently to check on your water since some days recently have a been pretty hot. The waiter was a gem and very on top of checking our table. We ordered the pitcher of white peach sangria not pictured because we enjoyed it a bit too much. The main entrees were beautiful and smelled amazing. My only comment is the breading on the fish either was a bit overcooked or a bit dry on my end because the fish was delicious. The dessert that we didn't know we wanted was IMPECCABLE. I am not a fan of carrot cake but this one makes me reconsider that. 10/10! read more

My friends and I stopped here for brunch on the way to Harpers ferry, after I looked it up on Yelp. We really liked the atmosphere and that they had outdoor covered seating (it even had heaters and fans). Our service was great and everyone was very friendly. The menu is full of some classic brunch options, so even our table of picky eaters could find something they liked. We ordered onion rings and the pancakes for the table as appetizers. No complaints on the onion rings, and the pancakes are probably the best thing that we ordered, so two thumbs up for that! As far as our entrees, two of us ordered the breakfast sandwich, someone ordered the omelette, and two of us ordered the steak and eggs. Overall, I would give the food a solid 3. The home fries are unique and different from what you would typically expect, but in our opinion, a little bit too thick and dense although we really liked the batter. The breakfast sandwiches were good and a filling option (would love if a tomato was part of the toppings)! No real complaints about the omelette, but it was also definitely a filling dish! The steak and eggs seemed overpriced considering the amount of steak you get, but otherwise they were cooked to the right temperatures. Cute place with friendly staff! read more

Overall a fantastic restaurant. The $$ is accurate price wise. The portions are on the smaller side and there was no hope for any leftovers, but the quality is amazing so you can't really be too upset. We did get a set of dishes that had a very little bit of dried food on it, and I mean very, very little, easily scrapped off with a fingernail. This is something I've noticed in other restaurants and assume it comes from using industrial dishwashers that wash quickly with high-pressure water. So it's not that the dishes are dirty, per se, but that the dishes can have leftover sanitized residue on it. What we got: Chicken Pot Pie Fritters - 4* my partner liked the fritters more than I did (he gives them 5*, I give them 3*). I felt the flavor was lacking a bit for the outside crust but I'm not sure what one could do to add flavor without messing with the flavor of the dipping sauce. But the pot pie filling was fantastic and the sauce! Oh that sauce. I saved the remaining sauce for my sandwich. Nashville Chicken Sandwich - 5*. I forgot until halfway through the sandwich that I had saved the dipping sauce from our appetizer to use here. I didn't even need it! (But I did try it still, haha) The chicken was amazingly tender and the cheese was fantastic. Biscuits and Gravy - 5*. The biscuits were soft and perfect, not too crunchy or doughy. The gravy was on the lighter side and didn't overpower the meal, a common occurrence with this dish. It was creamy, delectable, and hit the spot. The over easy eggs on top added a nice richness to the overall dish. read more

So disappointed in our second visit to the Showroom. First time we had good food, drinks and service. Second time the dishes seemed rushed, poor presentation, roasted carrot side was great two weeks ago, today was bland and totally lacked any trace of the balsamic glazed we enjoyed previously. For some reason the cocktails we ordered had shrunk by 50% and our food came too fast to have been prepared with any care as we noted on its arrival. While the service was polite we left feeling the response to our complaints was just lip service. We had high hopes after our first visit, do not think a third visit will happen read more

This place is busy on the weekends for brunch. Make a reservation online. Enjoyed the deviled eggs a lot! It reminded of the Big Mac sauce flavor. They do not skimp out on the filling. The sausage patty and bacon strips tasted exactly how I expected it to taste. The sausage was on the greasy side. I also had duck fat home fries. It came out piping hot which was a plus. My friends got biscuit and sausage gravy. The egg on it was runny and they said it was perfect. I tried a bite of it and I though the biscuit was a bit too dense for my liking. read more

After eating at Chef Bryan's Thacher & Rye a few years ago, it's hard to believe this restaurant has his name behind it. We came here on a date night and ordered the chicken pot pie fritters, Maryland pit beef, and a double stack burger. Several issues: - The pot pie fritters were fine in concept, more or less a croqueta. Biggest complaint was the inside hadn't fully cooked through and we got a couple pieces that were still cold. - Waitress didn't ask for temperature of the meat for the burger. It was served with overcooked patties but cheese that wasn't melted. - The Maryland pit beef was more like cheesesteak on a bun, without the cheese. I need to see my way to Chaps asap for redemption after eating this. Also much greasier than it needed to be, it was that bad. - Entrees came out literally 90 seconds after the appetizer. From sitting down to bill paid and standing up from our table was a total of about 40 minutes. Felt like a very rushed meal. Only positives were the fries were perfect and our tab, which included two cocktails, were under $100. I suppose this could be an okay place to go for brunch or a family meal but we chose a rare date night, which made it all the more disappointing for my wife and I. read more

Everything was great. Had a reservation and was seated quickly. Server was great. The food was good. Reuben with fries. I did have the duck fat option don't know if that mattered. Had the fritters. So good would recommend. Friends had the sausage and gray. Looked great. Overall happy with the first time there read more

A solid choice in Frederick. We have been here a handful of times and have yet to be disappointed. I think because of their limited menu, however, it appears they may have added a little more variety and options! This is a decently sized restaurant that also offers outdoor seating. For our most recent experience, we chose to sit inside and made a reservation ahead of time since it was Friday night, although it may not have been needed in this instance. It is well lit by natural light and the seating is comfortable, although a LITTLE tight. As a family of 4, we ordered the Steak Frites, Short Ribs, Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and the kids Pancakes with sausage. - Steak Frites: ordered medium rare and that is exactly what we got. The steak was perfectly seasoned and the fries were nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The spicy aioli was a perfect compliment. - Short Ribs: these were SO tender! The short ribs are served atop mashed potatoes and almost gives roast beef vibes. The collard greens are cooked so well it would almost be comparable to soul food. - Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich: my son described this as the perfect spice! He's not a fan of too much spice, but he said it was enjoyable. His sandwich came with potato chips instead of fries, so he ended up trading my husband's fries for his chips. Overall, he enjoyed his meal. No crumbs left! - Kids Pancakes: my daughter rated these an 8/10. She enjoyed them! She did say her sausage tasted like blueberry (which she hates). I tried it and I think it may have been sage. Tasted fine to me! I did get a crush flight which left me feeling good! Not too strong, but just right. Would be perfect for brunch or anytime, really. Our server was very attentive throughout, very friendly and easy. We have yet to have a bad experience with staff here. Since their menu appears to have more options now, we may come back more often! read more

Went for a burger and I have to say that the little bag of chips that came with my burger were a disappointment. Why don't they come with the option of fries? The burger, mediocre. I think I'll stick to having breakfast vs lunch or dinner. read more

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Kid-friendly, not in downtown so easy to drive to and big parking lot outside. Yummy brunch items - we got bagel and lox, huevos rancheros, and pastrami hash. Hash could have used more pastrami but otherwise everything was good. Looks like it would accommodate large groups well too. Noise level was also nice. read more

What a find!! This place clearly reminds me of the kind of place you might find in Palm Springs. It has some familiar comfort foods, with a slight twist... Like the fried chicken- it's pretty much just likeable fried chicken, but the pickled vegetables rolls that come with it are very good. The fried chicken sandwich with an egg on it is absolutely amazing. The home fries that come with that are also very good. Captivated by the menu, we also tried the chicken pot pie flavored fritters with a wonderful Louisiana Pete type sauce, and their deviled eggs. Both of which were excellent by the way. In summary, pretty much everything here is been made with great care and love, and is just wonderful. It seems like $10 for 4/2 of deviled eggs is a little high, and the portion for the chicken pot pie fritters could use maybe one more fritter. But overall, this place is a keeper, and we will definitely be back. read more

If you can manage to get past the host stand, maybe worth a visit. Food and servers are good. Host staff is abysmal. I called Wednesday to make a reservation for our party of 7. I was told they don't take reservations, especially for Sunday brunch, but I could call ahead and give them a heads up when we were on our way. Called Sunday morning and they say it'll be 35-45 minutes and they can't put us on the wait list until we get there. No problem. We show up - they look shocked a party that big just walks in. Insisted I should've made a reservation. I explained I tried and I had just spoken to someone 20 minutes ago. After a lot of blank stares and several arguments about their reservation policy, They magically find a table in the patio and everything was fine. I wouldn't have bothered with a review, but one hostess continued to give us dirty looks every time she seats a table in our section and on the way out. We would have ordered drinks and desserts but we just wanted away from the frosty attitude. Beyond unprofessional. read more

Dinner at Showroom was an excellent experience for our family. It's going to cause us to do something we've never done before - go for a return visit to a restaurant on a short vacation. We usually like to try out different places, but we all agreed Showroom was worth it! All of the food was very good. The hangar steak was probably our favorite entree, brought to another level by some of the best mashed potatoes we've had. The shrimp and grits was also excellent, as was the gazpacho soup. But what really set Showroom apart were the kids menu options. While not cheap, they were all well thought out and good portions and value. The kids burger was the star, coming with multiple sides - apple sauce, side salad, pickle, and fries. They also offered breakfast options on the kids menu - the pancakes with bacon were a crowd pleaser. The kids all tried each other's meals and (while they loved their own), want to return to have the others. The only slight area for improvement is some service hiccups. Overall, very friendly and attentive - but still seems to need the final refinement / attention to detail (e.g., no spoon brought with the soup, only 4 place setting for a party of 5, etc.). But overall a definite 5 star experience! read more

We came to showroom for bunch on a grey Sunday afternoon. We were promptly seated in the outdoor patio area, which had a covering and ample heating. Must try item? Absolutely get the chicken pot pie fritters. I should have just gotten 2 orders of that and made that my main. The ritz cracker coating makes it delicious. It does taste mostly like a croquette but it's really good. My bf got the mushroom soup which was nice and earthy, perfect for a cold rainy day. For my main I got the fried chicken and biscuits. It is a hearty portion for sure, and the chicken is crunchy while being moist inside when you bite into it. Good flaky biscuits. My bf's beet salad was actually very delicious and I might have liked his more than my own fried chicken. read more

We decided to have Sunday brunch here and we made a reservation, which I'm happy we did because it was very busy.

They delivered the brunch we wanted. Needed a spot for a party of 10 on short notice. Was a little worried because I couldn't find their brunch/breakfast menu on the website or Yelp. But they confirmed via phone that they have Sunday brunch Superb service. Waitress was super attentive. Got our drinks and food quickly. amazing food. From waffles to the breakfast burger to the garden omelette and avocado toast, all had generous portions and tasted great. Everything we ordered was correct and tasted exactly like what we wanted. An affordable price. didn't feel like we were getting robbed. We'll definitely be back for dinner and beer read more

Always good. Got the avocado toast flight, which I didn't think would be filling so I got the breakfast potatoes on the side. It was filling. Forgot I had the beer flight too. At 9 in the morning. The end read more

We went for brunch and had a great experience. Our temperatures were taken upon arrival and we were seated on the covered patio spaced out from the other tables. Reservations can be made on their website. For an appetizer, we ordered the chicken wings; they had a tasty sauce that was a little tangier than buffalo sauce and the ranch dipping sauce was really creamy. For the main dish, we ordered the Nashville Chicken sandwich and fried potatoes tossed in duck fat. It was the perfect combo. The sandwich was crunchy and seasoned very well. The fried potatoes were really good as well and the portion was great to share. They had an array of specialty cocktails to choose from. The Potomac Passion was very refreshing! If I'm ever in the Frederick area again I'll definitely return. read more

Being a fan of B.Volt, I had to try this restaurant while in town. Brunchtime visit and the menu had a nice variety of casual offerings to choose from. Deviled Eggs, Chicken Stack, side of Home fries and Sweet Tea. Now, I typically don't brag on tea, but my goodness this was really good tea! Deviled eggs, 6 halves, were pretty good. Felt like it needed a touch of sweet to balance the tart and they would have been perfect. Chicken Stack, which consists of Fried Chicken Salad, Bacon, Cheddar, Pepperjack, Lettuce, Tomato is built up like a club sandwich and huge!! It's a bit challenging to eat, so I ended up pulling the layers apart and eating it open-faced. It's so large I actually only had a 1/4 of it. I got the dijonaise on the side and glad I did because it wasn't necessary. The sandwich itself is very tasty,not dry at all. The potatoes were super crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Service was pretty good and my arrival around 10a on a Sunday was great for fast seating. Many other options on the menu and looking forward to a future visit. read more

Came in for brunch and was underwhelmed. Maybe brunch isn't the time to come? They have a nice open dining room as well as covered patio space with heaters. We ordered... Deviled Eggs Biscuits Goat Cheese Omelet Duck Fat Fries Crab Cake Sandwich - Minus the Bread Everything was okay. Nothing was amazing or really stood out. The crab cake was all filling. Barely any crab inside. Service was good. Prices were standard. But I wouldn't go back, nothing was worth the drive to Frederick. read more

I knew as soon as I saw pictures of the food that I would love this place. The food was absolutely flavorful and melt in your mouth. I had the best DEVILED EGGS I ever ate and the CHICKEN POT PIE FRITTERS were little flavor burst. I loved how the food was soulful but not heavy. They serve real tea. They offer alcoholic milkshakes (I don't drink but thought it was a fun touch). I also had the North Carolina HOT CHICKEN SANDWICH. The peppery taste on the juicy, crunchy chicken was just what I needed after a short hike at Gambrill. Service was great. Decor, excellent. We came just before the dinner crowd. The only critique was the shrimp and grits. Although decent, the grits tasted more like risotto and wasn't what we were expecting. They were nice enough to replace the order. Besides that, everyone was really impressed and plan to return again to try the salads and the recommended salmon. read more

We came for brunch ordered biscuits for apps, chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy with a side of home fries. The biscuits came out very fast but I do think it was undercooked, it tastes very doughy. The chicken and waffles was delicious but I would order it without the pickled hots. The gravy was actually very good paired with the biscuits. The home fries were delicious and crunchy. It was a tad too big for my taste but the fact it was crunchy made up for it. The waitstaff was very attentive and the host immediately sat us. I do agree with other reviews there's nothing too special about the food here but it was worth the try. I would give this place 3 and a half stars. read more

Born & Raised definitely is a nice, new addition to the Frederick restaurant scene. It's the same chef who owned Family Meal but different owners. The physical attributes of the restaurant are the same and not too many changes. Although some of the menu items are still the same but larger portions. Our family dined here last night and it was a pleasant experience from start to finish. They are still working out the quirks of newly opening but we were greeted by a friendly hostess who seated us. Once we sat down, our server was also friendly and we ordered the deviled eggs as appetizer which were a little sweet and savory, and the shrimp and grits. My mom ordered the beet salad which she said the dressing was delightful. My husband ordered the hanger steak with bernaise sauce as his main meal. Then I ordered the pork chop schnitzel with gribiche sauce which I highly recommend. The gribiche sauce is a French style mayonnaise based sauce to dip the pork chop for flavor. Then for our table of 6, we ordered the duck fat potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and roasted apple sauce. All the side dishes were definitely worth trying and we still had left overs to take home. After dinner, for dessert, we ordered the s'mores sundae, oatmeal pies ,and cookies and cream shake which were definitely must tried. We loved the s'mores sundae and soft and chewy oatmeal pies. We would definitely go again in the future to try other dishes, but we enjoyed all of the dishes we ordered! read more

UPDATE: I have changed my 1 star to a 3 due to the manager Matt calling me and refunding my money with out me even having to ask. Wonderful customer service and I plan to give this place another shot as I have heard nothing but good things. Thank you for making this right! I was super excited to try this place. I did a curb side pick up order and I was told to pick up at 5:26 (see receipt) and didn't receive my order till 5:40. I got home and realized they forgot to give me my milkshake. I called and asked if they could refund me or deliver my milkshake and they told me they would have my manager call me back. It's been an hour and still no call back. I opened my food to eat it and my steak was beyond rare (see receipt for medium rare). I'm very disappointed with my experience. I would like my $66 back to make this right. read more

I love the food at this place. It's a fun twist on American classics. I love the drinks at this place. Hand crafted with homemade ingredients. I love the vibe and decor. Funky and a bit whimsical, with just the right amount of polished stainless steel to make it shine. This is a go-to place when people come in from out of town for business lunches. The fries?

The staff was nice and not obtrusive which is always a nice perk. I got to enjoy my meal but they seemed to be nearby whenever I needed something and thats a nice mix that not every place gets right.

Had a wonderful breakfast this morning served by Anthony. The place was clean, with menu options that were delectable as well as healthy including the goat cheese and caramelized onion French omelette, which I enjoyed. There was also real maple syrup available for pancakes, which is practically unheard of, as well as honey and yummy green tea. The home fries that came with the omelette were cooked in garlic and duck fat, and delicious. Huge portion if you are a big eater! Anthony was upbeat, charming, and efficient.
