Taco Bar Frederick

Showroom is one of those rare restaurants where you can see leadership in the details. The food is…read moreexcellent, 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.

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 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.

Once we arrived we were seated within a couple minutes of arriving, and the waitress was very nice and attentive to our orders and the timing of our meal. The restaurant was very lively with other customers, and it really gave off a café feel with the decor. I ordered a French toast with an orange juice and the French toast was exceptional. It was nice and crisp went outside and fluffy on the inside and a side of bacon eggs were cooked well Also it came with like an apple jam and syrup. I liked the syrup in an apple jam brought a nice sweetness to the French toast if you didn't want to use the syrup. For a brunch spot I highly recommend this restaurant. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu.

The best thing they have to offer is their coffee and drinks. They're very good and consistent. I am not a fan of their baked goods or breakfast sandwiches. The breakfast sandwiches are served in warm bagels (not toasted) and the bacon seems like pre-cooked bacon a the egg is also ore-cooked and steamed. Very disappointed not getting fresh eggs and bacon. Would not recommend their breakfast sandwiches when there are far better options in the area. The baked goods were okay, but there are better options locally.

Everyone was welcoming and the atmosphere made the place feel very comfortable right away. The highlight for me was their red pepper soup, which was honestly one of the best soups I've ever had. Coming all the way from Riverside, I can confidently say this is a must stop if you're visiting Frederick. I also tried their spiced chai and it was excellent. The coffee itself wasn't exactly my personal preference, but I noticed plenty of people ordering it, so it's clearly a popular choice. Overall, if you're in downtown Frederick and want great hospitality and an amazing bowl of soup, this place is definitely worth the visit.

I personally recommend the Pizza, especially their Veronica Vaughn. Service: The restaurant can sometimes have a long wait, but it's worth it. Servers flip tables quickly and are transparent about wait times. Food never takes too long, so expect quick service on slower days, with more of a half hourish wait on busy days (depending on what you order). Ambiance: As a young adult , I love the vibe established in the White Rabbit! Often I recognize some of my own favorite songs on the radio! So shout out to whoever puts together the playlists. Tables are small downstairs, but the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Good hang spot. There is bar seating upstairs and downstairs. Oh! And worth mentioning are the tasteful paintings hung along the stairways. I absolutely recommend the White Rabbit to any couple or group of friends in the downtown frederick area. It's a go-to for me. Thank you to the staff and owners for so many great lunches and dinners!

The restaurant was a bit full and as we decided to give this spot a try sort of last minute, we were more than happy to sit at the bar. We were exhausted from a long day and starving, and because of both those things we skipped cocktails. It was very disappointing to have to do all our ordering through the app, resulting in virtually zero interaction with any staff whatsoever. It left me with just an odd feeling I can't explain, perhaps because we were looking right at staff sitting at the bar and yet no one spoke to us. Anyway, the food was great (my friend had the smash burger and fries) and I will be coming back at least once for the poutine again and to try their pizza. Apparently they are known for their pizzas and they ones I saw did look delicious.
