A friend and I stopped at Maxwell's on a Saturday night for a bite to eat around 7 pm. All tables…read morewere full, but we quickly got a spot once a few folks left. We ordered a beef burger with a side of sweet tots and the steakhouse burger with mac & cheese as the side. We shared all things and they were all delicious. The beet burger was suggested by a fellow customer and I'm so glad I listened to her. I was different and the texture was minced and not sliced. The flavor combo was awesome and out of the ordinary. The steakhouse burger was also fantastic. It was a great burger, but still a burger. So I was definitely a 5 out of 5, but the beet burger won the trip for me. The sweet tots and mac & cheese were equally delicious. I don't think you can go wrong. I really liked this place if you couldn't tell.

They do have a small parking lot and some benches around back but not ideal for colder weather. The menu is pretty extensive with many options of hot dogs, burgers and dessert. We got the Chicago dog, chili dog, patty melt and onion rings. The onion rings were the best! The breading did not fall off and stayed with each bite of the onion! Not to mention the crunch! The hot dog was also delicious! The way they dressed it was neat and you got a solid bite each time! The patty melt was juicy and the rye pairs so nicely!! The service was quick. It seemed like our small group of 6 may have overwhelmed them slightly with the amount of food we ordered but nonetheless did not take too long !

TLDR: Old-school burger & dog stand with outdoor seating only. Food is delicious, prices are great,…read moreand it's a perfect stop on a sunny day. Expect a wait at peak hours, but worth it. Beef 'N Buns 'N Paradise is one of those hidden gems that feels like summer. This fast casual burger and hot dog stand is walk-up only, with outdoor seating and a handful of parking spots (which fill up quickly during peak times). You order at the window from a huge menu and wait for your name to be called over the loudspeaker. We tried a few of their hot dogs, the Chicago Dog and the Chili Nacho Cheese Dog and both were awesome. The dogs were snappy, flavorful, and loaded with toppings. We also grabbed the double patty melt, which was superlative. The patties were juicy, the rye bread was perfectly griddled, and the whole thing just hit. The onion rings deserve their own shoutout too, crispy, hand-breaded, and the perfect side item. And of course, we had to finish with dessert. We got vanilla soft serve cones with black cherry flavor burst on one and coffee on the other. Super tasty and the perfect ending. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portion size. It's exactly the kind of place you want to hit up on a sunny weekend or for a casual dinner after work.

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.

Driving through the area late at night, we stumbled across Wag's with a craving for burgers. Though we weren't there to drink since we had a drive ahead of us, we loved watching the other patrons enjoying the bar scene. With daily specials and a great basement vibe, I can see why people love Wags. As for the food: the burger was just alright - but what can you expect when your meal is less than $10 per person? It honestly was perfect for the price point. The Wag Burger claimed to have a special sauce but we didn't taste it, which was fine because the burger was juicy, greasy, and hit the spot. The Philly cheese steak had a bit more flavor than the burger and was also a solid choice. Fries are fresh and made in-house, and I appreciated that you can salt them yourself and decide what toppings you might want to add. The menu is honestly huge for a dive bar, and all the food was solid. Shoutout to the staff here because after hearing how some drunk customers were treating them, they deserve all the tips in the world. Despite the staff being berated, dealing with intoxicated patrons threatening to run around nude, all while waiting tables with ease and kindness - you all deserve raises.

I love how some people made signs that said ICE not wanted at the Ice Festival. Joe and I stopped at a place called Wags to get warm and a late lunch. You had to go down some steps to enter this basement bar/ restaurant. It was a toss between Fells Point meets Peabody book club. Joe was entirely intimidated. Dark, dingy, crowded with everyone from bikers, to Boomers to yuppies to kids. Luckily, a couple was getting up and we found a table. Joe actually ordered a cocktail apple cranberry whiskey, LOL. The Waitresses were scurrying around efficiently and we were able to place our order. The menu looked like bistro comfort food that I found on Yelp as we were leaving the Glass Warehouse close by. We had no idea what to expect but walking downtown Frederick on Market Street is always a pleasure. The food and the service were outstanding! Totally exceeded our expectations. The quality, quantity and value for your buck totally unexpected. And Joe went from being intimidated to inspired! Joe liked Wags so much that he left a $30 tip, which doesn't seem unusual but the bill was only $40 including drinks! On the way out I shook hands with a guy named Carlos who introduced himself as one of the owners . I observed him wearing every hat, from serving food to scraping plates and cleaning. if I have to drag my man to my glass Warehouse almost 2 hours away from home I better feed him, LOL we will definitely be back. Gr8 vibes, gr8 food, gr8 service on the down low. Took a chance and was pleasantly surprised. #WAGS #WAGSWAITRESSESROCK #FREDERICKMD #BESTSMALLTOWNFREDERICKMD #anythinginstainedglassc

(UPDATE) Food: The…read morefood is still just as advertised, and delicious. The staff is accommodating and helpful despite the QR code menu system. 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.

Hindsight being 20/20, I made a BIIIIG mistake. Fast forward to now. Stopped by on the way home from a road trip with my Spousal Unit. It was late, we were hungry, so gave it a shot. Still a few bikes in the lot, still a few bikers at the bar, but the place did not look anything like the rough and tumble joints I remembered. We ordered burgers and fries - and they were really, really, really good. Meat was a bit more cooked than requested but flavor was excellent and the fixings were fresh. Nice burger! And the fries: oh the fries! Crispy exterior, soft interior, well salted - I've now found fries I like more than Five Guys and McDs. So let me apologize for stereotyping them based on appearances. I'm happy to come back, and will bring my golf buddies so they can see what we missed.
