Jenna was fantastic! Food and drinks were delicious! Got the crab poutine and Veronica Vaughn pizza.

(UPDATE) Food: The food 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! read more

Let me just start with the fact that I am Quebecois and so I know my poutine and THIS crab poutine will bring me back to this restaurant if nothing else! Delicious and loaded with crab! 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. read more

Stopped at White Rabbit Gastropub on Mother's Day while passing through downtown Frederick, and I'm glad we did. The restaurant is tucked into a really charming historic-style building with a cozy speakeasy atmosphere, exposed brick, and a lot of character. You can tell why it's so well reviewed. One thing worth mentioning for anyone visiting downtown Frederick: parking was actually much easier than we realized at first. We initially parked on another street because we didn't know there was parking nearby, but there's public parking very close to the restaurant, and we even noticed EV/Tesla charging nearby as well. We arrived around 9:15 PM and learned that last call was only a few minutes away, which was completely our fault, but the staff still took the time to help guide us toward a few good menu choices and never made us feel rushed. Everyone was genuinely friendly and welcoming. The Old Fashioned came out quickly and was very solid. The standout dish of the night was definitely the Crispy Brussels Sprouts with walnuts, absolutely excellent and probably my favorite thing we ordered. For the main course, we had the Maryland Crab Detroit Pizza. I liked it, but didn't love it. The Detroit-style crust was thicker and softer than I expected, more heavy and bread-forward than crispy, and combined with the béchamel-style sauce it ended up feeling a little too rich for my taste. Still good quality ingredients, just not quite my preference. Although the Maryland Crab Detroit Pizza wasn't really my personal favorite, there were plenty of other dishes on the menu that looked excellent. I'd definitely come back to try more of what they offer. For dessert, we tried the Churro Donuts with cinnamon sugar and dulce de leche. They were decent, but the texture leaned a little soggy rather than crisp or airy. We had also hoped to try another dessert that sounded great, a warm brownie-style dessert, but they had sold out after a busy weekend. Overall, I'd absolutely come back. The food was good overall, the drinks and service were strong, and the ambiance is really what makes the place memorable. If I'm back in downtown Frederick, this is definitely somewhere I'd consider returning to. read more

This was our first stop from BWI airport for a "quick" lunch on our way out to Leesburg VA. We overstayed just because of White Rabbit. So inviting, welcoming, excellent food, draft lines and cocktails. Leah was amazing! If this is your first visit to the area, she should be the first person you meet. Even the patrons were very nice. Get the cheesy bread!! It kinda has a vibe of Cheers in Brooklyn thing going on except way friendlier like genuinely nice people. No fake BS here. I would move to this town just based off of this pub and immediately have a friend group. Will return!!! read more

Come early if you want a table but White Rabbit Gastro Pub is worth the effort for sure. Tucked in a no-visibility corner of Frederick behind the Church Street Parking Garage, this gem of a local restaurant inhabits the space that was La Paz years ago. It's certainly worth the effort to come and find and would even be worth the (expectable) wait for a table. Reservations are not accepted, so planning is the watchword. At 11:30 am on a late winter Saturday which was damp and dreary, we got one of the last tables. Aiming for healthier fare, we got "bowls" (one rice-based with tofu, and one greens-based with shrimp. Both were tasty, plentiful and delicious. This is upscale dining and not perhaps super-affordable for the cost. A $20 salas out to be super-plentiful and delicious to justify the expense, but these both definitely well. Despite a bazillion competitors within walking distance, we definitely plan to come back. We're fans. read more

Cool vibe in downtown Frederick, Maryland. The night we went it was super busy. Had to wait for a table about 30 minutes, but we hung out at the bar and the drinks were really good. Would definitely suggest getting the crab poutine as an appetizer so tasty. I got the Carmella's cutlet as my main meal, very big couldn't finish it all also very good. read more

This place is a great spot in town for good drinks and eats. The Veronica Vaughn pizza was excellent with the ricotta being very abundant and the pepperoni being cooked nice and cupped along with that slight hot honey kick. The brussel sprouts were a great flavored green to have. The crab poutine fries were good but nothing to write home about. The vibe and atmosphere was intimate and felt like a nice dark but speakeasy type vibe but with the energy of a gastropub. The cocktails were also very well made. The staff was very nice and attentive. There is a wait if you don't have reservations so I recommend getting it ahead of time. read more

My first time here. We ate at the bar since it was booked and busy. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. The drinks were good. I got a smash burger with parmesan fries. It was soooooooo good. It came with a sauce that I think was mustard based. Also delicious. It was such a good burger. My friend loved her dill pickle pizza. I would come here again. I heard upstairs is really cute. The downstairs bar area was nice! read more

Came here with a group of friends for lunch after hiking at Ganbrils state park. We didnt have reservations but was able to get seat outside. Our server was friendly and told us we could scan QR code to get the menu. I saw someone else eating a Smash burger and knew I wanted one. I also ordered a Pious pear cider which was nice and too sweet. The burger had all the toppings and was filling. The group shared an order of crab poutine which was delicious. We had a bit of food envy when we saw other tables with pizza. I would love to come back and try their pizza. Had a great experience and would recommend this to others. read more

Detroit friend approved! If you're looking for a place that serves great Detroit-style pizza and accommodates big groups, White Rabbit is perfect. We ordered one too many pizzas (6), but they were all crispy and delicious. One of the most unique pizzas - the Maryland's Best Crab Pizza - was a winner for me. Any of the ones with pepperoni were also good. I usually eat two slices max of Detroit-style pizza, but I definitely had to go over my limit to try almost all the pies. My group left a little over four slices left after the feast, so basically a whole pizza. The wait was 40 minutes at around 4:30pm, but I think there were a lot of people there from the street festival that Saturday afternoon. My friends and I were enjoying Tenth Ward nearby when we got the text that our table was ready. White Rabbit was willing to hold the table after my friend ran over to say we were on our way. I think White Rabbit is great for groups because of the separate ordering on Toast Tab. You can order and pay for items as an individual and as a group, so people could order their own drinks on their own tabs. The check splitting for all the pizzas was easier afterwards when we put it all on one person's credit card. read more

As a New Yorker, I didn't know Detroit pizza existed. When it first came out it reminded me of a Chicago pie (big and heavy) but it wasn't. It was light, airy and delicious. I recommend coming here and trying it for yourself. read more

My sister came to visit and we just looked a random place to eat in downtown Frederick and stumbled upon the White Rabbit. We were greeted at the door able to get quick seating at the bar. Leah was amazing. She made sure we had our drinks quickly. She explained the menu to us as it was our first time. Her recommendations were excellent. She checked in regularly with us and made sure we were taken care of. We hope to run into her again when we come back. The food we chose were all delicious. The pizza was my favorite with the empanadas a close second. The crab poutine was different but my sister really enjoyed it. Portions were good and I think the food was priced well. The building is a little hidden but there is some enjoyment in finding it almost feels like you have to be in the know. The restaurant itself was dimly lit but that is expected of a pub. I enjoyed it myself. Bright lights is not always needed. Overall a great experience and I will definitely be back and will recommend it to anyone who happens to be in the area. read more

This was a great place to grab some pizza while in Frederick, Md. We had a larger group and there was a little bit of a wait (obviously because the food is to die for) but they got our group of 12 in and got us seated upstairs and out of the way. They had some great beers on tap and we were there for the pizza. Amazing!!! Some of the other party members got some bowls and they enjoyed them as well. Will definitely come back. read more

Although White Rabbit Gastropub is tucked behind a parking garage it's worth finding. The inside is a bit dark but cozy. There was a bit of a wait as expected on a Saturday around lunch time but the hostess quickly found us four seats at the bar upstairs. I had the Maryland's Best Crab Pizza, truffle parmesan fries, and an espresso martini. The crab pizza was more like crab dip on bread -- tasty but filling. Last time my friends and I had the Martha Stewart's Prison Pizza and asked for some marinara on the side. Highly recommend if you want a lighter pizza. The fries were French cut and tasted like they were tossed in malt vinegar flavor with parmesan, served with truffle mayo and ketchup. The espresso martini was good, but I've had better elsewhere in Frederick. My brother in law ordered the Ube Bae to-go and shared with us. The cake was purple, fluffy, light, and not too sweet. It's topped with the yummiest cereal milk whipped topping, fruity pebbles, and desiccated coconut. Perfect dessert! I've been here a few times and it's always a good experience. I'd recommend it! read more

Great pizza, sandwiches and cream of crab soup. The pizza is airy and the delicious. The chicken cutlets sandwiches are really good as well.

White Rabbit, the first stop on our tour of Frederick for my birthday weekend, is a gem and it seems like people know that. Pro tip: If you're going/ have never been, get on the waitlist online before you leave and then leave when you're basically commute time to there left on the timer. They're tucked into an alley just before "Brewer's Alley" off Market Street. Ambiance is 10/10 a very cute. Staff are all delightful, great conversationalists and yeah. We got the "Martha Stewart's prison Pizza"--my only nitpick was the Lemon Ricotta wasn't centered on a couple of the slices and was more near the crust--the Vegan cheese pizza (Wife is lactose intolerant) which was great, especially the tomato sauce, and the vegan brussels sprouts (for the same reason) which were AMAZING as well as the truffle fries. Food was stellar and we ad good beers too. This will be on our list whenever we come up to Frederick if we need food. read more

I drove 45 minutes after the snow just to come here and honestly it was worth it. I am not from Frederick and ended up getting stuck in an alley that was not plowed well. After some stress I managed to get out and park in a garage nearby. The food made all of that completely worth it. I had been stuck in the house for four days and really wanted this pizza and it did not disappoint. The waitress and Ricky were incredibly kind and welcoming which made the experience even better. Sorry my picture only shows half the pizza I was hungry and could not wait. I would absolutely do it all over again for this food. read more

My husband and I love going to white rabbit. The pizza is awesome. I love the dark cozy vibe. More than that is the staff is great. We sat at the bar upstairs yesterday and Erinn was our bar tender and server. Her bright personality was so welcomed after a few days stuck at home. Her genuine smile and relaxed personality were a joy, and her ability to keep everything running was awesome. Thanks for a great evening! read more

My first visit to White Rabbit Gastropub was NOT my last! What a great staff! They are all very friendly and accommodating, answering questions, refilling glasses, and checking in with us throughout our visit. The space itself - so beautiful! The accents and lighting make the atmosphere feel inviting and chic. The food - delicious!! We ordered the cheese steak empanadas as an appetizer which were so tasty - only came with four per order so you may want to consider ordering two! The Carmela's Cutlet was a great choice. My friend enjoyed it and I definitely ate some of the fries! No regrets! The The Veronica Vaughn? The size was intimidating at first but the taste surprised me! I have had Detroit-style pizza before and have been disappointed. This time? Absolutely not! Great sauce, great crust and definitely happy to save the rest for lunch the next day.

Food was good, service even better. They have indoor (up and downstairs) and outdoor seating. We were greeted right when we walked in and once seated they offered QR codes or handheld menus.

So far one of our Favorite places in Frederick and we didn't even eat there.  Loved the atmosphere at the White Rabbit and its location (down an ally by the parking garage). Not a large space, but two floors with a different vibe on each. The ground floor bar is right at the taps containing a good selection of craft beer! The second floor has a speakeasy/lounge atmosphere and mixes amazing cocktails.  Service was prompt and friendly from the bar tenders!  The Negroni I ordered was delicious, but the Jefferson Airplane Old-Fashioned was one of the best we've had!  Spot on flavors and presentation.   All the food we saw being served looked great, especially the pepperoni pizza. Definitely will dine here next time. read more

Got the same Gluten Free pizza for takeout tonight, except it wasn't the same. When we got it before, we thought the crust was too good to be Gluten Free, and this time the crust was completely different and more similar to Gluten Free pizzas we've had at other restaurants. Our conclusion: we were served the wrong pizza last time. Fortunately, we don't have Celiac disease. Not reducing the number of stars at this point. Hopefully the mistake made on our first visit was an honest mistake that will not be repeated! read more

Get the malt vinegar aioli! We stopped here for dinner on a Saturday night, and were happy to have gotten a table right away, even though it was incredibly busy.

I upgraded to the truffle fries and was very happy I did so read more

I waited so long for my food, I had to serve myself some ice from my cup I was so hungry . But I understand, they were really busy so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. However, when I finally got my food they forgot my ketchup. But accidents happen you know, so I asked the waitress for ketchup. Some time passes and the waitress comes back and she asks if we are ok. And I'm like "my ketchup?". Bro I swear she gave me a rbf ‍ In other words I felt like there was some attitude for asking for my ketchup again. That's my rant. But other than that THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! Come here for sure if you big back like me read more

If you find yourself in Fredrick, MD, and want an excellent place to get a beer and a burger, you must give this place a shot. It's hidden behind the church street parking garage. They have over 40 taps at the bar. The mood is chill with good music, a little dark. There is seating upstairs for large parties. Ok, regarding the food, I had the smash burger solid as an MOFO. Very, very good. As I was destroying my burger, many people ordered the cheese bread. The dude beside me had one; it looked like a French-bread cheese pizza. It looked amazing. I sat at the bar, and the bartender did a great job; she was super friendly. I would come back here and get the cheese bread. read more

My oh my, a new favorite restaurant of mine!!! This is a really cool low-lit grungy place. The service was great! She was very friendly. The food was amazing. I cannot wait to go back and it's definitely a new Frederick favorite. The pizza is square and thick and so delicious - it reminds me of a pan style pizza. The smash burger was sooooo good, it's definitely not a fancy thick burger, it's your basic American patty, cheese, pickles burger and it definitely hit the spot. The cheesesteak empanadas were delicious too. I can't wait to try more food but I found what we ordered to be so good that I also wouldn't mind getting the same items! I also tried the margarita and espresso martini and both were delicious! Some places you know you should get a martini, but this place did the espresso martini well. I can't wait to come back. I plan on recommending this place to all my friends! read more
