Great Wing spot in Frederick!…read more We ordered the Wing bucket which includes 50 wings with five different sauce options for $70. They have a special if you arrive before six the bucket is only $50. We sampled jerk, honey old Bay, Thai chili, mango habanero, and honey barbecue. The jerk didn't really taste like jerk to us. I also probably wouldn't get the honey old bay next time. Service was friendly. They offer inside, outside and a big bar area. Plenty of parking near the mall.

Who knew Anchor was is in Frederick? We didn't. My wife, a Buffalonian born and raised and we've both been to the original Anchor Bar in Buffalo dozens of times so we had to check this location out. In the door we noticed the place was clean and had a very warm and cozy vibe but had a sports bar atmosphere with plenty on TV's to watch a sport of your choice. The staff was super friendly and the menu has all your favorites. Our server was Nicole who was actually amazing in every way, very sweet and attentive to whatever we wanted. We ordered a small pizza, The special which was ribs and a side, we chose Cole Slaw and of course wings (Original). The pizza was very good, had Cup n Char Pepperoni which is what I expect from a Buffalo bar/resteraunt. The only thing is it could have stayed on the brick another minute or so to crisp up the bottom more. The Ribs were dynamite, perfectly cooked with a slight char on the bottom. They were fall off the bone with an amazing smoke flavor. The Cole Slaw was awesomeness as its how we like it, sweet and creamy. Now, drum roll, the wings, cooked wonderfully to be juicy and saucy but...yes but, could have been a little crispier but, they were great. We live 50 minutes away and will travel to come back. Great job.

We got there ariund 4pm on a Saturday. It was 4th of July, but we were able to find street parking. And because it was a holiday, we didn't have to pay for parking! When we walked in, the bar was prettyfull, but there were plenty of high tops by the bar that were open. They have 3 TVs set up in the bar area, playing the soccer games. We got there at the perfect time. Our server came and took our drink orders. I went with a classic guava margarita, which I really enjoyed. We ordered tacos, carne and birria and the mixed pupusas. Everything was really good with great flavor. I was very impressed. We stayed for most of the game, and it got pretty busy. They also have a dining area in the back, which also has tvs set up. I would definitely come back and try other options on the menu. This will be a go to in Frederick for sure! Great place for food, drinks, and to watch the games.

Consistent Excellence & The Best Wedge Salad Ever!…read more I've been coming to BJ's for years and have honestly never had a bad experience--the food is always consistently great, so I'm genuinely surprised by any low reviews here. Today, my buddy and I stopped in for lunch while out on a motorcycle ride, and the service was fantastic. We both ended up ordering the Steakhouse Wedge salad, and it blew us away. The tri-tip was cooked spot-on, and the flavor was absolutely amazing. This is hands down the best wedge salad I have ever had. I already can't wait to go back and get it again!

Representing 2019 as a runner-up for an original out of town pick, B is for BJ's. I visited BJ's…read moretwice before, once in Tysons Corner, VA in June 2014 (see my 4-star review written in May 2018) and this location on a nice very warm Saturday, March 30, 2019. I went to a Meetup group hike on the border of Washington & Frederick County, and I met up with a friend, who later became a girlfriend. She drove us from North Bethesda where I met her. This was a long hike, and we were all worn out. The organizer of the Meetup said let's go to BJ's in Frederick on the way back to Montgomery County (where his Meetup group was based). I was looking forward to getting the pizza I enjoyed at BJ's Tysons 5 years earlier. Service was decent as I recall, but the pizza was smaller than I remembered and didn't taste as good. It wasn't bad, but it was kind of small for the price; so overall I was kind of disappointed. It was also a bit dark inside the restaurant, which I like getting a nice view of my food. This Meetup group did a variety of activities but often walks & hikes. It was an introvert Meetup. I'm more of an ambivert meaning I'm sometimes extrovert but other times can be an introvert. My friend is a total extrovert and was loud & boisterous at lunch. I don't think the organizer of the Meetup took too kindly to her. Then, that friend became a girlfriend, and I took her to another of his Meetup for games in August 2019 for games in the park. Organizer seemed disappointed in me (even though I wasn't particularly close with him) when I introduced her as my girlfriend as he remembered her from hike & BJ's. It was kind of an ongoing joke with us how he didn't like her. Maybe one of these days, I'll go back to BJ's; there's a location close to me in Laurel, but I'd get something other than the pizza.

Open seating/first come/first serve! They were very friendly and helpful to help orient us as our first time. The place is causal dining with surf/beach themes and fun causal place to hangout! Good amount of seating. The food, I had gotten their steak sandwich, hesitant not sure if the meat would be tender or the portion would've been worth while, however, it exceeded my expectations! The meat was tender and easy to just bite through and eat! Good flavor and something I'd totally go back for! 4/5! The wings were decent, flavor was good, but too wet for my personal preference, and I prefer a bit more of a crunch with my wings not really a grilled taste but decent, prob wouldn't order again. 3/5

I asked the front desk…read moreabout a restaurant near the hotel- but she & the General Manager asked if I had eaten at The Beacon? They raved about the menu and asked if I would try it & report back to them, good or bad. I ordered the appetizer Cesar salad which was fantastic! As you can see pictures the lettuce was crisp & green with the appropriate amount of dressing- you can add a protein- I chose not to as this was an appetizer. I also ordered the pulled pork sliders. The meat was cooked to perfection, the slaw was delicious on the slider, and the bun was fantastic- this was THE best pulled pork slider I've had. I can recommend The Beacon is a place I will revisit when I am back in this area.

We went at 4:30pm on a Sunday night when it wasn't too busy. Our waiter was very nice and came frequently to our table to check on us and asking if we needed anything. You can also make reservations online. Since the restaurant is located in a mountain area, I had no reception or internet. All the dishes we had were pretty good. They start you with warm complementary bread with butter. The filet mignon was our favorite dish with soft meat and mashed potatoes. The sauce was a little sour to complement the meat. The linguini in the seafood linguine was cooked soft so it's good for little kids, but if you would like it more al dente, you'll probably have to let them know. There were 3 mussels, 2 scallops and several shrimp all cooked well. The green beans were cooked so they were still crunchy. Some of mine were a bit too undercooked for me. There as a good amount of meat in the veal and pork bolognese over pappardelle. The noodle were cooked well and long. The Maryland crab soup was part of the daily dinner special. Wish there was more crab in the Maryland crab soup since I saw a lot of vegetables. It was pretty spicy which wasn't noted on the menu. The crème brûlée was cooked very well. Crispy sugar top and creamy inside.

While the garlic sauce was generous and delicious, the quality of the mussels themselves was disappointing. They were all open, but they had that "off" taste associated with older seafood. * The Main: Things turned around completely with the pork tenderloin. It was cooked perfectly and paired with a very flavorful sauce. Highly recommended! * The Dessert: Finished with the coconut cake. It was incredibly moist--perhaps a touch too sweet for my personal preference, but tasty enough that I'd definitely order it again. Overall, a great find with just a minor hiccup on the seafood. We'll be back!
