    The Burger is a must have, probably one of the best burgers I've experienced. It comes topped with cheddar, bacon and caramelized onions. Order it medium-rare, bite in and enjoy!

    I never would've expected the quality of food, exceptional service and comfortable setting in a renovated car dealer in Frederick... but it's all three. We'll definitely be back!

    Really nice place. The name suggest we we're about to hit up a Denny's but it's more of a gastropub with a lot of mixing flavors and new types of dishes. No complaints (aside from change the name) :-P

    Fried chicken plate is delicious but huge - 4 pieces of fried chicken (leg, wing, breast, and thigh) + 2 chives and cheese biscuits + assorted vegetables and pickles

    Went for the first time for Saturday brunch. The staff was absolutely wonderful helping my chaotic family of 4 (with 2 kids under 3.5 years). Food was delicious and I wanted to stay for lunch :)

    The best breakfast spot in Frederick. FM is also a good option for lunch and dinner. FM helps make the point that downtown Frederick is THE place for better food. One of Frederick's best.

    This place is a perfect example of a restaurant making good food with simple ingredients. The Strata and Pineapple Mint Waffles are amazing. Everything is housemade - right down to the hot sauce.

    Fantastic prawns w grits & gravy, fried green tomatoes, & lemon meringue pie. Simple classics done perfectly w a twist. Service just ok, a few minor annoyances, but the food more than makes up for it!

    If you were once a couple who loved to eat out at great places but then you had kids and found yourself eating more at Dennys- this place will rescue you. Kid-friendly, but with the great food!

    Suppress your snickers and give "precious comfort food" a try. The fried chicken is very good, not Lady and Sons good, but really good and the chicken pot pie bites are other worldly.

    Best fried chicken. Better then lady and sons ( sans other comment ) perfectly seasons and crispy. If your not into that get the mushroom risotto. Drinks are perfect too.

    Start your meal with the wedge salad (little gem lettuce, bacon, gorgonzola). Refreshing.

    From our review: "There is a perfect fried chicken supper" with "marvelously crispy" skin. Fried green tomatoes and chicken pot pie fritters are "note-perfect." Read more: http://bsun.md/U6rQol

    If you are into root beer, they have "adult" root beer floats, made with root liquor, ice cream, and marshmallows.

    Kinda pricey for some items, but the food is always fantastic quality. Try the chicken pot pie fritters or the bourbon ice cream for a real treat!

    Service was great! Limited menu but meals were good but pricy I think. Vanilla Milkshake tasted like frozen milk. Would eat there again but maybe try something different.

    Must get the chicken pot pie fritters - it's like bite size chicken pot pie in a fried shell.

    The pancakes were almost bitter tasting. The coffee was very bitter. The bacon was perfect and the home fries were as well. Even though I was the only diner the waitress seemed eager for me to leave.

    I could drink their coffee black, which is a testament to how great it is. I wish they delivered to DC!!!

    The fried chicken is 4 pieces of chicken which is enough to bring a piece or two home for dinner/lunch. The chocolate milkshake is good with the marshmallow but not worth the $5.

    Fried chicken salad sandwich- not so much. Duck French fries were a total score. Reservations are a good idea but we didn't have to wait too long.

    S. California introduced fish tacos to the US. A good portion of my life was spent in SoCal. FM's fish tacos fit easily among the best of SoCal. Nothing around here even comes close. The fish is Opah!

    OK, we went here be of the stars of this place. However I believe it's overrated. The food is good but kind of bland and over priced for what you get.
