My sister and I came to Black Hog to celebrate our birthdays, and we had a really good experience!…read more We really wanted some BBQ. We visited the downtown location and sat at the bar. It was a rainy day, so unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy the rooftop, but the inside was nice and, since we went during the day, relatively quiet. First, a shout-out to our bartender! I wish I remembered her name because she was GREAT. She was friendly, personable, attentive, and really knowledgeable about the menu. Whenever we had a question she didn't know the answer to, she actually went and found out instead of just guessing. Her recommendations were also spot-on. So, girl, good job! One thing that pleasantly surprised me was the parking. I initially thought we were going to have to park on the street, but then I noticed they have FREE parking available. That's definitely a plus, especially downtown. The food was good overall. I ordered the wings with a side of mac and cheese and the brown sugar sweet potatoes. Let me tell you--the sweet potatoes were DELICIOUS! My sister agreed. Those were definitely one of my favorite things I had. My sister ordered the ribs with several sides. She ended up sending the baked beans back because they were a little too tangy/vinegary for her taste, but those fries? OH MY GOD. They were so good. She absolutely tore those fries up! I also had one of their smoked margaritas, and it was really good. It was different from a traditional margarita, but I really enjoyed it--so much that I ordered a second one. Since we went during the day, it was pretty quiet and there wasn't much going on, but honestly, that was fine. We were there to celebrate our birthdays, eat some good food, have some drinks, and enjoy each other's company, and that's exactly what we did. Overall, good food, good vibes, great service, and a nice atmosphere. And a special shout-out to our bartender for making the experience even better!

I'd seen reviews about Grannys so I thought we'd give it a try. I ordered fried chicken, candied yams, cabbage, and cheesecake. My partner ordered the trout (it looked fancy), macaroni & cheese and collard greens. The fried chicken, IMO, wasn't cooked hard enough. I ate two and let my partner have the other two. The candied yams and cabbage were good. Those are my go-to's! My partner didn't say much about her meal, but from the looks of things, she enjoyed it. But that Oreo cheesecake...... BABY!

We wanted a memorable place to mark the occasion and chose Showroom. I even noted both celebrations when making our reservation a week in advance. The hostess was friendly and kind, although clearer direction on where to wait would have helped. The front entrance was congested, and we felt like we were in everyone's way. Unfortunately, the service never matched the occasion. Our server never introduced themselves or acknowledged either celebration. They began taking orders without any engagement, and throughout the meal we were repeatedly unable to get their attention. I understand Sunday brunch is busy, but I work in a concierge-driven environment and was genuinely disappointed by the lack of hospitality. The food was mixed. The chicken and waffles and the omelet were good. My husband's steak was cold and the portion was very small. He ordered French fries but received unseasoned potatoes that lacked any flavor. My fish and chips were fine but also lacked seasoning, lemon, or any attention to detail. I specifically requested fries without Old Bay but received fries heavily coated in it. We also ordered a steak and eggs meal to go, which took about 30 minutes. When it was opened later, it contained only three small slices of steak. My brother-in-law genuinely thought he had been given someone's leftovers because the portion was so disappointing. My husband quietly paid the $300 bill while I still hoped someone might acknowledge the birthday or retirement with a simple mention, smile, or thank you. It never happened. We were never even offered a desert menu. We left without a goodbye or any acknowledgment from the staff. Disappointed doesn't begin to describe how we felt. We had many options in Frederick but chose Showroom because we expected a special experience. I could tell my family didn't want to complain because I had spoken so highly of the restaurant, but they were equally underwhelmed. Please do better.

There is some parking in front and there is a parking garage that is within walking distance. I ordered wings and a meatloaf platter that came with two sides. I ordered lemon pepper and the sticky wings. The wings were crispy but lacked the lemon pepper flavor. I wish the stinky wings had more of the sauce on them. The meatloaf was seasoned well. You could get smothered with gravy or their bbq sauce. For my sides I ordered the greens and mashed potatoes with gravy. The greens were seasoned well. I don't know if I would go back, simply because it was really far out for me. If you are in the area I would say am check it out. The staff and service was amazing.

The ribs are tender and each bite is packed with the flavor. They're slathered with sauce which may be off putting to some. For me, it was that perfectly fine balance between enough and flooded. Oh and the portion size? Amazing! Definitely enough to get full for dinner. Pass out for a minute then finish the rest the next day. The Mac and cheese was great. No, these aren't hand made noodles but the amount of cheese, the seasoning, evening l everything else was done expertly. If you want to save yourself an hour or two of cooking mac and cheese at home, get it here. The atmosphere here is very home cooking. It doesn't feel like it's some massive cookie cutter operation. It's nostalgic. This is what comfort food is supposed to taste like. Eating it made me think about fun times with the family back in Florida. While I made the order online, I was greeted as soon as I walked up to the counter. My order was done exactly when it said it would be done and was made with my additional request. I couldn't it be happier and look forward to many more orders and glad to have this place in the neighborhood.
