    Touch screen service. Connected to a brewery which is awesome. Parking was simple. Had the double spicy smash burger with poblano cream cheese which was the start...texturally creamy without the sweetness of say a peanut butter on a burger. The ghost pepper chicken was awesome for heat. Chicken a bit basic but next time I'd just not upcharge for the chicken and stick with the amazing smash patties with the ghost pepper profile

    We were in the area looking for food and the 1/2 beef, 1/2 BACON is what got us! It's sort've connected to a brewery, but there is plenty of seating to dine in. Everyone ordered a different burger and all were made to order. We also ordered a side of the old bay fries and sweet potato fries. The burgers were tasty and juicy. I would recommend them. The old bay fries were a bit on the salty/spicy side...had way too much seasoning on them. Overall, good burger joint.

    Nice little hidden gem! The place was a little hard to find but I was looking for a stand alone restaurant with a big sign out front. It is attached to a brewery with a side entrance. The staff were friendly all the way around, inside the taproom and restaurant. I liked my burger but my kiddos didn't. Overall I will come back and try some of the other burgers on the menu. Also I need to check the taproom next time. I definitely recommend this place if you're a burger person.

    We stopped at Fifty Fifty for lunch today. The food was fresh, delicious, and made from good quality ingredients. I ordered the Fifty Fifty lunch special for $10. This included the original Fifty Fifty burger with fries. We placed our orders through the kiosks, so no human to place an order through. But the food was made to order and we received our orders pretty quickly. The ambiance is very casual. It's colocated with Olde Mother Brewery next door. Theres lots of indoor seating and some outdoor seating. It's fairly easy to get to with street parking. I definitely would recommend coming here for a great local burger experience.

    We were in Frederick for Mother's Day and thought we would try this place for a good burger. All I can say is unbelievable ! . The best burgers we've had in years and we've been all over the country even in Texas. My wife had the BACKLASH burger and I had the OGRE. The self-serve monitors were user-friendly, and it was very easy to order. The service was very fast too. The ambience of the restaurant is a little odd with all the walls painted black and it is in the back of a local pub brewery. Regardless, we didn't care because the burgers here are simply fantastic. Not to mention the french fries were great too. We will definitely go here again when we are in Frederick.

    Stopped by for lunch. These are some of the best burgers around. The blend of 50% beef and 50% bacon make for great flavor and crust . This is my third visit. The first 2 times I got the Oklahoma Animal. Double patty, sauteed onions and their Oklahoma sauce. This time I went a little rogue. I got their PBPB&BB 2 spiced patties, crunchy peanut butter and pickles. So weird but for some reason it worked. I paired it with a chocolate peanut butter porter from Olde Mother Brewery which is attached. Service is always fast and friendly. We usually sit on the brewery side.

    Burger was half bacon half ground beef unique flavor not bad. They drowned our burgers in the sauces that came on them while I'm glad it was plentiful it was a bit excessive and caused the bread to be really soggy. Everything was fresh and made to order. It's a great vibe for sure and relaxed. I definitely would go back for their events like trivia night etc. Service was nice as well. The bartender was cool and made our drinks really strong and flavorful.

    Cute and fun little place. Actually, it's not so little. It is attached to the Olde Mother Brewing. There is also a small outdoor section. You have to place an order at the kiosks which is not my favorite thing to do. I would prefer human interaction. We ordered old bay fries which was a little too salty. The onion rings (extra crispy) were delicious. I liked my burger with all the toppings while my friend thought his burger was a little too salty. Maybe all the toppings I had cut the saltiness. It was overall a fun adventure.

    Burger was really good other than it was cold. I had my phone on table and did not know they would notify by text since they took my name. Food sat on there front counter for 11 minutes without me knowing it was ready. I went to check on meal and it was sitting there in a bag with my name on it. Burger was good just cold since it say there for so long. The fries were good to other than they sat there for 11 minutes. What's sad is I gave them an $8 dollar tip in advance hoping to get good service. Instead it was the opposite. A local came in after me and they greeted him and even joked with him. We did not get a hi or anything when we came to the front counter. Just wish we had a better experience.

    Great place. This place is split with half bar/half restaurant with seatings for a variety of group sizes. The staff are quick and always on the move. I got my food in a relatively quick time. I ordered on their ipad but they also had a counter where you can order face-to-face. I got two burgers and fries for takeout, the ogre and a make your own. Both were really good and full of flavor. The Fries were seasoned well. The prices were a little high but the size and flavor made up for it. It was messy to eat it but all in all I would recommend and would get it again

    As we walked in, we noticed the really cool ambiance, with a laid back, street vibe. The kind of place to come with friends, but was great for our family to have lunch too. We ordered a Peter Piper, it was delicious (my favorite of everything we ordered)! The pickled cherry peppers were spicy, but not too much so it gave it the perfect kick to go with the sweetness of the bourbon molasses. My son had the Ogre burger which was HUGe, but he said was really good. We also had an Old Fashioned, which was really juicy and flavorful and a kids menu which included fries, a juice box, the burger and a burger gummy. It was so large and customizable. My daughter loved it. Regarding service, we ordered everything through the kiosk, so we didn't actually deal with people, but everything was quick, smooth. The sweet potato fries with blueberry sauce were delish and the regular fries had a lot and delicious seasoning. We fully recommend this place!

    Bourbon burger and Cajun fries.

    They are attached to olde mother brewing co. We sat at the bar and ordered from their QR code. I got a bourbon burger and my wife got a peanut butter burger. She added the sour cherry jam and said it was delicious. I got Cajun fries and she got sweet potato. Both were delicious. The service was quick. They were made in 10 minutes. It was a laid back experience for a nice lunch spot on a Saturday afternoon.

    We went to the shooting range and got hungry so we looked up places to eat in Frederick. Came across this page and decided to give it a try. I got the Peter Piper smash burger and it was off the chain. 5 of us went and each got a different burger and everyone was highly satisfied with what they got. The place is also located inside of a brewery so that was a plus. The atmosphere was great. You can tell a lot of pipeline go there to hang out and eat. Will def be back when I'm in the area.

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.

Overall, it's a great restaurant and one I'd still recommend to anyone visiting or living in Frederick.

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 had driven two hours and was hungry, but I was also committed to making good decisions. Or at least mostly good decisions... The hostess offered me a seat at the second-floor bar rather than the quoted 25-30 minute wait. Great! Solo diners love surprise upgrades. Unfortunately, when I got upstairs, the one "available" seat had apparently been claimed by a diaper bag and a giant straw sunhat belonging to the woman sitting next to it holding a too-little-to-walk baby sitting at the bar. Uhhh...this isn't going to work. Back downstairs I went. I gave them my name and number, found a shady spot outside, and settled in for what I assumed would be a long wait. Five minutes later, my table was ready. Thank you, Universe! My server greeted me with water immediately, explained the QR code menu situation, and told me not to order through the app because she'd be right back. No worries, friend. I'd already done my homework. I knew exactly what I wanted. One Martha Stewart's Prison Pizza ($22), please. (Sausage, broccoli, ricotta, Calabrian chili peppers, lemon oil, and sea salt.) I asked for the chili peppers on the side because I know myself. I like adventure. I don't enjoy possibly setting my mouth on fire. And a Diet Pepsi ($3.50), because balance. While I waited, I people-watched, which is one of my favorite hobbies. White Rabbit was PACKED. The patio was full. The downstairs bar was full. Upstairs was full. Couples, groups of girlfriends, older folks, younger folks, families, solo diners...everyone seemed happy to be there. The place itself is pretty small, which explains the wait. Six tables downstairs, maybe eight bar seats, more seating upstairs, and a constant dance of servers carrying food through the same front door customers use. Add the "please wait to be seated" crowd gathering in the narrow hallway and I'd describe things as organized chaos. But once I was seated, I was perfectly comfortable and out of the traffic pattern. One cool touch I noticed: outlets and USB ports built right into the front of the bar. Maybe that's common and I've somehow missed it all these years, but I thought it was pretty neat. Then my pizza arrived. Oh good lawd. OH. GOOD. LAWD. This pizza was SO GOOD! I knew from the first bite that I was in trouble. There was no sauce, which surprised me at first, but after approximately three seconds I no longer cared. The sausage was plentiful. The broccoli added texture. The ricotta was creamy and rich. And that lemon oil?! That lemon oil set it off! Everything just worked together perfectly. The Calabrian peppers arrived on the side exactly as requested. I bravely sampled a very small amount on my fork before desecrating my pizza and quickly determined that folks with stronger heat tolerance than me will absolutely love them. They were just a little too spicy for my delicate tastebuds. Thankfully, the pizza was incredible without them. And those slices? MONSTERS. I ate one and seriously contemplated a second before reminding myself that I had dessert plans elsewhere. A box was requested. Self-control was exercised. Barely. As a solo diner, I also want to give White Rabbit extra points. Multiple staff members checked on me throughout the meal. I never felt forgotten, rushed, or weird sitting by myself. Everyone was warm, kind, and made me feel completely comfortable. I really appreciated that. My total bill came to $32.44 including tip which felt really reasonable given the amount of pizza I consumed and brought home. Worth every penny. I'm already scheming my next two-hour drive back. Maybe a smashburger. Maybe those Brussels sprouts everyone keeps raving about. Maybe another pizza. Maybe all of it! I highly recommend checking out White Rabbit. Make it a destination, not just a stop while you're in the area. Don't let the size of the place or the wait scare you off. It's totally worth it. PRO TIP: If you park in the Church Street Parking Garage, look for the staircase labeled "STAIR 3." White Rabbit is literally right outside the door at the bottom. No hide-and-seek required!
