Food was perfect. We had the mozzarella appetizer and I had the That Chicken and a jalapeno burger, it had onion straws We are here now, Sunday and crushed are all $5. My favorite drink as a MD native. Bathroom CLEAN!!! Live music Sunday!!! We are having the best time read more

I love these types of places that are locally owned where you can meet fun people. The food is good and service here is friendly and they welcome dogs on the outdoor patio. The outdoor seating can get a bit hot because the concrete barriers do not allow air to flow but you forget all that after a few buckets if beers and a good band. Prices are fair and you don't have to worry about parking. read more

Great neighborhood bar with happy and friendly bar tenders ...and the burger was really good ...nice collection of on-tap beer for a smallish place seemingly in the middle of nowhere ...what a find! I've had my eye on this bar/restaurant for several months and yesterday we visited it! Complete satisfaction! Wonderful atmosphere and definitely a substantial local business that embraces its customers by genuinely welcoming them and then serving them really good bar staples! Fried pickles: Winner! Burger: Winner! Fries: Winner! Beer selection: Excellent! WINNER! 20 minutes from Frederick -- and about that far from Harpers Ferry BTW: Hello Rene and Chad, my new Deadhead friends (it's a big family, eh) read more

Went my Favorite country bar today. Food is normally super. Made the mistake to order the $18 Rueben. Beyond any doubt. Was the worst Rueben in my life. Dried up bread. Hardly any sauerkraut. No thousand island sauce. NONE!!. Meat was dry. I am sorry to say. Was brutal!!!! Who was cooking today around one o'clock???? read more

The food was surprisingly good and a relaxed atmosphere. And prices are affordable. I will definitely go back.

A fun and almost magical place. We were driving through northern Montgomery County, stopping at various Civil War spots, wineries, cideries, and meaderies. It got to be dinnertime, and we were in the middle of nowhere, so we turned to Yelp for guidance. From the ratings and reviews, this seemed like an obvious choice. Yelp was right! On the outside, this place looks like a rundown bar and the inside is no different. However, even at 5 PM the place had plenty of customers. And just about everyone was laughing and having fun. The place seemed to exude fun and friendliness. The menu was standard bar food, burgers, sandwiches, and other things you might expect. I ordered a medium-well burger and was brought to my table hot and medium-well. The patty was thick and tasty, the bun was fresh, and the fries were delicious. I know we won't drive the 60 miles to get from our home to there and am equally certain that if we're ever anywhere nearby that we'll make a point of going back. read more

Their food is so good! No matter what I order when I go there they never disappoint! Their service is great and the cooks are the best part. Foods so delicious!! My whole family enjoys coming here. read more

Love Brookside! Their bone in wings are THE BEST WINGS in Maryland! And their French fries are awesome too. Todays lunch was fried pickles, jalepeno burger, homemade chips, and wings read more

We found this little jewel during a poker ride back in August. Of course we only had a beer but kept seeing food coming out of the kitchen that looked amazing, and said we'd come back. Today we decided to take a trip to Frederick and go have lunch. Food did NOT disappoint!!! I got the fried tomatoes with balsamic YUMMY and the Ruben which was VERY good. Hubs got the burgers and he loved it. We will need to come back!! read more

Based on the reviews we stopped in for an early dinner. They had some specials but we went for some of our own picks. It's a bar... so ambiance is a bar. But the food is well worth it. Got fried pickles - they were huge.... Fried with panko I think. Unlike anything I've had before. I had the Reuben and it was the best rye bread I've ever had- and I'm from Bklyn. Son got the brisket burger and it looked good. Fries were good too. Can't go wrong. Waitress was nice and helpful as well. read more

3.5 stars, but I rounded up to 4 because I'd hate to deter people from visiting a local restaurant when I know they're hurting right now (COVID). Solid bar food and spacious patio to hang out with friends, but not my ideal dive bar. The service was friendly, so no complaints there! I'll go dish by dish. 1) Brisket poutine - I'm not a poutine person but my fiance thought the shoestring fries worked well in it. Everyone at our table seemed satisfied with this item. 2) the nightmare sauce wings - my fiance is a hot sauce fiend so he had to try these. I knew they weren't nearly as spicy as advertised when he asked if I wanted to try them (my spice tolerance isn't anywhere near his level). It was enough spice to keep me from having a second bite because the spice level overpowered the other flavors for me. My fiance liked the flavor but said they could've been spicier. The gloves that came with them were appreciated though since you definitely don't want the sauce getting in your eyes (ouch!). 3) old bay wings - I liked these ones and would get them again! 4) goat cheese burger - this one was a disappointment for me for a couple reasons. I ordered it medium and it arrived well done. I'm not sure why they even bothered asking how we wanted our burgers cooked because my fiance's burger (also ordered medium) was also well done. Just say on the menu that all burgers are well done/don't ask so we know what to expect. It had good flavor, though. Still, not worth $16. I wanted a salad for a side but was told that either fries or chips were my options, period. The truffle fries were good but how many fries can one person eat? We were already getting the poutine. I felt weighed down/a bit sick to my stomach after all of the fries but I was hungry and that's what I was given. Our friends likes their grilled chicken sandwich and BLT wrap. This place just needs to put more thought into how they cook their burgers/what they can reasonably offer with 4 oz patties, and healthier side options even if it means an upcharge. Salads are on the menu so I know there's lettuce in the kitchen. read more

Hole-in-the wall bar with great food and nice servers. Can't wait to go back when I can sit outside on the patio. The burger was so good!

Wings were amazing. They have multiple flavors and you buy by the piece. Service is as good as food. Lots of regulars but they don't mind you dropping in for food. I brought my 18 year old daughter for wings. Can not wait to take others. Best wings in Frederick read more

Never knew this place existed until friday and man i am so happy i stopped by! Looking for some wings but something different not your typical local spots. Went on google and saw "maple" flavored wings and HAD to order. We actually stopped in for their friday night wing special (as seen in the picture) all you can eat and a two hour limit. It took a bit due to being short staffed but they made sure we were attended and drinks were refilled. Super friendly staff and friendly customers as well; it was friday night karaoke and the dj made it a blast! My favorites were honey old bay and the maple; no way it's a dry rub tasting just like syrup. 13/10 for flavor read more

This was a weird kind of gem in the middle of rural Maryland! We were visiting the cidery up the road and were famished after our visit. We found this joint on Yelp and had to check it out just based on the reviews. When we got there, we thought we found the wrong place. Talk about a diamond in the rough! Rough doesn't begin to cover it! It basically looks like a dive bar from the outside and the first impression when you walk in. The internal décor is a throwback to the 70s at the latest, maybe even earlier. But, look deeper and you'll see the aesthetic of a hip joint with one foot in the country and the other in the metropolitan (though no offense to either genre). The food is anything but simple bar fare, though. Brisket Poutine... I mean... just order it and you'll see what I mean. A lot of places are all: "Yeah, we smoke our brisket for yadda yadda yadda..." and you order it... and it's just... beef. This brisket? And this is just for the poutine, mind... This brisket is FULL of smoky beefy meaty goodness! It's incredible! And the rest of the ingredients match up to it. The burgers and other sandwiches were amazing as well, but I got full on those brisket fries man! I didn't have room for much else. With three of us splitting apps, we still got full right away. That speaks to the decent sized portions. All of us left with a to-go box with basically our entire entree in tow. The drinks were also pretty inventive and pretty hip, if I do say. Not pretentious, but approachable and delicious. Our server was a peach. Super-helpful, really friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The bartender was nice to talk to as well. Honestly, my only complaint was the interior. Even with walking the line between the local/country community and the hipster tourists that come by, the tables and chairs look like they're going to fall apart any day now. It's ever-so-slightly uncomfortable. It's not enough to deter me from going back, but it could use a little TLC is all. Overall, what a great find in the middle of practically nowhere! Definitely worth returning to, as there is so much on the menu I can't wait to try next! read more

Cute small business on the side of the road. Service was friendly and and food was good. I recommend the grilled cheese and the salt and vinegar fries or the Cajun Fries. read more

The chicken sandwiches are amazing. Crispy outside, perfectly cooked inside. And while the fries are very good (lots of flavor choices), the homemade chips are my favorite. Service is slow, but the food's cooked to order - relax. It's worth the wait. read more

Beautiful location if you sit outside, really friendly helpful staff and the Reuben and burger were simply great. We will be back read more

Great dive bar. Better burgers, wings are solid. Appetizers are all tasty. Zero complaints.

Poutine Brisket fries and Raspberry Vodka Lemonade on a socially distanced outdoor deck. A perfect summer evening. The Poutine fries were amazing. Shoestring fries heaped in a pie tin, smothered with brown gravy, topped with meaty piles of thinly-shaved brisket then smothered in cheese and broiled until the cheese was a melty, gooey covering and the edges of the brisket were crisp. My son ordered the Blackened Chicken wrap, and he said it was very good. The chicken was spicy, but not over powering, and the kitchen prepared his special order (no tomato, no bacon, add cheese), correctly. Our server suggested the Raspberry Vodka Lemonade, saying the lemonade was freshly made. Excellent recommendation. The drink was icy and sweet, with just enough tart to pucker my mouth and make me reach for another sip. It was so tasty that I ordered a second, good thing that I had my son to drive as the Inn doesn't skimp on mixed drinks. Our server was pleasant and attentive, and made sure to tell us about the Monday night burger special. We will be back. read more

We decided to try someplace new tonight, and were not disappointed. I had the Brisket Burger, which was a nice size and very juicy and flavorful. I got it with a side of their homemade chips, which were pretty incredible themselves. The food was excellent, and the waiter was very nice and attentive. He even gave us 10% off since it was our first time eating there. We'll definitely be back. read more

Came here with my daughter as a stop along the way to Virginia. A rough-around-the-edges local crowd. I think everyone knew each other but us. This is usually a good sign, and that was no exception here. We started with the poutine. A bit heavy, but definitely tasty. Fries are more of the shoestring variety. The gravy was yummy. I had 6 wings and my daughter had the chicken sandwich. Wings were good. Chicken sandwich was a bit dry and could have been a little spicier. If it were just a food rating, I'd give it 3 stars, but our waitress was very friendly and made us feel right at home. I can see why the locals love this place. read more

We found this little gem while cruising in her Jeep. Nice place, cool atmosphere, good service and great food. Will absolutely go back when it is cooler to sit out on the deck, relax and enjoy the views! read more

The atmosphere was perfect for our outing after work. 2 of us were planning on getting drinks however, management gave us the turnaround because our valid IDs were "vertical and out of state". Extremely disappointing. Would not recommend especially as the food is more expensive than listed on its website. read more

The service has definitely changed since we have been there last. Our appetizer came out with our food so it was obviously forgotten about until we told a different server. There was a hair in my rueben. Not sure we will be back. read more

Great food! Best burgers! Service is good. I highly recommend. The only drawback is the size-- they need to expand their indoor dining!

Great local hangout for Sunday afternoon games Kid friendly with pool tables and plenty of seating I had the burger - it is actually two hand pattied burgers- well seasoned and cook well. read more

I was impessed with their website which specifically outlined their operating procedures during this Pandemic and when I arrived it was obvious that they were following it to the letter. I recently moved back to Frederick County and live nearby. A good friend had told me the food, especially the wings was ]very good so I placed a carryout order ( great idea they employ] is to ask what time )you want to pick up your food) and when I arrived I decided to have a drink. The bartender told me all the inside tables were taken and would I like to sit outside. It was breezy and the view was lovely. My Margherita was delivered to my table and it was just what I needed. I ordered Old Bay wings with Blue Cheese Dressing ( if you want celery there is an additional charge. The wings did not disappont. They were meaty, moist with a crispy OLD BAY exterior, not at all greasy. The Blue Cheese dressing could benefit from additional chunks of cheese because it tasted more like Ranch. I also ordered a cheeseburger, medium rare with plain fries. The fries were a little more well done than I prefer but it was clear they were fresh cut. The cheeseburger contained two patties of quality ground beef however it was not medium rare and the edges were black and crispy. I asked for lettuce, tomato and onion which were on the sandwich but were chopped up. I prefer slices of tomato and onion and leaves of lettuce but again its all up to preference. The wait staff was friendly and efficient. I definitely plan to return as there are many more menu items I want to sample. Prices are reasonable and the area is really blessed to have this gem. read more

I ordered the Brookside burger. It was two single patty cheeseburgers, each occupying one half of the sandwich. I ordered medium, it was closer to well done. Assembly was obviously not a priority. The flavor was good. I ate the whole thing so obviously...The garlic truffle fries were disappointing. The flavor was almost there but too much minced garlic took over. The menu has many options to explore and I will go back to try something else out. read more

I mean... Wow. These guys (and gals) do it right. And I reserve 5 stars for places that leave me wanting for nothing. It's a dive bar, but the food is phenomenal. The service? Spot on. (And cute). Clientele? Super friendly. I wish I had a reason to stop by on the regular. It would definitely be "my spot" if I lived nearby. Nice job gang! Try the cheesesteak. It might be the best I've had so far in Maryland. The Reuben is really good too. read more
