Wonderful surprise Things that didn't go well The waiter was covering way too many tables including the bar area. Which inevitably caused lack luster service. He was great when he stopped by. I had to stare him down to get him. My husband asked for no onions but he got them anyway. Our appetizer came out moments before our food. The ticket for an appetizer,two lunches, and Mac n cheese for my son with 20% tip was 80 bucks. Pretty steep. I doubt that I will come again but we will see. I will try again with their brunch service.

OK, I did not order the burger and fries, but my boyfriend did, and I ate half the fries on his plate, they were that good! Great, friendly, with generous pours for wine, and just a really friendly, great place with perfect food for a winter day. I wish I could find a place like this in Washington, DC.

I genuinely don't know what happened here. Although it's been a while since I last paid this burger…read morespot a visit, I now really can't claim I'll be back. They appear to still be using their 50/50 beef and bacon blend, and they were grinding/blending more meat when I arrived. The finished product itself makes me seriously question their palette. While smash style burgers aren't my favorite, I have enjoyed some good ones. The one I was served today was so smashed that any residual flavor from the meat blend was virtually eliminated. This was then overwhelmed by the sheer smack-your-face acid from the pickles and mustard. Further cementing my poor experience, the server acted as though my order was an afterthought. Probably not the attitude one should express towards any patron, much less to start the business day. There are LOTS of outstanding burger options in and surrounding Frederick. Given that, this genuinely poor experience, and the premium charge for their products; I am fairly certain I won't be back.

It's the kind of place you can settle into and enjoy a relaxed meal. The staff definitely added to the experience--they were friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal without being overbearing. As for the food, it was a bit of a mixed bag but still enjoyable overall. The boneless wings were just okay--nothing particularly memorable--but the pretzel with beer cheese was a standout. Warm, soft, and paired perfectly with a rich, flavorful cheese sauce, it's definitely something I'd go back for. For mains, we ordered the Reuben and the skirt steak. The Reuben was solid and satisfying, but the steak initially came out a little cold. That said, the manager handled it exactly how you'd hope--quickly addressing the issue and bringing out a fresh, properly prepared steak, which made a big difference and really showed their commitment to good service. Overall, it's a great place with a unique atmosphere, strong service, and some standout menu items. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you're in the mood for a laid-back pub experience with a bit of character.

Quick review based on many visits. Best. Prime. Rib. In. Frederick…read more Seriously. It's well seasoned, perfectly cooked, tender, and very flavorful The jus that comes with it is beefy and not over-salted as many are. My only gripe: you have to ask for horseradish to add to their horseradish sauce as it's really weak. I always the same sides: Caesar Salad and a baked potato. The salad is drenched with dressing by default, so I've learned to ask for dressing on the side. (And to 86 the sun-dried tomatoes. Who does that to a Caesar?). The potato is always well baked, with a fluffy interior and crisp exterior (and yes, I eat the skin. As my Mom used to say, "That's where the nutrients are"). I always ask for LOTS of butter, always get less butter than I want (they will bring more). I also always ask for chives, but they send out scallions (and actually had a server tell me their cook said "what's the difference?"). Minor quibbles all. A nice bourbon cocktail and warm rolls with honey butter to start, and my dinner is complete. No idea about their desserts; never made it that far, but someday... Enjoy!

The main dining room is absolutely gorgeous with the stonework and architecture. The bar area was very busy as we were on the tail end of their happy hour. Our server walked us through the menu. We started with the ravioli appetizer. It had shaved truffles on top and egg yolk covered in Parmesan cheese. They almost had a little crunch to them and the inside was filled with ricotta cheese. The sides are à la carte as is most of the menu. I ordered the tavern burger. It came with beef fat glaze among other spreads and was very well seasoned. The side of beef fat fries were also well seasoned and crispy. The best dish was the pot roast. It was so tender and the gravy was so flavorful. This paired perfect with their creamy mashed potatoes. The service was decent but the food and atmosphere was absolutely amazing. They have a huge variety of cocktails and wine. It's a bit more formal Dining. It doesn't require a jacket or anything.

We received fantastic service from start to finish, from being seated right at our reservation time to our server answering our dietary needs questions to our dishes coming out in a timely and well-paced manner. Wye Oak's ambiance being set in a former church/religious institution is unique, providing an interesting ambiance. However, the food left much to be desired. While the presentation on every dish ranged from good to amazing, out of the seven dishes we shared only 1.5 of them were delicious. Some of the dishes were bland and one note; others were overcooked or overseasoned. We shared the following dishes: Coddies: While the cod was perfectly cooked and breaded, it had no flavor. The cauliflower tartar sauce added nothing to the dish; the cauliflower giardiniera at least added some nice crunch and acid. Savory Parmesan Cheesecake: The cheesecake had no flavor; the acid and freshness of the cherry tomatoes of the arugula pesto could not elevate or salvage this dish. Cheese Ravioli: By far the best dish of the evening. The ravioli tasted fresh, were nicely cooked, and the cheeses and sauce were delicious. Smoked Beet Pastrami: The beets were well-cooked and fantastically seasoned, complemented perfectly by the dressing. However, there needed to be more beets and a better beet-to-funnel cake ratio; while the funnel cake added some nice crunch, there was way too much of it and did not do much for the dish. Brussels Sprouts: Well-seasoned, although very greasy and overcooked. Broccoli di Ciccio: Perfectly cooked, but very salty. It did have good heat. House Rolls with butter: Warm and fine, but nothing distinct. I would try elsewhere if you are looking to dine out in Frederick, especially given Wye Oak Tavern's prices.
