Given the recent hype, I had to try the new-and-improved Whopper. BK may have just lost me as a customer. The bun is now WAAAAY too sweet. It used to be something you used to hold the meat, now it's taken on. Starting role, and not in a good way. And I don't know what they've done with the meat. It's lost its flame-charred taste, and it's overpowered by the really sweet sauce (which may not have been changed but it stayed in the background in the past). Altogether the new Whopper has slipped way down my burger list - far down. If I wanted sweet I would have gone to Dairy Queen. I'll give it another shot at another restaurant to make sure this wasn't an outlier so look for an update in the near future.

Maryland crab cakes are my favorite meal. I never miss a chance to indulge when I travel through…read moreMaryland. I was excited to see great reviews for JB Seafood, located only a mile off US70. The shop is in a charming small historic building. We found parking behind the building. There was a steady stream of people going into the market. They sell fresh seafood to go and a selection of dine-in options. Many of the seafood prices are listed as Market Price. The crab sandwich was $23 with tax and there is an up-charge for use of credit card. The crabcake is thick with lump crabmeat. My sandwich was perfectly seasoned and prepared in authentic Maryland style. The bun with lettuce and tomato fresh were and tasty, too. The sandwich was perfection. The service was efficient. The clerk didn't waste time with pleasantries. The food takes awhile to prepare. I waited about 15 minutes after I ordered as they fresh bake the crab cakes. A tip jar sits by the cash register. The place is cute inside decorated in a harbor/seafood theme. There are 5 tables inside and 2 counters that seat 4 people each. It's the kind of place that you'd meet a friend for lunch and a beer and hang out. There are a couple of Adirondack chairs out front. A tv monitor was playing basketball reruns. The crab cakes can be purchased unbaked to go (along with a host of other seafood). There is a small full bar and coke products. They also serve ice cream, which is what many of the families were stopping for on this hot summer day. I will make JB's a regular stop on my way through Maryland. Well worth a visit.

If the server saw someone was done with their plate, they cleared. Whether it was their table or not. Checked on us, but not intrusive. Sports on TVs, good 80's music playing, but not so loud you couldn't ralk. Ambiance - love the exposed ceiling and brick. Everything is down to earth and not pretentious.

You order inside at the counter and then they call your name on the loud speaker when it's ready for pickup at the drive thru or the counter (depending on whether you ordered it to go or not). I had a cheeseburger with tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and mayo, and a side of fries. The burger was classic and totally delicious. The fries were very good, too. I ate my lunch at one of the picnic tables on the property, which was comfortable and fun (but they don't have bathrooms FYI). The service was friendly, and the place has tons of retro charm. I'd definitely go back for another meal - maybe a milkshake or other dessert with my burger next time? A fun, fast, casual meal. A charmer in Frederick, just off 70.

We told them we were okay with that since we were relaxing...and they weren't lying. Some of the worst table service and food speed I've experienced. We ordered some apple jalapeño Cole slaw and sweet potato rounds for appetizers...they brought out the Cole slaw with my meal and then we told them to skip the rounds but they brought them anyway. It was 50 minutes from the time we placed our order until we got any food. Only 20 minutes to get seated and there were a ton of open tables...they are quite obviously understaffed out front and in the kitchen. Oh...and the potato rounds were just warm, not hot...so they'd been sitting awhile. I got the pork belly BLT and it was pretty good. The pork belly was tender and full of flavor. Big sandwich bun and avocado as one of the toppings. I'd get it again. The girlfriend got the smoked pork nachos since it was one of the gluten-free options. She would have given it 5 stars if it was hot. By the time it was given to us all the cheese had hardened, it wasn't even warm. We did bring this up with the server and she pretty much told us if we sent it back that it might be another hour before we got a replacement. With that being said we didn't want to order dessert. When she brought the check everything was discounted 50% so I think they acknowledged their error of bringing us cold food an hour after ordering. It would have been about $46 for the meal but we got it for $23 and even at that price it was too much for what we got. I'm sure they might have just had a bad day. I would give them another chance and update my review if I was ever in the area. The food had potential and was great tasting...the execution wasn't poor which is a reflection of mismanagement. We really liked the vibe here and all the eclectic items and unique tables. The "thrift store" part of the restaurant is worth walking through as is the downstairs outside area...but after doing it once you won't need to do it again and it takes less than five minutes. Perfect for checking out while waiting on your order.

The kids that were working there seemed like they enjoyed their jobs. I also liked that the restrooms were spotless. On the negative side was that the place was cramped and dingy. And, there were also some foul, food-related, smells on the way the the spotless restroom. And, on the "meh" side was the milkshake itself. I ordered a strawberry shake. What I got was some vanilla custard(-like stuff) with some strawberry syrup and a bit of jam stirred in.
