Cool looking spot. Reminds of a Cracker Barrel. The menu is extensive and what I ordered was very…read moregood. Crab/chicken wrap with FF. It was excellent. So was the cheesesteak egg roll. My food did come out 15 minutes later than my pal. Was kinda weird. My only complaint is their service process. You have to go up and order at the bar your food and drink. Yep! Spent $50. By myself and I had to stand in line if I wanted another drink/water or if I needed anything that wasn't on the table. Asking questions about the menu you have stand in line. Ridiculous process. They lose 2 stars for that alone. A restaurant/bar is about the food/drink and service. They only have half of that right. I hope they change this. I've been in the service industry most of my life and it's one of two things. 1. Servers/bartenders cannot handle doing both tasks. Or. 2. They're lazy and rather make you wait.

Casual dining, decent sandwich and appetizer selections. Saturday night had a DJ, and the crowd switched from older adults at 6 to younger adults as the evening went on. Large dining area, with large and small tables, seat yourself. Price was reasonable, under $50 with beer and meal for two. Full bar. Large parking if you include the market lot, which is plenty. Side entrance in addition to to front door, and some patio seating, although it was snowing on Sunday.

We stopped at the Upper Deck on our way back from watching the Military Bowl in Annapolis…read more The place is what we were looking forward. Faster service at a sit down place where we could watch some of the other bowl games. There are plenty of TVs and we watched the pop tart bowl, Pinstripe bowl, and the Fenway Bowl. The service was really good. We had two servers (who also tended the bar) and checked on us regularly. My son had old bay, boneless wings. He really enjoyed them. I had the Chesapeake Flatbread. It was fantastic and I would highly recommend it.

I'm staying at the Hampton In & was yelping to look for a place to eat. I asked the front desk…read moreabout a restaurant near the hotel- but she & the General Manager asked if I had eaten at The Beacon? They raved about the menu and asked if I would try it & report back to them, good or bad. I ordered the appetizer Cesar salad which was fantastic! As you can see pictures the lettuce was crisp & green with the appropriate amount of dressing- you can add a protein- I chose not to as this was an appetizer. I also ordered the pulled pork sliders. The meat was cooked to perfection, the slaw was delicious on the slider, and the bun was fantastic- this was THE best pulled pork slider I've had. I can recommend The Beacon is a place I will revisit when I am back in this area.

What we got: Chicken Gyro - 3.5* good flavour, I would've liked smaller chunks of chicken. Green Beans (side) - 3* wasn't that impressed with the taste but adding salt was a game changer.

Pulled Pork & Fries (only available on Thursdays) - 3* a bit on the dried side but the sauce flavour was good. The fries were definitely a hit!

It is the real deal for a Baltimore neighborhood pre-game watering hole. Local specialty food is cooked and served in the back alley. The staff is extraordinarily friendly and proud of what they deliver: atmosphere and great local she-crab soup and generous warm sandwiches. You'll know you are in a firehouse where loyal professionals served the neighborhood long before any stadium was built or the waterfront was rebuilt. Tables are family style seating (friendly patrons will sit down with you and make you feel welcome) and the bathroom is kept clean. Oh, and it is a not-for-profit benefiting the widows and children of firefighters.

We got there ariund 4pm on a Saturday. It was 4th of July, but we were able to find street parking. And because it was a holiday, we didn't have to pay for parking! When we walked in, the bar was prettyfull, but there were plenty of high tops by the bar that were open. They have 3 TVs set up in the bar area, playing the soccer games. We got there at the perfect time. Our server came and took our drink orders. I went with a classic guava margarita, which I really enjoyed. We ordered tacos, carne and birria and the mixed pupusas. Everything was really good with great flavor. I was very impressed. We stayed for most of the game, and it got pretty busy. They also have a dining area in the back, which also has tvs set up. I would definitely come back and try other options on the menu. This will be a go to in Frederick for sure! Great place for food, drinks, and to watch the games.

Menu was typical American fare (burgers, wings, salads). The drink menu wasn't printed but they had a good choice of beers and wines. I opted for the pesto mozzarella panini. It came with fries.
