It seemed like a truly local bar -- I loved the vibes and the packed bar. They had an excellent beer selection and a pretty decent burger. However, the star was really the shaved steak Bahn Mi. Great flavor combination, and excellently marinated. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but I suppose that is to be expected at dinner time when every single table in the place is taken :) I think this may be our new go to stop when visiting family!

Who knew Anchor was is in Frederick? We didn't. My wife, a Buffalonian born and raised and we've both been to the original Anchor Bar in Buffalo dozens of times so we had to check this location out. In the door we noticed the place was clean and had a very warm and cozy vibe but had a sports bar atmosphere with plenty on TV's to watch a sport of your choice. The staff was super friendly and the menu has all your favorites. Our server was Nicole who was actually amazing in every way, very sweet and attentive to whatever we wanted. We ordered a small pizza, The special which was ribs and a side, we chose Cole Slaw and of course wings (Original). The pizza was very good, had Cup n Char Pepperoni which is what I expect from a Buffalo bar/resteraunt. The only thing is it could have stayed on the brick another minute or so to crisp up the bottom more. The Ribs were dynamite, perfectly cooked with a slight char on the bottom. They were fall off the bone with an amazing smoke flavor. The Cole Slaw was awesomeness as its how we like it, sweet and creamy. Now, drum roll, the wings, cooked wonderfully to be juicy and saucy but...yes but, could have been a little crispier but, they were great. We live 50 minutes away and will travel to come back. Great job.

Our first visit an we were certainly satisfied. We ordered 10 medium wing and buffalo dip. My wife,…read morewho's not a big wing eater LOVED them. The best she's ever had. The medium sauce was perfect for her and good for me. I could have gone a little hotter. There a a number of levels and as we watched more orders we realized we could have mixed sauces. Next time. My wife loved the wings by the dip was even better. If Anchor Bar was closer to us we'd be regulars. The service was great and wait time seemed normal. We'll definitely make the drive again.

We ordered nachos and a pretzel for apps. Both were great! The nachos looked standard, but the cheese on them made it fantastic. The pretzel was also so good we had to order a second. Our actual food was also good. My Mediterranean bowl was just ok, but everyone else liked their meals. I would definitely go back. Prices were reasonable and just a cool place to hang out in downtown Frederick.

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.

On weekdays, they offer a free hour of pool until 5 PM with a $10 food purchase. After 5 PM and on weekends, the pool table is $10 an hour. They also have Pour House Trivia on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM and Saturdays at 7 PM. Thursday nights is for Poker. And they have a couple dart boards as well. They have their own AMI jukebox so you can play your own music using purchased credits on the app. Weekdays from 11 AM to 3 PM they have lunch specials, which includes $11 for a sandwich and side dish. While they always had a great variety of beers on tap, I noticed they also had a new cocktail menu, which included French 75 and even a Peach Fizz. I was quite happy to see Prosecco on the menu. Belles' has its own parking lot as well so parking is never an issue. They also offer the following Daily Specials: Sunday 30% off all Appetizers $3.25 Domestic Pints, $15 Domestic Buckets Monday $17 BBQ Rib Dinner Tuesday $13 AYCE Steamed Shrimp 5-9 PM Wednesday $17 BBQ Rib Dinner Thursday Buffalo Wing Special 4-10 PM $4 Flavored Vodkas Friday $17 BBQ Rib Dinner Saturday $3.25 Domestic Pints from 7 PM - 2 AM It does get busy at Belles' so service can be a bit slow.

With this many people packed in, giving everyone access to soap seems pretty important.

Representing 2019 as a runner-up for an original out of town pick, B is for BJ's. I visited BJ's…read moretwice before, once in Tysons Corner, VA in June 2014 (see my 4-star review written in May 2018) and this location on a nice very warm Saturday, March 30, 2019. I went to a Meetup group hike on the border of Washington & Frederick County, and I met up with a friend, who later became a girlfriend. She drove us from North Bethesda where I met her. This was a long hike, and we were all worn out. The organizer of the Meetup said let's go to BJ's in Frederick on the way back to Montgomery County (where his Meetup group was based). I was looking forward to getting the pizza I enjoyed at BJ's Tysons 5 years earlier. Service was decent as I recall, but the pizza was smaller than I remembered and didn't taste as good. It wasn't bad, but it was kind of small for the price; so overall I was kind of disappointed. It was also a bit dark inside the restaurant, which I like getting a nice view of my food. This Meetup group did a variety of activities but often walks & hikes. It was an introvert Meetup. I'm more of an ambivert meaning I'm sometimes extrovert but other times can be an introvert. My friend is a total extrovert and was loud & boisterous at lunch. I don't think the organizer of the Meetup took too kindly to her. Then, that friend became a girlfriend, and I took her to another of his Meetup for games in August 2019 for games in the park. Organizer seemed disappointed in me (even though I wasn't particularly close with him) when I introduced her as my girlfriend as he remembered her from hike & BJ's. It was kind of an ongoing joke with us how he didn't like her. Maybe one of these days, I'll go back to BJ's; there's a location close to me in Laurel, but I'd get something other than the pizza.
