Arrt T.

Recommend the 716 wrap. Pretty good, bar/college vibes with lots of screens great for gameday. Read your bill carefully as we had some issues with the market price not as advertised by our server so we had to correct it. Small thing but otherwise recommended.

Greggah lobster roll

The food was great. If your like me you may want to request no salt on your fries. They were thick cut crispy on the outside and fluffy on insider. The service was very professional (thank you Shiela!). The ambiance was friendly and fast moving as most tables were full. Great food, great service, great time! We will be coming back.

Carol was an excellent bartender--attentive, friendly, and very professional. She took great care of us, suggested a variety of drinks, and even let us taste them before choosing. Everything she recommended was delicious, especially the oyster Bloody Margarita shot. We had a truly wonderful experience with her! Highly recommended this place .

Love the atmosphere at Shuckin' Shack. They have the best servers,bartenders, as well as amazing food and drinks. I've never had a crush that comes close to theirs!!

I had the lobster roll which I believe was one of the more popular items on the menu. It was a bit pricey but decent. I would have rated this place a 4 but there was some inconsistencies with the pricing on the menu / said by the server vs. what we were charged so we ended up staying there longer than we wanted to. The vibe is very much sports bar so fine if you're info that.

This place is great if you're looking for good food and good drinks, their oysters are always fresh and local. The service is usually pretty good. If I had to make a suggestion/ complaint, my shrimp Po Boy had wayyyy too much shrimp on it, and it wasn't really a Po Boy in the traditional sense of one. But hey, what do I know, I'm just from Louisiana.

Sunday, while on Tony's Birthday Trip, We stoppedin Frederick, MD for lunch. We went down near the canal way to the Shuckn Shak Oyster Bar. I was very excited. I was trying to show him we can have good seafood and not be in Florida. We took a seat midway through the narrow restaurant. Tony ordered PBR in a can and I went with Unsweetened Tea With lemon & lime. I ordered a half dozen Baked Oysters with Jalapeño & Cheese. It said Char-Broiled but it tasted more baked. They were very good! Tony ordered a Steak Burger Medium Rare with Tomato Lettuce & Onion, topped with cheese & a Garlic Sauce with fries & Cole Slaw. I went with the LOW Country Boil with Jumbo Shrimp, Potatoes, Corn on the Cob & Sausage slices in Old Bay Seasoning with side of Cole Slaw. No room for dessert! Highly recommend and will definitely go back if we are ever playing around that area again!!!

This place was so good we went TWICE in one day. When I say so good I don't mean it's the best I've ever had, I just love a place with oysters, crab legs, beer, and bar food all in one place. I live in Philly so we don't get to do this often. Prices were great and service was decent for a bust st paddy's weekend.

Ok. Don't get this wrong it's a dive bar. But in the best way. Great service. Good food and great value. I had fun. There is way more science to oyster than you think. Opening them correctly so no grit is there is not easy. I will definitely be back.

We had been wanting to try Wye Oak Tavern for a while now, so last month we finally had the chance…read more Overall our experience was very good. - especially for the area. Since the closing of Volt, and even The Ordinary Hen (Both being Voltaggio restaurants like this one), Frederick has been in desperate need of a upper-market restaurant. So, Enter... Wye Oak Tavern. You can't beat the interior decor and ambiance. I mean, you just can't. It's elegant, modern, and each section of the restaurant offers a different atmosphere for your choosing - darker and gothic, or, in the back, brighter and more modern. The service was fantastic, as you would expect. Everyone was so friendly and attentive, and they didn't make any fuss when I asked to change tables. The food overall was very good. - Beef Fat Fries: Very very good - The Steak Tartare was also good. I think it needed a bit more flavor - maybe more mustard or capers. - Caesar's Salad was so good, and those sesame churros were fantastic. - Oysters were good. - Ribeye steak was good. For what you're paying I expected something closer to a steakhouse quality cut and cook, but it was still good. And I liked the Yorkshire pudding. - Gnocchi, Asparagus, and Creamed Spinach were all good. - Rockfish was smaller than I thought it would be, but also good - The Prime Rib was also very good. I think it could have been helped by a little more flavorful au jus on the side. We really appreciated the Laguiole steak knives they gave us. They're not like those terrible dull bulky knives you get from even high-end steak houses. Overall a very pleasant dinner. Not sure it's worth the price tag, but there aren't a lot of options nearby for nicer restaurants - besides the Tasting Room.

This can be fancy or casual, choose your own adventure... it is huge inside!…read more I opted for the outside area, warm sunny day and i didn't want to be inside. Very old school dark banquet hall type. Not for me today. The hostess got me to my table, it wasn't cleaned so she cleaned it off and explained they could offer both lunch and some dinner options. The server came over immediately and stayed connected. Even when i didn't notice a gnat in my beer, he did and quickly got me another. The little muffins were delicious! I ate both immediately. Then came the fried oysters. They were OK. Better than most, however not the best. A little harder fry would be nice and better cleaning, a few bits of sand wasn't expected. Caesar salad good. I came for the crab cakes and they were delicious! Truly meaty like they said, very little filler. Twice baked potato met expectations. The bread pudding.... WOW!! They should tell people it will feed the table. The sauce is perfect, or just slice it and toast with bread. I was full from dinner so note my warm up recommendation. I'd come back for sure. Expensive for solid quality

The building is beautifully decorated and the atmosphere appealing. I ordered stuffed mushrooms and a cup of crab soup as an appetizer and they were both delicious. For the main course, I ordered Filet Oscar. Once again, the crab stuffing was excellent. However, the filet (9oz) was so salty, I couldn't finish it. That said, the food is so overpriced that I would not recommend it. I had heard such wonderful things about it, but "wonderful" was not my experience.

It's a nice, comfortable seating area in front of the restaurant. Good for people watching. When we were seated, the server brought over a large bottle with ice cold water and two glasses. We ordered the Soup Flight (a trio of soups), Chickpea Feta Salad and Bangkok Shrimp Salad. The soups arrived first (as we'd hoped - as an appetizer). They were an Italian vegetable (I forget the name they use for it), tomato bisque and Hot and Sour. The trio came with three small pieces of fresh bread. The soups each were delicious. My partner and I favored the tomato and the hot and sour over the vegetable soup, only because the flavors of the bisque and hot and sour seemed more complex and interesting. Excellent soups. I highly recommend. And we shared them and there was enough for both of us to enjoy all three. My chickpea feta salad (I got it without feta) was very good. Lots of fresh ingredients and a large portion of avocado. I really liked the dressing that came with the salad on the side. The Bangkok shrimp salad came with 9 nice-sized shrimp, each with a light fried coating and an excellent sauce. The salad was fresh and the dressing (tomato-based) was flavorful and interesting. My partner doesn't usually eat dressings, but remarked that this was a good one. The server came by a couple of times to check on us and replaced the water bottle when it was empty. Delicious meal, nice atmosphere, good service.

I was happy to see a variety of vegan offerings on the menu that were clearly labeled vegan or a note that it could be made vegan. Our server was very friendly. I liked that she was present yet did not check on us too much so my friend and I could talk freely and catch up. I was surprised that when I ordered coffee there was no nondairy milk option. For such a vegan friendly business I recommend adding some nondairy milk for the brunch crowd. I was in a soup mood and wanted to get the soup flight. Unfortunately only two of the three soups were vegan so I just chose one soup and ordered it with a side of bread. The soup was deliciously creamy and I loved the softness of the bread. It was a perfect light meal for me as I wanted to save room for dessert. On the menu there was a flourless vegan chocolate cake I was excited to try. When it came the portion size was HUGE. It was definitely big enough to share with my friend. I did find it a little too sweet for my liking. It is not something I would order again but I am glad I got to try it. Overall I had a positive experience at The Orchard. The food I tried was good but not something I would go out of my way to have again. I appreciate how vegan friendly it is and hope they add nondairy milk to their options for coffee.
