Yummy pizza!

Fantastic customer service! The server was busy so the bartender and another staff stepped in to assist. I asked them to recommend their most ordered pizza and went with his recommendation (meat pizza) The crust is so light and yummy! Will come and visit again, most definitely.

Pizza
mark s.

Wow! I've complained for years that our local town just doesn't get it on pizza. We have some great crusts but the typical top shelf pizza place skimps on ingredients- even on a pizza designed to be loaded up. Trading 65,000 miles around the country in the last 4 years I've had what is considered the best pizza in a number of towns and states. I had given up on Frederick until we had this gem. Amazing crust cooked just the right amount of time and as you can tell there was no skimping here. Also not just thrown together but they took some time. Frederick pizza has been redeemed!

tater tots

Ambiance The Garage in Frederick, Maryland, is exactly what it sounds like, a real garage turned into a casual hangout. Plenty of beer on tap, a steady weekend crowd, and a busy energy on a fall Saturday afternoon. There is some indoor seating, although it was packed when I came in. The vibe feels lively and relaxed. Some outdoor seating with a lamp if the weather is in the 60s. Food: I only tried the loaded tater tots $8 and a single truffle fry, and the tots were excellent. They were crispy and topped with more care than the usual bar version (not just random shredded cheddar cheese and too much sour cream). Tzatziki sauce, slightly pickled red onions, green onions, a kind of mozz or harder cheese, and the option to add Tabasco all worked well together. The bacon stood out with a slight sweetness that balanced the salty topping. The portion was generous for the price and felt like a real value. Overall A fun and busy spot with great value. I would return without hesitation, especially for those loaded tots.

The Garage Hawaiian

It was a little odd walking into the establishment as we were literally walking into a converted garage. However, the place was well set up looked great and had a fun ambience to it so we sat down to look at the menu after selecting a few of us chose some sandwiches and some pizza and fries and ice water and iced tea and soda. We ordered a Pastrami Reuben which was incredible in its amount of meat. Huge sandwich that was served with homemade potato chips . We also ordered a smash burger which was equally large and also quite delicious. The show stopper was the 18" Garage Hawaiian! A most outstanding pizza with the right bite, perfect char on the crust, thin and topped with Asian pulled pork, pineapple, honey sriracha glaze and scallions. It was absolutely heavenly and large enough that we only ate 1/2 and took the other 1/2 of the pizza home for another meal. The food topped off with the excellent service really made this a wonderful dining event for our family after coming back from Baltimore, Inner Harbor German Christmas village. Not easy to locate without a GPS as we thought we going in the wrong direction a time or two. Well worth the stop!

The Garage Hawaiian Pizza

Well.. we're not big fans! For some reason, the GPS took us to the Airport Inn instead of the Garage. We were able to ask someone for directions. It definitely looked like an old garage on the outside and the inside. The place was very full and lively! We ordered a cheese pizza and The Garage Hawaiian pizza. We have to say that we didn't like either. There didn't appear to be any sauce on the cheese pizza or not enough. The Garage Hawaiian pizza was very dry. The meat was dry and the pizza itself. I heard this place has good sandwiches, so maybe we'll try those next time but we weren't a fan of the pizzas.

Another amazing time at The Garage! This place really delivers on good quality food and I can't wait to visit next time I'm in town!!!

The BBQ smash burger

If you haven't been to The Garage yet, go ahead and fix that. I walked in at 11:30am on a Friday and 8 out of 9 tables were already taken--that alone tells you something. The atmosphere is great, the energy is good, and the service is on point. Dion was my bartender/server and couldn't have been better: personable, attentive, and quick with recommendations. He pointed me toward the steak & cheese or the smash burger, and honestly, so I ordered both. And he didn't miss. I didn't try the pizza this time, but I saw a couple go out--14" and 18"--and they looked legit. Same with the wings. Heavy, meaty-looking wings that made me instantly regret not ordering them. Now... the burger. WHAT?! This thing is next level. Forget that family of five dudes who somehow became the benchmark--this burger is above and beyond. I've never had a smash burger with edges this crispy. It's wild. Absolutely amazing. The house-made chips were solid too. Not burnt, good crunch. They could use a touch more seasoning--just a little salt would take them from good to great--but I still enjoyed them. The steak & cheese was very good and definitely not your typical ribeye cheesesteak. They use short rib, so it hits a little differently. It's not overstuffed like the trendy spots that are popping up everywhere, but the flavor is there. And the bread? That's what sets it apart. Not house-made, but sourced from a guy right in the same complex. Crunchy shell, soft inside--perfect. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this place. The food is priced right, the portions are fair, and the quality is absolutely there. The service is friendly and attentive without any ego, even though they clearly stay busy. When a restaurant has a wait for tables before lunch, they're doing something right--and The Garage definitely is.

Bbq smash burger with tots
Yierou M.

Stopped here for dinner on our way to Hershey Park...gps took us into an industrial park, it was actually in the industrial park to the left, and actually in a garage! It was a pretty spot but the wait wasn't too long. Our server was super nice and she literally memorized our orders...very impressive! She did warn us ahead of time that pizzas were taking longer since several huge to go orders were just placed. My son asked for loaded fries instead of tots as the app...they were super tasty with the combo of flavors from the feta bacon and tzatziki sauce! My pastrami Reuben was perfect. The rye toasted and not soggy, pastrami was fresh and good balance of sauerkraut and dressing! I requested the salt and vinegar fries which was pretty good too...my son ate most of them! The smash burgers were nicely seasoned! My husband asked for Cajun fries and there were none left! The bbq smash burger was just as good and came with tots! There was no food left behind! We decided to take the capicola pizza to go and my son devoured it in the car! Would definitely recommend!

Nice pizza bar near the airport and a gym! Love it

Always a great time in here. Wish they have more beers on tap tho. All their array is canned. And please, put a sign of your specials in the back as well or on your menu

drinks are served in a mason jars
LeAndra M.

we absolutely love the garage! The food is always great and the service is as well. It's nice to have local spot that's cozy and offers good food in atmosphere. The only thing I will say is because the garage is so popular that adding another bay wouldn't be a bad idea would give more room for tables and more in-house dining. Like many restaurants here in Frederick this restaurant is becoming very popular amongst locals and we even have people coming in town just to try it.. great food great price great people. The only reason I couldn't get five stars is because of the space restriction, which makes it hard for larger parties..

Cheesesteak and fries
Elise S.

Very busy small shop, but we were able to sit at the bar. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, you can tell people love this place. Cheese steak was sooo good and the fries reminded me of boardwalk fries. The pizza was good but we felt that it could have been cooked more, came out slightly doughy. I imagine this would be a good place to hang out in the summer, garage door up with a beer. Not bad at all.

Unwrapped bbq smash
Glenna S.

We ended up here after trying (and failing) to find parking in downtown Frederick close to another establishment. My husband is disabled and we are big people so walking a few blocks is not possible right now. We had three kids visiting us. The menu looked very kid friendly and did not disappoint. We arrived and were instantly greeted at the door. The restaurant was busy at 2pm on a Saturday but not so much that we were ignored. We ordered the kid food first (grilled cheese, squish burger, and kid pepperoni pizza). Then we ordered a white pepperoni pizza and bbq smash for us. The prices were reasonable one you get past the $14 kid pizza. The food was all delicious. My biggest two complaints were that 1) the kid grilled cheese and burger came out after the pizzas (including the one we ordered 5-10 minutes after ordering kid food) and 2) the kid portion sizes were ridiculous. The grilled cheese was the largest grilled cheese I have ever seen (but it was amazing) and the kid pizza is a 14" pizza. So I'd say order kid food way before pizzas and make sure kids share if getting grilled cheese or kid pizza. Another thing I always comment on is the furniture. Because we are big people, we always are careful about where we go to make sure the furniture can support us. We had no problems with the furniture here (although I forgot to take pictures, others have). There is a roll up door to a patio area with detached picnic tables that I'm sure are amazing in fall or spring. We will definitely be back.

When you guys opened up, you were my favorite place for pizza!  Now you're getting lazy come on step up your game guys.

See all

Such a gem, this place! I've driven by this corner leaving downtown MANY times and we finally had a…read moremoment to grab a meal. At Tempo Di Pasta, the food and staff were just amazing. Their pasta is made in house and it's deliciously fresh. Perfectly cooked. The ambiance was just a cool vibe. Food Pictured: Ravioli di Funghi (wild mushroom ravioli, tomatoes, fontina sauce, parmigiano (v)) Arrabbiata with Campanelle pasta (shrimp, spicy Pomodoro sauce, scallions, lemon bread crumbs) Bucatini Nero with squid ink (bucatini, calamari, octopus, shrimp, pomodoro sauce, calabrian peperoncino)...I ate it ALL and I'm still full.

The ingredients are fresh, the service is friendly and gregarious, the food is delicious and exceptional. I have enjoyed several different dishes on multiple occasions now and can say without question that this food is exceptional and rare outside Italy. Everything in this space is authentic, from the relatively short menu to the service it is a treat to have such an excellent meal for what amounts to a very good price. No question, in Frederick this is consistently the best Italian food served with care and pleasure. I have not had a single issue with anything over perhaps 6 dining experiences here. It is an absolute pleasure to enjoy a lovey glass of wine with the outstanding pasta dishes! If Fredrick needs anything, it is more small and outstanding restaurants like this where quality and value are in harmony.
