    Wings
    Victoria V.

    This was our first time visiting the actual location and it was super cute! There's bar seating inside and a few tables outside, which is nice. They have a huge selection of beers, but you do have to scan a QR code to see that menu--food menus are available physically though. The servers were really friendly and attentive. We each got a sandwich and shared an order of wings. I personally would've preferred the wings to come out first before the sandwiches, but everything still tasted great. Overall, everything was really good and we'll definitely be back!

    Parmesan Truffle Fries

    Kiddo and I went to The Garage yesterday for our monthly date and the food there did not disappoint. Service is great and attentive. Kiddo had the spicy buffalo chicken Caesar wrap and I had the Reuben. When they said Spicy it really means Spicy - we love it. Both are very good paired with their homemade chips. We like the casual vibe of the place. One minor tweak - the Parmesan truffle fries though tasty not all were very crunchy. Will have to come back with the hubs and have a.

    Pizza

    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!

    Our server was very friendly. Service was fast even with it being busy. Good atmosphere. The pizza crust was perfectly crisp and loved the green onions on the pizza. The pork was ok on pizza it kind of had a soy flavor. Would recommend trying this spot for sure.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

I ordered takeout, but I will say that I did not realize in advance that the place would be basically a pure takeout with only a single table (albeit one that was well-attended during my visit). I've been to several of the big players in Chicago. The pizza here smells right, the sauce has the tang you'd expect. The crust didn't quite hold up for me, making for a messy pizza and not the most impressive flavor. Ordering a spinach pizza was a good decision as the spinach was abundant. A salad was robust in size, though they did not have my first choice dressing. A tiramisu made a nice divergence on a later date. They made two mistakes with my order, giving me a garlic bread with cheese that I'd ordered without, and not giving me a side of sweet peppers that I'd ordered. These weren't huge enough to make we want to drive back there to get corrective action on. Overall, I got the deep dish pizza I came for, and if I really had a hankering I could see ending up here again, but there are certainly areas for improvement.

It's retro with exposed brick walls and large screen televisions. Our server was very sweet, personable and professional. (I'm so sorry, I forgot her name.) We shared appetizers, calamari, fried perfectly along with eggplant Parmesan. Both winners. For entrees, I had the meatball hero, stuffed with well seasoned and sauced balls of deliciousness. My wife had the gyro served in three pieces of pita (on a taco stand). Not only spiced well, but NOT the usual mess with tzatziki sauce and cut chopped tomatoes spilling everywhere. Our friend had the salmon and he was impressed. For dessert it was gelato for two and I had the affogato. Sinful, the whipped cream seemed to have a little more sugar than normal, but it made the dessert that much more decadent. If you live in Frederick or are just passing through...recommended.

Oddest part was while we sat there - there was a 2 top table free almost the whole time we were eating. So - we could have easily been waited on in a normal setting. Nice place overall - different areas to sit, outside dining, etc etc. Service however was atrocious. It may be the fact they don't have enough people in the wait staff, but our waitress was as absent as it gets. Asked for a refill, took forever - after ordering appetizer it would have been good to then put in our entree order - but wasn't until the pizza came out 25 min later that we could do that. Asked for bread, she remembered after our entrees came out 45min after ordered - 4 small cubes. You would think when you're struggling at waiting on a table, you'd try and make up for it. Pizza was good. We got a Margherita pizza - standard and fresh as we watched them make it. For my entree I got the penne vodka and added a meatball. Lol. No sauce on that meatball and it was cold. Flavor was good on entree. The next time the waitress came back I begged for the check - to which we paid and got out of there as "quick" as we could. Food 4/5 Service 1/5
