    The Garage
    Marce D.

    Had been hearing a lot about this place, so I decided to finally give it a try. The pizza is good -- no complaints there -- but I do think there are other spots in the area I'd personally choose first. Still, I'm glad I tried it. One thing that stood out right away was the size. I ordered a large for pickup and the box alone caught me off guard -- it's huge. The slices are massive, definitely bigger than your typical pizza, so you get a lot for what you pay for. I also ordered the Old Bay wings. They were flavorful and solid, nothing over the top but definitely good. Overall, a good experience. While I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way for it, it's a solid option to keep in rotation.

    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!

    I stopped here for lunch on a Sunday when driving through the area and I'm so glad I did! I snagged a seat at the bar, luckily, because the tables both inside and outside were full. The bartender was prompt and friendly. He took my order within a few minutes and the food was out within 10-15. I had the crispy chicken cob salad. The chicken was two large, crunchy pieces. They were juicy and flavorful. The rest of the ingredients in the salad were fresh, including the slices of avocado. The white balsamic dressing was tart and refreshing. They have TVs around the bar that were playing spots when I was there. The counter is wide enough to comfortably enjoy your meal and not bump into anyone on either side of you. Parking is plentiful and spacious. Definitely worth a stop in!

    This place is back in a business park near the airport. We went on a rainy day so no outside seating but it had picnic tables and a garage door to the inside. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a couple of beers and a 14" sausage and mushrooms pizza. The pizza was great. I can see why it gets high marks. We will definitely be back for another pie. Service was ok. It was busy. I tend to like bartender's that interact more, that's just me.

    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.

    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
    Luke C.

    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.

    Reuben no bun, soggy fries

    This was our 2nd time here & we shared an excellent BBQ smash burger. This was the 2nd time our fries came out cold and old (taste of old grease). This time we sent the fries back & got hot crispy ones. We will get the burger again but will have chips the next time.

    The Garage Hawaiian
    Scott A.

    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.

    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.

    Old Bay Wings
    Andrew A.

    The Garage is a true hidden gem! Electric atmosphere, ice-cold drinks, and food that hits the spot--wings are a must and the loaded tots are mouthwatering. The servers and owner go above & beyond, making you feel right at home--something you don't find at many places. Didn't try the pizza but saw plenty flying out of the kitchen and they looked amazing. Whether you're local or just visiting, run--don't walk--to The Garage!

    Excellent authentic Chicago Italian Beef sandwiches and deep-dish pizza!…read more We skipped eating before driving west from Baltimore to Frederick (Jun 2026) for the sole purpose of getting authentic Chicago Italian Beef sandwiches from Rosati's! It's a dense crispy Italian roll filled with tender long-simmered traditionally-seasoned lightly spicy thin-sliced lean beef. Never microwaved, because that would have a tragic impact on the texture of the beef. It's served with your choice of softly sautéed sweet green peppers, or giardiniera spicy pickled vegetables mix. We went with the sweet peppers which really complemented the savory flavors of the beef. And the sandwich has anywhere from a splash of savory au-jus to a full-soak. We got the juice on the side for dipping bite by bite. Rosati's kindly gave us two little cups, enough to make the sandwich fully "wet". We have it that way when we can handle a super-messy sandwich, but today, dipping was the wise move. They have great authentic Chicago-style deep-dish and "tavern-style" thin crust pizza here too. Today our heart was set on the Italian beef! This Rosati's is takeout, along the west side of a strip-mall just off the highway. It's easy to find, with plenty of parking. The owner has been there every time we've gone, which is a sure way to uphold quality, and they do!

    Their online ordering system gave me quite a bit of trouble, to the point where I considered going…read moreelsewhere. Switching browsers is what ultimately made it work. 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.

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

I had driven two hours and was hungry, but I was also committed to making good decisions. Or at least mostly good decisions... The hostess offered me a seat at the second-floor bar rather than the quoted 25-30 minute wait. Great! Solo diners love surprise upgrades. Unfortunately, when I got upstairs, the one "available" seat had apparently been claimed by a diaper bag and a giant straw sunhat belonging to the woman sitting next to it holding a too-little-to-walk baby sitting at the bar. Uhhh...this isn't going to work. Back downstairs I went. I gave them my name and number, found a shady spot outside, and settled in for what I assumed would be a long wait. Five minutes later, my table was ready. Thank you, Universe! My server greeted me with water immediately, explained the QR code menu situation, and told me not to order through the app because she'd be right back. No worries, friend. I'd already done my homework. I knew exactly what I wanted. One Martha Stewart's Prison Pizza ($22), please. (Sausage, broccoli, ricotta, Calabrian chili peppers, lemon oil, and sea salt.) I asked for the chili peppers on the side because I know myself. I like adventure. I don't enjoy possibly setting my mouth on fire. And a Diet Pepsi ($3.50), because balance. While I waited, I people-watched, which is one of my favorite hobbies. White Rabbit was PACKED. The patio was full. The downstairs bar was full. Upstairs was full. Couples, groups of girlfriends, older folks, younger folks, families, solo diners...everyone seemed happy to be there. The place itself is pretty small, which explains the wait. Six tables downstairs, maybe eight bar seats, more seating upstairs, and a constant dance of servers carrying food through the same front door customers use. Add the "please wait to be seated" crowd gathering in the narrow hallway and I'd describe things as organized chaos. But once I was seated, I was perfectly comfortable and out of the traffic pattern. One cool touch I noticed: outlets and USB ports built right into the front of the bar. Maybe that's common and I've somehow missed it all these years, but I thought it was pretty neat. Then my pizza arrived. Oh good lawd. OH. GOOD. LAWD. This pizza was SO GOOD! I knew from the first bite that I was in trouble. There was no sauce, which surprised me at first, but after approximately three seconds I no longer cared. The sausage was plentiful. The broccoli added texture. The ricotta was creamy and rich. And that lemon oil?! That lemon oil set it off! Everything just worked together perfectly. The Calabrian peppers arrived on the side exactly as requested. I bravely sampled a very small amount on my fork before desecrating my pizza and quickly determined that folks with stronger heat tolerance than me will absolutely love them. They were just a little too spicy for my delicate tastebuds. Thankfully, the pizza was incredible without them. And those slices? MONSTERS. I ate one and seriously contemplated a second before reminding myself that I had dessert plans elsewhere. A box was requested. Self-control was exercised. Barely. As a solo diner, I also want to give White Rabbit extra points. Multiple staff members checked on me throughout the meal. I never felt forgotten, rushed, or weird sitting by myself. Everyone was warm, kind, and made me feel completely comfortable. I really appreciated that. My total bill came to $32.44 including tip which felt really reasonable given the amount of pizza I consumed and brought home. Worth every penny. I'm already scheming my next two-hour drive back. Maybe a smashburger. Maybe those Brussels sprouts everyone keeps raving about. Maybe another pizza. Maybe all of it! I highly recommend checking out White Rabbit. Make it a destination, not just a stop while you're in the area. Don't let the size of the place or the wait scare you off. It's totally worth it. PRO TIP: If you park in the Church Street Parking Garage, look for the staircase labeled "STAIR 3." White Rabbit is literally right outside the door at the bottom. No hide-and-seek required!

After ordering a personal pizza and chatting with a few of the locals that were in the bar area, our conversation ran the gamut of the World Cup, local movies and the current events in Iraq. The bar was pretty empty, maybe 6 people tops who didn't seem to have any issue with our conversational topics. However, the bartender with long auburn hair, seemed upset and then said it was her bar and we couldn't talk politics. I and the regular local were shocked and bewildered at that statement. I closed my tab and decided to talk to the manager (Addy) on the way out. She reiterated that the bar was hers and she could set whatever rules she wanted. What a far cry from the days when I used to bartend. Our only concern was monitoring people's drinks to keep them safe and having the owners walk people out in the event they were ready to brawl. This is a service business. Your personal opinions are not an excuse to treat your clientele in that manner. I wonder if the owner's are aware of this. The manager said they were. I like the pizza, and I have met some lovely servers there, however, I will not be returning and will encourage my Frederick friends to pass on this establishment. After all, there are other establishments within Frederick that have great pizza and do not bully their clients.
