Don't let this unassuming facade fool you - this place is great! We were in town for an event and saw how well rated this place was and gave it a shot. So glad we did. Service was great and the food! We tried their crab dip, shaved steak bahn mi, and the Roasters Burger. All amazing. Great beer selection too. Will definitely come back if we're ever around here again. read more

Stopped to grab something to eat while heading to PA. Not too far off the highway and the perfect midway stop for our trip. 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! read more

Best Jalapeño burger ever!!!!! Great atmosphere and the staff are amazing!!!! Fantastic mix of brews!!!

I can't wait to come back. I work remote out of Frederick and realize that every time I come into town, I am eating here. The bangers and mash was so delicious. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. Could've used a little more bangers though. I thought it was a little skimpy. I guess I'll have to get an appetizer with it. They have to be expertly trained as it shows in their dishes. We were there on a very cold day in January and it was cold inside. Maybe their heat was out but be prepared with a dinner hoodie. Service was pretty good, she could've smiled more. But ai was there for the flavor and they delivered that. I will be going to the office soon and this place is what I am looking forward to the most... Eating at The Roasthouse Pub. I'll update the indoor weather soon. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch during a day of errands. We got the Roastie Burger and the turkey pastrami sandwich. The Roastie was messy but tasty. A little overcooked for the medium rare I requested. My wife's sandwich was very good. A little too much slaw, made it hard to eat. Just have to scrape it off. The sides are good. They must not have a fryer. No fries or chips. Service was quick and attentive. Nice little Pub. Good size bar, booths up against the outer walls. Tables in the middle. Didn't have a beer but the selection was nice. read more

Service was a bit all over today (a little forgetful), but extremely friendly. Overall, the food was good, the drinks were better. We had the Jerk tacos and some chili - both flavorful. It's small inside - maybe 15 tables and very casual. We tried the Cherry Vanilla cider and some drinks from the bar - we would order all again. We would give this place another go. read more

I was in Frederick for a Submarine Reunion and really wanted some crab cakes. Well, I hit the jackpot with this place! It was one of the best crabcakes I've ever eaten! There was hardly any filler, and it was literally cooked to perfection! They have a full bar and a very good craft beer selection. The place is somewhat small, but that makes it very cozy. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. This place is fantastic and a must visit when you're in Frederick! Cheers! read more

Had the Roastie Burger cooked mid rare, which came out absolutely perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better burger, friends. But then, then my stomach said, "Order dessert, old timer" and let me tell you what. I ordered the bread pudding, and it took everything in me for my soul to not drift away into the great beyond. I would go back for that alone. Go here immediately, then go back until you have satiated your desire for amazing food. read more

It took a few years, but I made it back! I read my previous review and ordered the same roasthouse pub burger (not disappointed). This time, I bypassed the brussel sprout and ordered the side salad with the house chili thai dressing. It was delicious, but if you don't like spicy change out the dressing. Remember the rotating taps? Well, my favorite beer rotated on out of there. They offer 2oz, 5oz, and 16oz pours, so we settled on a few 5oz pours. If you don't like committing to a single beer, this is for you! We also had the chicken wings with old bay (very good) swapping out carrots for celery. The celery was so fresh and crisp! Note: Despite listing outdoor seating on Yelp, there isn't any outdoor seating here, and the ac works great (note to self: bring a sweater). read more

It's hard to find a place where the owner/menu creator makes His culinary training or love of food known through every dish presented. Each dish presented complexity of texture, flavor and balance. The Roasthouse Burger is the pinnacle of this delicious complexity. 1/2 lb. local Angus patty, Maple Bourbon Bacon Jam, house-cured Jalapeno Bacon, Buffalo Mozzarella, house sweet pickled jalapenos and the toasted Bavarian Pretzel bun offers the perfect chewiness and the burger meat has the perfect fat to meat ratio - high quality and perfectly cooked. The other dish that you definitely should try is the Ham Brisket Sandwich... it is a 1/2 lb glazed Applewood smoked Ham Brisket with white cheddar, jalapeno bacon on a Bavarian pretzel bun. Warning: they don't have fries or onion rings. But offer a side salad with an amazingly spicy Asian teriyaki house dressing that I wish was being sold by the bottle. They also cook red potatoes in bacon fat or mashed potatoes. For beer lovers... they definitely have an amazing assortment of beers that will meet all serious beer aficionados. I can't recommend this place high enough. If you are in the area... come check it out! read more

The food was a bit pricey but it was good as HELL. It's a cozy lil place off a dusty lil road wit limited parkin but it's nice to pass through for a beer or two cos the beer prices are TUFF. They got two lil tvs at the bar but they'll put on whatever sports you need. Def goin back. It's a cute lil weekday date night spot. read more

Randomly came here by using the yelp feature that says surprise me! I was pleasantly surprised because I had been wanting to come here for a while but never timed it out right! Today I came and Luke was the bartender and server. He made me a tasty whiskey sour and henny margarita. He also recommended the ham brisket sandwich was flavorful and delicious! They also had the door open and so the fresh air was nice on a 70 degree fall day in Frederick! Ally was equally amazing and I could tell customers liked both of them! Come here and you won't be disappointed!!! read more

We visit here about once a year. Always good and great tap list. Service is good. Food is fresh and tasty.

We had an awesome experience at The Roasthouse Pub last night. We attended the private beer and dinner event by guest host Duclaw Brewery Co. The four course meal with delicious and the service was excellent. I definitely recommend trying out Roasthouse Pub if you like a good beer, and since it's local, it has a friendly and welcoming environment. The first course was the watermelon salad with feta. The watermelon was fresh and sweet, which complimented well with the blueberry vinaigrette dressing and feta. Such a refreshing start to our dining experience. Then second course was the catfish and corn chowder, which was a creamy and savory flavor. It was excellent. Then the main course was the pulled pork cakes with cheesy grits and asparagus. This was paired with Duclaw's hazy IPA "West Coast Style," which is a very dank IPA. Last and definitely my favorite, fourth and final course, was dessert. It was a chocolate filled churro with praline ice cream paired with an Irish cream dessert stout. Wow amazingly yummy! The service was amazing and I loved how the head chef explained each course in detail. A lot of thought and creativity went into each dish with each beer pairing and you could taste it with each course. Definitely recommend trying Roasthouse Pub for an awesome dining experience. read more

Yelp has not let us down! This small but quaint spot has great food, great service, great beer choices, tv's. Great find.

Went to The Roasthouse Pub with the family for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. Not much to look at from the outside and the inside has a sports bar atmosphere. What impressed me was the quality of the food that was served. Definitely a notch or two above this type of joint. BANGERS AND MASH with a side of roasted sprouts was my choice, not a huge serving but delicious and satisfying. The sausage was good quality meat. My wife enjoyed a SALMON BLT and especially liked the side of garlic mashed potato's. My son had the CHERRY BUTTER & WASABI GLAZED BLACKENED SALMON. He devoured it with a respectable side salad. The kid's menu is a plus. My grandkids had the Mac & Cheese and the Burger. With twenty offerings of east coast craft brews on the beer list you are sure to find a suitable quaff . I had the Czech Mate by Thick-N-Thin brewed in Hagerstown. Very nice. Our server was a pleasant young lady who provided service with a smile (important to me). My only negative was the music was too loud making conversation a bit of a chore. They say if it's too loud you're too old, well I am. Overall, I would recommend this place to a friend and would certainly return the next time I'm in Frederick. read more

This place is deceiving from the street. It is DIRECTLY off of a busy road so be careful backing out. You think it's a hole-in-the-wall place, but when you walk in it is rather put together. Most importantly, the people are super friendly and the food is good! The menu is relatively diverse and, being that it is Frederick, they feature a lot of local beers. This is a big benefit of Frederick,: All the breweries and distilleries! This is actually one of my wife's favorite places in Frederick so go in and find your favorite thing! read more

Great food and beer menu. The house made hot sauces are also great. Service was also great.

My tastebuds were in heaven. Beautiful presentation, fresh flavors and great value for your money. Pulled up to the restaurant and only one car in the lot. Ok, it was an off-hour (not quite 5pm). Walked inside and there were several people at tables and the bar. The waitress was friendly and made suggestions. I quickly chose the Blackened Salmon Rice Bowl which was divine. Side of brussel sprouts with bacon was done perfectly. The next table ordered burgers however they were definitely not just a burger they were creations from a culinary artist. I can't wait to go back! read more

Cute place close to downtown Frederick . Food and service were great. The pasta carbonara with shrimp was perfect. It had large seasoned shrimp and a nice light sauce. Loved the garlic smashed potatoes in the side. The jerk chicken tacos were very good but not a very strong jerk flavor. We asked for some hot sauce and they make it in house. It was so good and just the right amount of hot/spiciness. I would buy that bottled if they sold it. The beer board was a little hard for me to read the smaller letters across the room but great variety. The bread pudding for dessert was so yummy too! read more

Randomly came here with some friends last week for lunch for the first time. It's off of a busy road and a little sketchy from the outside but wow - once you get inside you totally forget about it! Our server was amazing - I forget her name but she was wonderful. Super knowledgeable, attentive and fun. The beer list is extensive and the menu is fun and unique. My husband and my friend had margaritas and they were fabulous. Her husband had a beer which he enjoyed as well. Wings were fantastic and all of our entrees were fabulous! All in all - a wonderful place to have a drink and some lunch or dinner. Lesson learned - don't judge a book by its cover - this place is a gem! read more

Almost never give a review. But this restaurant is a must visit in the area. Extremely clean, super nice staff, and the food was AMAZING. It all came out looking delicious and we were not let down. Definitely coming back. read more

Came here after being ignored at a place up in Thurmont. Chose it for it's rating and beer, having never been before. Points right off the bat - I sat @ the bar, and the bartender acknowledge me within a minute or two of me sitting down. I ended up next to a couple who were regulars and helpful with the menu, not to mention nice lunch conversation. I had a pilsner from 1623 Brewing which was quite nice; good enough to have two. For food, I had the crab cake sandwich - since they're billed as a "gastropub", I eschewed my usual safe bets (club sandwich or some such) and went for it. As a Maryland boy my whole life, raised on hard shell crabs, I can recognize a decent crab cake - this one was definitely decent! Perhaps not the best I've ever had, but definitely good, without any "fishy" flavor or aroma found in some cut-rate crab cakes. Afterwards I found out local friends go here a fair amount, so it appears to have been a good choice! read more

We have been attending the beer dinners, and really enjoy ourselves. The bar tenders and servers are outstanding. The food has been amazing. Can't wait to attend another! read more

Great selection of beer. However, the service was terribly slow despite having an empty restaurant. Food was good, but a bit pricey for what you get. Overall the experience was so/so. The single bartender/server was playing their favorite music (chill R&B vibes) and singing along to every tune, which is cool and all but not the vibe we were looking for. read more

We have been back a few times but this last time was disappointing. I ordered the gyro tacos expecting it to be exactly that but on a tortilla. What I got was cold sliced steak instead of gyro meat. It was very chewy and hard to eat. They should not advertise it as gyro if it is actually steak tacos. The burger my husband received was good as usual and my side salad was great along with the service. read more

Absolutely fantastic!!!! Omg the salad dressing, cheese-it encrusted chicken, side of bacon red potatoes and crab cakes.... Highly recommend!! read more

A perfect dining experience. Great service and food. The Hamburger, burrito and dessert were great as was Missy our server.

How have we missed this place?! WOW. The food was A-mazing. And the staff was super nice and informative. Don't let the name fool you - it is not your regular pub food - it is some fanciness going on - See photos! We started with the charcuterie. Everything on the board was fantastic. I could eat food like this all day. I can't choose which item I liked best bc it was the combo of flavors from the relish, mustard, meat, and cheese that created pure joy. For entrees we ordered the Glazed Ham Brisket, Jalapeno Bacon & Cheddar and House Cured Pork Belly Tacos. I was on a pork belly kick earlier this year and it hit the spot. I'm not a big fan of glazed but I did try the sandwich and it was mighty tasty. The pork tacos though...the mango and crunchy fried pieces for a nice crunch - heavenly. I will say, it could've used a tad more salt but it was also perfect just the way it was. At this point, though stuffed, I really felt we had to try a house dessert. The server recommended the bread pudding special that day. It was better than most bread puddings - not too mushy or too dry. It's not my favorite dessert but we did finish it - that should say something. :-) I highly recommend coming by this place for a nibble of charcuterie or some entrees. You won't be disappointed. The server is also very enthusiastic about beer so it's a great spot for the beer connoisseur. read more

We don't drink so we only went for the food. If we had been drinking it might have been on but I'm kind of a food snob and thought I could have made what they served me at home. Acceptable. Not exciting. read more

This place has to be one of my boyfriend and I's favorites of Frederick. Firstly it's small, and there's no reservations. We plan accordingly, we won't share our trick however keep the size of the location in mind. A seemingly endless beer collection and an awesome bar of solid liquors. The food, oh my. Wings, crab dip, and the brussel sprouts would probably be our favorites in no particular order. If there's anything you take from my review...ORDER THE CRAB DIP. read more
