An unpretentious little restaurant and bar. Very good service by Marcus and a nice selection of food and beer/wine. Would definitely recommend for an informal dinner and drinks. Atmosphere is that of an old neighborhood bar. read more

A simply stunning beer selection! I need to emphasize SELECTION because great care is taken when choosing these twenty taps. The variety and quality is amazing. If you are a beer aficionado then this is your place. Note that all twenty of the taps are delicious crafts. If you are looking for a Bud Lite, otherwise known as water, you're in the wrong place. I've been here several times for lunch. The lunch menu is limited but tasty. Try the PRIME RIB FRENCH DIP for $11. It comes with caramelized Vidalia onions on a toasted hoagie roll and is served with au jus. There are no french fries here but you can choose roasted red skin potatoes as a side and they are OMG delicious. Every time I have visited the bartenders have been great. No problems at all with customer service. A great sandwich and a delicious craft beer or two or three is a four star experience for me. read more

Roasthouse pub has the best crab dip I've had outside of the Eastern Shore! I also have enjoyed the variety of beers on tap. They offer both indoor and outdoor dining! This is a hidden gem in Frederick! read more

I started to come here in early 2010's when the tap list was really nice (Racer 5, Green Flash, Ballast Point, Stone) and I kept coming back to see what the menu was after. I think they lost their beer and gastropub directors at some point before 2013 and have not been back since. read more

Great food and fabulous service! Has a quaint and cozy atmosphere. We will definitely be returning.

I had lunch today (4 March 2012) with my husband. It was my first time at Roadhouse Pub, and Tony's second. The place was empty except for 3-4 people at the bar and three other tables with diners. The food was very good! I had the pulled pork sandwich that was served with toasty ciabatta bread. I love a good sandwich with fresh bread. The BBQ sauce was on the sweet side (for my tastes) but good flavor. Next time I'll ask for it on the side. The sandwich came with a side of roasted quartered potatoes, which were excellent. Simply prepared (tossed in olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic) and flavorful. Tony had the oven fried chicken breast, which also came with the same roasted potatoes, and a small bowl of roasted Brussel sprouts with chopped bacon. The chicken was coated in a cornmeal breading. He said all was very good. I tried the chicken and it was tender. We were pleased with the service and we felt the prices were reasonable. I definitely want to come back and have dinner. Overall, a very good dining experience. read more

Had the crab cake sandwich - very good!!! Good size & excellent flavor. My husband had the cheeseburger- also very good..we both had the Brussel sprouts w bacon as a side - delicious!!! And the variety of beers is amazing!! read more

My wife and I went there today one a recomendation. We seated ourselves and waited 15 minutes before our drink order was taken, A good half an hour later we were still waiting to place our lunch order as if we were invisible. I had my back towards the bar, I looked behind my back and the waitress who was apparently late for work, said, I'll be with you in a minute. I barked back at her and her told her we wanted our check. We went to May's and had drinks within 5 minutes and food within 20 minutes, maybe less. I sure as hell wouldn't waste my time on this trendy shit hole with very subpar service, I can't opine on the food because we didn't have all day to wait. Shit hole..... Yelp should have the option for zero stars. PS -dude, get rid of that stupid man bun. Shit list! read more

I have been here several times now, and left happy each time. Fantastic selection of craft beers. If you like interesting flavorful beers, this is as good as it gets in the DC area. Prime rib is very good on weekends. I like a place that will mix 20oz prime rib and then have a vegetarian dish next. Prime rib sandwich is also good. Best burger in Frederick so far, and I've tried a few. This is a casual little pub with good beer and a small menu with good quality food. What's not to like. read more

Very impressed, especially since they replaced Philly's which frankly, looked like a bit of a hole in the wall. The interior was nicely redone and I liked the bottle caps design under the glass in the booths. Service was very friendly and it was hard to choose something off the creative menu. They have twenty different beers to select from that are updated often on chalk boards on each side of the dining room. They even gave us some "teasers" while we decided what to eat that were very unique. Excited to go back, it will quickly become one of my favorites in Frederick. read more

Food is spectacular and drinks are on point! Service is always stellar and although you may drive by this dive place with the sketchy motel behind it, you should really stop! The inside is tastefully decorated and you will be happy you decided to give it a try. Trust me! read more

Where to start? Probably with the beer! With a rotating tap you know you'll always find something new to try, including a nice selection of local beers. Not sure what to try? Ask! The staff here has never steered me wrong! The food? Yum. I love the veggie mac and cheese and the tacos. There's also a nice brie sandwich. My husband likes to come on the weekend when they have prime rib. Oh, and seriously, save room for dessert. The bread pudding is the best thing on the menu. It changes up but is always yummy, especially when they use porters or stouts to make it. Double yum! It's a nice unassuming spot with maybe 10-12 tables and a small bar. The decor is craft beer based and they have bottle caps in the tables. All in all a laid back afternoon or evening out. Most importantly (okay second most importantly, the bread pudding is number one) the service is always friendly and spot on. read more

Dont come here if you want something quick. Service was extremely slow and the food is overpriced

Roasthouse is not Closed and has the best Burgers un Frederick. 5 Huge Stars !

It's hard to not notice the cool sign driving down Urbanna Pike, but like a lot of people, we must've driven past this place 100 times before we finally decided to try it out. In a nutshell, the place is pretty much as excellent as it looks from the outside! We have now been to Roasthouse over half a dozen times, and we absolutely love it. For starters, the atmosphere is welcoming, light, fun, and just pretty much everything you would hope for in a great pub! But really the best part about the joint is the unique and tasty food it provides, with so many interesting menu choices, both sinful and healthy! I understand that the chef has traveled the world, picking up different cuisine concepts along the way. His combination delivers quite a punch. Everyone talks about the brussels sprouts with bacon, and so will l! Amazing. Whenever we get that pork thingmabob, we take the other half of it home. So it's not necessarily food you would associate with the pub, it's creative and flavorful and unusual and spectacular. I just read a review that said the potatoes were not right and the au jou beef was dry. Whatever. Not saying that couldn't happen, but I had them both last night and they were just fine-really good in fact. And then there's the beer. I'm not really all that into beer, but it's still fun to pick a new one and experience the different flavors. Yesterday, I had the RAR Bucktown Brown ale and my fiancé had the Victory Mighty Things, which is an IPA. Both were fabulous. All of the servers are really cool and fun. We had the girl with blue hair a few times and she was just great. (Sorry I forgot her name.!) Then we had Maxwell who was blasting with positive energy and made a big impression. Marcus was our guy last night, the first time. He has this great big beard and just looks happy to be there. All the servers are. There's like 0 turnover apparently. I will give Marcus a little bit of constructive criticism here, though: Perhaps I'm the only person who doesn't like when waiters say this, but I hate the question, "How's everything TASTING?" Again, maybe it's just me. But if I never hear this again my entire life I'll be a happy customer. ("How is everything so far?" might be a nice substitute.) Alas, if that's the biggest complaint I have-and it is-then you can tell I'm pretty happy with Roasthouse Pub. Heck, even the (decor) is unusual and welcoming. Certainly it's comfortable! Will finish this with a big THANK YOU for everything you do. Your addition to the Frederick restaurant list is a very important one. (Ok, I lied. One more thing: We also learned recently that the ownership is still fairly new. So if you've been here before way back-4 or 5 yrs maybe?-do not judge the place based on that old experience!) read more

I love a place that has a wide variety on tap. In my opinion the menu was a little limited for my taste but food was definitely very good.

I've really only been here for the 20 beers on tap (not all at once) But I've also ordered the roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon. Blah. Not like roasted BS I've had other places, they had absolutely no seasoning, but I will say they were fresh.... I'll stick to the beers..... read more

I visited here last night but the kitchen closes at 9pm. I came back today and had the specials. Shrimp tempura was awesome Red snapper was superb. Paired with Allabash Curieux a barrel aged Abbey Triple. FANTASTIC!!! If you come for beer or food you will be very impressed. The food and selection of beers are excellent read more

TL;DR: this place after gun range = perfect American Saturday!! What an American day!! 90 mins at the gun range with my buddy, then we found this gem of a pub! Amazing food, amazing draft selection, staff was fun and super personable, and the food was amazing. Ham brisket(?) sandwich with jalapeño bacon glaze, melted white cheddar, and house made stone ground ale mustard. Side of Brussel sprouts sautéed with bacon and garlic. CAN NOT WAIT TO GO BACK!!! read more

FYI this would be 2 stars except our server and the brussel sprouts saved it. Had the French dip sandwich. The meat was dry and flavorless. This may sound super picky but the onions were cut all different sizes so in one bite you'd get a bite sized piece and in the next you'd get a huge chunk or two. None of them were caramelized in the least, just soggy, uneven chunks. As if that wasn't enough everything had been heated up in the microwave My better half had the pork shank. He liked it well enough. He's a meat and potato guy all the way so the dish could do no wrong. I tasted his redskin potatoes and they had this weird rancid taste to them as if the bacon fat they were cooked in was old. Bread pudding for desert was really flavorful although also heated in a microwave. Nice environment and tons of craft beer choices but I could have accomplished the same thing by picking up a six pack and a frozen dinner. Sorry but reheating everything in a microwave is what I expect from Applebee's not a gastropub. read more

I'm a beer-lover, and back in 2015 I stopped by the Roasthouse Pub because their sign out front clearly indicates a pride in their beer selection. And indeed, the beer was great, but the food I ordered wasn't. Well 2 years later, I decided to give them a 2nd chance, and I'm very happy that I did. To say that the food has gotten better is an understatement - the duck pastrami and brie appetizer was fantastic, as was the wild boar sausage that my girlfriend ordered. The fall-off-the-bone pork shank over garlic mashed potatoes that I ordered was phenomenal. Add to that, their beer selection has only gotten better. I doubt that you could find a better flight in the Frederick area. All-in-all, this place is a hidden gem. read more

BEWARE! Dishonest business practices. I got takeout on a visit to Frederick and paid with a credit card. The next day, three additional fraudulent charges were posted from the restaurant to my credit card read more

On a very busy (slammed), evening, the small staff was incredibly efficient, as well as the kitchen. Great atmosphere and incredible food. Salmon at a beer bar? Nailed it! Thanks everyone at Roasthouse read more

Nitro porter was excellent if memory serves. Great waiter, recommended General Tsos wings and crab dip. Crabby crab dip!! Yum. Good call ! Wings were good, (but if looking for spicy, make another choice. ) sauce was fun and sticky and peanutty. Lots of napkins needed Waiter (so sorry, forgot his name) kept drinks full and did a nice job circling back to all of his tables. Try Roasthouse the next time you are close by and you might just find you have a new watering hole in Frederick. read more

Cozy inside and just loud enough that I didn't have to feel bad about my kids host jostling around during dinner. Great beer selection. Service was very friendly (though missing at times). The crab dip was great, and I also enjoyed the generously portioned pork shank. I strongly recommend the brussel spouts side. The salmon we had was blackened and served on a quinoa salad. To finish it all, I ordered a slice of peanut butter pie. It was the right call. read more

We've been coming to this place for years now and have been happy with everything about it until tonight. It was super busy at 5:15 when we arrived. Saw an empty table and made our way to it. There was a reserved sign on it. Didn't know that was a thing there.. Had to wait about 15 min for a large party to leave and reconfigure the tables. Sat down , ordered wine beer and wings. 45 minutes later, the beer was gone , the salads arrived, no wings yet. Reminded the waiter. 10 more minutes went by. Finally they arrive. 5 minutes later the main course arrives. My side is the wrong one. I finished my main course and the correct one arrives. They did the right thing by taking it off our bill, but it was still an unpleasant experience. The last Thursday of the month is an event night, it seems like they need to staff up for it better. read more

Amazing!! A bit of a wait bc it is a small place but totally worth it! Great beer selection & awesome food. Pork shank is on point! Extra points for tolerating my small children! Had to edit bc I forgot to mention the awesome service. Everyone was super efficient & lovely read more

This was the best meal I've had in at least a year. Service was great and the food was unbelievably wonderful. Everything we had was really fresh and flavorful and it wasn't all fried food either. I had the bison stew to start and it was warm and comforting. The jerk chicken tacos were outstanding and so was the bangers and mash. we also tried the kale and the brussel sprouts with bacon. I really can't believe I live 30 minutes from this place and don't go. we loved the 20 beers on tap too. I can't wait to go back. I want to try the prime rib sandwich and the crab dip next time. read more

Great food and large selection of regional and local beers. Friendly staff with decent pricing. Would go back.

This is based only off customer service....which absolutely sucked! Walked in Thursday at 7pm two people working the whole restaurant which was packed. Of course when those are the predicaments we give a little grace.. I stood at the "please wait to be seated" for 5-10 min with 0 acknowledgment while 2 other parties were sat. A sweet dad and son were seated at a 4 top and moved to the last table (2 top) so we could sit. The 2 workers continued for 10 minutes to serve guest that already had their food and were refilling their half full beers. No water,no apologies, no eye contact....nothing...wow I was hesitant to leave bc we are on road trip and had already wasted 15 min there.. read more

Stop by on the way to college tour in PA. Not disappointed. Beer selection was great 20 + on tap including a few sours( not for me but the wife likes em). I had the fiery BBQ chicken sandwich, it was great, chicken not dry, which is usually the case. Side of Brussel spouts w/ bacon, very yummy. Wife got the salmon, she said good but little overcooked. My son had the beef tenderloin, also a little overcooked, he said if it came out actually medium, would have been top 3 steaks he's had. All in all a great little restaurant. Also a little pricey, but worth it. read more

Fantastic beer selection and make sure to try the bread pudding, made with a whiskey sauce and beer bread. Just avoid the food, it's overpriced and not so good. Maybe make an exception for the crab dip, while expensive it is tasty. read more

I love this little place!! The food is awesome, the beer is always changing, and the staff is always friendly and tentative.

When it opened in 2011 it had amazing craft beer selections. The food, while limited in selection, has always been great and still is. But the craft beer selections diminished in quality to the point I had more options at home and have not been there in a long while. But it's a very welcoming place. read more
