Good place, has a comfortable atmosphere, you can be dressed up- you can be not dressed up and still feel comfortable. Great Food, Great staff! I feel at home, feel like part of the family. can you tell I like it? read more

My husband and I just ate here with our 13 month old son. Never heard of it before tonight, wanted something different, found it on Yelp. Love it!! New favorite 'hole in the wall'. Great, friendly service and the food was delicious!! read more

All I can say is "Porky the dairy bull" ..... A sammich with every meat from the barn yard, and how amazing you are dairy bull sammich...... It got 3 stars because its A-OK.. Its badly in need of a renovation because its like walking into the early 90s when you walk in but I guess its part of the charm. Either way, its definitely a fall back joint. read more

My boyfriend and our coworker go to Wag's all the time!!! The food is fast and amazing. Karen the bartender is so sweet and attentive. The staff are super friendly and the service is unbeatable!! read more

This place is very dark and on the small side, however, they have an awesome patty melt and fries!

This is one of those places in which I suspect you either like it or hate it. It's located in a dark narrow basement of a building. First, the negative which again keeps going back to the failure of employees to take the pandemic seriously. One employee wasn't wearing a mask at all. The bartender who served us did have her mask on but would often pull it down so that it covered only her mouth. Once again, doing so renders the mask ineffective and pointless. I did feel for her though because there was a couple sitting at the bar that appeared to be real jerks, possibly too much to drink, not sure but they left without tipping her of which she loudly voiced her opinion of. On to the food, we went at the suggestion of some co-workers and we were not disappointed. If you like an old fashioned burger, you know the thin patty that is a bit greasy but tasty then you should like the burgers here. It was overcooked though especially having ordered it medium rarish to medium and it came out well done. It was tasty though. But the best part was the fresh cut fries. Made me feel like I was a kid again at Cedar Point munching on freshly cut freshly cooked fries that can hold the malt vinegar and just the right amount of salt (though truly a little less would have been okay too). We had our food to go which seemed the safer choice. We look forward to returning at some point. I hear the fries calling my name! read more

Best place in Frederick for a good, cheap happy hour. The burgers are usually great! I had a delicious medium rare burger last night. Last night was a little weird because our waitress asked me and my friend how we would like our burgers cooked but didn't ask my husband. He eats his burgers rare and coming from France he doesn't always think to ask specifically to have a burger rare or medium rare since that's the norm in France. Long story short, still a great place in Frederick to go on a Friday night. Dinner for 3 including 3 drinks each came to $40. Can't beat that :) read more

This is my go-to place in downtown Frederick for cheap beer and hot soup. Compared to the other restaurants here it is nothing special, but for the "hole-in-the-wall" bar experience this place can't be beat. There is only one beer on tap (Yuengling) and if you come between 4 and 7 Monday or Tuesday they're $0.75 a mug! The rest of the days have a 2 for 1 domestic beer happy hour. Also they always have chili and a soup of the day, neither of which have disappointed me yet (you may need to add some salt on occasion). They boast the "best burger in Frederick" but I don't see how that's possible. Don't get me wrong, they aren't bad... I would say they are exactly what you would expect from looking at this place. The crowd is typically the local working class and there is always a story to listen to, whether you want to hear it or not. This makes for an inviting atmosphere if you're going out for a drink alone, but may be distracting if you are with other people. I would (and frequently do) recommend this place to my friends that are coming to the area. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Place is very small and cramped the food was pretty good but not the best. service was great! we had a nice time but after an 1 hour the walls start closing in on you!!! read more

One of my favorite burger joints. Love downstairs bar atmosphere and $0.75 Yuengling drafts mon & tues 4-7 is too good to pass up. The fries are also worth the trip. Boardwalk style. Great with vinegar (if you like that), with ketchup or straight out of the basket. read more

After reading all the reviews, I really went in to Wags with pretty high expectations, possibly too high. My first impression was that, while no one was actually smoking when we walked in, I couldn't help but think that this place had possibly hosted some chain smoker convention in the not too distant past. I have nothing against smokers, but the place could use aired out. My wife and I split the Wags burger and an order of fries. The burger was smaller than I expected, and I really didn't care for the wags sauce. It seemed very much out of place and in my opinion, took away from the burger. I have seen it described as a 'pizza sauce, but for a burger', and that's accurate to a point, it was tomato based, and possibly oregano, but it was hard to tell, as the flavor was very pungent and overwhelming. Had I not had the sauce, the burger would have been fine. Nothing special, but a decent average. The fries were a boardwalk style, and good. They would have been above average, however, they basically plate them in a heap, in a bowl so that after you have gotten past the top layer, the rest are soggy from condensation. Something that allowed better air circulation would help, because they were good. Overall the service was fine. I rate three stars because, while I didn't enjoy the was sauce, I don't feel it's something that would alienate everyone, just know its...potent. At least ours was. I would like to give some of the other items on he menu a try though before I went as far as to write the place off. read more

I'm new to Frederick and my husband and I came across this place in downtown thanks to yelp! They have amazing hamburgers here! And the service is great! Our waitress was very consistent. Also a great atmosphere! We went on a Monday and they had a good amount of people at the bar so that tells you a lot about the place. It is just a great place to eat and to hang out. read more

Wag's Restaurant - Amazing bacon cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Wag's is surely the greatest bar in the world and remains to this day my favorite restaurant of all time. They have the best cheeseburgers period and the beer is 75 cents (formerly 50 cents when I was in college). I'm still a little hung up on that price change, but what can you do? Little else at Wag's ever changes, which is why I love it so. Every time I visit Frederick Wag's is the first place I want to go. read more

My gyro was delicious. We ordered the "big batch" of fries and it was HUGE. I think it is enough for like 4-5 people. Dive bar. Nice people. read more

Went to wags for dinner and drinks, definitely not disappointed! It was super packed and the restaurant is really small, but we grabbed a table as soon as someone left. I had the tuna salad sandwich and it was great. The only problem my friend had is that there are very few options if you don't eat red meat. He ended up with a grilled cheese and was still very happy. I recommend getting there early because it's always packed in there. Ordered a lot of the 75cent yuengling on draft during happy hour! Awesome deal! read more

We love Wags! One of the best burgers in town. I always get the Ruben with board walk fries. Happy hour buy one beer get one free until 7:00. read more

By far the best sandwich bar in Frederick. Their burgers are delicious and their Italian is the best I ever had. I have literally tried everything on the menu over the year and they never disappoint. read more

Best in town. Burgers are ridiculously good and the vibe is down right righteous. I'll forever remember the food and experience at Wags. I haven't been in years since I moved but man I really loved them. The only true legit Dive in town read more

Oh Wag's. How i love thee. I stop by all the time - always to get their delicious Wag Fries - with cheese and bacon with a side of ranch. Incredible! Not to mention, a large portion. They also have one of the best Happy Hour specials in Frederick - I highly recommend their whisky sours, but every drink I have ever ordered here has been great. Great food, great drinks, great prices. It is a little smaller of a bar, so have a back-up plan ready if you are coming in a larger party. read more

I want to start this review by saying I have had good experiences with this restaurant in the past. That's the only reason I am giving them 1 star. Last night a group of friends and I came in for my one friends birthday. Once seated our waitress was immediately rude to us saying some of us would not be served. We then sat there waited forever for her to serve two people out our group with the wrong drinks then insinuating that we had guns on us. She then said we were yelling when tables to the left and right of us were being obviously obnoxious. After waiting for what seemed like forever to get two out of the six drinks we ordered both being wrong. She then cashed us out all on one bill. We were so upset with our service we were discussing what tip we should give her. She came over to us said "i know you all are about to be douche bags so just know this is our lively hood" after that we decided she would be getting no tip at all from us. As we left she chased us to the door saying "karma is a bitch and you'll never be allowed back here again!" I would also like to say this is the first ever Yelp review i have ever done because that women was out of line and treated customers like they were scum. My friends and I will never come back to this place with staff like that being allowed to act the way she did. To the larger white women with blonde hair next time you're having a bad night don't take it out on your customers. read more

I picked this place based solely on the YELP REVIEWS. I was looking specifically for a Rueben sandwich . This is NOT the place . They make a ok run of the mill Rueben but NOT the truly GREAT Rueben I've been searching for since I moved to Frederick 4 years ago . I used to live in NYC and am still looking for the perfect Rueben read more

Wags is Frederick's essential American dive. They specialize in sandwiches, burgers and cheesy, delicious pub food. I regularly dine here and rarely leave disappointed. For the high volume during dinner hours, the service is always excellent and attentive. They have amazing hand-cut fries and truly have Frederick's best cheeseburger. Plus, it's awesome that the only beer they have on tap is Yuengling--it fits their style well. If you like cole slaw, try the Rachael or the Rachael burger! read more

Finally found a place that has the brass to cook burgers the way they deserve to be cooked loved the burgers and hand cut fries. If you want an unpretentious place for good solid American fare. This is it. read more

Wag's Restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

My favorite spot in Frederick. Best burgers in Frederick. The pitchers of yuengling are tasty and cheap as well.

Hands down the best burger in Frederick. Good service, cheap drinks, in a cozy basement setting... It's Fredericks own cheers. Highly recommend. read more

The bacon double cheeseburger was juicy and visually appealing. The waitress, Dee, made me feel right at home and was very welcoming and helpful. This was a great find! read more

I had come here once before for lunch and had a fine experience. However recently after and stop for dinner, my experience was unfortunately below par. I came before the late night rush on a Friday night. The atmosphere is what you would expect from a local older bar. They decor is a tad outdated, but that usually doesn't deter me from trying out any restaurant. The space is narrow with the bar to your right as you walk downstairs through the entrance. We walked toward the back and picked a table, as it is a seat yourself place. Not a problem. We were promptly greeted by our lovely waitress. She seemed to know many of the patrons in the restaurant and was well liked. She was super polite and gladly took our drink orders as well as getting us a cup of the crab soup to start. We did not have to wait long, maybe 5 minutes before our drinks and soup arrived. The soup itself was great, classic Maryland crab soup style. I ate it all without hesitation. I then decided to go for the brisket sandwich for my entree. Now I am not super picky with bar food. I will eat a regular old burger or turkey and any kind of sandwich any day of the week. However this brisket sandwich was inedible for me. When it came out, it was presented on a sub roll with a whole onion ring and slice of provolone cheese melted on top, not inside the sub roll running lengthwise like it should. I thought it was odd but did not discount how it might taste. When I took a few bites, I realized the meat was doused in ketchup, also really unusual and did not go with the sandwich at all. The meat tasted like it was a week old and was just heated up and slabbed on the sandwich. It was weirdly soggy and tasteless. The whole sandwich just tasted bad, like it was thrown together at the last minute with whatever ingredients were lying around. I couldn't bare to take more than 3 or 4 bites and had to stop. I realize on a Friday night things get busy and the kitchen is trying to keep up, but the quality of the meal was far from what I had experienced before. Maybe it was just a flook night. But in the future I hope the kitchen puts a little more effort into keeping food fresh and sticking to flavors that work together in a dish. It was just a shame because our waitress was so nice, I would give her 5 stars and the food a 2. read more

I've gotta say that EVERY Friday night, Wag's is the place to go if you want a comfortable place to sit back with friends to have a meal and a few drinks. My friends an I always get the "Cheeseburger Sub" (fixed any way is great)... Though I haven't eaten anything at Wag's that I didn't like... And, of course like everyone says, "You gotta get the fries!"... The staff is great, with some of the friendliest people in town... read more

Wags is a cramped little bar/restaurant, but they have the best french fries. And the tuna melt is certainly passable. But the real standout is the fries. It ain't fancy, but as long as you aren't looking for that, I'd give it 5 stars. read more

Beer is CHEAP but food is expensive, especially with hidden costs. Yuengling for $0.75= awesome! But sandwich was $11 for a meager portion. Worst of all, they don't tell you that asking for fries instead of chips will cost $4, and honey mustard an extra $1. Beware! read more

This pub has been around for as long as I can remember. Great food, especially the burgers, and great service. I highly recommend.

Anytime I'm in downtown Frederick I stop at Wags for a bowl of soup. Really hits the spot!

I go here almost every Friday for lunch and love it! I can't get enough! The staff there is always really friendly, and it has a warm cozy feeling. It's borderline dive, but still manages to be a great place to go. I came here with my girlfriend before our Valentines dinner, and it was awesome to have a few drinks here. If you are from out of town and want a place where the locals hang out for a beer and a burger, you've found the place. read more

LOVE WAGS! Friday happy hours are 2 for 1; which means you get get a quick buzz and not break the bank. The drinks are decent, and service is great. A little hole in the wall place but if you are from Frederick, you love those places! read more

Phenomenal Hamburgers, great atmosphere, and a friendly staff. This is truly a great find. I highly recommend the Phili Burger.

Very straightforward menu - burgers, fries, subs. I got the ham and cheeseburger with a side of chili cheese fries. Very solid homemade chili, and it's refreshing to know and taste that they bake their own sub rolls in house. Pretty generic and mediocre beer selection. Small town ambiance with friendly and attentive service. Open late so I'd recommend this as a cheap, post-drinking soak up the booze meal with friends. Good but not great burgers. read more

Been there twice this summer and the place continues to be consistently good with pleasant service and great bar food. The burgers and fries are local favorites. While pricey, the fries are worth the splurge. My favorite sandwich: the Italian--great roll and plenty of high quality meats and cheeses. Try the soups, especially the gazpacho, available nearly every summertime day. Five steps below the competition continues to be the place to go for good time alone or with friends. read more

You want an amazing burger?! This is the place! Love love love their food! Only thing I don't like is how small the building is..

My family tried this restaurant for lunch today and we will definitely be back. Everyone really enjoyed what they ordered (gyro, amazing wags burger and delicious Rueben). The service was also fantastic. Tuesday was our waitress and she was calling us all by name by the time we paid the bill. Prices were really reasonable as well. We ordered 4 entree's, large fries (the homemade boardwalk kind) to share and 4 soft drinks for $50!! If you get a chance definitely worth checking out. read more

This has been a favorite place for lunch for many many years. Our server Tuesday was not only super pleasant, she was on top of things the whole time. Being the Saturday before Christmas it was pretty busy. She has been our server on previous visits and I can't say enough good things about her. As always our lunch was delicious. We had the Bacon Steaken Cheese and a small batch of fries! Thanks again for Never disappointing! Merry Christmas! read more
