We drove an hour here on the recommendation of a friend and arrived at opening for an early lunch. Our warm welcome from an unhappy looking dude: "For future reference, please wait to be seated." Wow. Ok. What a jerk - who greets customers that way? After our scolding, he proceeded to wax pretentious about their new special, which I ordered and was just ok and twice the price he quoted. I'm giving it two stars because our server was super sweet and professional. Needless to say, we won't be returning. read more

Loved the food! It was delicious. Loved the atmosphere. My only complaint is that there are no physical menus, only online mobile phone ordering. It made viewing the full menu complicated. I'm old school, I'd prefer a physical menu to hold in my hands. read more

White Rabbit is our go to spot now for food and drinks! We had Johnathan as our server and he was able to recommend a beer that would pair well with my chicken sandwich (they have SO many beers lol!) Very attentive server, and delicious food! read more

Boy do I recommend this place: I have wanted to go for years and finally was able. Worth the wait! I had the burrata appetizer (unbelievably good) and the cheese pizza. The pizza is Detroit style and is apparently an award winner. I can see why. The atmosphere is very comfy and the tables are well spaced you order from an app and they bring the food to you but servers are very friendly and helpful when you have a question or need something. 100% do not miss this place. read more

White Rabbit Gastropub - Detroit Style Pizza & Wings - Gastropubs Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

We decided to try here after reading other yelp reviews. I'm super happy we did! We each had a drink and a small plate (honestly have no idea since it was a few months ago). This place was awesome! It was super hard to find, as we're clearly from out of town. I put it in the gps and kept going in circles, to the point I was ready to give up. Something told me to go around the building and parking garage and "ahhhhh, there it was in all of its glory". We sat down and they were pretty busy, so we waited a few minutes. I had to go in to use the bathroom and wow, this place is beautiful! I cannot wait to return because their beer was good and they allow well behaved dogs outside. read more

This place is an 11/10! Food is incredible. You HAVE to try the pizza. The menu has everything and more. PLUS a huge variety of amazing cocktails. The service is great- you can order from your phone or with one of their many wonderful waitstaff. Lastly, the place is a total vibe! There is no bad seat and it's decorated so spectacularly. I can't wait to go back!! read more

Any restaurant you go to it is all about customer service. This place the serves was horrible. But the food was awesome. The pizza crust was delicious and the toppings was out of this world: The bacon wrapped shrimp was delicious and spicy. The Asian salad was dressed with the right amount of dressing. The atmosphere was very relaxing. Over all the food is what makes the establishment stand out. The customer service was horrible. We had to ask for drinks and other items more the 15 times. read more

White Rabbit is found right off of New Market St on Market Space. It may look like a wrong turn at first but keep on going and you'll see the parking lot and the restaurant. There is indoor and outdoor seating. When you get to your table there is a QR code specifically for your table where you can view the menu, put in your order, and pay your tab. The server told me that the servers function as a team and you can flag anyone down for assistance. The interior is cozy and dimly lit with eclectic decorations like the huge deer head over the ma As other reviews have said, the restaurant is known for its Detroit style pizza. I got their "In Crust We Trust" pepperoni pizza which is different from their regular pepperoni pizza in that it was pepperoni baked into its crust as well. The pizza was delicious and it certainly lives up to its award-winning reputation. It is on the saltier side but I prefer that anyway. I look forward to coming back and trying their 100 pepperoni pizza! read more

Dinner at the White Rabbit was a great experience for the family from the moment we walked in. Almost immediately on sitting down and without asking, water was brought to the table including kids cups for the kids. This may seem like a simple thing, but after countless restaurants bringing the kids water in glass until requested, these little touches matter. Definitely kid friendly overall. Anyway, onto the part of the review that everyone cares about - the food! Detroit style pizza...where have you been hiding? In Detroit, I guess. But this was the first time my wife and I ever heard of it or tried it. Wow! It was amazing - thick crust like Chicago, but much lighter somehow with air pockets built into the crust. We had a pizza with pepperoni, ricotta and mike's hot honey. The other food was also great, including the cucumber and feta appetizer. The drinks were well priced (a bunch of $6 specials on a Monday) and tasty. And the service (even beyond the kids cups) was excellent. Attentive, friendly, and offered great suggestions. Would encourage anyone reading this far to absolutely go - won't find a better food / atmosphere / service combination in Frederick! read more

My husband and I visited for dinner on Sunday night for the first time. We were lucky enough to snag a spot right out front. I was kind of confused by the sign by the meters, so I threw a couple quarters in there to play it safe. It didn't appear that anyone else did, but I figured a couple bucks is better than a parking ticket! Prior to our visit I contacted in reference to a reservation. I was advised they do not take reservations but the gentleman that I corresponded with was super accommodating and ensuring us a table since we were coming from a distance. We ended up snagging some seats at the bar since we arrived a little early. Just like every where else, the restaurant is severely understaffed and in the process of training their employees for different rolls. The girl we had at the bar was still training. She was friendly and took great care of us. We each had a couple draft beers. The selection is huge! We started with an order of buffalo wings and truffle fries. The wings were delicious, not really spicy. The truffle fries were so good! They were hot, crispy and had amazing flavor. I could eat them every day. I had the smash burger and got the cucumber feta instead of fries since I had some as an appetizer. I cleared my plate. I just couldn't understand the upcharge of $2.50 for cucumber feta instead of fries. I thought that was a bit excessive and not worth it. My husband had the Veronica Vaughn pizza which came with pepperoni, ricotta and a few other ingredients. He loved it. He ate half and took the other half to go so we could save room for dessert. For dessert we had the cinnabunny. It was a large cinnamon roll with an orange glaze. We shared it and still couldn't finish. It was great. I wanted to try the carrot cake but we did not have room this time. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit to the White Rabbit Gastropub and would visit a lot more if it wasn't over an hour away! read more

Amazing pizza just like the reviews say, did not like the strawberry shortcake but the pizza was awesome. We got a crab poutine and the supreme being pizza Very convenient to park in the parking garage and walk down the stairs directly in front of the Rabbit. Very European style no ice in water and any waiter or waitress can take your order or anything. Very good we'll definitely be back. read more

TLDR: Laid back bar/restaurant in the heart of downtown Frederick. Detroit style pizza, expansive craft beer and cocktail offerings make this a great place to hang out with friends. Location tucked away off the main street w/ parking. Vibe: 4/5. White Rabbit is a small restaurant tucked away in a back alley behind a parking garage. They offer limited indoor seating mostly consisting of 2 tops. Outdoor seating in the parking lot in front of the restaurant is also available and consists of umbrella covered 4 top picnic tables. There is limited private parking available in front of the restaurant as well. Service: 4/5. We went on a Saturday night around 630pm, peak hours. Our group was a party of 8, so we opted to sit outside at 2 adjacent picnic tables. Our service was decent considering they were extremely busy both inside and out. Drink orders were taken promptly as well as food. We asked if we could push our two tables together, however this request was declined, totally understandable. One of the pizzas we ordered came out of the oven burnt, however the server promptly let us know and had a replacement fired up asap. All in all, great service. Food: 4/5. We ordered 3 of their infamous Detroit style pizzas, the Supreme Being, the Chicken and Waffles and the Smash Burger. All three came out perfectly baked with a crunchy golden brown crust and soft interior. The favorite of the bunch was the Supreme with it's savory tomato sauce and perfect blend of toppings and cheese. The Chicken and Waffles and Smash Burger pizzas were tasty in their own respects, however lacked the umami bomb from the tomato sauce (both are sauceless). read more

Best Detroit style pizza I've had since moving to Maryland. The place in DTSS is good, but this is better. We had the Veronica Vaughn and it was pizza perfection. Our server was great, the place is super cute, and it's too bad it's an hour drive from our house, but now we need to make excuses to come to Frederick more often. We got here right before the big lunch crowd; we got a table right away but when we left people were standing outside in the rain. If I didn't have to drive the mimosa flight sounded interesting, but I did, alas. read more

Place came highly recommended and the place itself is great and the service was great but the food was not so tasty. Got the pizza and the beet burger and they were just so so. Still recommend if you're in the area but was not impressed with the food. read more

I've been saying for a while that I wanted to check out some of the restaurants and bars in Frederick. So we decided to check out White Rabbit. Its a pretty small spot, located behind the parking garage. They set up some outdoor tables, but had a longer wait, so we opted for indoor seating. Staff there seemed pleasant and attentive. I liked the vibe and decor; different from what I am used to when dining out. We wanted to share food, so we ordered the carb poutine and the Supreme being pizza. The poutine was pretty good, but at the end a bit too saucy for me. The pizza was a thick Detroit style pizza and was perfect for sharing. We also had a few beers. I especially like that they offer smaller sizes since I like to try different beer. My husband enjoys IPAs and he was happy to see that they had several options. Its also great that they offer beer from local breweries. read more

A Hidden Gem with Top-Tier Flavor & Vibes White Rabbit in Frederick absolutely nailed it. We came in with no special occasion--just looking for great food, a chill vibe, and quality drinks--and this place exceeded every expectation. The atmosphere is perfect for a lowkey get-together. Casual, yet thoughtfully designed with a warm, welcoming energy. The service was spot-on: friendly, attentive, and efficient without ever being overbearing. We especially appreciated the pay-and-order-by-phone system, which made everything seamless. Now for the food: incredible. Their award-winning pizza absolutely lived up to the hype, and the artichoke parm sandwich was rich, crispy, and delicious. Don't sleep on the fries--hot honey and Old Bay dusted, paired with their vinaigrette aioli, they were a flavor bomb. To top it off, the margaritas were crisp and well balanced, and both the California Roll IPA and Power Boots IPA were fantastic craft choices. Flawless experience from start to finish. We'll absolutely be back--and bringing friends. read more

White Rabbit is a two story restaurant in what must be a historic building in the middle of Frederick. The menu looked quite intriguing so we had to make a stop after hiking in Catoctin for the morning. This was a weekday lunch and there were only a couple of tables of customers when we got there. Service was quick. We ordered: Chicky Chicky Parm Parm ($15) - Comes with a mixed greens salad that comes lightly dressed with some kind of very sweet mustard based dressing. The sandwich itself consists of a sliced baguette made from pizza dough, a fried chicken breast, cheese, and basil herb oil. The baguette was sprinkled with cheese on top (baked to a crisp) and was unique in terms of texture; the parts that were cooked more were crisp and tough (in a good way), the parts that were less baked were very chewy. Totally different from a traditional baguette. The chicken had the perfect crunch on the outside, but was fried slightly too long - some parts of the chicken interior were drier than I would have liked. The cheese obviously works well on the sandwich. The menu indicated that they use marinara as the main sauce but they only had the basil herb oil on this one for some reason. Maybe they forgot it or ran out. Still, the dish was very good. Chicken Biscuit ($17) with Upgrade to Crazy Feta Fries ($1.50) - Wow! Talk about a butter overload! This isn't really a southern style biscuit, missing the tender flakiness, but it was so loaded with butter, I wonder how many sticks of butter was used. The biscuit was rectangle shaped and pretty thin and was really savory, tender, and crumbly. A unique and very filling rendition of a biscuit for sure. The chicken this time had the perfect crisp and juiciness and the flavors melded together well with the fresh zing of the pickles and the sweet honey drizzled all over. There was some crispy cheese dripped around the biscuit. A great dish. The fries were pretty average and had a well proportioned amount of feta spread on top that was heavily seasoned with oregano. One caveat - watch your bill. Things are mainly done through an online ordering system. Due to some table moving shenanigans by the previous party, somehow their orders ended up being added to our bill. The waiter did some magic to separate things out, but then the other party paid for our dishes and the portion we were responsible for was for their stuff. Kind of strange. We just went and did a manual payment instead of online afterwards. read more

Food was very tasty. Pizza is Boston style (thick breast crust). We ordered the Vaughn pizza and the house salad. The house salad had bacon and avocado with a nice house dressing ($13). I thought the pizza was a bit pricey as it only has 4 slices and cost $22. Service: the waitress was nice and attentive. Easy to order through your phone and to pay Ambience: nice ambience and it has outdoor sitting read more

Great little hidden spot!! Definitely worth the visit ! The service was great, even though they didn't let us combine tables for COVID related reasons the one party was willing to move for us to be closer and the waiters were very accommodating. The one pizza took some time but the manager was kind enough to come out and let us know instead of making us wait! We got the supreme (not pictured), chicken and waffles pizza and the smash burger pizza. Overall the Detroit style pizzas were good but I do wish the smash burger had a little bit more meat as most felt like it was lettuce and pickles and minimal sauce. The drink selection is great and the waiter seemed to be honest and knowledgeable about the various options! I also tasted the Parmesan garlic fries ... A MUST GET!! read more

So the stars being knocked off has to do with a bit of the wait, cleanliness and lack of reservations. No outdoor reservations are available. You show up and chances are there is a 15 to 30 minute wait. If the weather is good you're in luck since you can walk around the downtown area. But SOL if it's bad weather. Both times I went to the host stand (indoors) there was a bit of a wait with no one manning the stand. They might be short staffed I am not sure. Our table was not clean when we were just told to find it "there is only one empty table, that would be yours" (server did not show us to our table). We had to ask for the table to be cleaned. In the middle of a pandemic I'm sorry but that's not cool. The table was unclean and even had the tip/receipt from the last customer still on it. Again I am guessing a lot of the issues might just have to do with them being short staffed and taking on more than 4 or 5 people can handle. It took them about 20 minutes to get our orders from when we sat down. The food however was however fantastic. We had the crab poutine and the chicken and waffle Detroit pizza. Food came out fast and was delicious and service was fine otherwise. All in all this would be a 3.5 star experience for me. Service was friendly but small things kind of stand out like not being shown to the table, not having a clean and sanitized table (standard practice even when there is no pandemic being honest) and a long wait time to get our orders in. read more

Great pizza. Cool spot tucked away in an alley. Indoor and outdoor spaces. Frederick is buzzing.

I've been to this downtown area in Frederick twice now and opted to just keep coming here (White Rabbit) instead of somewhere new (which is typically not something I do). Their online ordering is easy. They give you a lot of options and customization freedom that I don't see in many other businesses. Everyone I know says Chicago or New York has the best pizza. But White Rabbit has convinced me that I love Detroit style. Their crust is amazing and crispy and airy. Toppings are plentiful. Vegan cheese was even pretty good! The standout was definitely the chicken and waffles. I've had the chicken and waffles pizza twice, the vegetarian jalapeño sandwich, the crab pizza, the lemon dessert, and one other pizza... can't remember which one because it was awhile ago. Both times, food was solid and the waitstaff is efficient and polite. The interior is like a cozy gastropub where you could grab a good burger or a rare craft beer. read more

The food was great, I will be coming back here. It was me and my families first time going to White Rabbit. I have to say the waitress we had Nakia was great to us. Since we had never been before, she was great about helping us figuring out what we wanted to drink, eat etc. If you go to this restaurant I would ask for her, no doubt. As I said the food was great, but the service over all is why we will be coming back! read more

Picked a random place to have a drink so we decided to follow the white rabbit. Very interesting Gastro pub. We stayed on the main floor which is a small bar area with a few tables. You can also sit outside or upstairs. We made it for happy hour & decided to pick some fairly random happy hour appetizers: Brussel Crowe (fried Brussel sprouts tossed with a brutus sauce & topped with Parmesan cheese) & the Crab Poutine (fries, cheese, Crab bechamel, crab, old bay seasoning & scallions). Wow! Now I know these two types of dishes normally wouldn't be eaten together because they have vastly, almost conflicting flavors, but we were in the mood to try something unusual. Each appetizer was flavorful in its own way but the crab poutine was decadent. Hubby tried two IPAs: Crabby Kolsch & Crisp Lager. He felt the second one tasted more like a Zinfandel so he wasn't keen on that one. On the other hand, he enjoyed the Kolsch beer, which is brewed here in Maryland. To finish up we ordered a drink called Dr. Bob, which is a Miller High Life with Disaranno. According to the host, it should taste like a Dr Pepper. We disagreed about it. I felt it had the undertone of a Dr Pepper. Even though hubby did not agree he felt it had a well rounded flavor. Overall, we enjoyed this new and unexpected experience. If we lived here, we would have no problem going back. read more

Ordered delivery from White Rabbit. They left an entire entree out of our order, and are impossible to get ahold of. Nobody ever answers the phone, and the voicemail box is full.

White Rabbit has a quiet hidden location in Downtown Frederick. The restaurant is located in a quaint Victorian style home with two bars both upstairs and downstairs. The furnishings are simple and the dining area provides privacy with curtains. The food is moderately priced and fairly good. I had the smash burger which was a bit crispy and crumbly. The cheese and condiments made for a juicy meal. This Gastropub is worth trying for the pizza also which is enough for two. read more

Love the pizza & the salads. The poutine was too rich for me. I enjoy it when the top floor is open- the atmosphere is nice & the bartenders are slinging amazing drinks! The only time I had a hard time was when I left my wallet at home by mistake and one of the owners was in there drinking & being really loud. He found out what was happening & totally humiliated me. He was a big blonde man & it was so embarrassing for me as a single woman alone at the bar to experience. Shame on this guy. Truly. read more
