Chicken and Waffles Benedict
Yuki N.

After reading so many nice reviews, we came here for weekend brunch, but unfortunately, the experience was very underwhelming. The ambiance is cozy, and our server was friendly and welcoming. She made sure we understood the menu and checked on us regularly. The mimosa was made with fresh orange juice, which was also a nice touch. Since our coffee and mimosas arrived pretty quickly, we assumed the food would follow shortly. However, we ended up waiting nearly 40 minutes for our food and easily finished our drinks while waiting. My Eggs Benedict had good flavor and nicely runny eggs, but the Canadian bacon was way overcooked and rock hard. I could barely cut or chew it. The English muffin was also overcooked and difficult to cut through. The coleslaw was served warm, which gave it a strange texture. The chicken was crispy but under-seasoned, while the waffle was dense and dry. The small side of succotash was the highlight--it was well-seasoned and enjoyable. I was pretty disappointed by the experience, especially considering the price and many good reviews. There are plenty of other places in the area I'd rather try next time.

Nashville Hot Chicken Pizza
Terry A.

Really nice restaurant! The parking garage was right next to the restaurant, so it's super easy to get here. The vibe of the restaurant is really cool with church pew seating in the booth we got. Everyone liked their drinks and the food was almost perfect. The Nashville hot pizza was perfect, no notes. We love Detroit style pizza, so it was right up alley with the crispy edges. The only knock was the chicken sandwich. The chicken was fried perfectly, but the sandwich didn't have much flavor. The pesto parm fries also sounded much better than the actually thing. It was just fries with small dollops of pesto on top. We would definitely go back for the pizza at least, still a great place!

Pizza
Tara A.

Really friendly staff and delicious food! It's hard to find a good spicy margarita and i have to say they make a good one. I have to be honest at first it looked like a very watered down margarita but thankfully it wasn't. You must get the pizza! Crispy and delicious! The sauce is a great base, sweet and savory.

Elote Pizza
Jackie A.

We stopped in before going to the Frederick Fair. We didn't make reservations but thought at 5:30 Pm on a Saturday it should be ok. The only area available was the upstairs bar which was fine. It was a little chilly up there but besides that it was very well decorated. We sat at the bar and you scanned a code to order. It was ok but the app they use could be a little better. We couldn't note more than one item to remove from a dish which was annoying but the bartender stated she could assist. We got cocktails (watermelon frozen cocktail and I got a Negroni) they were good. The food took a while almost 45mins. We were very hungry and got an appetizer crab fries and the elote pizza and a protein chicken bowl. All items came out together and my sister's chicken on her bowl and the fries were cold. Honestly we didn't have time for them to correct it so we didn't mention it. The food was ok. Not crazy good but the place was cool. Not sure if I would run back but it may have just been an off day.

Watermelon Refresher
Kevin S.

I can see why this place has such a high rating. If I could give percentage of stars they would get a 4.5. We sat at the bar downstairs. We arrived towards the end of Brunch so the outside seating wasn't available. We tried a few drinks and went thru the menu. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked great so instead of ordering a pizza we decided to try several small plates. Our first course was the chicken skewers ginger soy. I wanted to try the Jerk but they were out. The meatballs were next. These were very good but the star of the plate was the bread with homemade honey butter. Wow. I got the cheese bread with pepperoni with side of marinara which is like a mini version of their pizza. We wife got the cucumber and Feta salad. I almost ordered a second plate. It was simple but so good. I look forward to trying the pizza . The Nashville Hot Chicken Pizza caught my eye

Greens Bowl with Shrimp
Mark E.

Come early if you want a table but White Rabbit Gastro Pub is worth the effort for sure. Tucked in a no-visibility corner of Frederick behind the Church Street Parking Garage, this gem of a local restaurant inhabits the space that was La Paz years ago. It's certainly worth the effort to come and find and would even be worth the (expectable) wait for a table. Reservations are not accepted, so planning is the watchword. At 11:30 am on a late winter Saturday which was damp and dreary, we got one of the last tables. Aiming for healthier fare, we got "bowls" (one rice-based with tofu, and one greens-based with shrimp. Both were tasty, plentiful and delicious. This is upscale dining and not perhaps super-affordable for the cost. A $20 salas out to be super-plentiful and delicious to justify the expense, but these both definitely well. Despite a bazillion competitors within walking distance, we definitely plan to come back. We're fans.

Crab Poutine
Charon R.

Let me just start with the fact that I am Quebecois and so I know my poutine and THIS crab poutine will bring me back to this restaurant if nothing else! Delicious and loaded with crab! The restaurant was a bit full and as we decided to give this spot a try sort of last minute, we were more than happy to sit at the bar. We were exhausted from a long day and starving, and because of both those things we skipped cocktails. It was very disappointing to have to do all our ordering through the app, resulting in virtually zero interaction with any staff whatsoever. It left me with just an odd feeling I can't explain, perhaps because we were looking right at staff sitting at the bar and yet no one spoke to us. Anyway, the food was great (my friend had the smash burger and fries) and I will be coming back at least once for the poutine again and to try their pizza. Apparently they are known for their pizzas and they ones I saw did look delicious.

Banana Pudding Cute Little Mini Donuts
Jennifer B.

Wow this place was yummy! I only took one picture but the food was noteworthy. We had the chicken and biscuit sandwich which was huge and delicious. Brussel sprouts and mini sliders. We ended with banana pudding doughnuts what a clever idea. It was my first time there but I'll definitely be back.

Chicken Caesar Cutlet
Neha M.

I can't believe I'm discovering this place so late despite being a local. Their three sauce pizza (menge a trois? something like that) was insane. I'm definitely a sauce person on my pizza and this was right up my alley. Buttery thick crust. My friend got the chicken cutlet caesar sandwhich and she loved it said the dressing had crazy flavor and her cutlet was super crispy. We definitely need to go back and try more things. All of their pizzas look really unique. Table next to us got the one with a lot of pepperoni on it and it looked very good too. I reccomend parking at the Church Street Garage to access the restaurant as it's sort of hard to find parking. Interior was quaint and conservative and our waitress was amazing and very sweet.

Brussel crowe, crab poutine and Veronica Vaughn pizza
Jimmy S.

This place is a great spot in town for good drinks and eats. The Veronica Vaughn pizza was excellent with the ricotta being very abundant and the pepperoni being cooked nice and cupped along with that slight hot honey kick. The brussel sprouts were a great flavored green to have. The crab poutine fries were good but nothing to write home about. The vibe and atmosphere was intimate and felt like a nice dark but speakeasy type vibe but with the energy of a gastropub. The cocktails were also very well made. The staff was very nice and attentive. There is a wait if you don't have reservations so I recommend getting it ahead of time.

Seasonal burger with onions and mushrooms
Tolulope R.

Came here with a group of friends for lunch after hiking at Ganbrils state park. We didnt have reservations but was able to get seat outside. Our server was friendly and told us we could scan QR code to get the menu. I saw someone else eating a Smash burger and knew I wanted one. I also ordered a Pious pear cider which was nice and too sweet. The burger had all the toppings and was filling. The group shared an order of crab poutine which was delicious. We had a bit of food envy when we saw other tables with pizza. I would love to come back and try their pizza. Had a great experience and would recommend this to others.

Chicken and waffles hollandaise
Benjamin K.

The food was very good and creative. I had the chicken waffles hollandaise and my wife had breaded chicken and fries. Delicious! The building is an interesting old structure filled with quirky artwork. Service was friendly but a bit inattentive after we were seated.

Chicken Carmela's Cutlet
Liz E.

Cool vibe in downtown Frederick, Maryland. The night we went it was super busy. Had to wait for a table about 30 minutes, but we hung out at the bar and the drinks were really good. Would definitely suggest getting the crab poutine as an appetizer so tasty. I got the Carmella's cutlet as my main meal, very big couldn't finish it all also very good.

Ask the Community - White Rabbit Gastropub

Do they currently accept reservations?

No, but they put you on a call list and text you

Do they have TVs at one the bars to watch a game?

I don't think so.

I am on a keto friendly diet, does that pepperoni crust have no breading? I have never been here but I would make a trip if this is an option!! I miss pizza! :) is it?

I'm not sure it was keto but call them and ask. :)

Menu looks delicious but very " bready." Any gluten free options for the gluten-intolerant guests?

Omg, yes!! They have a lot of gluten free options. I had the cream of crab soup, totally gluten free and the only one I've found at a restaurant thus far. There are definitely meal options, too. Go eat there, you will not be disappointed!!!

Does white rabbit over space for private events?

It's a small business, and very receptive I'd say likely

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!

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

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.
