Hootch and Banter

12 Best Places to Eat and Drink in Frederick, Maryland | Eater DC

"You can’t make a reservation at Hootch and Banter, but that doesn’t stop the crowds from pouring in. This fabulous modern American concept in the heart of downtown Frederick is a fan favorite for cocktails, brunch, and dinner (though you definitely shouldn’t skimp on dessert). Not only are the offerings delightful, but so too are the names. Get the Dirty Steak & Cheese if you’re at all a Philly cheesesteak fan, or the Every Day I’m Brussel’n — their take on Brussels sprouts served with bacon, cinnamon pecans, and a fabulous spicy-sweet honey sauce." - Lulu Chang
