Hootch And Banter - Frederick

My wife loves this place, I think it's pretty good not great. Burger was on point, wife's scallops were on an amazing risotto but the protein was stringy and fishy and the glaze was burnt onto the surface. The kid had the child's steak and that was undercooked but a great value plate for $15. Wife mentioned they have a great cheese and charcuterie plate, but it's $35. Venue is small, not super relaxing, staff were either angelic or ambivalent. Wine kitchen still does it better.

I give the food 9/10. Friendly waitstaff. Dude with the Mohawk is solid.

One of the very BEST places to go in Frederick! Such a unique place with outstanding cocktails and amazing food. The atmosphere of Hootch is truly one of my favorite of all time though. I've traveled all over the country and have never been to a place quite like hootch! Can not recommend it enough, they will treat you like family!

What a great place! Amazing cocktails and exceptional food!

We rented out the second floor lounge for our rehearsal dinner, and it was the perfect space. We had 32 guests total, and it was a great size. The atmosphere is cool and attractive. The staff were AMAZING and so attentive to us. Several of our guests have mentioned how much they loved our rehearsal dinner. The food was delicious with a good variety of options. Great restaurant in general and wonderful event space!!
