Showroom

Showroom is a restaurant in Frederick, MD, serving a modern American casual menu designed by Bryan Voltaggio, a James Beard Foundation Award nominee and a three-season finalist on Top Chef. The kitchen focuses on a modern take on mid-Atlantic comfort food, with signature dishes including fried chicken, duck fat fries, meatloaf, and chicken pot pie fritters. Brunch is offered seven days a week and features chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy, steak and eggs, Nashville chicken sandwich, and smoked salmon served with a New York bagel from Orwashers. Dinner service, house cocktails, and a Wednesday-through-Friday happy hour round out the offering, and the restaurant holds a 4.40 rating based on customer reviews.

Inspired by a former car dealership on Frederick's industrial East side, the founders created an open, airy space with a sweeping bar, an open kitchen, and picture windows. The room is noted for its lofty ceiling and good air circulation, with tables well spaced for comfortable dining. Showroom was the recipient of the top honor in Open Table's Diners Choice Awards in two categories, Contemporary American and Great for Brunch. Hours run from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm Monday through Sunday, with brunch served until 4:00 pm and dinner extending later on Friday and Saturday.

The restaurant sits on N East Street in Frederick, a short walk from the Frederick YMCA and Little League Park, both about 0.2 miles away. East 7th Street and a bike park are also nearby. Guests have singled out the deviled eggs, onion soup, hanger steak, watermelon gazpacho, and biscuits as standouts, and have returned for the burger, fried chicken, and fish and chips.

Showroom's two Open Table Diners Choice Awards in Contemporary American and Great for Brunch place it among the most decorated brunch rooms in Frederick.
