Gladchuk Bros Restaurant

First time visiting and I was very impressed. The food was very delicious and the staff is very friendly and attentive. I loved the atmosphere in the restaurant, it felt very cozy. I highly recommend the crab soup and margarita pizza! I’m looking forward to coming back very soon!

We were greeted and treated like family. German/Polish decor and some menu items. Bartender had some nice specialties. Vermont Chiken and holiday chicken eye both outstanding. Homey and delicious.

What a hidden gem, I've lived in frederick over 25 years. Stopped by with my wife on valentines day our anniversary, Steve the host was great, Brent our server was on it all night, we had Ceasars salad, stuffed shrimp and broiled rockfish, yall hit it out of the park, great job we will be back

Solid home cooking. Had the crab cakes and they were great. Good selection and dessert was great!

Went here with a couple family members on a Saturday evening. Olivia who took care of us was great. Bread was good. We all really liked our dishes, I had the baked stuffed shrimp. Came with scalloped potatoes and mixed vegetables. Not regularly a big veggie person but did enjoy these more than I thought. I believe it may have been the bartender who said goodbye on our way out; the lime frozen margarita was delicious.

The way it's set up in there it can be kind of loud. I have auditory issues so mentioning this for select others to be aware of and prepared.

First time, had a wonderful experience. George was phenomenal. All our food was delicious. From the Peirogi to the pot roast and Ruben. Quaint atmosphere, friendly
Owner and bartender as well. Home cooked meals and amazing desserts

They let us pick our own menu for our rehearsal dinner and then printed them to congratulate us. It was the perfect evening.

We ate at this restaurant for the first time last Saturday evening. It was a great place for comfort food with a European flair. I had the roast turkey dinner and my husband had the rockfish special, but there was meatloaf and schnitzel on the menu as well. His martini was smooth and muscular, and I enjoyed a Lambrusco with my meal (never served at most restaurants). The spiced apple cake was a true German original, and the portions were impossibly large!

The host/owner greeted us on the way in, stopped by to check on our comfort during the meal, and shook hands on the way out. You won’t get that at your local chain restaurant, for sure.

It was a nice quiet outing, unfussy, unhurried and one we will definitely do again.

When looking at the style of the restaurant, you may think that Gladchuk’s is an antiquated place that isn’t able to keep up with the new pacing of Frederick’s food scene, however, you’d be wrong. Gladchuk’s is a staple in the food scene in Frederick. If you’re looking for a place that doesn’t try and be something they aren’t, serving traditional favorites at an extremely high level, this is your place. The mothers day special is steps above anywhere else in the area for the service, food, and experience. The waiter was truly the best I’ve had. He was fast but gave space and diligent in making sure our party had what they needed. The food was also phenomenal as well. If you get any of the seafood you can’t go wrong. I ordered the stuffed shrimp with crab and it was outstanding. The dish was served with duchess potatoes and some steamed vegetables to round out the meal. We look forward to coming back soon.

So Valentines week is also my wife's birthday and our wedding anniversary. To be blunt, our dining experiences in Frederick's fancy, trendy restaurants over the past 7 years (pre, during, and post Pandemic) have been mostly lackluster. In my opinion it's due to overreaching and establishments duping customers into believing that inflated prices equal a premium experience.

ANYWAYS, my wife picked Gladchuk Bros. for her birthday dinner this year. All the lifetime Frederick locals I talked to in the kitchen I work in rolled their eyes and kinda insinuated it mostly catered to a much older clientele, but nobody had been there recently.

My wife and I made a reservation for 6:00 and got there and got seated early. We ordered a spiced pear vodka drink. Appetizers were jumbo lump crab stuffed mushrooms, oysters Rockefeller, and the roasted beet salad. For entrees we ordered the crab stuffed cod for her and sautéed chicken livers for me. I didn't see options for sides and both of our entrees came with a perfectly steamed fresh vegetable blend and homemade scalloped potatoes. It was hands down the best dining experience we have had in Frederick. In fact, we had a hard time remembering a better experience anywhere.

First, the food was all simple ingredients and lightly seasoned but all cooked perfectly. I cook professionally and can't help myself by making notes of how a dish can be improved next time (especially when it's something I've made). I had no notes on ANYTHING we ordered. It was all perfect. In fact, I got visible goosebumps when I tried my chicken livers. I like chicken livers just fine, but I never thought they would be part of such a great dining experience. The food was perfect.

Our server was attentive without being invasive. He was polite and knew what he was doing. We always try our best to be low maintenance, so we didn't have a bunch of questions. Again, perfect.

As far as the atmosphere, I can't remember the last time I ate somewhere this COZY. A hearth in the entryway. Comfortable lighting without being dark. Bookshelves, fun artwork, and classy vibes leaning far more towards laid back than stuffy. It made us both nostalgic for nice family dinners out from our childhoods. Makes sense since Gladchuk Bros. has been here since 1988.

To say this is a strong reccomend is an understatement. The price of everything matches up with quality and comfort. It's a no-nonsense elevated dining experience that I feel people need to revisit.

PS - We were there on a Tuesday night at 6:00. They were filling up by the time we left. Make a reservation!

Whenever I am visiting Frederick, I love to go to Gladchucks for lunch. The food is always perfect and the atmosphere comfortable and relaxing.

Overall this restaurant offers tasty food, for me a great place for chilly days. The atmosphere is cozy (fireplace was an added bonus). Our waitress was personable and attentive. I’ll go back the next time I’m in the Frederick area.

A family favorite for the past few years. A must for celebrating special occasions. Love the country farmhouse decor. The staff are always very friendly and attentive. Menu is regularly updated with fresh selections including international features such as German, French and Italian entrees. My father-in-law loves the fried oysters! I enjoyed a French crab cake. A jumbo crab cake over potato croquet. It was delicious. Save room for fresh desserts such as the Tiramisu. A true treasure in Frederick County.

Gladchuk Bros is one of those gems that you find very rarely, and I was not disappointed that I chose this restuarant over a few others for a Lunch sit down. It is a family owned and operated business and it's on the top of my list of reccomendations for a quiet, clean, and well run sit down restuarant for taking either a friend or the whole family to lunch or dinner in Frederick, MD.

The perogies...oh the perogies. Homemade heaven. Brilliant menu with German, Seafood, and local dishes.
Add: The baked stuffed shrimp is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Magical

Fabulous Valentines Day dinner at Gladchuk. Roast duck and filet mignon by the fireplace...perfect...another nice touch was the ice sculptures, flowers and balloons. Very enjoyable.

Loved it. A gem of a place. Great mix of ambience, quality, and service. These people love what they do and it shows. How else could it be still thriving since 1988???

Gladchucks has been a Frederick Staple for Years! Always good. Great service. Very clean. Quiet and quaint dining. It is a sit down restaurant. Very small bar area but nice. Desserts are delicious and the comfort foods are amazing!! Delicious!

I just got a gift card for Christmas and although I have been here multiple times and like the food it seemed to my lovely wife and I that the food and attention to each plate served is even better than before. The stuffed salmon and beef Wellington were marvelous.very busy place but staff is attentive and professional. Thanks

My family's favorite Frederick restaurant. Places like this cannot be easily found; please do not change it; it reminds me of better times in America.
