Bushwaller's

GREAT fish n chips; awesome service and I only wish it was located next door to me. If there would've been some Irish accents, I'd have believed I was across the pond. Wonderful ambiance!!

Bushwaller's has been a local Irish go-to since 1981. A dark and divey yet welcoming pub. Came in with a large group after a wedding ceremony. Since we had time before heading to the reception, we decided to grab an Irish beer! The list of Irish creations was extensive and we all tried a different pour. YUM. Service was fast and friendly. Notes:Mondays: $4.00 off Bush and Black Bean Burgers. Trivia starts at 7:00 PM. Late night happy hour is 10:00 PM - Close.Tuesdays: Karaoke night at 9:00 PM.Their website has a St. Paddy's Day count down! Live music playing Thursday through Sundays. Limited outdoor seating.

Visited Wednesday evening and it was pretty busy already. The overall atmosphere was a bit like a college bar (which is a little odd I feel like in downtown Frederick), with lots of young/old crowd mixed. The bartender checked our ID super throughly, even let us know one of our IDs is expiring soon and she'll not be able to serve us once it's expired. I think it's a good thing to be safe but I also felt it's a little too much. I guess something happened many times before?! The food was not very impressive, the wing was cold and too hard, maybe too much overcooked or previously frozen. We got chipotle bbq sauce and the sauce was good. They offered Wednesday wing special, which is a wing for a dollar but I won't go back for their wings. Also we got scotch eggs--very disappointing. I'm not sure if this is original scotch eggs because I haven't tried much before, but the meat coating was super stiff and thin, the egg was smelly. The spice bag with chicken was good, it wasn't crispy or crunchy at all, everything was mushy but the flavor was good and i like the concept of the food--it was fun. Overall, I won't go back for food, but I will go back for the bar. They have a great selection of draft beer taps and cool Irish cocktails and drinks.

Best place to eat when in a hurry. The atmosphere and furniture were really nice. The food came out quick after sitting down for maybe 4 minutes and ordering thereafter. We ordered two Shrimp Po Boys with drinks. The prices are reasonable with big portions. Everything was fresh and hot. The clientele seemed to be enjoying themselves. Definitely a lot character with this place. The waiter was very courteous and caring. I had some friends join us later on as well and he seemed more than up for the task. Thanks for the awesome experience!

We came for refreshments as one does in an Irish Pub. My friends got a couple of drafts & seemed happy with their brews. As I don't drink beer I can't comment on the brewskis but I can tell you it's a Irish pub without trying to be an Irish pub if that makes any sense. No corporate fingerprints here.The menu looks tantalising so I'll be back - possibly for trivia night & get a Shepard's pie & a pint.Appears to be a fave of the locals which is always a great sign & a place I like to visit. The bartenders were very friendly without being overly attentive... Very worth a pop in!!

First off, starting in a new area, it is always fun to find places with a wide variety of food but also interesting choices.Bushwallers has that!I tried their Rueben appetizer (basically Rueben egg rolls), which was amazing. The fries were that nice mix of potato skin and quite good! I highly recommend the Rueben Egg Rolls and the Bacon Cheese fries. They are greasy but simply amazing.The chicken pot pie was not as well received ergo only a 4 star rating!We didn't try their desserts; that will have to be for next time. Overall the choices on the menu were great.Overall the food was good, and they make the places we are going to again!

I'm a big fan of Irish cuisine and Irish pubs, and this one very much underwhelmed. The menu is fine, and the beer selection is also good, but the service we got was incredibly sub-par and the place was dirty. Case in point- I saw a cockroach on the floor by our table while we were there.

Yesterday was our first, but not last, visit to Bushwallers. We met up with some family in Frederick and chose Bushwallers as our lunch spot, and we're glad we did! It has a friendly and relaxed cozy atmosphere on a cold January day! Our server provided exceptional service and was polite and friendly. Scotch Eggs and Ruben Egg rolls were ordered for appetizers and they were very good.We each ordered different meals. The four meals we ordered were, Shepherd's Pie served in a sourdough bread bowl, Bangers and Mashed, Fish and Chips, and Corned Beef and Cabbage. No one was disappointed with our food! The generous portions were fresh, hot, and tasty! We WILL return the next time we are in Frederick!

Today, and approximately three months ago I used Uber Eats to order one of my absolute favorite dishes: Fish 'n Chips. The reason for the three months in between was the poor quality of food received, instead of hand cut fries they provided cold, limpy regular fries. The fish, instead of golden was dark, dark, dark. The shell was so hard it was difficult to cut through. I ended up throwing it all out. I contacted the store and the person I spoke to said unless I could provide a picture as to my testimony there was nothing they could do. So I swore to not order for a long period of time.Today, another major disappointment. Yes, they delivered the hand cut fries as orderded.....kind of. I assure you dear reader had I an empty can and "squeezed" the fries I could have easily have gotten a half cup of oil from them, not to mention how under cooked they were. And the fish, the fish had pools of grease on the top. I pressed down with the flat side of my fork's tine's and grease came up from the fish. And while HALF the fish was "light brown" the other was basically dark and again difficult to cut. My first bite instead of the delicious blending of fish/coating my taste buds were overwhelmed by....grease. And yes, I again threw everything out.Instead of a picture, I offer Bushwaller's this review.And before Bushwaller's blames Uber Eats on this one, not that they can't be blamed from time to time, I intentionally watched the driver on their journey online. They went from store to front door in just over five minutes.I doubt I will order again in three months, more likely never. Bushwaller's is obviously not interested in quality and/or proper training otherwise their staff on a Wednesday would have caught and corrected this greasy oversight/tromlui.

Fish and chips are top of line. Carter was our server and he was incredible! Very personable and attentive. 10/10 will be back!
