Popular Frederick, Maryland Instagram account @TheFrederickFeed has narrowed down some of the best steaks you can find in Frederick, and the list highlights a mix of classic steakhouses, chef-driven restaurants, and value standouts across the city. With so many of our readers living in or frequently visiting our neighbor to the north, we decided to put together a quick write-up inspired by their list.

Calling it no easy task, The Frederick Feed noted that “the stakes were high and the decisions were well-done,” with Frederick “bringing the heat” when it came to high-quality steaks. After sorting through countless contenders, they landed on five standouts that delivered on flavor, execution, and overall experience.

Topping the list is Wye Oak Tavern, where a 10-ounce filet mignon priced at $68 earned top honors. The Frederick Feed described the steak as expertly cut, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and all about the meat itself. “No frills, just meat,” they wrote, calling it a show-stopping steak and declaring that the hype is real.

Coming in second is The Wine Kitchen, which offers a 7-ounce Roseda Farms filet mignon for $54. Locally sourced and butchered in-house, the steak stood out for its freshness and rich flavor. The Frederick Feed called it “dangerously addictive” and said it was an immediate yes, highlighting the restaurant’s commitment to quality ingredients.

Third on the list is Hootch & Banter, where diners can find the “Filet Me Down,” an 8-ounce filet priced at $50. This pan-seared steak is topped with lobster béarnaise and served alongside Yukon gold mashed potatoes and sautéed asparagus. While it may come with more accompaniments than others on the list, The Frederick Feed said the filet itself was buttery soft and juicy from end to end, noting that it’s a special that won’t be around forever.

Fourth is The Tasting Room, a Downtown Frederick favorite known for its refined menu and upscale atmosphere. The Frederick Feed highlighted the restaurant’s 10-ounce filet mignon, priced at $68, praising it for being perfectly seared, umami-packed, and consistently melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Rounding out the top five is Madrones American Grill, which earned praise for offering a 7-ounce filet mignon at $38. Wood-fired and cooked to perfection, the steak was described as bold, beef-forward, and beautifully balanced, making it one of the best values on the list.

Lucky Strike is closing its location at Westfield Montgomery Mall, with its final day of operation set for Sunday, January 4, according to a representative who confirmed the upcoming closure to The MoCoShow on Friday evening.

The entertainment venue first opened at the mall in March 2017, offering bowling, arcade games, food, and drinks as part of Montgomery Mall’s push to expand experiential attractions. The representative shared that the closure is due to the lease expiring, and that it will not be renewed.

The Montgomery Mall closure comes during a period of broader change for the company. In 2024, Bowlero Corporation announced a rebrand to Lucky Strike Entertainment, which included a change to the company’s legal name and a switch of its stock ticker symbol from NYSE: BOWL to NYSE: LUCK, marking a new chapter for the brand.

Locally, the first of those rebrands launched at Lucky Strike Rockville, located at 15720 Shady Grove Rd. in Gaithersburg. Other Lucky Strike locations remain open in Montgomery County, including Lucky Strike Gaithersburg at 1101 Clopper Rd. in Gaithersburg and Lucky Strike Bethesda at 5353 Westbard Ave. in Bethesda.
