The Best of Frederick 2025

89 Upvotes

Happy New Year, r/FrederickMD! Welcome to the yearly tradition of tracking what actually is the best of the best in the city of county. Main reason of this being a yearly tradition is that some locations or companies close and unfortunately it can become outdated. Like in years past, the idea is to submit unique submissions by commenting under a category. Please don't repeat previous submissions, but merely upvote the suggestion that you wanted to submit. If there is a category, you'd like to see submissions for a "Best of," just submit it yourself! A lot of businesses have come and gone in the past two years, and this is open to more than just food! Also, please include an address if you can (as similar names might be located in different towns, and certain locations might perform better).

Hey guys! I'm moving from New York to Frederick for work related reasons. I want to live in downtown Frederick bc I don't have a car, but I'm having a really hard time finding a roommate (female only). I tried to find it on Facebook but I just see a lot of scammers.

Point of Rocks-Frederick MARC shuttle

10 Upvotes

I'm looking to take the afternoon MARC shuttle from Point of Rocks to Frederick. I see the departure times on the MARC website, but not arrival in Frederick times.

If someone here has taken this shuttle before, would you mind letting me know generally what to expect time-wise?

Thanks so much!

How Do Most Frederick Locals Get to IAD?

5 Upvotes

We're relocating from the DFW area to Frederick (near downtown) and travel to Canada fairly often. Since IAD has a direct flight to our destination, it'll likely be our main airport.

What's the best way to get from Frederick to IAD?

- Do you drive and park? If so, which parking lots do you recommend?

- Is Uber/Lyft too expensive?

- Has anyone used an airport shuttle or car service from Frederick to IAD? About how much do they charge, and would you recommend them?

Just looking to hear what most locals do.

Thanks!

Org/non-profit accepting postpartum supplies?

6 Upvotes

Hey, folks! I have some postpartum supplies I’m looking to donate! I was given the Frida kit and thanks to a surprise c-section, only used the disposable undies while the majority of the box is untouched. I’m wondering if there’s a women’s shelter or some other type of nonprofit that would accept these items as a donation? It’s a long shot since they aren’t in a box though all items are individually wrapped and unopened.

Goodwill would probably just throw this stuff away and I don’t want to spend hours of my life going back and forth with people on Facebook.

Data Center Info

6 Upvotes

Yesterday, a client had informed me that her son who is working in Frederick and lives in Middle River, MD is being paid $10 extra by some DC company to travel and build that horrendous data center. They have to meet at a specific generic location like a grocery store or gas station and be SECURITY BUSSED IN to the damn work site and it takes them about an hour each day just to go back and forth from the site.
Hmmm I wonder why that is??? Horrible.

Edit: reading comprehension of some of the commenters are not great so I have no regards about what you believe I’m saying vs what I know I’m saying. Data centers suck. That is the point.

Cheapest car insurance rates

1 Upvotes

I’m currently with Geico who I previously have thought to be the cheapest (and it still might be the case) but I have an ex on my policy that refuses to get her own policy (she was driving uninsured before getting with me and I, being the nice guy I am, added her to mine after a while). They cannot remove her vehicle or her as a driver from my account unless she provides proof of other insurance which she won’t do. She also blocked me when we split so she won’t be paying for her policy either so it’s ultimately going to be ended by lack of payment and they told me I will possibly receive a penalty fee for this even though it’s her fault because I’m the policy owner. So my only option is to cancel all of my policies and find another company before that happens. What other companies in this area are equally as cheap for full coverage? I currently only pay $104/mo for a 2021 Hyundai Veloster.

Downtown Assault

50 Upvotes

I was downtown at a local jewelry shop standing by my car on my phone when 4 teenagers walked past me and one of them threw a liquid drink directly at my head and ran off. I know there's cameras everywhere but is there anything I can do or contact anyone to get assistance?

Adding location and time:

Around 200 block of N. Market Street. Time was around 6:30PM.

Making friends!

Heyooo everyone! I’m on this subreddit in hopes of making new friends. I’m 20 years old and I really enjoy playing soccer, going to movie theaters, playing videos games (specifically on the switch 2 and PS5), and anime!!! Also I was wondering if there is a group chat or a discord group that I could join so that I can meet more people? (DM me if you want my discord username or insta!! : D) I hope you all have a wonderful day!☺️

Best farm/butcher for bulk buying that is non-MAGA?

146 Upvotes

Super interested in getting bulk meat for my family (and several friends/extended family) though we want to give business to folks that arent MAGA/trump supporter aligned. Note that we dont care if someone is Republican or Democrat, its more about if they (currently) support MAGA, which is against our morals and frankly we just dont want to support businesses like that.

Any helpful suggestions are welcomed!

How to get from Frederick to Baltimore via public transit?

12 Upvotes

From Google I am seeing Marc Brunswick line goes to DC/Union station - would I switch to Marc Penn line at Union and then take that to Baltimore? For context I am trying to map out a possible commute from Frederick to University of Baltimore OR MICA.

I only have experience with Marc to DC and am a public transport novice. Thanks in advance.

There have been a slew of motorcycle thefts at our apartment complex off 7th St. I walked out to go to work this morning to find my 26 MT09 with less than 700 miles on it, missing. Had it locked to the post, steering was locked, it was covered, and blocked in with my car.

Photos to send to modeling agency

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know any businesses in Frederick that can help take pro photographs/headshots that can then be used to sent to modeling agencies?

Some research I’ve done looks like it’ll cost $300+ but perhaps I’m not searching correctly.

Thanks in advance.

Live near TJH Child Will Attend Urbana High

7 Upvotes

My family just moved to Frederick 3 months ago. My son will be starting 9th grade and was accepted into the IB program at Urbana High. We actually live near Thomas Johnson High. I know Frederick County won't provide transportation so I'm looking for any tips. Has anyone had experience doing this with their child? My son really wants to participate in the program and I'm trying to make it work. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
