Our Story

Same Kitchen.


Same Heart.

Same food you've loved since the beginning.

Southern-inspired comfort food and warm hospitality in the heart of East Frederick.

We think the building traded up.

Our Roots

A historic mid-century showroom, reimagined for modern dining

The building at 882 N. East Street has a unique industrial history that directly inspired the restaurant's current identity. Built in the 1960s, the space originally operated as an actual car dealership showroom on Frederick's industrial East side.


When celebrity chef and Frederick native Bryan Voltaggio first took over the space in 2012, he opened Family Meal, an upscale take on classic Southern comfort food.


As the restaurant evolved, the team decided to lean fully into the building's architectural roots.

1960s

Built as a showroom

The space opens as a car dealership showroom on Frederick's industrial East side, soaring ceilings, glass picture windows, cars on display.

2012

Family Meal arrives

Frederick native and Top Chef finalist Bryan Voltaggio took over the space and opened Family Meal, an upscale take on classic Southern comfort food.

Today

CARRIED FORWARD AS SHOWROOM

A direct nod to its automotive past, the floor where cars were once shown is now a modern dining room and bustling open kitchen.

Familiar classics. Same sharp space.


The space never needed to change - the soaring ceilings, glass picture windows, and open floor plan

were right from day one. What's evolved is the name and the menu's confidence, carrying the same

food and spirit forward as Showroom.

The Chef

"We set out to create what we thought could be the best fried chicken in the Mid-Atlantic… That is the signature dish for Family Meal, without a doubt. We're really proud of that."

-Bryan Voltaggio, Eater DC, 2013


Frederick native. Top Chef finalist. Multiple-time James Beard Award nominee - he built Family Meal, and later Showroom, around the food he grew up on in his hometown.

tripadvisor review


“The fried chicken is the best to be found north of the Mason-Dixon Line,

I believe. I started with the fried chicken and never looked beyond.”

“Every time we come we have great food, drinks and service. They make incredible drinks and cocktails, and the food is elevated and hearty. If you are looking for a great brunch spot, this is a must try!”

“Served in one of the most charming vessels east of the Mississippi - a large, golden bowl shaped like a chicken. Great American supper food like fried chicken, pork chops and meatloaf.”

“Why We Love Showroom Frederick So Much,” - praises the fried chicken with cheddar chive biscuits, the meatloaf, mushroom risotto, Nashville hot chicken sandwich, salmon, steak frites, and short ribs.”

"Showroom is reliable and enjoyable after all these years. The fried chicken remains a star here as well as the duck fat fries and breakfast potatoes which have a perfect crispiness to them. Whether brunch or dinner everything satisfies. They excel at both sweet dishes like the blueberry compote pancakes to savory such as the french omelettes or the in between like the excellent chicken and waffles. Cocktails are excellent as well. Showroom remains an outstanding dining experience after all these years."

"Every time we have come we have had great food, drinks and service. Weekends are extremely busy, so make a reservation. During the week you can get a table and enjoy a casual meal, and drinks while chatting. They make incredible drinks, and cocktails. The food is elevated and hearty. If you are looking for a great brunch spot, this is a must try!!"

"I have never had a bad experience here. We drive 45 minutes from our home to eat at The Showroom whenever we can. As a matter of fact, I am going back in a month to celebrate my birthday lunch consisting of THE BEST fried chicken in Maryland."

"I can't say enough about The Showroom. My wife and I had an early dinner there and the meal was outstanding... We split the Roasted Beets and Orange Salad as well as an order of Cheddar Chive Biscuits to start... For the main course I enjoyed the Mushroom Risotto with added salmon and what a combination. The salmon skin was like seafood bacon and added a nice saltiness to the risotto... My wife had the Family Meal Fried Chicken and the hint of Old Bay in the coating was awesome and gave a nice nod to Maryland!"

"I have a client in Frederick, MD and travel there from Washington, D.C. often. My favorite meetings are at Showroom. The reason is simple: they have great food. Kinda key for a restaurant, and Showroom has really good food. Whenever I have a meeting with this client and we don't go to Showroom, I am always disappointed. I love their Steak and Eggs. Took my daughter to one meeting, she loved the restaurant, loved the food — she was not so big on my meeting though."

"My friend wanted to go out on a weeknight for a good salad in Frederick. I couldn't think of anything (!), but we lucked out by ending up at Showroom. I think of Showroom as an upscale/fresh, homecooked meal spot with a diner vibe... We both chose salmon on different salads and were really happy! I think I'm right in saying Showroom pan fries the salmon skin down so it becomes nice and crispy, then bakes it to finish. So it wasn't the grilled, overspiced, and overdone salmon served at most restaurants, even good ones... I hope to go back more often."
