Im from PG County on a family getaway to Deep Creek. I was originally going to go to Mountain State Brewery. I changed my mind and decided to go to this place that had a particular person attached to it. I met Cathy and OMG. She runs this place perfectly. Come here if your in Deep Creek. She and the restaurant will satisfy your food and atmospheric needs.

Wings were very good, steak quesadilla also very good. Side salad a very nice large size. Buf chicken app was tasty but definitely could have been better melted and heated. Great drink prices on the Tue our group was there.

We enjoy this place…seems like it’s for the locals, small place. Has indoor & outdoor seating and seating around a big bar. Owners are very friendly. We go here every time we come to Deep Creek. Good food and reasonably priced. Nice size portions. If you like sports…they have tv’s.

Bar tender was very friendly and so knowledgeable about the area we were staying in. This place would be considered as where the regulars would go to that live in the area. Bartender just made you feel like you were right at home.

Service was also great!!! So happy we decided to try someplace new and can’t wait to stop back the next time we are in the area.
