Of all of my journey through Maryland, this is absolutely one of the best places I have ever…read morevisited. Pat, the owner was working the bar with the staff and easily recommended the best local beer I had not tasted. ((My GF and I had tried 1812 and Penn but had not tried Lexington's Vanilla Stout. I was amazed.)) If you're in Garret county, or anywhere near the border to WV or PA, you're doing yourself a disservice by not visiting Oakland, MD and dropping by this spot. Atmosphere is chill, everyone is friendly and the atmosphere is non-judgmental. Support this local business, it's a waystation for local and traveler alike, judged by someone of the later who was there, December 19th, 2024.

They are directly connected (walkway inside) to Shoofly Java next door, a coffee shop. They have small tables & a selection of merch. There is also umbrella table sidewalk seating (unfortunately it was raining when we stopped by). Definitely worth it if you're looking for a craft beer and bite in Oakland, Md or a quick 15-20 min drive from Deep Creek Lake area.

They do have TV's with sports & a pool table. They have redone the outside & re-painted the inside...disappointed they took down all their funny signage inside...I guess to make it tidier & less "divey" but that was part of the charm. They also now have an IPAs on tap, so I'm guessing they're trying to draw more people in this way. The garlic parm wings were good, but not quite as crispy or good as prior visits. I always go here at least once when in Deep Creek. Their website is jgspub.com & you can see menu and call ahead to order. Or they are on Facebook. They have homemade desserts. We had elderberry cake (that was unique) & apple strudel.

We had a large party of 11 and were easily able to find a spot on a Saturday afternoon at the outside bar. There's tons of seating here from outdoor bar, patio (covered) seating, indoor bar, and indoor seating. They even have some chairs out on their lawn facing the lake. There's even a large play area for the kids. We had multiple drinks and apps. The seafood bloody was perfect- just ask for a side of horseradish to add in if like it super spicy. Another standout was the salty grapefruit crush! Holy moly! So good... subbed club soda for the sprite. Orange crush was also terrific. As for food, we did apps. Get the shrimp toast and the crab toast! Do not leave unless you have tried these things! Absolutely delicious and packed with seafood, we also ordered a side of the chips that they give with burgers etc. Everything that came by us looked amazing. The bread is like a like high and comes with various butters, the burgers looked massive, and the sandwiches were equally amazing. Again, we only did apps. This is a must visit if in the area. You won't be disappointed. Come if in your bathing suit (w/cover up of course), or at night in your elevated dinner clothes. This place is for both! Absolutely beautiful and just terrific food, drink, and super friendly service! Every single employee was a gem!!!

Honestly, Dutch's exceeded my expectations, as the fine dining options in the area are limited. I got the pork chop with apple crisp and it was delectable! Thick-cut and juicy, which are hard to find. Others at the table got the salmon and they liked it. You get bread, salad, and a side with the entrees, so come hungry! Our waiter was attentive and very professional. Look forward to the next visit.

Well we are glad I did, first the location is a little off the main road but up atop a small rise. Outside tables and inside greet you at this great little restaurant. We had Calamari appetizer that was lightly breaded and served with sweet chili dipping sauce very good. Then main courses included Crab cake sandwich NO filler most crab, fish and onion rings (yep), cod sandwich and seared ahi tuna (seasoned with old Bay and Blackened seasoning). All members throughly enjoyed dinner and would go back. So if you are looking for a seafood restaurant in DCL here you go. Sorry no pictures as we were really hungry and ate the food immediately.
