Fun atmosphere, cool vibe, outdoor seating was still cool even though it was crazy hot outside. You will wait, even on a weekday, but it's worth it. read more

The food was amazing as was our bartender Karina. We had the lettuce wraps which were quite frankly the best I ever had! Burger sliders were great as well as the crab dip. Huge lumps! read more

Had an amazing meal here tonight. Service was super friendly, lots of space inside, every dish was delicious. The protein add-ons were on the expensive side, but portions were very big and we left full and happy. Will definitely be back. read more

Can't say enough great things about this local gem! Every single item was beyond words delicious - we tried a variety of options and many didn't last long enough to grab a photo of. Our server was so kind and attentive - the location is beautifully situated and has plenty of indoor, outdoor, and covered seating. Fantastic ambiance. The crispy chicken skewers are award worthy But again, all of the food and beverages were phenomenal! Cannot wait to visit again! read more

I heard all good things about Pawn Run, and we got a chance to visit just for a craft cocktail before dinner reservations elsewhere to celebrate our anniversary. They have a really nice selection of cocktails, and they were properly mixed & interesting. I would've loved to stay & sample their small plates, but my husband wanted a bigger meal. Based on atmosphere, friendliness of staff & taste of the cocktails I will definitely return. They are off the beaten path of the main touristy area of Deep Creek, but with seeking out. They have outdoor seating with umbrellas for summer weather. read more

I have been to Pawn Run at least 5 times. I honestly thought I reviewed them already. My bad. Love this place! The staff is always friendly! Love music most times I have been there which is so nice! Small place but great vibes. Some highlights of my visits: The bartender last time made me a fantastic Negroni. The nachos are good but I usually swap out the meat for sweet potatoes. Highly recommend! Great place for a quick bite and a quality cocktail while you listen to some good music! read more

This place was incredible! We sat outside on their dog friendly patio on a beautiful night. We all had fantastic cocktails and food. Our servers were attentive, quick, and kind. read more

I was amazed by this place. We passed it on our way to our airbnb and circled back around for a happy hour dinner. We got the smokehouse nachos, the steak crostini, and the pear and prosciutto flatbread. The nachos were truly the best nachos I've ever had. It had a perfect amount of toppings, so that there was something on every chip. The crostinis were great with a generous portion of steak on each one. So happy we stumbled upon this place, the servers were so kind and helpful with suggestions for our meals! We sat outside with our dog and it was so peaceful! 10/10 would recommend. read more

Outstanding food and fabulous beer choices. The environment there is fantastic as well with a ton of history. Definitely coming back

Unique food items were fresh and delish! We ordered a variety of small dishes and shared everything- which was perfect because items come out when they come out, not altogether. So everything is hot and fresh. The soft pretzels were actually the best I've ever tasted! The small salad was sprinkled w goat cheese and granola- fabulous and big! We got the sweet potato quesadillas without the spicy chipotle sauce for my sensitive son, and the Brussels sprouts were fabulous! Also got an order of fries and sliders. Everything was delicious! And the waitress. Jennifer was super attentive and sweet. I left my prescription glasses there and as soon as I returned, she said "Don't worry! I've got them for you!" We will definitely be back! Thank you!! read more

Off the beaten path, plenty of parking, love the small plate menu. Had the fries, big thumbs up on the aioli! Soft pretzels awesome. Pork nachos a big hit. I was most surprised by the caprese chicken salad, strawberries seemed weird until they were wonderful on the taste test . Hubby not a fan until he tasted it. Huge hit. Shout out to Johnnie, so attentive, personable and friendly. Great stop, low key, loved it! read more

Fair warning ask for extra napkins, you're gonna need them after the multiple climaxes you'll have. One word, "meatballs" Seriously, you'll thank me later. read more

What a wonder surprise all the way from a great staff to well mixed drinks. Food are like Tapas and my table several from Steak Crostinis to pulled pork nachos and Fire Cracker Chicken skewers. The Roasted Olives were a bit much but still an interesting offer. The interior was bright and welcoming and busy for a Monday night! This place is off the beaten track but worth the find. Now that we have found this place it is high on the list of places to recomm read more

Great food! Wonderful service! I had the brussels sprouts as a starter and they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Highly recommend.

Food was fantastic, service was good. Timely and well presented when served . Nice setting as well

Such a cute and inviting place! The service was wonderful. The food was incredible. We ordered the pretzels, firecracker shrimp, brussel sprouts, and tacos and I'm still thinking about how delicious it all was. I wish I could give more than five stars! read more

We were in town during the off season looking for a low key dinner and came across the bar. The menu is smaller, but don't let it fool you. Everything is intentional and done well. Our server was great as answering questions. I had an All Nighter cocktail, an "extra" version of an espresso martini, and just as yummy. We shared an order of fries and the garlic herb mayo should basically be on everything. My husband enjoyed his burger sliders. And I had the Steak Crostini, which I literally have not stopped thinking about or describing to people. Can't recommend this spot enough! read more

I hope this place can continue to grow and I will know next time to plan ahead should there be a subsidiary event at PR. If there is music, that's fine but I would not have intentions of going back there for the purpose of food first. I view this establishment as a place where you can be entertained and then at some point order food to snack on. Unfortunate though because the food is good. I can imagine this place would be good for private events or parties or live music and all which I am sure they already do well with. The place is cute, quaint and clean and on target for their desired audience. Perhaps some easy fixes would make it more attainable for folks who are looking for a different place to dine. I would say a hostess is a MUST. I would say heavier staff on music nights is the second must. The third must is the food needs to come out either paced or all together. Especially if there are a lot of shareable plates. To get the nachos last, was kind of almost silly. Again, I think there is something here but this is what yelp is for. read more

Great food, great setting, good music, and employees are attentive and nice to chat with

Really great place away from most of the other restaurants. Food was excellent, service was great, and the vibe was cool and laid back

Sat at the bar tonight. I was the only one at the bar and it took 20 minutes until someone recognized me. I ordered food and after waiting 45 minutes, I got up and left. I was told 5 minutes and then nothing came out. Horrible service! I have no idea if the food is good because I never got mine. Ended up leaving. Not coming back here again. read more

Wow! What a hidden gem. This place was recommended to us by super nice young woman working at the local ice cream shop who happen to also work at the Pawn Run . The food, the atmosphere, and the service were incredible! Bryn and Avery made sure we were taken care of and were such a delight! Couldn't have asked for a better experience on our last night in Deep Creek! read more

The cutest local spot! A little bit off the beat and path in the best way. Both cocktails and food are delicious and I highly recommend if you're in DCL for a trip! They have live music on set dates too which is an added bonus! read more

Absolute hidden gem. It is a must if you are in deep creek lake area. Great variety of food with excellent small plates for sharing. Been there 4 times and everything we've had has been outstanding. The cocktails are amazing. The service is outstanding and extremely welcoming. Cute and comfortable environment. Plenty of parking and clean restrooms read more

First time visiting this place, and I absolutely loved it. One thing to note is that food comes out as it's made, so in case you come with a big group don't expect everyone's order to come out at the same time. The food was delicious, we had the Sliders and Street Tacos (steak). The tacos were my favorite; the steak was tender and full of flavor. I can't wait to come back and try other food items . The service was excellent. They are also pet friendly which is a big plus. read more

I really don't want to write this, because it means people may find out about this gem. It's far enough off the Deep Creek path that I don't think a lot of tourists know about it (we didn't) and those that do probably want to keep it that way. It's definitely a place where the well-off local crowd goes, if the quality of the cars in the parking lot is any indication. The kitchen is limited, but the attention to detail on the quality and flavor is great. Between us, we had the tacos (chicken and steak; all good but chicken better) and the sliders (great! Get 4!); The bar is also creative - I know how this sounds but get the daiquiri. It's a real one, not a slurpee. Service is ... very busy. They have live music so it can be loud in the bar area; the outside patio is pet friendly but also loud when the traffic rolls by. read more

Food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. Little out of the way place fills up quickly when they open so get there early.

Arrived at about 7:45 and sat down at an inside table. We were given menus almost immediately, from there we watched as servers walked by 10-15 times without stopping or taking notice of us. I made eye contact with the person who gave us our menus and even waved for her attention with no luck. After 20 minutes we got up and left. read more
