As with any new business, there was one minor hiccup, details unimportant. What was important was the professional and speedy way it was handled. The wait staff and the Chef could not have been more responsive and determined to meet their own high standards. We loved the food and outdoor setting, but most of all, the attitude of everyone on its staff. Look forward to future visits. Kathleen O'Reilly -- read more

We had seen several adds for this place online. When we got there we were surprised that it was attached to a conference center. We decided to go anyway and it was a great decision. The smash burgers were great but the good choice was when we subbed the fries for the crispy Brussels. The bartender was pleasant and attentive. It has a local sport theme on the walls. Overall it was a good experience that we will repeat. read more

We really enjoyed our visit to Rumsey Tavern. It is located in the old hotel, which is being converted to apartments....a little odd entering and walking down a long hall. Once inside its bright, clean and spacious. Service is great, nice menu options, good portion sizes. I didnt love the crabcakes but they were decent. My husband had the primerib which was cooked nicely. We will stop in again My rating rationale +1 Service +.5 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value read more

Rumsey Tavern is a solid choice if you're spending time around Shepherdstown and want a reliable place with a relaxed, comfortable vibe. The menu focuses on classic American bar food -- burgers, wings, and familiar favorites -- and everything we had was well prepared and satisfying. It's not trying to be flashy, just consistently good. What really sets this place apart is the service. Grant, the manager, deserves major credit for being attentive, professional, and clearly invested in making sure guests have a great experience. That kind of hands-on management shows and elevates the entire visit. Whether you're exploring the area for the first time or just looking for an easy, no-stress spot to grab a meal, Rumsey Tavern is a dependable option. Good food, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere earn this place a solid four stars. read more

This place is always good. There isn't anything on the menu I haven't absolutely loved, the food is all exceptional. The owner is amazing and Grant and Travis are very attentive servers and friendly, which makes our experience so pleasant and welcoming. One of the best spots in Shepardstown for sure! read more

Quick service, helpful answering the phone to confirm a few details as we were traveling through from outside the area. The food looked good and had enough range to satisfy. Beer selection was ok, most will be happy but I'm a bit picky on niche beers to tout it. Wing night was popular enough to have sold out and that speaks well; I'd like to try the wings in future. Nice pub like setting and another World Cup viewing stop. read more

This place is so cozy & welcoming. The outside seating is such a great spot to relax and enjoy your food too. Their burgers and fries are probably one of the best I've had. The crab cakes had little to no filler, perfect portion and were absolutely amazing. The staff is very friendly and ensure every customer has a good experience, the cooks can accommodate gluten free, vegan, or any changes to food/drinks. The cooks and bartenders for sure know what they're doing. I've been two times now and both times were perfect, totally forgot to get pictures of the last burgers sadly but they were delicious. Even my picky partner loves going which says a lot !! read more

Meal was great, service was fantastic! Made everyone feel very welcome. You don't have a waiter- you have a team focused on excellent customer service! Kudos to the mangers training them. Brought my father (98) who needs a roller walker to get around- facility was very accessible. read more

You need to place eating the Smashed Burger on your bucket list. I have heard several people call it the best burger they ever had and they were not lying. The burger was cooked perfectly...just melted in your mouth. Even the way the cheese was prepared on the burger was amazing. There is so much flavor and ingredients the jalapeños added a slight hint of flavor. I paired it with the Crispy Brussels and you will be wanting to go home to try and make them. Great service on top of the amazing food. read more

Very good fish and chips, polite staff. Only issue if you haven't been before it's a bit confusing to find it as it's pretty far into the building when you enter the marked side entrance, it's in the center of the building. You will pass a section that has seating for a very large dining crowd, ATM and server statue, Its a little past that point. Recommended. read more

Service was incredibly and friendly. Had a great time and are thinking about booking an event here.

Great food and service! We got the Rumsey Runner cocktails to start! Excellent! Food was great! I order a custom burger and my wife ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. Both were very good!!! This will be our new go to spot when we are in the area!!!!! Great place to watch the game also! read more

Rumsey Tavern - Ramsey Runner - New American Near Me - Shepherdstown, West Virginia

Rumsey Tavern is now revived and back in business. The location is inside the old Clarion Hotel, which is being renovated with apartments. This location will make it really nice for future residents. The location is bright and inviting with outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating and you're welcome to sit at the bar if you'd like to do so. The menu is quite extensive however, at that time we decided to go with the all you can eat chicken wings special that they were offering for $20 . We had Old Bay, Jerk and Garlic Parmesan wings, all of which were nicely prepared, perfectly seasoned and they come 1 pound to an order which is six wings. Our server was spot on, always there to refill the drinks and check on wing order to get us refills of wings and have our order out to us quickly. She was very attentive to our table and cleared the table promptly without leaving anything sitting there. The wings always arrived hot and well seasoned and was a good mix of drums and flats It was an enjoyable meal with excellent food paired with excellent service. read more

Great food! A couple of cons but the great food outweighs everything else! We went back-to-back two days in a row;-) read more

We went for a celebration with a party of about 15 guests . The service rolled right along with drinks refilled and the food service was really well timed. My prime rib was a very generous queen cut and served rare as I like it. My husband said the fish and chips is the best he's ever had.! The reservation was made earlier in the day and when we arrived balloons were flying in two locations to welcome us. Mega-thanks to the person who took the time and trouble to do that and I think that speaks volumes for the tone of the Rumsey Tavern. We will be happy to go back from Hagerstown, Maryland. read more

We like to come for trivia on Tuesday nights. We have come other times not on trivia as well and our server was great. I forget his name but he was working the dining room on a Sunday by himself as others had called out and he did a fantastic job. The dining room is casual and comfortable with a full bar. On Tuesday's we like Spencer. He is a great server. Super friendly and you can tell he is working hard, but he and all the other servers are overwhelmed. We enjoy coming for trivia night, but they need to have more staff to keep up with demand. People were getting their food delivered to their tables an hour plus after the game started. The food is pretty good, but VERY overpriced. $23 for 6 chicken tenders when you can get $14.50 for 20 tenders at a local convenience store. The French onion soup is terribly inconsistent. Some weeks it's okay, others too salty, others flavorless. I've stopped getting it but my husband and stepson soldier on hoping this week it will be good. The shrimp appetizer is not worth the price. Ordered them and only got 5 (menu says 6) and they were very small. Since only getting 5 shrimp that came to $3 per shrimp. Actually most things on the menu are not worth the price being charged. The food tastes good, but it's not anything that knocks my socks off to warrant the price point. 3.5 stars but since Yelp doesn't do halves, I'm going with the lower end. read more

Had another great time at Rumsey Tavern. Had a great flatbread, cheese steak sandwich and cold beer amd wine. We always sit at the bar the bartender was friendly and had great conversation with him and others. Highly recommend all day long. They have some of the best burgers in WV. read more

We really enjoyed this spot in Shepherdstown My family of five with three young kids were well accommodated. Food is casual but you can tell things are made in house with care. The queso and sauces were fantastic Server was also fantastic and took the time to make sure everyone was entertained and comfortable read more

A bit out of the way, but well worth the visit. Decided to check out after reading a review on the smashburgers--they did not disappoint! Devilled eggs were a bit runny (was not a fan, but far from terrible). Caesur salad was good (and I'm not a salad person). Christine our server (and perhaps the bartender here) was excellent with a capital 'E'. She was very attentive, friendly, and helpful. Worth a visit, and the specials (smashburgers on Sunday) were very affordable for what you get! read more

I've not tried everything on the menu, but I've had enough to confidently say you'll love whatever you order. Particular favorites: smash burgers, wings, French onion soup and beignets. Never encountered a special on Saturday that also didn't knock it out of the park. The food is always fresh, fast and delicious. Servers are always wonderful. We've been coming here for years and it remains one of our absolute favorites. read more

Service was great. Ambiance was pleasant. Food pretty average except for the smoked brisket fries!

Relaxing and laidback, food was served hot and was good, outdoor seating and has a bar. Service was good.

This place is off the beaten path but well worth it. Had the Chesapeake Chicken and it was delicious! The chef brought out himself. The crab portion was spiced up just right. Had a salad and a loaded potato with it. It was scrumptious. Highly recommend it.Staff were attentive and courteous.Great surroundings. read more
