    a basket of pulled pork and a sandwich
    Diana V.

    The food was pretty good, the Mac & Cheese was delicious, we ordered Brisket and Ribs. Customer Service was amazing, we'll def be coming back.

    I sometimes wonder if I lived in a world without Yelp, whether I would just mostly dine at corporate restaurant chains or stick with the same places I dine at all the time without ever venturing outside of my culinary comfort zone. Thankfully, we don't live in a Yelp-free world, and it continues to serve as a valuable resource to help me find hidden gems and I likewise, do the same by sharing cool places I come across. Charles Town, WV is not generally regarded as a "culinary hotbed". As a amusing anecdote, when we stopped into the Visitor's Center, one of the folks even said, "well, if you're looking for things to do, there isn't much here". So after visiting the various Civil War landmarks such as the courthouse where John Brown was convicted of treason and also the cemetery which serves as the final resting place for many of George Washington's relatives, my Yelp app suggested going to TeeDawg's for some awesome BBQ. This is a relatively new BBQ joint which has only been open since September 2018, but they are quickly building a local and regional following. One of the friendly staff, Courtni, explained that TeeDawgs started out as just a catering operation (and they still do extensive catering gigs), but once word of mouth spread, they set up shop at this prime spot along Washington Street in downtown Charles Town, and the business has been steadily growing. If I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times, but there is just something in the DNA of the pit masters in the South which enables them to "do BBQ right". If you're going to visit TeeDawgs, do it on the weekends, since that's the only time they prepare ribs. And don't waste your time with the 1/2 rack, go all the way with the full rack. All of the meats are dry rubbed and then slow smoked for hours...and that's one of the predominate flavor profiles in the meats - SMOKE! The ribs were meaty and definitely "fall of the bone" tender; you really don't even need a fork to extract the bones, just a bit of pressure. And what you immediately notice is that bark and smoke ring around the meat. Mmmm...it's good. The brisket sandwich was tasty, but I did find that some of the pieces were a bit too fatty. And having once lived in the epicenter of beef brisket aficionados (Austin, TX), I understand that brisket needs some fat to keep it moist as it smokes, but still I think a bit of trimming before serving to customers would help. Sides were delicious! The mac n' cheese tasted like it had a combo of different cheeses, instead of just the generic florescent orange American variety and the slaw was nice and crunchy without too much mayo. Big plus with the house made BBQ sauces. My favorites were the Oh my Gawd sweet and Hot and the Alabama White sauce. I am a sucker for BBQ sauces which are both sweet and spicy, and this version has the right amount of heat to amp up the flavor. The only other time I've had a white style BBQ sauce is when I visited this place - https://www.yelp.com/biz/fatmans-smokehouse-bbq-montgomery-2 - during a business trip to Montgomery, AL a few years ago. White BBQ sauce is a uniquely Southern concoction which has some mayo, vinegar, horse radish, and a whole bunch of other savory herbs. All I know is, it's great to dip your smoked meats. Didn't get anything to drink other than water and ice tea since I had a long drive back to DC, but the prices of the draft beers are also pretty good. Check their board for daily specials and what they're pouring that day. If you're in the area either to view the historical sites or to visit the casino, do yourself a favor and skip the national chain eateries and fast food joints, and stop here for some authentic BBQ.

    This is the worst BBQ place we have all been to, ever. They literally reheat 100% of the food you order. We ordered the beef brisket, pulled pork, and pulled chicken platters. For $12-14 a platter and $2 for a drink we were astonished how terrible this food was. Bland, no taste, greasy, watery, fatty, and chunky would be words to describe all of this food. There's no way you make this food in 2 minutes, which is how fast we got all of our food. & the leftovers reheat really shows. & how they made baked beans gross is beyond me. I'd rather have a mcrib from McDonald's than this food.

This place is right on the property for an outdoor adventure park that does tubing in the winter and river tubing/ ropes courses/camp in the summer. Being in Harper's ferry and given the neighboring business this is a captive audience gold mine for a restaurant. Sadly, we came here on a Saturday and it was PAINFULLY obvious their service capabilities could not match the customer demand signal. We started at 4PM and they were about at 50% capacity (generously). You order your own food at the bar or via QR code. This is a standard practice so nothing wrong there, but it did take us about 10 minutes to then get our drinks. The food came out within 15 minutes. Food was descent if not a little on the expensive side. Beer was fairly priced. They don't have a super large menu and they were out of a handful of things. Like for one, being out of iced tea seemed like an easy fix from my perspective working in bar/restaurant management in the past. We went and enjoyed the Christmas lights and then went back in around 615PM for a nightcap. This is where things went off the rails. The inside was full the outter tables were 40-50% taken. Overall I would say 80% of a jam packed house. We ordered 2 Irish coffees and a beer. 25 minutes later I went in to check on our drinks and the patrons faces inside said it all. The couple at the bar had been waiting 30 minutes to pay their bill, one lady got up and left because people had come in after her, ordered the same thing, eaten, paid, and left before she got her food. They hadn't even started our drinks and when I went to the bathroom I could see the kitchen order display and half their tickets were lagging, badly. From what I could tell they had 3 people tending bar/running food plus other food runners. I don't know what the kitchen staffing was. This place should be KILLING it with how they are set up location/clientele wise but I can say for certain they will take a hit on return business tonight. This place has great potential and I hope for the owner's sake this was an off night. As a bartender/bar manager watching personnel work tempo, efficiency, etc... I was screaming inside.

There was only one choice available for the first two courses, and two for the main course. We don't eat pork so we both had scallops for dinner. The first two courses (a gazpacho and shrimp+grits kind of deal) were both good, but it was really the scallops that won us over; they were delicious. The cheese plate for dessert had 1 kind of cheese, and we were disappointed there were no dessert options involving chocolate. Overall, we had a nice meal, but didn't really think it warranted the $250 we spent.

The evening was beautiful, the restaurant was as quaint as you would expect!! The tuna was cooked PERFECT! Thank you to the kitchen staff!!! I asked for the check and paid it ....(despite the fact that the waiter disappeared for over 15 mins and I had to walk to the bar to ask for it!!) Left a tip and then proceeded to leave the restaurant and head to our car since both kids hadn't slept and it was past 8 pm (when I overheard the following...) Once again the server was kind and charismatic despite ignoring us in an empty restaurant where she had 3 tables when we arrived and two when we left. As we were walking out of the restaurant, the server, had the stones to show my signed check, with a 10% tip, as was warranted after ignoring us, serving me raw food and not coming back for along time.... (Sorry kitchen but the raw burger was on you for this one!) And she, had the gall to brag to another table of patrons, showing the receipt in my wife's face, that were taking away from her money, when she provided poor service!! I wouldn't dream of having her fired, hence the reason I'll never name her. " she might have had a bad day!", BUT I want her to learn a lesson about treating every customer with respect! My wife and kids didn't deserve a poor experience for our first time in your restaurant! Be kind. Be loving and understanding! Everyone can have hardships in life, as we all do, but if you're in this industry, be kind, be watchful and give a care about your job!! You never know the negative impact you can leave for fellow strangers, especially little children that enjoyed Harper's Ferry for the first time! Overall, the restaurant is excellent, food is excellent and the vibe is 8/10!

The bartender who initially helped me never came back, and I ended up waiting until 5:02 before flagging down someone else just to get my check.

I can't say for sure what the reason was, but the difference in attention was noticeable. I had planned to order more (crab cakes and shepherd's pie), but after being ignored that long, I decided against it. Overall, a disappointing experience.
