    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.

The food came excellent! Thank you to the kitchen!! We placed the order and the tuna steak came out excellent! However the burger was stupid raw!!!! I asked to not get another since our children had eaten their food already and they enjoyed it! Thank you once again to the kitchen!! 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. What made it feel off was that I seemed to be the only person of color at the bar, and while I was being overlooked, other guests were consistently being checked on and served. 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.

    Located in a quiet plaza with plenty of parking. The shop is tucked in the very corner…read more This is the first decent Mexican restaurant I have encountered in VW, and they sell Boba drinks, which it is a weird mix. As a boba expert, I would not try their powdered boba drink. The taco price are a bit high. But there isn't too many competition in town. Order was placed at the counter, and they take smart phone payments too. The background music is not too loud, and we didn't have to yell at each other to carry a conversation. Orders were served within timely manner. The taco plate i ordered was delicious. The shrimps were freshly pan seared The tortillas were heated as well. The carne asada was tasty too. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food. I also tried their fried plantain which it was yum but greasy. Their cakes were moist and sweet. The interior of the restaurant is broad, and we were able to move the tables around to combine a couple tables. They do not have outdoor seating. Overall, this place gets a 4.6 out of 5. You should definitely try it out.

This restaurant may not look like much, but it's a true hidden gem in Ranson!! (Located all the way at the end of the strip) It is a family owned restaurant offering out-of-this-world food and service! The staff was beyond hospitable! There are tons of boba tea options both fruit or milks teas. Their menu is impressive offering authentic dishes, that you simply cannot go wrong with. I promise you, this spot is so worth the stop!
