I wouldn't want to see a place like this go upscale, but it wouldn't be such a bad thing for the walls to get a fresh coat of paint, at least. My experience with the food was a little mixed. Loved the fresh, moist hushpuppies and the crab dip, but the tots themselves (crabby tots) were a little burnt. I ordered the coconut shrimp and while the flavors were delicious, the shrimp was kind of mushy. If I were to go back, I'd get scallops or crab cakes and crabby fries. The service was slow and I'm not sure why it took so long to get our fountain drinks when we first arrived, but we were there on Friday night so it may just have been a busy time. Our waitress was lovely and took good care of us, impressively remembering the order of each person in our party of 5.

Sports on TVs, good 80's music playing, but not so loud you couldn't ralk. Ambiance - love the exposed ceiling and brick. Everything is down to earth and not pretentious. Worth the drive from Frederick!

We ordered a cream of crab soup ($16) to share, to see if we would like it, and it was pretty good. For our entree we ordered the Steamed Platter for Two (snow crab legs, crabs, shrimp, clams and mussels) ($165) and cole slaw and hush puppies as sides. The platter was huge and delicious: the snow crab legs and the crabs were absolutely delicious, the mussels were great, the shrimp were great and the clams were okay, they didn't have a lot of flavor. The sides, cole slaw and hush puppies, were very good. For drinks we got a Yuengling, a Modelo, and a pink lemonade, all good. For dessert we could't order anything because we were SO FULL, but they have a peanut butter pie in the menu that I hope to try if we are ever back in Thurmont! The ambiance was nice, this is a casual restaurant and the waitresses are very friendly and laid back.

First time visiting Furnace Crab House, and it definitely won't be our last!…read more My family of five stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and had a great experience from start to finish. Our server, Megan, was fantastic - friendly, attentive, and made some great recommendations. The food came out in a timely manner, and everything was delicious. I ordered the Po' Boy sandwich, and wow, it was amazing! Packed with flavor and definitely something I'd order again. Kids had the cheeseburger, friends had the sampler (it was ok), and another had soup that was yummy! One thing that really stood out was when Megan brought out a pitcher of water without us even having to ask. As a family that drinks a lot of water, that thoughtful gesture was greatly appreciated and showed her attention to detail. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Megan deserves a raise! We'll definitely be back.

After 3 visits, this is my favorite restaurant/bar in the Berkeley Springs area. The food is well prepared and reasonably priced. Don't go looking for the fancy stuff here. The menu is simple, and that's how I like it. No drafts, all bottles, no problem if you like regular beers. The pool tables seem to get a lot of use. They have slot machines in a cordoned off room if that's your thing. I look forward to my next visit. The $19.99 steaks on Fridays are AWESOME!

I have been wavering on how to write this review for some time. Mostly because I have been…read moreinfighting with whether I liked this place or not. Was I seeing this place through my own beer goggles for the night. Let's just get into it. When we showed up in the area we had asked about what nightlife was like in the area. With it being in the middle of a cold streak we were told about several places in town that would fit the bill to have a night out. We made the rounds in town and then found ourselves here for the remainder of the night. I think what drew us here was that it looked like a dive from the outside and allowed smoking. There weren't many people in here for a majority of the night, so we kind of got to observe this place with the regulars in it. That really allows to see how the locals are in an area. It was interesting to say the least. Once the drinks started flowing we started to feel a little more comfortable in here. We started talking to the bartender to find out what was good to do besides the typical tourist stuff in the area. She was wonderful with suggestions, telling us about other watering holes in the vicinity and even beyond Gettysburg. We had inquired about LGBT friendly places within a short car ride and were basically told to go to Harrisburg or a small town in Maryland. At that point, that's when things started to get a little weird. After outing ourselves, things got a little uneasy for us. We ended up meeting the owner's grandson. He was great and seconded the suggestions the bartender made. But when he introduced us to the locals at the end of the bar, we kind of wanted to not say much. It actually made us feel unwelcomed after a bit of sitting near them. Kind of like all eyes were on us. After a few more minutes of that, we paid our bill and made it out the door. So the thing is that it's a great bar, if you're a local. Or maybe even if it's crowded, so there are other people to focus on. We liked everything, the freedom to smoke, the pricing, the bartender, but the atmosphere changed at some point and flipped the script. Would we go back? Maybe if it was nicer weather wise out, that would allow more people to be in here.

The drinks were affordable and strong, which was a definite plus. However, my main issue with The Lodge is the seating situation near the stage. If you're sitting in front, be prepared for people to stand directly in front of you during the drag show. I would've preferred if the drag queens, owner, or even security had stepped in to ask them to move. It was frustrating to have 6-foot-tall, 300-pound women completely block our view--especially after paying $18 per ticket. Also, watch out for this one wild white lady in a black shirt and floral shorts who acts invisible and blocks multiple people. If you ask her politely to move, she'll argue with you and even try to escalate things by telling you to "step outside" like she's about that life. Overall, for our first drag show, we had fun--but if you're going to enjoy the performance, be ready to be annoyed because no one there is enforcing basic courtesy or crowd control. Yes this is coming from the gorgeous black queen with the pink/purple hair
