You see the "lodge" name and the stuffed animals throughout the restaurant and I'm thinking different cuts of meat, bbq and hearty plates. With that said though all the food we had was delicious. We had some appetizers from the Happy Hour menu, the chicken pot stickers and the south west rolls. I got an amazing bbq burger, absolutely delicious. The fries were subpar though. My husband got the wrap, which I tasted and thought was fresh and the chicken was well seasoned. All in all the service was friendly and fast. I wouldn't mind coming back during happy hour and trying some more drinks and appetizers. It looks like they have bands for entertainment often which I would like to come back for as well.

My impression of the menu is that it's kind of a Middle Eastern, Mexican, American, everything place. The Philly sub was more of a flat sandwich than a traditional philly, different style of bread, but tasty and satisfying. I opted for the chips instead of the french fries to cut some calories Feels very much like an old school neighborhood pub. Looking around, and taking the fact that it's a very small town, I can see this being a social focal point for the area. A nice full bar. There wasn't anything to dislike about it, nice people, nice food, warm, and comfortable, easy five stars. BUT. The one thing that pushed it way over the top was that instead of standing there, awkwardly intimidating, with the card machine in their hand waiting for me to pay, THEY LEFT IT ON THE TABLE AND WALKED AWAY! I can't express how happy this made me. Little things go a long way.

We ordered the C&O Canal Chicken sandwich (which we split) and paid the $2 up charge for sweet potato fries. The chicken breast was not only dry but it was half the size of the bun it was served on. The food came out rather quickly to the point that my thought was that the food was pre-cooked and was sitting under a heat lamp. The fries were soggy to the point that my lady friend did not even finish her share of them. Which is EXTREMELY unusual as she LOVES sweet potato fries! We sat outside and the ambiance is nice. The only saving grace was our server Clarence provided friendly and efficient service and the Margarita was fairly tasty. As I stated: We must have hit them on an "OFF" day based on the reviews of others. We will NOT be returning.

Start charging like it. I wish Dempsey's the best if they can find the clientele to pay their prices. I won't be one of them.

The restaurant is in a cute location with plenty of parking in a beautiful old town, making it a nice spot to spend an afternoon. The menu had so many tempting options that it was genuinely hard to decide what to order. My husband had the burger and fries and said it was probably the best burger he's ever had. I ordered the chicken and biscuits with sausage gravy, and the portion was huge and packed with flavor. The Cobb salads at our table looked amazing, and our friends once again couldn't pass up the sweet potato fries, which are always a favorite. The only small disappointment was that they were out of the Maryland special crab soup, which I had been hoping to try. We skipped alcoholic drinks, but the bar menu looked extensive, and we did finish with a cappuccino that was very good.

Personally, I would never go to a place like this. My boyfriend (whom is quite underprivileged) took me here on his (limited) salary. He promised it would be fun, when it, in fact, was not fun. The mashed potatoes were... sub par. Not only was the portion of gravy utterly ridiculous. (I mean that. Ask for gravy. You will see that it's not even enough gravy to satisfy a small child.) The "chicken" I got, did not even resemble... chicken...? Are you... joking...? The chicken looked more like a strange amalgamation of fried meat (a fusion of hundreds of God's carefully crafted creatures) smashed into the shape of something unmentionable. It was a sight that the devil himself would wince at. Our Lord had no participation in this practice, only now do I see just how far we strayed from him. The... people working there were no kinder than the supposed chicken I received. They were attempting to show me mercy or something among the sort for whatever it was they served me, but their faked kindness did not make up for what I heard. The profanities I heard in that kitchen... Jesus Christ. They made middle school boys look like saints. Did this building erect from hell? I will NEVER set foot here again and I BROKE UP WITH MY BOYFRIEND. FOR EVEN THINKING OF TAKING ME HERE. God bless. read more

The food here is quite mid. The workers have terrible hygiene especially Debbie. The workers are extremely rude and disrespectful and no one seems like they want to be there. They openly bully their younger co workers and are horrible people. They don't clean enough and their floors are always sticky. Many people don't wear gloves when handling the food and you can't tell the last time the place was cleaned. read more

It was a bit on the bland side and the batter is a little confusing. I was expecting a cornmeal style batter or similar, but got something different. The fish itself had potential to be very good. The beans also left a lot to be desired, just lacked flavor and taste. The business looks like they do a lot of catering as opposed to dining (possible a lot of to go orders, too).

Though we weren't there to drink since we had a drive ahead of us, we loved watching the other patrons enjoying the bar scene. With daily specials and a great basement vibe, I can see why people love Wags. As for the food: the burger was just alright - but what can you expect when your meal is less than $10 per person? It honestly was perfect for the price point. The Wag Burger claimed to have a special sauce but we didn't taste it, which was fine because the burger was juicy, greasy, and hit the spot. The Philly cheese steak had a bit more flavor than the burger and was also a solid choice. Fries are fresh and made in-house, and I appreciated that you can salt them yourself and decide what toppings you might want to add. The menu is honestly huge for a dive bar, and all the food was solid. Shoutout to the staff here because after hearing how some drunk customers were treating them, they deserve all the tips in the world. Despite the staff being berated, dealing with intoxicated patrons threatening to run around nude, all while waiting tables with ease and kindness - you all deserve raises.
