As another poster said, great potential! The main course was excellent. I was a bit nervous to order the ahi tuna in a small inland town, but it was perfect! Even compared to the best rated VA Beach seafood restaurants. Tasted very fresh and was prepared to perfection. The plate was garnished with the 3 sauces, a beautiful presentation and nice variety. Very generous and fresh house salad available as a side and a heaping bowl of fries. My husband ordered the crab cake and it was excellent, similar to Fratellis and Timbuktu. The crab pretzel appetizer was soft and creamy and delicious. I stopped for lunch on another occasion and ordered the berry and nut salad with chicken. Huge, delicious, and nicely presented. Dessert was a bit anticlimactic. The carrot cake was identical to the ones at Sams Club (the orange "carrot" shavings are a dead giveaway) dry and tasting of preservatives. Theres an amazing bakery almost right across the street (Snickerdoodles) maybe they can work with a new supplier. The decor and layout is a bit lacking. Maybe open the rear dining room for dinner? Nothing says date night like being seated right on the main path between the bar and the kitchen. Overall, great food and my new favorite restaurant in Hampstead. Much better food than Greenmount and the IMO, over-rated Fratellis.

Had a terrible experience there once when they first took over as old Towne grill and chalked it up to growing pains. Returned last week to take my mom out to dinner for crabs and it was trash. Service was terrible (like uneducated staff scrambling but not actually doing anything) we were asked if we wanted drinks by two different servers and didnt get the drink from either until I went up to the bar and ordered myself. When we finally got our crabs (reservations for 6pm, arrived at 530 and ordered the crabs again at 545) at 645 they were ice cold. You can tell when crabs have been refrigerated after cooking and these were obviously dumped onto a tray from the fridge. The lightest crabs Ive ever had and I was suspicious if a few were even of legal size. I wouldnt give this place any more of my time. Theres better bars and crab places not much further away.

This place had good potential.. great atmosphere I hate to be that person but our crab dip was JUST cream cheese. When u say no crab meat there was ZERO. We didnt mind because it was late and Im not picky! I got a BBQ chicken flatbread where the chicken tasted like it sat out for a week. Our waitress told us that the "handhelds" were subs so when we got a wrap we were very confused.. chicken was dry on that too. We did appreciate the chef coming out and checking on the restaurant! We also loved the live music and the atmosphere it provided. A little work and this place will be the new happening spot!! We will come back and hope it improves :)

I was really glad to see they had opened up, and this place has lots of potential. Ive been here a couple of times and staff seems friendly. Theyve had foods I liked, (fish taco appetizer, but it was on the border of being spiced too highly) but generally, they over-charge for most everything on the menu, even mediocre pub food. As a restaurant, overall, Im not impressed enough to go back on a regular basis. Fried fish was greasy and lacked flavor and garnish. FYI: If you just want a single side of fries with your meal, it will run you 4 bucks.

This place is the old Deans. The menu is small and a little expensive, there are some seasonal items like fried green tomatoes. They do have good happy hour specials (4-7, 10-12am) like $8 fish and chips, $8 burgers and $5 chicken nachos. The food is good but for the price, it could be better. For some reason, the food always takes forever to come out of the kitchen even when its not crowded.

The food was yummy, especially the cream of crab soup, the service was kind of awkward. The people were friendly but they didnt make a cohesive team. A manager came around to refill our waters and poured water into my friends ginger ale. My dish was made with the one item I requested to be removed, but they did fix it and it was very tasty! Id give it another try!

We stopped in for a quick dinner on a Sunday night. Which I was a little nervous about because sometimes they are quite busy. But it was a normal activity night. Who I can assume is an owner, she seated us right away where we wanted to sit and all night long people were just pleasant and the food was good. Very home town feel.

Had the Salmon BLT. Supposed to have candied bacon and tomato jam. No tomato jam! Bacon didnt go with salmon at all... Appetizer was really good. Was disappointed with my sandwich. Hubby liked his ribs.

Went here on Wednesday for their open mic night. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. The atmosphere is fun and upbeat while still remaining kind of laid back. Will definitely be back again!
