I will agree with most of the comments I have seen about the food. Everything that we have tried…read morehas been very good. The Chicken Parmesan sandwich I had last night was on point and my girlfriend had a very good chicken quesadilla as well. Prices are pretty reasonable. My only beef is with the service. The bar is a little "cliquey" from several observations. The regulars seem to get waited on immediately and a newcomer gets a "I'll be right with you". No placemats, no silverware, no napkins seems to be the norm. Had to ask for ketchup when my fries came out after getting chips by mistake. We will most likely go back though, especially since The Bird River Inn changed their whole menu and did away with most of our favorite menu items. Everything is smoked now and very salty. If you're looking for ambience, you may want to try somewhere else. The Dugout is a hole in the wall dive bar and has been for decades...just the way the regulars like it!

We stopped by this bar after kayaking at Mariner State Park on a Monday evening. Dugout Tavern is…read moreout of the way from the rest of the busy streets, but it is worth stopping by. They have one pool table where APA league members usually play, a shuffle board, and a number of TVs for sports games (although they are not HD). I could tell this was a local go-to for many of the customers at this bar especially since they all seemed to know each other. Our bartender was very friendly with helping us decide what to order. We got the Belly Buster Fried Fish sub ($8.99), with a side of fries (an extra $2) and Italian Cold Cut ($9.50), with a side of chips (free), along with a Loose Cannon ($5.00) & Grapefruit Crush ($6.00). The subs were pretty good. The fried cod (I believe it was) was nice and crispy and the tartar sauce paired perfectly to cut the richness of the grease. The portion was definitely money's worth. The cold cuts in my sub were fresh. There was enough acid to not make the bread soggy. The grapefruit crush was very icy. I noticed the bartender made it by blending a grapefruit fruit cup with ice and some grapefruit-vodka. When I was done with my first drink, she poured the rest of the mixture from the blender into my glass, which I thought was very nice. All in all, dugout tavern is a hidden gem that has great food and service. There is also parking on site and outdoor seating.

It has a very homey ambiance. The food is spectacular! I got a meatball sub and mozzarella sticks, and both were perfect. Service was quick and friendly. And prices are very reasonable.

The food is pretty on point, but the service needs work. Either the bartender needs help, or the…read morebar backs need help. One of the two. There was no soda for crushes so the bartender was having to run to the back bar to fill pitchers of sprite which took extremely long given that there was a good amount of ppl at the bar, and she was also taking phone orders.

Have a few pool tables which is cool but certain nights there is league I believe so they aren't available. Overall, I will go back, but mostly for the dish I got! Hoping they get some good help soon.

Vic was our server and he was wonderful, answering questions and very knowledgeable. Michelle was the mgr on the evening we were there and came out when we wanted to rave over the meal... when she found out we were new to the area, she came back to the table with her top picks for dining in the area.

We have become "regulars" and our server that we ask for every time, (Brenna) is a bright light and always provides us with amazing service that keeps us coming back!

Our meals, once again were all really good and service was top notch. Thank you, Brenna, (and team), for making our meal a memorable one, once again. I'll provide some updated photos to keep this review as fresh as the food and service! :)

Some might like this, it is low key and they always have a DJ there. The good part is they have decent food available from the restaurant below. In the summer, obviously there will be more people and they have a nice 2nd story deck with it's own bar that is nice. They added a crab steaming building 2-3 years ago, so enjoy some crabs on the deck! I will say the DJ is almost always too loud, not sure why they can't turn it down...maybe something to do with the older crowd?? Living close to this place, it's a nice option, definitly better than Wild Duck on every aspect except view.

The blackened salmon, despite its look, was nice and moist and deliciously seasoned. Underneath the salmon was the corn medley which was just ok - it didn't really add anything and I wish it had more corn. The deviled eggs with crab were yummy, the shrimp cocktail was just ok (I don't think you can get much flare with those), the crab dip *drool* scrumptious, and not pictured is the Mac n cheese which was cheesy and tuna and the Cadillac margarita - I love a good caddy and theirs made my top 5 list!

When my food arrived, the wings were not all flats. I politely brought it to the server's attention, and she apologized, saying she would have four additional flats made and brought out on the side at no extra charge. The extra flats arrived, but when I received the check, there was an additional $5 charge for them. Since the original server had left for the day, I explained the situation to another server, who then brought over the manager. After I explained what had happened, the manager seemed skeptical at first, as if I was trying to get something for free. Eventually, she agreed to remove the $5 charge. To make matters worse, when I asked for a to-go box and a side of blue cheese because my original blue cheese had been thrown away, I was told it would cost an additional $0.75. At that point, I was frustrated that I was being charged for a replacement of something that had been discarded by the staff. I paid it, but the entire experience left a bad impression. The overall interaction felt like the restaurant was constantly looking for ways to add extra charges and nickel-and-dime customers. Customer service should focus on making things right when mistakes happen, not creating additional frustrations. Unfortunately, between the service issues and food quality, I won't be returning and would not recommend this restaurant to others.
