New restaurant night led us to Hagerstown. Based on yelp recommendations we tried this place which looks like a dive from outside but was very nice for bar food. The special was a chef recipe for salmon that sounded charming but we wanted the bar food experience. Fried pickles yum. Shrimp po boy and muenster bacon angus burger. Both very good. Fries and old bay chips. Excellent hand made choices. Very pleased. Definitely should come back when in the area. Service was fabulous despite other helpers experience. Great ambience. Great food. read more

Food is absolutely fantastic. They have an ever changing craft selection on draft. Nice back outdoor area to hang out in. Always my go to bar when I visit home. In fact, it's usually my first stop before the folks house. read more

Great bar. Great atmosphere. Friendly people and service.. didn't have any food. Just a couple of craft beers.

I've been coming to the BroadAxe for 3 years now. They have a great draft selection that is constantly changing. They always have fantastic specials & the food is delicious. The atmosphere is always pleasant and chill. read more

Favorite bar in town, and the food is top notch as well! Shrimp nachos are fantastic and the rueben is one the best I have ever had. Staff is friendly and welcoming! Weekend specials are delicious! read more

I was too lazy to write this review but I have to tbh. Great prices, portion sizes, and flavors. The waiter was also very welcoming and nice. 10/10 would recommend read more

I've been loyal to The Broadaxe for the last ten years. The current owners saw the potential in cleaning up the old dive and turning it into the casually cool watering hole that it has become. The kitchen has been gaining momentum for the last few years, creeping out of standard bar fare and dipping into New American. The patio is a perfect place to spend an evening with friends enjoying the ever changing tap list and a cheesesteak. The live music is super eclectic, and despite the hipster crowd, The Broadaxe remains a family favorite. read more

What a great place!! Great friendly people, awesome atmosphere, and great drink specials every night of the week. My fav Thursday night wings and yings. Dollar yings and 40c wings plus kareokee. Cant get much better than this. Well mabye in the summer when the back outdoor bar will come in handy. Cant wait!! read more

Ehhhh,started off ok ordered wings, sauce was like it was pre made. Ordered the special to go wich was chicken and waffles got to my hotel room 10 minutes after receiving the order and wow it was a soggy mess plus they put a pickle(who the hell puts a pickle in with chicken and waffles?)wich on top of being a soggy mess now tasted like a friggin pickle. Buncha BS!!##! read more

Nice place to have lunch during mid-day, not too crowded. Service and food were great! This time had the fish tacos, a bit spicy which may have been the sauce, but tasty! ....Not to mention the eclectic variety in the music selection was great. read more

My wife and I are kind of food snobs... lol and this is our new favorite place to eat! The crab balls catfish bites and ribs are awesome! Fun atmosphere, friendly staff, EXCELLENT prices! We came for appetizers at 5:30 and loved it so much we came back at 9:00 for the live music and dinner! read more

Stopped in for dinner after a long day of traveling. Great service, great beer, and great food. Highly recommend!

Some blonde guy with a beard that works in the kitchen told me to get the hell out and called me a bitch all because I complained about the queso being an hour to get done. read more

The overall inside feel of the bar is pretty much what I was expecting based on outer appearances, I could easily see this place getting overly crowded on weekend nights. The bar staff didn't make me feel too welcomed when I first came in here to order a drink which is why I'm deducting a star. Otherwise the crab balls were pretty legit although a bit pricey for 4 of 'em but I do recommend them as a small starter app. Overall the place seems to be a fairly decent bar full of Hagerstown locals which appeared to mostly be a noisy middle-aged type of audience, overall though I wouldn't mind stopping in here again sometime. read more

I had a great experience here. Great food, good people and waiters are very friendly. Definetly one of the best places I've eaten in awhile i cannot wait to come back. read more

Mann they are making some good food in there. My wife and I decided to check them out today. I will say fresh fast and good. We had the fried ribs a Ruben and fish and chips. They were Greattt can't wait to return and try something new read more

Really good service and most importantly the food is soo good. Try the fried ribs and Chesapeake chicken.

I recently moved to Hagerstown and was pleased to find a place like the Broad Axe within a couple of miles from home. A clean, comfortable atmosphere with a nice assortment of craft brews on tap. Very reasonably priced menu, with a variety of choices for just about any craving you have. Having been raised in the Midwest, I was thrilled to find the midwest tenderloin on the menu. It was a wonderful taste of home I had not enjoyed in quite some time. Our server was friendly and attentive, and did a great job taking care of us as it was very busy at the time. I will be back again and again. read more

One of the few restaurants in Hagerstown that has a patio. They run some pretty great specials weekly but my favorite is the half price app happy hour on Sundays. read more

This is a great bar for all sorts in Hagerstown. Really great live music when they have it. Generally great service. I'm ecstatic about their catfish nuggets. For me, the crowd is what stops it from earning the fifth star. read more

Swung through on a road trip for a quick sandwich and beer. Great food, cool atmosphere and solid beer selection. Crab cake sandwich was excellent and the old bay chips are legit! Highly recommend. read more

Southern Tier Warlock Imperial Stout was excellent. Service was excellent. Black and bleu burger was great. Grilled chicken club was good, but then how can you go wrong with cheddar and bacon. Homemade tortilla chips and great cheese goo. Then the waitress said bananas foster cheesecake, beyond yummy! read more

Excellent food and courteous staff. My wife and I often go there for our date night. Last time we were there I ordered the fish tacos (highly recommend) without the mango salsa...however when the server brought the food it had the mango salsa. The server/owner was extremely apologetic and quickly fixed the problem by making me a new dinner which he refused payment for. Love the place....frequently visited years ago when it was "peanut night"! My only complaint is the bathrooms...very small and uncomfortable. I wholeheartedly recommend the Axe for their food, hospitality and ambience. read more

Incredible Food and not expensive. Chicken cordon bleu and burgers were great. Kids ate chicken tenders, no kids menu but enough on menu to make them happy. Only issue was wait for the food. 40 minutes, no big deal grab an appetizer, it came out quick, recommend the crab dip. We came in at 1230 on a saturday, so I expected to wait. Servers were great. Will stop again for sure! read more

The place to go for a really great burger! We've not had anything to eat there that wasn't good. Try the catfish - really tasty.

I love Broad Axe! My favorite thing to order on the menu is the fish and chips! The fish is always flavorful and crispy. The fries are always delicious! I highly recommend the Broad Axe! read more

Interesting place, sort of a dive bar but great food and alcohol selection. They have some great specials from time to time. The staff is great. If you are a regular they remember you quickly. I think what makes it so interesting is the mixture of people. You me business people, hippies, artsy types, people of different races, and the typical locals. The bar tenders are great Tony, Mark, Kelly and Donovan. It does get loud and packed at times but check it out read more

Highly recommend this place. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. GREAT food. Batter on the catfish appetizer was very light and crispy, outstanding. Good menu. I had a Portobello Mushroom sandwich and hubby had the Pork Tenderloin. We were very pleased and will come back when we are in the area. read more

A mid-day dirty gin martini and the most amazing chicken thing served on a waffle, makes for a happy-happy Mind and tummy. Sit at the bar or chill at a table. This place hits the top of a good first impression. Service gets a 10. Yay! read more

Great place good food friendly cast and cold beer which is always good I would defiantly go back

This was our stop on the family vacation and it was the best place we've eaten in years! Friendly staff and great menu!

Great Burgers, Fajitas, Quesadillas. What's even better is their beer selection. They have a phenomenal selection of craft beers on tap.

If your looking for a great burger look no further. Less than 2 miles off I81 is this gem. Each time I am driving through the Hagerstown area this is a MUST . Friendly staff , kid friendly and amazing burgers. Give it a try you will not be disappointed. read more

If you are traveling on 81 and are even slightly hungry or thirsty for craft beer, it would be a mistake not to stop here. Just go...you can thank me later. Burger was perfectly cooked, apps were excellent and the fish taco's were flat out the best we've ever had. Say hi Zac for me. read more

Found from reading other reviews, and they were correct. A very good experience. Enjoyed the variety of beers, and the food is as good as advertised. Fries are first-rate. Good service too. read more

We used to eat here quite often but no longer. Upon our last visited found the food to be horrible and inedible. We told management and it appeared that the manager didn't care. He was rudely dismissive and refused to do anything to handle our complaint about the food we 93rd we ordered. The food was too salty and greasy. read more

Bartenders are all awesome. Always a good time. Food is amazing. Any time I go there for lunch I automatically order the daily special, as it's always good. read more

Burgers are the best around. Fish tacos, chicken and waffles, crab nachos, even the fried pickles will blow your mind. My top choice for food in the area. Fast and friendly service as well. They always go out of their way to greet and make you feel you welcome. read more

Absolutely love their black and bleu burger and wings! The service there is a little slow but it doesn't matter because it is a bar and you are there to relax and hang out. My husband and I love taking friends here for dinner! read more

Don't let the outside fool you, its actually pretty nice inside. It has a chill pub kind of atmosphere and you feel right at ease when you walk in. We ordered food and drinks and we didn't have to wait long for either. The life music made it all the nicer. Their chicken wings are pretty good. Definitely going back! read more
