Awesome food, quick service even though the food is quality! The diner is clean and spacious. The owners were so helpful. They have a great program for kids after school. They offer them a discount and will even help them with their homework. It is great they provide a place for them to be social and thrive. read more

This is your average diner. Great name, friendly staff, average burgers. My spouse is bummed that there were no references to the TV show Dexter's Laboratory. Great name for a burger joint. We were the only one in the restaurant for a good stretch and found that to be surprising at 6 pm on a Wednesday. They were also almost out of ice cream, many sodas, and chili fries. That added to the 3 stars. read more

Really enjoyed the swiss mushroom burger here, the meat was flavorful and the toppings were fresh. They ended up not having crinkle fries, so I subbed out tater tots, which were crispy and delish. The venue itself is quite nice, we wondered if they use the space as a tavern during the nights. Would definitely go here again. read more

Everyone there is so friendly! The food is good, and the service is awesome. You have to love a place that has your ice cream cone ready for you when you walk in the door. They get to know their regular customers, which to me is a huge plus. read more

The burgers were fantastic! Meat cooked to medium (no pink), loaded with extras. Fries were OK, nut plentiful. Wait time was about 20 minutes. Not long for fresh cooked food. Staff were very friendly. Topped the meal off with a cup of ice cream. All very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend a visit if you are looking for a good burger. Ambiance is not much, but comfortable. read more

Not many burger places have the twisted genius necessary to earn the punny name "Dexters Laburgeratory" but this spot certainly does. This place was about to close up for Memorial Day before me and 3 other out of towners trotted in, and they insisted on staying open and serving us. Their hospitality was unmatched, except maybe by their life-alerting burger creations. To the family that owns this restaurant, burgers are simply a blank canvas where one can test the limits of reality. The Jalapeño poppers combined with the 1/2 pound patty on my burger may have tipped it beyond the 2000 calorie mark but was so dang delicious it had me questioning life's possibilities. My mind was blown and my stomach was full, and I loved the decorations of the dining area too. Will be going back if any opportunities present themselves. read more

Wow These burgers are AMAZING! This place has a variety of food options to choose from like subs and wings but the burgers are the main event. The specialty burgers were the choice this evening with my husband ordering The Cowboy and I orders the Susie Mushroom Swiss. The Cowboy: "One hell of a ride. Can't wait to get back in the saddle and try another." ~~ Hubbie The Suzie Mushroom Swiss: "It had a mushroom blend with double Swiss and onions and the mix was perfect and delicious. I look forward to coming back." ~~ Wifey not so snazzy as the Hubbie read more

Now that was an awesome burger! Cooked just right! Definitely coming back here! Bacon cooked to perfection. Patty was delish!

Berkley Springs, WV, is doomed when it comes to food. They cannot keep a casual restaurant open. Dexter's should have been easy. It looks great, but the food is right off the Cisco Truck, with nothing fresh or homemade. One girl at the cash register, delivering food and cleaning up. One cook in the back. The staff was doing their best. Polite, kind = the problem is in the management (which was not there) and the food quality was poor at best. The burger tasted like a ground dairy cow. Very dry and gristly with chunks of hard stuff in it. Chicken tenders came out of a plastic bag, and instead of being 'tender,' we got the small hard, over-breaded chunks from the bottom of the bag. Rubin corn beef was off the cisco truck. It was overheated to a deep magenta color, dry, tasteless. The french fries with gravy and cheese had no cheese (they ran out) and the gravy was obviously out of a jar -- They have a pool table that the kids in the store were screaming over. They need to cover it with a piece of plywood when children are around as parents do not always keep their kids in line. This place is doomed unless management gets in there and helps with the service (this was a Saturday night), and upgrade the quality of the food they serve. I can go to Costco and get what they are serving, make it at home, and eat it hot at a fraction of the price. The only downtown casual diner BS ever had worth going to was Morgan's on Main, which closed during Covid. It could be a great space, but they need to close, get staffing, find a chef or experienced grill person to help the poor kid in the back, and management needs to be present and assisting. They should also reduce the size of the menu, and stick to a few things like making a decent burger - which is easy if you start with proper beef, get them done right, and then add on the fancy salads. They offer open-face turkey and beef sandwiches, but when asked, they come off the truck. Gross. Only do it open-faced if you can make beef and turkey in the house. Spend some money at Dexter's and get someone to develop a menu and create the recipes. Gravy is easy and should not come out of a jar or be reconstituted from dry. But it is all too much for one man/woman to prepare. We would have sent the food back and demanded a refund, but the girl was so sweet we did not want to give her a hard time over something she could not control. Great idea. It could be a wonderful addition to Berkely Springs. They need to invest time and money into what they are doing and not leave to 20 somethings to deal with managements failings. read more

Stopped with some friends today during our visit to Berkeley Springs. Had the mushroom and Swiss burger, added blue cheese. Fries came on the side. There was a nice area to eat that looked like it would be a fun spot to hang out in the evening. Had a pool table and some games. Maybe they are working on getting a beer/liquor license? Overall the food was good and everyone who worked there was nice. I'd definitely go back and try something else. read more

Some great burgers. I had the Texas burger. A huge patty with cheese, onion rings, bacon and BBQ sauce. great service. You must try it. They made a lot of improvements since they took over from Earth Dog. They gave us a complementary plate of home fries that were quite tasty. read more

Great Burgers! Better than expected! An awesome place for a burger and follow up with some good ole "Hershey's Ice Cream". Yummmmmmm!

I'm always a little hesitant when a new restaurant opens up here in Berkeley Springs, so we were cautious on our first trip to Dexter's. I do love the 90s reference, so they had me from the start! We both ordered very regular burgers; cheese, raw onions, lettuce, tomato. We also got a side of french fries and onion rings. When they came out, we were immediately impressed! The owners are clearly the server and cook were incredibly friendly. Everything looked incredible. Obviously hand made patties cooked medium, and just slightly pink. This meat was so juicy and fantastic! The buttery brioche buns, the giant slices of sour pickle, the cheese wasn't some generic, yellow cheese, but a strong, incredible cheddar, maybe Tillamook? The crinkle cut fries and onion rings were fried perfectly. We actually couldn't finish it all and ate our leftovers for lunch the next day. When I went up to the counter to get a to go container for our leftovers, I witnessed a magical moment. The chef turned a tray of his club sandwiches around for his wife to admire while saying "have you ever seen more beautiful club sandwiches?". it was heartwarming to see someone take such obvious pride in their labors. Next time I'll have to get a club sandwich. It was so tall I have no idea how I would eat it, but I would give it a shot! We will be back to Dexter's Laburgertory again, and again! read more

Tasteless burgers and fries were the highlights of a poor meal. Sodas were watered down. Too many fixings made the burgers hard to handle.

My girlfriend and I ordered mushroom Swiss burger, beer bratwurst, roast beef platter, and ice cream. Loved the generous scoop of ice cream, and the spicy cheese balls were delectable. Overall, fast service and great food. Highly recommended. The only wish is that for the roast beef platter, the bread should be toasted, with a larger portion for fries, and would like it if they asked for the doneness of the patty. 9.5/10. read more

The server was running the dining room and carry out like a pro. I had the cold roast beef sandwich and my husband had a chefs salad. Both very filling and we took home leftovers! We will definitely be back! read more

Delicious food, great customer service, and yummy ice cream for dessert. We enjoyed it and will be back!

Overall excellent experience. Good food at reasonable prices. Burger was 100% beef - no fillers. Food is cooked to order, so figure a 15 minute wait. Owner/Manager checked in with us to make sure everything was to our liking. read more

I love this little restaurant. The burgers are delicious and huge. The staff is extremely friendly, and the restaurant is nice and unique. I definitely recommend stopping in for dinner. read more

Amazing staff and amazing food. This was a pit stop on a road trip, and the absolute right choice. The whole family was pleased. The homemade ranch is off the charts as well. There wasn't a single item we got that wasn't top notch. read more

This place is always closed. I've tried eating here at least 3-4 times and their hours are inconsistent.

Great place for food and ice cream. Servings were generous and prices crazy reasonable. Very spacious for families. Good eats.

Very friendly service and delicious burgers! Great prices for the quality and quantity of food. We will definitely stop here again when in Berkeley Springs! read more

Husband and I had a late lunch on Tuesday- I had turkey burger, side salad, and strawberry shake-all three very yummy. Husband had large salad with chicken and onion rings-also very good! Nice relaxing atmosphere-a couple people enjoying the pool table nearby, another couple eating as well. Service was prompt and friendly. Recommend!! read more

Boyfriend and I stopped by tonight to grab dinner. The staff was so friendly, and the atmosphere was very comfortable. They have pool tables and games. The burger & cheesesteak were incredible. 10/10 definitely recommend read more

I live local but rarely eat out. Decided to give this place a try on a Saturday afternoon. Walked in and while I was looking at the menu the cook (who was out near the front counter was blowing her nose and wiping her mouth with a paper towel while talking to the other customers. Then she stuck the paper towel in her pocket turned around walked right past the sink behind the counter and walked back to the grill without even thinking about washing her hands. That's when I walked out. read more

Me and my family are on vacation West Virginia right now, we decide to go here for dinner last night. Some of the best burgers I've ever had definitely would recommend for anyone who is wanting a good crispy burger with bacon! read more

Called in a phone carry out order from here last night. First time getting their food. Got 2 chicken cheese steak subs with everything. WOW! Delicious and made exactly as ordered they even toasted the sub roll. We are new to the area and are happy to find this gem. Kinda weird inside where the seating is, but we just got carry out to eat on the road. Definitely will be back! read more

Very good burgers. They people that run this place is great, very friendly. The atmosphere is very relaxing. I would recommend trying. Lots of items on menu. Take out or dine in. I hope they open for breakfast. read more

Food and service was great!! Local and very nice. Affordable prices and a great experience.

I wouldnt recommend this place at all. The parking is terrible and the employees are not very welcoming. The owner and manager both had a strong smell of drugs on them when they walked by me and my wife. We were the only ones there and had a long road trip so we tried them out anyways. I ordered a steak sub and my wife ordered a burger and fries. Our order took half an hour to receive and the food was mediocre at best. We will not be returning. I would rather get a cheaper and better tasting burger from the Dairy Queen thats only about a mile or so up the road. I had hoped this would have been a much better experience being that this is a new restaurant, but it appears as though the management team is more concerned about the image of the restaurant over the quality of food they produce. ​ read more

I ordered a garden salad and asked for ranch and they didn't even give me silverware or the ranch I asked for so I had to go back up again to ask for a fork and ranch and also I went with my family and they messed up their orders also, food wasn't even really that good and if you have social anxiety I definitely don't recommend because of having to go up a lot of times. The food is not worth the price. If I could give them a 0 I would but I can't so I give them a 1. read more

I ordered a burger with fries and I was extremely disappointed. The burger was so dried out that i couldn't even eat it, the fries were cold and it took 25 minutes for it. There was only one single burger order with cheese fries ahead of my order. 7 workers singing and dancing to the loud music playing but horrible food, especially for the price! read more

Menu looked good, no sit down available, so we didn't stay. something that should have been said on their Facebook/web sight. Carry out only, after 2 hour drive I'm disappointed. Tony's is good though read more

New place, food was good. Service was excellent, Menu was a bit difficult to read,,, maybe just for me...Wish they had seating available, They have VEGAN ice cream!!! Will definitely be back again! read more

The food is good. It's take only, so service doesn't enter into it. My reason for 3 stars: I paid using a credit card. The check uses a tablet that gives you tip options. The tip options presented were 40%, 20% and other. I will sometimes leave a tip for take out, but never 40 or 20 percent. I selected other and said 0. I don't like being backed into a corner. read more

This place was great. I got there right as they were closing thinking it was too late. I could see the staff cleaning up for the night as the manager came out and got us the food. On top of that the food was fantastic. We got two cheese steaks that were so juicy and delicious. I went back the next day and got Roast Beef sandwiches that were really good. Highly recommend this place if you want something good to eat and a friendly staff. They also have really good ice cream. read more
