The top to try this location served us well and we rank this at the top of the 4 eateries we chose to dine for dinner while here on vacation based upon recommendations. Aces set the bar on service and taking care of us during our long weekend away. The grilled chicken sandwich was spot on even if it was 2 pieces of chicken and not one 8ounce breast filleted over on itself. Sauce was amazing and fries were well prepared. My wife ordered the Philly cheesesteak and it was absolutely killer, and incredibly huge. We had to eat the meats of our buns just to get through the meal and to top it off they brought us a complimentary crème brûlée for my wife's birthday which was excellent and wonderfully appreciated. Would definitely dine here again as they took walk ins as well as reservations. The quality of food and customer service were equal across the board between Ace's and Brenda's. Wonderful time!

They asked if we could wait 15mins so servers could catch up and of course we were glad to do that. They have a cafe at the front that we were able to wait at and order coffee from. They then came and brought us to our seats. Very nice servers! By the time we left, the place was packed! Food was yummy, a little disappointed because they brought our appetizers and entrees at the same time. So I felt like we were a little rushed to finish the app first since both were some kind of dip that would be best served warm.

Our waitress Hailee was so kind to take the time to split our checks and to split the meal of our bday friend onto all of our checks. Great place to go if you're starving after a long day of skiing!

Craft beers, nice decor, good food, great staff, good for a group…read more About 12 of us wanted a meal all together in McHenry MD, and we all like craft beer and pizza, so the Mountain State Brewing Co. restaurant was an easy choice. (Jun 2026). It's a large brew pub with a cabin-like décor, out Sang Run Road just north of Deep Creek Lake. There's a little carved bear by the front door, and a kid-size huggable bear at the host stand. Photo ops! And fun for the kids! They seated us quickly and our server was quick in taking beer orders. They have plenty of soft drinks, and we got Lemonade and Apple Juice, Orange Fanta (a favorite), and a pitcher of Mountain State's own creamy MSBC Root Beer - made here! Beer-wise, there were 16 draft crafts plus a couple of old standards to choose from on a paper menu or by looking at their website or QR-code. Most were around 5% ABV. We had Pennsylvania's full-flavored grassy citrusy mildly-bitter Victory Summer Love golden ale. We raided MSBC's just-west-of-here West Virginia brewery of their creamy malty lightly-bitter Miner's Daughter oatmeal stout, and a lightly-bitter caramel Almost Heaven amber ale. New York's Hudson North brewed us some summery sweet Salted Watermelon cider. And we had some from home: Columbia MD's Black Flag Snozzberry Haze: a fruity piney hazy IPA, standing up at 7% ABV. Baltimore's Mobtown Fever Dream, a creamy flavorful somewhat fruity IPA, punching at 7.4% ABV. And Baltimore's Wico Street Yeah Brah, a strongly-bitter double IPA, clobbering us with an 8.5% ABV! A wonderful fermented tour of the northeast! Get ready to say "yum" out loud... From their wide range of bar foods and appetizers, we had fresh crisp tortilla chips with their medium-spicy cream cheese and homemade-ranch baked Buffalo Chicken Dip, elevated with blue cheese on top and an add-on side of chipotle! They made their own fresh-Spinach & Artichoke Dip with fresh basil, roasted red peppers, and an extravagant blend of cream cheese, feta, mozzarella, asiago, parmesan, and cheddar jack. The giant soft crust Pretzels & homemade Beer Cheese were notably popular with the kids. Salads? Yep. Tasty Lemon Herb Chicken Salad, crisp and crunchy Caesar salad, house salad with requested black olives, and cole slaw. And sides of orange segments and raisin-like cranberries for the little ones. And on to the main feast :-). Simple fried chicken nuggets and off-the-menu Pepperoni Pizza to be sure the younger crowd was satisfied. The Boars Nest sandwich was overnight-tender pulled pork with tangy Carolina BBQ sauce and fresh crunchy cole slaw on a lightly-toasted brioche bun. The spicier "wilder" Wild Boar sandwich had that low-and-slow pulled-pork awakened with bright jalapeños and spicy Chipotle BBQ sauce, topped with provolone on that toasted yet pillowy brioche. The fresh Caprese sandwich had firm ripe Roma tomatoes, tender baby spinach, and fresh mozzarella with requested added chicken. It was all dressed with bright basil dressing, drizzled with tangy sweet balsamic glaze, on crisp and soft toasted Italian bread. A well-made classic caprese re-invented by MSBC as a bright crunchy sandwich! Everyone liked those classic crisp pepperoni pies. From their world-class pizza recipes, we had the Supreme: pepperoni, sausage, onions, green peppers, their cheese blend, and black olives, drizzled with fragrant fresh olive oil. And the vegetarian so-tasty-you-wouldn't-guess it-was-gluten-free Yard Sale pizza: marinated artichokes, prosciutto, mozzarella, with an olive oil & garlic base, sprinkled with fresh basil and a dash of freshly-cracked black pepper. Mountain State Brewing Co. gave us a memorable spread of great beers and delicious creative foods. You know we enjoyed leftovers the next day :-) Our terrific server Claire was ever-attentive, and between you and me, made it seem effortless to host our full table of hungry adults and kids. We'll be back, especially for their wide-ranging ever-changing draft list and those amazing pizzas!

And I must say they did do a great job on the expansion! The deck is beautiful and spacious, and it wrapped around both sides of the building, and it has a lot of different seating options some with umbrella tables not undercover, and then there is a large portion undercover where the outside bar is located. Then one big screen, TV and a couple small screen TVs, which was perfect since I came there to watch opening day of Steelers football. The bartender Steve was super nice, and there were quite a few regulars at the bar. They had some great game day specials for beer and for cocktails and you could also get buckets of beer. The also had some appetizer specials during football games. They have happy hour that I believe starts at 3 PM Monday through Friday. I think they have improved their menu for the better since I was last year a few years ago. I had a tall Michelob Ultra for five dollars as a game day special and then I have a skinny margarita is my second drink. I was happy to see that they had protein bowls on the menu, which came with a base of mixed grains, greens, chopped tomatoes, black beans, and roasted corn, and then you could add one of four proteins, I added blackened shrimp and it did come with 11 shrimp on top. You could also pick a sauce to go with, I tried to lime creamer, which I didn't really like that much and they actually brought me a tomatillo that was spicy and tasty. I would definitely return here on a nice day to sit on the deck and a few beverages. You can see the lake from the deck expansion. In fact, we may return tomorrow for lunch! They also have live music on the patio on the weekends.

Our server was friendly, but we only saw her twice during the entire meal. Everything arrived cold--fries, wings, burgers, chicken, and the kids' mac and cheese was overcooked and dried out. The manager personally apologized and stated he was cooking. He took responsibility, explaining they didn't have a cook scheduled for the noon rush. I appreciate the honesty, but the long wait, lack of service, and poor food quality made for a disappointing experience. Photo is my "double burger" the size of a silver dollar and a boneless wing for reference.

The ambiance was busy and bit unkempt as there was no one available to clean the front of the house or tables outside. The bagel is ok, not the traditional bagel I've had from NY. Also very odd that they only offer plain cream cheese with bagels. No options for extra cheese or sausage in place of the egg but sometimes that is expected. My wife's quiche was meh, mirroring our help in ordering and more like an egg casserole than a quiche, the fruit was grapes and we thought that meant cut fruit, again no clarification from our cashier. The main items we enjoyed were the tap water and latte which we were expecting much better due to all of the comments and recommendations that other people have had that they gave us during our vacation. Not wowed, not too much in the way of customer service and we felt bad for the customer s next to us that seemed to have more issues than us with ordering and their service. Glad we stopped, got a punch in our hospitality card but found the whole experience to be just a little below average for the price commanded for what we ordered.
