Cream of crab soup
Renee B.

It's been years since I've been here. My last review was from 2017 so I figured that I would do an update. Today I took my Aunt here for lunch. As soon as we walked in we were greeted at the front. They quickly seated us in a booth. It was a little busy. We were given menus and some water. We chose to do one of the afternoon specials. For $21.00 you chose a soup or salad. My aunt chose Maryland crab and I chose cream of crab. For the entree we both chose the single crab cake with broccoli and for dessert my aunt chose the bread pudding and I chose the vanilla ice cream. Yes all of that for just $21.00. We ordered a crab pretzel as our appetizer to share. Everything was just so delicious. We did order drinks, I chose the raven margarita and my aunt had the cayman lemonade. The drinks were delicious as well. Our waiter was pleasant. We even had some leftovers to take home. The crab pretzel was so good my aunt chose to get one to go. We really enjoyed dining here. Great food and great service.

Unfortunately inconsistent since our last visit here just under 2 months ago. We were here again with a larger party of 19 people but our table was not ready by our reservation time at 4pm until after 430. A bunch of us ordered beers- all flat. You'd think the miller lite was apple juice just by looking at it. We knew we liked the wings so we ordered them again, except this time they were dinky and dry. Though they actually came with blue cheese and celery (guess they just forgot last time). We also got the crab pretzel- delish and huge- great shareable item. The burger was also a good choice- very juicy- but all toppings are extra.

The food is pretty good. I haven't had anything that I didn't like. We come here every other month for a association luncheon and our server Andrew is always great! We always reserve a private section on the lower level which allows us to discuss our meeting topics freely without disturbing anyone else. We appreciate the private atmosphere.

Service was great. I ordered the Stuffed Rockfish is was ok . My wife ordered a burger and came almost raw. Been awhile since we been here and now know why.

Our dear friends invited to treat us to dinner at the Silver Spring Mining Company to try their Sour Beef and Dumplings. We met them at 4:00 PM for an early dinner, and because we wanted a quiet area to sit we ate in the bar. Surprisingly, it was very quiet. Amanda, our server, came right over and took our drink orders. She was upbeat, welcoming and friendly. Our friends said we should order the 1/2 portion of Sour Beef with the extra dumpling in place of the Cole slaw. So, that is what we all ordered. They were right - the Sour Beef and Dumplings were delicious. The sauce just had the right amount of tanginess, and the dumplings were dense and fluffy at the same time. Amanda's shift was over, and she kindly told us she would be leaving, and that Ryan would be taking over. Wow, what a difference in service! Amanda was at the top of her game, and Ryan could have cared less. When our host asked for the dessert menu, Ryan told him there was none and proceeded to tell him what the desserts were. Our friend said he saw a dessert menu on the main menu and asked him to go get the menu. Of course, the desserts are listed on the menu. Ryan said he knew that, but did not feel like walking back to get one for us to see. We were all flabbergasted - how lazy can one person be who just came on duty? We ordered the Oreo Brownie Sundae and the Rice Pudding. Both desserts were decadent. For as good as our beginning was, the ending was soured by Ryan.

I come for Happy Hour during the week. Nice menu very budget friendly and friendly staff downstairs at the bar. Nothing fancy very cozy and nice.

I attend this location frequently but this is my first time trying it for restaurant week. Here are my thoughts: - The customer service from bartender Jason was phenomenal. He was our waiter while we sat at the booth in the bar area. He was fast, kind, extremely efficient, prepared, and attentive. I have no complaints. 5/5 for customer service. - My son's ribs were filling and large but a bit pricey. The broccoli was a little mushy but definitely seasoned. The fries had a good crunch but was only warm (not hot). Overall his meal was about 3.8/5 - I ordered the fried pickles, stuff shrimp with broccoli, and bread pudding. I used to love their fried pickles but now I don't. They changed the recipe and now serve them like a thin basket of fries. Previously, they were thick (like a spear) and served in a tall basket that stood up. The new formula and presentation used extremely thin, nearly shredded pickles. Again, the broccoli was mushy but seasoned. The stuffed shrimp was delicious but the portion was so small. It didn't feel like I got my money's worth for the restaurant deal. The bread pudding was really tasty but I wish I had ice cream to add to it. Anyway, I would rate that full meal as a 3.3/5 for portion and mushy veggies. - My spouse's meal was the boom boom shrimp, pork chops with mash potatoes & coleslaw, and black bottom cheesecake. The boom boom shrimp was very good but we did ask for ranch dipping sauce on the side. The pork chops were amazingly juicy. They came with an apple sauce for dipping but I didn't like the flavor combination. The coleslaw was decent. The black bottom cake was just ok. I'm glad it came with my meal because otherwise, I wouldn't have ordered that dessert. Overall, this meal was a 4.2/5 strictly for the mash and porkchop. - Wings were a to go order for someone else. They said the wings were good but wish they had a little more ranch dipping sauce. 4/5

I feel like with any chain restaurant like Silver Spring you have to go in with a certain expectation... If you're there to get cheap greasy bar food for happy hour (I mean this in the most lovingly way possible because that's what I got!) then it's great. If you're going in expecting a 5-star meal then you will be disappointed. After a work-out my friend and I ended up here for HH to completely undo everything we just did. We decided to split a crab pretzel and an appetizer sampler that came with wings, fried pickles, potato skins, and chicken tenders. There was more than enough food for both of us. We were there on a Friday night and they had a special for a $9 crab pretzel (I think that's about $4 off normal price) Drinks were cheap for HH too. Most domestic drafts were buy one get one for a penny as well as the margaritas. We paid about $6.50 each for two drinks each. Not bad! It was a nice place to catch up and eat some fried goodness. In their bar area they also had a fire going in the fireplace which was very cozy.

You can tell this place has regulars and they love it there. We had to wait a bit for help since there was only 1 bartender who was also the only server. But she was super friendly and personable. I ordered a cheesesteak and tater tots. The cheesesteak was surprisingly delicious! I wasn't sure what to expect but it was great. The tater tots were crispy but had no flavor. Unfortunately it did take a bit to get our food, and our one friend got hers about 15 minutes before the rest of us did. But in their defense, the kitchen is tiny and only has 1 cook. Overall we had a good time and I can see us putting this spot in our rotation.

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.

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!

On the plus side my family enjoyed the ribs and crab balls. On the negative side, the fish in my fish and chips was painfully thin and small. Normally you get a nice chunky piece of fish when you get fish and chips. Not only that, l've never had fish and chips where the skin was on the fish. I left most of the skin behind, but ate some of it because the portion was so small. I had to eat something. Please have the chef look up what fish and chips is supposed to look like. Despite being the only server, our wait person was outstanding - it wasn't their fault that they had to handle the entire dining room. . Also appreciated the carafe of water on the table - but why no ice -had to drink lukewarm water. Make sure to ask for prices upfront and verify-for a single crabcake entrée, we paid $63 when it's advertised online as 30. Let the buyer beware.. Wouldn't feel a need to return at this point, too many other better options.
