    a basket of pulled pork and a sandwich
    Diana V.

    The food was pretty good, the Mac & Cheese was delicious, we ordered Brisket and Ribs. Customer Service was amazing, we'll def be coming back.

    I sometimes wonder if I lived in a world without Yelp, whether I would just mostly dine at corporate restaurant chains or stick with the same places I dine at all the time without ever venturing outside of my culinary comfort zone. Thankfully, we don't live in a Yelp-free world, and it continues to serve as a valuable resource to help me find hidden gems and I likewise, do the same by sharing cool places I come across. Charles Town, WV is not generally regarded as a "culinary hotbed". As a amusing anecdote, when we stopped into the Visitor's Center, one of the folks even said, "well, if you're looking for things to do, there isn't much here". So after visiting the various Civil War landmarks such as the courthouse where John Brown was convicted of treason and also the cemetery which serves as the final resting place for many of George Washington's relatives, my Yelp app suggested going to TeeDawg's for some awesome BBQ. This is a relatively new BBQ joint which has only been open since September 2018, but they are quickly building a local and regional following. One of the friendly staff, Courtni, explained that TeeDawgs started out as just a catering operation (and they still do extensive catering gigs), but once word of mouth spread, they set up shop at this prime spot along Washington Street in downtown Charles Town, and the business has been steadily growing. If I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times, but there is just something in the DNA of the pit masters in the South which enables them to "do BBQ right". If you're going to visit TeeDawgs, do it on the weekends, since that's the only time they prepare ribs. And don't waste your time with the 1/2 rack, go all the way with the full rack. All of the meats are dry rubbed and then slow smoked for hours...and that's one of the predominate flavor profiles in the meats - SMOKE! The ribs were meaty and definitely "fall of the bone" tender; you really don't even need a fork to extract the bones, just a bit of pressure. And what you immediately notice is that bark and smoke ring around the meat. Mmmm...it's good. The brisket sandwich was tasty, but I did find that some of the pieces were a bit too fatty. And having once lived in the epicenter of beef brisket aficionados (Austin, TX), I understand that brisket needs some fat to keep it moist as it smokes, but still I think a bit of trimming before serving to customers would help. Sides were delicious! The mac n' cheese tasted like it had a combo of different cheeses, instead of just the generic florescent orange American variety and the slaw was nice and crunchy without too much mayo. Big plus with the house made BBQ sauces. My favorites were the Oh my Gawd sweet and Hot and the Alabama White sauce. I am a sucker for BBQ sauces which are both sweet and spicy, and this version has the right amount of heat to amp up the flavor. The only other time I've had a white style BBQ sauce is when I visited this place - https://www.yelp.com/biz/fatmans-smokehouse-bbq-montgomery-2 - during a business trip to Montgomery, AL a few years ago. White BBQ sauce is a uniquely Southern concoction which has some mayo, vinegar, horse radish, and a whole bunch of other savory herbs. All I know is, it's great to dip your smoked meats. Didn't get anything to drink other than water and ice tea since I had a long drive back to DC, but the prices of the draft beers are also pretty good. Check their board for daily specials and what they're pouring that day. If you're in the area either to view the historical sites or to visit the casino, do yourself a favor and skip the national chain eateries and fast food joints, and stop here for some authentic BBQ.

    This is the worst BBQ place we have all been to, ever. They literally reheat 100% of the food you order. We ordered the beef brisket, pulled pork, and pulled chicken platters. For $12-14 a platter and $2 for a drink we were astonished how terrible this food was. Bland, no taste, greasy, watery, fatty, and chunky would be words to describe all of this food. There's no way you make this food in 2 minutes, which is how fast we got all of our food. & the leftovers reheat really shows. & how they made baked beans gross is beyond me. I'd rather have a mcrib from McDonald's than this food.

    Brisket is really good. They used to give you more but it's seems like they cut back on how much they give you.

    came here for dinner twice while staying at the Inn for a little getaway. everything was very tasty…read moreand well made. they have unique dishes on the menu which makes for an interesting dining experience. service was excellent too. the tables are in the main house of the Inn which is a really old and quaint building. the decor is so beautiful. our first night our table was in front of a wood burning fireplace which was lit and tended to by our waitress. this place is completely off the beaten path and in the middle of nowhere. if we were ever in the area again, we would definitely stop by. also, the restaurant serves a fantastic breakfast which is only open to guests at the Inn.

    We stayed at the Inn for 3 nights, during which time we had 3 breakfasts and 1 dinner here. The…read morebreakfasts were included with our stay, and were very nice - 2 courses each with juice and coffee. We agreed they were definitely worth the $30ish tab for 2 they would have been if we weren't guests of the inn. The dinner we had was good, but not amazing. There was only one choice available for the first two courses, and two for the main course. We don't eat pork so we both had scallops for dinner. The first two courses (a gazpacho and shrimp+grits kind of deal) were both good, but it was really the scallops that won us over; they were delicious. The cheese plate for dessert had 1 kind of cheese, and we were disappointed there were no dessert options involving chocolate. Overall, we had a nice meal, but didn't really think it warranted the $250 we spent.

    Stopping in for dinner on our drive home from a family trip. There was something for everyone-…read moremeatloaf platter, soup/salad, French dip and kids chicken finger meal, and a slice of smith island cake to share. Jack was our server and he had a sweet young lady shadowing him in training. Service was friendly, prompt and knowledgeable. The meatloaf was well seasoned and had been griddled and covered in gravy with homestyle mashed (with small lumps.) The chicken and dumplings soup was well seasoned and with big chunks of chicken and carrots. Our small person was delighted that she could swap her fries for mash and had her choice of gravies. The teen was defeated by the enormous French dip and fries. He practically drank the au jus. Everyone was full until they heard there was a smith island cake (many thin layered cake with chocolate icing and white chocolate curls. Three forks made quick work of the big slice. We would happily stop in on our next time thru town.

    When I first moved to town around 8 years ago I had to try the Mountain View Diner because everyone…read moresaid it was the best place around. They lied. I had breakfast, lunch, and dinner here. They were all terrible. And the interior was trashed. Did not revisit for 8 years. Had heard its been thru several new managers and owners. Out of boredom and curiosity I went back. It was worth the trip. The interior still looks ratty, but they did install cute modern hanging lamps. The food has improved considerably. I had the Monty Rey chicken which I suspect is what they call their Monterrey chicken. Probably about a pound of meat smothered in cheese and BBQ sauce, which is not something I would normally order but they made it sound good, and it was. Came with a big pile of rice that also did not taste terrible. And a very short cob of corn and an OK but not great bowl of broccoli cream soup. Dessert was a generic slice of cake with cheap orange frosting. Not terrible, not good. Will never order it again. Service started rocky. The hostess was constantly busy with phone orders. And all the wait staff ignored me and the patient but unhappy lady in front of me. And the place was not busy, either, just managed poorly. Once I got seated they took good care of me, and apparently did well with the nice lady too. James was always checking on me and got everything I needed. My only real complaint is for some odd reason both the salt and pepper had a very strange odor to them. Not the shakers, the condiments themselves. That was weird. Never smelled that in any restaurant before in my life. Overall I was happy and since things appear to be running better, I will make return trips. Definitely not going back to any of the chain restaurants in town.
