Bill Y.

BLUF: it's a nice, casual night out, the cast members work their butts off, and the food is mediocre I went with a large group for a Saturday night show. Up front understand there are two aspects to this review: the food and the show. So consider the details more than the stars. The Show: good, entertaining, and a nice comfortable night out for not a huge price tag. The cast members are also servers, so they really work hard all night, and you can kind of get to know them on a personal level. The downside is that there is no service while the show is on. Recognize the show for what it is: a local show with local cast. Is everyone great? No. Does everyone clearly give their all? Yes. Are there some standouts? For sure. We saw Footloose and the main female characters sounded amazing in harmony. The owner does kind of a hard sell for tipping at the start, which is kind of off putting, but I get why he did it (to support and look out for his cast/servers). So I took that with a grain of salt and yes, we did tip. The Food: not so great. Not bad, but pretty much cafeteria-level food, served buffet-style, with fixed portions. I posted the menu with this review, but also included are a small house salad to start and a small piece of yellow cake for dessert. The salad was a pretty good, typical salad, although they go VERY light on the dressing. The main course was okay, the fish being the biggest disappointment. It looked like they had kept it warm on a steam table, so the batter was mushy instead of crispy. The cake was actually pretty tasty. Water, coffee and iced tea are included. You can buy cocktails as well, and those who got one liked them. If you are vegetarian, or especially if you are vegan, look carefully at the menu and plan accordingly. We had a vegan ask for another salad since she could eat so little of the food, and was told no b/c they make exactly the number of salads as there are seats each night. Again, I get it. They can't send back to the kitchen for another salad, because nobody is in the kitchen anymore, as the cast/servers are all out front serving.

Outstanding performances from local talent. Just saw Misery tonight and so enjoyed the performance. As always the staff was great along with the dinner. Washington County Playhouse is a gem here in Hagerstown.

Our young friends had such fun seeing The Ugly Duckling at The Washington County Playhouse and Children's Theatre!

Overcharging for minimal entertainment, and terrible food. Overall, they out of touch with their customer base.

The food was glorious!!! What a selection. I had the fried plate and my wife had steamed seafood…read moreplate. We couldn't finish it all. Our party had everything from steak to oysters to crab cakes and everyone was happy. Our waitress was exemplary! Great sense of humor and care for us, a party of eight. She took a picture for us that has us laughing a few weeks later. We will be back next time we're in Hagerstown

Visited Shula's for the first time. It is a very nice restaurant specializing in fresh seafood…read more It's a nice place for a date night, birthday or anniversary. Service was excellent. Food came out at just the right pace between courses. Ambience was only "ok"... I did notice that things looked a bit worn. And one thing that bothered me was that there were ceiling tiles that were badly water stained and sagging... nothing active, but it was very unsightly. Given that they are very easy to replace, leaving them there just made the place feel less "special evening" ambience to more like "a diner" which is a shame for a place i expected to be more classy. As for the food we had lots of positives to say. We tried the crab bisque appetizer which was thick and creamy with just the right amount of seasoning and crab meat. The portion for a first course was generous. We also got the steamed mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce. The mussels were cooked perfectly. They were plump, tender and flavorful the sauce was delicious. Be sure to ask for extra bread to soak up some of the broth and juices. The side salads were likewise generous portions, fresh and crisp. Very happy! The main courses come with just one side. I got the fried seafood platter with hushpuppies and my wife got the stuffed flounder with onion rings. The fried platter came with flounder, shrimp and oysters, with tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. All were coated in a lightly seasoned breading that was crisp. Not overly thick. The hushpuppies, which other reviewers said were outstanding, I found to be on the sweet side. Crisp, yes, but overall just ok...I prefer mine more savory than sweet. The stuffed flounder was also very well done. Delicious. The flounder was cooked just right. Flaky and moist. The onion rings were thick cut, beer batter dipped. They were hot and crisp and the portion like everything else here was generous. In the end we did need a box to bring some of our entrees home. We left very satisfied. So I was pretty satisfied with the food and the service. Now if they could just do something to get the dining room as upscale as the food and service this would be an outstanding dining experience... thus only four stars instead of five.
