JG’s Pub

Get the cheese steak… DAYUM!!! ITS HUGH…
Place has limited hours otherwise would be 5 star… not able to catch football on Sunday’s here that SUX

Great Deep Creek bar. Favored by locals but enjoyed by all. NOT fancy but food and drinks are great. Wings, cheese steaks are outstanding. We have never had a bad meal. Warning, this is a family owned place with long time staff. Don’t plan or expect to be in and out in 20 minutes. Service is harried but acceptable. You gotta open your mouth (in a nice way) to make sure your beers are replenished because these folks run!!! Highly recommended. Sit back and hang with those of us who live here more then a weekend a year.

We love this bar/​restaurant! The servers are friendly and efficient! And the food is tremendous!!! You can tell it’s home cooked and they take pride in what they give you.
Sometimes it’s packed and sometimes it’s not but either way you get the same service and the same quality. They have TVs for watching games, a pool table and a jukebox … everything you want for a fun night out!

Casual and Good! Friendly service.
We stopped in on a Friday night at the end of October. The pub was about half full, we seated ourselves and were greeted promptly.
The menu was very much like a typical pub menu with all the offerings you might expect.
Our server mentioned the nightly special «an Italian casserole», my wife ordered it. It contained meatballs, Italian sausage, peppers, onions, pepperoni, zucchini in a marinara sauce. She thought it was very good.
I ordered the cheese steak wedge after reading the prior reviews. It was just as advertised. It was fully loaded with tender steak, sweet peppers and onions, mushrooms. Topped with cheese, lettuce and jalapeños if you so desired. I could not finish it. It really is big enough to share.
Pint of draft was $ 2.20, house wine $ 3.47, fair enough.
We would certainly return!

Came into the restaurant on Friday night around 8. It was pretty full, it is seat yourself which we found out by asking a patron as no one spoke to us and there were no signs. We were lucky to find a 4 top. We got wings and brews. They had Sam Adams seasonal on tap so that was good. The wings were soooo good! We got mild and old bay. Both were delish!
For dinner we ordered the «balls in a bowl», pizza, cheesesteak, and steak salad. Everything was very good.

Not a fan. Waited a long time to find the time to go and check this place out and was disappointed. Admittedly, I only had a draft and left. A lot of reviews seem to rate it highly on food and I did not have anything to eat. I didn’t give it the «Ol’ college try» but probably won’t go back.

4* for their cheese-​steak sandwich & BBQ pulled pork, which is all I had tried. 3.5* overall rating for food/service/cleanliness/atmosphere/parking…mainly due to being overlooked upon arrival unless you’re a local. The ‘TV issue’ previously posted seemed to be fixed, flat screen over fireplace seemed good! The cheese-​steak sandy is as good as everyone here says, we tried it based on Unilocal & were not disappointed. Place has an old ski lodge feel, relaxing & fairly quiet unless the place is really packed. Do not come in expecting to be greeted & seated, so unless you seat yourself you’ll be standing at the entry waiting to be greeted till the end of time. Just roll in & grab any empty table or bar stool, food can be had sitting at the bar. Drinks are very reasonable priced at $ 3.67/ea (beer/​mixed). The steak sandwich is very good value for the price, packed with thinly sliced melt-​in-​your-​mouth steak & all the fixins if you want (onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc) & covered with melted cheese, then the good soft canoe-​hogie-​bread is lightly heated but does not crack & literally hugs the sandwich with love & keeps all the fixins IN the sandwich. Upon cutting the sandwich in half, my knife went thru it like butter & I knew the steak was gonna be tender. We’ve been back for their famous cheese-​steak multiple times & its a winner every time! They had no problem substituting cole slaw for a nice sized dinner side salad for me. Warning: don’t get in the 1 waitresses way upon entering the lodge, she’s ‘coming thru’ believe me you me, & she has no problem announcing that fact. Nice friendly service otherwise while ordering & eating, just absolutely no acknowledgement you’ve entered the establishment upon arrival (unless you’re a local)…as we observed while there.

Eat here! it is that simple. Cheesesteaks to die for, the best and almost only crab cake in the county. Crab soup that taste like I am at the shore. Steaks are tender and juicy. Wings are hot and crispy. In short you can’t go wrong here. The beer is fair priced and is of a good selection. The service is good too. The owners, Kate and Fred, are part of the experience and make sure you have a good time. If you are feeling crazy and have a DD, try some of the house made Freddy Juice.

Local hometown little pub with some solid eats. We had the buffalo chicken salad and the pub salad — both great portions and fresh produce. The crab soup was very hearty with big chunks of crab and vegetables. I probably would have added a bit more Old Bay, but that’s just my preference. Nothing overly fancy but a tasty meal after a cold day of snowshoeing. Would definitely return for a beer and a snack.

This is a great place to hang and have a few beers and some pub food. Great steak and cheese sub — huge and tasty. I’ve been fortunate enough to have been at the lake the last 2 St. Patty’s Days and their dinner special that day is awesome! Corned beef and cabbage and potatoes or a Rueben. Very tasty.
Prices are great and service is pretty good. They could use a couple big screen TVs though. The one over the fire place is going bad and they have a couple other tube TVs from the 80s I think. Hardly watchable.

I’ve been driving past this bar for years, since I was a youngin’ on family vacations in Deep Creek, actually. Now that I’m old enough to stand at the bar, I stopped in for a few deliciously frosty beers and some bar nibbles. It’s divey, but in the best possible way. Worth a stop on the way back from rock hopping at Swallow Falls, that’s for sure!

Great steak hoagie!!! One of the best I’ve had. Big enough for two people to share but hard once you get a taste!
