Multimedia Blog For Deep Creek Lake, Garrett County MD

I am not one who usually favors chain restaurants and all that they have to offer. Thanks to a better swing in the Deep Creek Lake real estate market I was in a hurry and hungry one day. I happened to be passing by the Deep Creek Lake Subway. Located on MD Rt. 219 along the main body of the lake.

Although the ads would lead you to believe that Subway is THE place where all the olympic athletes eat it still is a franchise sub shop at heart. I will not deny that the breads are baked fresh, taste good and smell even better. The condiments and toppings were also equally above par. The meats and cheeses well there could be room for improvement but for the price are more than adequate.

The place was incredibly clean all three of my visits which were in the mud season here at Deep Creek. What really blew my mind was the service. I feel old calling people kids so lets just say they were younger employees. They were kind, courteous and amazingly fast. So good was the service and decent the sub I went back 3 straight days, These employees could take their skills and do better for themselves at other Deep Creek Lake places to eat. Managers of local places to dine could do themselves a favor and find employees like these.

All in all I was very pleased with all experiences at the Deep Creek Lake Subway. I am giving 4.5 out of 5 remembering this is not fine dining rather compared to others in the class.

With three locations in the region Mountain State Brewing Company offers great craft beers. At Deep Creek Lake it also offers slope views and brick oven specialties. Located in McHenry there is plenty of seating available in the dining areas or pull up a bench along the bar. It has a casual laid back feel from the moment you walk through the door. The concrete floor made me hungry for peanuts and shells to toss about.  That was not an option but the vibe. The restroom looked like it could be hosed out and therefore was clean. If you are tall don’t look on the tops of things.

As for the food.. On the first visit it was a burrito exploration. Served with chips and salsa they were all well stuffed with good ingredients. True belly fillers. The favorite of our selection the Loaded Hillbilly.

On a follow up trip I returned solo to try a pizza. No question a wood fired oven bakes a mean pie. An open kitchen is also fun as a diner watching them make your order. As the only person in the place I was a little disappointed that it was 22 minutes until my pizza was started. I had ordered a cup of the soup of the day to tide me over. It was beef vegetable. A little light on both beef and vegetables. I understand that at most places the soup is the profitable trash can for left over ingredients, It was OK but the $7 price tag I thought a bit excessive. When the pizza, er flat bread rather did arrive, the crust was great the ingredients fresh and flavorful. At $20 probably much for a pizza but this was a flat bread.

Service was adequate usually as the only person in a place some attempt is made to engage the customer there was none. Would I go back to eat at the Mountain State Brewing Company at Deep Creek Lake? I think i would for a burrito.
