Buckeystown Pub

When you need a dive bar, a friendly smile, a cold beer and/​or ourdoor seating in the good weather, go check it out. Great fries!

Nice place overall… went to see the Bodine Brothers play and as usual they were awesome.

I have been several times and while the food is decent the service is AWFUL and the staff is rude. Every time! One waitress particularly who is serving the outside is slow and is very impatient. She looks at you like you have a problem. She seems like she would rather socialize than work. So rude. We would love a better experience considering a group of my friends and I regularly tube down the river and park at Buckeystown park which is right down the street. My husband and I also like stoping in when we are out riding our motorcycle but if service stays the same we are boycotting along with all of our friends b/​c we all share the same experience.

Worst service I’ve ever had hands down! I ordered the ½ lb steamed shrimp. 10 mins later after my bf was almost done his food the waitress says mine takes 20 mins. So 45 mins and counting and some unfilled beers later still no food for me. Waitress was blonde about 50 yrs old. Spent more time watching tv. We asked if shrimp was ready and she said it takes long because they have to boil the water.

Ate here with my parents when I came to visit. The atmosphere was clean and rustic. The service was good, as was the beer. The food was serviceable, but not great. I had the curry half chicken, which was decent, but a little under seasoned. My impression of the food was that the cook was focusing more on being original than good. Overall good experience, but the food just underwhelmed.

Have lived in the area for 5 years and had never been to his place. Was told it was a dump and had heard a few not-​so-​great jokes about the place, so I’ve avoided it.
Went there this afternoon to watch some football and had a great experience. Cold beer, hot food and good service. Great place to watch a game. It’s your typical blue collar neighborhood bar. It is what it is. Had a great time, I would definitely go back without hesitation.

OK I know this is a local comfy hangout. I know that folks have to smoke SOMEWHERE, but even outdoors, under the covered patio, the smoke was absolutely horrible (they had turned the fans off for whatever reason.) even as a former smoker, the stench was really overwhelming.
the food (we had the crab cake platter) was generous and a bit above average– lots of meat in the crab cakes, real fries (not fake crap), the cole slaw was creamy and not drippy. The hush puppies– a bit too greasy– maybe sat in oil too long after being pulled out of the deep fryer?. as for the beer: if you like the usual blah American brews– they are here and fairly priced. if you want something a bit richer or full bodied, good luck. Only Fat Tire even came close and u had to go to the indoor bar to get it.
At the indoor bar, some female blond bartender REALLY sucked and had an attitude about it… well, that’s ok because the tip we left reflected that we had to stand there for 12 minutes to get a bottle of beer (and we were not the only ones).
The owner should have stopped schmoozing (Dick Johnson) and gone indoors to help his bar staff, especially on such a crazy busy night. as an aside, we were not the only patrons who were pissed off about Blondie’s crappy attitude and service…
if anyone knows the owner well, please drop him a BIG hint…

This little joint is really nice a taste of old Frederick for sure!
