STAGS Tavern — Restaurant in Village of Germantown

We continue to read good reviews from Stags and the Food we have had was good. Service is a different story; I have been there with other people three times, two for lunch and once for diner, and each time the service was not good. The final one was last night. We arrived about 6 o'clock and the hostess stated it would be a little wait. No big deal, even though it was busy we found two seats at the bar for a drink while we waited. Bartender was wonderful and we got drinks quickly even though the bar was busy. After about 15 minutes we were notified that our table was ready. Walked up and the host seemed un-prepared for us even though we were notified the table was ready. She proceeded to seat us in the back room where there was a group of about 20 people who had not ordered yet. There was also a table of two next to us and a table of about 6 behind us. Both servers in the area repeatedly visit the other tables while we sat there for over 15 minutes without being acknowledged. The one server then started taking the order for the table of 20. We left. That was our final straw for this place. Three strikes and you're out. There were other tables of 4 available in the bar area but apparently saving those for groups of 4 is more important than providing...

I was here to watch the NASCAR race and unfortunately it had a new owner that remodeled it it away from the NASCAR thing which sucks! The remodeling job was great first class though The downside was I was in and purchased $62 worth of drinks for the people in there because I spread my money around. When the tab came due I laid down 4 20s to pay the bill and did not any change back of course and I brought it up with the person working there a female and she refused she told me she gave me my money back which was a lie! So I don't give bad reviews very often I would stay away from this place until they get rid of that...

Love that this place has new owners, a face-lift, and such friendly service! What a change from before! Bravo! I have to say, the new staff makes all the difference. We haven't tried the full menu, but haven't been disappointed, yet. We like to play the machines and I have to say, they are tight. Lol I won't hold that against the place, just an observation. Then again, we take the risk! 🫣 All else is fantastic and the pricing on drinks and food, is a bonus. Feels like a place you can afford to swing into on...
