Stopped in on a Sunday late afternoon. Decent draft selection. Strong mixed drink. Food was fresh and fast. Very dog friendly year round. We'll definately return. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Ample parking in the rear.

I've been a regular at the Broad Axe since moving to Hagerstown one year ago. While I love the location and the atmosphere, the service leaves something to be desired. This place has great bands on the weekend and a nice patio. The food is...standard pub grub at a reasonable price. The draft beer selection is also nice. My big complaint, however, is the service. Whether the place is busy or slow, service always seems to be slow. The staff never seems to be welcoming and I had a horrible experience with the bartender, Kelly, this evening. She ruined my takeaway order this evening and actually blamed me for her mistakes. Most of the staff seems very unhappy and they primarily cater to local people and friends. It is not a welcoming environment for travellers or people new to town. I keep giving this establisment multiple chances, but there are other nice bars in the area which are more welcoming. The consistent neglect and poor treatment by a couple of members of the Broad Axe staff leads me to recommend nearby spots such as AVA, 28 South, Hempen Hill, or Benny's. With so many new choices in town, I prefer to spend my time and money where I feel welcomed.More

We tried it for the first time during quarantine, and we were very happy! Food isn't always as good when you take it home, but it was just as hot & perfect when we got it home as it would have been in the restaurant.

Finally a new owner, refurbished dining area and great menu. Meet there regularly with a large group of friends for conversation, drinks and food. A lot if fun, good wait staff, everyone very friendly!

When a group of friends were going to meet to begin a 10 day vacation. 5 of us decided that Hagerstown would be a good place to meet to travel together for part of the trip. Another friend recommended the Broad Axe. What a good...choice! We were there early afternoon so we had lunch. The food was delicious. We had several different things and everyone liked what they ordered. The owner and his helpers were very friendly. The building has been historically revamped and looks great as well as being very clean. It is a bar as well. We all would highly recommend it and even though we live a few hours away, we discussed that fact that we would probably make a trip again for something different to do.More

The atmosphere here is really friendly. You feel like you have gone there for ever the very first time you walk in and - - - the food is really good. Can't beat it!

They did a great job on the remodel food is very good, you won't be disappointed, Broad Axe has been around a long time and the new owners have made it what it use to be.

The waitstaff was fine. They knew the menu. But the food was below average. Soggy, burnt tasting fries, no flavor to the Cajun seasoned pickles. cheesesteak was pretty good

If you are looking for a great place to kick back and relax with your friends and a cold one, you will also enjoy what the menu has to offer. The patio is a great way to wind down after a long week, and pre-COVID...they usually have live entertainment every weekend. Love this place. As a local, I recommend it as one of my favorites.More

Stopped in on a Sunday evening and were pleasantly surprised. We ordered sandwiches with fries and drinks. Food was freshly prepared served hot and the server was the manager. Great service and good food. We will return.

Went for lunch, had the muenster bacon burger and the half sand & soup entrees. Both were excellent, the burger was flavorful and or so moist - best burger that I've had in a long time. we were so pleased that we back the next...week for an early dinner. Had the Rueben sandwich and the cheesesteak sandwich. Again, our meals were excellent. Extremely pleased and will go back soon!More

As a fellow restauranteur I always seek out a local place to eat and drink. The Broad Axe was absolutely fantastic. The owner Bob and his brother, who is the general manager, greeted everyone that came into the door as if they were regulars including...us who have never been there. We sat and had a great dinner & drinks. Try the catfish nuggets, they were perfect. Hope yo see you at 1794 sometime this summer.More
