Second time at Deer Park and the food and service both times have been great. Love the old historic building vibe. Menu is ample with many different dishes from apps, salads, sandwiches and entrees. Food is consistently delicious. Outdoor porch seating is great on a warm day.

Had a great time at the Deer Park last Sunday for brunch - Our server Victoria was amazing! Enjoyed the bloody mary bar (lots of choices and only $5! Then the big breakfast was unreal: Eggs, tater tots, french toast and I chose bacon but they even had scrapple. Highly recommend!!!

Stopped here for a late lunch with my husband and daughter while traveling. I had the turkey burger with sweet potato fries. My daughter had a burger with French fries. And my husband had the smoked salmon BLT with tater tots. The turkey burger was average but the sweet potato fries were probably the best I ever had. My daughter's burger was very good but her fries were cold. My husband's sandwich was good but his tater tots had a very odd flavor. He sent the tater tots back thinking there was something wrong with them, but the fresh batch tasted strange also. The service and atmosphere was decent which increased the rating. The kitchen closes from 2p-3p so they can prepare for the transition from lunch to dinner.

My mother and i had dinner here saturday evening and were so happy with our experience. Our server Aiden was truly incredible, if we find ourselves in the area again we'd love to request him as our server. The food was amazing, i had the short rib grilled cheese and my mother had the mahi tacos. They were able to modify the tacos to accomodate a gluten intolerance, putting it on a bed or cilantro rice rather than a tortilla. It turned out beautiful and everything was delicious. We also got espresso martinis that were really well done.

Yes, this is a college bar, but the food is absolutely stellar! The service was quick and on point. You will have to listen to loud music no matter where you are in the bar. We had the potstickers, the Berry Salad, and the Braised short rib with garlic potatoes and asparagus. Prices are fair and park8ng is free. The best part? There was everyone from freshman students to elderly couples, and the staff took great care of everyone. We will definitely be coming back.
