    I've gone here a few times and the food is always pretty decent. Love the French onion soup, the burgers and the sandwiches are pretty decent. One day it was still fairly quiet and the fries were a bit burned, which was disappointing as they weren't even busy. Overall a good place to eat. I'd say the variety on the menu is the best thing about eating here!

    The all-you-can-eat crab legs were absolutely amazing! The wait staff was outstanding, and I loved that they had a separate bar area.

    We celebrated our daughter in laws birthday on Oct. 20, 2025 and it was the first time any of us (6 adults and a baby) had been to this location. The food was great and the service was excellent! I wish I could remember our servers name; she was fantastic! We look forward to our next visit.

    We have to Dunmire’s several times when we visit the area and have always enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance. However, today we were disappointed- I had a Greek chicken sandwich which was good until I took a bite that had a bit of hard plastic in it. The server offered to ask the kitchen for something else, but at that point my appetite was gone. She didn’t offer to comp that item on the bill or anything else- just shared that something must have broken in the kitchen. I know these things happen, but the response was very disappointing and thus we will likely not be back.
