Devone's Family Tavern & Restaurant

Confused how to rate this, because the food deserves 4.5 stars alone.  The prices are high for a dive bar, and since everything is made-to-order, the food takes a long time to cook.  So, I'll meet half-way with 3 stars, "A-OK!"  

We arrived Sunday afternoon, the place was empty.  Very dive-bar atmosphere, but lots of TVs around the bar which is cool.  Drinks were good, the bartender, V, was really cool and down to earth.

Food was amazingly delicious for this type of bar, but that explains why the prices are so high.  the SEAFOOD BISQUE is some of the best soup ever, MUST try ($10 cup, bowl was $15-ish?)!  Jumbo lump scallops, loaded with lump crab meat, and jumbo shrimp.  So delicious, add a sprinkle of old bay for some extra flavor!  I also had the open faced roast pork w/ fries & slaw ($13, $15 w/ baked potato).  The gravy on the pork was delicious, the pork was tender and melts in your  mouth.  The full-pound burgers are enormous, split it with a friend, or get the "Jr. burger."  The chicken cheesesteak was also huge, looked yummy.  Sandwiches are $9-$15, and entrees are more like $20-$30 a plate.

Overall, great place for dive bar with great food.  I would recommend slashing prices a bit, and making the portions smaller.  No one needs to eat those huge portion sizes!   Also, don't come in a hurry, food takes forever to cook.

I liked this place, I would definitely go back.

It is a little pricy for just a casual bar. My husband got a sausage sandwich that was huge. He said it was ok/good. Not great but a decent size sandwich. I got the gnocchis which weren't cooked all the way. I had to ask them to take them back. I don't believe they did anything to them they came out still hard. They were able to be eaten but they should've been softer. I had the seafood bisque. It had good taste & the broth had good consistency but there wasn't much in it. They brought a pasta salad sampler to the table in these little mini cups. That pasta wasn't cooked all the way either but the flavoring was good. The garlic bread was really garlicy but good. Overall not a bad meal but it's really dingy inside.....needs to be spruced up. Plus the wait time was a little long for the meal as well as the beer not super cold. So if they just put the finishing touches on this place could be great!!

The seafood bisque is the absolute best in the area. The food here is really really good. The bar area is a little small but its a cool place to go heading back from the shore.
