De'd Dog Bar & Grill

Loved the name of this place and it had good reviews online. We found a table easily but were disappointed with the beer selection and the service. Having worked in the service industry I can certainly appreciate good service when I come across it - there were 8 other people in the restaurant and service was slow and unfriendly. The microwaved artichoke dip was nice but something I could make at home. Go elsewhere in Jasper because there are better places around!

We walked in as the name was the selling point for us first timers to Jasper. We found a table near the bar where we sat for a few minutes and the bar tender gave us menus and walked away. She went behind the bar and continued her side duties as we sat there for 5 minutes without any acknowledgement. We watched her listen into conversations to the people already served at the bar and neglected to even look at us. The establishment had about 12 people in it. I don't even think she noticed us get up and leave. I've been in the hospitality industry for a long time and I understand when people are busy, service may lack. At the end of it all, we took our business elsewhere and tipped the server/bartender who had a fairly full place 30%.

Food came out fast. Shepherds Pie was delish! Servers were friendly and talkative. Belly full. Great price. Friendly staff. Worth a go! Thanks!!

We walked in to have a look at the place and the only visible staff member walked right by us without any type of greeting or asking if wanted anything to drink or eat. There was only one person sitting at the bar and a couple of people sitting at a table. We decided to leave and check out some other spot nearby. After walking around we decided to give the place a try because the other places were so busy. Upon returning to the Dead Dog, we sat ourselves at a table located about 10 feet from the bar. There was a few more full tables by this time and still the same waitress/bartender on duty. We sat waiting to be acknowledged for about 15 minutes when the waitress finally slid a couple menus to us and left without asking if we even wanted food or if we wanted anything to drink. Another 10 minutes passed and she returned to take our orders. We ordered a french onion soup and a couple of cocktails. The drinks and soup arrived in a reasonable time although the french onion soup tasted like a can of chicken soup with a half melted cheese slice on top (see photo). Based on reading the other reviews and the handful of responses by owner, Oliver Andrew, It is clear that there are major management issues. Oliver even goes so far to insult someone who left a bad review based on their screen name. To summarize; sub-par food, horrendous service...don't waste your time.

Called in for a drink as we were passing. The manager was friendly and chatty, as was the guy we talked to whilst sat at the bar. Relaxed atmosphere, great place to have a beer and chill out.
