It was my first visit. Girls night with friends. The atmosphere is very nice. It's kinda rustic and comfortable but in a classy way. The bar area is very nice also. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The salmon was delish and the blackberry cobbler...OMG. The wine and liquor selection is quite complete and I had a lovely cocktail. Will definitely return with my hubby soon - 2/08/2024

We always have great service & the food never disappoints! We have been going to DeShas for 30 years. Whether it’s a special occasion or a Saturday afternoon, “Let’s grab lunch in the bar”, it’s a great go to place & we love that they take reservations! - 2/07/2024

Hadn’t been here in years. Was looking forward to it, but it was meh. I ordered the biscuit &3- goetta, fruit, & scrambled eggs. The eggs were like those you get at Frisch’s breakfast bar. One piece of goetta. Just not worth it. Our server was great! - 2/05/2024

5 star rating Haven't been here for years, but we went for a birthday dinner and glad we did. We both had prime rib which was perfectly prepared, rare for my wife and medium for me, and the price was quite reasonable. We will be back! - 2/02/2024

The whole experience was made simple, straightforward and efficient. We had a Celebration of Life luncheon there and were very impressed by the professionalism of the event-planning representative (Tina), the host and the staff. Our needs were anticipated by our servers, making it worry free. The food was very good, hot and ample amounts were served. Real butter was tremendously appreciated since some of us follow low carb. The dessert tray was fun and enjoyed. Guests were given to-go boxes to use to take some of the leftovers home. That was a lovely touch and appreciated by guests. When the staff saw us rearranging the tables, they did not hesitate to jump in to help. The restrooms were spotless and a nice quiet pace to get away from the need to socialize for a few minutes. I would definitely book an event here again. - 1/31/2024

Deha's is usually my "go to" place but this time we had a bad start. Three of us went for a birthday celebration and we started off with our drinks. The one drink was a manhatten ordered."up" (without ice). It arrived full of ice. The other two drinks were hot drinks--irish coffees and were served at cool temperatures. The good news is that our server took all three back and quickly returned with the accurate orders. After that everything else was perfect. The meals and appetizers were served perfectly. All was forgiven and we decided we definitely will return.. - 1/27/2024

4 star rating Had a great time at deSha's. We had a large party that they were able to accommodate. Service was a little slow, but our waitress was very nice. They did lose one of our orders so they all didn't come out at the same time: The ambiance is very warm and cozy. I got the prime rib pretzel bun and loved it. The meat was very tender and I loved the dip that came with it. We ordered a few apps and they were just ok. I did not personally have the French onion soup, but it came highly recommended by two people in my party. - 1/27/2024

My job has hosted its 20 year service anniversary luncheon for the past 2 years and it has been an amazing experience all around. The atmosphere is cozy and very classic decor, from white linen, fireplaces and high wooden ceilings. Its like a cozy cabin. The food is delicious and the staff are so nice and very accommodating. I've worked with Tina and she is great! Her communication is on point and she makes sure that if there are any dietary restrictions, that they are on top of it! If you are going to eat or hosting a big event, this is your place! Looking forward to the next time! - 1/17/2024

Meeting a friend for dinner and drinks. We had reservations and were seated by the host and greeted at our table by several people. We were offered beverages right away. Our server greeted us shortly after that asking for our drink order. His name was Matt and he was pleasant, very professional and knowledgeable about the specials. He was attentive and gave us time to chat before ordering our entrees. Our entree was served promptly and was hot and delicious. We had the pasta dish. The portions are nice. I would recommend deSha’s to my friends and family. - 1/17/2024

I had the blackened grouper over angel hair pasta and a cream sauce. I had to ask for additional parmesan, as I did not care for the sauce. The grouper was a sizeable filet and delicious. He had the meatloaf. He said it was just ok. For the cost, it was essentially a 1/2 lb hamburger. Not outstanding, and he wouldn't order it again for $20. Service, once they got around to us, was pretty good. 'Alaina' was nice. We sat in the bar area, they were not busy, and it still took her close to 10 minutes to even approach us. Atmosphere and the corn bread is what keeps me a returning patron. - 1/02/2024

The quiche is always delicious. The potato soup wasn't what I expected. More like a cream of potato skin. Didn't fare for it at all. Had an 8 year old who wanted a child's burger and fries. Brought our cheese burger. Server took it back and we had to wait a while before the child received her food. That should have been first on the server's list. Didn't ask if we wanted desert, just brought checks. Not the best meal this time - 12/22/2023

4 star rating Enjoyed our dining experience here. Very nice, sort of Old School restaurant that was very large but divided into multiple rooms to seem more intimate. Service was very good -- I couldn't get past a half full glass without waitress bringing refill. I had the panko fish with fries which was not bad. My wife had the Mac n cheese with pulled pork that she loved. Serving sizes were very large and not expensive. I was just a bit disappointed in drink prices. I believe $12 for a mixed drink is too much. My wife got the Jack Frost drink and enjoyed it, while I declined. If drinks would have been $8 or $9 we would have had more. Overall, a good experience. - 12/11/2023

Went for a work get together for about an hour. Service was great, entrance greeters were nice and very helpful, even opened the door for me, the appetizers were so good we ordered more for the group. I was surprised how many people were already there on a work day afternoon, so other people know how good deSha's is too! Parking: Lots of parking with multiple businesses in the area Wheelchair accessibility: There is a covered entrance which is helpful when being dropped off, especially if there is inclement weather. If one parks and uses a wheelchair, there is some distance to deal with plus one has to cross a car lane to get to the entrance. - 12/10/2023

My wife and I worked with Tina (Event Manager) to organize our wedding reception dinner in the Nicholson's Room at DeSha's. We could not have asked for a more gracious, caring, meticulous and friendly team in Tina and the service staff at DeSha's. The planning, guidance, advice, timely responses to questions, flexibility, and quality of the food and hospitality were top notch. The staff were also very accommodating when a few of our guests arrived late due to car issues, as well dietary restrictions. The end product was an extremely memorable, fun, enjoyable event for the ages. We had an impeccable wedding experience and hope to be back there for future occasions! - 11/15/2023

my friend and I went to deSha's for an enjoyable lunch, and since it was a cool, rainy day, decided to eat indoors. We had a comfortable booth with an enjoyable view of the lake. We ordered something different and decided to try the margarita pizza they had as an appetizer. We asked if we could include slices of grilled chicken on the margarita pizza to which they absolutely agreed to doing. It really was delicious! And we would definitely order it again.

Our family has been eating at deSha's for more than a decade and I'm happy to say that the quality has remained consistent all along. The two-tier dining system is actually pretty smart as they're able to serve two different clienteles under one roof. We're always on the bar side and the staff is always outgoing, friendly, and professional. Can't go wrong with the fish and chips and tomato soup, but there's a lot of great options on the menu. Kid-friendliness: We often eat there with our daughter. There's a good kids menu and the staff is great with children. - 10/15/2023

I gave a bridal shower luncheon this past weekend at DeSha’s in one of their private rooms. I took decorations for my tables and some balloons. When I arrived, tables were all set up beautifully. I brought in theme decorated cupcakes for my dessert table. The food I selected was prepared perfectly, and the wait staff were outstanding.

the Best Fish and Chips in the U.S. was really damned good. The fish was flavorful, the breading was crispy and tasty. the chips (fries) were really nicely done and matched up quite well with the fish. I was not a fan of the Bourbon Raisin Bread Pudding. it was undercooked and the bourbon icing was too strong. I will definitely be ordering here more often. This was ordered off of door dash for this review. - 10/15/2023

5 star rating The positives of deSha's are that the quality of food and preparation is excellent, especially given that most prices are moderate, and service is really good and competent. The "turnoffs" for some might be that the clientele tends to be elderly, and the decor consists of very dark wood, so deSha's lacks a strong upbeat vibe. I consider it to be a good place for a business lunch or a date night where you don't want an obtrusive atmosphere. Their buffet service for events is excellent. A lot of restaurants today seem to have consistency and quality of service issues - deSha's remains consistent and reliable in 2023. - 10/06/2023

Had five cocktails: Special Sangria, lemon/lavender martini, two rye Old Fashions, Manhattan. All very, very good. Service was okay. Overall a bit pricey for Happy Hour - excellent on the food items, little high on drinks relative to other places. - 10/02/2023

We always enjoy eating on the patio and the relaxed environment. Food is good and it's just an overall good experience. We always enjoy the cornbread that is brought out before the meal and I especially like the Hot Brown. It's hard to even find a Hot Brown on the menu at restaurants. - 9/25/2023

Went here for lunch on a Sunday. Sunday seems to be extraordinarily popular. Service was a tad slow at the beginning, but Curtis volunteered to be our server and everything went swimmingly the rest of our stay. I ordered the “Pub” fish and chips. The fish dish is from DeSha’s sister restaurant in Rookwood. It is the best. Guinness rated it the best in the USA. My guests all had brunch items and liked them very much. - 9/13/2023

5 star rating A Very Nice Outdoor Dining Experience We went on a Saturday evening and the weather was perfect so we opted for a table out on the deck which turned out o be a great choice. A small Fish & Chips ($14), a small salad ($6.50) and a Pub Fish & Chips ($20) plus two glasses of wine ($16) was $61 with tax. The Pub fish was much larger, hence the higher price. The food was cooked perfectly and the service was outstanding. Some reviewers complained about the loud band music but the evening we were there had two acoustic instrument players. They have lots of indoor seating and a full bar. There is also a party room in the back for larger groups or special occasions. Free parking in the adjacent shopping center lot. Definitely recommended. - 8/22/2023

We wanted to thank you and your staff for an amazing event for our small wedding! I don’t remember the names of the two servers dedicated to our space, but they were phenomenal! Very attentive to all of our guests and we’re so helpful with small things, such as closing the doors behind us when we did our little ceremony, etc. We as well as many of our guests raved about the food. The Tuscan chicken, especially got rave reviews! We were so pleased that our guests and ourselves could take home the leftover food. The servers did a great job, boxing up our cake, and all of the implements for us to take with us! Thank you again!

My friendand I went for an early light dinner as we weren't that hungry. The server Katie was so wonderful in greeting us and getting our drink orders. They served the most delicious wine from Portugal called Silk and Spice. My friend ordered a Manhatten which Im told was excellent. when it came time to order our food I ordered a chopped salad which was more than filling and very delicious. The waitress had recommended the house mushroom soup which my friend got to sample before ordering. It was delicious and that also came with a side salad. we actually stayed for a couple of hours and never felt rushed and knew our server was available when needed. Our view from our booth was the Lake with a fountain surrounded with beautiful greenery, very calming. We both definitely recommend DeSha's! - 8/10/2023

4 star rating Ate here for lunch yesterday with a group of 5. I had a chopped salad, loaded potato soup and the meat loaf dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans. Plus bread pudding for dessert. Everything tasted great. Service was friendly and attentive. Another in our party got the fish entree (fish and chips)--OMG !!! It was the biggest piece of fish I've ever seen served in a restaurant. I'm a good judge of size--this one piece was at least 2 inches thick and about 8 or 9 inches by 4 inches. He was only able to eat less than half of it and had to take the rest home. So if you want a good deal on fish and a lot of it, this is the place. - 6/09/2023

When we’re looking for comfort food and an easy, yet not totally casual (aka sloppy) environment, we book a table in the main dining room here—plenty if space, attractive and unobtrusive decor, and generally a low noise level. Plenty if space between booths to feel some privacy, but must be able to navigate shallow steps down. Not wheelchair accessible in the lower level booths or nice tables adjacent to the little lake. The “bar seating area” does not have the smoky bar image—instead it is well lit and also has tall tables sized mostly for small groups. This area is more lively and congenial. This time we chose the Makers Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese— filling and tasty along with the Brownie Bits and ice cream dessert. Nothing gourmet— but easy and satisfying. Service was a little less prompt than usual, but nothing dramatic, and suspect the servers were new. We’ll be back. - 5/16/2023

Our top choice for a casual Sunday evening meal. The food quality has been consistently very good and the bar drinks excellent. This particular evening the service was sub-par. There were enough servers but ours disappeared for extended periods. Despite that, he otherwise served us very well. Fortunately, we were out for a leisurely dinner so this was a minor shortfall. We will continue our regular Sunday evening dinners here. It has all the requisite features for a top value dining experience. - 5/02/2023

Great food and decent service. We had to wait a bit for drinks and coffee, then coffee refills. Food came out quickly. Overall it was a fantastic experience. We were able to have a great conversation without too much background noise, so that was a plus. - 4/24/2023

Went for lunch on a Sunday. Restaurant was very busy and we waited quite awhile for our first server contact. After that everything moved along speedily. I love their Kentucky Hot Brown, at least as good as the original from the Brown Hotel. My wife thought the Belgian waffle should have been thicker and fluffier. Our guest had the prime rib sandwich and rated it excellent. - 4/19/2023

We love taking advantage of the warm weather, sitting outside by the pond and watching the sunset. Our server was fantastic. Food just okay this time. I’d say stick with what you know there. - 4/18/2023

This is a great place with cozy atmosphere. They had a trio playing music which was cool, and they brought our daughter what must have been a full, adult-size sundae for desert. If the weather is good see if you can sit out on the deck. Do yourself a favor try some DeSha’s - 4/15/2023

The waiter was not very attentive. I went to the bar and got my cup of coffee. I asked for a refill on coffee, and it was 15 minutes or more before it came. His apron was dirty. I don't know if he had to cook and serve, but he was not very professional. - 4/15/2023

Only one glitch when checking in. I arrived first and identified myself at the front desk, my reservation was acknowledged that there would be 3 others joining me, I was seated; however, when my other guests arrived, they were told they were the first to check in and were seated in a different part of the restaurant. After waiting and wondering where my guests were, I texted them and we then connected. Fortunately, my guests were friends and not clients. - 4/13/2023

5 star rating Best Fish and Chips around... And Bellhaven! We love DeSha's. It's one of our favorite places. The fish and chips here are excellent. They sell The Pub at Rookwood Version (beer battered large single filet) and 2 or 3 piece Panko breaded filet pieces. The cornbread is delicious and has whole corn in it. The Bar drinks are well made. Bellhaven! This was the first bar in the USA to offer Bellhaven on draft. Amazing. Highly recommend DeSha's - 4/09/2023

I ordered the filet mignon, which was cooked perfectly and was absolutely delicious. My two daughters were with me and ordered a burger and sandwich with no complaints. As it was one of their birthdays, the waiter came out and sang happy birthday, which was such a great touch. Service was great but it was a little loud, nothing unusual for the time of day...overall we really enjoyed ourselves and will be back. - 3/30/2023

We really like deSha's. I was not crazy about the cornmeal encrusted fish I had last night. It was a little overdone. I was not crazy about the potato wedges or the cole slaw that came with it either. I would have preferred the mashed potatoes and the green beans that came with my husband's meatloaf. Our nice waiter did bring me a serving of the mashed potatoes. - 3/15/2023

They were very accommodating for a large family showing up unannounced after a funeral. They were lovely but I was sitting with younger cousins and I felt like our table was ignored because most of them had parents paying who were sitting at another table. We all did have the same server who was very nice just not very attentive to our table. - 3/15/2023

5 star rating Food is fabulous, service is exceptional. The sliced prime rib on a pretzel bun is yummy; the tomato bisque soup with shaved parmigiana is superb! Fresh baked cornbread is a real treat and if you like Pinot Noir, try a glass of the Sea Sun. Is a hearty salad is to your taste, the chicken cranberry with blue cheese crumbles is divine. Enjoy! - 3/15/2023

Eating here was an excellent experience. The menu has roast beef and a steak, then drops in price to a number of other offerings. We both had the pretzel roast beef sandwich with au jus dip. Our server, Mary, gave us just the right amount of attention. There is little noise, which makes it great for conversation. - 3/15/2023

I ordered the Biscuit +3 meal which included a biscuit, sausage gravy, 2 sausage patties, and a cup of fruit. The biscuit itself was slightly hard, but once I put the sausage gravy on it, it was fine. My first bite of the sausage patty was disappointing because it was lukewarm at best. The fruit cup was not exactly what I expected, but it was tasty. What I was expecting, was plain, cut up fruit, but what I got was cut fruit with some sort of syrup mixed in with it. At least that’s what it appeared and tasted like. My brother ordered the Smoked Gouda and chicken rotini. He said that it was hot and tasted very good. We didn’t order any drinks and only drank water. I was happy that we were seated on the lower level adjacent to the pond which I feel is the primo place to be seated and doubly happy that we scored a booth! The service was excellent and our server was professional and kind. I gave a score of 4 stars because of the lukewarm sausage patties. Even the sausage gravy was on the mediocre side as far as temperature was concerned. I believe that hot food should be brought out hot and cold food items should be brought out cold. Don’t worry, we’ll still be back. - 3/06/2023

Girlfriend birthday lunch! Our server was great. Thought maybe you would have offered my friend, the birthday celebrant, some kind of dessert. I would have been happy to pay for it. It was noted on my reservation what the occasion was. We always have lunch at DeSha’s as it is easy access for both of us. I had the corn chowder soup and have to say it could have been more flavorable. I think the broth could have been thicker and the bacon in it was kind of stringy. Spinach salad was delicious. We’ll be back, as usual, but just thought you should know my feelings. My friend had the “hot brown “ and said it was delish!!! - 2/16/2023
