Dempsey's at Oriole Park -- Great (last reviewed Sep 12)

I don't know what Dempsey's replaced but it is definitely a keeper -- nice onsite microbrew and a step-up from typical brewhouse food.  Bonus was that Rick Dempsey was there and he was gracious enough to pose for a couple of pics.  I must say that I thought he was dead when Bo Jackson ran over him at home plate a loooong time ago so its good to see that he is still doing his thing with announcing and now being a restauranteer.  So the microbrew was nice and the nachos with pulled chicken where really well prepared as were the three different kinds of sliders.  And, the price was actually very reasonable especially for an in-the-park restaurant.  As far as pointers, hmmm, I'm stretching here but the place was chaotic due to the big crowd and they had a little of the bar food season-all going on where everything has a bit of a bland, fried taste.  They also could not accommodate a pulled chicken sandwich although they had pulled chicked on the nachos.  Say what.  Overall, way to go Rick!
