An absolute Gem! The food was so good. Best chicken wrap I've had in ages. The portions were good and the prices match. We tried them last weekend and we're definitely coming back. A
Kara is an amazing server. The lights are a little low, but look at this amazing double patty burger. 10 on burger night. And they run a happy hour. Makes for a great Thursday. This burger is crazy good. I know a place that does 6, but this is worth every penny. Not super greasy. Bun isn't soggy. Fries are perfect. No notes! And if you read my other stuff I usually try to add some things that could be done better. Staff was great. Food was great. Prices were great. Selectiin of beer is great. Timing was great. And Karaoke night is pretty fun (different night.) I'm sure I sound like I'm fan boying, but as always, I don't get paid for any reviews. They 100% earned it. Good job!
The food was incredible as well as the service. Wanted to shoot some pool after dinner and we were directed back a hallway to a very spacious area with two very nice tables and another bar with a very helpful bartender named Shane. If you can find a better public house in Virginia, let me know...
This is a phenomenal place! Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful structure, lots of room, and an excellent menu. Went here for a drag brunch too and it was the most amazing experience. Keep this up! It's what the world needs right now.
Our server was a sweet heart, our steak and burgers came out perfectly medium. Appetizers were great and the mixed drinks on the menu are a must.
Great selection of beer on tap. I had the Cuban sandwich and it was excellent. Service was a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry. They also have 1/2 price burgers on Thursdays that are delicious. Highly recommend this place.
I went for an early dinner. We ate inside. The dining room has tables amply spaced apart, and everyone wore masks. Our server was courteous and quick. He kept our drinks filled, and brought out our food in a timely manner. We ordered the family Mac n cheese and chicken tenders meal. It came on a huge platter and we had plenty of leftovers. Drinks were strong and tasty. Highly recommended!
Atmosphere here is perfect. This was my second visit-coincidently on Valentine’s Day. There was karaoke, bubbles and cards. Good company and excellent after midnight energy.
