Everything here is great! I've been dining here since I moved to Va in the early 90's. Saturday brucjhand Sunday bruch is also awesome, especially the Bloody Mary's!
William McGheeDecember 23, 2016I was a great place. I got there a little late and went some other place to watch the Bengals as it was crowded -- a good thing and a sign of it being a great place. Love the menu!
Jody Boudreaux, RealtorNovember 15, 2012Po-boys & Caesar salads with a creole mustard base dressing. Specials everyday. Casual dining for the entire family. Great atmosphere. Secret dish not on the menu-Cajun Queen Salad.- transiTALK Transportation Media GroupJanuary 27, 2011This is hands down the best sit down, home-cooked style food you will come across in Alexandria. From the BBQ Ribs to the Drunken Pot Roast, there is something on the menu for everyone!
- Clint H.December 15, 2011Great selection of southern food along with some twists and liberties taken on some dishes. The crawfish po boy was excellent. Sad they dd not have mufaletta. Will come back soon!
Tyler MSeptember 14, 2014Delicious brunch, the chicken and sweet potato waffle special was out of this world
The burgers are amazing! The bartenders are great! One of my favorite "go to" places. Can never go wrong.
Erin CushingOctober 17, 2012Delicious (and incredibly low-priced) Southern food! Shrimp and sausage with grits is my favorite, and raw bar Wednesdays can't be beat!
Tim HarveyMarch 7, 2013One of the best bars of all time. Without a doubt. Location. Bartenders. Food. Crowd. All top-notch.
Daniela RodriguezApril 17, 2015Happy hour was great, but be very very careful on what you order to eat. I and several friends have gotten sick!
Anthony IaffaldanoDecember 26, 2012Virginia burger is as good as advertised, but ask for a jar of homemade remoulade on the side too. Your fries will thank you.
Steve DahlgrenJanuary 6, 2015Shrimp po'boys and a Swärtzbier are a delicious combo. And half price on Mondays.
Cartier DiamondFebruary 12, 2013Try the Combination Po' Boy - #FatTuesday#PoBoy#Cheapdrinks#foodporn#instafood
Robert AlpiginiNovember 23, 2014While not a big beer selection, they do carry some of the best craft brews around.
Aimee AimeeJuly 28, 2013The blackened catfish and bread basket were tasty. The meal was less enjoyable because I felt quite rushed by the wait staff. Want to get your money and get you out of there the minute you sit down.
Todd MaxwellJanuary 3, 2013Food is good. Wednesday is raw bar night. Chili is really good. They have a decent selection of beers.
Always get a delicious meal here and the service is excellent.
Jason HartApril 15, 2012Get the ribs. Fall off the bone deliciousness with a slightly spicy BBQ sauce. So good.
Joseph KristofferSeptember 15, 2011Great happy hour: $3 rails, $4 wines, $2-3 drafts, 1/2 off burgers, and $2 mini pulled pork sliders, oyster po' boys, and nachos.- Chicken nachos and wings. ,friendly neighborhood resturant.
Washington CapitalsFebruary 13, 2013Stop by here to watch Caps games - it's a great Caps on Tap Viewing Party location!
William RestrepoFebruary 24, 2013Great for bringing kids because is a bit loud, and food is delicious.
Their Big Noodle Mac n Cheese is awesome! the Fried chicken Pasta will surprise and delight you!
- get here by noon on Sunday for a seat during football games. great affordable brunch and half-price burgers during NFL games
- Arty YatesFebruary 9, 2012Definitely recommend the Virginia burger to folks from outta town. Great experience. Decent service.
David HessJuly 11, 2011Fried chicken special on Mondays & Thursdays. Awesome, get with southern greens too
Bob SomervilleFebruary 4, 2012Rusty nail salmon special was awesome. Good time, good food, good service
- Save room for th Peach Pound Cake, homemade deliciousness!
Monday and Thursday nights = the best fried chicken in Old Town.
Go to Southside twice a week and the bartender will have your order and drink of choice memorized. Grilled cheese and fries w/ side of Mayo for me.
I'll stack their Biscuits & Gravy against anyone else in DMV.
