- KaiJune 11, 2015Some of the best mussels I have ever had. Mussels in a Belgian beer, caramelized onions, duck fat sauce equals perfection.

Danielle DaSilvaJune 11, 2018Best mussels in DC! Very chill, excellent Belgian beer selection. Dessert? Bread pudding, but you can't go wrong with a Belgian waffle.
Steve McKinneyMay 17, 2016This bar has a great happy hour deal: on weekdays from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., get $10 mussels and frites, half price wings/onion rings and $1 off drafts.
Amazing happy hour deals especially if you love Belgian beers and mussels. And don't forget to save room for Belgian waffles!
I love going during lunch. Mussels, frites, and bread all for $10!! Can't beat that!
M. G. StellaMarch 4, 2014I think my "medium well" over-stuffed burger would have been good, but it came out black as a crow's tail on the outside and red on the inside! 😒
Arthur KimDecember 31, 2015I really enjoyed the mussels and frites. Fries were fried perfectly. Just wish they had curry ketchup.
Daryl WolkeAugust 6, 2014Great bar! Mussels in cast iron pots are outrageous; wide variety, cheap prices. Great Belgian beer selection
✅ Kit OliynykSeptember 1, 2013First of all, it's not an "American Restaurant", it's a 100% Belgian place. And secondly, this place is so good I didn't even want to jinx it by leaving this tip.
Erik BrokOctober 10, 2014The beer cooked mussels are great. This is not an American restaurant but a Belgian one with Belgian style beer.
Nandu MachirajuSeptember 26, 2011Mussels with Spicy Italian Sausage, Peppers, Onions and Tomatoes was excellent although not quite as good as Brasserie Beck's. The Mussels St. Arnold's is still their stand-out dish.
AllisonJune 21, 2012Always ask what their specials are for the day. Normally their mussels special is only $10 instead of $12. Just as delicious and big enough portion for lunch :)
Marta Lynne SchantzMay 28, 2014Crazy crowded during their 1/2 off mussels happy hour, but you can RSVP with opentable and guarantee a table that way!
Ela_LaiSeptember 8, 2015Husband is 41, I just turned 39 yesterday and they didn't serve us alcohol because we only had our Turkish ID's on us. Well at least we still don't look over 21! A big yay for it :)- Tyrus ManuelJuly 25, 2013Crowded, loud but really great mussel and frites selection. And of course wonderful range of Belgian drafts.
MK McKenzieOctober 17, 2015Bacon and blue cheese mussels. Just....... Do it. And an extra order of bread. 😍
Dane HenricksenApril 2, 2014Loved everything about this place! Great mussels, great drinks and atmosphere!!!!
Tom KnierMarch 14, 2013Most opt for the mussels, but the chicken sandwich with rosemary mayo is outstanding if you're not feeling like seafood.
Jessica LippmanSeptember 12, 2012house mussels in a beer (I think bacon?), caramelized shallots and duck fat sauce?! Fantastic
Tosin ASeptember 14, 2011Half priced mussels @ 4pm-7, wings , and onion rings..also! Thai Seafood w/rice was delicious!
John ClarkNovember 2, 2014Come here and hang out with Michael, DC's most entertaining Irish bartender.
Tammy GordonMarch 3, 2011Not to pile on, but the Mussels St Arnold w caramelized shallots & duck fat is the way to go.
DrewOctober 9, 2011Mussels are the best I ever had. Ask for more bread. Owners seem like good people.

"The Spicy B&B Bloody Mary is surprisingly good! So was the lobster omlet and seasoned potato fingers. I'm now a big fan of Belgian breakfast!"
