Came here for the World Cup game this morning. Not impressed by the bartender in green at the main bar. He made my friend and I feel very uncomfortable. He was rude, dismissive, cut me off mid-sentence when I tried to place an order three minutes before the allowable 6am time to serve alcohol (other bartender had already gone around to take orders to prepare drinks for 6am on the dot). No one was trying to break the rules there. Throughout the morning, we wouldn't have gotten any service if it weren't for the other kind, attentive bartender to check on us because her colleague was too busy making us feel uncomfortable rather than doing his job. read more

I came here a few times when I used to live in Noma. Was back in the city this weekend and met some friends for brunch here and it was still good but not as good as I remember. I always get the honey hot chicken sandwich which is great! They have housemade ketchup which used to be great but was a bit watery this time. My friends told me the mimosas were very strong and were happy with that. Overall it was good, but I remembered it being better. read more

Came for the awesome vegetarian brunch options and stayed for the mimosas that kept flowing. I loved this place and my buffalo seitan sandwich. We had a waiter but made the mistake of ordering on a little tablet at our table (a relic of the pandemic I'd guess) but he was really cool about it and we made sure to tip well! I loved the atmosphere inside and there's a patio out front too but it was too hot to sit out there. Would recommend for anyone, esp vegetarians who want a yummy sandwich! read more

We started out with no real destination but we knew we wanted brunch and we had to hurry since most are over around 2 or 3pm. We'd just read an article with the 12 best brunch spots in the city and Boundary Stone was on the list. We got there a little after 1, only to find out the unlimited mimosas ended at 2 and brunch ends at 3 BUT it was okay because Shawn took GREAT care of us. The mimosas were GREAT (you'd think how can mimosas be bad...trust me they can), the food was GREAT and the service was outstanding! We will definitely be back! read more

They, without saying so anywhere on the menu, added a mandatory 20 percent service charge to our bill, and then had the audacity to setup their payment system to ask for another tip on top of that, probably hoping to fool drunk people into tipping twice. Not ok. Pay your staff a living wage and don't rely on hidden fees and tricks to make ends meet. read more

It's more like 3.5 stars - solid brunch place, but somewhat out of the way location wise. I had the cinnamon roll and French toast & waffles. The cinnamon roll was underwhelming and the French toast & waffles were good individually but together didn't hit in the way they're supposed to. read more

So about the brunch here! Oh goodness was it good. It was a unseasonably warm day in April and we were seeking a good brunch spot and Boundary Stone was recommended. We sat outside, at the sidewalk tables. The menu had a good selection and also the option to make your brunch bottomless for $15, mimosas and bloodmarys. I ordered the fried chicken and French toast. Yes, French toast! A very thick pierce of French toast and it was delicious. My bf had the chick sandwich which he seemed to have really enjoyed. And we drank mimosas until we were full. Staff and nice and attentive. They do take reservations. I'll be back the next time I'm in DC read more

Meh. Nice big patio and lots of indoor seating. Great value HH 4-7pm. The food missed the mark though. The deviled eggs were pink - they say they used picked beets for the filling, and only tell you after you order it and it comes out. They lacked flavor (because, beets, probably). I also had the falafel burger. It also didn't have much flavor and overall is just a lot of bread and dry ingredients. I didn't really like any of it. The $5 rotating cocktail was great, though! I'd come back for a drink, only. read more

First visit to this restaurant to celebrate my daughter shipping out for the Navy was disappointing. We made reservations and placed in a cold room with uncomfortable metal bar stools. We requested to move to another table and they refused. This set the tone for the remainder of our experience. The waitress was fine until the end, Which it took 17 min after we finished our meal to get our check. The maple grits was good (grits were slightly under cooked), French roast was good but the chicken was over cooked and very dry. The huevors rancheros was fine. I was given a cracked mug and the mimosa was very sweet. Not sure if we would come back here again. read more

Came for the bottomless mimosas, which which were not available when we came. The atmosphere was still really good and we felt safe in terms of covid precautions. The food was honestly very average, nothing stood out. I think most of us got the hot chicken sandwiches and were unimpressed. The service was outstanding though, which is why I bumped it to 4 stars! read more

We love this bar: This is the best neighborhood bar in dc. I just wish boundary stone owners would recognize that Gordon is an amazing cocktail bartender and could do amazing things if they let him. We love this bar. But we would love it more if there was a cocktail menu that Gordon could design. We followed him from other cocktail bars. Just saying... don't ignore cocktail genius read more

I've been going to this neighborhood spot for three years now. I'm glad they made it through the early stages of the pandemic. They have great food and beers. The burger and the hot chicken sandwich are standouts. Good spot for casual brunch as well. I'm not an Eagles fan, but for those Philly folks, this is an Eagles bar. read more

Great cocktail and beer menu. but what pushes them to the top are the servers. They are awesome - friendly, hilarious, attentive. Love this place. read more

They have a late night menu until midnight but there's limited selection. The meatballs were good but just a snack size for $5. The chips are made in house and were also good. Pricing on mixed drinks was actually cheap compared to other places. read more

I'm on a roll of my favorites it seems, making 5-star rating rain all over this place. Boundary Stone, I've adored you for oh so long, but have neglected your proper review until now. I apologize for the negligence that I exhibited, but promise I will be back soon to make it up to you by having a couple of boiler makers in your honor. What's good: Drinks. Food. Atmosphere. What's not: Hmm, maybe some of the weekends crowds. Boundary Strone specializes in really good beer and really good whiskey. Bourbon, Irish whisky, Scotch, or good ol' American whiskey. They've got it all and will gladly school you in what will compliment your evening the best. I usually go for a rotating tap, maybe a DC Brau specialty, or something that's a bit more under the radar. Pints run around $6, but for a real adventure get a darn boiler maker. 1/2 a pint of DC Brau Corruption IPA, and a shot of Cattoctin Creak Rye, for $9. You have nowhere else to go, what are you waiting for? The food will also surprise you. Sure, it may seem like just a bar, and you may not expect much in the food department, but boy, how wrong you are. They have daily rotating deviled eggs to start that I highly recommend. The flavors are different daily, but they are always a bit different, and not your granny's mayo-filled discs. Think wasabi, or ginger. More on the food side, there is always a large rotating menu, but their staples will never disappoint. Burger with bacon jam, falafel, wings, vegan-wings, there's something to tickle anyone's pickle (including fried pickles, oh my!). During the week, I can't think of a better place in the surrounding neighborhoods to go. Weekend, it's a bit dicier, and can get quite crowded, but that's the case with just about any bar in the city. read more

After browsing through the previous reviews, I'm worried that I either a) went to the wrong bar, or b) the Boundary Stone closed and I entered a new place. I've heard about this place through various sources and was waiting to try it, but I rarely am in the area. After a fabulous trip to union market, we popped in for a drink and some food. I'm. So. Confused. Is this not the Boundary Stone Public House of 4.5-star-Yelp-Fame? We ordered beers. Nothing unusual happened there (except my pint of beer was $10). That was my fault, though...menu blindness. Deviled eggs were next on the agenda, along with crostini. Both of them were...meh. The filling of the deviled eggs was dense, bland, and chunky. Not the creamy deliciousness I'm accustomed to. The topping for the crostini was not well blended, and needed salt and more...something. The bartender took my empty glass and...nothing. That's it. He just took it. At that point, we decided it might be better to seek out nourishment elsewhere. I'd love to have had the same experience as all of the rave reviewers. But unfortunately I ended up with the Dr. Jekyll version. read more

1. I am very sad about gentrification in DC. It makes me really really unbelievably sad to see this neighborhood change overnight to exclude almost all brown skinned people. REALLY sad. 2. I love good neighborhood bar. The drinks were strong and the service was friendly and down-to-earth. It's within walking distance of my building and even though we were the only black people there... maybe there were two others, it was a homey vibe. 3. The food was ok. Not the most flavorful I've eaten, Brooklands Finest definitely has some tastier bites. In all fairness, I didn't really try anything different so I would be interested in their wings and their loaded fries. I may be back because it's conveniently located and parking isn't a hassle. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, and just an all-around great experience. I dropped by the other night with a group of friends for dinner and we all thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Boundary Stone. Service was fantastic, the food was a definite hit. I love the simplicity of the menu, single page, good array of options, and something for everyone (vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike). There were four of us total, we each got something different, but the quality and quantity was solid. I ordered the Pepper Burger - the temperature was the way I requested it (medium), the burger was seasoned beautifully, pepper jack cheese and pickled peppers gave me the heat I was looking for. Great place for dinner and meeting up. Conveniently located on Rhode Island Avenue NW and has a cool aura to it. Looking forward to my next visit read more

Love this place! The vibes were great. Made me want to play Minecraft & build a rustic home. Food was good & I appreciate the thoughtfulness of a surcharge meant to provide a better pay for their staff. :) Server was also very kind ! read more

Went out with some co-workers after an event and this place is a hoot. Plenty of whiskey to choose from (my personal drink of choice) and the food didn't look so bad either, though I admittedly didn't try anything. What you're gonna wanna do is order a whiskey sour and if they ask you if you want it with an egg yolk the correct answer is absolutely. It may sound funky but I'm pretty confident when I say this is one of the best whiskey sours I've had. Oh, and if you like beer, there's a ton of that too. read more

Last night I went there with my 'gourmand' friends after we dined and wined at the famous Thai X-ing nearby. From outside it's not noticeable in a nothing-around neighborhood of Bloomingdale, but once you get in, it's a different world - packed with people. Where do all these people come from? Very very luckily, one of us grabbed a table right after the people left the table and all five of us could sit down. The server guy with bold head who looked like Andrew Zimmern was very nice and sweet. The other server lady was also very kind. The huge bouncer guy was nice too. They all willingly took some photos of us when I asked them to. Fish & Chips was pretty good, especially the fish, but the tartar sauce tasted a little different and the ketsup too. They both had somethings mixed in. While we were having a good time talking really loud inside, it started snowing outside and accumulated about an inch. The seating is a problem unless you get lucky, but this is a convenient place to hop to after you reach the time limit at Thai X-ing (if you have one. In our case, we had 6:30pm reservation at Thai X-ing and we were told to leave by 9;30pm because there is another group booked for the table from 9:30pm) read more

The Assistant Manager Colleen really saved this experience. I'm not sure if the restaurant was busy or if I my waiter was just bad but without Colleen I would probably deduct a star or two. Boundary Stone was able to accommodate my party of 10 but note we were seated in the back outside of the main dining room. I had the honey hot chicken sandwich. Honestly, there was nothing special about this place. The food was mediocre but they did offer $15 bottomless mimosas that were champagne heavy which was a saving grace. Members of my party complained about the service, the food and the proportions. While, I wasn't impressed it wasn't a bad experience for me. Overall, I am in no rush to return to Boundary Stone but it wasn't the worst dining experience. Cash and cards were accepted and out waiter graciously split our bill into 5 checks for each couple. Street parking is available. read more

My husband and I stopped here for a quick brunch before we went museum hopping for the day. It had a rustic, hipster vibe on the interior with a full bar and bottomless mimosas. The staff was ok, not overly friendly but not bad. I got the French toast and fried chicken with a cold brew and my husband got the beef hash. My meal was delicious! The French toast was ultra thick Texas toast and tasted like honey and the perfectly fried chicken was a great counterpart to it. My husband liked his meal as well. The place was busy, but there was no wait for a table at 11:30 am. Would definitely recommend for brunch. The only slight downside was that the menu was small, but they all looked like good options. read more

Cool spot in an up and coming neighborhood. Boundary Stone provides a low-key spot to grab a drink, watch the game, or try the wide offerings of whiskey. The staff was very friendly, prices were reasonable, and it was just the right type of crowded (not too quiet where it was crickets, but not loud enough where you could not talk, move around, or grab a drink). Although I did not try any of their food, everything on the menu sounded delicious and I look forward to comng back for a meal. read more

BEST Veggie burgers in town and outdoor seating! Boundary Stone topped the metro paper for its veggie burger and whiskey bar, so I decided to try it out, satisfying my veggie needs and my boyfriends' affinity to whiskey. Boundary Stone is nestled in the quiet neighborhood of Bloomingdale - street parking was easy to find and there were dogs on the patio. I went Saturday evening, and we were able to find an empty table outside - which was really nice. It wasn't too crowded. I ordered a veggie burger and split it with my boyfriend and substituted salad for fries - which was surprisingly filling for both of us. The quinoa patty was scrumptious and the goat cheese added a nice touch of flavor. I enjoyed the fries - hand-cut and not too greasy. The sauce is good too - not the typical ketchup sauce, but a nice marinara. We also got such honey-mustard, which was kind of spicy. We also had a side order of brussels sprouts - which was a bit sweet, but not oily and a good portion size. I ordered a grapefruit rum cocktail - can't remember the name of it and it's not on the menu outside. It was delicious and refreshing. My boyfriend had $20 whiskey (can't remember the name of it), but he liked it. Overall, we had a satisfying meal sitting outside in this local neighborhood and we'll be back! I might not share my veggie burger this time ;) read more

This place looks casual and stylish. I like the bar tenders and I like the location. They had a very entertaining DJ on my first visit; props to the DJ. I really wanted to like the food, but, meh. It was edible. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger. The bacon on the cheeseburger was more of a bacon diarrhea byproduct. I've added a pic. The fries were lacking flavor and I think the side of ketchup was one part water Bottom line: I like the beer, I like the attitude, I like the decor, I like the style, but I don't like the burgers, more specifically what they claim is a bacon cheeseburger, but is really a bacon pate cheeseburger. I'll come back to drink, but not to eat. read more

My wife and I wanted to try something new out and this was close to my wife's school and they are also dog friendly! We had or puppy with us on a super hot day, but the outside seating does have shade which is awesome. Service was on point. Water was provided for us and our pup right away. We ordered the granola, wings, and the chicken sandwich (both honey hot and cage free). The wings do look tiny but my wife swears it's amazing. Their ranch is also so flavorful - you can totally taste the dill! Even the ketchup was on point, and I'm not much of a sauce person. Great brunch spot. Brunch ends at 2 but you can definitely order from the lunch menu as well. Service was awesome; the guy we had was super friendly. There were a lot of flies outside which got a bit frustrating but other than that, we loved this place! read more

Kitchen is open late and patio is great! I have been here for lunch and for a late night cocktail as well. The deviled eggs are a great way to start your meal. I highly recommend sitting on their patio if the weather is nice. They have some nice whiskey / bourbon cocktails and plenty of beer options. I also have had their burger which was really big but a good size to share. The fries are also good and crispy. read more

Boundary Stone Public House is a decent place to spend some time but nothing extra special to me. The staff is friendly enough, I sat at the bar and after I received my drink and food the bartender just kind of left me to my own devices, it wasn't that he wasn't attentive, he knew enough to let a person enjoy their drink and food and to just keeping given me a glance from time to time to see if I needed anything. I had the chicken sandwich, it was nothing special, not really use to a loose meat chicken sandwich, flavor was o the bland side, could have used some seasoning and perhaps some sauce as a condiment. Fries were also just okay. I give them credit for their extensive whiskey and tequila selections, you'd be hard pressed not to find something you like if you are fans of those types of alcohol. All in all, not the worst place to pull up a seat at the bar but not my favorite either. read more

Cyndy's Bottom Line: Good neighborhood bar with food. We were in the vicinity for dinner at Red Hen so we decided to stop in. There are two sections to the bar. The larger section was filled so we went to the overflow section. Service is friendly, great vibe. Good choice of beer and cocktails. Two selections of wine. Red or white. (Smile) We ordered drinks and I had to order the fish & chips. Fish & chips were fried nicely. Crispy light batter - not overly battered, fish was moist. The fries were crisp and seasoned well. Wine is served in a water glass. I can't bring myself to enjoy my beverage when it's not in the proper glass. Please do not judge me. I know it's a pub/bar. read more

Sighhhh. Five stars for the time I came at night and there was live music and a fun vibe. But quite disappointing when I went this past Tuesday for trivia. They really only have one large table for trivia, so most teams were standing and crowding around the bar. We were lucky enough to be able to move two tables to awkwardly squeeze our group. I was excited to try the food since the menu looked great. Sadly the beet salad was REALLY salty. It takes a lot for me to not clean my plate, but I couldn't even finish it. I snuck bites of my boyfriend's pulled pork sandwich, which was mediocre, but the ketchup really stole the show (in a bad way)! Some sort of watery-sweet-tomato soup was where my Heinz should be! On the plus side, the beer menu is vast and they had two $5 local beer specials for trivia. So, if I come again, I'll make sure to drink my dinner. read more
