$5 brunch Bloody Mary
Kiki H.

We made a reservation for a very large party of 17 people and they accommodated us. And they even did the separate checks for us without fussing. The food was fresh and hot and very delicious. All of us were happy. I have to say as a bacon lover, I love that they got my bacon just right, crisp with the right amount of chew. They had $5 brunch drinks and they were a pretty nice size. I got a Bloody Mary which could have stood a little bit more alcohol but it was still good and I was happy with it. I wish I had gotten our server's name cuz she was really sweet and attentive. The prices were right, affordable, much better than some of the other places we had priced nearby. And it's close enough to the water that you could call this a waterfront restaurant. I will definitely go there again.

First time at Chadwick's for brunch and let's just say I'd easily go back! Our server was amazing, she took good care of us from start to finish. I enjoyed their espresso martini with my steak and eggs off their brunch menu. It was quite busy so highly recommended to get there early! Now that I know how tasty their brunch is, I'll have to come back and enjoy some more things on the menu!

Monte Cristo

TLDR: Chadwicks is your typical divey local watering hole spot in Old Town Alexandria offering up variety of food. Would recommend for game watching but keep the bar of expectation mid to low. This was my wife's and I first time visiting Chadwicks we came here as a JMU Football location. The first critique was we came in and was told the TVs were at the bar sections and we sat at a table in the section but the host failed to inform us that we needed to ask the bartender for menus and silverware. We literally sat for like 5-10 minutes before I went back to the hostess to ask and that's when I was told. This interaction is on the hostess not the bartender. On to the food, we were here for brunch hours and I opted for the Monte Cristo which was recommended by the bartender that and the home fries were really good. The chowder lacked salt and pepper big time but once we added, it was decent. The clams in it were a bit chewy for my liking. My wife had the Au Jus she said she liked it but it was dry in some areas. In all I would come back here for sure to bar dive or to watch a game and grab a pub-ish bite. Chadwick's doesn't try to be something it's not and that's a good thing.

First time visiting DC, first time staying in Alexandria, Chadwick's was the very first restaurant we tried in the area. We stayed at Hotel Indigo, right down the block, and walked here for dinner after a late flight and hotel check-in. Food was great, service was meh, location is excellent. Parking would have been a challenge had we not been staying at the hotel, which included a garage parking space. Overall, I'd recommend trying Chadwick's. We ended up finding other spots in Alexandria with better ambiance but wouldn't mind coming back.

Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes Chicken Wings Chicken Quesadilla Spicy Chicken Egg Rolls
Tori G.

This place is a perfect place to go for a happy hour. I thoroughly enjoyed the crabcakes and the buffalo wings. They were cooked to perfection. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is perfect to go after work. They have also really great prices for drinks like $5 drafts. Overall, my favorite food has to be the crabcakes and the apple pie with ice cream not picture because I ate it all. :) I highly recommend you check it out and the parking is not too bad.

Pineapple Mimosa

Really enjoyed this spot. Wasn't super busy so I was seated upstairs immediately. Took a moment for the waiter to come but he did come with water in hand. For brunch mimosas at 5 bucks so I ordered a pineapple one. I always ask the staff what they enjoy on the menu. He recommended anything with salmon. I opted for the spicy chicken egg rolls and chicken francios with a side of home fries. The egg rolls were amazing, Crispy and hot. The chicken francios was good but i wasn't blown away. The French toast had a ton of butter sitting on top of it so it made it soggy so I wasn't a fan. The play list they had going was great. The ladies next to me asked for the pandora station because it truly was a vibe. I would absolutely come back.

This is a great bar for going to hangout and drink with friends or grab a quick bite after a walk along the river. It is very spacious and I haven't had to wait when I come. The food is also actually very good for a bar! The service is great and if you don't know what to get, they make great suggestions.

Shrimp & Grits

From the moment we entered until we left, it was so cozy and family friendly. Seeing so many families on a Sunday early afternoon was a good sign. We enjoyed all of our food and we had a full spread. After church, you want a heart warming meal that meets everyone's needs, some went lighter with a wrap, and some of us went full throttle brunch with mimosas & chicken Francois! The service was friendly and attentive. It was a perfect location just off the water in Old Town Alexandria. Huge fan and I will be back over and over!

I've been to Chadwick's twice within the past two years and it was decent. However, I recently went and I was not impressed by the food. I had the crab dip and it was very watery in consistency and didn't have much of a taste. I also expected more from the fried chicken sandwich because I've had the wings before and they were tasty, but the fried chicken sandwich was bland.

Hot Apple Pie
Denise M.

We had our Bookclub meeting here last night and it was great. The place was pretty packed so we sat outside. The waiter was very nice. The appetizers were delicious, we had the crab dip and the green fried tomatoes. I ordered the salmon with rice and green beans, it was maybe missing a sauce on the salmon but that than that it was cooked to perfection. I also had an apple pie for dessert and they heated it up with a scoop of ice cream, it was to die for.

Mimosa
Janice W.

Chadwick's definitely delivered! The Buttermilk Biscuits with the Honey butter and house jam were warm and delicious, the Spicy Chicken Egg Rolls had the perfect kick, and both the Chadwick's Club sandwich and the Chicken François were full of flavor. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The service was great from the moment we walked in to the time we were seated and served. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming staff made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back!

Beer and Espresso Martini
John G.

Wish we had planned to have dinner here. This is a don't miss spot. Local friendly people, friendly staff, good drinks, good food and great conversation. We stopped in here per recommendation of a Ferry Boat worker after we got off of our Potomac River tour. Good call on his part. Upon entering we were met by Nick who was tending bar. We sat at the bar and the experience began. What do I mean by experience.... Just a pleasant conversation with Nick who made us feel welcome into this foreign place. We ordered a couple of apps to soak up the alcohol. Both very good. Spicy Chicken Egg rolls and the special fish tacos. My only complaint the tacos didn't come with lime slices to squeeze onto them. This was quickly remedied with a quick ask to Nick. Also a very good sign about the food were the number of people (locals) who were coming in to pick up their take out orders. If I lived near by I would frequent this place often. As for the interior it had a maritime vibe and was well maintained.

Salmon
Robert S.

I had read a few reviews about this place and decided to come for dinner... As we walked in, there was a guy lounging on a chair right at the entrance, who asked us if we were looking to have dinner...we said Yes. He grabbed a couple of menus and showed us to a table....the odd thing is that he was not standing up waiting to greet people like most hosts would....but lounging....LOL. Luis was our server and he was very nice and attentive. We got some IPAs (delish) and some really good food...I got the salmon and my husband got the buttermilk fried chicken plate. Both were really well done and deliciously prepared. The portions were adequate..not huge...but not small either... Great place with a nice cozy vibe....located in an old brick and stone buidling...

I came here for Mother's Day brunch, and it did not disappoint. It was tough getting a reservation,…read morebut I was able to snag one last second. We were seated inside, which had a decent amount of seating. I thought the restaurant was cute, and it had a nice ambience. We ordered several dishes, starting with the cajun crawfish Mac & cheese, crab stuffed oysters, and charred spring vegetables. All 3 starters were delicious, with my favorite being the crab stuffed oysters. The Mac & cheese was a close second - it was nicely seasoned and perfectly au dente. The vegetables were also very good, and the pita it came with was great. On the breakfast menu, we ordered the chicken and waffles and shrimp and grits. Both were very good. I haven't had many chicken and waffles, but the chicken was tasty with the hot honey. The shrimp and grits was very flavorful. If I had to pick one though, I would probably pick the shrimp and grits. The service was solid, she was very friendly and came back a decent number of times. I would 100% come back again!

We walked in and were blessed to immediately get a table despite being told it may be an hour wait on the phone. We received a menu and ordered the breakfast burrito and the biscuits and gravy. Our food came extremely fast which surprised me and makes me wonder how much is prepped ahead. My friend received the burrito and it was very greasy so she requested to order something else. My biscuits and gravy were yummy. The eggs were cooked well and the fried chicken was the star of the show. Easily this was some of the best chicken I have had in a while. I overall enjoyed my meal but I wish there was way more gravy as there was only a little bit layered on top of the 2 biscuits. My friend was given a menu to order something else and this menu was different and had dinner options. It was 4:30 when we came and not more than 15 minutes of difference before receiving a menu the second time so we were surprised but eager to look. My friend ordered the half chicken which came with collard greens and grits. Since there was a different menu I wasn't aware of I wanted to order something additional and opted for saving the brunch meal I ordered for breakfast tomorrow. I loveeee scallops so when I seen them on the menu especially over grits I had to order it. The scallops were cooked wonderfully and I loved the composition of the dish with the creamy grits and the acid from the tomatoes and the smokiness of the sauce and grits. My friend loved the half chicken and after trying it myself we both agreed Matt and Tony's knows how to cook chicken well. The greens had nice flavor but were a little dry and needed some broth/juice from cooking. Again the grits were delicious and creamy with a bit of smoky flavor. I also had the Peso Cocktail which was sweet with a nice kick. Overall I enjoyed this restaurant and would come again and absolute what I ordered again as well. Coming here next time will be hard cause I'm definitely going to be battling between wanting what I already had and trying something new.

The only thing I probably wouldn't order again is the pulled pork. It wasn't bad, just not the style or flavor profile I look for in a place like this. Do it.
