On a visit to VA a friend took us here for some Friday night food and drinks. We got seated right…read moreaway but that's where the service dwindled. Although our hostess was pleasant, she was too much of a social butterfly to stay focused on tasks at her assigned tables. It took over 20 minutes to get our checks after we requested them. Meanwhile she fluttered from table to table talking to folks as if this were her house party. The food came out pretty fast. None of it was spectacular but it was what we expected from a sports bar. The mood was lively as the DJ took requests and tried to get the party going. I'm just not sure that the atmosphere and setting matched together. The hostess suggested that we got our drinks at a bar across the gaming floors as the restaurant bar was running way behind. I did and it was outside of security so I had to wait in line again to come back onto the gaming floor as the bar is at the bldg entryway before the security checkpoint.. I ordered my usual and I didn't taste it till I got to my table. It was definitely not Crown Royal Deluxe on the rocks in my cup. Nevertheless, I drank it cause I didn't want to go and fight thru security and with a bartender that may or may not know what is in their bottles. None of the food items were anything of note. I will recommend that they take suggestions from the patrons on how to make things better. It's a new casino and it shows. Hopefully I'll be able to give a better review at some point. This place has potential.

We decided to check out The Clubhouse at Aquia Harbor--but let's call it what it really is:…read moreBorinquen Bar and Grill, serving up legit Puerto Rican comfort food right in the area. Came in based on a friend's recommendation, and honestly...solid call. First thing: the food is authentic. If you're craving real island flavors without hopping on a plane, this spot delivers. I went straight for the classic: Pernil with Arroz con Gandules. Flavor was on point, tender, well-seasoned...though I'll admit, I was hoping for just a little piece of that crispy cuerito to take it from "wow" to "transported back to Abuela's kitchen." Now let me tell you what was ON FIRE: Mofongo with Camarones a la Criolla / al Ajillo -- absolutely the standout dish. The mofongo was packed with flavor, the shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the sauce brought everything together. Highly recommended if you come here...don't even think twice. The family started with appetizers--beef empanadas, mini alcapurrias, and croquetas de jamón--and those were definitely the highlights. Great taste overall. Visually, it looked like the oil might've been a bit on the older side (or maybe cooked a little too hot) since some items came out darker than expected...BUT the flavor still showed up. A couple things didn't fully hit: The Cuban sandwich wasn't bad, but the bread just wasn't quite right. Let's be real...Miami spoils us. Up here, Cuban bread is basically a unicorn. The vanilla flan was decent, but the custard texture was a little more firm/condensed than my personal preference. One note: they're still waiting on their liquor license, so no alcoholic drinks yet--but honestly, the food held its own. Prices are pretty standard restaurant range--about $15 per plate, so for a family of five you're looking at that mid-range dinner outing. And the best part? I wanted the Chuleta Kan Kan, but they had just sold the last one...so yeah...I'll definitely be back . If you're in the Aquia Harbor area and want Puerto Rican food that feels like the real deal, this is a great stop. The environment is small but allows for a good time with family and friends. There is outdoor seating available but currently too cold for that.

My understanding the Clubhouse at Aquia Harbor is being replaced with a new restaurant, "Borinquen…read moreBar and Grill at Aquia Harbor." This new restaurant will be operated by Chef Enrique, and will be serving Puerto Rican Cousin. Chef Enrique, established, the very successful, "Borinquen Lunch Box", the first Puerto Rican food truck and catering company to open in the DC, Maryland and Virginia area. If his food and service is as good as his food truck, the new restaurant will be a must visit in the Aquia/Stafford/Dumfries area.

I've heard lots of great things, so I came here with a coworker one evening to give them a try…read more.. They weren't very busy on a weeknight, rather dead with maybe only 10 others inside. Service was great! Our server, Abigail was very helpful, friendly, and attentive. We basically told her we wanted wings and burgers and asked her for her suggestions. She suggested their BBQ wings, so we got them - They were very tasty! Were they "jumbo" as the menu suggests? Kinda... the drum was, but the flat was basic. The flavor of the BBQ sauce on them was great tho! She also suggested the Girlfriend Burger with a side of their red potatoes - so we got these too. The burgers were great! Meat was cooked perfectly, not overdone and the size of the meat was pretty nice too. The sauce, lettuce, and cheese came together very nicely on it - definitely loved it! The bun was toasted nicely too. I'd definitely return!

The location is on the back side of a shopping plaza that you have to snake through. I'd had my heart set on the crab soup but they were out! Our server, Kelsey, suggested I try their version of Zuppa Toscana, which was amazing! I had a Girlfriend's smash burger and friends had wings with a Cobb salad and a burger with hush puppies. Loved my burger. This place is great for watching sports (lots of TVs) or to meet for drinks after work. Kelsey was attentive, friendly and super efficient!

The chicken finger basket with French fries and honey mustard dipping sauce hit the spot--crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The potato skins appetizer was really good too, loaded just right. What stood out most were the French fries: cooked to absolute perfection, golden and crispy. Service was decent enough and food arrived in a timely manner. Would definitely come back! I like it better than Buffalo Wild Wings and Girlfriends Tap House. Would recommend if you're looking for a casual American food sports bar in Stafford. One drawback was no volume for the big game. That would've been a game changer.

Called Mo's to see if they could accommodate a large party at the last minute. Bartender said she was the only one working, but to give her a minute.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised with the solid draft list and quality of food. Billiards, pinball, and Golden Tee kept everyone occupied as we killed the two hours before our next game. Great sports bar and employees care. Go there if you have a tournament at Smith Lake Park'

There isn't a real "bar" to sit at; just some tables. You can grab food from the store's salad and hot bar to have a quick meal.

The tavern is in an open mall type of set up. As far as I could tell. Per usual in these spaces, it took me bit of a wander around to find it. Success!

After we ordered drinks, we began a conversation with a gentleman having a beer to our left as well as the bartender. What a wonderful find and delightful company! Obvious Bonus: very nice beer list!

Tried them again and shouldn't have!…read more The kitchen staff at this place is substandard! They don't prepare food well & their to go order bags are packed abysmally. Do U even have an EXPO on duty?! Do they check orders as they leave the kitchen?! I ordered a FAMILY SIZED Cesar salad and got a salad for 1! I ordered 2 dressings & got 1!!! I have photos of the salad! They are supposed to use the bigger round bowl for family sized salads! This rectangle bowl is much smaller. And, they didn't pack it nearly full of romaine! Much of the romaine that is in the bowl is discolored & bad! I am beyond dissatisfied. I'm angry. This is NOT even close for a $35 salad! We need more romaine & more dressing! I have stupidly spent far too much at this place. Corporate needs to get involved. Every time we order, the bag is way over packed -- ever think of using 2 or more bags?! -- and liquids are NEVER secured! I have experienced countless deliveries with soup, salad dressing & the oil for bread turned upside down, pouring out of the bottom & bottom side of the bags! My Uber driver even told them tonite to make sure the bag was assembled correctly. They added 4 staples at the top of the bag!!! How is that going to help my delivery?! Are U serious?! One of the managers, Alex, is nice. But, our deliveries are still arriving WRONG! He drove to deliver salad dressing once that was completely eliminated from my bag. We ordered the family size salads! And, I always order an extra bowl of dressing. Again tonite, I got just 1 bowl of dressing! Where's my second one?! And, where's the romaine?! The pricing is astronomical for these sloppy things to keep happening. Alex/other managers, U need to do 3 things: o Tell your staff to READ ORDERS before preparing them! (Why do they keep leaving out the 2 orders of salad dressing I order?! It happened again tonite.) o Tell your kitchen staff CONSISTENCY MATTERS! (Prepare decent sized portions & make sure portions are exactly the same per order!) NOTE: We got chicken & fries a few days ago & it was crazy! We ordered a bunch of them for the family. Two orders were acceptable -- they had a decent amount of chicken and fries. The other 3 orders were awful! There were barely any fries in them & the chicken was in tiny, little pieces. Another example, we ordered a focaccia loaf a couple days ago. It arrived warm & soft. Ordered 2 more tonite & it arrived cold and hard. What the frick is going on?! How hard is it for staff to execute their jobs professionally?! CONSISTENCY MATTERS! o Buy THICK CARDBOARD INSERTS to put in the bottom of delivery bags! I'm done having my soup, salad dressing & oil for bread leaking out of the bags! It gets all over the food items inside the bag, it gets on the Uber driver & in their cars. And, I'm out the proper amount of soup, salad dressing & oil that I ordered & paid for. Does any of this make sense?! If staff don't care -- it shows -- just close down the restaurant.
