This review is for the newly opened Lovettsville, VA, location…read more Lovettsville has a great new restaurant! The employees are friendly, gregarious and attentive. Service was really fast & this was only their 3rd day open. Their prices are more than reasonable in these times of stretched home budgets. Best of all, the food was quite good. My wife & I both wanted the Nutty Cat (the Twisted Cat version of a peanut butter, bacon cheeseburger). We were not disappointed at all. Great food, great service, wonderful location. Lovettsville hit the jackpot with Twisted Cat Tavern coming to our little town.

When they arrived they seemed oddly small for what you would expect, more so trimmings than "Steak Tips." For dinner I was between a couple of items, but I rushed myself to order the Steak and Cheese. When it arrived it appeared that I received the previously mentioned "steak tips" sandwiched between bread, with some condiments and cheese. Maybe I should have read the description a bit more carefully or maybe I expected something more typical of a Steak and Cheese. I did want to order the steak tacos after both, just to see if they were the same. Someone please let me know. I understand that restaurants will utilize ingredients across multiple dishes but this just seemed ridiculous.

I ordered a Reuben sandwich with coleslaw. They make their own Thousand Island dressing and coleslaw, all using fresh ingredients. The corned beef was sliced thin and perfectly cooked. It was a very good Reuben, and the coleslaw was fantastic. (If you love Reubens, you definitely know when a place shouldn't be allowed to make one -- The Fountain Grill gets a solid stamp of approval.) As for the atmosphere, it's a simple, booth-style family restaurant -- comfortable and intimate. I liked the place and the people.

We were treated as treasured family guests! The food was soooo good! Everything is completely prepared in house and they are, as they should be, very proud of their creations!

We found this wonderful restaurant on Yelp. It was close to the hotel where we were staying and parking our car on the first leg of our journey to Madrid. We will definitely return next week when we retrieve our car! Buon appetito!

I wasn't super starving, so the buttery warm lobster roll sounded like it would hit the spot, and it did. It was delicious and loaded with lobster. What I didn't expect was that beautifully charred corn on the cob... wow was that delicious too. And thin, crispy fries! Oh yeah! I almost forgot I started off with an amazing shrimp cocktail with plump, dense, cold shrimp served on ice. The cocktail sauce had a nice kick to it too. The menu was extensive and there's surely something on it for any seafood lover. I'd come back if I was in the area as it was probably the best meal I had in Leesburg.

I've been to LPH several times over the years, and really enjoyed everything about it. This is my…read morefirst visit since the new owners took over. We had a reservation on a Thursday at 5:30 and were seated promptly. Our waitress, Ellen E, was pleasant and attentive. First we asked about happy hour (which goes until 6) and were told this is only applicable at the bar. OK, I guess, but not very friendly especially to those of us who are height challenged and can't do the high bar stools - and who also might want to enjoy a meal. I had an LPH burger and subbed sweet potato fries for regular fries. I was surprised to see a $2 uncharge on the bill since on the menu (which I just checked again online) these 2 items (regular and sweet potato fries) are exactly the same price. I mentioned this to the gentleman who took our checks (another server) and he said he was told this was how to charge it. My friend also had an LPH burger and asked for yellow mustard instead of the dijonnaise that was included. She was charged $0.25 for this "addition." Again, we were told this was how they were directed to write the tickets. I don't think I've ever written primarily about pricing policies. But honestly the $2 and the $0.25 - combined with the happy hour only being at the bar - seemed very nickel and dime. Despite the food being ok, I don't think I'll return as these policies left a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended).

I came here with co-workers for dinner after a day of meetings.

Our server was the real deal, too, and spoke with a wonderful accent that proved it. She was helpful and friendly, and the ambience was comfortable and fun. The chips had just the right amount of salt, and the salsa was tasty. I appreciated that one of the salsa options was flavorful without being spicy. (Don't worry; they have a spicy salsa, too, if you have a less tender palate than my own.) My entree, the Bandera Mexicana Enchiladas (with three enchilada sauces in the colors of the Mexican flag), was delicious and filling. I would gladly come back here if in the mood for Mexican food while in the area. Very glad to have visited!

I started with a couple of drinks, and let's just say the bartender had a generous pour--if you know, you know! The cheesesteak rolls were absolutely spot on. They were so good I almost ordered another round. For my entrée, I had the salmon with grits. Not everyone knows how to make good grits, but they did a good job. The salmon was cooked well, and the entire dish was delicious. Overall, it was a great first experience. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu.

The service is consistently excellent at every location, and you can tell they take tremendous pride in it. However, I have to give a special shoutout to Joe, the bartender at the Leesburg location. This man is, hands down, the best bartender I've ever encountered, both in the United States and overseas. He's so exceptional that I still remember the very first time he took care of me. His outstanding service and hospitality made such a lasting impression that I've been a regular at the Leesburg location ever since! As a business developer and salesman, I frequently entertain clients, and Joe is one of the main reasons I love bringing them to this particular location. He is a truly classy, elegant, and charismatic gentleman who knows how to make every guest feel welcomed and appreciated. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality are second to none. He understands that exceptional service goes beyond simply serving food and drinks; it's about building relationships and creating memorable experiences that keep people coming back. Joe is a tremendous asset to Blue Ridge Grill, and I sincerely hope his dedication and exceptional service receive the recognition they deserve!

What a wonderful experience! The restaurant is a very, quite spacious and very welcoming. It's right next to a lake and so the setting was lovely. We had an indoor/outdoor room with doors that opened to the outside. I had a raspberry lemon martini with a sugared glass rim. Very nicely presented. They have a very varied menu and they also have a large gluten-free menu. We both had the lobster bisque as a starter and then we both ordered the fish tacos. The soup was filled with lots of lobster meat and was delicious. The fish tacos were made with cod and the waiter mentioned that the slaw had some habanero chile in it. I asked if it was spicy and he said it might have a slight kick, but was not spicy. He was absolutely correct and in fact, if he hadn't mentioned the habanero I would not have picked up on it at all. It was really good. If you order bread, (and you have choices on type), you are charged I think a dollar per order, but that is donated to help people who are food challenged. We were full from our dinner, but we could not pass up an order of key lime pie for dessert, which we shared. It was a hard choice because they had a special dessert which was chocolate peanut-butter pie. I wish we could have had both. Their other desserts also sounded great. By the way, a portion of their revenues from desserts are also donated to help those who need food assistance. I was very impressed that they do that. I want to mention that the wait staff was also great. Friendly, attentive, but not over-bearing. I can't say enough about Sweetwster Tavern. If I find myself in this area again, I will definitely be back.

Not sure is that worked though since GARs are notoriously great places to work. :) As for food, I don't care how old I get, the chicken tenders are a forever favorite, but their Cajun pasta is my absolute favorite thing on the menu. Also, don't sleep on the Ozzie rolls, and when it's on the menu the crab Louie is incredible. My husband is obsessed with their burger - that's actually his baseline for any restaurant we eat at now. It's a huge space, and they do get really busy, but they take reservations, so it's usually not a problem getting a table. Highly recommend if you are in the area. I wish we had GARs in NC. I miss them so much! Bonus: they are really good with allergies and picky eaters.
