    Bar seating.
    Ray C.

    Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Had time to grab some food before I flight departed. We had one order of sliders and a regular cheeseburger. The fries were great, the big steak fries. The burger was just okay. The sliders were probably the better option between the two. Tall ice cold drafts were $12.

    Waiting for a connecting flight... I like the hospitality from the host, and how the employees here are accommodating to the customers. Food was decent. Typical quick fix bar food before connecting to the next flight. Nothing special. Live, love and laugh - Sha

    I arrived to Dulles Airport to take my flight and came across this Firkin & Fox "British" pub . This is not a British pub and never will be. Silly me for thinking it.be. Should be called "American stile nothing like British Pub". False advertising.

    Stranded in Dulles Airport this place offers up great drinks (bam!), has several beers on draft and makes a seriously tasty Reuben sandwich

    a sandwich and a drink on a table
    Marc L.

    Ate lunch today at Firkin & Fox while waiting for my connecting flight to Asheville, NC. This "English" pub really has zero British characteristics other than the wallpaper which has a British theme. Neither the menu nor the beers were anything even resembling anything British. Ok - they did have fish and chips - but that was really about it. I ended up having the Turkey Club with Avocado if that tells you anything. I poured some malt vinegar on my fries to try and have some sort of Anglican Experience. With the above said - I totally enjoyed this place. The waitstaff was extremely friendly and completely cognizant of the fact that service needed to be quick. They inquired whether I wanted a second beer exactly at the right point in time. I appreciated that. And my Turkey Club sandwich was delicious (although i guess it would be tough to mess that particular sandwich up) So if I'm ever passing through Dulles Airport ever again, I wouldn't hesitate to stop at Firkin & Fox for a quick meal before I jump on the plane and fly away!

    Wings
    Jim S.

    This was pretty good for an airport, the wings were cooked to order with a nice crispy skin and the fries were fresh and hot when they arrived. The manager stopped and checked on me twice and it was a good experience. It's an airport so it's pricey but that's expected.

    Much needed spirits and libations

    This was the only good thing that happened to me on a ridiculous day of covid travel. After a United Flight Attendant made me cry, I found Firkin in terminal A, it was spit polish clean and the manager welcomed me in. Tables were spaced for social distancing. I enjoyed a Stella then ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. I expected a big fried thing, but it was a delicious juicy grilled chicken instead! Hi quality, with tons of fries. I ordered a second Stella and lounged there for an hour. They played Beatles music mostly, but then switched it over to pop. It was a nice layover in DC only because of Firkin.

    Black bean burger with avocado
    Sharon G.

    This place was right in front of my gate when I arrived and I was STARVING. looking around I realized it was the only sit-down restaurant within eyesight, so I opted in. I got the black bean burger with avocado, and it also came with fries, and it was by far the BEST veggie burger I've had in a very long time. Totally recommend this place! The staff was very nice and attentive as well.

    Nachos-No meat
    Artrell W.

    I wish I had more time to sit and enjoy my food. I had to try one more place before my food adventure ended and this place was in the terminal near my gate. The staff was very cognizant of my time and they made it a point to get me everything I asked for quickly. They were also very friendly and pleasant. They were fast, but they didn't rush. I appreciate that. I didn't check into Yelp until after I had received my food. That's when I learned of the 10% coupon. They even adjusted my check after the fact for me. The food was delicious, though I wish I had not gotten the nachos to go. I didn't start eating until after we were allowed to drop our tray table during the flight (probably 45 minutes later). The flavors were still good. They use melted cheese as opposed to cheese sauce, which is disappointing to me, but I know good nachos when I eat them and these were well-balanced nachos.

    Washington-Dulles unfortunately has the worst bar scene of any major city airport I've been to. I travel a lot and I can't think of one that I would consider to be second worst... for perspective, It's easier to have a good time at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's airport. Anyways, I ended up here. I can accept the fact that their Moscow mule was not served in a copper mug, which is painful to say because it was $13.99. The one star rating is because it was shaken like a martini before it was served to me. To circle back, there aren't any other bars in the airport I can recommend going to but definitely avoid this one.

    With only 45 minutes before boarding started, we were met outside Firkin and Fox by one of their employees who promised us that we'd be served in 10 minutes or under. True to his word, our chicken tenders and fries were delivered to our table in short order. The BBQ sauce that came with the chicken was there for dunking. Good thing because the chicken was a bit dry. Not bad. Definitely edible. The fries were ok too I noticed that there are plenty of places to charge your phone under the long bar. And, many people were enjoying a cold one while charging. They have Guinness!! They also have a full bar. Service was quick and easy. Yelp offered a 10% discount which we gladly took. We made it back to the gate with time to spare. Clap! Clap! Clap!

    Wow. Only Graden on menu

    Wow, what a quaint British pub in the middle of Vienna. Parking is a little tight for this area,…read morebut you can definitely find some spots in the back on a weekday. I ended up biking and there's a bike stand really close by. My friend was craving fish and chips, so we ventured out this way. Because we came on a Thursday they had a deal going where if you ordered a pie, you could get a beer for free. Of course I had to partake, so I ordered the special pie, which was a masala, chicken, curry pie, and it was quite good. A bit small for the price point but with the beer included totally worth it also because their fries are so good. I could demolish over a pound of those fries. They were thick potato and maybe the extra added bonus of having to use a glass ketchup bottle added to it. My friend and I were also taught how to properly hit the ketchup bottle to get the ketchup out by the bartender. You find the 57 on the bottle at an angle and bump you palm there that instead of hitting the bottom and hoping and praying that ketchup comes out. It actually worked or at least it was more efficient than trying to hit the bottom of the bottle upside down. I had never had a hand pumped beer before, but it was quite good. They are a warm beer rotating and it was quite good, it especially paired well with the pie or fish and chips.

My husband is a die-had Arsenal fan and was overjoyed by the chaotic bar scene he encountered as soon as he entered. The City + Arsenal game had the entire bar packed with fans from both sides pulling up random seats wherever there was a free space. We came a bit late into the game but found a seat in a quieter area of the restaurant that still had good television access. With the dreary rain outside, it felt like we had settled right in a proper British pub! Food wise: - For my husband: Wings were generous, grilled, and delicious with interesting flavors - For me: Fish and chips were light, flakey, and came with some of the best house cut fries I've ever had. - For the kiddos: Although they had a kids menu, my daughters decided to split some pancakes (basically crepes with raspberries and cream sauce, scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Portions are more than generous and the managers were bustling around, talking shop, and thanking everyone who walked through their door. We will definitely be back!

Since we sat outside we had to go inside to place our order and then a server or someone that worked there would deliver our food. If it was a drink then they would make the drink on the spot. I think it was a bit confusing because when you sit down at a table outside you'd assume maybe someone would notice but that isn't the case. I think that's just something people should ahead on time. It may be the same case inside where you have tables to sit down at but no server to take your order, ect. Otherwise I didn't get much here other than fries and Guinness on Draft so I can at least review something food related.. Fries, crispy, there is a crunch in every bite, topped with parmesan cheese and parsley, it is pretty good for something to snack on. The Guinness on Draft is surprisingly extremely smooth and was very enjoyable; I would get it again! My friends got the poutine and I'd say after sampling it, it's great. Fries with cheese curds topped with gravy. Savory, Delicious, and filling. I'll most likely pay a 2nd visit! That Guinness is calling me!

My interpretation of the gist of what everyone was complaining about was that they used to come here all the time (as did I years ago, but it's been a year since being here) and they didn't like the new, slimmed down menu... and they definitely hated the prices here now. Our service was ok, nothing special. I feel like the majority of the servers are very young and might not have the training, nor experience to understand what true service is, not just taking orders and bringing food. The menu was nice. We liked their "Everyday is Sunday" section of the menu, so we tried 2 orders (4 persons) of the pork chop tomahawk and 1 order (2 persons) of the Côte de Boeuf. We started with their Scotch Egg - WOW! Really flavorful with a great texture, inside and out. Definitely a very nice way to start. Cocktails and wine were a hit here for sure! Especially Jarad's G&T, which we got a couple of. Main dishes were great! Plenty of food too!! The spices on the crust of the porkchop tomahawk were so tasty and the temperature was spot-on! The steak in the Côte de Boeuf was incredible! Perfectly seasoned and at that absolute perfect temperature too! The carrots that came with this were very nicely done, but the potatoes stole the show! This dish came with OUTSTANDING Fondant potatoes... They had a great, smokey flavor to them, as if they were basted in pork fat. The meat was perfectly textured and flavored. Overall - While this is no longer the Hunter's Head that many came to know, love, and enjoy, I feel they're doing a decent job here. I'll definitely return, as I want to try their fish & chips!
