It makes you feel like you are at a locally owned artist's studio that also serves food and has a bar everyone looks forward to seeing their friends. The staff and servers are extremely friendly and helpful and the place seems quite busy with regulars who love gathering together. Almost makes you want to be a local... The food is well cooked and served hot. I wished I could have tried a lot more of the menu... but it was a quick stop on the way home from a beach vacation. For such a small restaurant... there are a lot of seats and looks to be able to even host a large party of 15-20 on a long bench. The Gus burger was hearty, beef patty was thick and delicious... the fries are interesting... like a hybrid between a fry and potato chip. The onion rings are large and seem to have a funnel cake coating! Crispy and well fried. The French toast is thick and fluffy and the bread density is amazing! My daughter also enjoyed the bagel and cream cheese... The BLT is filled with beautiful pieces of ham and turkey... it's so hearty! If you live in the area or are driving through... make your way here!

As much as I hate to steal everyone else's words, this really IS a "great hole in the wall…read morerestaurant". We had a very good experience there last night. The staff was VERY friendly, and the food was excellent. It was bar food (a burger and a sandwich), but it may have been the best bar food that I've ever had. Even the sides were amazing. The onion rings were real onion rings, and the fries were something I'd never seen before. They were sort of fresh potato chips and sort of french fries. They were very interesting. They did have a few true entrees on the daily specials menu. Even though it was downtown AND there was an arts festival going on less than a block away, there was on-street parking available less than a block away. The only negative that I can think of is that it is kind of loud inside. The acoustics in that old building don't absorb any sound, so they might do well to put up some sound absorption. But even though it was a bit loud and crowded with people from the arts festival (a lot of people had wristbands on), at 5:30pm on a Saturday night it wasn't really a "bar crowd", so it was still a welcoming atmosphere. All age groups were there, and everyone was in a good mood.

My mother had something from the Brunch menu, and I had the Corned Beef Sandwich thanks to the recommendation of our awesome waitress, Zoey. It did not disappoint, and I'm glad I listened. The corned beef was good, well-portioned, and a clean-to-eat sandwich that wasn't too heavy. Suffice it to say, the food and staff made it comfy and memorable. Zoey worked diligently and had the gift of gab in the best way. She knows how to get people to start talking and was attentive in the right way. She's a good waitress, and I have no doubt she'll make a good bartender.

Our hostess told us the owners had ordered and shipped from England. I enjoyed the Jägerschnitzel dinner, a hand-flattened pork loin fried and topped with traditional onion and mushroom gravy. Served with kraut, warm potato salad, and green beans. A German classic! This food tasted great and was cooked perfectly. I was very pleased to have found this place (through Yelp!) since I don't visit Fredericksburg often. I was also glad that my wife had no problem finding something to her liking, a Cali Turkey Burger. We would definitely frequent this place if we lived closer!

A friend gave us a gift card, which is how we found this place, and now we've been twice, both times for dinner. Once we sat in the dining room and once at the bar, and both were amazing in their own way. Ambiance: Upscale without being stuffy. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night, and it feels like a special occasion even when you're just there to enjoy dinner. Service: Amazing. The servers were knowledgeable and friendly, and the bartenders were just as warm when we sat at the bar. Both sides of the house made us feel taken care of. Food: Phenomenal. The steak was great, the mashed potatoes were great, and even the vegetables were great. The drinks were great too, and the spirit selection is impressive.

If you are looking for a place to have a great quality steak, a special occasion meal, or just a…read morenice meal with creative cocktails and a n extensive wine list, then this is the place. The restaurant is not huge and they have managed to get a good number of tables which as you walk through the restaurant can feel a bit cramped. When seated it doesn't feel as crowded even though the tables are close together. It is more of a challenge for the servers to navigate. The restaurant has a rustic atmosphere with exposed brick and wood. There is not much room inside if you are waiting to be seated and they will maintain a waitlist for seats at the bar. I do like that the people working the host stand will take a drink order and a server will bring your drinks while you are waiting and that will be added to your table bill so no need to worry about paying separately for the drinks. The food is very good but most entrees are a-la-carte. Prices are high but not outrageous for quality steak cuts. The wine list is extensive but most of the bottle prices are very high. There are wines available by the glass.

My partner and I took advantage of a kid-free weekend with a Saturday afternoon at Capital Ale…read moreHouse, and we're so glad we did! He had tried a sour beer at BJ's the week before and loved it, so we figured Capital Ale House's extensive beer selection would be a great place to explore more. The atmosphere was relaxed, and while the dining area was busy, it didn't feel overcrowded. We found two seats at the bar right away. There was a brief wait to be greeted, and a group who arrived after us was helped first. However, the bartender was clearly busy working the bar on his own, so we were patient. Once Daniel brought us menus, he made the rest of our visit a really enjoyable experience. Daniel was knowledgeable about the beer selection and helped us narrow down the sours by describing the flavors and sharing feedback from other guests. With that many choices, his guidance was much appreciated! We both started with a 16-ounce Crooked Run Fermentation Raspberry Empress on his recommendation, and it was easily the highlight of our visit. The color was a gorgeous raspberry-preserve red, and the flavor had just the right balance of acidity and tartness. It felt light and didn't leave us feeling overly full. It's now one of my favorite sours, and I would absolutely return for it! For our second round, we decided to branch out and try two Drekker sours. Daniel was upfront that he hadn't personally tasted the new arrivals yet, but he shared what other guests had said. I chose the passion fruit, orange, and guava, while my partner tried the strawberry mallow fruited sour. Mine was fragrant and fruity, almost like drinking tropical juice. It was good, but I missed the tartness of the Raspberry Empress and wished I had ordered another one. My partner really enjoyed his strawberry mallow, and after tasting it, I understood why. It had an interesting strawberries-and-cream flavor with that little sour-candy tongue tingle that makes you want another sip! We also split the jalapeño pierogi appetizer. Pierogies are usually one of my favorite things to order here, and these were tasty, with enough jalapeño kick to notice without being overwhelmingly spicy. I didn't enjoy them quite as much as I remembered from previous visits, but we still happily cleared all five from the plate. After eating, we took our canned sours to the back and played a couple of games of darts. A helpful tip for first-time visitors: ask the bartender for the darts. We didn't see a sign explaining where to get them, but a server pointed us in the right direction. Overall, it was a great little afternoon date: a relaxed atmosphere, tasty beer, and excellent service from Daniel. We'll definitely be back--especially for that Crooked Run raspberry sour!

My wife and I decided a long weekend trip out of town was in order, so we travelled to…read moreFredericksburg, VA for some quiet down time along the Rappahannock River. For dinner on our first night, we opted to give Brocks Riverside Grill a try and we were not disappointed. Our waitress, Mckewen, was super friendly and helpful with both ordering selections when both of us have Shellfish allergies and later pairing our entrees with wines. For starters, we ordered drinks. My wife ordered a glass of Chardonnay and I ordered a Spicy Margarita. We shared an appetizer of Crispy Brussel Sprouts and bread rolls that came with a delicious oil and garlic dipping sauce. The main dining area was sparsely attended by other dinner patrons, with large windows to one side overlooking the river. For entrees, my wife selected the Roasted Beet Poke Bowl which she described as "light and refreshing" and I ordered the 16-oz Marinated Ribeye, cooked to Medium along with sides of mixed Seasonal Vegetables (sliced Zucchini & Squash) and Redskins Mashed potatoes with an order of mushrooms to go on top of the steak. I also ordered a nice glass of Merlot wine to go with it. The portions were generous, and the entrees perfectly prepared, and very tasty. If there was any fault at all, it was that the ribeye was a little too laden with a ring of fat rather than simply marbled, but otherwise no complaints. For dessert, I ordered a slice of Key Lime Pie and my wife ordered Crème Brûlée. Both were appealing to the eye and each bite beckoned us to take another bite. It is certainly someplace we would go to again.

We were a party of 5 at the bar on Sunday. I ordered a Brock's Crush to share with my girlfriend…read moreand I. 2 other's of the party ordered a drink too. We didn't get the bartender's name, but it was the one with the shorter straight hair and mustache. The drinks he made were great and delicious. However, his service was extremely disappointing. He handed our receipts back and my total amount was $10.02 and my friend's was $13.36. However, my friend and I were both charged $13.36 to our accounts. When I asked him about the extra charge and the receipt difference, he quickly dismissed it saying it was probably taxes. I explained to him that it wasn't, since it was the exact amount on the receipt. He said he would process a refund for me since he accidentally switched our bills. My friend and I went to the register for my refund. Instead of reversing the charge, he told my friend to Cash App me $2 to even it out, rather than issuing a refund like he said he would. That money would have come out of my friend's own bank account, not their bill, so it didn't make sense. I asked him again if he can just process the refund, and he declined to process my refund by insisting we use CashApp instead. I wasn't comfortable having my friend pay for my refund. I left and I wasn't able to receive my refund. I checked my account today, which is why I'm leaving this review. The finalized charge is $15.36 on my account. How did I end up getting charged $5 more than I should've? My receipt said $10.02, I got charged $13.36 that night, and my finalized charge is $15.36? I didn't leave a tip, so I'm not sure whether this was a tip adjustment or another mix-up, but I never authorized the extra charge. Overall, throughout his service, we didn't feel any hospitality. He was mumbling and staring at the bar tv when taking my other friend's order. He mixed up my friend's drink and mine when he gave them to us. He mixed up our bills and didn't provide my refund. He was giving great service to the other customers. More kept getting added to the snowball than it just being a small thing or two. Now, there's an extra charge I didn't authorize, so that's the cherry on top. Lastly, moral of the story is the principle of all this. It's just a measly few dollars, yes.. however, we were a paying group of customers that deserved an honest bill and basic respect. If I let it slide over a few dollars, then I'm just saying the principles only apply when the amount is big enough to matter. This was a snowball of mistakes, not just one. We are very reasonable and respectful young working adults. Whenever we go out, it's a natural effort for us to give our server an easy time since we understand. However, it felt as if the bartender just perceived us as a group of young adults he can brush off. If it wasn't like that then it shouldn't have felt like that. There was another gentleman across the bar who he was giving excellent service to, we would've loved to see that side. P.S. I 100% shoulda called for the manager I know, I know... but it's a night out with friends, who's tryna do that?
