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!

Ordered the Reuben based on the feedback from the waitress. Best Reuben I have had in a long time. Meat was tender and and flavorful. I would order that anytime I go back.

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.

I was very pleased to have found this place (through Yelp!) since I don't visit Fredericksburg often.

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.

I entered the restaurant at approximately 4:00 p.m. after standing outside in the heat. There was…read morealready a long line of guests waiting at the bar, so I was pleased to be seated promptly. Upon entering, I informed the hostess that I had a reservation, and I was then escorted to my table. Shortly thereafter, Trevor came over to introduce himself. I advised him that Merlot is my preferred wine, and he graciously showed me the available Merlot selections. I chose a half-bottle of Duckhorn. For my meal, Trevor recommended the steak and the soup. Both were delicious. The soup was excellent, and the mashed potatoes were clearly homemade, which was a nice touch. My only disappointment was that the steak was heavily charred--almost blackened. I was also surprised that the entrée was not accompanied by a vegetable. Despite those minor shortcomings, the meal was delicious, and Trevor provided excellent service throughout the evening. In fact, I suspect that because of the overly charred steak, the restaurant generously comped my coffee, which was a very thoughtful gesture. Overall, this was a very enjoyable dining experience. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and Trevor's knowledge and attentiveness contributed significantly to my positive experience.

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!

After…read moremeeting a manager a separate night, and after hearing good things about their burgers, we finally stopped in for Sunday lunch with the family. Service: The first impression was a little mixed. The hostess wasn't very welcoming when we asked about a booth for our family of five (two adults and three younger kids) and didn't seem open to exploring the option. Thankfully, our server, DeQuandre (Deq?), completely turned that around. He was friendly, attentive, and offered great recommendations. We appreciated his visits as he was energetic and very hospitable, highly recommend asking for him when you visit. Food: We started with the buffalo dip. It comes with chips, but Deq was awesome and add some pita, which was a great call. The pita was slightly crisped (almost lightly fried) but still soft inside and paired perfectly with the dip, which had great flavor and good chunks of chicken. For burgers, we ordered the Spicy Wrangler (March 2026 Burger of the Month) and the Whiskey Burger. The Wrangler had a lot going on but the flavors worked well together. The Whiskey Burger was delicious, the sauce was a bit sweeter than I usually prefer, but the bacon was excellent. Only critique would be the burgers were slightly underdone even for medium, but still enjoyable. The onion rings were a standout, though the breading-to-onion ratio leaned a little heavy. The fries were decent but nothing particularly great about them. Atmosphere: Casual and open, but fairly loud. Even though it wasn't very busy for a Sunday lunch, the music and bar noise made it a little difficult at times to hear others at our table. I wouldn't consider this a date night type atmosphere, more casual open dining. Drinks: Solid beer selection with enough variety for most tastes, plus a small cocktail menu and a selection of wines. Overall: Harry's Downtown is a solid spot for a casual lunch or dinner. If you're in the mood for a good burger, or consider yourself a bit of a burger enthusiast, it's definitely worth checking out. This visit was positive enough to plan another visit to explore other delicious sounding menu items. We'll definitely be requesting Deq when we return! Thank you!

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.

I ordered the London Fog Sour, the classic crab dip, and the birria eggrolls. The London Fog Sour might honestly be one of my favorite cocktails I've had downtown--I loved it so much I ordered a second one. I'll be going back just for that drink. The crab dip was its usual reliable, delicious self, and the birria eggrolls were flavorful and packed with meat. Our server was fantastic and helped us decide which small plates to try. Overall, Harry's Sidecar is an excellent choice if you're looking for an intimate spot to enjoy happy hour, whether you're solo or with a group. I absolutely recommend giving it a try!
