    Fish and Chips
    Hunter B.

    Finally got around to going to this place and this is an english pub experience. All the other pubs I have been to the area has been lacking since this one has a lot of the food sourced locally to make in house and tons of great beer options. They are also the only place I have seen that has a tea service. The fish and chips were good even though two fried foods together is a lot. I tried the chana masla and I have to assume the chicken would have been better. I would go back to try more of their foods. Not the biggest place so I would assume there could be a wait on a weekend night. If you are missing an english pub then this is the place to go.

    Chips n curry!

    Had a wonderful time at Hawk and Griffin. We were able to try the amazing Happy Hour menu without having to sit at the bar. The chicken bites and fish bites and the fries with curry sauce were all amazing. Perfectly handcrafted cocktails. Will be back!

    Went in for lunch and enjoyed my meal. The fish and chips were delicious. It came out piping hot. Service was attentive. Bathroom was clean. No complaints.

    We came back to try the Full English Breakfast. Called the "Fully Monty" on the menu $19.00. Comes with 2 eggs, 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 4 slices of black pudding, fried potatoes, small ramekin of beans, sliced toast, butter, tomato & mushrooms. Was sharing with my son so got an extra side of sausage (3), bacon (2) & eggs (2) scrambled. That was like an extra $10 which was fine. I might have ordered too much but safe to say we had a take away box. The eggs were all perfectly cooked as well as the delicious sausage & mushrooms. The bacon could have been cooked a little more as well as the potatoes. They didn't taste like Idaho potatoes. A bit odd tasting. Beans were flavorless but I know it came out of a can from Heinz. The black pudding was surprisingly good. A little spice to it. Not spicy hot but flavorful spice. No hint of blood or anything wierd. The toast was good too! Rugby and soccer (futbol) playing in the backgrounds. A large contingent of South Africans came in to support their rugby team who beat Australia. Service wasn't great but average. The food & atmosphere were legit tho! Next stop, Fully Irish Breakfast (I love Irish breakfast) at Falls Church's Ireland's Four Provinces. Let's see which country has the better tasting breakfast. Better than American breakfast!

    Potato croquettes  My favorite! Sauces were creamy and tomatoes definitely balanced the meal. Potatoes and tomatoes

    Ordered to go, pick up your orders at the bar. When I got home everything was still piping hot. Potato croquettes -My favorite! Sauces were creamy and tomatoes definitely balanced the meal. Potatoes and tomatoes Fish bites - ask for extra lemon if you love lemon! The tartar sauce gave a great tang contrast to the fish. The crispness was light and not too oily. Roast beef - sandwich was delicious, I like it with the horse radish more than the dip included. The dip was way too salty for me. Definitely did not eat this in one sitting, bf ate the rest of the fish bites and croquettes and said they were pretty good!

    Chicken wings with Jerk Sauce.  Very spicy!
    Sonnet L.

    The wait staff was nice (5 starts) and the food was a little miss (3 stars). We ordered a Yorkshire Bitter and Old Peculiar, both are enjoyable. However the food was a little miss. The chicken wings with jerk was so spicy that we both had stomach aches after eating them. The Rogan Josh Lamb was obviously cooked from frozen meat. The taste and texture were off. Since it's a local pub that we want it to thrive so I will be generous with the starts...

    Scotch eggs
    Melody Y.

    Great service, friendly staff, good recommendations from the staff. Scotch eggs: hearty, crunchy, savory Fish and chips: light crispy batter, the fries were very hot.

    Great spot to watch the Premier League on the weekends. For me it's coffee with breakfast and friends. Friendly, soccer-oriented staff in a traditional British pub. Dedicated parking lot, they're located on Main Street, Vienna.

    If you want quality old school pub food and ale Hawk & Griffin is the way to go. Classic pub bar set up with live Premier League football going. Recommendations: 1. Hawk & Griffin Oggies (the slang term for Cornish pasties): perfect crust on these beef (with onion and carrot) handheld (if you want) pies. Super tasty and perfectly paired with my pint of the Old Speckled Hen. 2. Welsh Rarebit: English cheddar, Worcestershire, mustard, and lager melted over sourdough bread. Flavor bomb although I wouldn't use a lager for this. 3. Chicken & Leek Pie: another classic done the right way. Chicken, leeks, mushrooms, peas & carrots in a white cream gravy. Gravy was think not soupy. It was very chicken and leek forward and not overdone with the carrots. The crust was super buttery. They nailed this dish. Logistics: Parking on the side and back. To go ordering via Square at https://hawkandgriffinpub.square.site/

    First time dining here. I had the fish and chips, and it was excellent. The batter was crispy and tasty and the fish was very fresh and flaky. I really liked the fries (chips) too.

    Hawk & Griffin is a wonderful British Pub if you are in the Vienna area and are looking to check out British Food/Beer, ect. Inside features what you'd expect from a pub, a dining area, a separate section for a bar, and a small area for darts if you are into that. On Sunday it gets packed because people do come out to watch football ( soccer ) and you might have a difficult time parking here. If anything, please do not park at Wawa next door or you'll get towed. Be careful if you plan a visit on a busy day. I wanted to try an Full Monty, or a Full English Breakfast... and this place does it justice. It is a lot of food for those who are daring for a challenge. It features two eggs made to order, British bacon, sausage, black pudding, grilled mushrooms & tomatoes, breakfast potatoes, British beans & toast. By the time you finish this you will not want to eat anything for the whole day. I definitely walked out of here wanting to sleep after this! I also did end up getting dessert too; I craved Sticky Toffee Pudding. It's been on my mind since I went to Hell's Kitchen a few years ago. I can safely say that it's very good here too! Served hot with a scoop of Ice Cream, this is the perfect dessert to have to cleanse your palette. I honestly loved it and I hope I can come back for this again soon. Definitely check it out !

    Good food and good service. The outdoor seating to nice. We visited on Wednesday before going to Wolf Trap and so also caught the trivia set up when all hands appeared to be on deck. I enjoyed my drink as well as the French dip and several appetizers. Definitely plan to visit again & try a few more items although at the moment their French dip is my favorite.

    I saw a video on TikTok and set my mind to visit the place. It is one of the coziest places that I have visited and it's very clean. I love all those soccer/football related stuff and the TVs dialed into soccer games. Let's get to the most important reason to visit Hawk and Griffin. The food was amazing. I enjoyed that Fish and Chip so much that I burned my tongue and didn't mind. The fries/chips was really, really tasty too, but I'm glad we got one of the fries swapped for salad. Dessert was another beast was very delicious and it came with a very beautiful presentation. We had a light Pilsner with the fish and chip and it was a good pairing however, I wish they had a better selection of beers. The bathrooms were pleasantly clean. Service was great and we were attended frequently, but not too often. And we loved talking to them. Andrew and Maryam were amazing. Thank you both for making it such an incredible experience.

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Yes, but the patio has been filling up quick with the nice weather. Seats also seemed a little close to one another - something to know if your dog gets excited when too close to other dogs.… Read more

    This was my second visit to this location…read more As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by staff members. They let me check out the place before being seated. The bar area is self-seating.I chose to sit in the bar area...the only remaining big table with high chairs/table...it was packed! The happy hour is pretty awesome here. They have daily happy hour from 4-6 pm, which is pretty awesome, starting early and ending late. There is also a power hour from 3-6, where everything on the happy hour menu is $5, which is a little early!! The menu includes regular bar food and a variety of drinks (as shown in the picture). We ordered the following: -Let that "man"go - in general it's an iced drink, so I'd avoid. -Spicy pina marg - another iced drink. It was ok. -I'm Ron Burgundy (2x)- this had a nice strong coffee flavor, doesn't come with ice; I would highly recommend it...they made it so good!!! -Maker's mini nachos - There proportion of chips to toppings was off there wasn't enough toppings and too many chips, but there was a lot of cheese. -Calamari was a good portion, and tasty -Chicken tenders - they were delicious and moist There are so many items to choose from on the power hour/happy hour menu. I would definitely recommend lil B and the wings. There was live music, which was just way too loud for such a small space. We would have been okay with all the music. There is plenty of parking available in nearby garages, I believe free after 5pm. There is also timed/paid parallel parking. Would I return? definitely!

They have so many enjoyable beers it's hard to choose so I usually try a flight to try several of them. Be sure and try their Scoville Sting or any other variants of their jalapeño beer for a spicy taste you don't get most places. This place can get crowded but they do have a a good number of tables so I've always been able to get a seat and there are also seats at the bar. Service is always really friendly too. This isn't really a sports bar type place so they have a TV with a game on but it might not be your favored team. As if all that wasn't enough, you can get awesome El Tio Tex-Mex food at a stand in the back. Their chips and guacamole or queso or some nachos or tacos go perfectly with some beer. This is the best brewery in the area and I'll come back again.

They had menus for a Mexican place that delivered, service was quick with that and food was tasty, servings big. I ordered an IPA but really didn't want to ask any questions with the guy who told us the place was open.
