Horseshoe Curve Restaurant

While celebrating a special birthday we made reservations for a birthday dinner here. I will admit…read morethat I was slightly worried after reading so many negative comments. 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!

Finaly visited the Union Jack. We had the Cod dinner, and one French onion soup. Worth a visit for…read moresure. The onion soup was fabulous! Deep rich color, clean broth, and not full of salt that is common in many restaurants. As one who makes French Onion soup from scratch and has sampled French onion soup in dozens of restaurants over many years, I would place this in the top 5. The cod was really special. Unusually very large pieces that were not drenched in a ton of batter. The result was a fresh, flaky texture and taste. The portions were such that we had leftover cod the next day. The fresh cut fries were a bonus that puts the Union Jack fries far above the typical institution, pre-made version found in most restaurants.

After reading the reviews I selected this pub after checking out the walking area in this quaint village I was offered a table in a quieter area or the bar and immediately found a seat at the bar. Selected a delicious stout to begin while glancing at the menu. I opted for the Shepards Pie since my last one happened to be when I was last in London. Service was awesome and my plate arrived quickly. This place was full but not overly noisy! I loved the pairing of the stout with the meal. Delicious pie and was not rushed to make room at the bar!

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.

This pub had excellent food & drinks. And a whole menu for many Gin & Tonic options…read more We enjoyed curry mussels, steak& ale pie, British fries and curry chicken salad. They had several pimms cups too. Highly recommended.

I have been coming to this establishment almost every night for karaoke because I always found it…read moreto be a relaxing environment with friendly people. Unfortunately, I recently had an experience that left me very disappointed. One evening, a regular customer approached me and commented that she "didn't like" that I had not tipped after winning on a machine. When I asked how she would even know that information, she quickly responded that she "must have the wrong person." Later, I learned that the owner had apparently discussed the situation with another customer, which I found very unprofessional and uncomfortable. I believe that when individuals choose to play machines using their own money, tipping should remain optional and based on personal choice. Players take their own financial risks, and no one contributes to their losses when they do not win. This establishment no longer feels as welcoming and family-oriented as it once did. Over time, I have noticed several regular customers stop coming due to ongoing drama and issues involving management. Sadly, because of this experience, I do not plan on returning.

Food was great for a pub food. The specials included the typical Irish dishes. I opted for a corn beef sandwich. I asked for a plain one and they cooked food to order.

For appetizers, we got the sampler basket of fried fish, onion rings, fries and cheese jalapeño. There were not many fries, maybe 2 or 3 which was a bit lacking. But everything tasted amazing, especially the onion rings. Love that it came with three dipping sauces, there was a cocktail sauce, sweet honey mustard and ranch. We had the grilled salmon and cheesesteak for entrees. The grilled salmon was good, came with some veggies and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were very bland, missing butter and cream. It's pretty much straight up mashed potatoes. The cheesesteak was tasty and moist and cheesy. The server came by to check up on us many times to make sure our drinks were refilled and everything was good.

The evening was beautiful, the restaurant was as quaint as you would expect!! The tuna was cooked PERFECT! Thank you to the kitchen staff!!! I asked for the check and paid it ....(despite the fact that the waiter disappeared for over 15 mins and I had to walk to the bar to ask for it!!) Left a tip and then proceeded to leave the restaurant and head to our car since both kids hadn't slept and it was past 8 pm (when I overheard the following...) Once again the server was kind and charismatic despite ignoring us in an empty restaurant where she had 3 tables when we arrived and two when we left. As we were walking out of the restaurant, the server, had the stones to show my signed check, with a 10% tip, as was warranted after ignoring us, serving me raw food and not coming back for along time.... (Sorry kitchen but the raw burger was on you for this one!) And she, had the gall to brag to another table of patrons, showing the receipt in my wife's face, that were taking away from her money, when she provided poor service!! I wouldn't dream of having her fired, hence the reason I'll never name her. " she might have had a bad day!", BUT I want her to learn a lesson about treating every customer with respect! My wife and kids didn't deserve a poor experience for our first time in your restaurant! Be kind. Be loving and understanding! Everyone can have hardships in life, as we all do, but if you're in this industry, be kind, be watchful and give a care about your job!! You never know the negative impact you can leave for fellow strangers, especially little children that enjoyed Harper's Ferry for the first time! Overall, the restaurant is excellent, food is excellent and the vibe is 8/10!

If you are black do not eat at this restaurant. They have a giant "Blue Lives Matter" flag hanging outside of their establishment. In my opinion this makes it clear that they do not want black people to spend their money here. I wish I had known that before purchasing food. Plus the food gave me a stomach ache as soon as I was done eating. Save your money and eat somewhere else. read more

Needless to say she didn't care for it at all, especially the corn salsa, She only ate half of it, and only ate it because she was so hungry from waiting way so long to be served our meal. I ordered the Cuban sandwich. Note to chef Cuban sandwiches are supposed to have a pickle on them. No pickle on mine. It wasn't the greatest Cuban sandwich I've ever had. It was not warm. Also, I don't think Cuban sandwiches are normally made with pulled pork. It should've been a slice of pork roast in my opinion. The only saving grace were the french fries. They were they were good. We'll try the paladin again in the future as the other times we've been there were good. Maybe just don't go on a Friday night.
