    I will start by saying my s/o and I stumbled across Jimmys after an event. First, there's plenty of parking across the street (Municipal parking). You'll cross the street back into Jimmys. It has a bar type feel, with the actual bar right as you enter. We got seated by the window and ordered a platter, cheesesteak, and poutine. My goodness- when I say the food is made with love, I am not kidding. There are so many restaurants in the DMV area, and what I've noticed is that a lot of the food is just okay and expensive. Jimmys has really affordable dishes, generous portions, and the taste and quality are there. We loved the cheesesteak and poutine. I was thoroughly surprised. Simi was our server and she was so kind, knowledgeable of the menu, and just all around great energy. We are looking forward to coming back to Herndon just to make sure we hit up Jimmys again!

    I wasn't sure what to think when I walked in. The first thing I noticed was the smell of smoke when I opened the door. Thankfully, smoking is confined to the bar. The dining room is smoke-free. The ambiance is Buffalo NY. I had the Buffalo platter which included wings, a beef-on-weck sandwich, kielbasa, and pierogies. All delicious and for a reasonable price. The mango cart wheat beer was one of the best beers I've ever had. Service was quick and friendly with the exception of getting the check. We had to flag down the waiter to ask for it. To be fair, he was pretty busy. I would have been bothered much more if the food was slow.

    The restaurant is a huge Bills team fan, gives sports vibes, locals all around. We went for a friends birthday dinner - The food was overall okay, nothing spectacular & it didnt really stick out. We ordered the hottest wings and there was literally no spice to it. Service was ok too, our server was nice but very slow. We had to flag him down a couple of times just to order or get refills. The cool part was in the back, at night theres an outdoor bar with super loud music and full of people having a great time. They even have outdoor heaters which i greatly appreciated. Overall its a bit out the way for me, and probably wouldnt go back unless we are in the area.

    A good bar for Buffalo fans - they are all-in. The food they do well is wings: Buffalo wings in the style of the Anchor Bar. I prefer Duffs, but these are still pretty yummy..

    A random FB post lead us to Jimmy's which is about 30 minutes away from us in Arlington. We first went on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed a beef on a weck (basically a Buffalo version of a French Dip) it comes with fries, cole slaw and pickle - it was excellent and only $13 (Feb 2026). We returned the following Saturday night for their Prime Rib special- 10 oz prime rib, baked potato and vegetables plus choice of soup or salad - again excellent and for only $19 (larger portion is a few dollars more). Good choice of beer and wine, friendly staff and overall good vibe. Free parking in the municipal lot a block away. Next time we'll have to come for the live music.

    We here for lunch with a friend (been plenty of times) and never disappointed. Prompt and courteous service. Their cheesesteak is worth the hype. The pic speaks for itself.

    Philly with mushrooms, Jameson and Vienna Lager. Outstanding meal!

    This place is seriously epic. Grab a chair and tell Elliott the bartender you want a Philly cheesesteak wit WIZ add mushrooms, pint of Vienna Lager, and a shot of Jameson. This is one of the best meals I've had in a minute, the cheesesteak is legit, this is better than the shops in Philadelphia, the portion and flavor are on point. Each bite into that Amoroso roll you can hear an eagles fan complaining about something, it's that authentic. I like Herndon. God Bless America.

    You can see the difference in the Rueben from the website picture and my actual Rueben.

    I was very disappointed with this place. The service wasn't great, but that wasn't my main expectation. What I did expect was much better food, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. If you decide to go, I would not recommend the Reuben--I received one with barely two slices of corned beef.

    Had the Jimachos. That chili is on point, just the right heat and tad bit of sweetness.

    Very cool place.

    If you're a bills fan you'll love this place. They also happen to have the most authentic buffalo wings and sauce outside of NY.

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.

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!

The cozy atmosphere, stone hearth, and warm decor make it the perfect place for a date night, a special occasion, or just a great evening out. The food is outstanding. The crab dip, the housemade pasta, and the burger are all incredible -- clearly made with real care and quality ingredients. The cocktails are equally impressive and keep pace with the food perfectly. The variety of seating -- dining room, lounge, patio, rooftop, and fire-pit areas -- means there's a perfect spot for any vibe, whether you want something intimate and quiet or lively with live music on the weekends. Service was warm and attentive, and the whole experience felt genuinely special without being stuffy. This place has become my go-to recommendation for anyone visiting the area.

It projects an English modern cabin vibe, but with a touch on whimsy (see mustache coat hangers on booths!). The fireplace is centrally located and gives off an essence of coziness. Complimenting the ambiance, the service was great! The server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, making great recommendations. We came for brunch and ordered the breakfast burger and pork belly breakfast sandwich. We also split the avocado toast as a starter (we were starving!). The avocado toast was perfectly prepared - toast was cripsy on the outside and chewy and thick on the inside. Ample smattering of smashed avocado with the fixin's. The burger was very good and my friend said they would totally order it again. The pork belly breakfast sandwich held together perfectly despite the inside being heavy. Pork belly remained perfectly crunchy and it had a heavy helping of melted cheese that was not overpowering. Brunch was amazing and we want to go back and experience the patio when it's warmer and also some live music! Such a great vibe and good food!
