There are arcade games to occupy kids or adults as well in Izzy's. Service is chill - everything was brought over to us ordered via QR code which is nice for a large group to be able to independently order.

Bike Lane Brewing Café -- 9/10…read more Such a cute spot with a really nice, laid-back atmosphere! I had a cup of wine and really enjoyed it. The service was great too -- everyone was attentive, friendly, and welcoming. My favorite part is definitely how cyclist-friendly this place is. I LOVE that you can access it right from the bike trail, which makes it such a perfect stop during or after a ride. Great atmosphere, great service, and such a cool concept. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially on a cycling day!

I hope they do well for themselves! I'll be honest... I do not drink. Just never liked the taste of alcohol. So I was trying this spot for the food, which greatly disappointed. Since there's nowhere to get good BBQ in the area I thought I'd try the sliders here. Slider Trio (bbq): The brisket was so dry and tough I could've cobbled it into shoes. Pulled pork was mid, but had a strong black pepper aftertaste I couldn't pin down until I realized it came from the bbq sauce. So basically that sauce is okay, kind of, but then it hits you with all the black pepper and that's all you can taste. Pulled chicken, like most pulled chicken in this area, had no real taste. But at least the pork and chicken were not dry. I thought the size of the sliders were perfect, the buns decent, and the slaw all right. Would've liked a slaw that felt a bit more like slaw and less like raw cabbage, but I didn't dislike it. Wings: Crispy. I didn't expect the... parts? Some drums, some flats, some... wing tips?? I don't know what that was about but it counted for the number of items in the order. In terms of meatiness I've had worse and I've had better, but they were damn crispy. The Peruvian Aji Verde sauce was pretty good. No spice, lots of herbs. Very bright flavor. Texas BBQ sauce was the source of all that black pepper flavor. I like black pepper. Just not in place of BBQ. I had a small container of BBQ sauce leftover from Popeyes and it was, sadly, better. Mac and Cheese: Confusing? The online order page doesn't specify using beer cheese, just the online menu (which I did not look at). It's got a strong beer taste I found off-putting because I dislike beer. Portion size was good, and it was creamy enough. Love that they use Cavatappi pasta. Excellent choice and it wasn't over-cooked. I you like beer cheese, try it. Could the other food be better? Probably. I just wanted to sample some basics. Will I be back? Probably not. I'm rarely in the mood for the type of food they sell, and as stated I don't drink. But I see a great value in this place, and I hope they thrive in Oakton.

Very tasty and not hoppy. Great atmosphere for outdoor seating. It was a loverly spring day in VA!

Bunnyman Brewery apparently took over the former Mustang Sally's location in Chantilly. Because…read moreYelp is treating this as the same business listing, my old, very positive review of Mustang Sally's is now being updated to reflect my considerably less positive view of Bunnyman. I have now been to two Bunnyman locations in Northern Virginia, and Chantilly appears to be their newest. I am deliberately not reviewing their beer. Instead, I would ask anyone considering this location to think about the experience Bunnyman has chosen to create around it. I strongly dislike the self-service beer model. For me, one of the great things about the rise of craft beer in America is that it brought a human element back to beer. Craft breweries are about innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship and small business. Part of that experience is talking with the person behind the taps and asking what is new, learning about a beer, getting a recommendation, or simply having a brief conversation with someone who knows what they are pouring. At Bunnyman, much of that has been replaced by technology. You hand over a credit card at check-in and receive an electronic card that records what you pour for yourself. When you are finished, you return to the counter and settle the bill. That may be efficient, but to me it feels contrary to much of what made American craft beer appealing in the first place. Instead of someone behind the taps helping create an experience around the beer, the customer essentially operates the dispensing system. What made my earlier experiences with Bunnyman particularly strange was being presented with a tipping option at the end. The person at the check-in area seemed largely occupied with their phone and had virtually no interaction with us. When I declined to leave a tip, I received what certainly appeared to be a look of annoyance. I am generally a strong supporter of craft breweries precisely because they represent American innovation, entrepreneurship and independently minded small businesses. But innovation should not simply mean removing the human beings who traditionally make a taproom welcoming and interesting. I had a high regard for Mustang Sally's and rated it accordingly. Bunnyman may have found an efficient way to sell beer in the same space, but for me the experience is a significant step backward. It may be an efficient way to dispense craft beer. I am not convinced it is a better way to experience it.

Stopped at Makers Union in Reston on a rainy Sunday afternoon after taking our dog to the dog park…read more We sat outside on the patio with Onyx, and our server Kenny was great. When the rain started becoming an issue, he actually moved the umbrellas together to make sure Onyx had a dry spot. Really appreciated that. We started with a Bourbon Club and the Nitro Espresso Martini, then got the buffalo wings and she-crab soup. The wings can be grilled or fried and we went grilled, which was definitely the right call. Good char on them and I'd get them the same way again. The she-crab soup was also really good and perfect for a rainy afternoon. For lunch we had the French dip and the Reuben, and subbed the mac and cheese for one of the sides. Both sandwiches were solid, but the mac and cheese deserves a mention of its own. Definitely worth the substitution. Good food, good drinks, and especially good service from Kenny. Being able to hang out on the patio with our dog without the rain ruining lunch made the whole experience even better.

The biergarten has ample canopy seating with long benches and tabletops, perfect for groups! You can't make reservations. They have a strict policy of no outside food or drinks. The ambiance is very casual and there's no table service. Rather than ordering through a QR code, place your order at the bar and then you'll get a text alert when the food is ready for pick-up at the long table closest to the bar. The line is always pretty short and you can get a drink within 5-10 min, the food takes longer and even up to 1/2 hour for fries. I would stick to the beer on draft, the cocktails can be hit/miss depending on the bartender, the draft drinks tend to have better consistency. The Wildberry Mule cocktail and Pina Colada Sangria and Peach Seltzer on draft were my picks while the Bourbon Smash, Passionfruit Mojito, Pina Colada Mojito, and the Passionfruit Seltzer were misses. On the flip side, the bartenders poured a generous amount of Prosecco for Mimosas, much appreciated! The bottled Angry Orchard apple cider is generally my go-to. There's always a mocktail on the menu (came in handy when I was pregnant!) The new battered fries are so much better than last year! The menu is limited with simple bar food (bbq pulled pork sandwich, burger, grilled cheese, hot dog, fries, kettle chips). Wish there were more vegetarian options like charcuterie board, hummus and crackers, nachos, mac and cheese, etc. While I give credit for having a Veggie Burger on the menu, it's sad and disappointing. It has a very smoky meaty flavor (from the grill, not the patty) with lackluster toppings - the vegan cheese is disgusting. I would swap out the kettle chips and pay the upcharge for fries. The doughy pretzel sticks are quite salty and a step up from the movie theater. They are good for absorbing the alcohol! Despite these minor complaints, I love coming here with family and fries. So glad The Perch opened up, Starr Hill Biergarten is a great spot to kick back and relax with a beer or 2!

Unfortunately, the honey mustard was overly salty, which made it difficult to enjoy.
