When we arrived, we were greeted by the host and she sat us down. I really loved the aesthetic of the rustic look. Our sever was sweet and eager to explain all the specials and deals they had. They also gave my best friend a glass of champagne for her birthday. We ordered the following: - Deviled Eggs- these were so good that we ordered it twice! Creamy and warm - Brussels Sprouts- So sweet and loved the texture - Hot Honey Shrimp- Spectacular! - Pepperoni Flatbread- That was ate up in seconds - The Sweetheart wine flight- We loved it - Salmon Risotto- Salmon was perfect. I wish the Risotto was creamer and not firm I think she would go back and I would too.

I got the veal parmigiana because it was a special and it was just a little rubbery. I didn't care for the meat, but everything else was fabulous. My wife got the Shrimp Alfredo Pasta and it needed a little more sauce, it was just a little dry.

We stopped after visiting the NHP - it's a quick walk from the junction of C&O and GAP. I've worked in restaurants - this place is top notch. We had both soups - a GF chicken noodle soup and a vegan kale & artichoke (coconut) cream soup. The flavors were incredible. You can tell they spend a lot of time perfecting their soup. We also had sushi, a Tuna Maki roll and a California roll. The California roll was GF because they use ACTUAL (Maryland) crab instead of surimi. It was super good. Super. Service was easy with both paper menus, or a convenient ordering screen. They have a full bar, too. They have tables as well as couch/chair area. You can get self-service water, too. Super comfy and welcoming.

This time I was passing by at dinner time so checked it out. It was Trivia Night so I opted for outside at one of the small 3 patio tables. The street has an outdoor dining vibe with two other restaurants also with outdoor seating. You put in your order at the bar (at least this Wednesday night) with a welcoming bartender on easy check list for sushi and ramen. I was stopping on the late side and those finishing their meals were clearly enjoying themselves. Many knew each other across tables as lots of stopping by for chats among friends. The pork belly in the ramen was definitely my jam as it had a crunchy top with easy to come apart pieces. Definitely the highlight. Not nearly as big a fan of the Asian greens which fell into almost a paste, the mushrooms not looking like they were fresh (to be fair there is a shiitake option I missed), and the smoked eggplant a little too chewy. And I took a flyer on the "special broth" without asking what it was so that is on me. But the really dark perhaps cinnamon infused (don't hold me to it) version was not something for me. The noodles were ample but not plentiful and were legit. So I think I'd opt for Nori instead of Asian greens next time and go with more traditional toppings. But definitely endorse the pork belly. I tried a smoked eggplant sushi role as something new. Just fine, I've tried it but I'll try another combo they have next time. And I know the economics are tough these days and specialty roles are routinely low teens in cost, but I'd suggest a two tier pricing scheme rather than $13.00 for one with a single ingredient and just 6 rather than normally 8 for specialty rolls. Glad I stopped and I will again to try some of the other fare. Just may be a little more traditional in my choices next time.

Since starting the Washington County Ice Cream Trail, we have come to Buddy Lou's once a year, 3…read moreyears in a row. Each year we stop for dinner and Ice Cream. I'll start by saying I do like the unique style of this restaurant. Design wise. They use to have a "booth" that was basically a literal couch. It was sooo comfy and I loved it. Unfortunately they did get rid of it about 2 years ago or so. :( They are extremely dog friendly and have an additional restaurant downstairs "Dog-on-dining" (haven't tried that out). Which personally, I also love. Year 1: Good, friendly, fairly fast service. Good menu variety. And the food tasted good as well! Really no complaints! Year 2: We sat at a table right by the bar. The bartender was our waitress. (Important note because we could see her basically the whole time and what see was doing) and respectfully she wasn't that busy. But it took almost 20 to 30 minutes for her to even come to the table and get our drink order. So we ordered our drinks in food at the same time. Food came out. It was okay, something's tasted better than other things. But for the price and how long it took, I don't think it was really worth it. While eating, I needed a drink refill, again I can see our waitress behind the bar. Not doing nothing but from the time our food was dropped off to the time we finished eating, she didn't come over to check on us. Which was annoying. When she did come over she was nice and friendly, but not really apologetic because I don't think she knows how slow her service is. Year 3: okay 1 good trip - 1 bad trip, so we needed a tie breaker. Again sat at a table near the bar. They had 2 host, and 3 waiters working and probably 7 to 8 tables??? Spilt between the 3 of them. So not very busy. Fortunately, this time the host got us our first round drinks (soda). About time our waitress came over, id say we were there for about 10 to 15mins. We ordered wings as an appetizer and our meals at the same time. Again I think it took 20 to 30 minutes for the wings to come out. In that time, our waitress did not check on us. Didn't say "sorry about the wait" "wings should be up shortly", nothing. And yet again i can see our waitress and other staff standing behind the bar. Which okay whatever but check on your table before having a chatting session? Food came out, shortly after that. I got a chicken sandwich that was a little extra crispy lol and my boyfriend got fried catfish? I believe? I will give credit, the wings were good and had a nice crispy skin. The main meals were both just alright. But again for the wait and the cost ($70) it's just not really worth it. After finishing the meal, we waited 10 minutes and then had to go find someone else to bring us our check. I wasn't trying to be there all night... FINALLY! We get to go downstairs to the Ice Cream Shop (which is why we came in the first place) at 8:05 and they were "technically closed" - pretty sure the restaurant closes at 8:30 but okay whatever. The girl kind of offered to still scoop us some Ice Cream but at that point I'm over it. So we got our Ice Cream Stamp at left. Already decided next year will be a strictly Ice Cream Only trip. Such a shame because it really is a cute place. But I don't like paying $70-$80 to basically be ignored for a hour and a half.

The fries were soggy to the point that my lady friend did not even finish her share of them. Which is EXTREMELY unusual as she LOVES sweet potato fries! We sat outside and the ambiance is nice. The only saving grace was our server Clarence provided friendly and efficient service and the Margarita was fairly tasty.

The staff were kind, helpful, and attentive. We sat outside in the back as it was a beautiful day and despite it being near a popular area, the busy street didn't seem as loud as I originally thought it would be.

Their wine list is extensive, and their $35 corking fee is par with other similar restaurants. The shrimp & grits were good, with just the right flavors in the stock. Although some of my shrimp were overcooked, the other nuances of the dish more than overcame that oversight. The squash blossoms with goat cheese was also a perfect start to my meal. Among the many fine dining options in Leesburg, this is definitely a spot to return many times.

The buffalo dip appetizer was not too spicy and had a tangy flavor from the blue cheese in it. My Reuben was HUGE. I could only eat half of it. The crinkle fries were tasty and the homemade ranch dressing was perfect for dipping. My son got the chili and he and my husband couldn't stop talking about it. It was just the right amount to spice but a little sweet as well. My other son had the crabby chicken melt and it was smothered in crab dip and cheese. We usually avoid seafood when we aren't close to the water but we made an exception since it was MD and we weren't disappointed. I don't recall our server's name but she was super sweet, friendly and gave us updates periodically on our order. She was also quick to get our drinks refilled.
