Hockey puck

Service A+ Ambiance B- (it is a sports bar after all) Food C+ Let me preface this by saying that it may be just a sign of the times. Last week I ordered a lamb shank and it was delicious. This week I had the Greek salad (small), New York strip, and a Guinness draft. I ordered the New York strip medium rare and it came back to me about a half inch thick and had the consistency of a hockey puck. Maybe that's a bit harsh, let's just say that I had my server, Tim (good job), put it in a doggie bag and I took it back home for my Shih Tzu (yeah, it was that bad). I'm not even sure how much of it really is their fault. The price of beef has gone so far up in this country that I recently read in the Washington Post that several top Texas BBQ joints have taken brisket off their menu and substituted in cow cheeks because they would have to charge about $50 a pound for it (Texas! tnx Donald). I did not ask for a refund, and they were kind enough to comp me a delicious cheesecake so the evening was not a total loss. Just be aware.

Gyro and Greek salad
Engrish T.

The chicken shawarma is on point. Well seasoned chicken and great bread. The toum is perfectly garlicky to accompany it. That's what brought me back a second time. However, the salad that came with the gyro was missing the dressing. I thought it was an honest mistake but it happened a second time, even requesting Greek dressing in the notes. Both times were takeout so I can't comment on the ambiance but I'd have to ding the service for forgetting the dressing, twice.

Simple, quick and delicious! Not a sophisticated place but well maintained enough so you can sit, rand enjoy a delicious meal without dressing up or pronouncing their menu items.

Great food. Wonderful live music and beautiful interior. Ysmael was a great server and did a great job of giving us a tasty experience.

Free appetizer

Another successful post-winery dinner! Food (5/5): We split the gyro dinner and barely finished it the serving was so big. The salad was fresh, the fries were perfectly cooked and the gyro meat was delicious as always. The food is really great here. Service (5/5): Tim was really kind and efficient. Great service!

Zucchini Fritters - so good!!!!

We found this restaurant for lunch before watching a movie in the nearby Fox Regal Theater. The restaurant was not full at all on a Sunday afternoon, and we were promptly seated. The service here is impressive. The server kept checking on us. The person at the front desk already had our table set up as we had made prior reservations. Definitely a notch above what we get at most restaurants today. Here is what we ordered: - Zucchini Fritters: these are just delicious. Perfectly seasoned and so good. Definitely a must have. - Lentil Soup: this is a big size portion. Easily shareable by two. We were expecting mezze style, but this was definitely bigger. And the soup was delicious. The tinge of lemon was a perfect touch. - Mezze Platter: this is quite a big size platter. Everything from the hummus, the falafels, grape leaves, and other things were delicious. - Tabouleh: this was decent. Tasted good. - Falafel sandwich: this was yummy too. Wish the falafels were a bit more flavorful and spicy. Felt a bit bland. The complementary pita chips and hummus were really good too. Overall, we loved the food here. Definitely highly recommended. Lots of vegetarian options and delicious. Definitely give it a try.

Festive decor and a full bar

Headed to see a movie with my husband and we had some time to kill. We are still new to the Ashburn area but we stumbled upon this gem. It was just after lunchtime and the place was moderately busy. We were seated upon arrival, drink and food orders taken. They have a full bar and 2 dining areas. One is off to the side for larger parties. While we waited we were given hummus and homemade pita chips. This little pre meal surprise was so yummy. The hummus was perfectly seasoned and the chips were crispy and fresh. My husband had the chicken shawarma wrap and French fries. I had Chicken Souvlaki you can get just the entree or you can add a Greek salad with fries for a few dollars more. Overall you get fresh, delicious quality food for a great value. Our waiter Nick was nice and so welcoming! Looking forward to many more visits and next time I will try the baklava.

Visited Nick's for the first time. Food was very flavorful and plentiful. Salads were fresh with great dressings. All four people in our party had great meals. Service was very good. Our server (Justin) was very attentive and provided exactly what we asked for. I'm getting hunger just thinking about going back. The restaurant is nicely lit without being too bright. They had live music on Friday night which was a nice treat. Great job all around!

Let's be "honest" it's very hard to be able to find a place that both serves parents and kids well. They even have some kids menu options. Win! Anyway, I tried the hazy beer and it was quite good.

My experience wasn't the best as our waiter forgot to put in our drinks and food, so I waited almost an hour for a drink and 2 sides, but our party was big and they comped our meals and apologized. The ambiance inside and outside is very casual, good for big groups to meet up and relax. However, there was a lot of flies and bugs inside which made it really overstimulating to eat, especially when they'd fly into our drinks. The food was okay, my sweet potato fries were soggy and salty and my brussels sprouts were burnt. My drink also wasn't that great, I got a passionfruit mosaic cider, which tasted more like a wine than a cider tbh. Very disappointing after the long wait. Honestly, I think this would be a good place to chill since the food and drinks are affordable, but the service experience was so bad I don't know if I would come back.

Patrons are mostly locals and repeat customers, which I love. They do Thursday evening football games and have some soccer affinity too. Usually there's ice hockey playing as well. Ragz loves their chilli burgers and gets one pretty much every time. I usually get their quesadilla. They are very good with customizing orders for me - for example, I ask for less chicken and lots of veggies in my quesadilla and they always get it right. I also like their soups, which rotate. The chicken and rice is a good one, as is the tomato soup. Not a huge fan of the wings I have tried so far, honestly. Service is great. Ashley is my fav! Overall, I love coming here for the cozy hometown bar feel. You'll find us here on Thursdays!

Ashburn Pub still has the best fish and chips I've ever had. We've tried much of the menu and have never been disappointed. I even stopped there first after flying into town today.
