Chicken nachos-ok
Caroline J.

A decent restaurant with average food. We were here with a party of 10 on a Friday evening for their pub trivia night. Pros: Can make a reservation for a large group on trivia night. Was seated right away. Service was great at the beginning. Pizza night special on Fridays (and the person who ordered the pizza from our group enjoyed it) Funnel Cake Fries Brownie Sundae Pitchers of beer Cons: Southwest salad-not good Burger-just okay Chicken nachos-not enough chips and not very flavorful Service become very slow at the end of the evening. Waitress was helping with the bar so that kind of stuck to get final bill Most likely would not be back!

Amazing and delicious fried chicken BLT

Patriots Bar & Grill feels like a true neighborhood hangout -- and there's a reason everyone there seems to be a regular. Just outside Old Town Fairfax, it's warm, welcoming, and friendly from the moment you walk in. The staff is great, the food is surprisingly good (don't miss the fried chicken BLT), and it feels more like meeting friends than going to a bar.

Pizza bites!!!  What's not to love.

Wife out of town and you have to feed two growing boys? Take them here. Awesome food and a family friendly environment before 9 pm. Service is top notch and the food is never disappointing.

A friend suggested stopping here after a movie and we have been visiting regularly ever since. The loaded tots are great as are the funnel cake fries. While those are our base items almost everything on the menu we have tried has been good. There are ways folks alter items that taste great as well, the one we learned about most recently involved the pizza being folded and cut into strips making it easier to share and snack on. The drinks here are legit as well. I'm comfortable mentioning some preferences and taking the drink suggested and prepared. The wait staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. As an added bonus they have karaoke the first Saturday of the month which is enjoyable to watch & to occasionally participate in. This is not a fancy location, it is laid back and you can tell there are some serious regulars in addition to folks who visit multiple times. It has a bar in the middle & some outdoor seating out front which unfortunately seems to cater to smokers. It's laid back and is one of those places where people you don't know sometimes pull up a chair and want to chat (often after a couple of strong drinks).

Fried chicken BLT.

Exploring the area around GMU. Good service, decent food. Typical of most sports bars: a little loud, lots of TVs, kitschy decor. Tried the fried chicken BLT - generous portion. Delicious but rather dry. Could have used more sauce, seasoning. Onion rings = great. Fries not so much. Large selection of beers! Best part really was the friendly, welcoming, attentive staff.

Bleu cheese burger.

As someone visiting from Los Angeles, I honestly did not expect to find an Irish pub in Virginia…read morethat would rank up there with some of my favorite spots back home, but The Auld Shebeen absolutely delivered. The staff was exceptional from start to finish - welcoming, attentive, genuinely friendly, and the kind of hospitality that makes you want to stay awhile. You can tell the team takes real pride in creating a warm atmosphere instead of just turning tables. The food, drinks, and overall energy were fantastic, but what really stood out was how authentic and comfortable the experience felt. Places like this are hard to find anywhere, let alone outside a major city. I've spent plenty of time in LA dining all over the place, and this spot genuinely hangs with the best neighborhood pubs and gastropubs out there. Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in the area. Special thanks to Joey, tanner and Harley! -phil

I'm a fan of their chicken pot pie and sticky toffee pudding. I've also had their fish and chips in the past and my husband liked their cheeseburger. Everything we've had so far has been solid. The staff are always warm and attentive. It's a such a fun spot in downtown Fairfax.

My husband is a die-had Arsenal fan and was overjoyed by the chaotic bar scene he encountered as soon as he entered. 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!

Introduction to Friday, October 28, 2022:…read more Continuing my runner-up of original out of town picks for 2022, O is for Ornery Beer Company Public House. Like Saturday, November 12, 2022 review of Jirani Coffee House I just wrote (2 weeks later), Friday, October 28, 2022 was one of those weird days where I traveled far from my home. There was a US Navy band concert at Hylton Center on the westside of Manassas (60 miles from home!), which I wanted to go to, and I'm an AMC A-Lister, so I combined with an Indian movie that was oddly enough only playing at AMC Herndon. On the way back from west of Manassas, I met up with 2 friends at a Fairfax music festival. Experience here: After the festival, my 2 friends & I walked to Ornery. They got food, and I just got a beer as I had already eaten dinner. My beer was solid, and the server was nice. Overall, this was a good place with a large variety of beer and seemed like some good food options as well.

Predominantly a good experience, marred by spotty service. We were a party of six, on a rainy…read moreWednesday night. We were seated right away by the host, and our waitstaff took our order quickly (as we'd requested.) The food was delivered quickly and was really good: five of us had a burger with varied toppings; one had a chicken sandwich. Everything was cooked properly to order, the burgers and chicken sandwich were very juicy, and the fries crispy. Unfortunately, the waiter failed to say they were out of slicing tomatos for the burgers (a standard complement). When asked, the manager came over to explain. Later, when the waiter brought the bill, it was $75 higher than expected, because our bill was combined with another table's bill. This was eventually corrected, we paid and departed. While the manager explained that the waiter was new, when addressing the lack of tomato slices, they didn't return to explain the error on the bill. While this is not an expensive place, we ordinarily receive at least an apology when this occurs. Some places go further, offering a free dessert, coupon for a future visit, or other complement to the meal. Not in this case, hence the lower rating. There is plenty of seating, an accessible entry, two unisex bathrooms, and plenty of TVs spread around if you're there to catch a game. No street parking, but the City of Fairfax has a structured garage on the same block, accessed from both University Drive and Chain Bridge Road. Parking in the garage is free for the first two hours.
