    Pete's is a fun and inviting bar/restaurant. The Ribeye Steak is to die for! They have live music and a friendly environment. The bartender Bo is super friendly and attentive every time I come in!

    Salmon special

    Really 4.5 but yelp wont allow that. Low key local place that really surprised me. Very small menu, but rotating specials that are above average for bar food. I had the salmon with lemon sauce and capers special and was kinda leery to order medium rare, but it came out great. Went on a Saturday and got live music as an added plus. Nice little place that doesn't look like much from the road but is worth the stop.

    Caesar salad with grilled chicken

    Excellent food with live bands on certain nights. Friendly staff. Hidden gem in Springfield. Older crowd that like to dance. Bo the bartender is super cool and makes everyone feel welcomed. I went there 2 nights in a row. Lots of different bands to enjoy.

There's not a bad seat in the house , TVs are mounted on every wall and all around the bar. It's connected to the mall, so parking is plentiful. I ordered the Korean ribeye and it did not disappoint cooked well, and a great option if you want something a little different from the usual bar food. Heads up, it's a ribeye so it will more than likely be fatty. No complaints with the food, service, or ambience across the board. Solid spot for game day or just a good meal with friends.

We usually sit at the bar where there are always a team of servers. We're beer drinkers and they offer a large selection of their house and other brews. The food menu has a lot of variety and is continually being updated with new items. They're currently celebrating Oktoberfest and offering a souvenir stein with $5 refills for a limited time. We tried the spicy beef noodles last night. There had been a version we had a few years ago then it was gone and we were happy to see it return. The vegetables were stir fried where they were still crunchy, the noodles had the right bite, the beef was tasty and the gochujang added a touch of spice. Delicious! They also have chopsticks upon request. If I'm looking for lower calories and to get my greens I order the Ahi Tuna Crunchy Salad. There's usually sports showing on the TVs and it's a celebratory spot so there's always energy. Food quality and choices are always good, the crowd is lively and parking is easy. This is one of our go-tos.

Everything we tried tasted fresh, the rolls were flavorful, and the presentation was really nice too.

The standout, though, was our server, Gabi. His service was spectacular--prompt, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful without ever feeling overbearing. He checked in at exactly the right moments, kept everything moving at a perfect pace, and somehow made the whole experience feel both polished and personal. What impressed us most was his special attention to details, whether it was guiding us through the menu, ensuring our drinks and timing were on point, or noticing the little things that elevate a meal from good to memorable. For drinks, I went with the margarita flight, and it did not disappoint. We also ordered appetizers, and they arrived with that "right on time" feel--warm, well-presented, and clearly prepared with care. Every bite delivered, and the timing was spot-on, letting us enjoy the experience rather than feeling rushed or left waiting. Overall, Maggie McFlys earns its reputation the right way: great food, an inviting atmosphere, and--most importantly--service that shines. Thanks Gabi!

I left 3/4 of my sandwich uneaten. Although, the onion rings were good. With all the problems our table of four had, you might have thought the manager might have come over to talk with us ... no where to be seen. Our waitress was nice and apologized several times.

    So... this was an interesting experience in customer service!…read more I used the FANZO sports bar finder website (fanzo.com) to determine that a pay-per-view boxing event was "confirmed" (per the website) to be showing at Dave & Buster's Springfield this past Saturday afternoon. I called the location ahead of time that Saturday and spoke to a D&B employee, who confirmed that the bar would be showing the boxing event. I drove 20+ minutes to the location and, after waiting at the bar for a while, I was told that, after checking with the manager, Dave & Buster's would NOT be showing the event--even though it had been listed as "confirmed" on the sports bar finder website and despite D&B staff confirming it over the phone less than an hour earlier. On my way out the door, I noticed a poster advertising another boxing event (Errol Spence vs. Tim Tszyu) that Dave & Buster's planned to show later that night. I didn't see the event confirmed anywhere online so, when I got back home, I again called Dave & Buster's to confirm that they'd at least be showing the boxing event that night, given the poster advertising the event near the front entrance. They quickly confirmed that yes, the event would be showing. So a couple of hours later, I again drove 20+ minutes back to Dave & Buster's Springfield to watch the event and patronize the venue. Upon arrival, one of the first things I noticed was that the poster I'd seen near the front door just a few hours earlier had been removed. I asked a D&B front desk employee about the event, and she sheepishly replied that the venue had "planned" on airing the event but was unable to do so (for some unexplained reason). So that was two sporting events advertised as airing that same day that ultimately weren't shown. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me, I guess! Later that night, I emailed Dave & Buster's Guest Relations (corporate) to explain what had happened and express my frustration with the experience. To my surprise, they responded promptly the next day (on a Sunday!), apologized, and credited me with Dave & Buster's gaming chips as a gesture of goodwill. (I did have to pay a little out of pocket to purchase the Power Card needed for Guest Relations to transfer the gaming chips, but I nonetheless very much appreciated the goodwill gesture.) So I'd definitely rate the initial experience at the location a 1, but I'd rate D&B Guest Relations' prompt response and gesture of goodwill a 4 or 5. So they get a 3 overall from me (higher than their current Yelp average). I'll say that my experiences at this venue prior to this past weekend have generally been good. I just don't think I'll feel comfortable relying on this location for pay-per-view sporting events anytime soon, and, given the experience I had here, I'd warn others to independently verify any pay-per-view event before making the trip, even if Dave & Buster's staff confirms it over the phone.

My wife got the chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries, which she loved. I had the Fish and Chips dinner which was great. Our son enjoyed the Chicken Fingers and fries. His wife had a large salad which she said was tasty. And our grandson had the 5 cheese flatbread and fries which he devoured. Service was quick and attentive. After dinner, we played a lot of games for close to two hours. Lots of fun! The only negative comment I have is that the noise level was very high. They could probably turn down the music and games a few hundred decibels! Other than that, a great time was had by all.

Drinks were very weak. I ordered a large margarita because I was planning on only one drink, but it was overly sweet and I didn't taste any tequila.

I ordered flautas which were supposed to be served with tomato and avocado and sides of rice and beans along with sour cream, cheese, and lettuce.

These venues include church halls, basements of people's homes, lobbies of Arlington condos, a Falls Church bike store, and other community recreational space. Audiences are offered an unmatched experience of getting up close with top talent artists drawn from the nation's premier musical centers (Nashville, New York City, Austin, Athens, etc.). Artists perform acoustic style sets (bigger sets with multiple band players are also offered) to audiences who seek genuine music beyond the teflon machine-generated radio pop, and love to support independent musicians. These artists are tall on talent yet short on big name music industry commercial fame. Offering exquisite, heart-felt music and passion, their performances make for stirring musical soirees. Many of the acts are from the folk/bluegrass field, who have jazz and pop influences, extending sometimes to motown and gospel. Audiences can buy tickets online, via the Web site (stoneroomconcerts.com) but can also walk in to the venue on the performance night and are encouraged to donate to the artist. The host of the venue typically provides snacks and drinks for attendees. This non-profit is run with a lot of heart by David H. who does an impeccable job curating the numerous acts he brings to northern Virginia throughout the year. I highly encourage all music afficionados to attend one of these "house concerts" for the true feeling of shared musical spirit just as it has always been in history, through pure voice and unfiltered performance in a small gathering.

Additionally, Stone Room Concerts includes as part of its mission support for charitable causes, including acting as a fiscal sponsor for the Niñas Arriba! college scholarship fund for young women in El Salvador.
