a basket of fried tater tots and a bowl of ketchup

The service is EVERYTHING. Saad is Amazing!! My server Cody was just as complimentary to that, as well. The mozzarella sticks are the best I've had since pepperoni stick back in the day!! I'm making this my new happy place! I highly suggest this gem of a place. Oh and THE BEST music played is here!!

Drink specials weren't listed and the bartender didn't know them, but here are some daily food specials.

I don't play pool, I rarely play darts but I have a soft spot for this place. I enjoy drinking cheap beers, playing Golden Tee and sidling up to the bar for NTN trivia. The Fast Eddies sign still remains but it is now called Revolution. Its the same spot. Its dark, its dingy, there is a terrible smell coming from different parts of the bar and that's a different smell from the years of being a smoker's den. This is a dive bar. Expect a dive bar atmosphere and a dive bar crowd. Now double that. I asked the bartender what the happy hour specials were and he said, "Draft Beer and Bottle Beer"...then there was an awkward silence as I waited for him to tell me the specials...then just ordered a bud light because I knew it would be under $3. They have theme nights, nightly specials, happy hour til 9, stuff all bars should have but don't anymore. While things have changed everywhere, this place is mostly the way bars were 15-20 years ago. Maybe its that nostalgia of that smoke, bud light and bar games that keeps me coming here. If you like pool, darts, pinball, golden tee, naked photo hunt, trivia and beer you can have a good time here.

A few of their 18 well lit well spaced dartboards.

Revolution replaced Fast Eddies and so much better! It's in the same place, located next to a bowling alley. That means there's always plenty of parking. Once inside you see two huge spaces, front and back. Both are well lit, airy, and clean. This is helped along by Revolution's no smoking policy. While I was there I had a pint of Guinness (for $6) and their Revolution Fries "appetizer" for $10. However, it wasn't so much an appetizer as a meal. It came on a large plate heaped with healthy* portions of seasoned potato wedges, well-cooked flavorful shredded pork, and melted cheese (like substance). That was topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of green onion (no doubt for roughage which is very important). It was filling and delicious. *By "healthy" I mean generous as opposed to anything that would make your doctor happy. There are plenty of places that offer great food and beverages at reasonable prices. What sets Revolution apart are its recreation options. There are video games, well-maintained pool tables, and for me the most important thing, dart boards. But not your normal supply of dart boards. There were lots of dart boards. Bristle boards covered three walls. I stopped counting them at 18. There might have been hundreds or more or 18 and that's why I stopped counting. They were all well lit, widely spaced, and not crowded by tables. If you are looking for a fun place to go then this is it. If you are looking to go to a dart bar then this is the dart bar to go to.

One of the better bars I've been too. Great atmosphere, lots of pool tables, and lots of beer. It's one of my go to bars in fairfax

Food and service is usually hit or miss. It's a convenient location to my work though so I'll probably keep going.

Pool, darts (16 bristle boards and a couple of plastic!), trivia night, bar pong, or a DJ in the front room (kind of overly loud, but not always there...) etc.

Much better experience today for an early dinner. We sat for about 5 mins (uh oh) before our server…read morecame over. He did bring 2 waters with ice when taking our order. My son wanted beef medallions (sold out) so opted for 9 oz sirloin, salad, baked potato & bread. I felt like getting the full rack of ribs ( Glory and bbq sauce on side) slaw, mac n cheese & corn bread. The salad came out first. Cold, crisp and fresh. Yummy. The sirloin came out medium rare. It was soft, a little chew but tender with a very beefy flavor. The steak was seasoned perfectly. The baked potato was good. A crust of salt on outside skin and soft inside. Not an Idaho fluffy potato but still good. The ribs came out as half (I ordered a full rack). They were naked but char grilled. I wanted both glory & bbq sauce on side to dip the meat. Dry but tender and flavorful. I love that char grilled flavor. Bbq sauce nothing special but glory sauce had that NC vinegar tang plus sweetness to cut through the heavy pork meat. Mac n cheese & slaw were good. Nothing special. Corn bread was average. The warm/hot buns/bread was awesome. Unfortunatey, we had to ask for them except on the menu, it said buns came with steak dinner??? A few hickups today but overall, well done Glory Days. I will give you this much, you are consistently inconsistent.

I like how Glory Days uses bigger buns so the burger fits on it. We get our fries without seasoning and they were perfect and hot. The side of crispy thin onion straws were so tasty I couldn't stop eating them! Yasminth is an awesome server. She greeted us with the biggest, brightest smile and checked on us regularly. Everything was clean with TVs everywhere to see sports and news at every angle. We chose the Merrifield location as the one near our home isn't up to par. So glad we came here - it was a great experience! This is our new location going forward! Thank you!

The service was great and our server was amazing, she checked on us frequently and even took our group picture since it was a group of 4. I ordered the brick chicken and cider mule and both were a 10/10! I absolutely love mashed potatoes and the broccolini was flavorful. The chicken portion was a good size and overall really enjoyed the dish. Likewise, I loved the mix between apple cider and a Moscow mule! This was so delicious and I also ended up getting a dirty Shirley Temple which was also really good and my first time having one. Overall, definitely check this place out and I'll be coming back in the future!

My friends got the brick chicken with mashed potato's and it was delicious from what she said! Another friend got the blacked chicken Cesar salad that looked really good and my other friend got fish tacos he said they were pretty standard, but could have used a sauce to add some kick. The location itself is ample and has two bars I think. A lot of TV screens with multiple sports so it was bumpin in there! I would give this place another chance and saw another table order dessert that looked promising!

The first thing that coughed my attention was the interior decoration. The floor was painted like the sea, It had fishing nets hanging on the wall. It gave you a vibe like you were at the sea. The food was amazing. The seviche was my favorite dish, and it was nicely decorated with a plate on top of a boat. However, the arroz con mariscos is not a bad choice. Saturday night, they have live music. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

The advertised drink specials were also incorrect, and we had to show it to them before they eventually honored it. The drinks were terrible. No sugar or flavor in them and it was like drinking stale water but it was supposed to be a pineapple margarita. This is the first time I ever had a bad margarita. The food was overpriced for the little portions we got. We felt hungry still after spending over $100 there and felt as if we got ripped off. There were extra mysterious charges that we had to ask them about and have them correct. Besides one other group of 4 people, we were the only other group there and yet the service was slow. My friends speak Spanish fluently so there was no issue with communication. The sound system is good, bathroom was clean and the staff were otherwise nice but we will not return.
