    Cheese Burger with a fried egg and fries
    Phyllis H.

    It's been awhile since I've been here. Whenever I want a really good burger, this place is it. So I got the cheese burger and had them add an over easy egg. If they had beef bacon I would ask them to add that too. It's was really good. I also decided to try their peach cobbler. Glad I did too, because it was very good, plenty of crust, just like I prefer it. I usually get it to go but stayed today. I don't know that they have ever changed the decor but it's giving 1960's segregation vibes. Even the waitresses give that vibe as well. They are professional and have never said anything out of the way.

    Sentry Grill is like a place out of time! It's located in the Sentry Drug Store in downtown Alexandria. The grill itself is a sit down affair with attentive waitstaff and customers who generally seem to come there very regularly. The menu is standard grill fare, and the prices are very responsible. It's a breakfast and lunch place, and the breakfast is classic and extremely tasty. My favorite is the Hashbrown Bowl, which has hashbrowns sausage pieces, eggs, gravy, and cheese all layered in a bowl. There are many other breakfast options, including some impressive omelets. Take a moment to visit a unique local eatery that is still doing it the old-school way. Eat like your parent or grandparents would have, and see why they enjoyed these simple establishments with personable staff and basic food that was is very satisfying.

    Cheeseburger

    If you are looking for a good old fashion basic cheeseburger, sentry grill is your place! This diner in a drug store is old school, no frills, no fancy- but good stuff. Fries are extra. Prices are reasonable. Service is quick. Hard to ask for more.

    The diner!

    Best breakfast in Alexandria! Great service, feels like an old school 1930s diner. Ms. Joyce was a sweet ol lady who put a smile on everyone's face that placed an order!

    Ok so a friend I have been talking about visiting places we have never been before and this has been on the list. Expectation: I expected it to look just like it was. An old fashion dinner and it hit the spot. I was calculated in the means that I planned before I went that I wanted a burger and fries. The size of the burger was a little disappointing but the taste fit the expectation. Buttery bun and mayo flavor. Didn't taste much of the bacon and the grilled onions were good. The fries were plentiful and crispy. The service is where the last star is missing on my review. I'm pretty playful and I visit new places and she was pretty bland. After our lunch I quizzed her at the register about it tenure in our little city and she didn't know and she has been there for about 37 years. So overall it was good for me.

    It's a diner inside a drugstore. Think booths and the sound of food sizzling on a flat top grill. The everything omlette has bacon and sausage... And you get it. Great spot for fresh prepared diner food. I wish I saved room for the cobbler.

    Chicken fried steak lunch
    Temo G.

    Stumbled into this place for lunch. Amazing! I had the lunch special chicken fried steak. One of the best I've had. The breading was perfectly crispy. The meat was very flavorful as well. The white gravy was on point. The mash potatoes and brown gravy were also delicious. That brown gravy was something special. It was a small spoonful but so full of flavor!

    Good food. Good service. It's a diner themed restaurant. Breakfast was great. You must try the pancakes.

    Mellow and fun! Great drinks and a nice vibe. Food was great. Seating was comfortable.read more

    This is my go-to spot in Alexandria…read more I am not baller enough to stay at the Hotel Bently but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Actually, that isn't true. I actually stayed at the OG Holiday Inn across the street from the Hotel Bently and found this bar by happenstance. So there I was, at the Holiday Inn for work and the bar was closed. Apparently, the bartender didn't show up for work and although the manager said I could tend the bar for the night, I was not about to start a new job. She recommended the Mirror Bar, located in the basement of the Hotel Bently. After assurances that I wouldn't be murdered walking the block to the bar, I set off. The Mirror Bar reminds me of a classy joint from a bygone era. Yes, there are mirrors. No, it is not some sort of weird place. I mention that because when I told people I went to the mirror bar they looked at me as if I was some sort of perv and I want to set the record straight. Back to the review. This is a nice bar with a nice selection of bourbon. Weeknights are pretty dead but don't let that stop you. In addition to bar seating, there are tables along the wall with comfortable chairs. Comfortable chairs in a dark classy bar? Yes, please. Prices are pretty standard for a hotel bar. Will I be back? of course. If you see me there, say hi and buy me a bourbon.
