There is a spicy relish and vegetables covered in a vinegar sauce on the sandwiches that is not mentioned what so ever. I paid for a sandwich I could not eat. I then tried to ordered a quesadilla and was informed that all of the quesadillas have jalapeños in the cheese that ALSO is not mentioned on the menu. So, desperate for anything I could eat, I ordered yet another entree and waited 30 minutes just to get something other than I ordered. After that the server tried to convince me that the thing they brought me with an ingredient I detest was indeed what I ordered. Trivia was great. My dining partner really enjoyed several different cold beers. But dining was a fail. Then to top all that off someone I had not even spoken to at the restaurant came over and yelled at me for this review. Not "I'm sorry you had a less than optimal experience at my establishment" but "how dare you leave me a two star review after I LET you have a table". Again I wanted to like this place. It's cute, the drinks are creative, the beers are good tasting and cold. But I NEED to eat as well as drink. Between the inadequate descriptions on the menu and the nasty treatment by the owner who seemed to think we should have been grateful for a table I cannot recommend spending time here.

I guess it's pretty new as they are starting to offer brunch! Service: The owner helped me to find two seats at the bar since it was packed for trivia night. Bartender Mario was great and kept us taken care of. Ambiance: Mostly all tall tables for seating and it was packed the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and for trivia.

My group had such an awesome time--the space felt perfect and private, and everyone kept commenting on how lovely everything was.

The food was fantastic as well--we especially loved the flatbread, wings, and tater tots. Everything was delicious!

It doesn't matter how good the food or beer might be, ripping off customers is just bad business. That said. Nashville chicken sandwich good. They just don't take cash at all.

Love that they have some fun drinks beside beer during the holiday time (though you can get them spiked) Husband enjoyed his beers and I loved that they have popcorn available as a snack.

Space inside was cute too, very farm chic and high top tables along with regular. Our beertender, Derrick was awesome, he was full of personality and explained all the beers to us. I went with the black IPA the first round then switched to their ciders for the second round. Being a hockey fan I loved that they had Caps themed beers and were even selling Tom Wilson glasses. You can bring food in or order from one of the places next door. If you're looking for more snack stuff they have snacks for sale. I would love to visit here again while in the area!

They have so many enjoyable beers it's hard to choose so I usually try a flight to try several of them. Be sure and try their Scoville Sting or any other variants of their jalapeño beer for a spicy taste you don't get most places. This place can get crowded but they do have a a good number of tables so I've always been able to get a seat and there are also seats at the bar. Service is always really friendly too. This isn't really a sports bar type place so they have a TV with a game on but it might not be your favored team. As if all that wasn't enough, you can get awesome El Tio Tex-Mex food at a stand in the back. Their chips and guacamole or queso or some nachos or tacos go perfectly with some beer. This is the best brewery in the area and I'll come back again.

They had menus for a Mexican place that delivered, service was quick with that and food was tasty, servings big. I ordered an IPA but really didn't want to ask any questions with the guy who told us the place was open.

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.

I hope they consider it for the next event. It is a great atmosphere. They have outdoor seating with activities. They also have live music if you like to sing or dance. The establishment is huge. It reminds me of a warehouse or Barndominium. I belive there is an upstairs providing a loft style vibe. The service is more food drop off, not a lot of interaction with the staff. They also have QR codes to provide self services. The drinks were great. They offer beer flights if you are into beer and they also have cocktails. Overall, it is a family friendly place. They have good food and you will be entertained
