    Buffalo Wings
    Sean R.

    I'll be honest, I previously didn't even know Spider Kelly's served food. And I was pleasantly surprised to find they had exactly what I was craving this Sunday morning, a plate full of wings. Reasonably priced with a great happy hour deal, the plate came loaded with flavor. The wings were not really spicy so if you're looking for heat you might need to ask for more. A great companion of eats while watching the Browns upset the Ravens.

    Chicken wings were decent, but I can't complain much. You can't really mess up wings.

    The prices for Sundays are EXCELLENT!!! You can't beat that honestly. I will go back and check them out. Our waiter was good until the switch. It was busy because it was football Sunday. However, being greeted when walking in, clean restrooms, decent service and the nachos. I'll go back again!!!

    Classic spot to hang out and grab drinks with friends. It's extremely busy on weekends as its large space and DJ will attract a rowdy crowd. But if you come during the week, you can comfortably find a spot at the bar and maybe even play some games like darts or pool. I think on Thursday's there is trivia?? I might have the date wrong, but I've been a few times and one of the days there was for sure trivia. If you come on Monday there is half off burgers, and i was very satisfied with the burger I got. Very juicy, very flavorful and there are plenty of toppings you can choose from. That paired with a full bar and large selection of taps, It's really hard not to have a good time... better enjoyed with friends

    Came here for a private work event this past Thursday and I was impressed by the attentiveness of the staff (who quickly picked up any empty plates or cups) along with the many games that were available for us to play. Apparently there is an outdoor rooftop area which I should have gone up to check out. There was a lot of catered food set up for all of us to eat, which were hot and fresh. My personal favorites? Pretzel (glistening and very bread-y, yum) and queso, Ceasar salad (good dressing), and THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. I wasn't super impressed with the breaded chicken or sliders, but they provided a nice "main course" for dinner. Overall, the food here is your standard bar food! My only problem is that it's a bit grungy in here, lol. It felt like things were a bit sticky. Fun time with co-workers. I would be glad to come back for another work happy hour! Sadly, I was only at the HH for an hour - otherwise, this would be a much longer review.

    Kelly's Mojito and Kentucky Fizz

    Great spot for happy hour and games! The $6 apps and 1/2 off cocktails on Fridays from 4-7pm is a great deal. There are different deals every day of the week including the weekends! My hubby and I enjoyed the crispy fried balls of goey mac and cheese and ginormous pillowy soft pretzels with warm queso. Both apps were great! It's a bummer that the skillet mac and cheese isn't on happy hour with a smaller portion size. The lukewarm mac was swimming in dense clumpy cheese and lacked the creaminess that I was looking for. It's not worth paying the extra $3 off happy hour menu. I prefer the fried mac and cheese over the skillet - it's a better deal and wrapped up the mac and cheese to go. Of the cocktails on happy hour, the winter Ovi in Jamaica was my favorite. It tastes like a White Russian with rum, cream, and Kahlua. I prefer Kelly's Mojito with pomegranate liquor over the sugary Kentucky Fizz with Peach Snapps. Both cocktails were a sugar overload and only drank a few sips of them. Would come back to check out the Skeeball and basketball hoops with fried mac and cheese balls and pretzels!

    Went out to Spider Kelly's last night and had a lot of fun. The mac n cheese bites were amazing! I also had a bite of my friend's chicken sandwich and that was tasty too. The ranch they had with it was addicting. I kept on eating it with the mac n cheese. I honestly enjoyed the food more than the Orange Crush drink I had with Red Bull. We sat outside. I loved the aesthetic out there with the green shrubs surrounding the patio area. Lots of comfortable chairs and places to sit, and they had the Capitals playing. Bar area wasn't too crowded which was nice. Definitely a bar with a younger crowd. The inside was huge with a lot of fun games. We didn't play any, but I want to come back sometime and try it out. If you're in Clarendon going out, come here to play some games and order the mac n cheese bites!

Calamari is good (not just squid but also fried vegetables). The restaurant is super dog friendly. There is even a dog sitting tall at the bar.

We love coming here in summer.

Unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. Our server seemed uninterested and disengaged throughout the meal. Communication was difficult, and when I asked for a virgin mojito, she wasn't even sure whether the bar could make one and had to check. The food arrived quickly, so speed wasn't an issue. However, the presentation and value were disappointing. I ordered the rockfish, which was about $36. The portion was quite small, with a large amount of pesto underneath and no carbohydrate or side option included. The fish itself was decent, but not memorable enough to justify the price. The atmosphere is lively, especially on a Friday evening. Even outside seating can be quite noisy due to the crowds and conversations around you. If you're looking for a place to have drinks, meet friends, or take a date for cocktails, Salt Line may be a good choice. As a seafood restaurant, however, I think there are many better options in Arlington and Northern Virginia. Based on my experience, I would rate the service 2 out of 5 stars and the food around 3 to 3.5 out of 5 stars. Would I return? Probably not. There are simply better seafood restaurants in the area that offer stronger food, better value, and more attentive service.

I ordered the steak (sliced steak with mushrooms) , and it was excellent ....well-seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. The mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious. We also got the crab and corn chowder, which is always outstanding. Rich, comforting, and packed with flavor every time. Key lime pie .... on point .... oh and a salad. i got the chopped salad and added the ever so good goats cheese. Everything was EXCELLENT. What I appreciate most about Carlisle is the consistency. Whether I'm dining in or picking up takeout, the food is always good. Not just okay BUT actually flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying. That's harder to find than it should be these days. I've been here many MANY times over the years and the experience is consistently excellent. The service is great when dining in, pickup is always smooth and efficient, and the food never disappoints. Carlyle continues to be one of those reliable places that simply gets it right. And whenever I pick up my to go order the bar is always crowded with folks looking like they are having a great time. That should tell you something. Highly recommended.

The manager finally came and apologized offering me some French fries and to bag my dinner as it still needed to be made while everyone else was finished... very disappointed! We had made a Resy reservation and we had to wait like everyone else who was arriving.

When we made the reservation in advance, we called to ask if happy hour was everywhere or just at the bar; they said everywhere, so we booked a table. Plot twist, it's only at the bar / downstairs :))) We arrived 15 minutes early, so while they got our table ready, we ordered at the bar. 5 stars for the bartender. If I could review her, the host, and the happy hour prices in isolation, I would! They moved us upstairs, we sat down, and immediately saw the menus were different. We asked the gentleman bringing waters about happy hour and he sent the waiter over. The waiter, with about 2% helpfulness, shared that happy hour is only downstairs. I mentioned that we had called in advance to ask. We asked if it would be possible to have that menu or perhaps move. The conversation felt like pulling teeth. He said, with much dismissiveness, it was up to the host downstairs to move and if they had availability and left. (Fair, we move, he doesn't get his tip. An alternative? Give us the happy hour menu, still get your tip. Better yet, just be slightly helpful?) The host downstairs found us a table but shared it was booked at 6:15 so we needed to be in and out. It was no problem because we had arrived before 5 (early, remember?). Although, it took 15 minutes (I timed it!) for anyone to come bring waters or address us as their table. A little hard to operate with urgency when no one takes your order!! I got up, told the host stand, and they sent a server over, and he proceeded to come back all of three times. We also had to flag him down to get our check, while we sat with empty waters that were never once refilled. We had pizza, cod sliders, and half orders of aglio e olio pasta. The cod sliders were more breadding than fish, but the flavor was decent. The pasta was delicious. No five star Italian meal, but it hit the spot and the portion was plentiful. I didn't try the pizza but it was 12 inches, piping hot, and the two eating it couldn't finish it. The food came out quickly and hot. I think we spent under or just about $100 for four folks to have dinner + drinks, so the prices are really solid. Perhaps you get what you pay for though? Both of our male servers seemed annoyed to be dealing with us and mostly unhelpful. Noteworthy mention: there was a female server who was kind enough to bring us a brown paper bag for our to go box. She was running around and her tables seemed well cared for. Disappointed in my experience and the customer service.
