Free lemon water
Rodney W.

Visited the branch with 19 people from my wife's extended family. Upon arrival, there were five bowling lanes available and we rented three of them. We got fitted for shoes and balls. We mostly shared bowling balls, but it was okay because they actually fit my hand quite well. I played well on this day too. My son said the free lemon water tasted bad. But the water they served us in pitchers was filtered and iced - very good. I requested a pitcher of sangria from the bar, which was not on the menu. But the bartender made it, nonetheless. He also served us a pitcher of beer. The bowling memes were great. You can take up to three pictures of yourself - one smiling, one goofy, and one serious. Throughought your bowling games, the pictures are used in funny ways to show who did well and who didn't. I enjoyed that. There weren't that many bowling lanes, but the ones they did have worked perfectly and were in good condition. We had a great time bowling here.

Kid's Grilled Cheese
Kevin L.

We stopped by thinking we were going to bowl with the family but instead we had a meal and hung out in their mini arcade. The atmosphere is great here. The bowling alley looks new and really clean. The bistro on the side had a decent looking menu. We ordered the grilled cheese and chicken tenders for the kids. I got the break burrito and my wife got the blackened shrimp wrap. Everything was great besides the burrito. It was lacking a bit of flavor. Everything else, didn't have any complaints. The service was great. My son dropped a piece of chicken tender and they made a new order for him. Server was attentive and was great. The arcade is great for kids. They have a few racing games, basketball, skeeball, grabbing machines, air hockey, and jurassic park. We'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu and get some bowling action. I recommend you check them out!

The bowling alley was clean as well as the shoes. We were able to get on a lane right away even on a Saturday at 5p. The server we had was quick & nice. The food was mediocre but definitely not bad, just not the best wings I've had. However, the fries were bomb.

a scoreboard with a lot of numbers on it
Mike G.

This review is just for their Monday nights which are a 5/5 in terms of value. $10 all-you-can-bowl (includes shoe rental), $10 pitchers of domestic beer, and $10 burgers. A great place for an affordable family night. They also have a small arcade. Pro tip: If you want to avoid a wait for lanes, get there around 4:45pm. They open at 5:00. There are usually a few other groups waiting to get in.

The dirty approach which made sliding impossible
Jennifer T.

We've now been to The Branch twice this summer thanks to their participation in the "Kids Bowl Free" program. We would have come eventually anyway, but this just hastened the visit. I am giving the 4 stars based mostly on the first visit. Because the second visit was not so great. I'm sure it was just a glitch in overall operations, but still some things to be aware of. We got a lane for our family of four right away when we arrived around 11:00 on a Tuesday. The ambience is great. I like the little added touch of having all the Loudoun County towns across the top of the lanes. It's nice to have an affordable place to bring the family bowling in the area. The score keeping system is cute and engaging and keeps kids entertained. The alley itself is a little cramped... there is very little space on each lane to actually move/walk past someone. So if you have a party of six (which is the most the will put on a lane) prepare to be VERY cramped. But I get it... they need to maximize on space. The food is decent. We haven't tried just the restaurant but we have ordered food to eat while bowling. Pretty standard. Nothing spectacular but also decent food for a bowling alley. I would definitely recommend this place but maybe at a time when it isn't super busy? Which brings me to our second visit. I guess they were having issues with their cooling system because it was a SAUNA in there. Made all the worse by a lot of people. At 3:00 on a Friday we were told we'd have to sit about 20 minutes for a lane. No big deal. They were busy, I get it. But when there is a wait they need to make sure they are actively policing the lanes. We watched a family of four camped out across TWO lanes... only one of which had they actually been bowling on... sit at their lane for a full 30 minutes after they were done bowling. They even had food delivered there and sat and ate it. If they are going to charge by the game, then people should not be allowed to take up the space after they are done bowling. Nothing was one until my husband went up and asked about it. Also, they do offer leagues here. Based on the condition of the approach on th I would be angry. It was filthy. Which makes sliding impossible. The first time I tried (taking for granted that I would be able to) I almost face planted on the lane. Maybe it was because of the crazy temps inside the building. But that's not great. Hopefully they clean up before leagues. So, overall we'll come back. But if it looks (or feels) like it did on our second visit, I will turn around and walk right back out the door. We probably would have on that day as well, but because we had the kids bowl free coupons, we weren't paying for our games.

Menu for our murder mystery dinner
Jackie S.

Attended their first murder mystery dinner on Thursday evening. It was awesome. The concept was cool, the menu delicious and the stage coach company that provided the talent was a lot of fun. It was a pre fixed 4 course dinner experience with cocktail pairings. Staff was friendly, helpful and provided good customer service. Highly recommend but tickets sell out quick, so don't delay if you see it advertise.

Caroline K.

So awesome! Such a great spot. Fills up very quickly so be sure to show up at or before 5pm. The food is amazing! We got flatbreads and appetizers and loved it all. The whole vibe of the place is a really great time. Will definitely keep coming back

a bowling alley with bowling lanes
Ang K.

Such a fun impromptu bowling date. I think it was around $50/hr around 3pm on a Saturday. Got a pitcher of beer and played almost two games with 4 people. They let us play a little longer to try and finish our second game. It started getting super packed around 4pm. They also have an archade area and dining. 16 lanes and the areas for seating are high top long tables, which is different than your chain bowling alleys. Nice, attentive staff. Support your local bowling alley!

Onion rings
Kristie T.

We went to have dinner and bowling on a Monday night for their $10 special however it was a night before a new school day so it was unusually packed. Needless to say we sat at the bar and had a really terrific burger and nice cold picture of beer. The bartender/ manager couldn't have been nicer and pleasure to chat with! We will try to come back another time for Bowling but the $10 burgers are definitely worth it even if you don't get a chance to bowl!

Overpriced. The food is deplorable. Not a chill vibe. Suited for alcoholics and party goers

There is no separate way to review for sidebar coffee, so this is for sidebar COFFEE!…read more The little hole in the wall has earned my trust in downtown leesburg. I was just looking for some good coffee one morning when I saw a little hole in the wall and realized it's a little coffee shop! I've gotten an iced coffee there, and a matcha the next two times. Both are great. The baristas are all really nice and will very likely be able to make you something if you wanna tweak an item on the menu a bit. And, most importantly, their matcha is the real deal. It's not the bitter and awful cheap stuff that most cafes will sell to you for the same price. This is the good stuff, and you can tell they make any syrup they add to it in house. It's so refreshing. If you love coffee, and especially matcha, this place is it!

Literally the worst service we have ever had…read more We had family in town and had never been here before. We were seated in the closed off dining area, to the right of the hostess desk. It took 10 mins for anyone to come see us. I had to get up to ask for someone to get our orders. To boot, the person who was supposed to assist us, was in the back hall by the restrooms texting and hanging out. I assume no one told her that we were there. The cider I ordered was warm, so I had to ask for a cup of ice at the bar. My husband's burger was meant to be medium well and it was raw. Lastly, it's extremely loud in that room. The chairs are metal, and when drug against the flooring, they make an awful sound! They really need a form of rubber on the legs. Very hard for grandma, who has hearing aids. Poor thing was so uncomfortable. The room next to us, with a door leading to the window to the kitchen, was so incredibly annoying. They were pounding the entire time we were seated, and it was LOUD! We all just sat completely silent. This was an incredibly disappointing visit and we will not come back.

When they arrived they seemed oddly small for what you would expect, more so trimmings than "Steak Tips." For dinner I was between a couple of items, but I rushed myself to order the Steak and Cheese. When it arrived it appeared that I received the previously mentioned "steak tips" sandwiched between bread, with some condiments and cheese. Maybe I should have read the description a bit more carefully or maybe I expected something more typical of a Steak and Cheese. I did want to order the steak tacos after both, just to see if they were the same. Someone please let me know. I understand that restaurants will utilize ingredients across multiple dishes but this just seemed ridiculous.
