    This is a relatively new restaurant. The ambiance is amazing! We started with Brussel sprouts as an appetizer. I highly recommend these. I ordered the oyster poor boy. It had lots of oysters, and Homemade chips. Their draft beer was cold and perfect. Note: it's on the 2nd floor. Great service as well.

    The place wasn't busy when I stopped in, maybe 15 people seated. The bartender was kind and the food was great! The only problems I experienced were clearly avoidable: 1) A customer accidentally threw something - I believe his clear retainer or mouthpiece - and the bartender started digging through the trash to find it. He objected, clearly he didn't want her unraveling wadded up napkins, and she stopped. After she pushed the trash can back against the wall, she immediately grabbed the food from the kitchen and took it to the table. Unacceptable and unsanitary. 2) The other server was done cleaning tables and threw the towel to the far side of the bar which was directly in front of me. My luck: she didn't hit the bucket and it landed about 8 inches short. Going back to the food, the Reuben was perfect! Highly recommend that dish, just keep an eye on your server and maybe sit at a table, not the bar.

    I didn't know this was here till we got to the Museum. 1st of all it's convenient- right on the second floor. Secondly it good. Limited seating so a spot during lunchtime could be hard to come by. Rave reviews from the folks I was with for the burger and cheesesteak. Pricing was reasonable. More so when you don't have to drive 10min for food off the museum. Hard working and polite staff. I recommend the stop

    EEEEERRRRAAAHHHHHH!!!!

    This place was a pretty cool spot to grab a bit with some fellow Devil Dogs. I had a Ruben Sandwich and fries, it was tasty. The server was very polite but I think they forgot about two orders from our group. Their food came out at the end of my meal.

    Good to go for a drink and/or meal. They have a good menu and plenty of drinks. The staff is very friendly. Tun's is kinda small and gets overwhelmed with food orders pretty quickly. The staff does their best to keep up and keep things moving, but of course a lot of people are going to hit this place up. Still, they do a good job.

    A spot with a lot of history (or modeled off history), Tun is a great option if you want some grub before or after visiting the National Museum of the Marine Corps. My parents and I got seated fairly easily on a Friday right around 1pm. The place was definitely full, but we got a seat after just a few minutes of waiting. They have a short but solid drink list. I got a Devils Backbone to be all local n' stuff. I also got the Reuben, which was the most compact, non-greasy Reuben I've ever gotten. It hit the spot! The side of Old Bay chips was also a nice touch. All food was served in a metal plate or bowl. Our silverware was a little dirty but very quickly replaced by our waitress, who was very apologetic. Solid choice - especially as far as museum restaurants go.

    Our car club at the museum.  Don't let the building fool you, there's a GREAT museum and a GREAT restaurant inside.

    A terrific experience in the National Museum of the Marine Corps. Just as the museum sets a new standard for what a modern museum should be, the Tun Tavern sets a standard for what a restaurant inside an attraction should be. The food was very good and reasonably priced, and the service was outstanding. Highly recommended

    Had dessert and a couple of beverages after our visit to the museum on the first floor. Service was also excellent.

    Great beer!!

    Southern Spin Kitchen - Fried chicken and waffle sliders

    Southern Spin Kitchen

    (7 reviews)

    As I was driving through Dumfries, I heard of a new place called Southern Spin Kitchen. From…read moreRichmond Hwy, made a right onto Colonial St as the gps guided me but where the location is pinned, it doesn't exist. So I continue on Colonial St, see a big parking garage that reads Rose Gaming Resort, went up the ramp and parked. I went into the elevator, took a guess and push down to the 1st floor. Well there it was .. the food court with multiple restaurants inside the resort in which didn't stated beforehand. In the lobby, there's 6 establishments on the 1st floor such as Crab Tastic, R' Burger, Mama Mia's Italian Kitchen, Southern Spin Kitchen, The Bar and Corner Store. But you have to check the listings as they do not open on the same days and hours. During Mondays-Wednesdays, you have to place your order at the Corner Store for Southern Spin Kitchen and R' Burger. There were 3 items: 1) Chicken and Waffle Sliders 2) Fried Chicken 3) Peach Cobbler. The sliders were unique, waffles were fluffy and chicken were crispy. You get 3 portions served with crispy fries and slaw but never received the slaw but everything was delicious. The fried chicken platter is served with two sides of choice (collard greens and mac n' cheese). Be careful with the first bite as the fried chicken is piping hot. The two sides are were delicious but the collard greens were too sweet for me. The peach cobbler was supposed to be à la mode in which the kitchen staff of SSK informed they ran out of ice cream. As I return to the cashier named Tasia F, I informed her of what SSK staff told me about the ice cream. With the assistance of another cashier named Allie, I was informed that cashier Tasia F went searching through other kitchens within the resort to see if ice cream was in stock. Unfortunately there wasn't any ice cream available which was okay. I wasn't expecting anything because I understand if supplies were short. But I had excellent service with these two cashiers who were friendly, genuine, knowledgeable and beyond customer service. I would make future visit to try other items on their menu as well as other establishments

    This restaurant is in the casino so there's AMPLE parking. It was pretty empty for a Sunday evening…read morewhich was surprising. We had to place our order at another counter (minimal staffing at all restaurants in the food court). The rotisserie chicken was pretty good, collard greens and baked beans are prepared with pork (fyi). Substitutions for chicken pieces are not allowed. My husband had the smothered pork chops which he really enjoyed. His only complaint was there wasn't as much gravy as he would've liked on the pork chop but instead was covered in a lot of mushrooms. We would definitely visit again!

    Not bad, but not great either…read more The restaurant's ambience is truly modern and inviting. As someone who resides in Dumfries, this is a very welcome addition to upscale dining, and I was greatly surprised by the decor. I've visited many casinos locally and around the country, including Vegas, Atlantic City, Biloxi, Mississippi, and New Orleans, and I must say this restaurant's decor is on par with many of the other fine-dining restaurants. When I arrived at the restaurant, it was not busy at all. In fact, there were only a few people at the bar and another couple who came in at the same time as us in the dining area. While someone would look at this and be very skeptical, I took it as number one. I was coming on a Sunday night around 5:30. Number two, it may be early for dinner, and number three. I could assure you that my food would come out hot. My server was excellent. The service was terrific, which I had heard was the most mixed part of the experience previously, due to staff turnover and inconsistent service levels for a fine-dining establishment. Akeara was fantastic, I mean, truly remarkable, and coupled with the excellent management and leadership of Veronica Keller, they made the dynamic duo who saved my dining experience. Akeara was very well-versed in the menu and sensitive to dietary restrictions when asked about many of the ways ingredients were prepared. She was invaluable and well-versed in preparation methods, as well as in drink pairings and menu options, to ensure we had a great culinary experience. The food I really enjoyed the calamari. It was fried perfectly. The two dipping sauces were fantastic. The rose salad is absolutely a star on the appetizer menu. I was a little skeptical about the crabcake because the way she described it sounded more like a fried crabcake than a pan-seared one. I think had she mentioned pan-seared, I would have likely gone with a crab cake, but I am certainly not disappointed in the calamari, and again, the salad was phenomenal. The steaks were a different story. I think they marinate the steaks, although I got different answers from the server and the manager when I asked; however, the steaks were a great cut. I saw someone get the bone in Tomahawk, which is presented nicely, hanging from a hook, with the Chef coming out to torch butter over the steak and vegetables beneath. I got the New York strip. It was a very, very lovely piece of meat. The New York strip was severely underseasoned. In fact, I had to ask for steak sauce, which is a cardinal sin of any steak restaurant. I think had they used a little more salt, pepper, and garlic to finish the steak It would've been perfect. The cook was absolutely perfect, medium rare. The seasoning was just off. I also got the risotto and short ribs. The short rib was well seasoned, though so much gravy from the short rib almost covered the entire plate of mushroom risotto. Tasty but just a little disproportionate in presentation. The bread basket was terrific, and the honey butter was nice, though the bread had a slight cheese flavor. It was still a really good combo. The baked potato is by far one of the best values on the menu as a side item. It was large. It was hot and fully loaded. The creamed spinach was a little more cream-cheese-forward, and it seemed like the spinach needed a little something else and seasoning, so it wasn't as bland. The desserts were another story: the toffee cake I thought would look like something I would get at Hell's Kitchen looked more like a very crumbly cornbread with ice cream on top. The vanilla ice cream tasted great, but the cake was just OK. The crème brûlée was on another level. It was fantastic, creamy, full of vanilla, and had a great crunch from the Brulé sugar on top. What really made this meal so good was the service. I talked with my server about my dissatisfaction with the two lobster tails: I did not appreciate being told they were pulled from the lobster shell, and they were served cold and rubbery. The server immediately jumped into action, spoke with the manager, and had the lobster removed from the bill. Thank you so much. But what really impressed me was the time that both the manager and my server spent at the table. Veronica was truly a pleasure to meet. As a military officer who has commanded hundreds and been responsible for thousands, she really hit it out of the park with her ability to problem-solve and immediately address issues as they arose. She was very engaging and really a pleasure to be with. This dynamic duo, who've only worked at this location for less than 5 months combined, really made me say I will come back to the restaurant, assuming they may have had an off night with seasoning and timing in the kitchen. If there's anything to take away, the food is OK (3 stars), the service from this dynamic duo was fantastic, and that's why they got the four stars.

Never had an empty water glass. Service was friendly but really slow and inconsistent. The server was attentive and accurate sharing how food could be ordered to accommodate food allergy. But I always felt like I was waiting. When a place is busy it is understandable when there are extended wait times, but there were only 4 other tables in our room. One table, seated after we ordered, had different specials explained by a different server. Again. Service was friendly but very slow. Food was not special. The short ribs were exceptionally salty. Risotto was creamy but lacked flavor. The special was Chesapeake Chicken, gluten free and ithoir any adjustments. That was great! But the dish was covered in sauce, overpowering the dish. Dessert included crème brûlée which was also GF and nice but just standard. Good wine menu with reasonable price per glass and standard but not noteworthy cocktail options. I'd prefer to give 4 stars but the price of dishes wasn't what you'd expect for the taste, but staff were friendly and we were fed without having an allergic reaction. On the way home we passed several options that had similar menus that had more flavor and more reliable service. I can now say I checked it Rose's Casino. As a midwestern gal with plenty of Iowa casino experience, this is nothing to write home about. Maybe next year.

First the positives: I ordered the Gyro with fries and really enjoyed it. Not the best Gyro I have ever had, but good. The other three members of my family ordered different chicken dishes and all three were bad. Overall they were very bland. Using a little seasoning during cooking goes a long way. The chicken on the dishes seemed boiled. I guess this is an easy way to get tender chicken, but man does it remove the flavor! My wife's chicken had tendon and grizzle through out. My daughter's Marsala was gross. Seemed to be a Jared gravy. The wait staff really should not be wearing jeans, especially since the dining room seems nice (except for the paper table cloths.). One of the waitresses had ugly tattoos which no one wants to see at a nice place like this. It's a shame. This place has potential, but the food and wait staff drag it down HARD.
