Great Service! and wonderful food! make sure to grab the brussel sprouts starter and ask to sit in Kentucky Clay's section!

Great group experience m! Excellent food, fresh, hot, creative and substantially sized servings. The Brussels sprouts and calamari will always be my favorites but give the spinach dip and bacon sticks a try also! Everyone had different Entrees and all were highly Rated! Thank you Virtue Feed and Grain for good food and vibes from visitors from AL! Note to large group: they do not do individual checks. Be prepared to split amongst yourselves! Food is so good... it's worth the hassle! read more

Went in just before the dinner rush and seated ourselves at the bar. Good selection of beers on tap, do try the Kolsch. Our bartender Mauricio is a cool guy. Got the Wagyu burger with birria and duck fries, excellent! Perfect spot by the water, some street parking nearby. Highly recommend!! read more

The first time we went we had clay and our time was terrific. However this time we had Miya and she needs more training as a server. She dropped off waters for the table but never introduced herself and left us alone without stopping by for more than fifteen minutes. I was getting ready to head down to the host stand to ask for a new server but in the nick of time, she rescued herself. We kept Miya, but she needs more training on the details. Our food was delicious. read more

We picked this spot for my birthday dinner last night. I got the Baked Rockfish while my partner got the lamp chops. Both entrees were excellent, and I also got the Stardust cocktail, which had plenty of crushed pomegranate, yummy but strong. To close out our meal, we each had dessert. he had a peanut butter pie with macadamia ice cream while I had the lemon raspberry cake. Overall, I'd give it another go if I were in the area and pinched for options (but I haven't explored Olde Town much so Id probably explore new spots). I felt the prices were fair for the area and the ambience was great too. Service fell short a bit - we didn't get checked on until it was time for dessert, and then dessert took forever to come out, almost making us late for our movie. read more

We are in town to watch some D1 softball and visit DC. Staying in Alexandria South. Our first visit to Old Town brought us here after a bit of a walk. The outside is beautiful and the reason we stopped to see if they had room without a reservation. Seating outside, first floor and second floor. We were seated on the second floor with our own window to the outside. We look the building, architecture, and ambiance/decor. Our server, Val, was very friendly and attentive. We ordered drinks and apps to include, scotch eggs and Brussels. So good and the food came out quick! For the dinner, it was the Southwest Caesar salad with chicken and the chicken carnitas tacos. Both were excellent. Would we come back? Yes most definitely. Item of note, the staff handled a birthday, regular patrons, and tables with a large amount of kids without blinking an eye! read more

So nice we ate there twice! The food was amazing. We got calamari and crab dip for lunch and for dinner we had the beet salad and short rib grilled cheese. Our server for lunch was Antonio and he was so kind and made our experience even better. read more

Virtue is the place to go when you want something with a casual but still upscale vibe. It feels more restaurant-y than pub-y, although you can still grab a pint. I've always been impressed with its menu. This time I ended up getting lamb shanks, but during different visits I've tried everything from cony to burgers. Prices are what you'd expect for Old Town. The wine list is also really good. I was happy to see bottles of local Virginia wine available, and I always support places that lend their support to locals. For my latest visit I had an awesome waiter, who really took care of us (and our birthday girl). read more

TLDR; super beautiful establishment, great service overall, very fresh food. Atmosphere: Went here tonight for a friend birthday dinner. The upstairs features a beautiful light tree (see pictures) in the center that really makes the experience magical. Our server, Coy was extremely nice, attentive and answered all our questions. Food: The chicken piccata was a 7/10, only because i wanted a little bit more flavor to it. Otherwise, it was extremely fresh, a lot of sauce, the chicken was extremely crispy and paired well together with the angel hair. I definitely took my leftovers home. My friend had the lamb chops and said it was a 10/10. They cooked it exactly how he requested it. Drink: I got the mocktail, Winter Fizz. Superrrr refreshing, flavorful and paired well with the meal. I was tempted to get another round ! After my server, Coy, offered us some tea and I definitely got some. It was a perfect ending to the meal. read more

Stopped by for a quick appy with the wife. Had the crab dip and two of the Klosch draft beers. Crab dip was dammed good and would have again. Beer was ok, not great. A little on the bitter side for some reason. We sat at the bar and the service was better than average. read more

I definitely recommend getting reservations if you're going on a weekend or holiday. This place always seems to be at capacity and for good reason. The menu is filled with solid options, and has something for everyone. Service each time that I have visited (3 times now) has been exceptional. There is an additional bar upstairs if you're looking for a bar seating, but it seems to fill up just as quickly as the downstairs bar. Both upstairs and down give you a rustic yet friendly setting that is pleasant at night or during the day. The drink menu offers unique spins on standard cocktails, trust your gut and your servers' recommendations, and you will not leave disappointed. read more

This place has a great atmosphere but the food wasn't our favorite. We each ordered the same strawberry basil cocktail which was amazing. The actually meals we ordered lacked quality and flavoring. We also had some trouble when we got to our table their was another waiter standing directly behind my partners chair chatting and he couldn't sit down for a good 3 mins. When the waiter turned and realized he shrugged and walked away. read more

Had a great experience! I met an old friend for the first time in years and he recommended the spot. It's somewhat near the Alexandria waterfront, so it's a good location. The actual restaurant was also had good ambiance, with a rustic theme and plenty of space for walk-ins. The menu is a little high, but the food was very good. I got the wagyu birria burger and loved it! Flavorful, cooked well, and the duck fat fries are a must. Service was also good, with our waitress stopping in to check on us a few times. I'll definitely return again. read more

Cute restaurant, you can eat outside on the main floor or upstairs. We started out sitting outside. It was a pretty cool night and we ended up going inside to eat. BUT, when we got outside we asked if there were tables closer to the water. We started walking back and the hostess said, sorry this is the closet table, as the waiter at the end had too many tables. Not even 5 minutes later, we saw a couple being taken to the same area we requested :/ I had the short ribSHORT RIBS ...29 red wine braised short ribs, sauteed mushrooms, garlic mashed potatoes, vegetable of the day **YUMMMMY!

Let me start by stating that we only had drinks. So if food is what you are after, check other reviews. We sat at the bar and had a few drinks and thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

I'm new to the area and have been exploring Northern Virginia and DC, and after visiting Virtue Feed & Grain last night, I can honestly say it deserves 10 stars if that were possible! Our server, Clay, was absolutely fantastic. As someone who has worked as a server/bartender for the past 18 years, I can confidently say Clay truly knows his craft. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and gave excellent recommendations on drinks, specialty items, and the overall menu. You can tell he takes pride in his work and genuinely wants every guest to have a great experience. He really made the night even more enjoyable. The drinks were fabulous and came out quickly, and the food was phenomenal. We started with the Lobster Arancini and Brussels sprouts for appetizers, both were delicious! I was honestly sad to hear the arancini was a special because I would order it every time I come back. For our entrées, we had the Lobster Risotto and the Rigatoni alla Vodka, and both were simply amazing. The atmosphere is such a vibe, and the entire staff; from the hostesses to the food runners to the bartenders and servers - was impeccable. Everything about the experience was great. I will absolutely be returning regularly and highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area! read more

Outstanding Experience at Virtue Feeding Grain in Alexandria! We were in Alexandria for a business trip and kept hearing rave reviews about Virtue Feeding Grain, so we had to check it out. From the moment we walked in, the service was wonderful and welcoming -- the team made us feel right at home. The menu looked fantastic, and we went for the most recommended items: the shrimp tacos, fish tacos, and the Beria bacon cheeseburger. I tried all three and was genuinely blown away by how good everything was. The tacos were fresh and flavorful, but my absolute favorite (and what I'll be ordering every time from now on) is the Beria bacon cheeseburger. Hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had. The dipping sauce was unlike anything I've ever tasted -- so bold, rich, and perfectly balanced with the meat. It took the whole thing to another level. The fries, fried in duck fat, were crispy, flavorful, and absolutely amazing. Everything about this place delivered. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and seriously delicious food. We'll definitely be back on our next visit to the area. If you're in Alexandria, Virtue Feeding Grain is a must-try. Highly, highly recommended! read more

The food is amazing and our waiter was even better, shout out to Christian who gave us incredible service! Definitely recommend!!

I came here for my best friend's graduation. I appreciate how they had outdoor seating. They also have two levels. The ambiance is nice, especially when you first walk in. The food was good. We had the crab dip for an appetizer and it was nicely seasoned. The strawberry lemonade is good, but it's not a lot for the price. I ordered the short rib; it was good, but they only gave me two small pieces of short rib. In terms of service, our waiter was attentive and kind. read more

What a fun experience! My friend and I were on the hunt for a restaurant with good food and decorated for Christmas. Virtue Feed and Grain exceeded expectations! The entire restaurant was decked out in decor and was absolutely stunning. When we entered we put our name down and were told the wait would be about 30 minutes. However, the wait was only about five minutes which was a pleasant surprise ! Our waiter was knowledgeable and shared his recommendations. The menu offered all kinds of specials. Top tier experience. Definitely recommend Virtue Feed and Grain whether you're a local or just visiting the area. read more

Was looking for a lively Saturday night spot in old town and this place always comes up first when I'm searching for restaurants in old town so thought I'd give it a try! It's super big with a dining area and bar on both floors. We didn't have a reservation but put our name in and found seats at the bar in the meantime. We opted to stay at the bar because the barstools were super comfy and it was cool vibes there! We had the peppermint espresso martinis and they were absolutely delicious! We both ordered the virtue burger and the toppings weren't anything special and I personally think it could've used some sort of sauce, but the burger itself was super flavorful and cooked perfectly. The fries were very good too. I enjoy this location close to the water and just off the main row of bars and restaurants. read more

Honestly, I was expecting "just okay" bar brunch food, but I was very impressed with the quality and variety of food options--especially for brunch. The Scotch Eggs were perfectly prepared with a crispy outer layer and a just-past-jammy yolk in the center. For the main dish, I enioyed the Chesapeake Benedict which included plenty of crab given the price. Several other people at my table ordered the Gyro which looked incredible (along with the option for duck fat fries). The staff were attentive to our table even though the place was pretty busy and we were off to the side. I will definitely be back to Virtue Feed & Grain in future Alexandria visits--I've also heard they have a great beer and whiskey selection! read more

We came here yesterday for dinner with friends and family visiting for my husbands military retirement. Ambiance was very decorative and clean, very rustic. The food was absolutely amazing. I got the mezze platter and the chicken piccata. My boys got the scotch eggs, the surf and turf, and a burger and they ate every bite. Our waiter Cory was the absolute best. I actually walked up to him and told him how amazing he was as a server. There were 24 people in our party and he was absolutely impeccable. Overall wonderful experience.

This is a frequent & a staple for my family and I since nearly getting married here 9 years ago! Beer can sometimes be warm but was cool and perfect. Service can be hit or miss. Today was a hit! Sitting outside is nice when the weather is right! Inside has a good vibe, especially the upstairs! Food: get the Brussels sprouts, just do it. Then grab fish tacos (surprising flavor profile) or a burger! We would love to see a kid's burger option in the future. read more

This was one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in a while! Clay was our server and he was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The brussels sprouts and mac & cheese appetizers were both tasty, as well as the Virtue burger and the brussels sprout tacos! Oh, and there were the delicious vanilla sweet potatoes, which I am excited to recreate at home. I could've done without the duck fat fries, but I think that's just personal preference- there was nothing wrong with them if you're into that. The tables were a little squished together, but it wasn't uncomfortable, and the place was definitely packed even though it was a Thursday evening. Always a good sign! Highly recommend and will return when I'm in the area. read more

I went with a group of coworkers. They. Made a reservation earlier in the day. The experience was easy. We came in and the table was ready. The server was on it! He greeted us and got drinks for everyone, about 10 people. He was attentive, filled waters, food came out organized. That was the easiest service for a big group I've experienced. I am GLUTEN FREE. I'll say there are not a lot of gluten free options. The tacos are made with flour tortillas. I got some Shishido peppers and the Crab Dip. I did ask if the crab was from Maryland to verify and was told it was. As a Marylander I wouldn't have it any other way. I thought everything was good and the espresso martinis were great. My coworkers enjoyed all their food and drinks as well. read more

The location is also huge so we didn't have a wait even though we were there for July 4th weekend. read more

We had great service from the start; despite being 30 minutes late for our six-person reservation. It was no issue, and our server Scott was friendly, informative and responsive in a quick way.

No pics, we ate it first. read more
