We came in on a Saturday and were able to order the mimosa carafe for our table but were too late to be able to take advantage of the $5 refill so we asked to see the lunch menu since evidently brunch was over. We stayed with oysters and also ordered the nachos - which were HUGE! Our party of 5 couldn't finish them! Everyone enjoyed their food - except for me. I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich and it definitely needed some seasoning! But the wings, the French dip sandwich and the teriyaki salmon wrap all received great reviews from the rest of my family. read more

I've seen that this place is open late and close by. I popped by to see the vibes and was pleasantly surprised. It's huge! Fire places and lights and murals and more. I like it here. Good beer good food good service. Christy took good care of me tonight! I'll be back to eat, drink, and be jolly! Hehehehe read more

Food was awesome. Had the short ribs, the crispy brussel sprouts and wings. All perfect. Sadly for hubby they don't have stouts or porters on draft, but he got a left hand peanut butter milk stout in the can. My Bloody Mary was yummy as well. A nice drive from Old Town Alexandria! read more

Came for a quick dinner with my friend. We were seated quickly. Our server was very friendly and helpful. We got the ahi tuna nachos, which were very filling, even being split by two people. Be careful if you do not like spicy dishes, because it was very spicy. We also got the crab dip which was a nice portion and delicious. The espresso martinis were really good, the espresso tasted very fresh. read more

I've been in DC since 1994 and have had my share of crab cakes. Good crab cakes. Bad crab cakes. Ok crab cakes. This was by far one of THE worst ones I've ever eaten! PURE MUSH...SOUPY even! The avocados didn't help the mush factor! The sandwich had old bay potato chips on it which could have helped add some texture. It didn't and they were softened by the raw crab cake and mushy avocado! The only thing that saved this meal is the French fries and I added bacon (on side)! They had some things on the menu that I see have pretty good reviews so I will try again but this meal was a definite MISS!! read more

This place has a fun atmosphere for watching a game, having dinner, or just getting a casual drink. My friends and I went to watch the Capitals game and for some drinks. They had a good selection of food which I am excited to go back and try more of. We got their fries which were delicious and their homemade ranch is one of the best I've had! Our server was the best! They were super funny, joking around with us and having a good time. We felt welcomed as it was our first time there. They had live music while we were there as well and sounds like there's other fun events depending on the day of the week. I look forward to coming back here! read more

Had a crab cake platter here recently for dinner with friends. The service was pretty good. The inside of this place is deceivingly large. Casual bar/restaurant with neighborly vibes. Unfortunately the food was not great. Crab cakes had quite a bit of filler and were dry. I would give them a 2.5/5 overall. Would not come here again solely for the food. But to hangout with friends or do some trivia? Sure why not. read more

Went on a solo date for Tuesday happy hour, and I can honestly say I was truly happy with my pot of mussels and $1 oysters. Service was superb and fast--shoutout to my server Nicco, who was just the right amount of attentive. The host was also very welcoming, which made for a great first impression. This spot is perfect for an after-work hangout. I can't speak for the rest of the menu since I stuck to the oysters and mussels, but based on what I had, I'll definitely be back! read more

Came on St. Patrick's Day and had a great experience! Live music started at 7pm and was great. Staff was able to seat us quickly and was very friendly. $1 oysters on Tuesday that had little saltiness. The fried chicken sandwich was absolutely amazing, fresh, and flavorful. read more

This is my go-to neighborhood bar, and its fantastic! The weekly specials are hard to beat. Tuesday night are $1 oysters, 1/4 lb peel and eat shrimp, and mussel pots for $5 all the way until midnight. Wednesdays are half price wings. Get them grilled and dip them in the green sauce. You won't regret it! Mondays are trivia night with half-price burgers, and on Fridays and Saturdays they've got live music that a vibe. The bartenders - shoutout to Drew, Steph and Zach are always welcoming and mix up some legit cocktails. The food is great. I especially love the ancient buddha grain bowl. Hits the spot each time. Also want to give a special mention to the yuca fries. As a peruvian, I can confirm they got the yellow sauce just right. Crispy, flavorful and addictive. It's also a great place to catch a game with plenty of TV's around the bar. The kitchen stays open late, so its clutch for late-night bites. If you're ever on Columbia Pike, this is a spot worth checking out. read more

WJ Tabern is a good happy hour place if you're lover of wings. Each of the flavors that we picked with legitimately good and I don't think it necessarily has a bad selection of beers. One thing -- the waitstaff wasn't as attentive when I asked for a nonalcoholic cocktail and gave me an alcoholic one. That docks a star but otherwise I think for happy hour prices, it's worth it. read more

I walked in on a Tuesday night. Which apparently was one of the smartest decisions I made because they have a raw bar and on Tuesdays it's a buck a shuck. Oh yeah. Oysters on the half-shell, baby. And they're all mine. The oysters were delicious. I also got the lump crab dip, which was good. They have a great selection of beers. The hush-puppies are delightful. My least favorite thing I tried was the fries, but I think that's because everything else I ate was just that good. Our waitress was awesome, keeping us happy even while dealing with multiple tables and groups. There's TV's all around the the sound is off so you can have a decent conversation without having to shout. Great place. read more

Visited on a Saturday afternoon, not crowded, and low noise. We were seated quickly and service was quick and efficient, the waitress was also very nice and ensured that any modifications we requested to our orders were honored. The food is great (especially the fries ). WJT also has a great brunch on the weekends which is definitely worth checking out as well. A+++ mimosas! Parking is not a problem as there are plenty of options around (street and garages). read more

Want to find a place where all the joy has been sucked out of the world. Come here. This place is so sad. Just sad people sitting around a sad bar looking at their phone. Eating alone. For some reason I was never served. I went with a friend, a white male, and the bartender did not talk to me. He asked my friend for his drink order but when I chimed up he walked away. When he asked for a food order he asked my friend and not me and he walked away. We were sitting next to each other and talking to each other so how could someone in the restaurant industry not know that I wanted to orderdidn't even get to order. Garbage. Don't go here. I did not eat. I did not drink. I left. This ruined our night. I felt bad for my friend because he felt guilty. He packed his food to go. I insisted that he not have to be my protector. I needed to extricate myself because I was so upset. This impacts my impression of the other establishments like dogwood and bear branch tavern (I used to love these places) And don't attempt some canned management response or gift card. Fix your staff and how you treat customers don't bribe me. read more

At least based on my lunch experience, I'm surprised WJ's Tavern is rated so lowly. I loved the salmon wrap...and they even asked how we wanted our salmon done (and mine was perfect medium-rare which is my usual test of the kitchen's attention to detail). It's a great wrap with wasabi slaw poised against the strong salmon flavor with other delicious bits thrown in...but lunch also includes a wide choice of excellent sides (mine was the fine side salad and my companion's elote corn was great, too, served on two short corn cobs). Service was friendly, if a tad slow (it was an off-hour lunch) and the tavern is a cozy place to hang out. There's a great central TV bar with some hunky slinging drinks and working hard. The sour cherry pie and ice cream for dessert was also delicious. Cheap, no; but I'd go back for that salmon wrap ASAP. read more

My husband and I were looking for somewhere to watch the game and they were very accommodating! Our waitress was on it! She got the game on, was attentive with our food and drinks. She made sure to check in regularly but not too much were it was annoying. There was live music and the band was playing some oldies and some new music! And the crowd was entertaining, definitely recommend! read more

4.6/5. Has been amazing the past few years. Food is fantastic!!!!!! Sports have plenty of tv's:)

WJT always has really great service, and great reliable meals! With their daily specials and weekly deals, I think that they put a lot of creativity into their menu and customer experience. Some of my favorite menu items are their tempura cauliflower, crispy wings, ahi nachos, and french dip. Of course, their $1 oysters and other raw bar specials on Tuesdays can't be beat for this area. Overall, some of their menu items definitely outshine others, but if you're looking for a solid meal, it's a good choice! read more

I went here last night 5-10-24 like 11:00 pm with my boyfriend for date night . The ambiance was very chill vibes and they had a live band the lady was singing she sung several covers of songs I knew it was great!! The vibes were good the place overall had a nice bar set up and fireplaces on both sides!! The service was good consistently checking on our table and what we may have needed. The Food!!!!!....App; Fried Chicken Wings the Sriracha Honey that the waiter recommended was soooo gooood I'd definitely get them again, My Bf got the Beer Cheese & pretzel logs they sprinkled too much salt he brushed most of it off then it was good & edible, but the beer cheese was very good....we got the Tavern Burgers to Go!!! I'm impressed by the Bourbon Mayo and the Bacon Onion Jam!! and I got lettuce and tomato so I'll come back to review that!! But the burger itself was thick!!! No complaints on the burger to bun ratio at all . Since the tavern burger was ordered with 2 patties I split it and gave my mama a Pattie and she tore that sucks uppp (her words) lol it was flavorful the bacon onion jam was a great combo she'd definitely get one again. Overall I'd definitely return!! And they it's great they stay open til 2am!! So we left right on the nose of closing tiiiime read more

Another solid takeout in the books. The Cobb salad is my old reliable, so good so fresh. The chicken is the best I've ever had (on a salad) and the balsamic is so so good. And can happily report the beer cheese tastes more like beer (it's more pronounced in a good way). Always knockout food, 10/10 would recommend. read more

Surprised at the low ratings here. Came here for an early dinner on a Friday. The place wasn't too busy. The chicken sandwich was delicious and they honored happy hour prices outside on the patio. Only issue was it took a bit to be noticed when entering (I.e., getting seated) but other than that our server was stellar. read more

Husband and I were here for a happy hour with his job. We had the small bites such as the pork sliders,cheeseburger sliders, bbq and hot wings, and the fries. Didn't order drinks due to a fast, but the water was tasty! OH MY GOODNESS THE FRIES THOUGH! Super good. Apparently they have a parking garage, but couldn't locate it.

A welcoming spot with live music, lotsa fireplaces, yummy food, and fun drinks. After busting out of Escape Room around the corner at around 10pm on a Saturday, my friends and I wanted a snack and some drinks. Here, we found a table right away. Our server recommended their Chicken Nachos which arrived huge and legit with toppings galore including plenty of jalapenos. Then churray for Churros Donuts! They matched perfectly well with my XXX Adult Hot Chocolate full of brandy, aged rum, spiced cream, and honey topped with a house-made marshmallow- SO YUM! Zero pretense, good food, and good drinks!

The juiciest tastiest cheeseburger that I have ever had! Real beef, well seasoned, moist big burger, delicious sandwich!!! Shockable! Their best appetizer is the corn on the cob, covered with seasonings and light sprinkles of shredded mozzarella! This dish is addictive! I ordered by phone and the gentleman (guy was a bit cold though lol) who took my order as well as the cook got my order specifications just right! Had a great meal, reasonably priced for the value of the food served! Bravo!!!! Thank You, Father in Heaven for the blessing of a great meal!

My friend and i come here all the time and he loves it. He brought me for the first time and I had such a great experience . If I am being completely honest, my favorite part is the bathroom is the bathrooms are very private and super super clean.

I recently attended an event here. It took place in the back room where the second bar is. The space is very dark and dated. I have attended other events here, and it seems as though the food offerings were pretty much the same. They had a few different crostini to choose from, steak with horseradish, olive tapenade, and smoked salmon with goat cheese, as well as tuna nachos on crispy wontons. I enjoyed all of the aforementioned items. In addition to the items previously mentioned, there were sliders, wings, veggies, hummus with pita points, and cheese. Nothing to write home about, the wings were lacking in flavor and salt, the hummus was just standard, it tasted almost store-bought, the sliders were dry, and there wasn't any kind of barbecue sauce or other condiments put out for them. The bartender was friendly and made decent drinks. read more

Came here for Super Bowl Sunday a couple weeks ago. Very nice tavern in Arlington. The setup is nice with multiple TVs everywhere and spacious bar seating. Even has private rooms and sections for those reserving space for an event. Definitely a cool spot to chill and drink at however, the service for me was very slow. I ordered poke nachos and waited nearly 40 mins for nachos which was annoying. And honestly, the nachos weren't that great. Also had the cinnamon roll-ups for dessert but they were just okay. Overall the food wasn't that great, if I go back I would just get a drink. read more

Stopped by here for a quick bite before a comedy show at the Arlington Cinema Drafthouse and I am glad I did. It was super swanky inside and the bartender greeted me right away. I had a margarita to drink (delicious) and some buffalo wings with fries. The fries were a bit too greasy for my liking, but the wings were tasty. I got their ghost pepper sauce on the side (super spicy, but good!). Looks like there's a live band as well. read more
