“I was so amazed just by walking in how friendly the staff was. The atmosphere was very lovely and as soon as we walked in we had the cashier ask us if we needed any help with the menu. The wait wasn’t bad at all for what we ordered. We got 3 cheesesteaks, Crab fries, Fish, etc.. The food just tased so immaculate! I have no complaints whatsoever and will be returning.“

“This was an incredible experience. My husband & I shared a strip steak, my daughter had a strip steak and granddaughter the lamb. All were beautifully cooked. We shared 4 sides and had the parker rolls. My granddaughter ordered the Bananas Foster for her birthday and we all shared. I would go back just for that!“

“Went there on Friday Sept 8 to see The Binta Campbell Experience and it was AWESOME! She and her band were really good, we enjoyed the "daye night" vibe. The wings were good, but the "crab dip" was definitely NOT crab....it was artichokes 😠🤮😳. and totally disgusting. I paid $15 for some crab dip with 🚫🦀 SMH“

“When I tell you this is the Sunday breakfast you need!!! Come support this black owned business!! ASAP!! Everything is soooooo good!!!! Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself!!!“

“This place is a true local gem. Food is of very high quality, and everything is consistently cooked to perfection. Their consistency is actually really impressive - I’ve never been disappointed by a single thing, and I’ve eaten A LOT of their food. But everything is so good, so I haven’t really made my way outside of the same few items from their menu. The difference is that the staff actually care about their customers, and take pride in their food. It’s not so common these days, and is a pleasant surprise. It’s the reason I will always eat there.“

“Love this place! Dinner is always 10/10 but service, we had Alena or elena and she was just the sweetest young lady and she knows was shes doing, and she was honest too with her recommendations! We always have a tuna and oysters! Then steak this time we shared the cowboy ribeye and added scallops which by the way is not on the menu but elena said they could do it and it was delicious!! 5 star service“

“the people there were absolutely the nicest to our family. the food was magnificent!! thanks for a good experience!“

“Great find! Good music and great food!“

“Very welcoming from the time we walked in the door. Had the Bison filet and it was perfect. The entire staff was on point with everything. Great for a date night or to bring the family out for dinner! Can’t wait to come again“

“Service here was great. My waitress was attentive and provided top notch service. I couldn't ask better from her.

The atmosphere and vibe was good also. Decorated for the holidays really well. The music choice didn't fit the vibe but luckily it was so low I had to focus to hear it.

My only negative was I asked for a medium burger. See photo attached that my burger was well done. Outside of that I couldn't be happier.

The highlight were rhe cocktails. Phenomenal!!!!“

“Burger was a bit pink at the ends but it was still delicious. Fries were super salty though. But also delicious. Definitely try it out.“

“Absolutely the best food and service in old town !! Amazing chili and cornbread!! I would recommend this for great prices and excellent food !!“

“Update 2025:

Sooooo great!!!!! Has only improved since we had to move. New setup is incredible and drinks have surpassed the original menus leaps and bounds! GO HERE!

Sets the bar by which we measure all cocktails. Never disappointed, each menu always multiple amazing options. I can count on my hands the number of times i have got a cocktail someplace else and NOT been totally disappointed in comparison.

Ambience is brilliant, lively but not too loyd. Brilliant date night. Service is always wonderful and light bites are incredible.

Brussel sprouts are the best around and the pork belly is beyond amazing.“

“Amazing, cozy, upscale atmosphere. Only 8 tables in a sophisticated setting. We were there on a night when the piano was in full swing - adding to the ambiance. The food was delicious, and our server (Sean) went way above and beyond to make our experience great. It was a little pricey - but well worth it!“

“Our party of eight enjoyed our meals. We were there for brunch on Sunday morning and everyone enjoyed their food. The service was great and we didn't have to wait long for our food to be delivered to the table. All food was hot and good. We will definitely be back.“

“The staff is fantastic. Steve & Kendall gave great customer service“

“Perfect space for a drink and meal before walking Lee Street on Halloween night! The food was flavorful (steak salad & gumbo) and served quickly with care. The bartenders G and Raul treated my guy and I like family. Their energy was infectious and they ran the bar effortlessly.“

“Great staff, great food. I love the trivia nights“

“I tried the Hot Honey Lemon Pepper wings… and WOW! It was genuinely fabulous. The wings were so flavorful, extremely tender, and ferociously enjoyable. I have no complaints! I will most definitely come back and try ALL their flavors. Kudos to them!❤️“

“My girlfriend and I had the same cocktail which was very tasty and the 1st on menu. We ordered the tots and got something very different than expected that she could not have and i thought was fair at best. However our entrees were great. I had a very tasty steak in a good salad and her burger was modified to her liking with a little input from staff. We sat at the bar and service was good despite it being one persons first shift there. Will go back and order off the great wine selection!!!“

“great bartenders great staff service drinks music food!!“

“Had plant- based and beef sausage corn dogs. Excellent. Really tasty. Highly recommend.“

“After a 12 hour car ride to our hotel, this was an Amazing and Delicious dinner for our family of 4! Very affordable. We’ve paid a lot more for a lot less, and we even got dessert! Our kids rated it a 10 out of 5 and that’s huge for them. Highly recommend!! Will be back!“

“Delicious vegan brunch with nice outdoor seating!“

“Overall above average, though not exceptional. Beef dishes (short ribs, filet mignon, and ribeye were ordered at our table) were appropriately cooked and were all excellent. Service/ambiance were rather average for the overall price we paid.“

“First time back since renovations and wow what a story this place is. It started with the chicken & waffles. The meat was really pink and hard to bite into so I decided to do french toast instead. (Minus the almond cookies.) and it was delicious but it was soft as butter so I had to request a spoon 😮 On top of that, the bartender complimented not only my neurodivergent tattoos 🏳️‍🌈♾️ but also gave me a free mocktail. Though I will warn you it’s real strong. I tasted mostly lemon but it had a hint of maple and tea. Which is ironic because strong taste is why I prefer tea over coffee (if I had to pick between the two). Regardless, these people deserve some love especially in the economic crises we have.“

“Tasia took the best care of our table, the food was all so good. We basically ordered one of everything and shared it all. Standouts were the broccolini, the spaetzle, the steak tartare (SPICY, but warm, long spicy, not super habanero hot). Will be making a visit each season as the menu changes!“

“Try the extra crispy tater tots!“

“The food was delicious. We had a large group but the service was very good. I will definitely visit again“

“It used to be more elegant. Tables cloths etc. We were seated in the middle of a room which was a walking corridor on either side of us, so it was not a peaceful setting. The wood table had sticky glass stains on it, just screaming for a tablecloth. The food was good and the server was very nice. But the whole ambiance was like a Disney move 'em in, move 'em out experience. It would be so much nicer with some thoughtful touches like candles (electric) and better table placement.“

“The tinier the French fries the better 😃 Excellent burger too.“

“We had dinner here on October 27, 2025. We were greeting by very friendly staff and were seated immediately. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. We start with drinks. Erik had an Old Fashion, while Cheryl had a Belle's Punch. The drinks arrived in a reasonable time, were well presented and tasted great. For dinner Erik had the Shrimp and Grits, while Cheryl had the Delta Rice Bowl. We also got a Jamie's Cornbread and Fried Pickles. The food arrived in a reasonable time frame and was well presented. The food was fantastic being delicious and filling. We had no room for dessert. This was an excellent dining experience that we highly recommend.“

“I went to Hummingbird with friends for dinner and we had a wonderful time. Lovely selection of creative cocktails from the bar, great atmosphere, excellent service, and incredible food!“

“I ordered my breakfast this morning through Uber Eats.My food was still fresh and warm when it was delivered and the portion size was great.The food is scrumptious. I also dine at Dennys in Bailey Crossroads in Falls Church Virginia many of times.I enjoy all there foods.The desserts and cocktails are good also.I highly recommend them!“

“When we come up from Atlanta to visit family in Alexandria, Aldo’s is a must visit. The service and food are excellent. It is a must visit and multiple occasions for our family. Consistent excellence.“

“Our server Jayla was awesome! She was very friendly. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m. weather was gorgeous outside and the outdoor patio was well covered, but we decided to sit inside. The restaurant wasn't too crowded. Jayla asked if it was our first time at Blackwall Hitch, which it was, so she went over the local favorites. She recommended the flaming crab dip and it was delicious!!! Jayla offered us extra Naan chips which I thought was generous for an upscale restaurant. I asked if she could bring us extra with a to-go box to take the rest of the dip. We also had the mahi mahi tacos and chicken-pancetta flatbread - both were great. Jayla often checked on us. We had a lovely time and the service was great! Thank you!“

“One of my favorite places to eat, always nice, quick, & great tasting food ?“

“Amazing Steakhouse ?,,,,!!!!!! Incredibly delicious!!!! Quality in Every Way!!!!“

“The Sea Bass was a total suprise. More often than not I am dissapointed when I order fish. Not the case here. The presentation was superb. The blend of flavors, textures and colors was an epicurean delight. Our waiter/bartender Damany was thoughtful, always on point without being intrusive. The whole experience was one worth repeating.“

“Thus was my 1st tume here. I got the catfish nuggets, Mac n cheese, collard greens, and sweet potatoes. The food was really good and was seasoned well. Everything was a la cart. Only thing to gripe about is the tops for the sides couldnt take the heat of my sides and caused juices to spill in the bag.“

“Shame shame on you! The behavior of your employees towards those students with special needs and their teachers were disgusting and deplorable!!!! I hope you go out of business.“

“Not to order the new side item elote corn 🌽 it looks nothing’s like what’s advertised I felt like smokey on Friday it was definitely a catfish experience and when spoke to the manager who was extremely friendly he said it doesn’t look like the picture I know Fridays is not going to spend all this money for training and advertising to sell this terrible product I do have pictures“
