We were visiting Alexandria last week and were lucky to have Northside 10 Bar & Grill just a five-minute walk from our Airbnb. We loved it so much that we ate there several times during our trip. The food was absolutely delicious—some of our favorites were the braised short ribs, risotto, flounder, crab dip, and short rib poutine. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert. The Beignets are to die for! The service was top-notch as well. We had the same waiter, Dan, each time we visited, and he was fantastic—so friendly, attentive, and always on top of everything, from refilling our drinks to checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. If you're in the area, this place is not to be missed! We’ll definitely be back next time we are in town.

This place was awesome. Service was great, drinks were delicious and I loved the vibe. The tables outside need replacement- I would like to recommend POLYWOOD outdoor furniture, they are reliable and fast shipping. They are not cheap but come with a warranty. I don’t work there just had a good experience

Update: I visited about a year ago because one of my closest friends wanted to go there for her birthday and I would not not go because of this. The service was better and so was the food. They recognized me pretty quickly and began pointing at me and laughing and was even taking pictures…but ok, I get it. I did say in my previous review I would never return, so I guess they got me. But I was not going to miss my good friends birthday celebration because of them.

This review is very long…sorry!

Just a note…I emailed the manager before Christmas because I explained I wanted to give them a chance to respond, I also apologized that I never posted a positive review for Northside 10 and that was my negligence, but this is why I gave them 3 stars. But at this point I’m done.

Im starting this off by saying that I have been going to Northside for years (5+) since I started working at the elementary school down the street. When I started going here I absolutely loved it, great food and service weather sitting at the bar, chatting with regulars or sitting in the dining area. Every bartender and server I met was great and chatted with the manager several times. With the pandemic obviously everything changed & life stopped so…At the beginning of this school year (8/2022), I started to go back & was happy to feel like life was getting back to normal. The last 2 times was just absolutely terrible service & the food was not great.

On the first visit, 10/28 at approx 3:30pm, we sat at a high top in the bar area & the bartender came over pretty gruffly to take the drink orders…. throughout the beginning order process, he was very clearly annoyed and took a few of our orders then walked away without taking my order. So after several of my friends were receiving their drinks, I was still trying to place mine. One of the other servers saw my frustration and came over to take my order. Everyone received their orders at different times, but whatever, just trying to relax after a long school day, but left not satisfied with the service.

We then went back on 12/7 and were expecting a few other people to join us, and we wanted 2 high top tables to push together. We sat at one high top table & there was another one next to us but there was money, receipts & a cell phone on it, figured it was a servers so didn’t move the table, just waited & waited. Finally someone came out & we told them that we would need the center table because we would have more people joining. The server looked bothered & told us whatever we wanted to do was fine, she then removed the items off the table annoyingly and walked away, she did not clean it or move it. So we ended up moving the table over and waited and waited and waited…by then, 2 of the other people we were expecting joined us and we still did not place our order because the server did not return (about 15 minutes), to be fair, it became very busy, very fast, but we were one of the first customers there since it was about 3:30. I was truly annoyed but we placed our orders anyway. Once received, the food was not good. We ordered the happy hour nachos, the chips were soggy, the chicken was not seasoned (as usual) and it was not fresh. My co-worker ordered wings and she said they were hard & not flavorful, she also got sick that night. BTW, these were my favorite wings in Alexandria City.

At both of these visits the servers did not smile and just seemed annoyed, to serve us. I don’t know what happened, it was my absolute favorite place and recommended it to everyone, who, at one time loved it too. I feel like the treatment was personal, and am not the only one who feels this way, and I don’t know why. Unfortunately, we will not be returning, even though they seem to be busy all of the time, and I’m sure it won’t make a difference to them, I am super disappointed but we all feel that people should not be treated this way.

Nothing on the menu seemed truly original or creative. So a good safe place to eat. Did have Gluten Free options.

This place is very simple and community-based their Parmesan Flounder is my favorite dish there, however they have many options to choose from. I love the traditional style restaurant setting on the inside and I also enjoy sitting underneath the umbrellas on good days on the side of the restaurant. I’m from Washington DC and I would suggest anyone go here if they want something fresh and fulfilling.

Great little spot! Restaurant has a bar, indoor and outdoor seating. We sat indoors in the dining area but could still see the games in the bar area. Our food and service was great- I’d definitely go again!
