I ordered the burger and elote hush puppies. The burger was not cooked to Medium temp as requested, the meat tasted foul like it was expired, and the elote hush puppies were so heavily battered and overcooked that you could hardly bite through them. I can honestly say this is the first time I have thrown away an entire meal, but it was just gross. That was an expensive meal too, such a waste.

We had a very bad experience with these guys. Manager is so rude and arrogant. We asked the bar staff for a stronger drink, he gave us the most expensive drink he thought, then he said there was a misunderstanding and brought the bill back, we paid the bill and tried to go upstairs, but the manager and staff took us out of the place. We explained the situation to them but they still didn't listen. It was a complete disgrace.

We came here for happy hour and the food was delicious. My favorite was the elote hushpuppies and the brisket grilled cheese. The brisket was so tender. Service was friendly.

This restaurant is a supporting Buffalo Bills backers bar. We went upstairs to the 2nd floor to mingle with the other Bills fans and watch the game. The atmosphere was great, as were the drinks. The staff was very friendly as well. They highly recommended the buffalo wings, which were listed as “Anchor Bar Buffalo wings”. The wings were good, but definitely not Buffalo wings. They had a barbecue taste to them more than anything. I would visit again - just not going to get the wings again.

Went to watch bills game. Food was decent and so was atmosphere. My waitress Auggie was amazing. She was very busy but I didn't feel it at all.
My only complaints were, chips were stale our SHOUT song was a lil off, not original version. But still good.
I recommend.
Fried green tomatoes were good and sonwere my drinks.

Discovered this gem while exploring Old Town for the day. Small but cozy inside, twinkling lights and all--absolutely loved the Beetlejuice themed decorations! My husband and I both thought our meals were great--he ordered the Cubano and I got the French toast. Attentive service, appreciate that we weren't rushed to get the check. Definitely plan on visiting next time we're in Alexandria!

The best food I have eaten in awhile. I had the brisket grilled cheese and hands down the best I've ever had.

The staff was ridiculously nice and helpful always making sure our drinks were topped off.
