Dogfish Head Alehouse

I'm never disappointed when I decide to dine here. Food and beer are excellent, the atmosphere is conducive to conversation, and prices are reasonable for the DC area.

Great variety on the menu and its really really good. It's Dogfish Head so you know the beers are great. The service though is top notch. Went here multiple times and the servers/tenders are the best I have experienced in years.

We ordered the crab dip appetizer and two burgers. The crab dip tasted good, but there was barely any crabmeat in it, if any at all. The burgers were very mid. They were both well-done despite asking for one to me medium rare and the other medium. They lacked flavor and juiciness that one would expect from a "burger experience." Also, the beer list was surprisingly small. There were no seasonal, fall beers.

Consistently good food and service. I will say, there are often a lot of small children sitting at the bar, which I find insane, but it's easy enough to just leave when that happens and the food quality still makes it worth the visit. I wish the bar itself, like the actual counter, was 18+ but no where is perfect.

Dropped by because my husband and I love this brewery but the beer selection is incredibly limited and the quality of food is on par with a mediocre fast food place (but more expensive). Do not recommend. Service was good however.

We had a retirement event there and they handled it very well. About 20 people and all the food and drink orders were taken and delivered promptly. Food was good, I didn't try much other than the chili, but good selection and good drink selection.

Great place with a great atmosphere We had a good time and the food was on point. We were splitting a meal well a sandwich, and they said all right we'll split it up for you said thank you and they said it's just a dollar more I said no thank you. Server was awesome super friendly and mostly punctual. Recommend checking them out if your in the area. If you want the higher percentage alcohol beer ask for a dale jr. You'll have to ask them they'll tell you about it!

Super disappointed in my recent visit there. Dogfish is usually a safe bet but there was something off with every single one of our 5 different meals. Fries were old and cold. Bones were left in a chicken sandwhich. Steak in sandwiches that was supposed to be thinly cut were think and chewy. Not sure if it was a slow day or a new chef but service was nice.

The food was very good, the service was OK, when I say OK i am being nice, my server only had three tables and with our only five people in our party our server forgot to put in my food order.The beer selection was very good and the three different beers our party had were very good.

Family enjoyed the change of atmosphere and appetizers were decent, but we were disappointed with the meal. The flavor was... neutral, at best. It's a great place to go and relax for a beer or two though.

Parking: Located pretty much in the middle of Greenbriar shopping center parking lot.

This is a very good place to eat. The only slight concern was the burger was a little dry. The atmosphere is very laid back and comforting. We were greeted and sat immediately. Our waitress Naz was absolutely amazing. Being in the restaurant business she checked all the boxes off to give us amazing service. Her recommendation of food was spot on and her attentiveness was out of this world. The price was very feasible.

Parking: Plenty of parking in the shopping center

Kid-friendliness: Laid back with plenty of family seating

Bartenders here were fantastic. Beer was as good as it gets. The hot dogs topped with queso and chorizo were banging. Loved it here!!

The atmosphere and beer is good but I think I ordered an item that wasn't their specialty. The buffalo chicken sandwich was just alright. The chicken patty was thin and the bacon was ok. I also got it with onion rings instead of fries but the breading used for the rings was thin so you are just eating a red onion after the breading falls off.

My fiance and I ate here today, I don't normally write reviews but I have to share what happened. The service was very nice and our waitress was kind. We ordered nachos and they were good.(very light meat and the chips were unseasoned but I would still rate it good)My partner got the steak sandwich and I got the veggie sandwich. He took one bite of his and couldn't eat it. I tried a piece of the meat and it tasted like (fuel) we sent it back and told 2 of the wait staff and they removed it from the bill. That was nice and we tipped well, was not the servers fault. Then I got home and an hour later I got sick. (All I ate today was the food from here) The service was really nice but the food was not desirable.

Our server Jeremy was awesome from start to finish as some of my coworkers and I had a ball enjoying happy hour. Food and drinks were perfect. Will consider going back for a future Happy hour.
