Mackenzie's Tunes & Tonics

I've gone to Mackenzie's twice now and both times have been great. My first visit the bartender greeted my friend and I when we sat down. She recommended drinks and checked in on us. We were their for the open mic and the atmosphere was very welcoming to musicians and the bar patrons were pleasant as well. My second visit I was greeted when I walked in the door by Casey behind the bar. The food smelled amazing so I ordered food and it didn't disappoint. Overall, service is consistent which is great, I like the atmosphere and the food. I look forward to making the trip the Mackenzie's again soon.

This small restaurant in Fairfax City feature mic night and comfort food. We got the short rib sandwich, the spicy chicken sandwich and the pulled pork sandwich.

The chicken sandwich tastes was pretty good. The flavor is good and the sandwiches very large and juicy. Each of these plates come with a generous portion of french fries.

The short rib sandwich was also very large with a very big piece of short rib meats inside to justify for the price of the sandwich. The pulled pork sandwich had a unique flavor and tasted pretty good. Portions are generous here. The only complaints is both the short rib sandwich and the pulled pork sandwiches were on the salty side. It seems that the short rib was cooked for a long time and it became dry and salty. Regardless, both sandwiches had pretty good flavor.

The food here is really good; we went on a Friday afternoon and while it clearly gets busy later, it was such a lovely ambiance outside and the food was FANTASTIC. Got the cheeseburger, the Mac and cheese, but above all the Brussels sprouts are so flavorful and exciting, we’re definitely going back

First visit, really enjoyed it. Great service. Good drinks and food...some mixed opinions on burgers from others, but my short rib sammich was solid, as were the pretzel and roasted sprouts apps. Cool live music setting the mood. Will be back for sure.
