Jazz brunch was a nice way to start a Sunday. Music, food and service were all great. I look forward to future events at Earp's. Definitely a wonderful addition to Old Town Fairfax.

As new Fairfax residents, we have been on the lookout for food and entertainment that's walking distance from our new home. We feel lucky to have discovered Earp's, which really delivered everything we were looking for. All the staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. We loved the live music, relaxed and friendly vibe and music-themed decor, and the food was delicious. The brussels sprouts were so good that I know the first thing I do when I sit down next time will be to place an order for them. Actually, that will be the second thing because Earp's has a great cocktail list and the list of beer, cider, and wine will be worth trying as well. I'm looking forward to a return visit already!

We started with a pisco sour, which was delicious. The bang bang shrimp is the best I've had anywhere and so are their burgers. My husband had the wedge salad with bulgogi beef added and loved it. Our other favorites are the bulgogi tots and the spare rib sandwich. They have excellent live music acts in which is something that our area has needed for a long time. We love this place!

I took my parents out to Earp's Ordinary and thought it was a great experience. Here's a breakdown of my thoughts: Food: Excellent! We had the Bang Bang shrimp appetizer. The shrimp were crispy and flavorful. I think I liked the bed of Asian noodles under the shrimp even more. I had the chicken and sausage gumbo with rice. They asked if I wanted to try the homemade hot sauce with it and it was excellent. I also tried my dad's short rib sandwich and my mom's Nashville Hot Chicken. Both were very good. Atmosphere: it's a cool place that is perfect for live music. There was karaoke going on, which I love, but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't hold a conversation. Additionally, the restaurant has a bunch of games and chessboards which provide some entertainment and make it seem like a place you can hang out for several hours with friends. Almost a coffee shop vibe. Service: our server was attentive and made good suggestions. The owner stopped by to chat and was very cordial. Overall, I highly recommend. It's a great place to eat and hang out.

Went there to see friends and hear some live music (country / bluegrass), and discovered amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. We were really impressed and cannot wait for the next visit!

Earp's Ordinary is extraordinary: live music is phenomenal, great vibe, the staff is warm, affable and attentive and superb bar food! A great place to hang out for the whole evening! Love this place!

Great music! Excellent service! I had the spicy dumplings and their smash burger! They really pay attention to you! It was a unique experience, most places don't make you feel like you belong, but at Earp's, you feel like you're among friends!

These guys got it hitting on all cylinders! The ambiance, service, food, cocktails, staff, owners were all amazing and then they throw in live music!? Wow, we had a great experience and can't wait to go back! Looking forward to the new location but apart from maybe more space, they've got it going on in the current space!!

Love love love this place! We go for the live music, food and craft cocktails. Fun, fabulous friendly wait staff. Food is delicious, music line-ups alway solid. A gem in old Town Fairfax!
Seating at high tops very uncomfortable, one server for entire restaurant, 4 piece band in tiny space very very loud and people standing all thought out dining room right next to tables made whole experience feel crowded. If rest is going to co to ur in space need to work on the stools and rethink. The bar dining room experience - not everyone is there for the concert experience - food is very good but ambience really impacts the experience - sorry won't be back

Earp's is the most fun I've had in a long time. Took my granddaughter for her 23rd birthday and we both had a blast. The food was gourmet quality. We sat up front for the Drag Show and it did not disappoint. The Kings and Queens were talented and fun as was the singing MC. Entire crew were on their game and we hope to go back for more. The staff was warm, friendly and welcoming and took great care of us. Amazing vibes here. We need more of this!!!! Awesome - Highky recommend.

What a great find this pop-up restaurant was! Their permanent location is being built and will open sometime in May. The staff is very friendly and personable and the food was impeccable! The portions are enormous so go there hungry! It gets very busy and a small place at the moment so make reservations that day if you want to dine there at a specific time. We got there at about 2:45pm on a Saturday and had a reservation. Although it was very busy, we were told we could just find whichever table we would like to sit at. Will most definitely go back for some amazing upscale comfort food!!

Zandra’s tacos are good, but beware of the “House Account” offers they make. It is essentially a scam. It says clearly you can use for carry-out, but there is no way to pay for carry-out using the system. We paid $250 and can’t really use it. The manager promised months ago they were working on fixing it, but it is still not fixed. Last week when we called to use it they said they were “too busy” to take phone orders. They weren’t too busy to accept my pre-paid house account though. Beware of that offer, it’s a scam.
