Chill place during lunch time, I tried to come about a month ago when I found it in the search engine but the line was around the corner. Today I ended up in the area around lunch time and decided to check it out.
The bartender Nikki was nice and attentive, the Greek Salad was very tasty and I had Grilled salmon, mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli and it was Amazing.. well cooked;a nice portion, juicy and the mashed potatoes were fresh made with the lil lumps in it (like I like them ☺️) first drink (long island) was a lil more sweet than drink but she made up with the second one. Definitely enjoyed the meal and environment and will definitely visit again if I end up back in the area for lunch again.
What I did appreciate is that there was a smoking side and a non smoking side to the restaurant. A definite plus as I have been both in life.. now that I quit 5+ years ago I was thankful for the smoke free side but appreciate the side that allows it for those who still smoke☺️ my food was slightly over $26 for the salad and entree... Drinks are reasonable priced.

After patronizing for 13 years I was barred. WAS Not given a reason why. Manager on duty was Hunter. I was definitely wronged. I tried to contact another manager and I was ignored . SPANKEY'S Has changed It just isn't the same. What a way to run a business . VERY disappointing and hurtful !! I truly believed the staff and owner was my friends.We use to have so much fun. I guess I was wrong. 😮💨

I had a great breakfast here. There are many options on the menu, all reasonably priced. I also loved the atmosphere. It is essentially two taverns in one, as the smoking and non-smoking halves are entirely separated.

After seeing the strong reviews I was underwhelmed. Although the non-smoking room is walled off, you can still smell it. It's 2025, and I just dont think its necessary. The food was okay. We ordered the wings which were fine (4/5) but my biggest disappointment was the Buffalo-style chicken sandwich. Either they ran out of buffalo sauce or they were rationing it out that night. The main positive was the ability to watch the game regardless if youre sitting at the bar or dining at a table. Good views from all angles. The staff are very friendly and helpful too.
Order 20 piece wing breaded with a burger bacon on the side bartender was amazing fast and speedy. She knows exactly what she’s doing. Great customer service highly recommend.

SURPRISE! Spankys is essentially an institution in Leesburg, it's been around forever. It's taken a long time for me to get around to checking it out. It feels and seems like a dive bar! It's divided into a smoking half, and a smoke-free half. You can smell the smoke seep through, but it's manageable.
The food is actually fantastic!! Good service, fresh food, always hot, never soggy or cold. Typical bar fare, but done right. Ranges from burgers and wings, to comfort food like meatloaf, or fish and chips. Ordered pretzels with beer cheese and mustard, and a chicken Parm sub. Both were above average, with a below average price point. It's not fancy, it's not particular special, it's just executed really well. Onion rings were sweet, crunchy, and plentiful. Chicken Parm was breaded well but not thick, roll was crispy on the outside, and the pretzels were awesome.
10/10 would go back.

Edit: After returning, the staff were very understanding & accepted my passport as secondary form of ID. As compensation, they offered my partner & I a free round of drinks which was more than generous. Great people, and hopefully this won’t happen again
I had a very poor experience at spanky’s last night on 8/17. Went out to celebrate my best friend’s 21st birthday and just because I was the only person who lived out of state (in WV) they declined my ID and thought it was fake as well when I am turning 23 this year. I had multiple other proofs of documents that showed my ID/ age on my phone and they also refused those as well.
I can only assume they serve people who live in VA & refuse anyone with an out of state license, especially WV. Next time I will need to bring my PHYSICAL passport with me to be able to be served.
It was such a ridiculous situation & they lost good paying customers. Our whole group left because of it. Shenanigans needs to have a scanner for ID to help prevent this issue. I hope the next time I come there they will have implemented a scanner for anyone out of state.
