“Good food. Need to give better napkins“

“The young girl bartender was absolutely fabulous. We got great service from her. She was really sweet and kind. I think her name was Kali Kala i can't remember. But it was refreshing to see genuine kindness from someone her age. Great young lady, great food and great service. 10/10!“

“Food was great.. atmosphere was good too..“

“I come from this atmosphere working in the industry.
It's been put together very well. Service is wonderful. Kristina is such a pleasure along with the the rest of the team. Michael was awesome the other night. Sierra and Taylor were also a pleasure.
Glad to see a concept like Stockyards finally be in downtown.“

“I'm new in town. The people are laid back and easygoing. It's very low-key and you'll find the folks are genuine. This is definitely not DC people (that's my scene), but it's a small town, and that's the vibe you get here.“

“I absolutely adore this place. A friendly atmosphere and some of the best cocktails I’ve had in years.“

“Our Thanksgiving dinner was excellent and the service was outstanding! Another great experience at Brock's!!! Thank you!!“

“Had dinner and drinks at the Fredericksburg location Adriana, Jayla, and Taylor the bartenders were so awesome. Such a great vibe had dinner at Firebirds the night before totally underwhelming the bartenders at Park Lane worked in unison and absolutely friendly and engaging with the customers. Those three should actually own the bar. I will definitely be back next time. I travel to Fredericksburg.“

“We went almost at closing, but they still welcomed us with a smile. Our server was great and food was delicious. I usually don't write reviews but this was such a great experience. Recommend it 💯 👌“

“Amazing happy hour deals, and food was impeccable. Especially the wings. They slappedddddd!!! 10 out of 10, must try again!!!“

“Had breakfast, lunch and a snack at the Bistro - it is located in the Marriott Courtyard on Caroline Street. We were staying at the Courtyard, and found the Bistro to have many interesting options for snacks, breakfast and lunch. We tried the breakfast Burrito - excellent, and had several cups of coffee, bagels and muffins for snacks. Sandwiches and salads also are available, and we had the chicken pot pie, which was hot and delicious. The bistro includes a fine full service bar, so you can order beer, wine or cocktails as well as food. A very spacious eating area includes larger tables for groups as well as more private seating with TVs for couples. A very nice spot for a quick snack or light meal when walking around the Historic District.of Old Town.“

“The appetizers are delicious! The Philly loaded fries, the Bruschetta, scallops, and the artichoke dip was delicious. Our bartender was very friendly and made sure we had what we needed. My dessert, the tiramisu was heavenly!“

“Will is hands down one of the best bartenders! Drinks are awesome and equally beautifully handcrafted!“

“Great people! And pool+Darts“

“Got a chefs salad and it was huge and fresh! Always friendly and great service!“

“Stopped in randomly and we enjoyed everything! Hubs had the burger and an Old Fashioned. I had the seasonal drink, Sweater Weather, and the veggie quesadilla. Both were delicious!!! If you are in the area, stop in!“

“Visited here yesterday at 5:00'ish. This restaurant is very busy & the food is fantastic. This was my party's first visit here.

Mixed experience. The waitstaff here deserves 5 stars, but the host/hostess stand deserves 0 (sorry, not even a 1 that a smile alone would have warranted). Unfortunately a 0 & a 5 equals a 2.5 ⭐ rating for service. Since I was unable to give a 2.5 I rounded up to a 3 in favor of the server.

The Bad: Hostesses/check-in staff were not friendly at all, not smiling or exchanging even slight pleasantries upon your arrival. Not sure if they got overwhelmed due to a full restaurant with people waiting in the front & outside to be seated (though I think that would be expected on Memorial Day weekend), but the general feeling was rushed, overwhelmed & inconvenienced by your arrival. They seemed to treat everyone this way whether they were people dining in, taking out, or delivery drivers. There seemed to be a lack of communication between people working there & the waitstaff and kitchen. The entire front-of-restaurant vibe was unprofessional, uncomfortable & tense, and I feel management needs to address this as it sets the tone for the night, or at least the early part of it.

The Good: The 3 stars for service is all due to the servers here, who are very friendly & deserve 5 stars!

Our waitress was absolutely phenomenal. She was attentive, friendly, and saved the evening. The food was delicious and well-prepared. It even smelled wonderful while we waited in the front and smelled orders leaving the restaurant. Timing was about what you would expect for it being very busy.

Overall, I liked the restaurant but the initial entry experience was highly disappointing. One member of my party said she was not impressed & that it left such a bad impression of the restaurant that she will not return. I might give them another try, but probably not at a busy hour or on a holiday based on this experience.“
