“What a find! We were staying at the cottage on property so walked over for dinner. Great pizza. Staff from pizza company worked so hard! Fabulous IPAs on tap. Enjoyed the Italian music provided by a local trio. Bonnie is a wonderful host. Don’t miss this place if you are in the area.“

“My favorite winery hands down, amazing selection, love the owner, feels at home... couldn't ask for a better place!“

“Best food ever! I was in town two days and ate dinner there both nights! I had the Big Veg Burger one night and the Creamy Coco Ramen Bowl the 2nd night. Best dishes I ever ate! I am not a huge dessert person but HAD to have the oat milk ice cream both nights! I had chocolate one night and vanilla the 2nd night. Yummy! Super quaint, fresh food, awesome company, and loved talking to Ben and others. They run an awesome business! Wish I had this restaurant in Indiana! I highly recommend! Thank you guys! Made my trip so much more amazing than it already was! I appreciate your kindness! I will be back someday!“

“love the food and the people there! finally I found a place with authentic middle east cuisine. the kebab with salad in a wrap is my favorite . way to go! gyro in pita bread with salad is also very tasty.“

“Ate here for dinner tonight with my 2 boys…we each had a bacon cheeseburger. It was delicious! Hopefully this place has better luck than the last tenant!“

“Wonderful, welcoming shop with a wide variety of delicious freshly baked items. The staff is friendly and helpful and nans everyone feel like part of the family. We will be back!!“

“We did a large catering order of 51 bowls - the staff was extremely helpful, customized our bowls, and delivered them - the bowls were fresh, beautiful, and so delicious! The manager, Andrew, was extremely helpful and accommodating.“

“Delicious“

“awesome spot. Great people“

“So good!!! I got a vanilla latte and a bagel, both were fantastic! Service was so quick and everyone was so friendly. Such a cute and fun spot!!“

“Beautiful quaint and cozy place with an AMAZING view of the town!! The food was awesome too!! Will definitely be eating here again next time we're in town. 😌“

“We had a wonderful experience at the vineyard! Nancy is an amazing person. The staff were great and the wine was wonderful!“

“Love Tarbender’s! Such a unique spot. Live music on Fri/ Sat, brunch on Sunday. What’s not to love!“

“Looking for a place to enjoy a beer on a nice fall day, we stopped by Black Hoof. The first thing I noticed was Pilsner and Krolch and not a bunch of flavored beer. After a taste test, we got one of each and sat out back at the picnic table. Great service and good beer without hints of flavor that doesn't belong in beer!“

“I love the tea, the staff is great. They have some really good varieties of teas. They always have samples out so you can try the tea. They are pricey but I think that's because of the way that they source things, plus they also use really nice cups and packaging. The furniture in there is beautiful. I think the whole thing is a very nice experience. They also do tastings, which is a good activity for a few people to do together.“

“Took my boys there for the first time today and everything was absolutely delicious - two Deniros and a meatball & cheese sub. I highly recommend it. This is certainly a place we will frequent.“

“if you're visiting the historic town of Brunswick, then the Potomac Street Grill should be on your list. They have a robust menu that will suit anyone from vegetarians to carnivores. They have a great bar and friendly staff. If I'm ever visiting again, I will surely return.“

“A delightful vineyard in a magical setting - complimented by knowledgeable staff and an impressive array of wines… My wife and I visited with a group and had a wonderful time! PJ and her husband John have created a place which must be visited to appreciate the beauty they have created in the rolling hills of the Three Creek Winery! Their whites, rose, and reds are indeed unique and delicious!“

“Fantastic rum... my FAVORITE by far! Highly recommend!!!!“

“Looking for a great breakfast / lunch / dinner spot? Look no frother than the Purcellville Pub. Driving through the area around lunch time and saw a review about the Fish & Chips and had to stop and verify. And no doubt - great crispy Fish & Chips. 2 large filets with basket of fries. I was really, really good. We also tried the Barrel Burger and the BBQ sauce with crispy bacon and fried onions was very good as well. We left full bummed it’s a location we might only get to once. So glad we did.“

“Best pizza I’ve had in a long time!!! We also had boneless wings, and they were great also!!!! Highly recommend!!! We need you to open a place in Martinsburg!!“

“Hands down the Best pizza in Virginia! Said is a great host and Chef and he personally looks after every customer as his guest. Wonderful experience. Five + stars.“

“Order 6 cookies for delivery and one of the cookies I recieved was wrong, got the pink cookie instead of chocolate chip. Not that big of a deal except the chocolate chip is the only one of my family member will eat. Also every time I ask this location to add a special note it never gets done. Tried contacting support, but it didnt work. Next time I guess ill save the extra $5 delivery fee and go in myself so I can verify I got what I paid for.“

“Long post ahead, warning! I walked in around 9 pm and the hostess didn't bat an eye at my dining alone, and didn't say anything about it, which I appreciate. I was seated right away with no problems and immediately got a chance to look over the menu. I will admit, it took a little bit longer than expected for my waiter to come over, but as a lone diner I sort of expected that. I looked like I was waiting for someone, I'm sure. The look and feel of the place was very upscale, but they didn't have any problems with me walking in wearing a nerdy t-shirt. I was seated in this cute little booth for 2 with curtains on the side so, if I wanted a more private dinner, I could have it. It was a cute touch! The restaurant also offered patio dining and since it's by the creek, that would have been a downright charming experience were it not the usual Maryland summer. Despite having a bar, the restaurant was respectably quiet and low-key, making it an easy dining experience. I wasn't in the mood for something wild, and this place really hit the nail on the head. My first waiter Kevin, however, was the picture of polite helpfulness. He answered all of my questions, made some wonderful suggestions, and was incredibly pleasant to talk to. I was delighted to find out that this place takes part in DC restaurant week, so I was able to take part in that promotion. Under a suggestion from Kevin, I ordered a glass of their moscato (I wanted something light and sweet), and the wine was so good I brought home a whole bottle. Not really on them, but it does reflect their excellent selection. Dinner itself was delicious. The red pepper soup was refreshing and flavorful, without being too filling. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and was flavored in the perfect way to make the actual flavor of the meat shine. The potatoes were both light and fluffy, but also had the little chunks of potato that I prefer in my mashed. The best part was desert. About halfway through my appetizer, Kevin introduced my other waiter, Maddy, who took over after he went home. She was as much of a delight as he was, and made possibly the best recommendation of the night. Desert was this blackberry tart that I did not have room for but could not put down. Gooey and crumbly all at once, with a warm center that was almost caramel-y even though it was fruit based. Topped with a light cream to balance it all out, it was absolutely delicious. I will be thinking of that tart all day tomorrow. The prices on the menu were a little high, but I wouldn't go so far to say they were unreasonable. If I had wanted a cheaper option, I could have gone to any chain restaurant ever. In the grand scheme of downtown Frederick, with it's many small businesses and one of a kind dining experiences, I think this was reasonable. For reference, a lot of meals were between $20 and $30, but a good steak is almost always $30+. Despite the price, I had an exceptional dining experience, and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for upscale dining, without the upscale requirements.“

“I went today for a Galentine’s lunch, and it was such a great experience. Parking was easy and accessible, and the restaurant is tucked into the cutest little shopping center. I’d never been there before, so this was my first visit. When we arrived for our 12pm reservation, we were seated right away, even though our full party hadn’t arrived yet. which was really nice. We were able to grab a drink while we waited. The ambience is adorable and quiet, so you can actually hold a conversation. The seating was comfortable, too.
We did the Sunday brunch buffet option and everything was super good definitely good quality food. The only thing I would’ve loved is some sort of crackers with the charcuterie options (unless I missed it) and it’s so minor but honestly, that was my only note. Everything across the board was delicious. Our waiter was also fantastic: super attentive, kept our water refilled, refreshed our drinks, made sure we had everything we needed, and gave good drink recommendations. I had a mimosa and it was really well-proportioned and super tasty.

I’d definitely recommend it and I would absolutely return.“

“Delicious pizza Always on time and the pizza is always fresh“

“This winery is great if you are looking for a good wine and peaceful place. It’s small but it has a great atmosphere. Their wines are excellent! I love their wine and chocolate praline tasting. We like this place for birthday parties as well as it’s usually not too crowded. Their outdoor is large with many places to sit. The indoor is small with just few tables. But as I mentioned, most of their members typically pick up their wines to go so it’s never an issue to find a spot to sit. The only negative thing I can say is that my kids don’t love going there because it’s not much to do for them, and the parking lot could use a bit of love. But we are members for about 6+ years and we truly like their wines. My family makes wines in Slovakia and I took them there as well and they enjoyed their wines a lot as well!“

“I've been eating their tacos for years from their ghost kitchen location in Chefscape, and I'm so excited they have their own place now! The food easily held up to my rosy memories from the old location, and the drinks are a wonderful addition!“

“Definitely try the Milky Way sundae“

“We were driving by and just happen to see it. Decided to turn around and give them a shot. Place was clean, staff was professional and to this coffee addict, the coffee was a 10!! Will definitely be back!“

“We are regulars at Andy’s. I’m disappointed they removed a lot of their vegetarian items from the menu, which leaves me with fewer choices, but the food is consistently good and we adore Patty!“

“Absolutely the best restaurant around! A great menu and excellent service!!!“

“Old 690 is definitely hard to find, but most definitely harder to leave! Great everything! Beer, food, friendly staff, ambiance, easy going atmosphere, you name it! We don't get there often enough since we live 90 minutes away but everyone go! You'll be glad you did. Looking forward to Wicked Old Lady Pumpkin Beer like we do every fall!“

“Great hard apple cider! Great pretzel’s!“

“Absolutely fantastic food. The entire meal was an experience and one that I will not forget. Chef Jason personally checks in with every table throughout the dinner service.“

“Fun, comfortable place to stop in for a tasting with their knowledgable staff -- try everything, even if you don't think you like whiskey or gin. Everything is very drinkable (especially the Honey Hot Whiskey) and we always end up bringing a few bottles home.“

“Love their gluten free pizza! The best I have tasted! Delicious pie, can’t wait to go back!“

“The food and environment were spectacular! Definitely coming back for the cocoa.“

“We visited because they were part of the Loudoun Heights Holiday Ornament Trail * stop 5 for us! Saturday they were also hosting The Charles Washington Symphony so they were VERY busy! The Symphony required reservations, which we did not have, though we were lucky to get 2 seats by a barrel table.
Staff at the front counter were friendly. Wines were nice. I liked the way the flight was served!
Tasting room is pretty large and there is a lot of outdoor space as well.
We hope to stop back again
What we tasted:
2025 Gold Medal Ornament Flight
*note descriptions below are from the winery tasting notes
2023 Chardonnay: Aged sur lie for 21 months in French and American oak. The palate brings cozy notes of baked apple, vanilla, and gentle spice, all lifted by delicate minerality. Elegant and inviting.

2022 Thomas Great: This Bordeaux blend of 50% Cabernet Franc, 35% Petit Verdot, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon brings classic varietals together Aged 3 years in Oak and 18 months in bottle, it's powerful yet refined. Aromas of dark plum black cherry, and violet mingle with mocha, cedar, and a touch of herb. Petit Verdot adds depth while Cabernet Franc brings bright spice. Full-bodied and balanced. it finishes with smooth tannins, dark fruit, and toasted oak

2022 Petite Verdot: Award-winning Petit Verdot was aged 24 months in barrel and finished in bottle This dark rubv-crimson Petit Verdot is ready to join the holiday party. Think aromas of cigar box, worn leather, and a hint of cozy fireplace smoke- Bold dark fruit and confident tannins lead to a long cheerful finish

2023 Piebald White:
Named for the rare piebald deer that once roamed the woods behind the winery. The blend artfully combines Chardonnay, Vidal Blanc, and White Petit Verdot to create an expressive wine with hints of floral spice, subtie oak, and a bright finish. The label has a hand drawn piebald deer

My rating rationale for beer, wine, or spirits:
+1 Service
+1 Atmosphere/Vibe
+1 Taste/Quality (Flavor, aroma, and overall quality of the beverage)
+1 Presentation (Glassware, garnishes, and visual appeal of the drinks)
+1 Selection/Variety (Range of beer, wine, or spirit options and uniqueness of offerings)“

“I recently celebrated my birthday at The Barns at Hamilton Station Vineyards, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I reached out to Susan, their coordinator, I knew we were in great hands. She was incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating—especially considering we had a large group.

The vineyard itself was beautiful and welcoming. We had such a great time enjoying the delicious wines—each one we tried was truly tasty and well-crafted. The charcuterie baskets were a hit too: generous portions, beautifully arranged, and full of flavor.

To top it all off, there was live music by Chris, which created the perfect atmosphere for a fun and relaxed afternoon. The entire team was so warm and friendly, and they made the experience feel special from start to finish.

My friends and I are already talking about coming back again soon. Highly recommend The Barns at Hamilton Station for any special occasion—or just a great day out!“

“Lauren is the absolute Best!!! Kind, down to earth, and knowledgeable. Get in her line if you can!“

“The best! They get their salmon fresh everyday and you can tell. Watch the sushi chefs - 6 guys behind the bar working constantly when they are busy. All of their food tastes so fresh and tasty. And their cocktails are delicious! Staff is generally super fast. I eat a lot of sushi and this is by far my favorite place!“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“Nice place to grab a beer after work. Good environment, friendly staff, good beer and snacks!“

“First visit today. Lovely venue. Nice wine and food. Kids and pets…witnessed a couple with 3 dogs who had no control over them. One pet fight with another dog guest. Then witnessed a small child having her hand bitten by one of the dogs. I hope the owners of the winery have sufficient insurance to allow anyone…especially children and babies, and dogs to enjoy the venue. Great to be family and pet friendly…but is that a wise business decision? Not sure that alcohol, children and pets are a wise and safe business practice…what happened to baby and pet sitters for an afternoon out?“

“Had a fabulous time here today! Excellent wine selection and the staff was amazing! Elizabeth was so sweet and the gentleman bartender whom is a high school history teacher (didn’t get his name) was great as well! We found our new favorite winery! Stunning views!!! Absolutely breathtaking!“

“Great venue and wonderful owners who are dedicate to a welcoming community space.“

“We LOVE Brusters ice cream , but this location has been screwing up our order the past few times. The employees also aren’t as friendly as they used to be. I assume it goes hand in hand.“

“Great wine. Excellent service and atmosphere. 🍷😁🍷“

“Barnhouse Brewery is run by hands down the best people in the business. Not only are the drinks great, but the owners have made their brewery into one of the most underrated in Loudoun. If you're looking for a place to hang out that is beautiful, peaceful, and just refreshing, with great beer & people, I can't recommend Barnhouse more. It can't be beat. There's nowhere else like it. My husband and I even had our wedding reception there, and the owners are so generous, professional, and made sure that every single plan went off without a hitch. Every single one of our guests loved it there just as much as we did. Please give Barnhouse a shot!“
