“We had our food delivered for a wedding and it was fantastic! The lobster grilled cheese was especially popular!

The staff came and set everything up as bite sized sandwiches along with tomato soup! Everything was delicious and the added watermelon was a pleasant surprise. I would recommend going with Purceville Eats as a caterer or just for a quick bite!“

“Their dedication to quality and service makes every visit a memorable one!“

“Delicious“

“Walked in and seated at the bar. I look up and see all of this allocated bourbon. I see they have chicken fried steak (my favorite). I of course order that and it surpassed all my expectations. The biscuit was nice and fluffy, the chicken fried steak was made to perfection, throw on top of that the sausage gravy and I was in literal heaven. The service is some of the best I have ever had. If you have not tried Buford’s biscuits you need to!!! I can almost guarantee everything on the menu is amazing!!“

“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. 😌“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“We had lunch there yesterday so it was relatively quiet and very relaxing. Our server was very friendly and attentive and did not rush us. I had the mushroom soup which was incredibly delicious (and likely the best I've ever had), and then I had the Spring Risotto which was also fresh and delicious. My Mom had a cheeseburger which she said was very good and our friend had the meatloaf. He said the meatloaf was wonderful but he too loved the mushroom soup the best. Soooo good.“

“Came in on Wednesday with my husband and had a wonderful experience with Michi, Robin, and Maurice! They truly went above and beyond to answer our questions and make recommendations. They were all so kind and we were really happy to have had such a lovely interaction with them. Michi, Robin, and Maurice truly embody the positive and fun spirit that I associate with the Crumbl company. Amazing cookies, but even more pleased with just how top notch the customer service was at this location!“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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)“

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

“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!!“

“Good food as always. Our server Jordan was perfect!“

“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.“

“A must Excellent breakfast today, staff friendly, menu delectable, best Americano I've ever had!“

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