I've had several positive experiences here. Highly recommend!…read more The food is great. There are hearty German faves like bratwurst, schnitzel, pierogi, and potato salad, as well as seasonal specials, tasty desserts, and refreshing beers (plus soft drinks, wine, and a full bar). It's a very cozy and inviting atmosphere. The staff are professional, caring, and friendly. We recently had a small private party and they were super helpful and accommodating. I definitely recommend stopping by for a drink and dinner!!

I grew up with a first generation German Great-grandmother and the Bierock and the Schnitzel were on point. My compliments to the chef. We came during the week so the Biergarten was not open, due to limited staff, but all the biers were available. The place is small but can support a couple of large groups inside (6-8people). They were half full and the noise was quite low. If you are in Fredericksburg,VA and want German food you will not be disappointed. Come and enjoy. They would have made my Great-grandmother proud.

My family and I have always enjoyed dining at BJ's Brewhouse. The atmosphere is welcoming, the…read morestaff is friendly, and the service has consistently been excellent. Because we visit regularly, I wanted to share some constructive feedback about our recent experiences. While the food has often been very good, lately it seems that consistency has become an issue. During our most recent visit, I ordered the Chicken Alfredo. When it arrived, the sauce had an orange tint rather than the usual creamy Alfredo appearance. After taking a few bites, it tasted much more like macaroni and cheese than Alfredo. I mentioned this to our server, who was kind and professional, but he assured me that it was the Alfredo sauce and explained that the mac and cheese sauce is packaged separately. As someone who frequently orders both Alfredo and mac and cheese, I felt confident that what I received did not taste like a traditional Alfredo sauce. While this experience was disappointing, I want to emphasize that our server handled the situation courteously, and we still left a good tip because the service was not the issue. I am sharing this feedback because my family enjoys coming to BJ's and would like to see the food quality and consistency match the high standard of service that keeps us returning. I hope this feedback is helpful and that future visits will reflect the quality we have come to expect.

BLUF: it's what you'd expect from a chain restaurant with a large menu. Good but not great…read more Four of us went for dinner before a concert at Jiffy Lube. We ordered the steak dinner, avocado egg roll appetizer, and wings. The steak came out well done even though we'd asked for medium rare. The vegetables that came with it were overcooked and a bit too mushy. The flavor was okay. The avocado appetizer was a bit bland, but it was also very mushy. It needed something inside it texturally to add some element of chewiness to it. The dipping sauce that came with it did help with the flavor quite a bit. The wings were well cooked, not too crispy and not dried out. They actually must have come right out of the fryer because they were incredibly hot when I got them, and the waiter did warn me about that. I had them with the dry rub which was quite flavorful. The service was okay. I think we waited a bit too long for the appetizer to come out and to have water refilled. The server himself was friendly. I would recommend making a reservation if you're going on a weekend. I was very surprised how crowded it was and there was a line waiting to get a table the entire time we were there.

Getting ready for Oktoberfest? This is the spot to stock up on brats and beer!…read more If you're looking for authentic German ingredients for a meal, German Gourmet Deli won't disappoint. They've got an excellent selection of brats and sausages, salamis, cheeses, pierogis, German novelty items, chocolates, and--of course--wine! The only downside? Not all staff seem familiar with German specialty foods. I actually asked about pierogis and was told they didn't know what they were... until I stumbled across them in the freezer myself. ‍ and BTW... the potato onion had a nice pepper flavoring. Still, the variety and authenticity make it worth the trip--just be prepared to browse and discover some gems on your own. Perfect for all your Oktoberfest cravings!

If you're thinking of going to Bronson Bierhall, read this first…read more I got kicked out Friday night for absolutely no reason. I was in the patio with friends, in the corner, not bothering anyone -- not fighting, not yelling, not approaching strangers. Security walked up, said there was "a complaint," refused to say who it was from, refused to say what it was about, refused to let me talk to the manager, and refused to even let me back inside to grab my own card. My friends asked him to stop. He ignored them. This is the second time their security has unfairly targeted me. The first time I had just stepped outside to take a phone call. The same guard ran after me and started accusing me of stealing -- but couldn't say what was supposedly stolen or who had complained, because nobody actually had. I told him my laptop and jacket were inside at the bar and that all the bartenders know me. He eventually apologized once it became obvious he had nothing. Same guy, same pattern, different night. Also worth knowing: my friend and I had just ordered around $100 in food and drinks at the end. Nothing finished. No refund offered, no apology, no manager. If management thinks letting one guard humiliate paying customers in front of their friends is good for business, here's your feedback. Plenty of better pubs in Arlington that actually respect the people

The mac & cheese also left something to be desired. Sort of seemed like Velveeta cheese poured over the top. Just not enough flavor for a Southern girl.

Luckily, I don't have to drive to Philadelphia to get my hot pretzels. I go right over to The Pretzel Bakery in Cabin John Shopping Center. So, when I get a craving for a delicious hot pretzel I just stop by the bakery. I walked in and was greeted right away. The lady who helped me was so nice. She was just finishing up with a customer and she told me it would just be a minute. She was right...she took my order and in 2 minutes I was out the door with my hot pretzel and mustard. It was soft, pillowy, and full of flavor. The Pretzel Bakery is a small bakery, but has counter seats available at the window incase you want to enjoy your pretzel there. It is a lovely little bakery and I am thrilled to have them close by. Thank you Pretzel Bakery.
