We decided to try this place out after spending some time at Great country farms. It is literally a…read more2 minute drive to Dirt farm Brewing. There is plenty of parking and many areas to sit down. Tip - call ahead and reserve an outdoor seat in the shade as it can get very hot up there and many of the tables do not have umbrellas. If a manager is a reason this - I think it would be very useful to add additional umbrellas to the lower decks so that patrons will stay longer. It just gets way too hot sitting by an uncovered table. It's "self service" and you order at the counter and pick up your food. They have many options for beers. I think the only non- alcoholic option was cokes. We ordered the cheese pizza which was fine. I mean you don't really come here for the food- it's more about the view , vibe and drinks. Although they did have a great food truck the day we went that sold smash burgers and fries which was really nice. The bathrooms are clean - although one of the soap dispensers and taps were not working. Also- they ran out of paper towels to dry your hands. I think it was just very busy when we went. I did appreciate that they had a stool in the bathrooms for younger kids - which is very helpful. I did see many patrons brought their dogs which is quite nice that you can enjoy some drinks and food with your furry friends. My kids just loved it there. They could run around on the grass and roll down the hills. Like I said - it's just such a great vibe. They also had a band playing which was really nice. I also noticed a little craft market / vintage market next to the restaurant as well. If you are in the area and want some grown up drinks and a vibe - go check this place out.

No not the caliber of players, no not the music genre... it's the volume! Three times we've been with friends and the volume inside is almost an assault on the ears (.. and my wife says I'm hard of hearing!). We love, love, love live music. Local artists? Incredible! But, for the volume of the music to become the focus of the day, you'd best be The Rolling Stones! We may have come out to hear someone play, but most importantly we've visited to share good times with our friends, catch up, and laugh. The music should bring ambiance, NOT be the focus - for us its kinship, beer and socializing, which we cannot do with the volume of the music so loud. We will continued to visit Old 690 but will stay away if they have entertainment indoors.

What a cute little place... and LOVE the owners!…read more We were recently in the area for a drive to look at the fall foliage and discovered this little spot, which we heard was pretty popular with the locals. We definitely understand the appeal, as the food was good, the drinks were good, and the staff were great. We likely ordered too much fried food while there (and it all tasted great), but next time I might substitute some of the fried fare with a salad. But our eyes were drawn to the other tables around us where patrons were chomping on fried pickles (yum), French fries (tasty enough), and onion rings (outstanding). My only recommendations to the owners would be to stick a few more healthy items. Before I close out, I must send another shout out to the owners (a husband and wife team who were staffing the place the day we visited). They are awesome!! I loved the conversations with them and would return to Horseshoe just for drinks and a chuckle... and the onion rings! Final thoughts = check this place out if nearby, but be sure to balance the fried food with a salad.

An Unforgettable 50th Birthday Celebration at Bluemont Winery!…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Bluemont Winery! I recently celebrated my 50th birthday there, and Staci Collins and her incredible events team went above and beyond to make the occasion truly special. From beginning to end, Staci and her team were warm, kind, attentive, and incredibly professional. Their hospitality was exceptional. They didn't simply host an event--they made me and my guests feel genuinely welcomed, celebrated, and cared for. Every detail and thoughtful gesture helped make this milestone birthday one I will always remember. A very special thank you to the chef as well! The braised ribs were absolutely outstanding--so flavorful and incredibly tender that you could literally cut them with a fork. My guests and I are still talking about how delicious the food was! The beautiful setting, wonderful food, and exceptional service were all impressive, but it was the people who truly made the experience memorable. Staci, her events team, the chef, and the entire crew helped turn my 50th birthday into such a beautiful celebration. Thank you, Staci Collins and the entire Bluemont Winery team, for your kindness, professionalism, hospitality, and for going out of your way to make both me and my guests feel so special. You helped create memories that I will treasure for years to come. Five stars simply aren't enough!

I visited Bluemont Vineyard this past Saturday with two friends I don't get to see very often, and…read morewe had a great time. Northern Virginia has a lot of winery options, but Bluemont offers a few things that make it special. First of all, it's huge - tons of indoor and outdoor seating on two levels. They take reservations. We made for one for noon on Saturday. We were seated upstairs/indoors but eventually moved to their upstairs deck (we were there for hours and wanted a change of scenery). Their views are incredible. You can see the Blue Ridge Mountains from practically anywhere on the property! I hadn't seen my friends in months, so we stayed for almost five hours. We started with their white wine flight, and then we had a few bottles, too. We also ate (beef empanadas, a flatbread, and some black bean hummus). We enjoyed most of the wines (between the flights and bottles, I think we tried 6 whites and 1 rose), and the food was pretty good, too. The service was great - Lily and Rose were our servers (there was a shift switch, since we were there for almost 5 hours) and they were wonderful. They were a little busy downstairs when we arrived, but it's such a large space that there was plenty of seating for more. (It seems to be a spot on wine tours, because there were a few buses when we arrived.) I'm not sure if you really need a reservation, but I'm glad we had one since our plan was to eat lunch at the winery. We had a great time at the winery. But the highlight of Bluemont Vineyard is the property itself - the views, the space, and outdoor dining!

I haven't been there for dinner in about a year or so, but used to be a frequent customer in years past. The food now is sub-par and has little to no flavor. The expansive menu we once knew has been trimmed down into banal meals every other place in town serves. The portions are weak and to be quite honest, the quality of the dining experience as a whole was underwhelming. Old favorites like the fried green tomatoes just don't hit the same anymore. The crab cakes I added to my caesar salad tasted like they had been fried in oil that had been sitting for days. The salad itself wasn't anything to write home about either, I received a salad on the same level as something you'd get from Apple Bees. Parmesan Truffle French fries were soggy and sodden with that same acrid oil I mentioned before. The list goes on, but I'm going to stop here. We did end up asking if there was a manager around to voice our concerns to, but the waitress said she didn't know where the manage was. Interesting. We paid and left, never to return. I'm not trying to be harsh here, I am actually very disappointed to see this happen to a place that once was a local gem, maybe it's a sign of the times. It's alarming how restaurants are operating on this level and still getting customers. But you don't have to take my word for it, go find out yourself! **Just before I posted this I saw they have a new owner and chef...
