They were busy but our wait was not long at all. The staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. The prime rib was amazing and the crab cakes were spectacular. read more

Such a quaint little restaurant nestled right by Kerr Lake. The staff were super friendly and hospitable and gave us the needed attention our table needed. The menu itself has a decent amount of selection so depending on what you're in the mood for you should be able to find something. Portion size is decent for the price point. The food itself was really good, honestly zero complaints. Great place, I'm sure we'd come back if/when we're back in the area. read more

Bridgewater exceeds expectations in all areas, food, service and quality. We are here on a busy Friday night and they did an amazing job. Everything came out on time and the quality was exceptional. I love coming here for a solid affordable night out. If you are in clarksville and want a place where you can come casual or dressed up then this place checks all the boxes. read more

Mona and I have lived in Clarksville, VA for almost 20 years, and during that time we've been frequent visitors to the Bridgewater Bar and Grill--typically 3 to 5 times a week. We love our community and do our best to support local businesses. We have often wondered, however, why we rarely see other locals in this restaurant. The food is acceptable--maybe a "B" at best--while the prices are relatively high. Unfortunately, this past Saturday night, June 6th, was the last time we will visit the Bridgewater. Mona ordered a gin and tonic, a drink she chooses about half the time we go out. When it arrived, she took a couple of sips and immediately said it didn't taste right. Since Mona rarely complains, I knew something was off. We suspected the tonic water might have gone bad or that the bartender used the wrong mixer, such as club soda instead of tonic water. I called our server over, and Mona asked whether gin or vodka had been used, as the drink didn't taste like her usual gin and tonic. The server went to the bar to check if something might be wrong with the tonic. A few minutes later, she returned and said they were told nothing was wrong; the staff claimed they didn't see or taste any issue. Mona reiterated that it didn't taste right and asked to return it in exchange for a margarita--another drink she frequently enjoys there. About 15 minutes later, the server brought a margarita in a tall glass with no salt on the rim. Though it wasn't made the way she normally receives it, Mona made the best of it. We then continued with our dinner. After the meal, I paid the bill and noticed we had been charged for both the margarita and the returned gin and tonic. When I asked the server, she said the manager told her the original drink seemed fine and they would not issue a credit. Surprised by this, I spoke directly with the manager/co-owner. I explained the situation, but she was immediately confrontational. She said she had personally tasted the drink and found nothing wrong with it. I responded with something along the lines of, "So, for a $9 drink, you're willing to risk losing a frequent and loyal customer?" She quickly replied, "I won't be threatened." As a fellow business owner, I was stunned. In my experience, customer satisfaction is important, and we do what is reasonable to keep our customers happy. I estimate the cost of making that drink(gin, tonic, and a piece of lime) was under $2, despite the $9 price. Hoping to calm the situation, I clarified that I wasn't threatening her, but simply couldn't understand why they would risk losing a regular customer over a $9 drink. At that point, she began yelling that I had touched her. I honestly don't remember touching her, but if I did, it was nothing more than a brief, friendly touch on the shoulder. She was completely agitated, and there was nothing more I could do. I apologized, returned to the table, got Mona, and we left. Like most people, we go out to relax, enjoy a drink, and have a nice meal--not to be mistreated by a restaurant owner. Sadly, this entire situation occurred over a single $9 drink. We can only imagine what might happen if we ever had to complain about a poorly cooked hamburger or steak. We won't be going back to find out. read more

Came in on a Sunday morning at opening time. Friendly staff. Super clean. Ordered the prime rib special. Delicious. Should have taken a picture. Blue cheese dressing is great. Prime rib cooked to perfection. Will be back. read more

We boated in from the lake. You can dock boats down the hill by the hotel and walk across to grab a bite. I saw people dressed in all types of ways. We were in fishing gear. Service was absolutely wonderful. Our waitress was so sweet and all the others seemed to be as well with their tables. The lady at the front desk seating people was also very welcoming. Restaurant was very clean, even the bathrooms. I ordered the prime rib and my husband ordered the ribeye. Both were delicious. Sweet tea was perfect to us. We added salads and they are gracious with their servings. House made ranch. Can't wait to go back when we're around this area again. read more

My friend has been here a bunch of times, posting pictures of massive cheeseburgers on his Facebook feed. When I stopped by to visit his family, we came here for lunch and of course, I had a massive cheeseburger. The bacon and pimento burger was fabulous. They'll only cook medium well and well done which is a bit of a bummer but it was still tasty despite being overdone for my taste. Loaded with bacon and pimento cheese, I managed to keep it intact for about two thirds before it collapsed. Fries were nice and crisp. This was a lovely meal and our service on a Sunday afternoon was excellent. I would return to Bridgewater, I just might choose the pasta next time.

The Bridgewater Bar & Grill is no "Best Kept Secret" of Clarksville VA, this family run restaurant seems to be the most noted reliable thing in town and the only place to eat and drink on a Sunday evening. Walking into the dining room there's a slight buzz in the air maybe from a sports game on a TV at the bar, but it's never too loud to drown out friendly local's banter. The environment is enjoyable, the service casual, like you're being taken care of by a neighbor rather than a server, and the drinks served with a smile. Whether your liking a salad or one of the many entrees, be prepared for a MEAL, the very generous portions are there to satisfy any size appetite. They offer a wonderful Caesar salad, coated in a dressing that comes with a hint of lemon in place of that repulsive anchovy. The mammoth French Dip is simple, just as it should be, a quality restaurant allows the meat and au jus to speak for themselves. Good food, familiar faces, and an atmosphere that's equal parts laid-back and full of life, Cheers! read more

Ate lunch here Saturday with family and friends. My husband got the lunch portion meat loaf with sides. It was delicious! I got the shaved prime rib sandwich dip. It was juicy and delicious! The horse radish and ajou dip were made perfect! Fries were great. I could only eat half of my sandwich. My friend got a huge burger and he said it was delicious. The waitress was nice and attentive. It took a while to get our food but it was worth it! Can't wait to go back! The restaurant was clean and decorated pretty! read more

Whenever we visit that region of Virginia, we do dinner @ Bridgewater.. Early bird dinner... and as always, the food is great, the staff always goes above and beyond, the atmosphere is nice, prices are great..... I love the fried catfish platter or the Crusted Prime Rib dinner AND the home made Ranch salad dressing is great too. read more

Good food, good service, nice atmosphere! We have visited Bridgewater several times and we have always been happy with the service and with the staff. there was one time where there were so many people there just took so long and that was frustrating but besides that all is good the food the service the restaurant is very clean and will be back. read more

I had chicken tendees. Food came quik.Waitress was ok Kinda cold in there, is a nice place tho read more

I just left maybe about 90 min -2 hours ago. I walked in. Hostess was nice and seated me in a booth. The table was dirty. Whoever was there before me was a pig. The entire table had salt and pepper all over it. A straw wrapper with what looked like a butter pat wrapper was still on the table. Two napkins under my table, on the floor. I brushed off the entire table. I ordered a cup of corn and crab chowder. It came in a large bowl. I ate all of it. It was better than most others I've had. I asked my waitress (who was very attentive), if the shrimp and grits were ready this Early, as on the menu, it said available after 4pm. She said on Sundays it's ready all day. Great, I told her, I'll have that. Again she was attentive. Came back and asked how was my chowder, I told her it was good. She asked if I needed another Ginger Ale and I told her I was good to go. My shrimp and cheesey grits with bacon came out in a huge bowl. It was massive! I was ready to dig in. First bite was a shrimp. It was good. I tasted the sauce with bacon and it so super super salty. I tried to get some grits on my spoon with no bacon. It was hard to do. Bacon everywhere. It was too much and way too Salty. I did try to keep eating it. If there was less bacon and salt I'd have loved it. My waitress came by and asked me about it and did I need a Togo box. I told her the same. To much bacon and way Salty. She stayed very happy and professional. She asked if I'd like dessert and listed all desserts. I chose Banana Cream Pudding. It's one of my faves. This one didn't hit the mark. Maybe, (I'm not sure) but it may have been pre-made and frozen then whipped cream when serving it. It was messy. One more note to mention is...Please wash your windows. I'm sure by the river they get cruddy quickly but it wasn't pleasant to look at. Please take these remarks and work with them instead of responding to my review the way you have responded to others. Thanks for today Your Hostess and waitress were lovely girls. read more

Bridgewater Bar & Grill - Salmon, meatloaf, and steak samples!!!! - American Near Me - Clarksville, Virginia

I visited on a Sunday and the parking lot was full. There was a lot of seating inside and I had no trouble getting a seat at the bar (I wanted to watch football). I ordered the dinner portion of meatloaf and it came with real garlic mashed potatoes (not instant) and green beans which were the vegetable of the day. I'm picky about meatloaf and am sometimes apprehensive about ordering it, never knowing what you're going to get. This place seemed legit, so I gave it a shot. I'm so glad I did. It was wonderful and the gravy was amazing and could probably be sold. I tried the banana pudding, and was less impressed as it was mostly whipped cream. It was fine, I just feel it was very forgettable (not great or bad enough to remember). Service is outstanding and prices are fair. Give this place a shot while you're passing through! read more

Good was great! No need to add any salt or pepper! Full of flavor!! Parking is tough! So be careful!! read more

Cute modern place, but parking is hard to find. After eating there, I can understand why. The food absolutely slaps. My boyfriend and I ordered the crab dip to start us off, and it was great! Cheesy, flavorful, and the tortilla chips were fresh and salted. As for our drinks, I got their moscow mule, and my boyfriend got one of their beers. Both were tasty. As for our entrees, I got the New Orleans blackened catfish, and he got tank's pimento burger. The catfish was so tender, it was like butter. The sauce was also great, and all of the vegetables just added flavor on top of it. Shrimp were cooked well. As for the mashed potatoes, I was a little worried it might not all work together, but I wouldn't change a thing after having eaten it. They were buttery, cheesy, and seasoned well. It all worked together in a wonderful melody of flavors, and I can see myself eating this again. My boyfriend didn't eat his burger til the next day, but it was great according to him. They have some of the best fries too, salty and crisp, and a good cut to them as well. They're not too thin or too thick, which I appreciated. The service was also good too, they were pretty on top of things. Will 100% come back another time I'm in the area. read more

Yummy food. Service was great. Meatloaf is made with beef and pork. I had the fish tacos which was yummy but something about the coleslaw seasoning I wasn't crazy about. The grilled veggies was good. Mac and cheese was good, the noodles were very big. I think it needed more cheddar it in as it really lacked a yellow cheese. I would return. read more

Ww stopped in on our way home from Buggs Island. We were super impressed with the amazing service and the food was delicious and fresh. I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was grilled perfectly. Not dry at all which is a huge win! I also loved the pico mayo! I may steal that one soon! My hubby got the Yeti Burger and he was happy with his choice too. Definitely stop in for a good meal and service! Worth the trip there! read more

Excellent experience. Staff is amazing. Good variety on menu. Food good. Looking forward to coming back

Was on the search for something hearty before we got to the Blue Ridge Rock Festival and camped out for the following five days. Fortunately, we came across Bridgewater! The food here was SO good. Being a Baltimore girl, I always go for the crab cake and tend to complain about me not feeling full after eating it, having too much extra filing inside or there being annoying shell pieces. Not the case here. I'd highly recommended the crab cake sandwich. My boyfriend ordered the chicken salad sandwich and it was such a large portion that he couldn't finish it! Both were great. Also, the parking lot and surrounding area was safe for our jam-packed truck bed of camping supplies to sit out in the open. No one messed with it--respectful little neighborhood! read more

Very good quality food. Good service. Atmosphere is comfortable, not fancy, but still very comfortable.

Service was great, food excellent. I would highly recommend their ribeye steak sandwich! Real ribeye.

The food was amazing everything was delicious and the service was great will come again the ambiance was great too would come again. read more

Drove to Clarksville from South Boston today and stopped here based on Yelp reviews and a few pics. Got the Pimento burger and tater tots. Asked for the burger medium. It comes with homemade pimento spread plus jalapeños braised in honey and beer. Burger was juicy and done properly, spread was tasty and loved the jalapeño. Tots were crispy. Wife got shrimp poor boy which she says she enjoyed. Daughter got chicken sandwich. Service was decent. FYI...Added meal tax and fee for credit card. read more

Clean welcoming environment. The bar area is nice with 8 stools available for walk ins. No draft beer as the taps were broken and most bottled varieties start with Bud, Miller, and Coors; not my line of beers. The service was a bit slow and 20% 'gratuity' was added to our bill. The food was excellent and good sized portions. read more

The two kids and I took the grandparents out for a Sunday afternoon supper. We didn't have any issues with parking and were seated immediately. Interior decor was modern and clean. There were lots of staff zipping around looking for opportunities to serve customers. The food was amazing! We had the crab and artichoke dip, Rueben, chicken tenders, crab cakes, and burgers. Nice portions and taste was great. read more

Only restaurant in Clarksville that charges a "Clarksville tax" Service is hit or miss Update: Actually that may be true but The pizza pub, McDonald's and the Mexican restaurant do NOT add it to your bill. Been to all in this last week and will post receipts to show shortly. read more

This is the best place to eat in Clarksville VA. There is a nice variety in the menu. I have eaten here multiple times. I have tried salads, burgers, and sandwiches. All very good. My husband prefers the meat loaf and enjoys it every time. Beyond the food, they have a full bar. Great cocktails and micro brews. Finally, the service is fantastic. Enjoy!!! read more

I do not believe the food is cooked to order. Prime rib was ordered med rare, was well done no pink both times (sent it back). Leads me to believe it had been pre cooked somewhere and heated up. Cocktail, sauce and drinks were watered down. I won't go back. Spent 175.00 dollars (tip included). manager tried to comp me desert, but I'm not in to deserts. service was was good. pretty good, typical. read more

Is this the swankiest place in town!?! Very nice! Great food. Looks always busy, i know why now......pretty good food in a nice environment. Fish tacos, ok. Not great. But i ate them. Went back another day, had the yeti burger. Really good. Buttttt then i tasted the BFs pimento burger, that was DA BOMB! Heard the crab cakes at my table were FAB. Mashed potatoes great. Salmon, yummy. Catfish plate, omg that look delish! And they said it was great too! Keep up the great work team! read more

So my second review after a couple months. I've had their food several times but someone needs to say it, every bar and grill should have delicious mouth watering wings. The wings are cooked great and their blue cheese is good. But I asked for hot as you can make them buffalo wings. Not hot wings that only taste of brown sugar. Yes! Brown sugar. It's all you can taste in the sauce. Brown sugar in the rub and honey as a binder. These "hot" wings were super sweet and were not hot at all and did not give off a Buffalo wing impression. Other than that, great place and great waitresses. Really think the cooking staff needs evaluation though read more

I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop and have lunch. Pretty decent parking. Once entering I was greeted promptly with a friendly smile and seated. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside, super dooper clean, I think I could have ate off the floor, everything is so organized here. Very impressive!! I was greeted promptly by a male waiter. He was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. I started off with a sweet tea, which was super yummy! I decided on an appetizer which were the cheesesteak rolls which were super yummy! Highly recommend. I decided on the ribeye steak sandwich with fries. Everything was super hot, fresh, ol so yummy! I throughly enjoyed my meal. My waiter was top notch and on his game! Excellent service! The prices were to be expected around the area and lake atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant!! It was super Dooper awesome!!!!! read more

Bridgewater did a fantastic job hosting my son's rehearsal dinner. Everything was absolutely fabulous, especially the prime rib. The service could not have been any better. They had the food prepared and served exactly at the time we had requested. Everyone was pleasant and went above and beyond to make a special night go seamlessly! I would recommend them for any special event, as well as an awesome lunch spot. Thanks to all the staff for serving us so well. read more
