Our first visit to Joe's Thighs Restaurant & Bar, just off King Street in Alexandria, was an…read moreexcellent experience from beginning to end. The food was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, and the cocktails were exceptionally well mixed. I tried both the Cherry Blossom Sangria and the Orange Old Fashioned, and each was delicious and nicely balanced. Rather than ordering traditional entrées, we decided to sample several items. The Garlic Parmesan Wings were a standout--the Parmesan appeared to be freshly shredded, which gave them a noticeably fresher flavor than the typical pre-packaged version. The wings were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the dip and the Chicago Beef Pizza, both of which were flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. The service made the evening even more memorable. Monique and Alex were both attentive, personable, and welcoming throughout our visit. Monique, in particular, added a thoughtful personal touch when she commented on how much we seemed to be genuinely enjoying one another's company. It was such a kind observation and a beautiful reminder that, as friends, we don't always get enough opportunities to simply sit together, laugh, catch up, and enjoy the moment. Between the quality of the food, the well-crafted drinks, and the warm service, Joe's Thighs delivered a wonderful first impression. Nothing felt rushed or mass-produced; everything tasted fresh and intentionally prepared. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely be returning for football season. Prices were extremely reasonable and cost efficient. And a special thanks to Antwan for checking on our experience at our he restaurant and encouraging us to come back during the season. Because of these experiences and exceptional service from Antwan's welcome when we entered, the food & drinks the ladies impeccable service, and his recommendation when leaving, we are sure to return!!!!

While visiting the D.C. area, we ended up staying at a nearby hotel. After checking in, we decided…read moreto walk to a restaurant close by. Thankfully, we stumbled upon Joe Theismann's Restaurant because there was a heat wave, and we didn't want to spend any more time outside than necessary. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted, seated right away, and given menus. Our waitress introduced herself, offered recommendations for appetizers and entrées, and even convinced us to try one of their signature drinks. We started with the Broiled Chesapeake Crab Dip, and it was really tasty. It was rich and cheesy, with generous chunks of crab throughout. It was so good that we easily could have ordered another bowl! For our entrée, we shared the Chicken Louisiana. It had chicken, sausage, and shrimp with peppers and onions in a Cajun sauce served over rice. Now this dish was really delicious. It arrived hot and tasted freshly made to order. We even noticed the table next to us ordered the same thing. I can't remember the exact name of the martini I ordered, but it was very light and refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day. The restaurant itself is spacious, with a large bar, plenty of seating, and TVs throughout. Overall, we had a good dining experience. Whenever we're back in the D.C. area, we'll definitely make a point to stop by again.

Hamilton never really disappoints me. Dropped by for a quick bite to eat with friends after an…read moreevent that was downtown. The environment is always busy, and fun. The servers are kind and attentive, despite the busyness of the place. I usually order the spicy crab roll, but I ordered the wings with mumbo sauce because I didn't feel like waiting an hour for happy hour to start at 2pm. My friend ordered a sushi roll before happy hour started, but she didn't receive her food until after 2pm, so the waiter comped her meal. The wings were great, and the mumbo sauce was really good (although it had more of a bbq sauce consistency). Garden salad is always a hit for me as well. The dressing is paired perfectly with fresh tomatoes, carrots, etc. Hamilton is metro accessible via the red line, and can be a quick stop for food that appeals to even the pickiest eater. Definitely drop by if you're in the area.

Their menu offers traditional bar classics and they have a full bar with a couple of local drafts. I thought the service was good but the prices are outrageous and did not match the quality of food.

When my wife and I first came to base bowl the food was amazing. The broth was flavorful, the…read morenoodles were fantastic and this time.. IT was an extreme let down. I got the batters favorite and it tasted like noodles in water. It was bland from start to finish. Even adding the Chili oil did not help. The meet was unseasoned, the broth was unseasoned, the drinks were not good. I don't know if it was just an off night or the place has gone down hill. It use to be vibrant and a place you could hang with friends and chill. Now, it was empty and lifeless and this is on a Friday night. Our friends got a mixture of things and one of my friends got the coconut curry ramen with extra chicken and didn't even bother eating the chicken and said the Ramen itself was not worth it. I'm not a fan of trashing restaurants, I truly like to find the beauty somewhere but this place gave my wife food poisoning. Immediately a couple hours later after eating from there, we left around 10pm, she started to violently vomit at midnight and it lasted for a long period. How do we know it was this place.... Her vomit was straight Ramen. So, I say this to say.. eat here at your own risk. Batters Favorite: 0/10.. Just taste like water with Noodles Mango Tango: 0/10... Tasted like mango with no tango.

Street parking was a challenge as others seemed to have the same idea but once I parked across the street everything from there was up. It's pretty spacious with a nice size patio area; it was empty, so I opted to sit at the bar - they have happy hour specials all day every day. I settled for a tequila lemon drop, edamame and the Strike Out ramen with fried chicken. The chicken was seasoned but I felt like I had mostly fat which added a chewy texture so I didnt eat all of it. The ramen itself was good, had a nice spice to it and the lemon drop was strong. The edamame was soft, like they used thawed frozen peas and barely any salt. Overall - this visit satisfied the craving of wanting ramen. I would give it another try especially since it's close by and the all day happy hour is a plus

We'd spent an entire day touring the battlefield, it's a Saturday, and the town is full of tourists. No surprise we had a thirty minute wait for a table. But once inside and seated, it was clear to us that the B & G was no ordinary bar & grill. The burgers are themed for generals, both Federal and Confederate, who took part in the battle. Each burger is characterized by the general it's named for. The General Buford, for example, is served with bleu cheese crumbles and horseradish (he's a cavalry officer, get it?) and the Robert E. Lee features a slab of Virginia ham. I ordered the General George Meade. Meade was a Pennsylvanian, so naturally this burger comes with a pile of Philly cheesesteak. A carnivore's delight, to be sure. No complaints here. And if I'm ever back this way, I'm curious to try the General Longstreet: it's served with carmelized onions and peanut butter. That's gotta be good.

Lots of different wing choices too. Very little choices for entrées. More like an afterthought. Our waitress, bless her heart looked overwhelmed. I asked for a specific type of beer. "Oh im a girl, I dont know beers" say what? Then hands me a hand written list of beers to choose from. Also she totally forgot to put in one of the orders, for a table of 7. Yea, how do you miss a whole meal??? I asked for a medium burger, got medium rare. Along with cold fries. Who eats rare burgers??? The burger was delicious, but too rare for me (got the blue cheese one, named after some general) Overall I wouldn't recommend this place unless all you want is burgers and wings. Cause thats all they have. Oh and expect to wait in line with everyone else for a table. The place is smaller than it looks.

A small party coming in great than 5 minutes after we were seated said they were in a rush, the manager, Jen, immediately pulled our server away from our table to inform he needed to "tend to them immediately" because they were "late" to something. Our server was extremely respectful and is now in a horrible position where he is going to seem inattentive to other tables. Their food came out before ours and we had a longer wait for our food. Our server made multiple runs for the demanding table. Horrible way to handle this situation on Jen's part especially given Gavin was the only server between multiple tables. Food was good but will not come back because of the lack of respect from management to staff.
