    So I came here with a friend for some celebratory cocktails and tasty bites. Upon arriving the first thing I noticed was the host with an unwelcome look on her face. The establishment itself is pretty enough where that can be ignored, but maybe she shouldn't be the first face people see. Who knows. Our waitress was a sweetheart though! Now let's get to the good stuff. The drinks were average, the bites a little above. We ordered crab dip, wings, and fish sticks. The wings were a 4/5, could use a little more marinating (flavor didn't reach the bone but tasted good with ranch), the fish sticks had an odd aftertaste and I actually liked the crab dip. Here's my BBT (Big Back Tip): take the wing and dip it into the crab. I promise you won't be disappointed! Marinade where, I no longer cared about flavor reaching the bone. That was heaven. If you're into creamy seafood and chicken combined, you will LOVE it! The interior is trendy and oh so pretty, I would love to come back for an evening! Last time we came midday, so I can imagine it coming to life later on. They might have a different bartender and host as well. Only reason I'm rating 3 stars is because the food needed another item to taste amazing and the drinks weren't fabulous. They weren't bad, just meh. I'm not a regular drinker (maybe 1-3X per month, only if I'm with someone) so it needs to be worth the sip. There's street parking and a garage nearby. It's Bethesda, so plan accordingly. Enjoy!

    Orange Cream Crush
    Rebecca F.

    Tried BT's for the first time, and let me tell you--the Creamsicle Crush (or as I like to call it, the Arnzicle Crush) was dangerously good. Like, "I need this bottled and sold at Costco in bulk" good. If I lived closer, I'd probably become a regular just to keep that drink flowing. Now, onto the wings. We went with buffalo and soy garlic. The buffalo was a classic, but the soy garlic? Absolute game-changer. I'd write poetry about those wings if I could rhyme "crispy" with anything other than "miss me." Whoever came up with that flavor combo clearly had divine inspiration--and probably a napkin full of sauce stains to prove it. The only downside: our bartender. Super friendly when we got his attention, but he spent a lot of time chatting on the far side of the bar. By the time we were ready for another round, he was deep in conversation, and we were left wing-less and Crush-less--two conditions no one should have to endure. Still, we'll be back. Because let's be honest--when the drinks crush this hard and the wings take flight like that, you forgive a little wait. Next time, though, I'll be ordering my second round before I even finish my first.

    Wow wow wow, what a great find. This place has us all from great food and drink to absolute fantastic customer service. So first the orange crush is so good and you taste the good Tito's and the steak was cooked perfectly, the ribs I've had better but still would get them again. Love the atmosphere here with the open windows in the summer. Just a nice place all around.

    Definitely a cozy and laid back restaurant. A new favorite neighborhood gem. The drinks are great, and the food tastes good. The steak bites and cheeseburger eggrolls were my favorite.

    Went here yesterday and it was great! Very good drinks and food at reasonable prices. The service was excellent - they helped me hunt down something I haven't been able to find at any of the stores. Inside is really nice, too! Would definitely go back.

    Lots of TVs for your viewing pleasure which makes this place a plus, they also have a happy hour until 6:30 but the happy hour prices aren't that different from the regular prices on the drinks. The staff is ok and the place is clean. Lots of seating space and the lighting is nice. I also love the big open window they have, made my evening even better with the breeze coming in. The bartender served me prosecco in a glass that was cracked, then looked and me and said "stuff happens", I don't think he wanted to change the glass lol. He did, but didn't even take anything off the bill as if I broke it. Other than that, it was cool.

    Spicy chicken sandwich

    Thought I'd give this place a few more tries just in case it was an isolated bad experience the first time and my experiences here have been much better! Jake is an awesome bartender. Everything on the menu is super delicious outside of the pizzas.

    Got the turkey chili half smoked sliders with a side of fries   Sauvignon Blanc to cheers for a Friday night

    New little spot. Located where the old brickside used to be. Clean and refreshing. Perfect vibes for a Friday night. Great hh menu! Service was smooth and sweet. Got the turkey chili half smoke sliders and fries. Ate every bit. Inhaled it. Go visit! I'll be going back for sure and hosting a work hh for sure!

    Nachos w chili

    Delicious nachos with chili (no jalapeño). 10/10 I like their wings a lot too; I get them the same style as Korean wings. Great upscale bar ambiance.

    OMG the nacho's were a 10/10 !!!

I ordered the Fonz Italian Sausage layered with pastrami (seemed like lunch meat) and melted cheese on top. I think it was provolone. Served on a toasted bun. Filling and satisfying, good flavor. The hot fries was a regular order of fries served with an imbalanced sprinkle sort of dumped on the top layer of fries and not distributed all the way through, which had an extra cost of $2 for the sprinkle of spices, which was an annoying difference in price in my opinion. Solid options for beer and a few ciders. Full bar as well. TVs on the walls only showing sports. You get a table number, order at the counter, pay, and they bring it out to the table number. Casual spot. My immediate thoughts...this place is overpriced. My sausage dog, fries and cider came to $26, plus tax, so about $31 bucks. I repeat, $31 bucks. I honestly felt as though the place was price gauaging. A few other people at my table mentioned the prices and thought they were overpriced. Not much service received, just them bringing the order out. Food was yummy, but I'm not convinced about the value. I have had sausage dogs, hot dogs, fries and beer around the world and I feel this place was overpriced. I like the atmosphere because its a perfect place for casual dining and decent for groups.

    Before heading to the airport for our flight, we had a few hours to spare and decided to grab some…read morelunch. My husband did a little research and found this burger spot. From start to finish, I have absolutely no negative feedback at all. 1. The Food Everything we ordered was completely divine! Here's the rundown: -Sandwiches: My husband got a Bogan Bun. My son a Mumbo Bun chicken sandwich and listen, he didn't speak a single word the entire meal because he was enjoying it so much! I ordered the Lucky Bun made with an Impossible patty. It was everything! Best I've had at a restaurant! In fact, my son, who loves beef burgers and claims he doesn't like plant based meat, ended up eating the rest of my burger! He tore that plant based meat DOWN! -Thick cut chips & Queso: The waiter let us know that their portion of fries (chips) could easily feed 3 to 4 people. He was not lying at all. The three of us shared one basket. I don't know if the sandwiches or the fries stole the show. These fries were seasoned to absolute perfection!!! SERIOUSLY! Not the typical sprinkle on top, but seasoned on every single side like someone picked up each fry and hand sprinkled each fry. Think I'm fibbing look at my pic. We ordered a side of queso for dipping and it was so good I wish I had some right now. If you're reading, hear me out Lucky Bun....add tortilla chips and queso to the menu please!!!! I would buy it just to scoop up that delicious cheese. -The Garlic Aioli: why am I highlighting a condiment???? Because!! lol!! It wasn't just standard mayo mixed with garlic powder. You could tell someone actually finely minced fresh garlic and herbs into it. It was so good I couldn't decide whether to dip my fries in the aioli or the queso! So that's why it's in my review! 2. Service The service was exceptional. There was no wait time at all. We walked straight in and were seated immediately. The food came out extremely fast which surprised us since we all ordered completely different proteins. They were speedy but all of our food arrived perfectly warm. The host, a slim gentleman, and our waitress, a lovely young lady rockin locs, were both incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. I'm telling you good service makes the food even better! 3. Restaurant Look and Seating The inside of the restaurant is fairly small, but they maximized the space with multiple tables and a full service bar. They also have outdoor dining and a front waiting area with outdoor furniture, which would be perfect for a nice summer day. You don't even have to ask me because you already know the answer. YES!!! The next time I am in DC, I will specifically make time to go there. Even if I'm not staying in the immediate area, I would gladly take an Uber just to eat here again and so will my family! Make sure you get there too!

The patty melt was perfectly cooked, juicy, and hit all the right spots, and those fries were crisp, seasoned just right, and seriously addictive. Service was great. Young bartender Noah with braids held it down. Young man was raised right! Go Commanders lol. Go Wizards! Restaurant was comfy, dark and chill. Inside and outside dining options. The mosquitoes aren't out yet so enjoy the patio. But honestly, the real star of the show, the one that truly stole my heart and taste buds, was the Antigua Bound drink. It was so good I had to get it twice! Seriously, this drink is a game-changer. It's got that perfect balance of refreshing and delicious that just makes you want to savor every sip. You know a drink is special when it outshines a stellar patty melt and fries, and the Antigua Bound definitely did that. Do yourself a favor and get to Lucky Buns DC (18th Street location) for some amazing food, and whatever you do, do NOT leave without trying the Antigua Bound. You'll thank me later! You're welcome!
