Amazing food and the chicken wow!!!! tastes so good. The service was fast and very nice. Ambiance was so nice like I was at classic nice pub

Amazing food, great service. I got the Monte Cristo. Some of the most perfect French toast I've ever had and the jam for the sandwich was tart and delicious. Good prices too Nice dive bar atmosphere, close to a park and a Ben and Jerry's down the road. read more

Chadwicks - Monte Cristo with Boylan Root Beer - American Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Haven't eaten all day. It was late night after driving for what seemed forever. Bartender was awesome. I ordered a side Caesar salad, new England clam chowder, and their crab sandwich with fries. Food just wasn't great. Considering I haven't eaten all day, I feel like that's saying a lot. The Caesar was ok but I wouldn't get it again. The clam chowder .... Nope, had way better. The bartender said they were known for their crab cake. Um their sandwich wasn't horrible but I wouldn't get it again. They should of had some tartar sauce with it... the fries were actually pretty good. I had a ginger beer there and that was good as well. Bartender was fast, social, great communication and honestly the only reason I'd come back for a drink or something. He was just one of those chill dudes id probably hangout with... Not in a gay way being that I'm a straight guy lmao read more

Chadwicks - American Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

This is a short review, but I think this is only my second time coming here. I stopped by for happy hour and ordered the lychee martini--and wow, this thing was amazing! It was so good it actually reminded me of the lychee martini at Jinya, so 10/10. I was honestly surprised to see it on the menu (maybe it's seasonal?), but I'm so happy I tried it! Unfortunately no pictures to post, but if you're wanting a refreshing, sweet (but not overly sweet) and good drink, this is an excellent choice read more

This restaurant has a mixed vibe between the outside and the inside. On the outside it feels like a charm, historic restaurant but the inside it's just like a neighborhood burger joint but it pretends to be upper scale restaurant. Our tables moves every time I lean in. The service just gave it all away. We sat down for 35 minutes with no one bothers to come by to take our drink order. We were meeting up with old friends so it wasn't noticeable until I looked at my watch. I had to walk to the hostess to ask for our server. The menu was limited but the food was okay, very small portion size. It does not deserve the 3.9 rating and I wish it was more accurately reflected the quality as I was entertaining out of town guests. It was a letdown. read more

We made a reservation for a very large party of 17 people and they accommodated us. And they even did the separate checks for us without fussing. The food was fresh and hot and very delicious. All of us were happy. I have to say as a bacon lover, I love that they got my bacon just right, crisp with the right amount of chew. They had $5 brunch drinks and they were a pretty nice size. I got a Bloody Mary which could have stood a little bit more alcohol but it was still good and I was happy with it. I wish I had gotten our server's name cuz she was really sweet and attentive. The prices were right, affordable, much better than some of the other places we had priced nearby. And it's close enough to the water that you could call this a waterfront restaurant. I will definitely go there again. read more

Chadwicks - $5 brunch Bloody Mary - American Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I've always heard positive reviews for this place and finally got to stop in. It definitely has that neighborhood bar feel to it located just a short distance from the waterfront in old town. The restaurant itself is spacious, with multiple floors and the decor has that historic feel to it. I stopped in on a Saturday evening there were a few large groups and it was a more lively scene than expected. Their dinner menu is the perfect size not too many items where it's overwhelming but still enough variety to keep you satisfied. It includes starters like blue crab dip, buffalo wings, a few different sandwich options, a customize your own burger option, and entrees like bbq ribs, steak and fries, and jambalaya (price range for most items is between $10-$30). The service from the bartenders was pretty good even given the large amount of customers they were navigating. I decided to try out the customized burger option, and opted for a turkey burger with basically all the fixins. My sweet tooth got the best of me so I also order the banana pudding. Both items didn't disappoint, the turkey burger was cooked nicely, not dried out and the patty was a decent size as well, and the banana pudding exceeded my expectations, the actual banana to cookie ratio was perfect and the portion size was adequate as well. Highly recommend checking them out whenever you have the opportunity to. read more

First time at Chadwick's for brunch and let's just say I'd easily go back! Our server was amazing, she took good care of us from start to finish. I enjoyed their espresso martini with my steak and eggs off their brunch menu. It was quite busy so highly recommended to get there early! Now that I know how tasty their brunch is, I'll have to come back and enjoy some more things on the menu! read more

TLDR: Chadwicks is your typical divey local watering hole spot in Old Town Alexandria offering up variety of food. Would recommend for game watching but keep the bar of expectation mid to low. This was my wife's and I first time visiting Chadwicks we came here as a JMU Football location. The first critique was we came in and was told the TVs were at the bar sections and we sat at a table in the section but the host failed to inform us that we needed to ask the bartender for menus and silverware. We literally sat for like 5-10 minutes before I went back to the hostess to ask and that's when I was told. This interaction is on the hostess not the bartender. On to the food, we were here for brunch hours and I opted for the Monte Cristo which was recommended by the bartender that and the home fries were really good. The chowder lacked salt and pepper big time but once we added, it was decent. The clams in it were a bit chewy for my liking. My wife had the Au Jus she said she liked it but it was dry in some areas. In all I would come back here for sure to bar dive or to watch a game and grab a pub-ish bite. Chadwick's doesn't try to be something it's not and that's a good thing. read more

This was my second time visiting Chadwick's. Monday night, after a long night at work, and was expecting chill vibes but basically getting ignored by a bartender is never fun. I put in my drink order, to a passive bartender, and even tho I actively had a menu in my hand, she didn't ask if I was interested in ordering food and moved on from me very quickly. A good amount of time passes before I could put in a food order. The food was good but the service was really lackluster. My sister joined me later in the night and we were both attempting to get the attention of the bartender to no avail, to the point where my sister got up and went to the car to wait for me to pay the tab. The whole experience was really soured by the service. I unfortunately doubt we'll be back. read more

First time visiting DC, first time staying in Alexandria, Chadwick's was the very first restaurant we tried in the area. We stayed at Hotel Indigo, right down the block, and walked here for dinner after a late flight and hotel check-in. Food was great, service was meh, location is excellent. Parking would have been a challenge had we not been staying at the hotel, which included a garage parking space. Overall, I'd recommend trying Chadwick's. We ended up finding other spots in Alexandria with better ambiance but wouldn't mind coming back. read more

Oily shrimp and grits. The waitress literally forgot to check on us. Outside seating is next to a car / back alley. Someone started smoking above us and it just wafted in our faces. Wouldn't return. read more

This place is a perfect place to go for a happy hour. I thoroughly enjoyed the crabcakes and the buffalo wings. They were cooked to perfection. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is perfect to go after work. They have also really great prices for drinks like $5 drafts. Overall, my favorite food has to be the crabcakes and the apple pie with ice cream not picture because I ate it all. :) I highly recommend you check it out and the parking is not too bad. read more

Chadwicks - Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes Chicken Wings Chicken Quesadilla Spicy Chicken Egg Rolls - American Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Really enjoyed this spot. Wasn't super busy so I was seated upstairs immediately. Took a moment for the waiter to come but he did come with water in hand. For brunch mimosas at 5 bucks so I ordered a pineapple one. I always ask the staff what they enjoy on the menu. He recommended anything with salmon. I opted for the spicy chicken egg rolls and chicken francios with a side of home fries. The egg rolls were amazing, Crispy and hot. The chicken francios was good but i wasn't blown away. The French toast had a ton of butter sitting on top of it so it made it soggy so I wasn't a fan. The play list they had going was great. The ladies next to me asked for the pandora station because it truly was a vibe. I would absolutely come back. read more

Chadwicks - Blackened Salmon with rice and string beans. - American Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

From the moment we entered until we left, it was so cozy and family friendly. Seeing so many families on a Sunday early afternoon was a good sign. We enjoyed all of our food and we had a full spread. After church, you want a heart warming meal that meets everyone's needs, some went lighter with a wrap, and some of us went full throttle brunch with mimosas & chicken Francois! The service was friendly and attentive. It was a perfect location just off the water in Old Town Alexandria. Huge fan and I will be back over and over! read more

I've been to Chadwick's twice within the past two years and it was decent. However, I recently went and I was not impressed by the food. I had the crab dip and it was very watery in consistency and didn't have much of a taste. I also expected more from the fried chicken sandwich because I've had the wings before and they were tasty, but the fried chicken sandwich was bland. read more

We had our Bookclub meeting here last night and it was great. The place was pretty packed so we sat outside. The waiter was very nice. The appetizers were delicious, we had the crab dip and the green fried tomatoes. I ordered the salmon with rice and green beans, it was maybe missing a sauce on the salmon but that than that it was cooked to perfection. I also had an apple pie for dessert and they heated it up with a scoop of ice cream, it was to die for. read more

Chadwicks - Hot Apple Pie - American Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I had a dinner date here we wanted a beer and some burgers. I have to say this place was great. My burger was very good and cooked to perfection. I ordered a local beer and it was honestly one of the best beers I've ever had. I would suggest there fried green tomatoes as well from the appetizer menu they were really tasty. I also like this place because it's right by the water and u can walk around after your meal and enjoy the views . My server was Louis he was great I don't know how he didn't write anything down but was still able to remember everything we ordered that is a true super power. I highly recommend this place if u want a good beer good food and good company . read more

Chadwick's definitely delivered! The Buttermilk Biscuits with the Honey butter and house jam were warm and delicious, the Spicy Chicken Egg Rolls had the perfect kick, and both the Chadwick's Club sandwich and the Chicken François were full of flavor. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The service was great from the moment we walked in to the time we were seated and served. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming staff made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back! read more

Wish we had planned to have dinner here. This is a don't miss spot. Local friendly people, friendly staff, good drinks, good food and great conversation. We stopped in here per recommendation of a Ferry Boat worker after we got off of our Potomac River tour. Good call on his part. Upon entering we were met by Nick who was tending bar. We sat at the bar and the experience began. What do I mean by experience.... Just a pleasant conversation with Nick who made us feel welcome into this foreign place. We ordered a couple of apps to soak up the alcohol. Both very good. Spicy Chicken Egg rolls and the special fish tacos. My only complaint the tacos didn't come with lime slices to squeeze onto them. This was quickly remedied with a quick ask to Nick. Also a very good sign about the food were the number of people (locals) who were coming in to pick up their take out orders. If I lived near by I would frequent this place often. As for the interior it had a maritime vibe and was well maintained. read more

I had read a few reviews about this place and decided to come for dinner... As we walked in, there was a guy lounging on a chair right at the entrance, who asked us if we were looking to have dinner...we said Yes. He grabbed a couple of menus and showed us to a table....the odd thing is that he was not standing up waiting to greet people like most hosts would....but lounging....LOL. Luis was our server and he was very nice and attentive. We got some IPAs (delish) and some really good food...I got the salmon and my husband got the buttermilk fried chicken plate. Both were really well done and deliciously prepared. The portions were adequate..not huge...but not small either... Great place with a nice cozy vibe....located in an old brick and stone buidling... read more

Chadwick's will always have a special place in my heart because it is where my husband and I had our first date. We have also continued coming here throughout the years. It has a great location near the water and a varied menu. They are open for lunch, dinner, as well as brunch. It is also a big place so typically not a wait to get a table, there is an upstairs as well as a downstairs seating area and a large bar. This time we came with a couple friends for dinner and we were sat downstairs in this side area. It is almost like an enclosed patio with a big front window, stone walls, and lots of pretty string lights coming from the ceiling. In my opinion it's the best area to sit at for ambiance. We started our menu with a round of drinks as well as an order of the Spicy Chicken Egg Rolls. They were warm and nicely fried served with a sweet chili sauce. A first we weren't given small plates so it was bit challenging to eat and dip until we asked and got some. But overall a solid starter. For my entree I got the Buttermilk Fried Chicken which is typically a Fried Chicken breast, bacon gravy, mac & cheese, coleslaw, and a biscuit. You are able to swap the sides for whenever of your choosing so I got veggie of the day (broccoli) instead of slaw. It was a nice sized portion, but the taste of some components left a little bit to be desired. The chicken was moist and had good breading. But when fried chicken isn't on the bone it just is not the same. There was absolutely no seasoning on the broccoli. Thank goodness for the bacon gravy which was tasty and honestly wish I had a bit more of it. Their Mac and cheese wasn't anything special, but was fine. My husband however got the Short Ribs entree which were braised birria short ribs, consommé, mashed potatoes, and sautéed spinach. He let me have a few bites and honestly he won dish of the evening. It was a well plated and executed dish. Everything on the plate worked well together and the consommé was so flavorful and helped to elevate everything else. Might get this one in the future for myself read more

Horrible service at the bar on a Sunday afternoon early. Not super busy. Rude women behind the bar, to us and other people. "I'm hard of hearing so speak up" in a very rude way to a dad with his daughter picking up food. He was shocked. It was embarrassing and uncalled for. Bar tender bothered by having to do her job. Drinks were awful. Simple tequila on the rocks with muddled limes (nope, she didn't do that), instead we got the tequila on the rocks with ONE wedge of a lime and a slice of orange. Never coming back and I'm sure they don't care if you do or not. Several locals there since they knew each other and even they were not getting the service locals would get. Weird. read more

Service was good. But the food at Chadwick's has become mediocre. Ordered blackened chicken pasta, which tasted okay but it was really masquerading as onion soup. Lots of water and onions served with a fork. My wife and kid's food was also disappointing to them. read more

Went to Chadwick's for brunch and had a lovely experience! The location is beautiful. Perfect for a nice afternoon on the patio. I ordered the shrimp and grits (confirmed gluten free) and buffalo wings and hummus with a side of vegetables. The shrimp and grits may be my new favorite in the DMV area! I also had the jalapeño cucumber margarita and it was very refreshing. Will definitely be back again for brunch or happy hour! read more

Hands down the best brunch in the DMV area. I lived in the south (Georgia/NC) for years, and I've struggled to find great biscuits, honey butter and grits in DC that compare. Until now.

On Sunday morning our family of 7 gathered at Chadwick's for Brunch, celebrating s 1st birthday. Our server Augie was delightful, a perfect combination of knowledgeable, efficiency, and charm.

Chadwicks - 1st birthday! - American Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

In Old Town Alexandria early in the day and didn't have time to eat so decided to check out a nearby restaurant for brunch. Chadwick was closer and I have never been to this place before. I came here without reservations they didn't have any open tables downstairs but told me I could go upstairs to the bar and place my order and possibly sit outside. Fortunately, there was a table available outdoors. The table was dirty and needed to be wiped down, which no one did by the way. I ordered the Francois with a brunch cocktail (can't remember the name). The food was good, but definitely underwhelming nothing to write home about. I was also taken aback when I saw the small portion. The drink was ok. Another con was they only have one bathroom area and in the women's bathroom, one of the stalls was out of order. A recipe for disaster. All in all, I wouldn't come back. read more
