    Chimi steak fries
    Bryan S.

    Had the chimi steak fries! The fries were amazing and the carne asada was really good. The plate is loaded so you really get a lot of food for the price. I also had a couple old fashioned which were amazing as well. Place was very clean, great vibes and awesome staff!

    Went on a Friday during restaurant week, made reservations and our service was speedy!!! Atmosphere inside is quiet and modern! Love that it's 21+, great for date nights. Dinner was the 2 meal special that included choice of an appetizer to share, two meals and a shared dessert. Flavors of everything we had were delicious and well prepared. Waitstaff were great, very attentive. Will definitely go back!!

    I've been wanting to try Harry's Sidecar since my friend was excited to see another classy establishment come to the Fredericksburg area. Fast forward to this past weekend. I took it upon myself to suggest Harry's because if I'm traveling that far for food, I want it to be goooood! My friend, who's my ambassador for all things Stafford/Fredericksburg, did not make reservations but in her defense, I did say I wanted to kick it at the bar to watch football. Well a couple things, the bar doesn't have tv's and the restaurant was booked up because it was restaurant week..hmmmm! Why didn't you know these things Miss Ambassador..LOL!! While we were standing there looking like two deer stuck in headlights, a Harry's patron stood up and said, let's make room and rearranged their seating to squeeze us in. That would never have happened up North without us asking, so thankful for the southern hospitality for SURE!!! When I say the servers made us feel like we were the only folks in this packed out restaurant, they did just that! My friend ordered the Sumac Martini and she couldn't stop talking about it. One bartender said she created it while the other took credit for perfecting it. I do enjoy good bantering..LOL! We ordered off the Restaurant Week menu since it was so appealing. I have a new thing for thick cut quality pork chops, so I went for that, while my friend chose the scallops risotto. Both dishes were amazing! We selected the crab dip as our appetizer and I must say, it was the best tasting crab dip that I can remember. The homemade pita bread that accompanied the dip was just as delicious! If there ever was a five star dining experience, this was it! Harry's Sidecar is small so definitely make reservations. They have a large casual restaurant/sports bar just next door if you want a totally different Harry's experience...We'll try that one next time!!

    Had a great restaurant week dinner for two! Nice wine list, good apps, flavorful entrees and dessert. Tasty and rich enough to put your cardiologist's kids through UMW. Pork Chop highly recommended. Brad at the bar was the only server but his stimulants must have kicked in since he was able to handle all the tables. Bring a jacket in the winter -- not sure why they just don't only use the entry to the airlock. We'll be back.

    We stopped by early Friday evening to find we were the only ones in the restaurant. They had one lager on tap and said we could go next door for more beer options which I found unwelcoming. She did let us taste the one they had. We started with a few lager, smoked old fashioned and a vodka tonic and some crab dip. The drinks were pretty good and crab dip was very good. We ordered crab cakes, ribeyes and salmon burger. Our food was great and all liked the cream spinach side the best. The cost is a bit high but the food was good.

    Valentine's Day limited cocktail "Bouquet of Rosès" Made with Gray Whale gin, elderflower, grapefruit, lemon, and sparkling rosè.

    The Valentine's Day special cocktail menu this year consisted of the Bouquet of Rosès and a Cherry Whiskey Smash. Both are worthy additions to the menu, providing sweetness and everyone's favorite valentines treat, cherries!, Sara, Sav, and Tori all are excellent hosts, and even better friends. Expect a low key, hole in the wall experience downtown. Paired with an upscale food menu prepared from the same kitchen as Harry's Downtown. If you would rather sit at a table as opposed to the open bar seating, it is recommended to make a reservation for the future.

    Went with family for the first time and it's a nice establishment. Very clean and the service was great. The bathrooms were very clean also. We had a party of 5 and everything that we ordered was good. They have a limited menu but it's good. They have a couple beers on tap and plenty of mix drinks. We ordered the crab dip with pita chips was really delicious. Crab cake, steaks and the special which was a salmon dish. The steaks were cooked to perfection, salmon was cooked perfect and the crab cakes were very good. They also offer to validate your parking garage ticket. Will go back again.

    Salmon burger with creamed spinach and coleslaw.
    Elizabeth H.

    Delicious food! Our table tried the crab dip, salmon burger, ribeye, and crab cakes. They were all great! The creamed spinach was our favorite side! Staff was wonderful as well.

It makes you feel like you are at a locally owned artist's studio that also serves food and has a bar everyone looks forward to seeing their friends. The staff and servers are extremely friendly and helpful and the place seems quite busy with regulars who love gathering together. Almost makes you want to be a local... The food is well cooked and served hot. I wished I could have tried a lot more of the menu... but it was a quick stop on the way home from a beach vacation. For such a small restaurant... there are a lot of seats and looks to be able to even host a large party of 15-20 on a long bench. The Gus burger was hearty, beef patty was thick and delicious... the fries are interesting... like a hybrid between a fry and potato chip. The onion rings are large and seem to have a funnel cake coating! Crispy and well fried. The French toast is thick and fluffy and the bread density is amazing! My daughter also enjoyed the bagel and cream cheese... The BLT is filled with beautiful pieces of ham and turkey... it's so hearty! If you live in the area or are driving through... make your way here!

    This is a true definition of a hole in a wall. Very clever decor and cozy spot. Service was great…read moreeven though they were under staffed during a lunch hour. Ordered the Reuben based on the feedback from the waitress. Best Reuben I have had in a long time. Meat was tender and and flavorful. I would order that anytime I go back. Onion rings is what brings my review down. Heavy batter and a very slim onion. Onion needs to be thicker and juicier.

Service: The first impression was a little mixed. The hostess wasn't very welcoming when we asked about a booth for our family of five (two adults and three younger kids) and didn't seem open to exploring the option. Thankfully, our server, DeQuandre (Deq?), completely turned that around. He was friendly, attentive, and offered great recommendations. We appreciated his visits as he was energetic and very hospitable, highly recommend asking for him when you visit. Food: We started with the buffalo dip. It comes with chips, but Deq was awesome and add some pita, which was a great call. The pita was slightly crisped (almost lightly fried) but still soft inside and paired perfectly with the dip, which had great flavor and good chunks of chicken. For burgers, we ordered the Spicy Wrangler (March 2026 Burger of the Month) and the Whiskey Burger. The Wrangler had a lot going on but the flavors worked well together. The Whiskey Burger was delicious, the sauce was a bit sweeter than I usually prefer, but the bacon was excellent. Only critique would be the burgers were slightly underdone even for medium, but still enjoyable. The onion rings were a standout, though the breading-to-onion ratio leaned a little heavy. The fries were decent but nothing particularly great about them. Atmosphere: Casual and open, but fairly loud. Even though it wasn't very busy for a Sunday lunch, the music and bar noise made it a little difficult at times to hear others at our table. I wouldn't consider this a date night type atmosphere, more casual open dining. Drinks: Solid beer selection with enough variety for most tastes, plus a small cocktail menu and a selection of wines. Overall: Harry's Downtown is a solid spot for a casual lunch or dinner. If you're in the mood for a good burger, or consider yourself a bit of a burger enthusiast, it's definitely worth checking out. This visit was positive enough to plan another visit to explore other delicious sounding menu items. We'll definitely be requesting Deq when we return! Thank you!

My intimate gathering of 40 family and friends received outstanding and attentive service. Not a hiccup was evident during our vows, cocktail hour, dinner and of course dancing. The staff at Brocks creatively and artistically bought my vision to life in how they decorated the River Room with what I provided for my linens, flowers, and table wear in my colors of Chartreuse and Navy. The food from appetizers to the main course absolutely no complaints. Carley took excellent care of us during the planning. The staff serving myself, my husband and our guests was very responsive to our needs ensuring a smooth wedding reception experience. The MC duties performed by DJ Jay Cole were chef's kiss. The River Room with its views of the Rappahannock river and the historic Fredericksburg Railroad bridge were an excellent backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Do not hesitate to reserve Brocks Riverside Grill for your wedding, or any other event where the location, food, and attentive staff are a priority to you. Go Brock's!!!
