    Ordered a bacon egg and cheese bagel and the house omelette for breakfast and we sat outside. Even on a Monday morning, inside was completely full but sitting outside with the gorgeous weather and perfectly in the shade was even better! Great start to the week

    Avocado toast, one egg and bacon

    Jack's place was absolutely hidden gem. I got the avocado toast with one egg and bacon. It was truly delish! And the staff were super friendly. Loved the food and people. Our new brunch spot!

    I was down in Old Town Alexandria one day and just needed a good but quick breakfast. I looked up from where my car was parked and saw Jack's Place. So, I decided to go ahead and give them a try. I called my order in so I could wait in the car. My food was ready when I walked in the door 10 minutes later. The staff member at the register was nice, friendly, and made sure to ask if there was anything else I needed before I left (any condiments, etc.) So, the customer service gets a 10 out of 10. I ended up getting their Sausage and Cheese Omelette. It came with Breakfast Potatoes. The Omelette was okay...your typical run of the mill Sausage Omelette, nothing special but good overall. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. The Breakfast Potatoes didn't have much flavor, other than the herbs they put on top. I'd give those a 6.5 out of 10. Well, the customer service was great, the food could use a little extra something to it, but it did its job by being a fast breakfast when I needed it in Old Town. Overall, I'd give them a 7.5 out of 10. I still might give them a shot again and try something else. Maybe their Breakfast Sandwiches are better.

    Nice quaint neighborhood joint. Three bar stools. 4 tables. One seats 4. The others seat 2 each. When we arrived on a Wednesday late morning there were two tables open. A couple or three came in for togo orders. We decided to split the house omelette. Nice sized portions but if you're looking for super sized portions then you'll be disappointed. I would visit again the next time I'm in Alexandria

    Breakfast order and grill chef. Clean little restaurant with great food.

    This tiny restaurant in Alexandria VA, has very good food and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. It's a great local spot, not touristy. The price are good and the service great.

    This a very small restaurant that seats maybe 13 people. We wanted a cheap breakfast so we chose Jack's. The service was great. It appeared to be a 2 person show. A guy on the flat top and a woman taking orders, serving and assisting with food prep. We ordered the veggie omelet and it came with toast and home fries. All for $9.99. The food was very good especially for the price. They use glass plates but plastic utensils. If we lived in the area this place would be a staple for us; we love good, cheap food!

    "Tony's Sunnyside Abbreviated " Perfect portion for me!

    Among the fancy restaurants and trendy cafes of Old Town is Jack's Place, a local mom and pop shop serving all day breakfast along with lunch. With 2 high top tables and limited counter seating, it is definitely what I would consider a hole in the wall, a gem that one could easily walk past without noticing. However, don't walk past this place without stopping in. It is a local favorite and with good reason. Pricing is modest with a "humble" menu, food is served up quickly and service is friendly. It is the type of place where you can become a regular without breaking the bank. If I lived just a bit closer, I would make breakfast here a weekly activity just to experience the vibe of a stress-free neighborhood hangout. Anyway, support small business and stop by Jack's Place for some good cookin'!

    Bar to sit at to eat, there are 4 tables. Limited seating but so quaint! It's adorable!

    The staff is understaffed and unfriendly. There is no inside seating, and I'm pretty sure Jack is gone. We left without ordering.

    It is very small but if you're lucky enough to get a table it is worth it. The food and the service are quick and delicious.

    Hands down probably the best restaurant I have eaten at so far this year…read more Amazing food, friendly service, and a nice ambiance. The place can get quite busy so I would highly recommend making a reservation first. We ordered some cocktails which all tasted amazing, I enjoyed the espresso martini the most. Our table ordered the baked oysters and tuna tartare to start. The oysters were seriously so fricking good, I wanted to order another round! The tuna tarate was refreshing and tasted really good as well. I highly recommend ordering the fish curry or their scallop entree. I also got to have a bite of the chicken & waffles and the steak pasta but I would skip on those. Super excited to come back!!

    This was not what I expected to write after looking forward to lunch at Matt and Tony's for quite…read moresome time. But someone has to say it: the king isn't wearing any clothes. My wife and I arrived around 1:20 p.m. on a Thursday. The lunch crowd was still going strong, which only reinforced that we had picked a popular spot. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill almost immediately. When we walked in, there was no hostess to be found. After waiting about four minutes, she finally appeared and offered us a choice between a small table in the corner or one by the bar. Given how busy the restaurant was, we took the table by the bar. About seven minutes later, someone finally came by to offer us water and explained that our server was busy, but she would help us in the meantime. No problem. We ordered the Avo Goddess Salad and asked that it be split so we could share it. A few minutes later, our server arrived, introduced herself, and we let her know we had already ordered the salad and were ready to place our lunch orders. She was very helpful in guiding my wife toward the Old Bay Shrimp Burger. I was excited to order the Shrimp and Grits until I learned it contained Andouille sausage and, according to our server, couldn't be prepared without it. Since the restaurant highlights that everything is made from scratch, that surprised me. I ended up ordering the Ahi Tuna Salad instead. So far, so good. Then came the frustration. We spent the next 20 minutes slowly picking at our salad, growing increasingly hungry and confused. You know something is wrong when guests who were seated after you begin receiving their meals before you. Finally, at 2:10 p.m., our food arrived: my Ahi Tuna Salad and a Pulled Lamb Sandwich for my wife. Except my wife had ordered the Shrimp Burger. When we pointed out the mistake to what was now our third server, she quickly assured us it would be corrected. A few minutes later, our original server returned and took full responsibility. She explained that the lamb and shrimp items are next to each other in the POS system and she accidentally selected the wrong item. She assured us the Shrimp Burger would be out in two minutes and suggested we enjoy the fries that came with the lamb sandwich while we waited. Unfortunately, another ten minutes passed before the burger finally arrived. Here's where things became truly disappointing: the top bun was still cold--almost frozen. My wife ended up removing it entirely and eating the sandwich with just the bottom bun. At best, the Shrimp Burger was decent, but certainly not worth the wait and frustration. As for my Ahi Tuna Salad, it felt like something I could easily make at home, especially considering the $25 price tag. I'm also not entirely convinced the tuna was particularly fresh. I can't bring myself to give Matt and Tony's one star because the atmosphere is genuinely cool and inviting. So I settled on two stars--mostly for how I felt before the experience unraveled. And listen, I get it. Mistakes happen. We're all human. But as someone who eats out frequently, here's one piece of advice: when a restaurant makes a significant mistake with a customer's order, consider taking that item off the bill. Sometimes that gesture is the only reason a guest decides to come back.

    Great casual American brunch spot with an upstairs bar located in Old Town Alexandria by the water…read more I ordered the Eggs Chesapeake with cheddar grits ($24), which was like eggs benedict with crab cakes. It was delicious and the cheddar grits were good too. Paired together, it was a good portion size and the price was reasonable considering the amount of crab. My only slight complaint is there were a handful of small crab shell bits in there. I also tried the Fried Green Tomatoes ($11), which were pretty good as well. The place itself has a nice chill cozy vibe with an old fashioned wooden theme. There are 2 levels to the restaurant with a bar on the upper level. The staff are very friendly and the service speed is quick. Overall, I would definitely recommend Chadwicks for a good casual brunch in Alexandria.

    Haven't eaten all day. It was late night after driving for what seemed forever…read more 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
