    NASHVILLE HOT HONEY CHICKEN SLIDERS and BROILED CHESAPEAKE CRAB DIP
    Isabella L.

    The food was great, i've only been here for brunch but I will definitely be back. If you want a variety of food $30 for AYCE brunch was a great price, and you can tell the food is made to order. The starters were a pretty big portion, great to share but proceed with caution if you are trying to budget stomach space ;) If you're not feeling as hungry, they have à la cart, and the portions are big. The service is fast, which is exactly what you want from a place that you order multiple times. Overall great experience!

    Came in Friday night for dinner and was not disappointed. Everything was soo delicious. We started with cocktails and apps. Ordered the legendary crab dip with the garlic cheese bread and the combo was epic! We couldn't wait to eat our food, I didn't even get a chance to take a picture. I had the filet and my husband ordered the Cajun chicken(?). We both LOVED our food. Our waitress was super bubbly and nice. She was attentive and gave good recommendations. The restaurant was very nice and clean and they validate parking.

    Actually blown away by the hospitality and ambiance of their weekend brunch + food quality and prices! I came in with a party of 4 and we were there for a long time, ordering almost everything off the bottomless brunch menu twice along with the mimosas. There are screens airing different sports all around but specifically, my party wanted to watch soccer that day and they kindly changed the channel of the TV that was in our view. As for the brunch menu, our favorites were the crispy calamari, crab dip, nutella banana bread, french toast sticks, and sliders! We left the restaurant very full and happy already talking about the next time we'd be back to eat brunch and watch a game. Great spot, great food, great price, and great servers! I also made a TikTok video highlighting this experience: @lyn.dulge

    First time here. Came for bottomless brunch and it did not disappoint! Aaya (spelling not sure) our server was top tier. Very attentive, knew all about the menu, food drinks, ect. Some of the plates were too big (if that's an actual problem). We just wanted to try all the things and it was hard because we don't like wasting food and some portions were way too big for just a try. Favorite item which I didn't get a photo of was the breakfast/biscuit sliders. Biscuit was soooo fresh. I would come back just for those to be honest.... Everything else was good, good quality food for the $30 per person price point. Kids were just $11. Oh and the ambiance was bar-like but a little more upscale. It was nice. We will definitely be back...

    It's always a time when I go to Theismanns! I just made sure to get some snaps this time around. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. It's a mix between the bar and sit down at the restaurant. I would recommend getting a reservation or takeout on the weekends because the wait can be at a minimum 30 minutes. The food was delicious and I took what I couldn't finish home!

    Came here for happy hour with coworkers and had a nice experience. They have a large selection of beers on tap, which is great if you like options. We decided to try their happy hour "bar bites" deal for $32, which is more of a tapas-style spread, from chips and dip, bufflo wings, pork belly bites, fried pickles and sliders. It was fun getting to try a little bit of everything, though the portions were very small. Everything tasted alright, like elevated bar food. The restaurant itself is very large with a big bar area, so it's a good spot for groups and after-work drinks. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Parking is limited in the area, so street parking is probably your best bet. Overall, it's a decent spot for happy hour if you're looking for good beer, a lively atmosphere, and reasonably tasty bar food.

    Fantastic spot! I highly recommend visiting here. My friend and I opted to come here since we were staying in the area. It was really convenient. When we arrived we were seated quickly. The interior is a little on the dark side, but I asked for a table that was a booth and good lighting. HEHE I need good lighting for photos. Our waiter was great the whole time. Our drinks were always taken care of and we never had to wait for anything. He was doing great with the table behind us as well. At one point I assume the manager, came up to us to check in. I do appreciate that. Our food was fantastic. I opted for the salmon and my friend got the meatloaf. We both enjoyed our meals very much! My salmon was flavored nicely, and the asparagus was cooked to perfection. My friend's meatloaf was a great portion. The green beans were also cooked to perfection. We ordered the peanut butter cake, and that was so rich and delicious! There was nothing we didn't like. They have a pretty good size menu.

    Tried brunch at Theismann's in Alexandria and had a great experience overall. The crab dip was delicious, and the grilled banana bread was a standout , definitely one of my favorites from the table. The pork belly was also very well done and full of flavor. One thing to note: if you're doing the brunch option, it's mostly carb-heavy, though there are some standout items mixed in. Also, food can't be taken to go with the brunch service, so plan accordingly.Overall, a solid brunch spot at a moderate price.

    Joe's all American burger
    Tammy L.

    We were looking for something that had a variety of menu choices for each of our palates, and so glad we found Theismann's. Nice sports bar/ restaurant - good for taking your kiddos (like I did). Super friendly staff. We ordered several plates to share - the fried pickles, chicken wings, and garlic cheese bread - were so good. Would order again. Sadly, we ordered the Italian beef sandwich with gardinier, a little on the salty side and not sure if it was the provolone cheese. Recommend getting it with mozzarella, if available. My daughter loved the all American burger, although she did mention it was a little salty as well. (May have just been an off day.) 8 out of 10 for me. Enjoy.

    Always are treat to visit Joe Theismann's Restaurant in Old Town, Alexandria, Va. Located right by the Metro station with plenty of hotels nearby. All foods selections,burgers, steaks and huge salad were well prepared and delicious. The onion rigs were the largest I've ever seen. All the staff were professional and friendly.

    Great place just outside of DC, was staying next door at Embassy Suites so walked over! Great atmosphere, sports bar and other seating. Had the dry aged NY Strip and it was fantastic ! As was the sides and service top notch as well!! Great choice close to your hotel! Very close to a 5 star review , 4.5 for sure all day!!

    Recommended this location by a local hotel. Everything was excellent. We tried the pull apart cheesy bread as our server Jose recommended. This was a really great meal and an excellent value for the quality. I would definitely go back. They have a happy hour menu at the bar as well.

    CRISPY CALAMARI, SAUSAGE GRAVY CROQUETTES and Naked WINGS
    Helana J.

    I saw a video on TikTok for the restaurant a few weeks ago and was in the area today with family so we decided to stop by. We walked in the wrong door but that was okay as a waiter and hostess came to our rescue and brought us to the front of the restaurant. We were sat quickly but due to some confusion it took a little while for someone to come to our table. Once we ordered everything came quickly. The restaurant has a nice "American" sports theme and wrap around bar for the sports lover! I definitely want to come back for their $29 bottomless brunch food.

As a HUGE Bears fan, this was truly a treat for me and I appreciated everything from the decor to the menu. Chicago dogs? Italian beef? MY HEART! This is the perfect dive bar to catch a game and I absolutely love the environment. As a Chicago(land) native, Ivy and Coney hits home in all the right ways. Tucked away in the Shaw neighborhood, this unassuming spot is a Midwest haven in the heart of DC. Let's start with the food: the Detroit-style pizza is phenomenal. Crispy edges, generous portions (you get 8 slices!), and packed with flavor. Perfect to share! Other notable mentions included the cheese curds, smash burger, or legit Chicago-style dogs. The space itself is exactly what a dive bar should be: cozy, casual, a little rowdy when it needs to be, and full of character. The back bar with the retractable roof is a hidden gem for game days. When I visited it was a beautiful evening and having the roof retracted added a special touch! And the staff? Peak Midwest nice (IYKYK). Friendly, quick, and genuinely happy to see you. Catch me here on Mondays, Thursdays, or Sundays (i.e., whenever my team is on the screen!). Whether you're here for sports, snacks, or just the atmosphere, Ivy and Coney delivers every time. It's my new go-to spot for a slice of home, and if you're from the Midwest (or just love great food and chill vibes), it should be yours too.

I asked for a vegetarian menu, knowing there was one, but she walked off, did not return. Our waiter was a young man, spoke very softly; we both had a difficult time hearing him. My wife ordered her drink; I asked for a few more minutes. That drink did not appear until half my meal was over, which I did not appreciate. And I had to ask 3 times to get the drink, including asking another waiter. We ordered salad and main dish; my vegetarian menu finally appeared. It just seemed both the hostess and our waiter did not care to attend to us. I do not know if we will be returning; and to top this all off, both the hostess and waiter called us 'Guys'. When two older women are sitting at the same table, we are ladies, or simply nice to see you two tonight. Please tell your wait staff to get this right.
