We were headed to dinner, but randomly saw this place and decided to see if we can catch the tail end of happy hour. Unfortunately, happy hour was over, but we still decided to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. I got the last of the Sauvignon blanc (white haven), which honestly was good enough for me! But since it was the last drop, it was on the house! I've never had this type of service or hospitality before! I was genuinely so shocked and surprised! Maybe it was a marketing scheme, because of that I decided to order another glass of the other Sauvignon blanc! The complimentary corn bread was delicious and my date really loves corn bread so it was a plus for him. But we didn't want to fill ourselves up before our dinner so it was definitely a nice snack pre dinner! I'll definitely be heading back here sometime very soon because of the service and staff! read more

The Good: The staff. They are absolute angels--polite, fast, and professional. The Bad: The food. We walked right in on Father's Day, which should have been my first clue. The short rib hash was aggressively average, and the toast came with a side of "butter" that was basically straight icing sugar. But nothing prepared me for the kids' pancakes. They were sour, doused in vanilla, and genuinely the worst thing I've ever tasted. I thought my kid was just being dramatic, but one bite left me traumatized for a solid 20 minutes. Shoutout to the server for taking it off the bill with a smile. I really hope that batter isn't the norm, but unfortunately, we won't be back to find out. Brb, going to go cry about how much I miss Blackfinn's steak frites. read more

We had an AMAZING experience at this new-ish restaurant. Angie, our server, was a big part of our enjoyment. When you're seated, they deliver hot cornbread muffins - so yummy! We went for happy hour with reduced price appetizers ($9 each). We shared fried green tomatoes and shrimp and grit bites. Both were cooked perfectly and would 10/10 recommend. My friend had the pork chop ($29). So glad she let me taste it as this is probably the best pork chop I've ever had and will definitely be my order next time. I had the short rib ($28) which was very tasty with creamy mashed potatoes and crispy onion straws. I felt the gravy with it was a bit too salty, but otherwise it was delicious. We also ordered green beans ($10) to share - buttery and cooked just right. My friend had cinnamon bourbon ($5) and a glass of wine ($7). I had a whisky sour ($15 which wasn't on the happy hour menu). The drinks were less of a high point than the food When we got our to-go boxes, Angie also gave us each large portions of cornbread muffins - what a lovely touch! We will definitely be back and hope others go too as it was concerningly empty. read more

Always on the hunt for a new restaurant in Ashburn area. Made reservations, was shown to our seats. Overheard grumbling from some walks in but it's Friday nite in the Burn ! Discounted drinks during the HH, mint julep for $7 was the deal. The little cornbread muffins were excellent , my entire, bourbon glazed pork chop was fantastic. Great service and atmosphere, will be back soon, this time for dessert. read more

Great spot with a menu that has a ton of options. The happy hour prices were reasonable, $5 drafts and $9 starters. We started with the fried green tomatoes topped with pimento cheese, which were excellent. The pork chop was impressively thick and cooked perfectly, and the cornbread stuffing side was extremely flavorful. The chicken cutlet caesar was huge and could easily be shared. They also have a cheeseburger and fries special for $5 on Tuesdays from 11am-3:30pm. Overall, a very solid meal with generous portions and good pricing. Would definitely come back. read more

We found this new Loudon restaurant by finding it on the In Kind App. We got a $25 coupon with a $75 purchase, which was easy with 3 people. Thank you for using In Kind app! Food (4/5): We started with drinks and I thought the Old Fashioned was on point - it was sweet, but not too sweet. The fried chicken was by far the best of the three entrees we tried - we had 4 pieces of delicious fried chicken. The truffle Mac and cheese was some of the best that I have ever had! That alone was worth the visit! My only complaint was that we discovered the fries on the bottom of the bucket of chicken about halfway through the meal and by the time we got it, they were smashed and cold...I wish these were served separately in a basket and this would make this one of the best values out there. My friend had the spicy avocado burger which looked good. She got a side salad and it looked like a solid meal. My other friend got the shrimp and grits. I liked that it was "soupy" - the shrimp was great. We asked for extra corn bread (they were small little mini cornbread that came as an appetizers.) It was covered in green and red peppers, though and I am not a fan of peppers at all. Service (5/5): The server was kind. Ambiance (3/5): The place is cute, but on a Sat night the noise level was so loud that I could not hear my table mates from across the booth. It has been years since I have been in a place where the noice level was so loud. We will return again - maybe try out lunch and see if it is not so loud. read more

Solid 4 out 5. Good beef dishes at a reasonable price. Cornbread muffins are great. Love the brussel sprouts with bacon. The only downside is on the drinks. The Maple Pecan Julep while tasty had way too much ice in it. And for a Kentucky themed restaurant I would expect a large bourbon selection/focus that is not there. Service was excellent. Reservations via Resy. Will be back for the food. read more

Tried this place for Sunday brunch. The place is made for bar experience and happy hours. Tried the Nashville Hot Sandwich. Sadly the sandwich was disappointing. We also had tried an appetizer - also disappointing. The tallow fries were probably the best part of the brunch - tasted more like boardwalk fries. I'll probably try their happy hour. However, I would not return for brunch nor dinner. read more

So the food was pretty good, went this last weekend but they had like no working air conditioning. I recommend maybe doordashing or picking up the food. I cannot believe that they stayed open without air conditioning. read more

This was our fourth visit and I'm glad we returned. The food has improved immensely. After the first three visits I didn't think we'd ever return but the proximity to our home can't be beat. The staff are great despite noone having more then a week seniority. I asked who was the manager or owner and the bartender said he was the manager, having been there a week. He told me the owner has several other restaurants in NOVA. What surprises me is that he or she was not on site. This location is going to be tricky to maintain if they don't pay closer attention. Black Fin was great, perfectly dependable food, big crowd draws and they couldn't survive. They should advertise more and offer kids eat free nights to the Westmoore and Metrowalk neighborhoods across the toll road. We'd love to see this restaurant stick around. read more

Came for brunch one Saturday morning with three of my friends. The restaurant is spacious and the decor is on brand with the Kentucky vibe. They have a variety of seating options from booths, to bar stools, to arm chairs, and regular chairs. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. I liked how they offered us some seasoned popcorn while we decided what to order. We decided to get a few dishes and share all of it, family style. We got the hot honey bourbon wings and the wings. The sauce was unique and delicious. The fried green tomatoes were a hit for everyone at our table. Chicken and waffles were pretty standard. Short rib hash was flavorful and tender. Eggs on top cooked perfectly. The tallow fries could have been crispier, but they very well seasoned, and I couldn't stop sticking my hand in the basket for more! Would definitely go back to try more items on the menu. read more

Visited for happy hour and so happy that I did. We sad at the bar and received great service. Restaurant is a pub-like design, very spacious, clean and ample seating. We wanted to try a little of everything and were pleased with our selections. The popcorn was a nice treat as we waited for our food. The shrimp and grit bites as well as the wings were good. But the star of the show was the short rib grilled cheese. It came with a garlic aioli which was good but I also added bbq sauce and that made it even better! This is so close to home so I know I'll be back to at least try out some of their desserts! read more

This could be a great place. Very comfortable inside. Food prices reasonable and happy hour and daily specials. I just don't like the parking situation - where constitutes free or how much. And they are aggressive on booting illegal cars here. read more

Just another mid-range bar food place with expensive menu items. $29 for 4 pieces of chicken with some of the toughest batter I've ever had, a clump of soggy fries, and mac and cheese ruined with truffle oil. I came because so many people were raving about the fried chicken. All I can assume is that they've never had even remotely good fried chicken if they're thinking this is the best they've had. My $.02, stick to Royal Farms. read more

Nice restaurant, decor is tasteful and on theme. Food was good and portions were large. The ale butter chicken comes with mashed potatoes, which wasn't mentioned on the menu. The cornbread stuffing shareable side is probably only enough for 2-3 people. Cornbread was free and served at our arrival. Went on a Tuesday at 6:30 and there was no wait. Preston was our waiter and was very attentive and nice. read more

I normally don't like to leave bad reviews, but this one really needs attention. I went for dinner on April 18. The service was good, I was seated right away. The food was mediocre. I had the fried chicken with a few sides. My favorite part was the Apple pie Mason jar. On Monday. May 11th I arrived from a trip and checked their closing time via Google, which said midnight. Delighted I figured I'd give them another try and order a couple of other items on their menu. I walked into Juleps at 1015 and the host, a young man told me the kitchen closed at 9:30. He proceeded to tell me the bar was not serving any more drinks either. I told him Google has them open until midnight which he paid no mind to and stated they were closed. For clarity, on their opening and closing times I called the restaurant today May 14 to confirm their hours. The hostess answered the phone. After her going around in circles as to what time they closed, continuously pausing, sounded like she was asking people around her as to what time they were going to close today she provided a time 11. I proceeded to ask her name in which she responded, I am just a hostess here. I told her I understood that, and if she could provide her name. She stayed quiet and hung up on me. I called back and this time a young man answered the phone with hello. He did not say the name of the restaurant when answering the phone. I explained the hostess hung up on me and he too stayed silent. I told him I had asked the hostess her name and again he stayed silent. I then proceeded to tell him I could go in and talk to the manager, but I'd prefer to just confirm here. (If they were speaking the truth I do not see what the reason was for not providing a name or even getting a manager to help. Truly lacking social and customer service skills). In looking over the reviews it seems like they have quite a bit of bad ones. I would think the managers might care especially being a new restaurant. It's too bad because I was really looking forward to this new spot. We were thinking of having luncheons there for work as well. Due to their lack of professionalism, extremely poor customer service, making up their own times for service, mediocre food experience and frankly, I think they just did not want to serve me that Monday. I won't be going in. It's not worth my time. read more

Fabulous experience! Finally a restaurant cooking with Beef Tallow, delish food, delectable cocktails and desserts. All homemade! The Fried Chicken is authentic with a lovely crunch, side of Brussel sprouts was my favorite I've ever had served in the cutest little cast iron pan, we started with the Deviled Duck Eggs-perfection and had the Venison Meatballs as well so rich with flavor in an amazing sauce. Pablo was our server, so attentive and he made our overall experience 5 Star! We will be coming again soon, can't wait to share this restaurant with other friends as well. read more

Ok, been here several times. They have gotten a lot better since my first time here on opening day. The food is tastier, and finally cooked hot enough. The service has gotten better, even though it's still a bit slow. I don't know if it's a lack of kitchen staff or servers, but on Friday night it seemed that every few minutes one item would come out. It took 45 min for an appetizer. Also seemed like the GM was the main one bringing out the food. I'll keep coming back with hopes it'll keep getting better! read more

I saw a social media advertisement and we thought we'd give it a go. They said they'd only been open a month. Upbeat and polite staff. They started us off with complimentary popcorn that had their dry rub on it. Tasty! They say it's the same rub used on their chicken wings. After 4 at tables, they serve warm cornbread with honey butter. So, so darn good! I had the Trout with cornbread dressing. My husband had the Chicken Caesar salad. Both were fantastic. Large portions seasoned well. The Chicken Caesar had a huge chicken cutlet underneath the salad. I viewed other entrees people had. Portions were generous. And their fries, OMG they looked Our waiter gave great insight into many dishes. They serve brunch as well, and have weekday specials worth checking out for sure! They will be giving local restaurants a run for sure. Reservations suggested. Plenty of seating in the bar area and adjacent community tables. There were about 4 sets of lovely club chairs with tables...great for a date! Loved the music, easy listening country playlist..go check it out! read more

This was our first time here, being a new restaurant- we experienced great customer service, great price point for the food with lots of variety from the drinks to appetizers to main dishes. It had the basics you'd want but also a few interesting outliers. We enjoyed the baked Brie, fried green tomatoes, and shrimp and grit bites for appetizers- the shrimp and grit bites were a favorite. For entrees, we enjoyed the filet mignon, rib eye and cheese sandwich, fried chicken, and shrimp and grits. The filet was tender and cooked perfectly, sandwich was perfect if you like steak and cheese, shrimp and grits had an interesting mix of peppers that almost gave it a fajita Cajun vibe, and the fried chicken came with so much bang for your buck- fries, coleslaw, and to die for mac and cheese. We had the reeses peanut butter pie for dessert which was rich and great to share for 4 people. read more

Amazing food. The crispy chicken sandwich you have to try. My date and her mother think the burgers were excellent and the shrimp and grits was amazing and so was the French onion soup read more

Service here is terrible, this place needs decent management to step in and help the servers. Drinks took 45 minutes to come out and arrived to the table just before the food. The restaurant was nowhere near capacity and it still took them that long to pump out 6 drinks. Insane. The food is well below average, lacked seasoning and half the entrees were cold. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

After spending a fair amount of time in Kentucky, we were happy to learn of this new restaurant. We ordered the fried chicken, which came with Gouda mac and cheese. We were very dissatisfied with the food! The fried chicken was extremely greasy, dark looking and had added hot spice. The mac and cheese also had hot spice added to it. True Kentucky southern style food does NOT come with added hot spices! Even the honey bourbon sauce had a jalapeño pepper on it! Regrettably, KFC makes better friend chicken! While we didn't try the shrimp and grits, it most likely was prepared with hot spices, the Cajun way, but NOT the Kentucky way. Conclusion: The restaurant is mis-named as the food is more Cajun than Kentucky. A positive was the corn bread. The service was average, but the ambience was delightful. read more

Have been several times since it opened. Found the food to be great and the service (previous bartenders) to be excellent. It just takes one bad service to ruin a good thing. Today, 3-10-26 after 2:50 pm was that one EXCEPTIONALLY BAD service. The bartender was very rude and disrespectful. If she was having a bad day she should have stayed home. Got up and left due to the hostile environment she created before I had a chance to even order a drink much less food! The manager just smirked and said 'Well this is the only complaint she's had'. Shocking, because I had previously written a 5 star review on Google and Yelp from our first visit. Really enjoyed this place prior to today. read more

Worst food I have ever eaten. Servers were. Poorly trained and rude. Burger and fries were overcooked and inedible Doesn't even deserve one star read more

This is a damn good place to eat. So happy another joint came in after the Black Finn shut down. The menu is varied and pretty extensive. For people like me who just want to eat, this place is great. Service was outstanding and the price is reasonable. I don't know why restaurants at Loudoun Station fail but hoping this one stays around. Change things up now and then. Don't forget it's the taste, not the name. Keep your focus on great food and advice to the owners, don't farm out the responsibility of running the place. Only owners care more than anything. Everyone else just wants a paycheck. Jason B Ashburn read more

This was our second time here. We went about a month ago and thought the service had a lot of problems. Well here we are a month later and the place has problems. The waitress was pretty fast to great us and take our drink order. We must have waited 20 minutes for the drinks to come out. And they weren't worth the wait. First time in 20 years I've seen an old fashioned served with little ice cubes. Either chug it or you have a glass of watered down bourbon. Pretty sad for a place that wants to be a bourbon bar. At least they mix well. My wife's martini was a complete disaster. Had ice in it and olive juice but no olives. She complained it also had a metallic taste. I will say the food was good. But because the service is just so lacking I had to give 2 stars. Ironically we thought they were just slow because of having what seemed 1 untrained waitress running around, but. Bunch of folks we ran j to o. The way out complained their waiter kind of rushed them out the door. I guess it's back to Clyde's for now on. read more

Horrible all around. And yes, I'm from KY. Restaurant was filthy, zero customer service, took 39 mins for an app, ordered iced tea, simple right? Never got it. App was terrible, zero flavor. I'm glad we left before I was disappointed by an actual meal. Plenty of staff but no direction. Do better!! read more

My family has been here several times and always enjoyed everything we have tried. Their menu is evolving which has given us opportunities to try many dishes, which has been great! Tonight we had the crispy goat cheese appetizer with spicy honey - so incredibly tasty, with the heat and sweet combined. For entrees my son had fried chicken, which I normally do not indulge in but I make an exception for this place (he's consistently ordered and loved it every time we've been here). My husband always gets the shrimp and grits because he's so hooked on them. I tried the salmon salad with avocado, strawberries, sprouts and strawberry rhubarb vinaigrette. This is not my normal type of pick but it was fabulous, including that the salmon was so well prepared and delicious! The service is always great too, Lily was a great server! We are definitely going to remain repeat customers and highly recommend this restaurant. read more
