Had a very pleasant experience at Red Horse Tavern! Came with a group of folks and everyone enjoyed their food. The service was quick and friendly, and they kept my diet coke constantly refilled. The onion rings were especially good, so I highly recommend trying those. My sandwich was also tasty and. hit the spot. If you can snag a seat on the patio, it makes for some good people watching! read more

We stopped into Middleburg for the day to check it out. Stumbled across this place for lunch. It was PACKED but we got a seat inside. It's a really cute little bar/restaurant. Has some historical roots. The service was great. I ordered the fish and chips, which were very tasty. My fiance ordered the burger which was phenomenal and my mom ordered the Reuben (delicious). Everything was good! My family also ordered a couple beers which they all enjoyed. Overall, everything was great. Servers/Bartenders were super nice. Thank you Red Horse Tavern!! read more

We ate here on Saturday and unfortunately witnessed behavior that completely ruined our experience. On more than one occasion, patrons of the restaurant were loudly heckling and directing racist remarks at people both outside and inside the restaurant. At one point, four women (pictured) were screaming "this is America" at a couple who weren't even inside the restaurant. It was aggressive, inappropriate, and clearly racially charged. What was even more disturbing was that restaurant employees appeared to encourage or at least condone this behavior instead of shutting it down. It was shocking to witness and created an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere. No establishment should allow this kind of conduct from its patrons, especially when it crosses into open hostility and racism. read more

5/13/26 about 1:00 PM. Ordered an Alpine Burger, the fries had what looked like maggots on them, likely it was cooked rice. Really gross and turned my stomach. Cleanliness and cross contamination seems to be a huge issue at Red Horse. Manager offered no apology and seemed to have an attitude problem. Red Horse is off the list of places take my lunch break at moving forward. read more

We were trying to get into the holiday spirit by visiting the shops in Middleburg when hunger struck and found this place. It's your typical bar style setting and food. The space is on the smaller. It's good for those drinking at the bar who don't mind standing but for dining there's only a few tables. The employees here are very nice and efficient. We didn't have to request refills or anything. They were constantly stopping by but not overdoing it where you couldn't enjoy your food. Surprisingly for bar food they had a lot to offer on the menu. However I did ask what's a go to that can never be a bad pick and was pointed towards the burgers. So glad I picked it because it was pretty good. The other people at my table picked between wings and nachos. They said it was just okay but for what it was, it wasn't terrible. All and all I find that it's a good stop for some quick food and it's not too expensive either so a win. read more

Decent, very casual spot right in the heart of Middleburg. This spot gets really busy really quick. They have a variety of soups, sandwiches, salads, so it's a perfect lunch spot and very reasonably priced. Nothing is fancy - plastic cups, baskets, grilled cheese with American cheese, etc but it's simple and hits the spot. read more

Right in the center of downtown Middleburg, this location is so convenient. The food and service were also great! We came in for dinner on a Tuesday night. For appetizers, we got the sampler basket of fried fish, onion rings, fries and cheese jalapeño. There were not many fries, maybe 2 or 3 which was a bit lacking. But everything tasted amazing, especially the onion rings. Love that it came with three dipping sauces, there was a cocktail sauce, sweet honey mustard and ranch. We had the grilled salmon and cheesesteak for entrees. The grilled salmon was good, came with some veggies and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were very bland, missing butter and cream. It's pretty much straight up mashed potatoes. The cheesesteak was tasty and moist and cheesy. The server came by to check up on us many times to make sure our drinks were refilled and everything was good. The overall cleanliness of the restaurant can be improved but the food and staff were all very attentive. read more

I Came here a couple years ago after hiking and didn't like my fish and chips. Thought to try again, today. My Cuban (and fries), was good. They were hot, had seasoning and flavor. Tight seating whether inside or outside. Very busy, so try to be patient. Employees were nice to me and my daughter in-law today. read more

The Red Horse Tavern is a definite must visit. The food was fantastic, they allow dogs on the patio which was fantastic we got to bring our dog shadow with us for dinner. The service was top notch always on time for a refill of your drink. The whole vibe of the place is cute, quiet, in a little town. Just spectacular!!! 10/10 read more

Red Horse Tavern - Buffalo chicken wrap - Pubs Near Me - Middleburg, Virginia

A nice little place on the corner in Middlesburg, VA - A great little bedroom community not far from DC. We came for late lunch after the main lunch rush as we were wandering. Super hot out, so we decided to venture inside to look for seating. We were sat right away and the bar tender took our drink order upon us sitting down. I had a cider and my wife had a Blue Moon draught. The menu is pretty much pub food. We both ordered burgers of sort. I had the Irish burger, which had a fried egg on it. Came with fries. Food was pretty good. Not a bad size crowd. No live music while we were there, but they do have it. Good vibe, good food, good service. Recommended while in M'burg. read more

Red Horse Tavern - Buffalo chicken wrap - Pubs Near Me - Middleburg, Virginia

Came here on a Saturday afternoon, and was intrigued because of how busy this spot was. And we were not disappointed! We ordered the Santa Fe wrap and turkey club sandwich, totaling under $30 for both. The portion sizes were good, and I felt like the wrap was surprisingly flavorful. Would come back if in the area! read more

Amazing space, great service, Sam is the best he remembers our faces and goes above and beyond.

We have been here numerous times. Never had an issue. Today makes me question ever going back. Waiter brought our drinks quickly. Mine had a dead fly in it. I immediately point it out to Brad. Brad takes it away and comes back with a new drink. Based on his attitude (he never apologized for the fly at all) I don't know if he just fished the fly out or what so I don't touch it. He never comes back to the table once to ask if we need anything. Not once, but I did see him do this to other tables. We watched as they brought our food to another table just for them to realize it after a few minutes. Then they bring my wife two chicken strips they forgot to put on her plate. We were so over the whole experience we didn't bother to complain. If your waiter is Brad....good luck. read more

If you are in Middleburg for the day and thinking of eating at the Red Horse Tavern.................highly recommend you don't! So wish I had checked Yelp b4 we came here................Or at least if you do eat here recommend you avoid the mussels which are so overcooked (hard and rubbery) it's impossible to get them out of their shell, broth is like red colored tasteless water and toasted baguette is actually half a dozen very very thinly sliced hard baguettes ($17). Bruschetta which should also be avoided is slightly warmed-up (not toasted) slices of baguette buried in grated cheese and swimming in balsamic ($9)............where did this chef learn his trade??????????? Pulled pork incredibly bland ($12). $2.75 Lemonade and $2 Ice Tea with no refills. Expect flies in restaurant which come in everytime door is opened. All servers were male and not one of them asked us if our meal was OK even though mussels and bruschetta sat on table pretty much untouched.........in fact after our order was delivered they never came near us again except to present the $50 bill! One plus.......... bus boys very pleasant. Chef: Read and Learn......................https://flavorycooking.com/what-happens-when-you-cook-mussels-too-long/ read more

The food is fantastic, not your typical tavern food. The staff is unbelievable and extremely accommodating to customers requests. Plenty of street parking and the ambiance in this old historic town is great !! It's one of our favorite places to eat at. On weekends, they have live entertainment too !! read more

Excellent service, delicious food and nice comfortable ambiance. Great, quick, efficient service.

Proper nice little establishment. The steak and cheese was good in taste and portion size, with some crispy french fries. It's a small space. You're almost in the laps of diners when you walk in, definitely conveying the old time British supper pub vibe. Also got a cup of the chili that came with cheese on top. Very good for cold weather. Parking is tough, and street parking is competitive. read more

Service was awesome. Everyone was very nice. Charming place. The food however..... we both felt ill shortly after eating. I would not recommend eating there, I feel awful writing a bad review, but the food was that bad. Meat was overcooked stuck together like a hockey puck in some places in the Shepherds pie & the bread that came with it was a sub roll. The fish & chips was all bread & no fish. And now our romantic anniversary is cut short by two stomach aches. I am really sorry to the staff for having to write this. If you want to catch a drink with great service then definitely go. read more

Had an appointment late day on a Tuesday in Middleburg, VA and not many restaurants open. Decided to try the Red Horse Tavern. Chose to eat inside with potential for rain. Food was good, staff friendly and very attentive, prices reasonable, but the establishment really needs a very deep cleaning. Had to use the restroom before leaving and couldn't help but worry what the kitchen must look like after seeing the condition of the bathroom. Rating a 2, but if they clean things up and keep it that way, could easily be a 4 with location, menu and staff. Thought Middleburg was upscale. read more

This place is fantastic. Best bar food you'll find anywhere. The menu has tons of options, but the specials are ridiculously good. If you get really lucky they'll have the Chicken Parm sub, or the Grilled Salmon BLT on. They are both delicious. There's usually a bunch of homemade soup specials as well, they are all great. The service is excellent. The bartenders work as a team for all the tables so you don't have to wait for a drink or to order. They also have the best outdoor space in town. The patio is super dog friendly. They have plenty of water bowls and you can even order an unseasoned dog chicken, or steak for your furry friend. Live music every Saturday, and Sunday. This spot is hands down the best for locals and visitors alike. Love it! read more

Red Horse Tavern - Grilled cheese with tomato and fried pickles - Pubs Near Me - Middleburg, Virginia

We stopped in for lunch on the recommendation of staff from the National Sporting Library and Museum. The outside tables were comfortable, and we were welcomed with menus immediately. Service was excellent - timely but not rushed -, and the food was well-seasoned and made with care. Everyone in the group enjoyed their food; one out-of-towner said it was the best she had eaten during her visit to the area. I enjoyed my chicken panini, while the others enjoyed a Cobb salad, a chicken burrito, and bruschetta. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you are visiting Middleburg. read more

Wandered over to Red Horse Tavern on a nice almost-summer evening in May. We were seated at a table outside quickly, and then started perusing the touch less menu via a QR code. Got the potato chip nachos and enjoyed them. Homemade potatoes chips sliced thicker than a typical chip but with crunch and enough structure to hold up the melted cheese blend, sour cream, and and tomato topping. The menu mentioned diced tomatoes and that wasn't quite the case, but this was a unique dish that kept us munching till our entrees arrived. This isn't a fancy place (which I think is a good thing) but servers are attentive with several people checking in on us over the course of our meal but food quality was good. We got the grilled flank steak salad, with one ordered medium and the other medium rare. Both came out as ordered and set in front of the right person, which doesn't seem to happen at restaurants too much these days without a server awkwardly standing next to your table looking confused and holding two dishes until you claim what you ordered. Prices very reasonable and while we didn't have room for dessert this time, would definitely go back! read more

My husband and I visited Red Horse Tavern on our way out of Middleburg, back to DC, this past Thursday afternoon for lunch. We discovered the restaurant the evening before, when driving back into town from visiting a winery and noticed the front patio was packed and looked like a bunch of fun. Lunch was no different. We arrived around 12:30 PM where only a couple of outdoor tables were occupied. Upon arrival, we noticed a sign asking for patience with food delivery as RHT is understaffed - so sit back and enjoy the dining experience. Managing our expectations, we sat ourselves and was quickly asked for our drink and appetizer order. As we waited for our beverages, RHT quickly filled up with tourists, locals, and folks grabbing take out. We ordered the Jalapeño Poppers for an appetizer, the Buffalo Chicken Salad and The Glennwood Wrap for our entrees. My husband had to take a work call while we were waiting for our order and the servers did not seem to mind us taking a while to get through our food and everything was timed perfectly. Overall, our experience was incredibly pleasant and the food was very good! So I was a bit shocked when I saw a few of the past reviews complaining of the service and attitudes. I thought RHT did a great job explaining they are a small business and wasn't staffed at full capacity - trying to handle the demand of Salamander tourists & local, everyday orders. The incredible weather and plethora of dogs surrounding us didn't hurt the ambience carried throughout RHT's vibe. If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere with great food staples - grab a table at RHT for an experience vs rushed nourishment. read more

The salads are good, burgers can be a bit on the heave side at times, but still good. Yes, the building was originally a house, so do expect the layout to be that of a restaurant. The patio is dog friendly if your dog is well behaved, and can get busy if the weather is nice out. read more

Went around 3pm on a Monday (holiday) and it was a steady of flow of people in and out. We ordered wraps with tots and sweet potato fries. They were great! The portions were nice. We enjoyed! We would return. Two lunch's for less than $30 seemed like a steal in Middleburg. read more

Food below average in flavor, size and presentation. Plastic plates and cups. Was seated in a sun room, where windows were disgustingly dirty with dead flies and spider nets. Bathroom dirty as well. I wanted to walk out after ordering appetizers, but decided to try a main course which was equally disappointing. read more

We stopped in on a Saturday evening after visiting some wineries in the area. The service was great, we were seated and greeted promptly. The food was so-so. I ordered the starter Caesar Salad and the entree mussels and my wife had a Cobb Salad. The salads were okay. The mussels were lackluster though. The sauce was too salty and the bread that came with it was just some store-bought breadsticks tossed on top. For a Middleburg restaurant, I expected at least a homemade baguette or some other rustic bread. Overall not bad, but not stellar either. :-/ read more

Red Horse is a bit divvy looking and certainly not elegant. But the food is far better than one would expect in a place like this. A cuban sandwich was made with all the right ingredients and actually pressed while Shepard's Pie was well prepared. Good prices too. Not worth a trip but for a reasonably priced, decent meal in a fru-fru town, Red Horse is pretty good. read more
