Definitely make reservations before you go because this place gets packed! We ordered the chicken biscuit gravy with chorizo, and it was absolutely delicious. We also had the MMT Breakfast, which gave us a little sample of everything. The homemade biscuits were amazing, and the bacon was not that cheap, flimsy kind -- it was thick, flavorful, and so good that we added extra bacon. The price was just right, the ambiance was great, and even though parking can be a challenge, the staff was super helpful in telling us where we could park. It's also not far from DCA airport and close to other great restaurants and scenery. I hate that I forgot to take pictures of our meal, but we were so hungry and the food was too good to stop! We will definitely be back for brunch, and this is officially becoming a regular brunch spot for us. Cheers to next time!

I finally got a chance to try this restaurant and I must say it's a bit overhyped. The staff were…read moreamazing, from the hostess and host to the food runners and everyone in between. Clearly people love it as there was a wait the whole time we were there and the restaurant was packed. I loved my drink, the Taipei Punch. I would definitely order that again. I got the French Toast and it was mid at best. It just wasn't flavorful. My friend got the steak and eggs. Likewise she was underwhelmed. The presentation/plating is great, but when it came down to it, the meal was just ok. Perhaps another dish will change my mind, but I won't be rushing back to find out.

Tasty too. Best view of the water in Old Town (next to Barca).

The actual restaurant feels massive but decorated in a rustic way. I want to give a huge shout out to Alicia. She is such a knowledgeable, approachable, and receptive server. She was on top of refilling drinks, making sure we weren't left alone for too long when we were waiting for our food to come, and just had an overall amazing energy. While we really enjoy all of the servers we've had at Mikes, Alicia takes the cake. If there's any way to provide her with recognition, I would highly vouch for it. She could sell me anything on that menu with that kind of personality! Thank you, Alicia! I'm going to make sure we try to get seated at your table again.

I visited Mike's American after coming across it on Resy and was able to get a same-day reservation…read morefor two on Easter Sunday. As expected, it was busy, but the restaurant does have a fairly large parking lot which made arrival easier. The setup was interesting. After checking in downstairs, I was given a ticket and directed upstairs for seating. I took the elevator, which offered a clear view of the kitchen below as it ascended... definitely a unique touch. Upstairs, another host staff guided us to our table. The space had a lively feel, roaring with chatter from customers, and I could see parts of the kitchen where food was being prepared over an open flame, which added to the overall atmosphere. For the food, we started with the calamari. It was cooked well and had a nice texture, especially paired with the crispy onion shoestrings, which added a good crunch and flavor. It was served over a lobster sauce, although the lobster flavor wasn't very noticeable. The main issue was the salt level... it was quite heavy! I did enjoy it overall, but I would only recommend it to someone who doesn't have to watch their sodium intake. For entrées, I ordered the steak cooked medium with broccolini. The dish automatically comes with mashed potatoes, and while I was able to substitute the salad for broccolini, there didn't seem to be flexibility with the potatoes. After tasting the mashed potatoes, I wish I was offered to substitute it as it tasted like the brown box we grew up on where you just added water. When the food came out, the steak was closer to medium-well or well done rather than medium, and both the mashed potatoes and broccolini were a bit cold. I chose not to send it back since we waited but it did affect the overall experience. My guest ordered the ribs with fries and coleslaw. The ribs were well-prepared--tender with a clean pull off the bone--and were probably the highlight of the meal. The fries were also very good and came out hot. The coleslaw wasn't as well received, described as having too many of the tougher parts of the cabbage. Overall, the experience had some positives, especially in terms of atmosphere and certain menu items like the ribs and fries. While I did enjoy parts of the meal, it's not somewhere I would personally return to, but it may be worth trying once to form your own opinion.

Even though it was quite crowded, everything felt very well organized. The wait time to be seated was reasonable, and the staff were warm and welcoming from the start. Our waiter, Lorena, truly stood out. She was incredibly patient and accommodating while we took our time deciding what to order, and she was very helpful in guiding us through the menu. On top of that, she had such a pleasant and positive attitude that made the whole experience even better. As for the food--it did not disappoint. I had the salmon, which I would absolutely recommend. My daughter ordered the steak frites with French fries, which was excellent, and my other daughter had the same dish with mashed potatoes. Everything was so good that we left our plates embarrassingly clean. We'll definitely be coming back. And if you happen to get Lorena as your server, you're in for a genuinely great dining experience.

It's semi-casual but also has an appeal for classier settings (work events). If you're looking for a cool vibe and just an all-around good time in Alexandria, this is your spot. The menu is consistently on point -- the quinoa salad is money, the poke bowl is always a solid. Beer, Cocktails, and whiskey selections are the best in the city. It's one of those places where you can keep coming back and still find something you're excited to order. It's also a really fun date spot, lively without being too loud, great energy, and just the right mix of casual and upscale to make it feel special without trying too hard. Special shoutout to Alex and Tara, who are wonderful in every aspect along with the rest of the staff. Thanks, Virtue, keep up the great times for the people of the city.

Upon entering the restaurant, first impression was that it was clean compared to other sports bars. We reserved the private room which was comfortable. Usually when I frequent sports bars, I have a hard time finding something on the menu that I find appetizing. Well, not here! I've been a fan of mushrooms since childhood and so the mushroom ravioli stood out to me and it was delicious! It's a hefty portion if you add additional protein. Too bad I forgot my to-go container and noticed when I was nearly home :( I tried my friend's Fish & Chips which were equally delicious and perfectly crispy. I'll come back to get my own plate of Fish & Chips and French Onion Soup. The White Russian was especially well-done. They also had St. Patrick's Day specials and while I don't think I would try the Sparkling Shamrock in the future though enjoyed that they had fun options to try. I also am appreciative that there are a handful of non-alcoholic options for someone like me who gets easily flushed. This was my first non-alcoholic beer I've tried and am a fan. The restroom is a bit awkward; upon entering the women's restroom, there is only a single stall and not sure if there is a lock mechanism - anyone can enter and could enter the stall if you aren't holding the stall door restroom. Otherwise the restroom is well maintained and clean. +Mushroom Ravioli-wild mushroom ravioli sautéed with fresh spinach, pancetta, mushrooms, tomato and onions in a sherry-parmesan cream sauce, topped with parmesan cheese w/ shrimp +Fish & Chips-handcut cod filets dipped in beer batter and golden fried, served with hand cut fries, coleslaw and a malt vinegar tartar sauce +Salted Caramel White Russian-Salted caramel vodka, kailua, salted caramel syrup, cream, shaken over ice with a garlic of salted caramel popcorn +Sparkling Shamrock-Vanilla vodka, dark creme de menthe, white creme de cocoa, cream, edible glitter +Erdinger Non-Alcoholic Beer

I ordered the City Burger with sautéed mushrooms and onions, and whew... this was a good burger. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right so every bite felt intentional. The toppings were perfectly sautéed, adding that extra depth without overpowering the meat. The hand-cut fries deserve their own shout-out--crispy, golden, and delicious. You can always tell when fries are actually cut in-house, and these definitely passed the test. Fat Cat Kitchen is a great stop when you're craving a quality burger with no frills, just flavor. I'll be back to explore more of the menu!
