The oysters were delicious but could have been a little bit more chilled. The shuckers were shucking as fast as they could trying to keep up with the orders. I the went back for a dozen grilled oysters. Excellent and rite off the grill, seasoned with herbs, cheeses and bacon! Their beers are delicious and I went for the blonde ale. Very tasty and not hoppy. Great atmosphere for outdoor seating. It was a loverly spring day in VA!

Bunnyman Brewery apparently took over the former Mustang Sally's location in Chantilly. Because…read moreYelp is treating this as the same business listing, my old, very positive review of Mustang Sally's is now being updated to reflect my considerably less positive view of Bunnyman. I have now been to two Bunnyman locations in Northern Virginia, and Chantilly appears to be their newest. I am deliberately not reviewing their beer. Instead, I would ask anyone considering this location to think about the experience Bunnyman has chosen to create around it. I strongly dislike the self-service beer model. For me, one of the great things about the rise of craft beer in America is that it brought a human element back to beer. Craft breweries are about innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship and small business. Part of that experience is talking with the person behind the taps and asking what is new, learning about a beer, getting a recommendation, or simply having a brief conversation with someone who knows what they are pouring. At Bunnyman, much of that has been replaced by technology. You hand over a credit card at check-in and receive an electronic card that records what you pour for yourself. When you are finished, you return to the counter and settle the bill. That may be efficient, but to me it feels contrary to much of what made American craft beer appealing in the first place. Instead of someone behind the taps helping create an experience around the beer, the customer essentially operates the dispensing system. What made my earlier experiences with Bunnyman particularly strange was being presented with a tipping option at the end. The person at the check-in area seemed largely occupied with their phone and had virtually no interaction with us. When I declined to leave a tip, I received what certainly appeared to be a look of annoyance. I am generally a strong supporter of craft breweries precisely because they represent American innovation, entrepreneurship and independently minded small businesses. But innovation should not simply mean removing the human beings who traditionally make a taproom welcoming and interesting. I had a high regard for Mustang Sally's and rated it accordingly. Bunnyman may have found an efficient way to sell beer in the same space, but for me the experience is a significant step backward. It may be an efficient way to dispense craft beer. I am not convinced it is a better way to experience it.

If you like real breweries, focused on great beer, run by the owners and not burning $ on unfocused things...Hawkley is the spot. The Deep State NEIPA is one of the best beers I've had in '26.

First time here and came for trivia night!…read more Drinks: Beer- good and large selection on tap! Coffee- very good! Liked that they offer coffee now! I guess it's pretty new as they are starting to offer brunch! Service: The owner helped me to find two seats at the bar since it was packed for trivia night. Bartender Mario was great and kept us taken care of. Ambiance: Mostly all tall tables for seating and it was packed the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and for trivia.

Pretty good actually 2.75/5 Raito - surprisingly good grilled cheese, wish it was warmer but the blend is nice 3/5 Minnesota - more of a standard not so great grilled cheese but good with drinks. 2.25/5 Fries upgrade was worth but not that great of fries. Just boring nothing special 2.25/5 Audacious Oktoberfest platter - not sure if I like this sausage. It's soft and has some spices but a little off? Sauerkraut a bit too sour and potatoes fine but boring 2/5

Bike Lane Brewing Café -- 9/10…read more Such a cute spot with a really nice, laid-back atmosphere! I had a cup of wine and really enjoyed it. The service was great too -- everyone was attentive, friendly, and welcoming. My favorite part is definitely how cyclist-friendly this place is. I LOVE that you can access it right from the bike trail, which makes it such a perfect stop during or after a ride. Great atmosphere, great service, and such a cool concept. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially on a cycling day!

The service the few times we've popped by (mainly for coffee) has been questionable. Customer service is definitely not a priority. Coffee was excellent so I'll prolly pop by again while at Skatequest. I'd be interested in trying the food too. They have sandwiches and pho (apparently).

The staff was very helpful and friendly. We came here before a nearby concert to kill some time and…read moreget some food in our stomachs. I liked that you could request music to be played but you did have to download an app and sign up for it. The music was also uncomfortably quiet. Like hard to hear even though it wasn't loud in there. After sitting down we immediately ordered the bacon cheese fries. I love the self serve because I got to try a few things, I also love that there were a lot of non beer options! I originally got a cocktail at the bar which the bartender made because I love watermelon schnapps and it was well priced. Next I tried the pineapple cider and it was delicious. Me and my sister also got some green tea shots from the wall which were delicious. We also tried the walls blue Hawaiian which was good but I'd prefer it over ice. After almost an hour of waiting for our food we got nervous it wasn't coming so I went and asked at the bar. As the girl was checking, they came out. We had to ask for the side of ranch that was supposed to come with them and I'd I'm glad I did because it was delicious, tasted like it was made in house. Now the fries were burnt and not good. At this point we'd waited so long and wanted to head over to the venue so we just ate them. Over all I would definitely go back for the drinks, maybe bring a game to play but I wouldn't come here for the food. Especially if there's a concert that night nearby.

An absolute solid beer and pizza…read more I had the Volcano Sauce, which is the perfect sour. Ambiance is casual - lots of people had brought games to play on the picnic tables outside. They had a large tent in the back, which provided ideal shade. There is a bike rack by the tables in the courtyard area, which is great for those who roll in off the W&OD. There are arcade games to occupy kids or adults as well in Izzy's. Service is chill - everything was brought over to us ordered via QR code which is nice for a large group to be able to independently order.
