    Some ketchup for the fries. Fish is very tasty.
    Chris M.

    I have been to this place a few times over the years. We were looking for a restaurant everyone would like and The Old Brogue was what was decided upon. Plus it was a celebration of a few July birthdays (mine included) I believe there are a couple entrances...I went in the one right off the parking lot. I was seated toward the back of the bar area. The waitress comes over and I order a Solace Partly Cloudy on tap. She brings 4 glasses of water as well (always a good idea). After a bit the other three arrive and we're looking at the menu. I decided to split the fish and chips with someone. Another Solace....the food arrives and we're all enjoying dinner. The menu is pretty extensive, Irish dishes are the majority of what they make. Lots and lots of bourbon and whiskey choices. See the Old Brogue Happiness guide. With how busy the bar area was we received good service. Food was hot and orders came out right. It will be ago to if people travel to my area and want to grab a bite.

    Lovely patio to sit outside in gorgeous weather to visit and eat with friends. Tried new dishes and everything was great. The chicken in the crispy chicken Cobb was so good.

    if we could give this a zero star we would this was the I have ever experienced. We ordered out which were average at best. And they literally never asked us for our entrées. We literally watched an entire NBA game before they came back and we had to wave them down. Please do not come. I'm actually begging you. This is a from a victim.

    Traditional Irish Breakfast

    It's completely tucked away and completely charming as you walk up to it AND of course it was decked out for St Patrick's Day! We went because I was in the mood for a full Irish fry-up (eggs, sausage, beans, mushrooms and tomatoes) - I think it goes by many other names - but it is a hearty breakfast and something I miss from my study-abroad days... nearly 20 years ago! Goodness I'm old! ... Anyway, it was pretty darn good. The black and white sausage was delicious and the over easy eggs were cooked perfectly - I passionately dislike when yolk gets solid and there was none of that - just a pocket of ooey gooey golden deliciousness that was the perfect sauce for everything on my plate. I personally prefer my mushrooms and tomatoes to be fried, but they still dressed up the tomato a little and I think it would have been much better if they were in season - basically no flavor, which I think frying would have resolved. I also prefer toast over potatoes but that is a personal preference and I am sure they would have subbed if I had asked. The breakfast was solid though and went perfectly with my coffee and pint of Guinness! My husband got the Rueben, which he said was very good, top 5, and he has eaten like 50 different ones, so I would say that is pretty decent I would definitely try this place again, maybe for dinner and some live music on the weekend - but I do have a few constructive points: 1) the condiments on the tables looked like they hadn't been wiped down in quite some time - now it was THE Holiday this weekend for Irish pubs in the U.S. so maybe, maybe, it was just due to how busy they were - but the malt vinegar was so bad we wouldn't touch it. 2) My food was very good, there were serious high notes that it hit, BUT it was all rather lukewarm - again, maybe due to the crowd, willing to give it another shot... 3) Not sure if there is anything they can do about it, but if you sit on the wrong side of the enclosed patio, your view is of a port-a-potty... not exactly appetizing. I guess if you get that spot, like I did, don't look around ‍ stare straight ahead at your dining partner...

    Good hearty Steak and Egg brunch next to a cozy fireplace. Quick service with fun staff. Back soon.

    Got charged $14 for a martini and this is what they gave us. Food was mediocre. 2 stars instead of 1 because the waitress was extremely nice.

    California Turkey Club
    Billy T.

    Came here on a Saturday for the first time for lunch with a big group of friends without calling ahead and was given a table quite quickly. I hadn't really tried any of the restaurants in the Village, and this was a solid introduction. I ordered the California turkey club, which was tasty but did not blow me away. Pricing is about average by Great Falls standards - expect to pay about $20-25 a person if you order just an entree. Service was good across the board, and food came out in time. Solid establishment, as a whole.

We didn't find anyone after a while, so we sat ourselves in the bar area, and waited a bit longer until someone noticed us. Surprising for noon on a weekday, it was almost empty, and we thought it might have been closed at first. Once we got someone's attention things proceeded better. The chilli was fantastic. Tomatoey, not too spicy, thick and hearty. The North Philly Cheese steak was interesting. Lots of meat, not a lot of cheese, large serving. Forgot to order mayo so it was a little dry for me. Wings were good, nothing special to write home about. Overall, it's a nice place to get lunch. The food is good. Would like to see what it's like with more people and staff sometime.

He went for the Jambalaya Pasta and I opted for the hickory grilled fresh fish. I missed out on the Mahi Mahi as we were talking too long. So I wound up with Corvina fish. Still flaky and delicious. His dish definitely looked amazing served in a large bowl with a lot of shrimp and sausage. Mine was served over a vegetable bed of rice. The small amounts of goat cheese were a nice touch as I don't enjoy large amounts as it is so rich. The vinaigrette was really a great flavor with the fish - very different! Thanks to the staff that allowed us to sit there for well over two hours so awesome to not be rushed, pestered or treated like we were an inconvenience. Looking forward to my next trip maybe I score the Mahi Mahi!

The ambiance was very relaxing and not noisy or chaotic. I really appreciated that because that is hard to find nowadays.

They seated us at a table that was too small, I have a tall son and boyfriend. Without hesitation they moved us to another table. The menu is not 500 pages like some restaurants. We started with Fried Green Tomatoes and Onion Rings... The FGT were so delicious! It came with Goat Cheese and Green Goddess, the best thing I've ever tasted! I will definitely be a frequent flyer for this reason alone. I had the Scallop Risotto which was amazing!!!!! My son ate his entire meal which is rare. My bf didn't know what to choose and ended up getting 2 meals and finishing both. He had the Lamb Chops... After trying a bite, my life was changed. It was so tender and delicious. Melted in your mouth. Our waiter Kevin was top notch. He was very attentive and even made sure to prepare a birthday treat for my mom. Which was a surprise! I asked to speak to a manager, which I like to do so they know when they are doing good, not just getting the complaints. Usually when I ask for a manager the waiter gets an attitude, but Kevin wasn't concerned in the least. The manager came over and looked nervous. I told him it was the best experience we've had in a while when dining out. My only complaint... The lighting in the bathroom is basically non existent (the manager is aware and he said they are actively working on it). So all in all, you have to visit Founding Farmers in Reston.

John R is an outstanding bartender who knows his craft, is very nice and really just enjoyable to talk to and be around. He takes the time to ask how you're doing, and he'll remember your name after your first visit. The bar has a wonderful selection of drinks, and they're all different and interesting. Most are not just standard classic drinks, but rather ones that feature a spin on such drinks. For example, they don't just serve an old fashioned, because everyone's had one, but they have a coconut old fashioned that is unique and I'd definitely recommend that one. Their food a little pricier than other options around, but it is very good. You can tell the their food is made from scratch, and the quality of ingredients is very apparent, and for that, I do pay their prices. Their coffee and pastries are amazing, sometimes I just go for a little morning coffee and donut break. Try their Jefferson donuts, simply amazing. If you're in the area, this is a great place to stop by, no matter time of day. Grab coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner or happy hour, you won't be disappointed.

There was one concert where there was a shelter-in-place order, prior to the concert. We decided to risk it and luckily the storm passed. I will say, the DC crowd is much hardier than LA. If there was even a rain drop in the forecast, nobody would show up in SoCal. But in DC, people will ride the storm. On our previous visit, it was a full-on downpour nobody abandoned their spots.

I prefer my steak medium-rare, and it came out very rare, though it did have a nice sear to it. Honestly, this didn't bother me much, just the first thing I noticed. What did bother me was a thick slab of what I'm guessing was silver skin that hadn't been properly removed from the steak. I couldn't even cut through it with the provided steak knife. I ended up having to slice horizontally to get any meat off. A lot more effort than it was worth. We were out for a nice evening, so we ordered some dessert options as well. Those also took forever, but were pretty yummy. A better end to the meal than I was expecting.
