    What we tried Located in oldtown Winchester, the Union Jack is a nice spot to grab a quick bite and a pint. Standard pub food, nothing special Good service, yet felt performative. Front area has regular tables, bar seati g plus high tops in the back. On the walking mall, so no nearby parking What we tried: Chicken ceasar wrap Smashburger My Rating Rationale: +.5 Service +1 Food (Taste/Flavor/Quality) +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/Vibe +1 Value

    Unfortunately, we had a mixed experience at The Union Jack. The restaurant is in the heart of downtown Winchester and there is indoor and outdoor dining. The service was very friendly and we were served quickly. I ordered the Tikka Masala which was delicious. It had the perfect amount of heat and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. However, my wife had the fish and chips--which you would expect to be on par as it's a British restaurant--but sadly it was not very good. The mushy peas were cold, the fries were soggy, and the coleslaw had gone bad. Sadly, it made for a poor experience. We would like to try this place again to give it another chance, but with so many other restaurants in the area we probably wouldn't.

    This is my go to spot whenever I'm in Winchester. No actually it's my first stop after I check into my hotel. The fish and chips here. Remind me of England. Rounded off with a Guinness and "Bob's your uncle", you're back gazing at the Thames river.

    Always a good time at UJ. Always have great service and a good time. Food was hot. Fries salted well. Will be back again.

    Fish & Chips

    In Winchester for a doctor's appointment and wanted to grab lunch before the drive home. I didn't scroll long before deciding I wanted to eat here. Total win for the day!! Easy parking (reasonable cost - two bucks) at the Braddock Autopark. The inviting vibe, fun decor, super friendly staff, seating by the fireplace, the FISH & CHIPS - fish the size of my forearm - my friend's Rachel sandwich made to order.... will be back!! Thank you!!

    Excellent! I had the French dip & mashed potatoes & gravy it was excellent! My son had the BBQ wings & Mac n cheese... the Mac n cheese was out of this world! Can't wait to come back for dinner! Congratulations Jason & crew! Love the old vibes that you brought back!!!!

    Yes back again...with apparently a wonderful mysterious drink lol Trying out the soups and salads rich we're a sweet cream choice.

    Food (2/5): We ordered a salad and tacos and weren't wowed by either. The salad was decent but nothing special. The street tacos were so small, that we went elsewhere to eat. We don't like seafood so we didn't get their fish and chips (what they're known for). The quality has gone down hill over the years. We haven't returned since due to them always being out of menu items and small portions.

And even went out of our way when driving from DC to Pittsburgh to stop and eat here on the way home. So when I found out I'd be in Leesburg which was about an hour away, I already decided I was going. And the guy I was with 21 years ago on that trip agreed to drive 90 minutes from where he was to meet me here. Was it worth it? Hellllllllll yessssss!!! These are the best ribs I've ever had in my life. No doubt in my mind. I'd go back again in a heartbeat if I was within decent driving distance. Other stuff is good too... the Mac n Cheese was amazing and the onion rings were pretty good too. Same with the mozzarella sticks. They were hand cut and various sizes which made us fight over them. Fun for them, I'm sure. Bottom line, go here for ribs! I got the standard sauce but they also have a spicy version. Great place and great ribs.

We looked around the marketplace and checked out a few menus along the way and then checked out Cork St Tavern, none of us had ever eaten there before, my friend's sister had and she liked it. One friend had the crab cakes and me and another friend had the French Dip. My friend raved over the Brussel Sprouts, he just loved them I loved the taste of the French Dip and the mashed potatoes, you could tell they were homemade. I'd love to come back and try other items on the menu.

Maybe 12 people seated in the entire room. Took our seats... we were approached after 10 mins. Menus. Waited another 10 minutes. Bartender asks for our order. We ordered our food and he responded, "I wanted your drink order". Really?! Ordered four glasses of water and two apps. We asked for one app to be divided on two plates, bartender said "I'm not gonna do that. They're (kitchen) busy". We sucked down our food and water, asked for the check twice due to being on a time constraint. Dude never acknowledged. My husband finally stopped the bartender, asked for his name. "Brian/Bryan" while walking away. We left enough cash on the bar to cover our bill with a generous tip just so we could get out of there. Worse dining experience we've had an extremely long time. Bryan/Brian's attitude was nothing shy of being inconvenienced. Won't ever return!

Garlic parmesan and spicy carribean jerk didn't have much taste like their names We came here to grab dinner on Friday evening. It was somewhat busy but we got a table right away. The interior was pretty nice, had a giant bar at the back side and also a separate space with one billiard board and couple of shuffle boards. There were TVs all around playing the World Cup game. The AC was broken, so they had some air blowers pumping air. They were really a burger place with the menu having 50 different types of burgers. They had chili, salad and wings too. I ordered the 10 jumbo wings, which were roasted style with moist soft meat inside. I got the garlic parmesan and spicy Caribbean jerk sauces on the side, but none of tasted like their names. I really liked the Rueben burger. But the side of coleslaw was somewhat busy disappointing, was straight up lifeless cabbage thrown in a bowl, had no cream whatsoever. When I asked the waitress about it, she said that's how it was and nothing she could do about it. The truffle fries were much better quality side. The staff members all around were friendly. They all were suffering from the AC blowout too. The dishes came out in short intervals despite the place being busy. Overall it seemed to be a solid place to hangout and have burger and fries.

Not sure who would really be sitting out there.. Once inside,, the Brewery is spacious with enough seating both bar and tables for a good size group of beer dinners.  I sat at the bar and ordered a flight of all 10 beers they had on tap. All the beer at Escutcheon is drinkable, crushable and reasonably price for $6-7 a pint. And, the beer here is true to style.  No extra flavors, just good beer by the numbers. Brian was our beertender and he was great.  Thanks Brian, your sense of humor and knowledge of the beer as well as nautical terms made our night way better.  The brewers name is John and he brews clean flavors.  It is comforting when the beers taste like what they are.

I love this Lager, because it tastes like what it is Spica Hefeweizen 5.6% ABV... It's a not so typical hefe. Yummm... Bowditch American Pale Ale 5% ABV... APAs are not my palet, but this one was pretty good Plimsoll IPA 6.5% ABV... FIRE!!! This is delicious Slip Angle New England IPA 7% ABV... says its a NEIPA, but has the flavor profile of a west coast IPA Habermehels Oktoberfest lager 6.5 ABV... liked this One alot Annealed Coffee Stout 6.5% ABV... smells like coffee, tastes like coffee, give me some bacon and I've got breakfast For my first experience here, I was very impressed.  None of the ABVs were ridiculously high and the beers were true to their styles.  For me that was very comforting.  I am finding that here in Winchester, a night of beer drinking is Uber Affordable.  And Escutcheon is not the exception, but the rule.  If you want great beer at even greater affordability, Escutcheon is the place to visit.  I will be returning soon.
