However, stopping today (2/16/26) on this federal holiday was not painful at all. LOVE the drive thru option but actually prefer going in because of the deals and specialty items.

I'm not a regular but I will ALWAYS recommend BK Miller's. Orderly and organized and can't brag enough about the prices and selection/variety. As a matter of fact, I found Blackberry Crown Royal today (Mon., 2/16/26)! I love the Peach Crown with pineapple juice. Not sure what to mix the Blackberry flavor with (maybe lemonade)?

Basic customer service skills dictate that employees should greet customers upon arrival. When I brought this to their attention, they explained that they were engaged in a conversation.

Additionally, the store was quite empty, which made me think that they were expecting inventory. I believe that it is important for employees to acknowledge customers, regardless of their gender.

In a county known for an excess of liquor stores that are predominantly run-down establishments and eyesores. Thirsty's is a refreshing break. The store is clean and well stocked. They have a great beer and wine selection. The workers are friendly and very knowledgeable. They seem to attract fairly good clientele. Stop by and check them....very convenient to northern Virginia and the National Harbor. read more

There is parking directly in front of the store and they do have a drive through directly to the right of the "open" sign to the side of the building. They always seem to have sales going on.
