Stopped in for lunch at Grain & Grog American Tavern and it hit all the right notes. We ordered the…read morehot Italian, steak & cheese, and a kids burger with mac and cheese--everything came out fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The hot Italian had just the right kick, the steak & cheese was hearty and satisfying, and the kids meal didn't feel like an afterthought (always a win). The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting--definitely worth adding on. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff truly stood out--friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. Easy spot to recommend for a casual, really solid lunch. Will definitely be back.

Stereotypical decor and menu, Grains and Grog stood painfully empty on a Saturday afternoon playing music nostalgic to anyone who graduated high school before 2010. I ordered a Manhattan. Hallway through, looking down at the bottom of the glass, I saw two tiny flies floating at the bottom. As disgusted as one can reasonably be, I asked for another one to be made (why I bothered, I can't say. Maybe it was because I had already drank half). I found another small fly in the second before the server left the table. Another fly in the third as well. We didn't finish our meals for obvious reasons. They brought us the check, discounted the manhattans and 50% the check, though I didn't feel I should have paid anything. After paying the check, they said it was a mistake. They brought us the wrong one and would void the sale. The "correct" check they brought us was the full meal sans the 3 botched manhattans. We won't be going back

This place deserves all of the hype it gets. The brunch is always on point with the offerings and how delicious the food is. We also love their regular menu. The cocktails are always delicious. Service is very good and even though most of the time we go for the brunch buffet, the servers are still very attentive. It is definitely different vibes between brunch, their nightlife, and full restaurant, but would recommend all of it.

The menu goes well beyond standard bar fare, with several dishes that feel like real upgrades on the classics.

My Cincinnati chili, on the other hand, was exactly what I wanted on a cold winter day--rich, comforting, and deeply satisfying. A great spot whether you're there for the game or just a solid meal.

No, this was a full-blown culinary Six Flags experience that left me both speechless and deeply emotional. First Stop: Southwest Egg Rolls These bad boys arrived at my table looking like they just got back from a food modeling gig--crispy, golden, and filled with a spicy, cheesy, Tex-Mex magic that made my taste buds sing mariachi music. One bite in, and I could practically hear the tortilla whisper, "Welcome to Flavor Town, amigo." The creamy dipping sauce? Absolute sorcery. If I could legally marry a condiment, this one would be a strong contender. The Main Event: Manny's Meatloaf Manny--whoever you are--I just want to say thank you. Thank you for crafting a meatloaf that has single-handedly redefined my understanding of comfort food. This wasn't your grandma's meatloaf, folks. This was a rich, juicy, perfectly seasoned masterpiece, glazed in what I can only assume is liquid happiness. Each forkful melted in my mouth like butter in the sun, making me question every other meatloaf I've encountered in my life. Do I now have beef with every other meatloaf? Yes. Yes, I do. The Beverage That Tied It All Together: The Freshest Beer Ever Now, I don't know if they have a magical beer wizard in the back, but this was the freshest, crispest, most life-affirming beer I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. Each sip was like being softly kissed by an angel who also happens to be a craft brewer. Ice-cold, smooth, and so refreshing I briefly considered writing a love letter to the brewery. Final Verdict If you are hungry, thirsty, or just looking for an existentially transformative dining experience, get yourself to this restaurant immediately. The food is sensational, the drinks are divine, and I am now a better person for having eaten here. 10/10, would trade my left shoe for another bite of that meatloaf.

Wings with habanero on the side, suggested by the waitress to get on side and that was the best advice ever, shit had my tongue numb. Thursday was shrimp and crab special.

Deliciousness - 3/5 Happiness -5/5…read more This place is for drinkers as it has no food, so if you want to lift an ale (and go out for dinner before or after, or bring food in with you), this is the place to be. They have a large beer, wine, and liquor list (although not nearly as many English beers as I expected from a place called Crown & Crow). I won't deny that I wasn't a fan of either of the mixed cocktails I had, with both (including strangely a smoky drink) being too sweet. But the beer was expertly poured and the wine was a very generous serving. The prices are also more than reasonable, which is great for a DC bar. But what really elevates this place is the service. By late night, the place was jam packed. But each and every bartender was extremely friendly and they expertly worked the crowd, getting drinks served quickly (which too few places manage to do) and swiftly clearing off tables of dirty glasses. I also greatly appreciated the free goldfish that they happily dole out to the patrons. The staff made this a really good time.

But, I will say that you could tell it had been par-cooked and re-made / frozen, or just straight microwave reheated. One of the shells had hard spots on one side, indicating it was undercooked / overcooked, and there were spots that were significantly more hot than other spots. The bread was cold, despite being wrapped in foil - not sure if it was intended to be served hot, or if the foil was just for covering. The entire meal was off-put by the added bonus of the restaurant also not including any plastic-ware or napkins with the meal.

Ordered via UberEats -…read more The chicken tender platter was decent, but not amazing or exceptional. The breading was a tad soft and soggy. The chicken seemed to be breaded, fried, then tossed in a spices mixture which had large pieces of grainy spices in it - most notably salt, with a sweet and savory blend of spices. No honey mustard was provided, as is customary with chicken tenders - instead it was a creamy almost Thousand Island-like sauce. I definitely prefer Chili's chicken crispers over this. The mac & cheese was bottom of the barrel - Bland, lacking flavor, slightly bitter and slightly gritty. Just not what you'd expect from a quality chain like Glory Days ...

Would gladly come back. -Brussels sprouts: delicious. Roasted and topped with parm, bacon, and balsamic glaze.

Tangy sundried tomatoes cut the richness and was actually tender. I enjoyed the better as leftovers and I don't know why. Mashed potatoes creamy, buttery delicious. I don't like spinach so I got it with a side of green beans. -Green beans: good but cooked and seasoned unevenly. I still liked it -Grilled mahi tacos: I enjoyed this the most. The taco shell isn't a taco shell, more like a flatbread or naan toasted. It has a variety of textures and flavors - pumpkin seeds, jalapeño slaw, avocado sauce, and pico. It's bright and punchy and delicious. Comes w fries -Sweet potato fries: so yum. Crispy outside fluffy inside Cheese pizza: a lot of cheese- a little too much for me. The restaurant itself is lake themed with beautiful wood paneling, floor to ceiling windows, centered around a cozy fire place. I made a comment that it'd be perfect for baby/ bridal showers and my friend said people actually have weddings here. The interior is matched by an even more beautiful view.
