The Bad: Service is okay but lacking in professionalism/friendliness. We made a reservation in advance and table was not fully put together when we sat down. Our food came out at random times and several items were forgotten. They would drop off crackers, bibs, and gloves at our table but there was never enough. They were out of blue crabs but failed to tell us till we ordered. Normally not a big deal, but something you should mention if you are advertising yourself as a crab house. As soon as I sat down, I was scared we would have a terrible night but the good food and fun atmosphere permeating from the bar made it fun. Hoping that this place tightens up a bit soon. It truly has potential.

Soon as you walk in through the revolving door, you are greeted with a wood fire grill aroma that makes your sense of smell scream omg what is that and I'll take 2 please. There was no wait time, we were instantly seated at a small both for two. And yes the seats are comfortable. I would have loved to be seated next the the staircase because it has some nice sight lines. The restaurant is so clean and nicely decorated as if you stepped into a homey yet lux cabin restaurant. It just feels....comforting. There were a lot of people dining here but the noise level was surprisingly minimal. The service is impeccable. Every waiter was attentive. Someone even asked us if we wanted another drink when our glasses were full. Never in my life has that happen to me. Lol The server was very knowledgeable about everything and left me to decided between all the wonderful options they offer. And they have OPTIONS. I heard the steak is banging. I'll be back... Now let's talk about these Ozzie dinner rolls. Bomb! End of story. And in my Nike voice....Just do it. In other words stuff your face and get some to go. I got blessed with 2 baskests and a bag to go. Won't he do it. My son enjoyed his little Mac aka his burger and fries but was too full to finish the fries because he stuff his face with Ozzie dinner rolls. So be careful yall. You have been warned. I orderer the pecan trout which was a very interesting take on baked fish and yet it was still good. I'm not raving about it. But it was good. Nice thing is they give you to pieces of trout 1 for now and 1 for later because yes I stuffed my face with those darn Ozzie rolls. Smh I had my eyes set on that deep dish apple pie and I shall return to try it and other menu items..like that banging steak. My leftovers hit the spot. I had enough for a whole lunch the next day. Saved me extra resources. Everything tasted even better the next day. Like the seasoning settled in and exploded into deliciousness. Peoples I say this with love...Don't come here because I don't want yall taking up all the free parking spaces available. Lol this is my new go to spot.

This was such a bizarre dining experience. When we arrived, we were not acknowledged at all. It…read moretook for my husband going to the bar for them to bring out menus for us. Drinks were very weak. I ordered a large margarita because I was planning on only one drink, but it was overly sweet and I didn't taste any tequila. It also took them a very long time to bring out the drinks. I ordered flautas which were supposed to be served with tomato and avocado and sides of rice and beans along with sour cream, cheese, and lettuce. When my food came out, there were no avocado, tomato, rice, or beans. At this point I was just kind of over it and wanted to get out of there. My husband got a chimchanga, but the rice was unseasoned and cold, and the beans were cold. There were gambling machines in the restaurant, and it sort of looked like they were in the middle of a renovation. The walls were half painted and there were no decor aside from Frida Kahlo looking down on us. It evidently was a "hidden gem" but these days it's more of "trash out in the open."

It's a cute food truck parked in a church parking lot, and I was hype to eat. And just to be clear--I do not believe in reheating catfish. We dove straight into our styrofoam platters and were both pleasantly surprised. The catfish was fried to crispy perfection. Flavor-wise, it's no Aunt Glenda (let's be honest, who is?), but it was still solid. Personally, I'll always prefer my catfish with grits--just saying. We both ordered the greens and macaroni--yes, we failed to diversify, don't judge us. The greens were okay. The mac? Also okay. Being from the South, my taste buds for soul food come with high expectations and a very judgmental palate. Would I go back? Absolutely--especially if they start offering grits. Oh, and the portions are huge. You definitely get your money's worth. Go check them out and support the catfish cause.

Dear reader, Crafty…read moreCrab in Alexandria remains our go-to spot whenever a proper seafood boil is required, and it rarely fails to deliver. The prices are genuinely great for the area, especially considering how much food arrives at the table. They offer several preselected boil options with excellent variety, which makes ordering very easy when one would rather focus on the feast than conduct a seafood negotiation. We especially love the mussel boil, which comes with snow crab, shrimp, mussels, sausage, potatoes, and corn for a very fair price. It is honestly enough to split with another person, though whether one wishes to share is a private moral question. The seafood is always well cooked, nicely seasoned, and satisfyingly messy. The garlic cheese curds are also amazing. Pro tip: dip them in ranch and prepare to become briefly unavailable for conversation. They have a full bar with fun cocktails and even buckets, plus plenty of TVs for watching games. The music is always excellent, the staff is consistently nice and chill, and the whole place is always a vibe. Reliable, delicious, and very easy to recommend

The fifth star is for Naweed who embodied the true definition of old school customer first service..in addition to being kind, patient, and personable with great menu knowledge. For the food: can't go wrong with the bacon & egg classic - the potatoes were tender with awesome flavor and the side of fruit was a nice touch. The cinnamon rolls - another classic came out hot & soft, the glaze seemed to have a hint of citrus maybe orange it wasn't overpowering but noticeable so worth mentioning. The chicken biscuit came with two pieces of chicken which is something to brace for - I suggest opting for one piece or ordering if you're really hungry. Not pictured, but the cheese grits were ordered too - they weren't awful, but also didn't add much to the spread. All around really pleasant encounters from the host, the manager, and everyone in between who touched our table. We'll be back to watch a game! THANKS NAWEED

And the shrimp had the perfect smoky flavor.I don't like spicy food, and this had some spice (think how your lips burn after eating) but it was still good.

He was especially attracted to the beautiful flowers and leaves that were painted on the walls of the restaurant. The hostess ushered us to a special, capacious table in a quiet nook of the restaurant. In that space we had an amazing dining experience. The waitress, Olivia, was kind, attentive, and overall an amazing server. Albeit she was busy, she went out of her way to make ours a special dining experience. The food, was absolutely delicious. Each member of our party of four enjoyed our respective meals. I had a fish sandwich that was absolutely scrumptious. Throughout the meal, Olivia returned to the table many times to make sure that we were attended to, and satisfied with our meals. As I mentioned previously, it was my friend's son's birthday, and we came specifically to this restaurant to celebrate it. We were absolutely astounded when our server brought a scrumptious chocolate layer cake with a birthday candle for the birthday person. She also organized the staff to sign a card with birthday felicitations. Such a kind gesture on her part! In summary, I highly recommend Burton's Grill as it is an amazing restaurant. It checks off all the boxes for atmosphere, delicious food, and an amazing staff ; it offers the customer an excellent dining experience. I can't wait to return to try other entrées in the future. Thank you again for your attentive service and kindness to my friend's son on his 24th birthday.
