Came here after we went to do the Escape Room of Arlington next door. If you escape the room successfully, you get a free appetizer or $10 off your meal. You get one coupon per reservation of escape room. So we got 2 since we escaped 2 rooms!!! Great deal! Overall, the service and food was pretty good. The pretzel bread was excellent - fluffy and tasty. The nachos were OK. The other entrees were decent. I think the overall atmosphere and food scene was pretty good for the price. read more

Stopped by here for a quick bite before a comedy show at the Arlington Cinema Drafthouse and I am glad I did. It was super swanky inside and the bartender greeted me right away. I had a margarita to drink (delicious) and some buffalo wings with fries. The fries were a bit too greasy for my liking, but the wings were tasty. I got their ghost pepper sauce on the side (super spicy, but good!). Looks like there's a live band as well. read more

This place wants to serve liquor and the food was mediocre. The emphasis on quantity not quality. The waiter made mistakes although our order was uncomplicated Many large screen TVs and lots of liquor read more

Food is amazing. I had oysters half shell and Baby Back Ribs. Zombie Dust IPA on draft is delicious. Service is depended on the days and the server. read more

Well this is a romantic place to go! My husband and I went for the first time and had a lovely time. The drinks are in my opinion some of the best and we tried everything! Cause well that's what we do The staff wore mask and social distancing was enforced. The menu has something for everyone and I'm just going to lay this out here the food is phenomenal! So get those taste buds ready you'll love it! During this time it's hard for places but rest assured the restaurant is taking every precaution to keep staff and customers safe. To be honest they are seriously going above and beyond and as a customer I appreciate that! If you are in the area please stop by and show some love. Go in enjoy some of the best cocktails around and good food and atmosphere! Cheers! read more

The food and service were great during my visits. Their nightly specials (taco bar & wing nights) are priced right and tasty. Plenty of tv's for sporting events and good music. read more

Visit this spot at least every other week with a friend. We're a fan to say the least for dinner, HH and Brunch! On special they were having grilled oysters (out front on an actual grill!) and had to try. The oysters came with a garlic butter $5 for 10. They were ok, probably wouldn't get again because I'd probably need 3 servings to be satisfied. We ordered bread on the side, because it came with none. read more

I love wjt. Been coming here for years. I decided to switch it up and order that tavern burger. Unfortunately this item was not that great. Everything else here is great however. I've had almost every item on the menu and the burger was the only one that I was dissatisfied with. Tonight they had a live band which was fun. Our sever was very friendly. I still give this place 5 stars for all of the other great food options. read more

I was surprised by the reviews here because this is hands down my favorite place to order delivery from- their salmon and broccolini is my favorite, ever, truly. I don't know how they make something as simple as salmon and veggies taste so good. Well seasoned, perfectly cooked, flavorful, warm every time. Every side I have ordered has been something special in its own right. I have spent an embarrassing amount of money getting their salmon delivered, I could literally eat it every night. Can't speak to the ambiance/service as I've never been in but for food alone, wow wow wow- definitely 5 stars! read more

My fave din/lunch spot in Arlington. This night the music was def too loud but usually perfect ambiance!! Shrimp flatbread was best thing I've eaten in recent memory. Fries were classic as always. My bf didn't love the hamburger but loved the wings! Staff is always so kind! read more

I attended the restaurant for the first time last night with my fiancee and close friend. it was our first time dining and we went around 5:30. We were not immediately greeted but we're given water. It was 35 minutes before we gained the attention of a server to order our food. BUT when the food did come we were pleasantly surprised. The nachoes were superb and the steak was delicious. I had the Bavarian Pretzel which was also spot-on. The servers need more training about customer service and manners but the management was excellent. read more

I got the New Orleans Rock Shrimp Po Boy with two elotes as my side. The sandwich was pretty good. It came with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and shrimp with some ranch sauce slathered on the inside of the bread. The shrimp were deep fried and juicy. There were so much of them that the sandwich was overflowing with shrimp. I couldn't keep all the shrimp inside. I figured the extra pieces were for us to enjoy and to dip into the ranch (whatever the white sauce was) individually, without the sandwich. I feel like the price for the sandwich (with a side) was justified (about $13). The sandwich was pretty huge. The elotes were... meh. The toppings weren't the same like the way they make it at Tortas y Tacos La Chiquita down the street. The corn was cut in half so you get two pieces, and the toppings were spread sparingly over them. It wasn't disgusting, but it wasn't the best I've had. I liked the interior design. It was nice inside and cleaner than other bars I've been to. They have autumn decorations all over the place right now. Really nice. This place is catty corner from Bob & Edith's and to the right of Taqueria El Poblano. Lastly, their glass doors had huge letters that read "Free Parking". I should add that their food is kind of expensive, but justified due to its location I suppose..... read more

Great time. Came in with a bunch of girlfriends for a fun night out. Most people watching March Madness but we got our own "nook" and wait staff was super attentive, food menu had great variety and drinks were fun. Glad we checked this place out! read more

We absolutely LOVE this place. Brunch, dine in, or carry out, the food is always fantastic. Portions are large and the quality is consistently outstanding. We love the wings (both fried and smoked), nachos, and drinks. At brunch, we'll have chicken and waffles, brioche French toast, or eggs benedict. We even went just for drinks for my boyfriends birthday and our service was incredibly friendly. They were more than accommodating, and are handling COVID restrictions very wel. I have never had a bad experience here, and that's why we keep coming back! read more

We touched down in DC from NYC, checked in to the Sheraton, and found the most amazing tavern, which was William Jeffrey's. It was great; grilled and crispy wings were our go-to! The tequila selection was elite! Thank you, Megan, Nick, and David! For amazing service, you rock, and keep up the phenomenal hospitality! This weekend was great. read more

Came in with a needy party of 14 for dinner. Our server Niko was amazing despite our many requests. Bonus- the food was good too!!

Went for happy hour and dinner. When we first got there around 430p, it was really slow but picked up as the evening went on. Large selection of craft beers and pretty solid HH specials. The Steak Bomb was a solid sandwich for sure and the fries were really good as well. Parking in the garage is a little pricey ($18 for 4 hours, they validated $11). Will definitely go back when Im in the area. read more

Food was good, service was good, portions are big but parking sucks. The prices are a little much BUT on par for the area. Our group had a little bit of everything and everyone enjoyed their food. read more

Probably one of the best crispy chicken wings I have had. Great selection of various flavors as well. Great drink and draft beer menu. We'll worth the visit. Relaxing environment. read more

This restaurant is right on Columbia pike and is surrounded by a ton of other fantastic restaurants that I cant wait to try. It's a charming bar/restaurant with helpful wait staff and pretty good food. Since it was a hot summer day, I decided to try the watermelon and goat cheese salad. Since I love yucca, I ordered the yucca to serve as my carb. Both were fantastic choices! The yucca was perfectly fried and very filling and the salad had really good flavors between the goat cheese, candies walnuts, and watermelon. It was the perfect salad to cool down and not too heavy. Can't wait to try out other items on the menu! read more

I'm with Hue K. on this one. Whereas Lia M. thinks the entree menu is overpriced, the real steal of a deal, if you're hungry, is the All You Can Eat Omelet and Waffle Brunch Bar ($15). Say that five times fast. No don't, eat it instead. Available only on Sundays. While I didn't choose this option this time, I did try the waffle, and it is indeed one of the best I've ever had too. Light and fluffy. Crisp, golden brown on the outside. Not too sweet. Just right. It's one to put on your bucket list. I had my go-to breakfast... French toast. But wait right there. Theirs isn't like the variety you'd get at Bob and Edith's across the street. No siree. What you get here is Brioche French toast ($9). Two thick slices (four triangles) of sweet heaven on Earth dipped in Kahlua, Frangelico, and Triple Sec , topped with creme fraiche and a berry compote, and kissed with powdered sugar sprinkles. Are you salivating? You'll have to wait 'til next weekend now to prove to yourself I'm not exaggerating. Definitely worth crossing the river for, even with loud babies, and somewhat inattentive waitstaff. read more

I want to like William Jeffrey's. I've had great service and really like the dark wood, dimly lit design and fireplace/lounge area. I just cannot pay over $20 for an entrée at this type of restaurant in this neighborhood. For that price, I could get a great dish in the city, at somewhere a bit higher end. Since I refused to get an entrée, I ordered a sandwich and fries, which was very tasty, and big enough to last for two meals. I had the grilled chicken caprese and enjoyed it. My friend enjoyed his NY strip and it did look tasty, but I did not try any of it. I've been back for drinks and both the Berry Caipirinha and Watermelon Fizz were basically alcohol-free. Wine bottles are half price on Monday, so I would come in for that or to try brunch (though they do not offer bottomless mimosas). Let's hope they actually add some champagne to those mimosas. read more

Seasonal Cocktails FTW! + Bourbon Hot Chocolate with handmade marshmallows + Mulled Wine + Hot Cider Toddys A friend and I stepped in to have a drink and ended up staying all night. I usually don't venture far away from my standard G&T's or Vodka Sodas but the bartender gave us samples of all their new winter drinks and I could not say no. Truly one of my favorite neighborhood bars! read more

My friend is a regular here and suggested this spot for some late-night weekend bites. This was our last stop and I was happy we could easily find seats at the bar to order food and drinks. I went with the cheese quesadillas and was really happy with my choice. They came out hot and were nicely filling. Not to mention, cheap! My friend ordered the mac and cheese, and it looked so good. The bar was clean and efficient, and it was nice to chat with the bartenders. This is definitely a solid choice for a low-key bar visit in Arlington. read more

I came to this place around brunch time and on St. Patty's weekend. It was pretty empty, not too busy. The place is pretty huge. The service was average, nothing too extraordinary. FOOD: I ordered the Corned Beef Hash with the Nitro Cold Brew Coffee. The coffee was a very interesting taste. The alcohol in it was overpowering but you still can taste the coffee as well. The coffee wasn't my favorite but it was a new combo I haven't tried. I loved the Corned Beef Hash! Not too oily, not too burnt (the beef). I enjoyed every bite of it. And OMG, they got Churro Doughnuts... SO GOOD. I would recommend this place! Prices offered are reasonable, not too expensive. I left satisfied. (I totally forgot to take pictures! Sorry!) read more

Christy is the very best bartender!! She was friendly and made great cocktails for us!

I loveeee the atmosphere here, the fireplace things are awesome, and tons of TVs everywhere with all different channels on. The ambiance is just right, and the size of the place is just so that it doesn't get too loud. The staff is always friendly. The food is pretty amazing. It's on the pricy side, but it's worth it for the presentation and quality of the food. They have a pretty decent wine selection. Best hush puppies ever!!! Man do they make em good. They were so moist and flavorful with spices...fried just right. I don't think I will ever try to eat them anywhere else, to be honest. read more

I am definitely a fan. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We went in for a Saturday brunch and they had almost every major college game playing at the bar. There was a healthy number of people there but plenty of available seating -- NO WAITING which is a HUGE plus to me. I loved the wood features and paneling, it added a grown up feel. There is some limited outdoor seating too for those nice days. The Eggs Benedict was absolutely outstanding. The WJT used a french bread as the base instead of english muffins and it was a definite improvement. The bar tender was friendly and attentive. I will definitely return, completely enjoyed the WJT! read more

3.4 I came here with a party of about 8 during happy hour. We were able to snag a table that could accommodate us. Our initial server wasn't that great. I asked for a drink and he never came back LOL! Maybe it was the end of his shift? Yes, let's go with that. Our second server was better, she was bubbly and checked on us an exorbitant amount of times. While she was polite, I think we were lingering and not ordering anything for longer than they wanted. Even though we continued to tell her we didn't need anything else. She came back every 10 minutes or so, saying "you guys all set". I'm sure they wanted our table for customers who would be spending more money! Anyway, I'd like to comment on how fantastic the hummus was. I'm not sure if it's house made or what, but it was creamy and delicious. There also seemed to be some magic pita--you know how Pita gets cold and hard after sitting out? This one never did. Even after losing its warmth, it remained soft and perfect. The drink I ordered was the frozen drink of the day, I never got the name, but it was delicious, imagine amaretto mixed with peach schnapps and pina colada. More of a summer drink, but refreshing nonetheless. The nachos were just okay. Both the pork and chicken quesadilla were quite good. Not much above your average bar food though. My least favorite part of being here was the live musician. It's very difficult to hold a conversation with your peers when a person is yelling incoherently into the microphone. I kept thinking it would stop, but it didn't. He continued to play instruments and belt loudly. I personally found it annoying and ultimately it prompted me to leave. Even if it was my type of music, it seemed more disturbing than entertaining. We had to speak loudly to communicate, which is exhausting after a long day. I'll consider coming back to this place to catch some of the weekly HH specials. read more

Amazing food and atmosphere, bartender was very attentive and the calamari slapped. They were out of the ingredients for the first cocktail i ordered but the bartender helped me out and i chose a good beer! If your in the area for a quick bite and a quality beer stop in!

Placed an uber eats for a salmon sandwich with tater tots that showed up like this. I thought the order had been half eaten or something so I called and I was informed by the restaurant that "there are only 12 tots to an order". Seriously? For an order that came to $23? I get it, times are tough for restaurants and I sympathize but really how much more are potatoes? If it said '12 tots only' on the menu, I actually would've ordered fries separately. You may have just sacrificed future revenue to save pennies on tots. read more

WJ's is still my home away from home. They've had a few changes to their daily specials. Half price wine on Monday is no more. *sigh* I'll miss you. Instead, it's half price burgers on Monday. Lucky carnivores! So, due to the changes, check out their daily specials on the website. You won't be disappointed. Good food, good service, good prices. read more

The staff is great, but the food is very mid to lackluster. The chicken Marsala was the blandest, unseasoned version of this dish I have ever had, despite me asking for extra wine sauce. I could not even taste the wine sauce. The charred broccolini was good, but the woeful chicken Marsala makes me unlikely to return. read more

Great service from the bar. Order the French dip one of the best I've had in a while!

Came here because it's near my apartment and my friend and I wanted to grab some food before we went to work for a STEM event. The food was really good. I got a burger with fries. I asked for avocados to be added to the burger. When I got my burger there was not avocado. I told my server and she was quick to bring me a side of avocado. I forgot what my burger was called but it had a sunny side up egg on it. :-) . I felt the items were a little pricey so I'm glad the food tasted good. I'm new to the area so I asked the hostess what days were the best to come back and she said Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for brunch. I'm excited for Sunday Brunch and I'm going to make sure I stop by for HH and dinner one day to get the whole experience. read more

I went on a late midweek afternoon and found the establishment decently busy. Despite this I was seated and given water by my waiter. The happy hour menu is well priced and has a solid amount of choices. In regards to food, I had the orange chicken off of the happy hour menu as well but I believe that it wasn't really much to rave about. The rice was okay at best and the chicken was a little too sweet and wasn't really as crispy as I would've liked it to be. The overall ambience of this location is nice and cozy, yet also very spacious. The bar is well made with numerous TVs which would cover almost all sporting needs. Overall, the service and ambiance really pulled this rating up as I feel like the food was a tad second-rate. read more

Stopped in last week with coworkers for lunch. Located on Columbia Pike down the street from my office. Really cute and chill bar, the staff was very friendly and helpful with the food choices. Kept lunch pretty simple. I really like their wings. The honey siracha wings were really good, cooked to perfection. My coworker tried the grilled wings, which are dry rubbed, lager basted & grilled over open flame. Served with green goddess dipping sauce. She said she liked my wings better, I actually liked both styles to be honest. The grilled wings had a really nice flavor to them. I also had the grilled chicken kale Caesar salad(Chopped romaine & kale, cherry tomatoes, avocado & pickled red onion tossed with classic Caesar dressing & herb croutons), which was also really good. The pickled onion was a nice touch to the salad. Definitely will return for lunch or a possible happy hour. Also heard that brunch is really good as well read more

I've been coming to this place since I moved to the Pike five years ago. Compared to the other bars in the neighborhood, it is a lot less cliquish and I always feel welcomed, not talked about and given lesser service because I am not a regular. Sunday brunch is great along with a Bloody Mary bar and mimosas. Most days there are specials - pre-pandemic we nearly always went there for Tuesday night raw bar to sit at the bar, have some food and drinks, and watch sports on television. read more
