After a rather disappointing meal at a nearby Chinese establishment, our spirits were lifted as we walked into The Rub Chicken and Bar and Hen Quater. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance set the stage for what turned out to be a ...
Very busy. The food is great. I had the Cornish Hen Green beans and Brussel sprouts. Then Mom and Daughter enjoyed a side of maple bacon omelet with ham and cheese and finally French toast. ...
Delicious food. Nice atmosphere. Additional Seating upstairs. I liked some of the spicy options. Nice part of Old Town...was able to find parking less than a block away.
Great service and the fried chicken was a banger!!!!!! The Brussel sprouts amazing! And you gotta try the Deviled eggs!
The Family style brunch was phenomenal!!! More than enough food where you will definitely get your fill. Service was excellent, food came out quickly. Loved the energetic atmosphere and decor. I will definitely have to visit again. Stuffed eggs were the surprise hit, flavors were layered perfectly.
A fun environment with terrific service! Niecey was an amazing server and bartender! The food was really good. Would have liked some cheese baked into the waffle on my Waffy Waffy Chick Chick sandwich, and would have liked the sweet potato waffle fries to be not as well done. However, still a terrific meal!
Absolutely one of my favorite places to eat in old town, and maybe all of northern Virginia. Its a casual barrestaurant downstairs and a more sit down table service type place upstairs. ...
