Great local pub. We were seated quickly for lunch and our food came very fast. I got the turkey sandwich which I really enjoyed, especially with the chili mayo. Bread was perfectly toasted! It's kind of underground so it's a darker, smaller vibe. Overall great food!
We made a reservation considering it was a Friday night, so we didn't have to wait. Walked down the spooky stairs to the entrance and was sat at a booth, fun for people watching! Had the fried zucchini as an appetizer. It was perfectly cooked not super bready. We then shared the Reuben sandwich, perfectly cooked!!! Service was great, fun spot!
For a basic "university local bar" is as good as it gets. Down dodgy looking stairs to expansive well appointed sports bar with heavy boat club ambience. Good service with mixture of students and visitors. Menu good for such a bar and good bar choices. Surprisingly there is a real active fireplace. Tome beer ok but nothing special. Brisket with spiced fries just the right volume. There is a happy hour but watch out for karaoke night!parking ok if you are lucky.
I had the crab cake and had them substitute fries with grits. Their grits are so good!!! My friend ordered the shrimp and grits. Crab cake was good but the shrimp and grits was excellent!!! Service was excellent. Server was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. We had an early dinner. Happy hour drinks were tasty and a great deal!
A cozy well known place that is often overlooked. Basic fare (burgers, salad, French toast) served with attention. The servings are ample, the noise level was low, and the prices are reasonable. Students, families, visitors, friends - and a decent bar.
My friend and I came here for an early dinner. This is the college bar of GU apparently so we figured we'd give it a try. The restaurant is downstairs and it's what you would expect for a pub almost. Casual, noisy got big screen tvs everywhere. For drinks we got the bold rock cider. When I gave the waitress my ID, she was very sassy and without even giving me a chance to say anything she said "oh no baby this is a fake" and was examining it in depth adding in "she even tried that" and walked away with my ID to the bar. I guess she had never seen the new VA IDs before which I've had for over a year now but that was my first time of someone ever thinking my real ID was a fake lol. It was comical too because I had just turned 28 a week ago so I guess I should take it as a compliment I look under 21. Thankfully the bartender knew it was real and I got my ID back. Besides that interesting encounter, the food itself was really good. I got the bbq pulled pork sandwich fries and the texas toast was fire. My friend got the smash burger with a salad and she said it was really good too. We were stuffed!
Always good service. Lively bar and restaurant. Food came quickly. Food runner even took plate back to wipe sauce that spilled on the way to the table (we would have been fine with it) but it was done proactively. A Georgetown institution on the edge of campus.
Family recommended this spot for lunch and it was awesome! We were able to get a table on a Friday at the lunch hour right away. Our server was so knowledgeable and attentive. He shared the history of the restaurant with us, which was cool to learn! I opted for the falafel pita wrap with a side mixed salad for my meal and it was so tasty. My husband chose the turkey sandwich and loved it as well. They do not have parking, but there are street spots available all around. The vibe inside the restaurant feels like a historical lounge/bar and is so fitting for Georgetown. They do offer alcohol but we didn't try anything during our visit.
The best. Walk down the steps and back in time to your college days. We have been going to the Tombs since we were in school. Then it became our neighborhood joint many years later, and we still come back even though we don't live here anymore. Best burgers, Reubens, wings...you get the idea. Served by cute and friendly Georgetown students. Now the salads are great too. And it's probably the last $8 glass of wine in town. The milkshakes are amazing too. Just go early before the students take over. One of the greatest places in Georgetown and always packed after the 5:30 Holy Trinity mass - a neighborhood tradition.
Came here with a large group before the first day of GU's undergraduates classes so it was packed with students. I got the summer chicken rice bowl and it was great, however chicken was a little dry, but a good portion of chicken. It was very busy but service was great and efficient. They do have daily specials.
