The Rub Chicken Beer - Alexandria

Catching up on reviews. I stopped by on Sunday, 06-26-22. Was happy to see a Black owned business I could support. I ordered the hush puppies, mac cheese, Nutella pudding, and a sunrise punch. I was so taken aback by the mac and cheese that I probably only had half a fork full before I returned it. The guy at the county almost seemed like he was expecting me and said that they'd been getting complaints about the mac cheese. I guess most people were expecting a good,

Absolutely one of my favorite places to eat in old town, and maybe all of northern Virginia. It's a casual bar/restaurant downstairs and a more sit down table service type place upstairs. The hot chicken is fantastic and the Mac and cheese is creamy and delicious. I'd recommend going here if you even think you like fried chicken.

Wow, I was super disappointed in this place. Overrated to say the least . Made a reservation to celebrate my niece getting her first job out of college. Took both her an my mom for brunch . We ordered the family style?seemed like best option. Pictures on line looked amazing ? could not wait to try! The deviled eggs lacked flavor, the salad was soggy , the waffles were sour? caught me off guard ? ?????the potatoes/eggs/biscuits/bacon were tasteless. Positives ? chicken

The food was delicious. Got there not too long after they opened for brunch, there is an upstairs area however i sat downstairs and had the whole area to myself. The staff was friendly and attentive, the food came out in a timely manner. Got a recommendation to try this place from a friend and wasn?t disappointed.

Now I know good southern cooking and this was a breath if fresh air. I had the ribs, ... these were so tender, no utensils necessary. The greens were just right. The chicken and waffles were as good as everyone else had already stated, no disappointment there. The Mac n cheese, what it lacked in thickness it made up for in flavor. Finished it off with the bread pudding which was really good, just make sure you ask for it to be warmed. It worked well with the ice cream on
