  Always friendly staff no matter the time. By far my favorite food in town. Military discount is a plus. Try the Chesapeake anything, you won't be disappointed. The brunch burger and the jalapeño glaze are a must. I order some on the side with every meal for a dip. Flat top grill closes at 930pm. Must must must eat here.

  My mom, sister, husband and I went to the Chantilly location at 7:48pm on Saturday March 18th, departed 8:50 pm.
  
  Our server took our appetizer order and our drink order. We ordered (1) moscow mule, (2) ginger beer and rum, and (1) blood orange turtle 1/2 shell. After about 20 minutes our appetizer arrived but no drinks. We finished our appetizer and still no drinks, no water, nothing. This is like 25 minutes after we originally placed our drink order. So my husband went up and asked about about the drinks our server said they had to make the (2) drinks special. He said it is just ginger beer and rum, same thing as the Moscow Mule except with rum. So a few minutes later all the drinks arrived except the turtle 1/2 shell.
  
  Next, our dinner arrived. Still No turtle 1/2 shell. This is a menu item and nothing special. We start to eat and the 1/2 turtle finally arrives. I should have just canceled it at this point but here it is finally. My mom starts to eat her Tilapia. It is RAW. This is not an exaggeration. Literally NOT cooked, cold and RAW. It is very dangerous to eat Tilapia RAW. We call our server over she takes away my mom's food. Then the manager comes over. He explains that he is new to this location and has been brought in to "clean house" and make improvements. He explains that the Tilapia was frozen and was not defrosted properly and therefore did not cook. He offers to make salmon instead. I said to him, "we all have our food will it take very long as my mom has nothing to eat?" He says no that they will make it right away.
  
  Well "right away" took over 25 minutes. My poor mother had to sit there without a meal or crumb to eat. We all gave her portions of our meal so she had something to at least gnaw on. You would think that a manager that is "fixing" things would have at least offered a bowl of soup or salad or something to tide her over while we ate and she waited. He offer NOTHING except a free exchange on the RAW fish meal she was originally served. We finish our meals and waited some more. I finally had to get up and go to the kitchen and ask for the manager and my check. At this point we just wanted to leave. So they boxed her salmon we paid the bill and left.
  
  Between never receiving a popular menu drink item to being served raw fish, to an unresponsive/uncaring manager. this was an absolutely terrible experience. We are lucky that my mom ate very little of the raw fish and she didn't get sick. I am still in a state of shock that the manager left her sitting there without any food. Absolutely disgraceful.

  Place is comfortable. Service is good. Food is average. Prices are on par with other sports bars, Hooters, Bungalow, etc.

  Great food, ok service. Happy hour is great, but service sitting in dinning room has been slow and dicey.
