Staff at the front desk was amazingly helpful and so very friendly. This was my 1st visit, and I really enjoyed myself!
Went to 2 other locations and am glad I chose to come. My party of 7 had an awesome time. We will be back.

For on $17 you can get unlimited bowling, including shoes on a Sunday night and a $5 arcade card! And for about $25 you can get a pizza and a pitcher of beer. The pizza alone is about $20. Some good deals.

My kids and I enjoyed our time here.
I want to like this place but the service has been problematic. Of the 3, bars along this strip, service here is easily the worst. I never got a drink (water) during first visit and server never returned after I placed and opened tab for my order. I was asked to open tab and would have ordered more if anyone would’ve checked. I eventually just left. Things were a little busy so I was too bothered.
I gave them another shot and did get a drink second time around. Service was a little better. Staff repeatedly walking by customers and not checking on them is a bit odd and a pattern. I ordered the same food items and food was okay. Of the 3 bars in area food here actually was the best tasting. Cleanest establishment too. Perhaps sitting at bar offers better experience. I doubt I’ll return anytime soon, because service challenges.

The only con: The host practically ignored my question about my reservation and really looked like he didn't wanna do any part of his job.

The pros: old fashioned was outstanding, highly recommended. Smoked wings and green goddess sauce was perfectly cooked and really hit the spot. Other folks in my party loved the house eggnog and recommended it.

The food, drinks and server were top notch. Will definitely eat here next time we're in town.

My experience here was awesome. Love the food, the steak was delicious and the sides are very creative. There are cabbage with bacon and potato chips cooked in a lasagna-like way. Although the steak didn’t seem entirely well done as I requested, it didn’t seem like a big deal to me. The price is also reasonable.

All my clothes smell like a deep fryer every time I leave Crafthouse. I think they probably have inadequate exhaust in the kitchen, or some other problem.

I go here pretty regularly, especially for work happy hours. Every single time we go here, everyone walks out wreaking of deep fryer oil. It’s been this way for several years.

Decent drinks and service.

Cool atmosphere with lots of nostalgia on the walls. We had the (,huge) chicken pot pie & the fantastic chicken sandwich, both very good. Service was great & helpful. Definitely a must-try, we'll be back! And the prices are very reasonable for the metro area.
Worst place did not give us a drink before ten. Turned off ace music and tv before 11 at 1030.

This is a good neighborhood bar, where I have had very good food and service. Carlos, a bartender there for about a year, is a good mixologist who delivers unfailingly good service. I haven't tried the entire menu, but have never been disappointed with the food, and they recently started daily specials. The atmosphere is usually very pleasant, too - it is a go-to place for conversation with friends, and bonus points for extensive Halloween decorations. The only thing to be wary of is that they have events in the evenings a few days a week, which will make the atmosphere uncomfortably loud if you're there for a quiet drink. There is karaoke every Friday night around 7:30, for instance. If you like that, it'll be an additional draw for you, but if you're like me, just plan on leaving when it starts. Good place overall - no complaints and shout out to Carlos, Alphonso, and Patrick.

Are you a craft beer fan? Love happy hour deals? Looking for some delicious grilled cheese sandwiches (buffalo chicken is the best)?

Come to CraftHouse in Arlington. Great sports-focused atmosphere and incredible service, we had ZOHA and she made our experience perfect.

Be sure to have Untappd downloaded on your phone to see their draft beer menu, including reviews and pictures of the beers on tap! Thanks CraftHouse!
After spending a solemn morning at Arlington’s cemetery, we found this great place around the court house in Arlington. The ambiance, sitting outside, was great. The service and food were outstanding and this is a place I cannot only highly recommend, it’ll also be a place I’ll return to the next time I’m in town.

Great service and food. I had a wonderful micro brew, the Couyon Tri-tip, which was great and a good old-fashioned for desert - guilty pleasure. The steak was cooked just as I asked but the most fun surprise to me was the hasbrowns, they were really good. Overall, I will definitely come back. I would recommend it to anyone. Only thing if you are by yourself, be prepared to let the staff know because they thought I was waiting for someone and hey didn't want to be pushy.

I've been going here regularly at least for the past year (would come about twice a week). The staff are AMAZING, especially the manager Felicia, the PSO Billy, Kim and the bartender Joe! BIG shout out to them!! They finally brought back some of their weekly specials as well

Charlotte was my bartender, she was fantastic in so many ways. I bartend as well, and as a result put all my money and my wedding ring wrapped in a napkin when things get busy at my job. So when I went to pay my tab, the napkin slipped out and I left it on the bar and left. I called them up about 35 min later after I got home and I realized what I had done. In a panic I called to see if they found it. Bless Charlotte, she said she did feel something in a napkin and went through the trash for it!!!!! And found it!!! She put it in an envelope in the safe for me to pick up today, which I just did. You don’t see that kind of honesty these days and when I deeply thanked her, she said “it’s just the right thing to do.” She went above and beyond for me and it’s something I will never forget. I left her a note with my information so I can thank her properly, right thing to do or not she deserves some recognition for going through all that trouble, and not to mention the trash. The hummus was good too, quite different but I liked it. Side note: the bathrooms are always super clean and I really enjoy the deep lighting, they also have quite a nice selection of beers on draft, i ordered a strawberry cider I believe and it was really nice. So in conclusion, Charlotte is a keeper, I hope you all treat her well bc finding someone you can trust behind the bar is very difficult. So again thank you.
They don't offer individual food or service in the suites, nor can food be delivered to them... Everything is far to get, and you don't know the people to buy large party items.
Even though Google maps says they are open we went there on Wednesday and they are definitely closed! Staff there says they are only open on game days now.
Thank you, Lexi! She was an informative, attentive, and friendly server.
The Rockfish with a side of guacamole was tasty. I think the simple seasoning on the fish could be pushed up a notch, just to give the fish a "stand alone" flavor. It was a bit understated, BUT the medley of potatoes, corn, etc. was VERY good. The flavor combination with the side of guacamole was delicious.
I had the cocktail of the week "Burbon Smash." I asked for very little ice and it came perfectly smooth.
The salmon salad, my husband ate , had brussel sprouts other than that he liked it. LOL. The brussel sprouts weren't that bad. They were finely sliced and blended in the salad well. I liked the flavor.
Now, about the Berry Pie from Acme Pie Company...add MORE berries. The pie presentation was great. Ragtime saved the pie!

We came here for happy hour and got a craft house burger, some customized burgers, and ciders. The craft house burger came with peanut butter which made me weary so I asked for it on the side and I'm definitely glad I did- peanut butter just does not go with eggs. The ciders were a good deal and the customized burgers were good too

Rhodeside Grill exceeded my expectations! The cozy yet lively atmosphere sets the perfect tone for a great meal. The menu offers a diverse range of dishes, and the food itself is nothing short of delicious. I particularly enjoyed the friendly service and the way the staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. The live music added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. Rhodeside Grill is a gem for anyone seeking tasty food, good vibes, and a memorable time.
Good atmosphere and excellent service. Enjoyed freshly made food. The server was the best she was very good 👍. They do countdown for Marti Gras and have the beeds ready to go. Bartender makes/cooks own mixers.

This is a great place and a great location! There were 12 of us so we got the back room. It was perfect! We could talk and be a bit loud without disturbing anyone, and the service was excellent. We received a lot of attention from our waiter checking in on us and refilling our drinks. The food was very well prepared and tasted great. We got there too early for the live music, but I've heard good things about it. Would definitely recommend!

Great atmosphere and service here! We came with a large group and we were seated easily. The service was fast and our server was really kind. The atmosphere was wonderful late at night. They had live music going and the energy was electric. Would come back here again!
I’ve spent a lot of time in Louisiana and Mississippi while serving in the military. This restaurant put me right back in New Orleans, Jackson, Biloxi and Baton Rouge. Service, Atmosphere and Food was all amazing! Military discount 🫡 🇺🇸⭐️

Pretzels were good. Everything else was mediocre. My sandwich and fries were room temperature. Had to ask for ice for water. Service was poor. Our server started as one person who never came back and then someone else filled in. Had to get her attention a few times. Much more expensive than it should be. Thankfully we got lucky and came when kids ate free and pretzels were half off. Even with those discounts, Dinner was the same price as it cost all of us to eat somewhere else the night before.

Rhodeside has been a neighborhood staple for many years. Reliably good food, friendly service, they stay busy with the locals and visitors alike. I believe they also host stand up events. The $1 oyster special on Thursday is unbeatable, although I found they oysters subpar.

Give this place a try!! It is so worth it! Everything I had was excellent (well, the burgers were kind of so-so but everything else was so good!), and I think I found a place that actually made the BEST buffalo wings I've ever had! You can eat inside or on the "patio", plenty of drink options, and the steak salad I have pictured here was incredible! Even my kids, who hate steak in all forms, asked for more pieces of my dinner!

We enjoyed this place. We went for trivia. It was busy. Service was a little slow. Good beer selection. I would recommend this place.
Enjoyed the whole vibe and set up of this AMF bowling alley. The employees were friendly. If you dont come during their special deal times you will be paying per game per person. So for two people and for 3 games we ended up paying 38 dollars. Luckily, we had our own shoes. Will definitely have to come back during their special deals time so I can have more time to enjoy bowling.
Its amazing

The food was amazing. The server was great. Very comfortable environment, and the Rhodeside Slushy was just what I needed. Made me feel a bit jiggly. I like that. Fried oreo trio? Mercy.
I can’t say enough great things about Crafthouse! I live just a block away, and I am here often and never disappointed. The staff is amazing, especially Carlos (who makes the best drinks for sure) and Mohcine. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure you always feel welcomed and receive the best service. Every time I bring my 5 year old daughter here for lunch or dinner, they remember her name, welcome her warmly, and make sure to always have the robot food runner bring her food to her, which makes her day!

And the food, great! I especially recommend their wings- both boneless and fried, as well as their salmon bowls, which are phenomenal.

If you are in Ballston, or Arlington in general, and looking for great food, drinks, and atmosphere, then I highly recommend Crafthouse.
Cool place to hangout

This place was / is average at best. Service was prompt, however, lots of employees standing around and not engaged. There was a manager present who had a quite creepy presence as any employee did anything behind the bar. The turkey club was good, however, was a bit skimpy on the bacon. I noticed another customer interact with the bar staff about what drinks constituted happy hour. It seems that the drink menu may be confusing. I stuck with beer that was... as advertised. I will personally look to try another place in the future. The creepy manager and non-engaging staff turned me off a bit.
Good assortment of drinks and food to enjoy your time at a game/event.
Went to Wrestlemania. It was awesome. STONE COLD Steve Austin still got it. The undertaker and triple H are retired. The bloodline remains Supreme. And Riddle and Randy Orton are the truth.
Super nice 👍
Was one of the best experiences of my life. Totally something you can put on your bucket list. Definitely will be going back sometime soon.
Our family had do much fun!! Even the smaller kiddos enjoyed themselves!! Staff is wonderful, was very helpful at getting our group set up. Would definitely recommend visiting here!! We will be returning next year for our Family Reunion in Texas!!!
