They served some late night food while we were bar hopping! I got a quick snack of the hummas platter, the pita was very warm and the portion size of the hummas was amazing! This was exactly what I needed on a very cold night! The waitress was amazing, she was very nice and made sure everything came out okay and continued to check on us throughout our time here!

I enjoyed an Angus Bacon Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries, and it was absolutely delicious! The service was fantastic, and the upstairs ambiance was incredible, featuring charming brick walls, cozy warm lighting, and an excellent playlist. I highly recommend this restaurant--it's a standout spot! They also take extra care to prevent cross-contamination, so you can dine with confidence. If you're lucky, you might even have Mr. Addrease as your server--he's outstanding!

Chadwick's will always have a special place in my heart because it is where my husband and I had our first date. We have also continued coming here throughout the years. It has a great location near the water and a varied menu. They are open for lunch, dinner, as well as brunch. It is also a big place so typically not a wait to get a table, there is an upstairs as well as a downstairs seating area and a large bar. This time we came with a couple friends for dinner and we were sat downstairs in this side area. It is almost like an enclosed patio with a big front window, stone walls, and lots of pretty string lights coming from the ceiling. In my opinion it's the best area to sit at for ambiance. We started our menu with a round of drinks as well as an order of the Spicy Chicken Egg Rolls. They were warm and nicely fried served with a sweet chili sauce. A first we weren't given small plates so it was bit challenging to eat and dip until we asked and got some. But overall a solid starter. For my entree I got the Buttermilk Fried Chicken which is typically a Fried Chicken breast, bacon gravy, mac & cheese, coleslaw, and a biscuit. You are able to swap the sides for whenever of your choosing so I got veggie of the day (broccoli) instead of slaw. It was a nice sized portion, but the taste of some components left a little bit to be desired. The chicken was moist and had good breading. But when fried chicken isn't on the bone it just is not the same. There was absolutely no seasoning on the broccoli. Thank goodness for the bacon gravy which was tasty and honestly wish I had a bit more of it. Their Mac and cheese wasn't anything special, but was fine. My husband however got the Short Ribs entree which were braised birria short ribs, consommé, mashed potatoes, and sautéed spinach. He let me have a few bites and honestly he won dish of the evening. It was a well plated and executed dish. Everything on the plate worked well together and the consommé was so flavorful and helped to elevate everything else. Might get this one in the future for myself

Got there when they opened on a Saturday for brunch. Delicious food! Had eggs Benedict with bacon and cheese grits and biscuits and gravy. Brunch specials were their Mimosas and Bloody Marys. Service was good, asking a few times if we needed anything. Love that this restaurant is in an old historical building. Great character!

I had read a few reviews about this place and decided to come for dinner... As we walked in, there was a guy lounging on a chair right at the entrance, who asked us if we were looking to have dinner...we said Yes. He grabbed a couple of menus and showed us to a table....the odd thing is that he was not standing up waiting to greet people like most hosts would....but lounging....LOL. Luis was our server and he was very nice and attentive. We got some IPAs (delish) and some really good food...I got the salmon and my husband got the buttermilk fried chicken plate. Both were really well done and deliciously prepared. The portions were adequate..not huge...but not small either... Great place with a nice cozy vibe....located in an old brick and stone buidling...

Been here a few times since i have lived in Alexandria. They have great drinks, delicious food and an awesome bar staff. There is one bartender who works here who has become almost like my go to guy. He make you feel so welcomed. Depending on the time of the year will determine the atmosphere. Siring football season you have the commraderie of xheering for your sport. On the slowe night great place to chill and relax with a drink and the tasty big mc. Friday during summer is very much the party night. Bit overall great place.

This place was the place serving food past 11 and I am so glad I came here. Customer service was good. Stayed downstairs due to a party going on upstairs. Food and drinks were very good. Ordered the: Grilled lamb burger: 9/10 I wish it had a little more of the yogurt sauce Fries: seasoned well and fried just enough for a light crisp Chadwick's reserve Manhattan: very good, do not get if not a fan of bitters
