“The food here passes the test! My friend and I stopped by the bar and decided to grab some food while we enjoyed a couple libations. I got the chicken wings, potato salad and greens. My friend got the fried pork chops, mac and cheese and cabbage. Everything was good. Trust me I am one of those people who don't trust everyone's potato salad or Mac and cheese. Everything was good, fresh and tasty. We will definitely be back. Oh, and the bartender was a doll. I can't remember her name but she was awesome!“

“I am so happy this place is still open. ❤️ I used to work in the area. Whenever time would allow, my go-to order was the "Royale": BLT with fried egg, american cheese, and hot sauce. Just a mess of a sammich....BUT SOOOO FRIKKIN GOOD!!! Their fried chicken is good, so are the mashed potatoes. I wouldn't stray away from those options, but have heard good things about the pork chops.The very best thing about this place is THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE!!! I could always count on service with a smile, sometimes a good joke or two.“

“Loved this restaurant. It's about 0.6 of mile away from the very busy main street area of Alexandria. There is plenty of street parking nearby and on side streets with a parking garage somewhere nearby too.Great place to grab brunch. Delicious food and we tried the Bellini which was good too! Would recommend!“

“What I ordered: K&R Old FashionedI have not yet eaten here and even though most of my reviews are about food, I have to say that this place has the best Old Fashioned in all of DC. I've ordered Old Fashioned drinks in multiple fancy pancy places in DC, Arlington, and Alexandria. One of my favorites is the Hamilton Loft Bar. But King and Rye definitely takes the lead. I don't know how they do it but it must be the Basil Hayden's Bourbon and the freaking delicious Luxardo brand maraschino cherries they put in. Each time I ask for a couple extras on the side. So stop by and give it a try. Tell them Marcos sent you.“

“Good but not great. The Brussel sprouts were fantastic. So was the honey mustard and sweet potato fries. The service was fast and friendly. Emphasis on fast. The chicken was just good. I wasn’t a huge fan of the breading and it was a touch dry. Not anything terrible, but I’ve had better. It was good enough where I would give it another chance. Overall, positive experience and I would recommend it to a friend!“
