    Really nice burger and side. Went to the happy hour that ends at 7 and also got a cocktail at a discount. Outside eating was good and there were TVs both inside and outside to watch sports. Overall it was nice with a good variety of food. No complaints and will definitely come back again.

    Really blown away by this place! First time we had it (today), we got takeout and everything was delicious! It was so good as takeout, so we’re definitely planning on going to eat in the restaurant. We ordered A LOT! The Buffalo Chicken Wrap (which I can say is my favorite - and I’ve had a lot of Buffalo chicken wraps), Lamb Gyro, Steak Quesadilla, Grilled Wings, and a side of Jambalaya (also one of my favorites and love that you can get it as a side!!) I honestly can’t wait to go back and try some more items.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    I stopped by this restaurant to have a drink, but I ended-up getting dessert as well. I had the Brownie Sundae which was just the right amount of sweetness and a sweet fruity drink. One thing that surprised me about this Restaurant is how big the inside was. Friendly staff made the visit all the more worthwhile.

    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 🫡 🇺🇸⭐️

    Fun and lively bar with a tasteful New Orleans theme. The food was great. I got jambalaya with blackened shrimp! The drinks were even better. Friendly staff and patrons, everyone down for a conversation.

    I stopped in for lunch between doctors appointments today and had a great experience. The food was good, the service was quick and attentive, and my frozen white peach margarita was great. I recommend the French dip and the house made voodoo chips! I would definitely come back.

    I am a discerning wing eater and the GRILLED style tops the scales. Truly wonderful... so good that I imagine I will lay awake at night wanting more. It"'s all I can do to not order another round of 8 wonderfully plump flavorful wings right now from Sam the bartender. Just means I have to come back next time I am in town on business!

    This was my second time here. First time I was very pleased. They have pretty good food and drinks. This time was terrible. Not sure why my server was sitting down on her phone almost the entire time I was there. If you are going to be on the phone at least get my order correct. Or maybe don’t sit right where your guests can see you. The manager and other workers were helpful so it really does suck, but I will not return.

    Good place to have lunch or brunch. Also is a good place to good with friends or family. We really like the Lamb gyro, it was very tasteful. The service was good and the prices are affordable.

    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!

  • 5/5 David G. 6 months ago on Google • 67 reviews
    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.

    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!

    Standard bar food that you wont come away impressed with but won't be upset about. Nothing here is made from fresh ingredients, but instead frozen - confirmed by the staff when I asked. Got the chef special chicken wrap, Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and the dessert empanadas. The sandwich was good but the other dishes weren't anything notable 😮‍💨 Better to not come with high expectations and some $ to burn, otherwise you might be disappointed.

    Food looked so good I forgot to take a picture until I dug in. We had Irish coffees, mozzarella sticks, breakfast tostadas and a burger and everything was delicious! Not your typical frozen food service cheese sticks, these were homemade. Irish coffee was so good we had two. Our server was phenomenal despite us being indecisive. lol we will definitely eat her again when we’re in the area.

    The atmosphere was warm and fun, but the food was a bit underwhelming. I enjoyed the sauce most on the cali catfish tacos.

  • 5/5 Jeff E. 1 year ago on Google
    So the shrimp poboy is excellent. But if you want over the top outstanding, order the Cajun pasta and ask for a second baguette to soak up the amazing sauce of this pasta when you've finished the even more amazing pasta. If they have key lime pie available (seasonal) get it. The folks that work here are even better than the amazing food they prepare and serve. This will be a go-to place for me with every business trip I make here. Thanks SO much to Lynesha and Connor, you two really make this a great place.

    We had our monthly office lunch here for the first time the food and service was decent

    Ragtime is the best! We got married 3/25/2023 and chose to do our rehearsal dinner here. With so many restaurants over pricing and under delivering (especially for anything Wedding related), Ragtime was a breath of fresh air! The booking was super easy and stress fee, the staff were unbelievable (my guests are still talking about how amazing our bartender was! ), the space was great, and the food was perfect! The food quality for a restaurant as laid back and casual is impressive! We also all came back for our after reception party and the staff were friendly, accommodating and attentive. The wedding activities aside, it's just a cool place all around. I've never had a bad meal, drink or service here and recommend to people all the time! Thank you for being awesome :)

  • 5/5 E R. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved our dinner here so much that we came back after our concert. Our server, Tynesha was fun and energetic. The food (Po Boy, pretzels with dips and hummus platter) were just wonderful with great flavors! The Virginia draft beers were good too.

    I am in WA on bus. trip. I was in number of restaurants but this one cannot be compared. Fine (craft of art) food, vide selection of drinks, fast service, inviting interior, friendly staff, and very reasonable price. All in one ! Will come here each time i visit WA.

  • 5/5 Sam F. 11 months ago on Google
    Ragtime has an amazing lively atmosphere with a large dining room and a large outdoor patio. The restaurant offers a diverse menu that includes American classics, such as burgers, sandwiches, and salads, as well as a wide variety of craft beer and cocktails. The quality of food and drinks are amazing. The menu is as extensive, with plenty of options for both meat-eaters and vegetarians. The atmosphere is as fun and lively, with a friendly and welcoming staff. The restaurant often hosts live music on weekends, adding to the energetic vibe. One of the standout features of Ragtime is its extensive beer list, featuring a rotating selection of local and regional craft beers. I appreciate the knowledgeable staff who are happy to offer recommendations and help customers find the perfect beer to pair with their meal. (Talking about you Matt and Sam!) They have a lot of TVs always playing everyone’s favorite teams and what I thought was awesome was the live earth cam video they played there on St. Patrick’s day. Ragtime is my favorite place to go and hang out with family and friends, the staff feel just like family as well!

  • 5/5 Eliana S. 11 months ago on Google
    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!

    Enjoyed trivia with friends here on a Monday as well as drinks and appetizers. I really liked their Revivalist cocktail and brisket egg rolls.
