Dogwood Tavern

I wanted to grab a quick beer and burger and was close to the Dogwood tavern parking lot is tight but I found a spot. The minivan in front of me was pulling out so I got lucky. I grab a seat at the bar and look at the menu and beer selections. I ask if they have anything like Yuengling and the bartender said the high barbery. So I order one. The menu is pretty extensive. I wanted a simple burger so i decide on the build your own burger with bacon and jack cheese cooked medium well. For a Saturday afternoon it was not that busy. Maybe later in the evening people decide to visit. I order a second beer and my food is arriving. Looks pretty good. They have waffle fries, something I never see on the menu. They're fresh cooked and hot. The burger is pasty and cooked to order. If you order the burger be aware, it's good sized. I finish my food and drink and I'm gone. The only complaint is the fruit flies. You're eating and drinking and they're bussing around.

All of the dishes we tried (apple and chicken salad, Buddha bowl) were really good. The stand out - shrimp and grits-- was some of the best I've had in a while (surprise!). I came for the reviews and now I'm adding my 4 star!They even have a small breakfast bar which I'm hoping to try on a future visit. The service was excellent, and the location of Falls Church City is great for walking off a big meal.I'll be back!

Party of 2 on Tuesday around 5:30pm. No wait but the restaurant filled up by 6pm. Great Tuesday deals on seafood. We tried oysters, mussels, and shrimp. They were all great. They also had live music going on. Waitress messed up drink orders multiple times but apologized and fixed them quickly. Will definitely be coming back.

Looking to do something different while in Washington, this tavern was great for American cuisine. Service was amazing the server took the time in taking our order , and explaining things . The hostess as well, helping the tables get menus and water . The Fourth of July limited menu included a brisket platter, which it wasn't good , it lacked flavor and did not have any sauce . The portions were good , but the platter did not impress .The build your own burger was a good option, since you have the flexibility in ordering with special topping , and can't forget to try the Dogwood special sauce , it was delicious! Great atmosphere, good to visit with friends to have a drink .

So let me tell you about this VA gem ! Dogwood is open late and have great food. The wings with the green goddess dressing lawwwdddd and them tater tots are bomb asf!!! Great atmosphere and such a good vibe when you walk in! You can sit indoors or outside ! I love love this place thank you to my guys who took me here! If I never know what I want to eat for the day I always come here because it's sooooo good no matter what you choose!!!

Nice place to stop in for dinner or a drink. They have an extensive menu and decent drink prices. The bar also has pretty much any game you are looking for. I went with the Dogwood Burger w/ a side of waffle fries. It's pretty massive and has a girthy bun but overall pretty good. I also tried their jambalaya which was OK. They have a pretty massive menu so you'll probably find something you'll like here. They also have a kiddo menu. Don't expect 5* service, but it's a casual place to have a drink and dinner with friends. I would also expect a pretty good time here on St. Patrick's Day.

Falls Church has an ever growing number of restaurants but Dogwood is one of the best around. The inside feels like an Irish pub with lots of wood and brick (even a fireplace in the winter) and a patio out back during good weather. They have a varied menu with something for everyone, including lots of bar type food. This trip was just a visit to the bar to have a beer and some nachos.They have a good draft beer selection featuring many local/Virginia beers. The nachos are huge and made with real cheese, not the fake cheese sauce like you get at the ballpark. The steak is tasty and worth the few extra bucks. Bartenders are friendly and it's one of the few NoVa places where patrons even talk to each other at the bar.Friendly local place that I'll be back to again.

Came here after work for a HH meal at 6 p.m. The drink deals end at 7, so I ordered a dark micro brew, which was a Mexican lager.The day was perfect for eating outside, so I got a high table in their back patio. Nice outdoor space that faces the parking lot. I started my meal with a half dozen oysters. Points for fresh horseradish and lemon.I also ordered seafood linguine. It came with tons of salmon, plus mussels, shrimp and clams. The marinara sauce was very watery and not that flavorful (you don't want to dunk your bread in it). But that said, their toasted bread was nice and crusty. The mussels were plump and tender, though, and the dish came with a generous helping of salmon. The shrimp came with the tail-on, which is interesting that it keeps its shape - but annoying to peel. For veggies - I ordered a side of roasted Brussel sprouts with sweet chili sauce. There's too much going on here in this dish. The chili glaze came with balsamic glaze and competed in flavors. The sauce dousing took away from the crispness of the sprouts. Then they added shallots and parmesan cheese- enough!Service was great, however, and I appreciated their attentiveness.

Clearly this is a great spot. It's always packed. People will flock to places with good food, service, and atmosphere. This place has them all! At first, I was on the fence as the younger hostess seemed to look over me for seating more times than one for those who tipped him upfront or maybe it was because I was a party of one. Who knows, but that was my perception. Needless to say the older hostess was more than pleasant. He quickly cleaned a hightop and asked me if that was ok, which it was. My sever was fabulous. She was great with menu recommendations and the daily chef specials. I ordered and everything came quite quickly. The food was phenomenal. I consider myself a burger connoisseur, and the burger was great!! Thumbs up!!

Yummy. First time. Get the build your own. First time for me here and I'm so excited to taste this yummy delicious burger after a long flight
