Earp's Ordinary

The facility is amazing and the staff were good(satisfactory). Our server disappeared for great lengths of time, didnt know what type of fish in fish tacos. Etc..not complaining just explain-in!We had the cauliflower appetizer. We didnt dig deeper into a description, my fault. it was heavily breaded and the actual cauliflower was pretty mushy? My wife had the fish tacos and I had the smash-burger n fries. The food was good and the drinks were below average. No chardonnay at all and the old fashion was below average. Luve music was a huge plus. Thank You

We went their with friends on 8/30 to see Whole lotta ROSES, a band we really like. My wife ordered chicken wings and fried cauliflower. The wings were average, not the worst I've tasted, not the best. The fried cauliflower was nice and crispy but definitely needed salt. I had the Mac and Cheese with Buffalo chicken bites. The Mac and Cheese was creamy, tender, and delicious. The Buffalo chicken bites were tasty, crispy, and tender. I am fairly certain they weren't homemade. I also ordered the meatball appetizer to share. The meatballs were tender and very tasty but lacked seasoning. The sauce was tasty. The service was very good, considering how busy it was.The stage was plenty big enough for the band. Plenty of room on the dance floor. It is a little $$$ but it's in Fairfax. Earps Ordinary has no parking. We did a find a parking garage nearby, happily it was free after 6:00 pm. The food was very good, my critiques are noted above.

Maybe things are better when live music is happening but it was a weird atmosphere, the food was not memorable and we felt like an afterthought to our server. Probably won't go back.

We visited the pop up location at the old Zandra's Taqueria, which is serving as their temporary location until their permanent spot on Main Street is completed (about 1 block over). We visited on a Friday night and it was busy. They feature live music Wed-Sat evenings 7:30-10:00 pm from an eclectic array of performers. Although it was busy, we had no problem getting a table for 2 because we made same day reservations through OpenTable.We had the soft pretzels and Brussels sprouts for an appetizer. I had the fish tacos for my entree. The food was delicious. They source their ingredients locally and have a rotating menu. Definitely liked this place and will go back.

Had drinks and dinner at the awesome pop up on a Wednesday evening. Live music. Packed house. Super friendly staff. Enjoyed more than a few manhattans and whiskey smashes over amazinggggg Brussels sprouts (roasted and sweetened with pomegranate and orange), shrimp, and pretzels. Finished up with tacos (all 3 kind) and falafel burger. Everything came with fries and all the entree portions were extremely generous... and delicious. These type of dining experiences make going out truly worthwhile!

Now called Mackenzie's. The food here is fresh and the portions abundant. The dumplings are light delicate and spicy all at once! The spaghetti with meatball is just like home. Picky son considers the Mac and cheese with Buffalo chicken to be a treat.

Can't say enough good things about Earp's Ordinary Restaurant and Music Venue. Family owned and operated. Heard about it and tried it out for ourselves and glad we did. Great place with good food, live music and plenty of floor room for dancing. We will go back!

There are only two good things about this place:1) The karaoke is lively and located in a non-judgmental environment where people cheer each other on.2) I didn't catch his name but the tall bartender with the beard and long blond hair was super helpful.Other than that, the rest of the workers were rude, avoidant, disorganized, and unprofessional. If it weren't for karaoke, then the place would also feel like an old folk's home. It definitely is not a charming place. No wonder it's called Earp's ORDINARY.

Good food and great live music. Order at the bar and food shows up quick. Similar to but not same Kitchen as the place next door.

Enjoyed the live music. Drinks a bit pricey. The thin-skinned bald-headed bartender was rude and unprofessional.
