Reviews for Ramparts Tavern & Grill in Alexandria, VA
Trying some new places so we stopped in for lunch. Instead of the daily special we had a burger and chicken penne pasta. The... burger was great but the fries were a let down. They are home made and could have be de-starched before frying. The penne pastawas good but had way to much liquid sauce. The service was great and the beer selection was above average. I tried their ciderspecial and it was not very good so they comp’d it. I will eat here a again. Read more
A great little local joint. We've come here for random Friday nights, trivia nights, weekend brunches. Great staff all around. I... do wish they would have more veggie dishes on the menu, but I appreciate that they will adapt some of their dishes to be moreveggie-friendly. Read more
My mom and I went yesterday while waiting for our vehicle to be serviced. The nachos had very little cheese pulled pork and they... were bland. The cheese tasted super fake. I had my entrée as a burger and asked for medium well and it came to me medium rarewith blood dripping when I cut into it. I sent it back and they returned less than five minutes later and gave me the sameburger, overcooked with some kind of weird gravy on it that wasn’t there before. My mom enjoyed all of her food. The servicewas mediocre, although the server was pleasant, but did not attend much. Maybe I’ll go back with my mom one day, since sheenjoyed it, but not as a first choice. Read more
A pleasant neighborhood restaurant Overall a nice experience. We say outside so I didn't see the interior area of the... restaurant. The outdoor seating was directly on a side road, so traffic drives right by our table periodically. But they havecanopies and nice lighting to improve the ambiance. The food was very good and I enjoyed my sandwich entree. Only complaint wasthat it didn't come out as fresh/hot as I would have expected. Had to ask for dinner fresh fries to replace the cold ones I wasserved. I works rate the bar service and cocktails as average. Read more
Ordered the pulled pork sandwich with Carolina sauce, chicken penne and half rack of ribs. The ribs were plan B in case either... of the other two were sub-par. The sauce on the pork tasted more like spaghetti sauce than Carolina BBQ sauce. The pasta waslike chicken noodle soup. The quality of the ribs was poor and the accompanying fries were cold, limp and greasy. We hadn'teaten all day, spent $65 for this and still wouldn't eat it. Disappointed ???? Read more

I was so incredibly disappointed with my experience. Walking in, the facilities we entered the bar side, and were not greeted,... walked through the entire restaurant lost, until we found the other entrance. The greeter was new and nice enough. However, Ididn't feel comfortable even sitting my phone down on the table it was so sticky. The waitress was nice and friendly, but sofriendly that she wasn't cognizant of personal space nor how far she leaned down over the the table and even had her nose andmouth directly over our drinks talking as she set them down. Aside from it being a pandemic, in general that's disgusting. Whenthe appetizer came, it was clear that the ingredients were canned or old. Avocado has a way of telling a story if it's not freshand the cheese was clearly canned. We decided to leave and did take the other food home because we paid for it, but it wasunappetizing and we threw it all away. As we were leaving 20 mins after arriving, the manager didn't think to ask what was goingon, he just said, "Have a good day" this was a waste of 60.00. I'll not be returning. Read more
Nice spot, outdoor seating. Nice bar area. Inside seem to have nice private booths. There is also another side I didn't go in,... seems more for sports and family. Edited: Was 5 stars. After ordering a burger to go with American cheese I got the burgerwith a slice that I could have put on at home. American cheese is American cheese. I get that but like really $1.50 for onesingle slice that looks like I could have got at home and added it myself. Read more
