Colonial Tavern Home To the Irish Brigade

I dine in this nice place a lot! This is my favorite spot to dine. I visit this place routinely. The cooking is just great, the team is welcoming and the prices are affordable. I like going in this spot over a nice lunch.

Great food and draft beer. Outstanding service. Repeat for sure

The place is very cool. The food is amazing!!! (Although I will admit I had the pot roast sandwich twice because it was THAT good!). The service and the staff are AMAZING. I can't wait to go again!!!

The servers are amazing and fun. They'll actually have small conversations with you if that's what you want. The food is absolutely ambrosial. The ambiance is comforting it's not as laid back as fast food place but it's not as hoity-toity as a five star restaurant. The service is prompt and considerate, to put it bluntly, this place is like having dinner made for you but a culinary god while being served by angels.

Food is delicious and the restaurant itself is cozy and charming. Our waitress made me feel a little rushed, but other than that this place is wonderful. Will definitely be back :)

The food here is really good. I had the fish and chips and was not disappointed. The pretzels and cheese were delicious as a starter too. I was able to try the shepard's pie and the beef roast and wished I could have them too. Check it out. Wasn't able to stay but they have live music if you get there later in the evening.

This is the best restaurant I've been to in months. If you're looking for interesting cuisine that melts in your mouth with an Irish flare this is the place to eat. And the waiter was superb.

This place never disappoints, especially when your server (Sara) is full of energy. Excellent food always and one of very few places that you can get Smithwick's Irish Red Ale. Also one of very few places to get homemade, beer-battered onion rings (a real self treat). A little loud, especially when bands get going, but it is a tavern. They make their own, from scratch, corned beef (they say) and it is phenomenal (remember to cut across the grain).

The first time we were here we had a lovely experience. Everything we ordered, including the crab dip was awesome. This time, the crab dip had an excessive amount of red peppers which totally changed the flavor and texture of the dip. Please, oh please, remove the red peppers from the crab dip in the future!!!!!!

Besides the great and friendly service the food was wonderful. I love a good Rueben, but the one I had here was extraordinary. They make their own corned beef and they do it superbly. The black and tan was poured with skill and a great accompaniment to the sandwich. It will be hard to order anything else next time I will want a repeat performance. This meal sets the new standard for Ruebens.

Wait staff we had was the sweetest. The atmosphere was friendly. Although we didnt eat a meal, we did have a few appetizers. The drinks were great! Snakebite was very good and the Baby Guinness done to perfection.

Had lunch there recently, was pleasantly surprised at how great the food was. Cool little spot, nice outside patio, great service. Will return when in Fredericksburg, and recommend to others.

Excellent place for the best Shepard's pie in the DMV. Always good fast and friendly service. Very Tasty Food. Their free bread and raspberry butter is to die for. Perfect stiff drinks as well. Highly recommend this friendly Irish restaurant. You'll be back, again, and again!

They have live music on a regular basis. The food is excellent and we always enjoy the band that is playing. This is one of our new hot spots for the family.

Great music provided by Full Throttle RVA. Fun atmosphere. Stage area appeared to be a little cramped for the band. Clean rest rooms.
