We had an excellent dining experience at the upstairs bar with Mac. She was extremely knowledgeable on all of the bourbons, cocktails, and menu. She made us several delicious cocktails, and we tried many different bourbons. The brussels sprouts and scotch eggs are a must try. I think my favorite thing that we had was the scallop and shrimp chowder, I believe it was a special, but it was absolutely outstanding!

This place is awesome! It has a nice atmosphere and the location is great! The food and the service were great also! They have indoor and outdoor seating. There is a bar as well. The lighting indoors was dimmed, so we sat outside. The restaurant sits down by the Potomac River. There are shopping and other food spots around also. Whether you're with family, friends, date, or whatever, it's a great place to grab a bite!

Honestly, I was expecting "just okay" bar brunch food, but I was very impressed with the quality and variety of food options--especially for brunch. The Scotch Eggs were perfectly prepared with a crispy outer layer and a just-past-jammy yolk in the center. For the main dish, I enioyed the Chesapeake Benedict which included plenty of crab given the price. Several other people at my table ordered the Gyro which looked incredible (along with the option for duck fat fries). The staff were attentive to our table even though the place was pretty busy and we were off to the side. I will definitely be back to Virtue Feed & Grain in future Alexandria visits--I've also heard they have a great beer and whiskey selection!

Came here for a date night and had a great time. The restaurant is in a great location in old town Alexandria, VA. There is street parking as well as garages near. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. We sat indoors upstairs at a table by the windows. It was a nice comfortable feel. We had a nice view of the park/water area below. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lively and the service was good. Our food and drinks came out quickly and everything was fresh and tasty. Also we came for an anniversary and the restaurant gave us a complimentary drink on them. That was unexpected but appreciated. There was plenty of options for food and drinks everyone can find something here. Overall id definitely recommend checking this spot out. Its definitely one we will come back to.

Great meal! The food (steak and fries) was great. I ordered it medium rare and it was red in the middle. I like that, but others may not. The green sauce is chimichurri people… don’t freak out. The drinks were delectable (whiskey and beer). The location and atmosphere are on point. Emma was a great server, much appreciated! Definitely recommend. They have indoor and outdoor seating for you to enjoy. Very surprised it was only 4.5⭐, deserves much more!

Located in the charming Old Town Alexandria, Virtue Feed and Grain offers a delightful dining experience that captures the essence of the area. The atmosphere is wonderful, we sat outside on a gorgeous August evening. It’s the kind of place where you can easily settle in and enjoy a long, leisurely meal. The drink selection is impressive, featuring a variety of creative cocktails and a well-curated wine list. Each sip was enjoyable, and the drinks complemented the meal nicely. While the ambiance and drinks set a high bar, the food, unfortunately, didn’t quite reach the same level of excellence. Some dishes were flavorful but could have benefited from a bit more refinement. There were moments where the flavors didn’t fully come together, which was a bit disappointing given the overall quality of the restaurant. Despite this, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I appreciate the effort put into the atmosphere and drink offerings. I look forward to returning to Virtue Feed and Grain to see how they continue to evolve their menu. It’s definitely worth a visit for the delightful setting and good drinks!

This place is super cool. The restaurant is beautiful inside. The menu has a little of everything. We ordered the fish tacos and the fish and chips. They were both amazing and nice portions. Everything tasted fresh. It’s a family friendly place. Our son enjoyed the chicken fingers. There’s plenty of street parking available.

The duck poutine fries were AMAZING! The brussel sprouts were phenomenal and the Birria Burger is an absolute SMASH! Our drinks were great and the service was top notch. I’ve eaten at Virtue before, but this was my best experience yet.
