Railstop Gastropub - Alexandria

A better run business would post its hours outside clearly and would close the doors when they are closed. Service was fine and food was fine when we were the only ones. Another night at 10:20 for a drink and appetizer. Doors wide open. There were about 14 other people who had a great time. I ignored us for 10 minutes. To the bar. I was ignored and left until I finally said sorry. I asked what the procedure was to get service, and the bartender said, We close in ten minutes, so . . . . You thought that was a good reason to act like we weren't there?! We took the hint and left. Note that the hours are not printed on the door, in the room or on the menus. And who closes at 10:40? Later I checked Google My Business, who said they closed at 10:00. One, a good restaurant seats until they are closed, and badly managed do not know that. Two, have the meaning, a closed sign or the attitude to recognize other people.

Save yourself the time and go outside the hotel. I ordered the mac n cheese, which was quite literally the worst iteration of mac n cheese I've had. There was no cheese sauce. Just a cheesy water in the dish with crumbs of cheese and breadcrumbs that wouldn't stick to the noodles. It was off tasting and despite being hungry, I only had about five bites before deeming it inedible. I often eat in hotel bars and have a general idea of what standards to expect. This was really that bad. And that concoction took over thirty minutes to even show up, too. I'd also note my friend was also disappointed with the burger as well. He had a few bites and asked for it to be taken away. I don't like to write reviews, but this was just that bad I wish I'd payed attention and saved myself some money. For 7 dollars less and a microwave I could have had kraft which would have been gourmet in comparison.

This is the worst place I have ever visited anywhere in the country. We were the only ones in the restaurant. We waited almoat an hour for our food. I needed a refill and the staff couldn't be bothered to come back and check on us while we waited. I got up to go to the bar to find the place was deserted. One of the servers came out, saw me at the bar, and disappeared into the back while I waited another ten minutes for someone to take my drink order since our waitress never came back to ask if we needed refills. My boyfriend ordered a plain burger. An hour later a burger came out that had everything on it. He picked the lettuce off and put it on top of his fries because there was nowhere else to put it. The second server GRABBES THE LETTUCE OFF HIS FRIES. Yes. He reached down AND GRABBED FOOD OFF HIS PLATE. I don't leave bad reviews, but this place is terrible. Do not come here.

The food was tough and bland. The 48 dollar bill for 2 people to dine here was outrageous for food this sub-par. Better dining could be found at McDonald's. The best part of the experience was the ice water

They're billed as a gastro pub, but their food is like that of a hospital cafeteria. I ordered a $9 salad for dinner. What I got was a tiny, low quality side-sized salad missing the onions it was purported to have. They write their menu as if a lot of care went into their food. Highly disappointing.
