Horse Inn

“What an amazing experience! We go there and there was a 30 minute wait. So we put our name down and then walked over to the bar to grab a drink while we waited. There was live music as well! We orders a few things when we go to our table. 1- horse fries. The sauce with them complimented all of the other flavors. 2- wings- perfectly cooked, crispy on fhe outside and juicy on the inside. They also had a homemade sauce they tossed them in, a mixture of sweet and spicy! 3. Tips on toast- delicious and flavorful. 4. Mussels- they were plump and delicious and the broth was super flavorful and the in house sausage complimented the whole dish. 5. Strawberry pound cake- They made the pound cake crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Mind blown! The service was great! Hands down, the best restaurant in the city. Bravo and we will be returning soon.”

“We have tried to get a reservation here many weekends without luck. We booked a few weeks in advance this time! Our first visit here and we can see why its always full. When we arrived for our 5:00 reservation, many of the people in line (in front of us) did not have a reservation and were seated anyways. However, since we live an hour away, we will be sure to always make a reservation first. Our server for the evening was Lewis. He was fantastic! He was friendly, made several recommendations and gave us a brief history of the building when asked. The live music started around 6:00 and was fabulous. We saw a painting or picture of them hanging on the wall near where they played, which was a nice touch. The food was delicious! The fries are very unique and out of this world good. My boyfriend said his burger was cooked to his liking and really good. I enjoyed my Rachel sandwich. Both desserts were good. The Pot De Creme was exceptional. Glad I was able to get a cup of coffee with my dessert. The prices were fair. Overall, we have a famtastic date night and look forward to coming back soon!”

“Delicious food, nice place for intimate conversation, front bar is very cozy. Great cocktails. Local cheese plate was very good, had burgers, delicious, definitely save for pot de crema and their sweet cream ice cream.”

“Wow..not our 1st choice, but wow certainly a great choice...the staff is amazing, the food is amazing and the history..wow...yes wow...the pickle sample is housemade. The shrimp and grits certainly an enjoyable.....and the dessert..well chocolate creme brulee, even I would like more sugar but the taste neverless amazing...yes its a hole in a wall but you should check it out...if not you really miss out...btw..parking is cross the block..great place..”

“This place was BUSY on a Saturday night (a good thing for a restaurant and a good sign for those coming in for the first time)... we didn't have a reservation, having planned to late, but they do keep tables open for walk-ins and despite being told it was an hour wait (whatever, we knew we ran that risk), we were seated in 15 minutes - Luck, maybe? But awesome all the same! For how busy they were, the server was very attentive and very accommodating as we were yapping away and constantly not ready with our orders so kuddos for the team and putting up with us! I love the mystery beer concept, its not great beer, but being from DC at like $2 a can, I am not passing that up, ever. And a cheap beer with a burger is the perfect combo! On to the burger... I have heard that this is a great burger... and I have to conclude that I agree though it is reminiscent of a Big Mac - just way better ingredients - it has to be the sauce they put on it... Anyway, nice size patty, good amount of toppings and a quality bun (not too soft, not too thick, bread soaks up some of the juices but doesn't fall apart). The mussels were quite excellent as well. It was a Thai curry broth the night we were there and it was drinkable, like soup... we did ask for extra bread... enough said. I am going to take a minute too and praise their spirit free cocktails. THIS IS HOW THEY SHOULD BE MADE. They used bitters, tonics, etc to craft something that tasted like a cocktail but without alcohol which means they were not sickly sugary concoctions, but expertly crafted beverages. Just really great options. All that said though, their espresso martini was one of the worst I have had. Just skip that.”
