   I have been to this restaurant many times before. It never disappoints. On lovely day is it so appealing to sit on the patio and enjoy a leisurely lunch. The food was deliciously and the service very pleasant and professional. I will be returning.

   We've been coming to the Hunter's Head for a couple of decades. Food is fine, although not spectacular. Service was good. It's no longer a "pub," though - they've basically converted it into a sit-down/table service restaurant. I suspect the conversion made it more efficient for everyone, but it's lost something in the trade. I'd recommend a revamp of the menu and a return to pub form, if that were possible. It was a unique venue and lots of fun and some of that fun is gone.

   My family and I have come to Hunter's Head for over 10 years. We have noticed lately that their food and service are deteriorating. This last visit sadly made it clear that things are getting worse than better. Our server was non attentive, our meal arrived before our appetizer, which we cancelled, and we left feeling sad about our experience. Doubt that we will go back.

   This rustic British pub is a joy! The ambience is like nowhere else and the meat is raised locally. We love eating here when we’re in the area.

    I used to go there all the time. This was the one time we received awful service. The waitress ignored us to get a couple behind us first even tough we were clearly in line to be seated. She ignored our table constantly. We ordered appetizers, and entrees and received all together at once. I had to ask for bread 3 times and got it at the very end. She either hated brown people or clearly wasnt feeling our table. Sad cause we came all the way from miami for this. Will never return.

    The food was marginal at best and over priced for the quality. Outside dining was sadly in a tent. It was a true disappointment.

    They only have the pub menu for dinner. There is no longer Filet Mignon, etc. Only bar food for dinner.

    Our waitress Pam was so rude every time we asked her for anything. Then when I told her all three of us needed Ketchup, she brought one small cup for all 3 of us. When she had no one in the dining room and only us she still did not even fill out drinks with refills. When I had to get up to find someone else to help us, she got mad and said that she was do not ask the other waitress because she was busy and that she would help us and what did we want? ( the tone and the way she treated us throughout the entire time was terrible) we continue to be polite and kind giving her grace thinking she must’ve had a bad day, but no matter what we said it didn’t matter. When you’re paying 16.50 for a cheeseburger to begin with I expect better service. Also when I receive the food, the fries were lukewarm and as well as the burger.

    Hunter’s Head Tavern is one of my favorite places to meet up with friends and enjoy a nice meal. Outside dining is beautiful and inside is quaint and private. The waitstaff are friendly and service is great, especially Ailesh. The menu offers unique dishes as well as old favorites. I’d highly recommend a visit for brunch, lunch, dinner, or drinks.

    Attended the Easter Brunch 2023, and the food was outstanding! They were slammed so the service was a bit slow, but man the food was incredible. I will say that the price felt a little steep for this frugal franny as the main course was paired with inexpensive sides (grits, eggs, and fruit), however you also got an incredible app, salad, and dessert. So overall, I was delighted!

    I’m sure the lovely Tavern inside must be much better than the dirty tent and chairs outside. I think they must have been short on staff for the Easter brunch because we waited 10+ min. for the table to be cleaned so we could be seated at our assigned table while others were moved ahead of us to their assigned seats. When each course was served, it was cold already - soup and the entre and the nice dessert. I suppose the food sat until our waitress had time to get it to us. It would have been a lovely meal otherwise on this special day. I was both disappointed and embarrassed for taking my guest to Hunter’s Head.

    Hunter's Head consistently delivers on food and atmosphere. The food is locally sourced and cooked to perfection, the mixologists always deliver, and the atmosphere is that perfect blend of casual refinement. Always a favorite when we have guests from out of town.

    It was Good Friday and I was searching for seafood … what better than the Cod ‘n’ Chips at Hunter’sHead?! Perfectly prepared, professionally served and delicious. Could have been in London! This little place in Upperville never disappoints.

    Nice venue, especially inside. We sat outdoors in a tent which was not very scenic (maybe take the side of the tent off facing the garden?) - but the seating was very comfortable. Food was fine - not amazing but good. Seemed decently priced. Staff are really lovely.

    This pains me to write this review as I love Hunter’Head! The food was subpar. Usually us is fantastic. Some items were cold, steak was undercooked and the trout special had zero flavor. We did not complain as the server was extremely busy, the poor young lady seemed to be the only one working in our main dining area. I will still return as this establishment has a special place in my heart. I hope it was just an “off” night and the Hunter’s Head I love dearly returns!

    As always, Hunter's Head served up a wonderful ambience and great food. Our server this time appeared a bit rushed; had to be reminded on a thing or two, and didn't ask us how we wanted to receive our check. She did go back and split it on request, saying "I'll try if I can remember" (2 couples, 2 checks) then rushed off before we could remind her. The divide came back wrong, but was close enough that there was no need for further contact. We always go back to HH from time to time.

    I was very disappointed. Have eaten there before and it was excellent. At this visit I felt unwelcome by our server. Our reservation was at 3 pm. When we sat she told us that lunch was over and dinner hadn’t started so “bear with us”. Service was poor. My food was mediocre. I was with a party of 4 and we ordered two orders of sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The waitress came to our table with a dirty plastic bin that had two pieces of what looked like pound cake wrapped in plastic wrap and one piece of the cake they use for the sticky toffee pudding to I guess show us there was only one order left. There was no need to bring a dirty bin to the table. Overall not a great visit.

    British pub style restaurant, located in a converted historic building; ask about its history. The food is delicious, the location and scenery are beautiful. If your in the area hiking or going on a wine crawl, this place is an amazing spot. Just make sure to have reservations, especially on Sundays.
