   The mussels are large and delicious! They come with a variety of broth. Classic and Pestp were the ones we tried. The fries are also delicious and the come with a variety of dipping sauces. Start with a pretzel with beer cheese, add the beer and enjoy a nice meal.

   Great atmosphere! First time eating upstairs and really enjoyed the vibe. After dinner, enjoyed another brew while taking in hockey and basketball in progress.

   We had some issues with our order/server but the manager, Josh - completely saved the night and turned it around! The food was delicious and again, Josh was just so sweet and helpful! It wasn’t our first time at Augies, and we’ll continue coming back. Thanks Josh and team!

   My friend and I had a noon reservation and were seated immediately with our choice of patio (shared table) or parklet (non-shared table). We chose the patio since it didn’t seem to be too crowded. The lower level where the bar is located is a pretty small, tight space, and we had to walk through it to get to the patio. So, on a busy day or night, I can’t imagine eating in that space without someone bumping into you. We had the humus and tuna tartar for starters. The tuna tartar was so-so, a bit on the bland side, neither tasting the tuna nor the marinade. The humus, on the other hand, was quite tasty. My friend had a salad, and shared in my classic flavor mussels and a side of frites. I can’t attest to my friend’s like or dislike of the salad, but the mussels seem fresh and had a good taste to them. I wish, however, that the classic sauce had more flavor and not so bland so I can enjoy soaking the toasted bread in it. I like that the frites came with four different dipping sauce, with my favorite being the sriracha (or some other hot sauce) mixed with mayonnaise. The service was fair, but I think I will stay away during their busiest time. All in all, it was a good dining experience, and I would probably eat there again. My only recommendation is to turn down the night club music, especially during brunch and lunch. The music and the volume just seem off for that time of the day, and my friend and I had to shout across the table, so much so that we just quit talking. LOL, SMH.

    Great food. Server was great but didn’t check up on us often. Had to go up to counter and ask for check. They also didn’t remember we were celebrating a birthday. Manager was nice about it and removed items from our check and apologized.

    As usual, the service was great, but the chef over-salts the mussels so that the broth below - usually the best bit - is inedible. In Europe, one always gobbles up the broth, but at Augie’s it’s just too salty.

    Basics all positive, food and service very good, prices reasonable (though beer on the expensive side!) and outdoor seating with heaters a real plus for a cool evening. Only downside -- very loud, annoying music!

    We have been coming to Augies since they opened, and for the very first time, had the worst experience ever. We were there on St Patrick’s day for dinner and a couple of drinks, so we completely understand how busy things can get. Once we were seated, several minutes past, and we noticed the servers at every table around us, but seeing us sitting there, nobody ever stopped by to acknowledge us, not even a glass of water. We sat a bit longer understanding how busy it was, and we were not in a rush. Approximately 15-20 minutes after we sat down, we still had yet to get a server to our table, but saw another couple get seated right next to us. Within seconds a server was at their table with water and taking their drink order, meanwhile my husband and I were still without a single glass of water and we had tried previously to get someone’s attention. At that point we decided to get up and leave, and ended up having dinner elsewhere! We are loyal fans of Augies, and will definitely be back, but word to the wise, don’t sit upstairs, that was our first time up there, and it will be my last!

    This is a review for two visits. First - Ate a meal with friends with kids. Everyone found something to love here. Service was great. Drinks are always good. Must try some of the mussels. Second - showed up with a group without a reservation but just wanted a place to gather for a quick drink at the start of a birthday party with many stops. They were hugely helpful in getting us space and drinks quickly. From the front door to the ordering to the drink quality to the paying the tab everyone took excellent care of us and got us on our way. Really appreciated the teamwork here.

    This is a great place for a first date, or a birthday party with a dozen friends. The outdoor Beer Garden is my favorite but no reservations available for that space, so get there early.

    Everything was terrific except the volume and choice of music. We dined at noon on Saturday among young families, older folks, and young professionals. I could not hear the person across the table from me and the choice of music raised my anxiety. Not the relaxing hour I hoped for.

    My family including my spouse, me, an 8-year-old, a 4-year-old, and my mother dined upstairs. We have lived in Alexandria for a long time, and have wanted to visit this restaurant for a while. We thought it would be a good choice with kids, since we thought we wouldn’t have to worry about our kids being a little noisy, which was true, but it was also a bit difficult to hold a conversation with the loud music and there wasn’t a kids menu. TLDR: not ideal for families with kids. We are big fans of mussels, but we’re underwhelmed by the mussels at Augie’s, since they were very small and a bit bland, requiring a lot of effort for small morsel. We got two different flavors: Rosé and Classic, but it took several bites of each to figure out which was which. The rest of the menu was overwhelming with choices, and the food besides the mussels and the service was good, but everything evened out to an average dining experience. The restaurant is primarily catering to food to go well with the extensive beer and wine selection. It is a really great courtyard bar experience, and the mussels probably taste a lot better after a few beers.
