About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
William Jeffrey’s is the natural evolution of what a quintessential tavern once was - the center-of-town gathering place for neighbors to meet and talk politics, celebrate a milestone, or even drown one’s sorrows. We are that neighborhood gathering place today, where all feel welcome, no matter their reason for visiting.

Our goal is to be familiar, with no pretense. We believe food & drink doesn’t have to be served on a white tablecloth to be of high-quality & truly enjoyed. We believe in things like curing meats in-house, pickling liquor with fresh ingredients to elevate a cocktail, & kind service. We also offer a 16-tap bar, fireplaces, raw oyster bar, and HDTVs.

Most importantly, we believe in creating a comfortable environment where you can brunch with friends on the weekend, dine at our upper bar while watching a game, or stop by for a late night craft beer. A quintessential tavern indeed.

    My first visit here & it was for Brunch to catch up w/an old friend. The service was decent. The food was pretty good. I had the berry French toast & sausage. Good portions. My friend had the chicken fried chicken & enjoyed it. I appreciated that it wasn’t a spot with loud music blaring or where you can’t hear yourself talk. Would recommend.

    Visiting our daughter in Arlington - she lives just blocks away, but had never been because she didn't think it looked like much from the outside. I thought the brunch menu looked good so we decided to try it. We had a great time, lots of personal attention, and stayed for a football game!!! We didn't try the brunch omelet and belgian waffle bar, but will definitely try it next time! Was surprised about how nice it was and how much space there was once inside. We had our own little "private room", but we still felt like we were part of the bar scene. I think this is our daughter's new hangout for football games!

    It was an awful experience. I have called the restaurant a day before to ensure that vegetarian options without garlic and truffle oil will be available and I was told "Yes". When we reached there, we were told that all vegetarian dishes have garlic and all they can give me is Nachos. The chef refused to accommodate us, which is entirely not acceptable. We had already ordered the drinks so we decided to stay back and I asked to make quesadilla with spinach, red peppers or any other vegetables they had, but instead I got the one with cheese and jalapeños only. I felt bad about the server as she was very nice, but she could not do anything. It looks like that food is not freshly made as all different vegetable side options were already cooked, which is surprising with the price that they ask for. Noise level with time was too high and it was impossible to talk. Next, we both parked our cars in the garage that they recommend and validate for 3 hours. But, at the time when we got out frustrated we were both charged for the car parking for $11. This is a complete scam place and please be aware as they are not even close to what they advertise it. I never had this bad experience in any place in my life.

    Bit loud with nothing to attenuate. Wait staff were in a meeting when we got there so a delay in our order, but once the server came, things were okay.

    Service could have been better, my tap root beer had a weird taste of dirty dish water, my soup came out cold. Good place to go drinking, but not necessarily a place I would recommend for a great meal.
