Awesome atmosphere; lovely outdoor space w/ large wooden tables. Friendly service. Food was unfortunately mediocre, especially for the price. The mussels were mushy & the fried chicken was a tad dry. I’d consider coming again for perhaps a drink & maybe their burger.
We had the best dining experience at St. Auggies by far during my vacation. Katia, our amazing server, went out of her way when taking our order. Even though they were packed, she took the time to greet us, answered all our questions about the food and made amazing recommendations. Everything came in a timely fashion and she checked-in on us often. The food was perfect- no one had anything bad to say about it. I highly recommend the signature mussels and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The atmosphere is amazing and the terrace is lovely. This place is legitimately the jewel of Alexandria. If you’re looking for a relaxed atmosphere, great food and excellent service, give this place a go.
So this place could have got a 5 if the food and service was a tad bit better. Our server was pleasant, but not attentive making it barely average. I had the old bay wings which were too salty and my fries weren’t fresh. The best part was the sangria which was weak and the ambiance. I give the happy hour menu 2 thumbs down, there were barely any selections unless you’re a beer person. The Sangria was the only “cocktail” that was reduced price ($2 off, making it $10). They’re known for their fries so maybe request that they be fresh if/when you order them since it’s not cheap.
I'll start with the positives! The food here was pretty good! I had the burger, we also ordered some mussels and the cheese steak rolls. We had a larger group of 6, so we reserved online without issue. The downside to this restaurant was the lack of AC on a 90+ degree evening. They also had all of the windows shut up so there was no air. I was so hot that I only ate two bites of my burger.i felt almost sick it was so hot. My friends were using menus to fan themselves. The wait staff was not attentive so we kept trying to get refills for drinks or water without service. We did ask to wait initially for the last member of our party to arrive before ordering. But it took almost 3 hours to receive our food, eat and pay. I had to flag down the waitress just to get a bill. I would love to try this place again, but something has to be done about the lack of AC or maybe open the windows to let ventilation in. Otherwise I would wait until fall when it's cooler.
The mussels are amazing. They actually have a mussel menu. Different flavors and combinations. Yum. If you're in Alexandria, you must try this. Great patio. Live music. Great vibe.
