   Our server Tina was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Even some things we didn’t even see. The food was delicious, and it didn’t take long to receive our entrées either. I tried the strawberry mock tail, and that was really good too. I had no idea there was another Blackwall location. I’ve had great experiences at the other ones too, so I appreciate the consistency.

   The service was terribly slow. I ordered the Blackwall Steak salad which was ok the steak was cooked properly. The dressing however was tasteless. Thee noise level was super loud.

   JoAnn, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. While it's good to know the steak was cooked properly, we regret that the dressing lacked flavor and the noise level affected your visit. We also apologize for the slow service — that’s not the experience we aim to provide. Your comments are important and will be shared with our team so we can improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try. With Gratitude, The Team at The Blackwall Hitch Alexandria

   Excellent service from Kenneth. Appetizers were good including oysters and lobster bisque. The entrees were poor. Strip steak was incredibly tough and chewy and au gratin potatoes had a weird taste . Second entree was the halibut special and fish was overcooked and tough. Will not be back.

   Seated inside. Noisy! Music is too loud, unable to hold a conversation.Omelet was great, fried chicken was over cooked. A bit overpriced.

   We had reservations and were seated immediately. Celebrating my sons Godmothers retirement. As always the food was delicious, the musicians were great and our server was very attentive. They have parking right underneath but, I have a large truck so I had to go and park a few blocks away other than that we had a great experience at Black Wall Hitch Alexandria. One more thing if you pay with cash no problem but, non-cash payments it is an additional fee added.

   This is an excellent family oriented restaurant. Not a good choice for a date night or other special occasion. A bit pricey for what you get.

    Rainy day vibes, waterfront views, and an unexpected bathroom concert? Yes, please. I came to Blackwall Hitch to catch up with friends and escape the gloomy weather—and it did not disappoint. The vibe was exactly what I needed: cozy, chill, and moody in the best way, with views of the Potomac that just hit different when it’s raining. Shoutout to Brian, who made sure we were fully taken care of. He catered to our every need, filled my coffee mug without asking, and made the whole experience effortless. I ordered the Halibut special, and listen… I could’ve eaten two. It was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Highly recommend it if it’s still on the menu. Now, for the moment, I didn’t expect to write about the bathroom. While washing my hands, I started singing along to a song playing overhead. Didn’t realize someone else was in the second stall… until she came out singing the next line. We had a full duet right there. Harmonies, finish, the whole thing. Then we walked out like nothing had happened. Blackwall Hitch gets 5 stars for food, service, and surprise concerts. Would absolutely come back.
