Reviews for Mattie and Eddie’s Irish Bar and Restaurant in Arlington, VA

The service here is awful.\n\nI was served a tasteless soup that was spilled all over my plate. The waitress did not care.... Another server came over immediately with a new plate. They knew they were serving me a mess but did it anyways. I had to gofind my own spoon as a server never gave me one and they never came back to the table.\n\nThe waitstaff was more concerned aboutbeing on their phones than they were taking care of customers. I had to go find our server huddled in a corner with 10 otherservers on their phones to pay our check. Read more

No doubt, Rachel does a great pour of Guinness and, considering she was obviously the ONLY person interested in taking care of... customers, was the bartender, manager, hostess, and dealt with kitchen, server and drinks....while everyone else checked theirphone or flirted with customers.....\nThis pub COULD get a 5 Star rating, but make Rachel the manager, publicize the fact thatone of the best Traditional Irish Bands in the Mid-Atlantic area was playing there! Please don\'t put the band in a randomcorner and act like they don\'t exist.\nThe food service was half hearted, asking for crumbly soda bread or runny Shepherds Pieis just awful....why bother?\nDrop in for a great Pint of Guinness, and hopefully some fantastic music....otherwise, pass.....

A very comfortable, authentic Irish pub with tasty food. The breakfast items are great, and the stew has a lot of flavor.... Service is very kind too. Read more

Irish is as Irish does and this place does Irish. Great selection of Irish beers as well as cool craft beers on draft. Probably... won\'t get the Cheese Fondue & Chips again, but the corned beef sandwich was great. The beef stew was decent. Great ambiance,live music on occasion, and friendly service. Read more

Had the fantastic Leek and Potato soup, which we\'d been missing since Restaurant Eve closed. It was better than we remembered.... Followed up with the excellent Fish and Chips. Sat here in the afterglow congratulating ourselves on our good taste. Wedefinitely will be back here! Read more

Food was decent but overpriced. Service was lacking. We tried 4 different appetizers and all were small portions. Chicken pate,... mussels, deviled eggs (you get 3), sardines (like a small ramekin of sardine dip with toast). Tried the potatoe and leek soup(nothing in it, more like a broth). Entrees included the burger, lobster pot pie, shepherds pie, vegetarian stew, and crispypork belly with mashed potatoes. Honestly, the burger was probably the best of the entrees.. Irish coffee was good. Familydinner, Bill was around $250. Read more

Went in for happy hour menu. Food and service were good. Tried the wings and fish and chips. Standard bar food but still... prepared to order and came out good. Plenty of room inside for gatherings and even some outdoor dining options. Parking is abreeze too. Recommend if in the area. Read more

I had the burger and it was fantastic. Cooked exactly how I ordered and the seasonings with the eggs blended perfectly. No... complaints at all. The Magners cider was nice and cold, too, which went well with the food. Really nice place and greatatmosphere. There are a couple of sections, too, so you can get away from some of the noisier folks.\nOnly small downside is thebar was slammed around dinner and getting a drink at the bar took longer than expected. But table service was extremely quickand the servers were very friendly, too. No complaints at all and will definitely go back. Read more
