Reviews for Cock & Bowl Belgian Bistro in Occoquan Historic District, VA

Visited around 5:30pm with a party of 3 for dinner. We were quickly seated outside on the patio area - I should note that if... you're easily bothered by bugs and the like be aware they are a presence when the weather is nicer. **(EDIT SINCE OWNERRESPONDED: The bugs didn't bother me at all as it comes with the territory of having outdoor seating, but for those who are moresqueamish it can be an nuisance. IMO spraying is not necessary :] ) We ordered the Brie and Prosciutto toast as an appetizer:good choice! As an entree I ordered the steak frites (medium rare - sorry no cross section), from the picture you can see thesteak came out on a large bed of fries so come hungry! The garlic butter was delightful, but unfortunately my steak came with ahefty amount of fat that I didn't want to deal with so I cut it off, otherwise I think I would've pushed for that laststar. Definitely want to come back and try their waffles, though... Read more

Mussels are amazing, pretzels are fresh and great. Service is outstanding. The decor is great and very European. In general... this is an excellent spot. Read more

This is a true gem in the heart of historic Occoquan!! The food was delicious and the service was spectacular. Walking toward... the entrance you feel like you have just been transported to a small European square. Chef George is a master and an artist! Iam looking forward to eating here again very soon.

Excellent late lunch here after a couple hours exploring the town. We had mussels with fries. Our mussels were in a garlic cream... sauce with brandy and mushrooms. Perfectly cooked and delicious. The fries were also excellent. So good we got a second order!And the mayo with the fries was phenomenal. Read more

A nice escape. Quaint dining al fresco. Umbrella tables lend to the feeling of being in Paris. Attentive wait-staff. The finest... food fare says it all. The most luscious Belgian Waffles which I highly recommend. Sandwich and salad platters are alsodelectable with generous portions. Fine beer and wine in a quiet stone garden setting--what could be better! Read more

Food was delicious and the service was exceptional! Lovely staff despite being short-staffed tonight, they still made sure my... husband and I had a lovely experience. I highly recommend the fig & brie starter and the mussels. We had the creme brûlée andchocolate mousse for dessert and both were delicious. Their house sangria is great too! Overall great for a date night anddefinitely worth the wait for a patio table :) Read more

Dine at the outdoor seating, dog friendly and wonderful staff. Must try the croque madam, a hot gruyere and prosciutto sandwich... topped with a sunny side up. For the mussels we had the brew ha ha which is cooked with beer, sausage and potatoes, fresh anddelicious. Be sure to add the fries my favorite to go with mussels. French Onion soup is on the thicker side than what you wouldnormally get from restaurant, good flavor. And of course to end the meal with light fluffy Belgium waffles. I picked thestrawberry and added the Belgium chocolate perfect match and a perfect way to finish up our late lunch. Read more
