    Beware that they will try to impose a 3.5 credit card surcharge on your bill automatically. They brought the bill with a QR code and there was no way to avoid it. I had to get the manager to take my debit card to the back and pay it. The charge itself is obnoxious but making it automatic is borderline fraud.

    I lobe the ambience of the restaurant. I've been here several times ans today was the first time the food did not meet my expectations. My husband and I introduced to our friends and it was not what the usual standard was. The breakfast potatoes were cold and the fried chicken warm. I asked for a waffle that clearly had been sitting and was lukewarm as well. Also these days more people frequent turkey bacon or chicken sausage which is not offered for those who don't eat pork. A little disappointed this visit.

    Andrea, thank you for your review-while we are happy to learn you enjoyed the ambiance, we are disappointed to hear that your meal on your most recent visit was not as excellent as it should have been. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback so we can work hard to improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you again soon to prove we can earn those 5 stars!

    Food was great as always, READ YOUR CHECKS! They are grifting an extra 3% they do not advertise if you do not pay in cash. Beware their billing.
    Blackwall Hitch - AlexandriaResponded on 5 February 2025
    Spencer, thank you for your review-while we are happy to learn you enjoyed your meal, we are sorry to hear that our inevitable cc surcharge has discouraged you from offering a positive review of the restaurant. Titan Hospitality has made a conscious decision to be as transparent and honest with our consumers as possible-while all restaurants have adjusted pricing to off-set this cost, most decided to increase their menu prices across the board by at least 5%. We felt that this was unethical to those patrons that chose to pay in cash; we appreciate your business, and we hope you will understand our need for implementing this policy; we hope you will consider visiting us again soon. With Gratitude, The Team at The Blackwall Hitch Alexandria
