The Club: Burgers & Sandwiches

On our hunt for the DMV’s best fried chicken sandwich we came across a hidden gem in Alexandria. If I’m not mistaken, the fried chicken sandwich is new to here menu. I was impressed to say the least. The flavor, texture, AND SIZE of this sandwich was/is definitely unmatched. This sandwich made a jump on our top 28 list to number 3. No regrets. If you are around the area, you should make an effort to go. The price was reasonable as well.

Needed a quick lunch and some friends said to check out The Club. I went with the Virginian Burger: ham, swiss, onions, and I added pickles (skipped the LTO+mayo) and an order of fries. I'm a fan of chicken cordon bleu and this was a nice variation on a burger. Roll is big and holds up really well, the patty was good, though they cook it to pretty well-done (I get the safety need for a fast-casual place.) Fries are good l, kind of lightly battered/seasoned, almost like curly fries. Order was ready quick and prices are fairly reasonable.

MENU HAS CHANGED!! Beware. It’s not an upgrade. Used to love this place. Now it’s only variation of spicy chicken, and crunchy fried things. No more specialty burgers that made this place stand out. Ordered what were promised by the cashier as made as burgers (as in beef) were discovered home as spicy chicken sandwiches, one of which, half of the breast was freezer burned once upon a time, too tough and inedible chew toy. Not coming back. If you like $10 spicy chicken sandwiches and or crunchy fried things, step right up-otherwise give the new menu a wide berth and get dinner somewhere else.

This was a 5 star restaurant for me until they kept the name and changed the entire menu. Everything I loved about this place is gone and now all they serve is fried chicken. My office of 10 would order from here every Friday because they had a great variety of fresh, well made sandwiches, wraps, salads and hamburgers. Sadly, we have to find another lunch spot. :( Please add the old menu back!

I had the waffles and tenders (medium) and I was so glad I chose that! Tenders were nice, juicy…and not to mention huge. Wifey got the veggie burger and fries and also thoroughly enjoyed that. My picky two year old enjoyed her tender and fries and put up no fight at all. I imagine this will be a spot for us to remember during future visits to Alexandria.
