Fun spot. Good staff . Enjoyed the food. Best ever? No. But great bar food - nice corner bar vibe. I recommend if in the area.

Andrew Wiseman

Famous for tots , they also have tasty burgers and sandwiches . Nice outdoor spaces and a cool little loungey spot on the third floor, good if it's crowded . Used to be GW's geography department office .

Ryan Olivett

The tachos are awesome and they have a great beer list . Don't get the wings unless you like them drenched in ketchup (or wing sauce that looks and tastes just like ketchup )

Sophia H

Awesome tonic burger (with turkey ). Tater tots are good but I don't see how they're the "best" compared to any other tots I've had

Carly Lipkin

Some of the best mac and cheese i've ever had! The cheeseburgers are also good. Kind of expensive but conveniently located on GWUs campus.The Sunday morning unlimited mimosa deal is also really great.

Andrew Hogue

On weekends, brunch is served instead of lunch . Go for the Benedict Burger if you're looking for something that reminds you of real lunch .

Brie Lewis

The lounge allows you to be in your own world ... Happy Hour is 4-7 Monday thru Friday and the spicy wings are amazing.

Rachel Ivy

Brunch tots were great, order some bourbon syrup on the side to dip tots in <3

Danny Rivera

The food was delicious and the staff was awesome, very welcoming.

Now Owl

They have leffe blonde and brune on tap . Nuff said. Also second any recommendations on the nachos . No refried beans but liberal w the guac

The Brie Burger is AMAZING!!

Mandy Schill

Tots were good, loved dipping sauces . The bun on my sandwich tasted like it had been frozen too long.

Greg Tune

Totchos & Wings are a great happy hour appetizer selection.

Shel West

The real nachos suck. They might be better with tots . Overall, more about the ambiance than the food. Unless you LOVE tater tots .

Brittany W.

The mac and cheese with peas is delicious and homey .

Tonic at Quigley's Restaurant has partnered with Womply to offer $20 cash back after 3 visits!
