Alex Annoyed

Was here twice last month. Kind of miss Monroe's for certain things, this is certainty different, which is good. Once for Brunch on a Saturday. It was not busy until the tail end, and service was kind of slow. I was in no rush, but it was noticed. One watron doing too much. Sat in one of the old booth areas. The reno is nice, it's the same but also different. Well done. I had this thing, it was quite tasty. Pork Roll, Egg, Cheese Pumpernickel, Taylor’s Pork Roll, Cheddar Cheese, Arugula Salad $8. Friend had this, also tasty. Corned Beef Reuben Rye, Gruyere, Fried Farm Egg, Celery Root Slaw, Cucumber Salad $13. Second time was with a group of 5-6 on the weekend as a late night thing since they stay open, which is nice. This time we were up front neat the bar. Fantastic service in all areas, it was late, but not crowded. Great cocktails. Mix of starters and entrees. A good time was had by all. An excellent watron. Will definitely be returning and I wish them success. Even though I don't understand the latest trend in this area for everything to turn "Southern". Only so much of that to go around one would think. What is next, more gourmet burgers? Maybe BBQ!!!

New member, figured it makes sense to not talk about food as a first post For what it's worth to anyone still reading, if you don't want GE and just want Pre and happen to be near the "Alexandria strip mall" ignore the online app, appointments, etc. Just go there with some free time as a walk-in. That is what I did a few months ago as the TSA line hysteria was in full frenzy in the media. Applying online gets you nothing, you still have to do a site visit anyway. I had to wait about 15 minutes and then was helped. I asked upon leaving what the time would be if I wanted to schedule online now and was told 3 weeks. It was a pleasant process and I got an email notification 5-10 days later. Just be sure when checking in that you have the number in your profile and for each ticket, different airline systems interact differently and you don't want to have Pre but end up printing a boarding pass without the number on it. Even if it gets to a point where there are lines like normal TSA, the keep shoes, keep laptop, keep belt, and keep liquids in are like a time warp to the 1990s without all the fuss, and worth a few bucks.
