    Great music venue with better than average bar food. The band (Groovalicious) was a blast -- brought us right back to our 20's. Recommend reserving a table -- worked like a charm and got us a table near the dance floor. The waiters were very friendly, but stretched thin. The kitchen seemed slammed -- order food sooner rather than later.

    Excellent find. Wait staff was attentive and helpful. Check in staff knowledgeable and ready to share details of upcoming performances. Food was very good, and selection is wide. Only could stay for opening act but the enthusiasm and audience support, plus the singer's talent, combined for a great evening. We'll be back when we can stay longer. Terrific find in the heart of Fairfax City.

    I thought the experience was pretty good. Fun night out given it was a Friday and there was a bluegrass event on stage. Lots of people were into the experience. Partner had wings, smash burger and fries, I had hot chicken sandwich and fries. Order was a bit slow but they were quite busy just before showtime. Drinks came out fast, though. Chicken sandwich was very good, fries skinny and hot. He thought burger was just OK. Wings were run of the mill but hot and good size. Fun night out for mucic and bar food.

    Jazz brunch was a nice way to start a Sunday. Music, food and service were all great. I look forward to future events at Earp’s. Definitely a wonderful addition to Old Town Fairfax.

    As new Fairfax residents, we have been on the lookout for food and entertainment that's walking distance from our new home. We feel lucky to have discovered Earp's, which really delivered everything we were looking for. All the staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. We loved the live music, relaxed and friendly vibe and music-themed decor, and the food was delicious. The brussels sprouts were so good that I know the first thing I do when I sit down next time will be to place an order for them. Actually, that will be the second thing because Earp's has a great cocktail list and the list of beer, cider, and wine will be worth trying as well. I'm looking forward to a return visit already!
