   Food and service was great. Loved the atmosphere. Only negative thing was I ordered glass of Sauvignon blanc and they had just run out.

   If I had known that every frat boy in town would be running around drunk, I would have never step foot in here. We were waiting for our reserved table to be ready and were continuously accosted by dozens of kids who were too drunk to climb the stairs. After finally being sat, we were rushed to order our food. The food was really good, so we stuck around for dessert, which was a huge mistake. We placed our dessert order right when our dinner plates were cleared and waited 25 minutes before being told they'll check on it. After another 20 minutes, they say they'll comp it because it's taking so long. So we pay and wait some more. 20 more minutes later, still nothing or no one, so we leave. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're a drunk college kid, or an alum wanting to pretend to be young again.

   Best chili in town! It’s a great, laidback place to get good food with friends and watch a game.

   We were very disappointed in our meal at this restaurant. The food was over spiced, service was slow and the value just wasn’t there.

   We love coming here every time we are in Georgetown. The ambiance is great, the servers are super nice and responsive and the food is so, so good.

   The Tombs has been round for decades and I think this was how long it's been since I have been here! Primarily a student hangout for Georgetown, it is still great pub food. had the crab dip with toasted garlic bread and salmon nicoise salad, both great. would highly recommend for casual dining in Georgetown

    Quality service and food every time. I come once a week and it never disappoints. Best turkey sandwich of all time.
