I've been hearing rumors that Oh George! Tables and Taphouse in Fairfax might be looking for a new owner. Has anything heard about that?

They are busy all the time and had a 45 minute wait last weekend at dinner. Of course that doesn't mean the business isn't in trouble. I would just be surprised to hear it.

The food and service at Brion's Grille sucks so bad that Oh George! is being overwhelmed by people who want something they can actually eat served by someone with a brain.

I stopped eating the shit at Brion's Grille 9 years ago.

Still love going over to Fat Tuesdays for my Cajun Popcorn, some affordable drinks, and live music though.

Too bad Fat Tuesday's is terrible about advertising what bands they have scheduled.

Yes, I was told by a guy that hangs at their bar alot that they're having a lot of service/personnel problems. One of their employees apparently got caught "pubing" (eww!) somebodys food and now supposedly there may be health code, lawsuit issues, etc.
Wouldn't recommend buying into that place, they'll be gone 2 years tops anyway.

That's an intelligent comment KimM. Really ads to the forum.

This is, almost certainly, a thread started by someone affiliated with Brion's. Oh George is slammed almost constantly and they offer a wide range of excellent food and drinks. They aren't in trouble: Brion's has only lasted this long because it essentially had no competition. Now, they will pay the piper for offering nasty food at insane prices for years.

Agreed that Brion's competition was long overdue, but objectively can tell you Oh George has really had some probelms.

Never heard the pube story but a lot of the people they hired are complete dicks, verified by many, many friends of mine. Cut you off after a couple of beers no matter what you're doing. Plus the place is also overpriced and the food is trendy-good, but not that substantial.

One of those places you visit once or twice, and then are over it. Hope they make it, though, University Mall can use it.

The pubing comment is an intelligent one if true.

If I go pubbing, I would like to know if somebody is pubing.

BULLSHIT. They have NO violations.

Just one notice at the opening in December to label the menu with 'raw eggs used in the lemon aioli'.

Restaurant owners have many reasons for wanting to sell other than just poor business. Need to get some facts first.

So tired of the pube rumor. That was like four months ago and the person who did it STILL works there, so obviously they weren't able to link him to the hair in question. Plus obviously it would be on the health code site like dude says if the hair in question was indeed verified to be pubic in nature.

Sometimes hair gets in food. Boo hoo.

That place is a ripoff. And it isn't kid friendly. Hopefully it's gone soon and a more appropriate place takes its spot.

That place pisses me off. Came back for Mason homecoming, ejected for standing in front of the area where servers come to the bar. Oh no. What a horrible person I am, to act that way in a crowded bar.

Some nice beers/food, but anyone that thinks that place will be around for the long haul is high. Right move for the owner to sell now and get while the iron is somewhat hot and people are showing up.

Brion's was lazy and lucky for years.

Oh George is PACKED all the time. Cause it sucks???

If the owner sells now, he is smart. Every business plan ends with an "out".

Good rest owners flip them and move on.

Hey, if you're into hanging out with hipster trash and looking at a few cougars out for a drink, head to Oh George! Fucking doooooooscccccchbag central.

Place will be done in a year. Should just turn itself into a Chic-Fil-A so all of us can consume more delicious nuggets instead of overpriced flatbread pizza.

Won't go to Brion's though, either. My daughter is too ridiculously hot to bring into that dimly-lit place with Brion running around.

FFXU should make it a requirement that every post is in a video format. I would love to say people are just trolling, but from my experience they are just that dumb. I can't read any of these posts with a straight face and wonder how you function.

It's not kid friendly - Nobody likes it when you take your kid to restaurants, ever heard of take out?! You shouldn't be bringing your child to a high alcohol environment anyways. If you still want to be that person, you should bring them during daylight hours.

Blocking the bar - You're not a horrible person, but just a massive idiot. Do you also block intersections when there is no room to go across? I guess you think common sense rules shouldn't apply to you.

Chic-Fil-A - You rather eat fast food than have great drinks and food, that's a pretty sweet teenage palate you got there bro.

I'm guessing from your use of the word "bro," you're one of the douchebags that hang out there. Yes, a crowded bar with no where to stand is like blocking a traffic intersection. Because derp.

Good analogy, you fucking idiot.

You mad? I wasn't making an analogy, I was asking you a question to explore the depths of your stupidity. You think blocking the area the staff needs to be isn't a problem? I'm not your mom, go take your overdue teenage angst somewhere else.

Well at least you left bro out of "you mad." So you have at least some semblance of a chance of evolving past douchebag status someday.

Maybe. The bar. Was so crowded. It forced. The person. To stand. There. For a while.

Derp.

To the Mason Alum fellow who was ejected, as I was also there that night, were you by chance the genius who got way too drunk and started yelling at various managers in the restaurant?

Because as someone who was there the entire time after homecoming to grab drinks with friends, there was only one person ejected from the bar that night. Not saying that it was you, but the person was ejected because he called the bartender who cut him off a bitch, was asked to leave numerous times, yelled at employees and managers alike, and then ran over to fat tuesdays before the cops came.

Anyway, as someone who works in the mall, and has friends who are employed there, "Pubing"? ha, where'd you pull that info from? Hair gets in food sometimes, go lookup the health code violations for Brion's - they had cooked rice in the fridge to serve for 8 days straight.

The restaurant itself though seems to be doing ok, however they've been through quite a few managers already, especially for such a new place - food is meh, nothing to write home about, but decent. I've had varying experiences with the staff, the college aged students are generally very friendly and open to conversation, some of the old career servers (not all) could use some help in that department.

Aw man, I hope they didn't call the pretty hot bartender a bitch. She seems pretty nice. The older, fat bitter at life one I can see, though. She comes across constantly as a bitch.

I stopped going there after the pubing rumor started. Not sure if true, but I can't take the chance. My teeth are deteriorating enough; dont need pubes sticking out of them when I greet a client or kiss my wife or something.

Oh George is another shitty restaurant chain that pretends it is something unique when its not. Oooh, pizza! Flat bread pizza! And burgers! And seven dollar small draft beers on tap? Sign me up!

But whatever. I just hope they catch and fire this mad puber in the act. Shit is not cool.

Oh George is great. Excellent beer list; very good food. The notion that it's in "trouble"is hilarious. What's this, a Yogi Berra thing -- "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded"? They are coining cash there.

I mean as a graduating student with 3 jobs, dunno if working in University mall for a part time job is really enough to discredit my opinion, then go on right ahead and dismiss what I said. If you would like to stop being so condescending that would be lovely too.

And no it wasn't any of the hot ones, it was the fatter woman, who was at the time the bar manager I believe. She no longer works there, as do none of the other management staff they opened the restaurant with. All have been fired or have quit the job.

Shame on us young people for taking jobs where we can in Fairfax, complete shame on us.
