The Orange Rind — Restaurant in Burke

I go to Orange Rind a couple nights a week because the atmosphere is great. Usually my drinks are made very well and if they aren’t then I’m usually paying the worth of the drink or it comes no charge. I was very disappointed tonight. I ordered 2 margaritas like I usually would. It’s usually $20 MAX for a couple of house margaritas.Normally I get asked which shelf or which margarita I want, not tonight. I was surprised when my tab came back to $33 dollars for only 2 drinks. I always want to tip at least 20%, no matter what kind of day my server is having. With tip I paid $39. These margaritas tasted like straight sour mix. Usually 2 or 3 margaritas has me set for the evening, I felt NOTHING from these. When my friend and I (she also ordered the same as me) asked about the average margarita price, we were told it’s about $8.50 for a house and goes up. No one asked what kind of tequila we wanted and just assumed. After we tried our first one, we asked another bar tender about our drink. When he asked if they were good we both said no.

If we were offered another beverage or a partial refund for the margarita we hadn’t yet drank, that’d be one thing, but that wasn’t offered. I’ve had better service here many times before, I’m extremely disappointed with our...

The best thing about this place is the atmosphere. It is a totally chill, river vibe. Everyone is laid back, friendly outdoorsy folk. Further the smoothies are delicious and the the servers friendly. A full bar with this restaurant, and street tacos to boot. It's family friendly chill, with kids and dogs hanging with you as well. I came single and had a blast, as much as those with big groups and small families.

For trail riders, you can even park your bike at the bike rack in back near the seating and everyone respects personal property, so no worries.

I think I found my new hangout.

Update: 9/19/2023. I have now been there 3 times. What shocks me the most is that with all the people going through this place, I was remembered. The second thing I loved is the consistency in food. My green goddess smoothie was just as good this time as it was the last. Oh and the grill cheese is PERFECTION!!!! For the hungry, but wants to feel like they are being "healthy", have the Greek bowl. It was perfect!

Sooo definitely my hangout spot now. The live music was...
