Arlington Restaurant Named a Top OpenTable Brunch Spot

ARLINGTON, VA -- An Arlington restaurant is among the top 100 brunch spots in the U.S., according to OpenTable. Freddie's Beach Bar & Restaurant made the cut for the 2017 list, released this week before Mother's Day.

More than 24,000 restaurants in the U.S. were considered for the list. The online reservation hub sifted through more than 10 million reviews from its users to determine the best restaurants for a midday/mid-morning meal. OpenTable then ranked the restaurants by overall score and those with "great for brunch" checked off as a descriptor.

"Brunch has become as synonymous with Mother's Day celebrations as it has the weekend, and the repertoire of dishes associated with the midday meal has expanded exponentially," OpenTable Chief Dining Officer Caroline Potter said in a statement with the list's release. "No longer an after-thought, this meal at these winning restaurants has become a showcase for culinary diversity..."

Freddie's Beach Bar & Restaurant is an LGBT-friendly restaurant located at 555 23rd St S. in the Crystal City neighborhood of Arlington. The restaurant is well-known for its weekend brunch, as well as happy hour specials, drag shows, karaoke and more.

Freddie's hosts weekend buffets with themes: Broadway Brunch on Saturdays and Champagne Brunch Sundays.

One OpenTable user recently wrote: "Great weekend brunch with a fun and festive ambiance; inclusive & welcoming to all; Saturday morning brunch would be suitable to bring the kids; epic display of vintage barbies!"
