Are you a serious Black Friday shopper?
Take a break from the crowds (or just from Thanksgiving leftovers) with some incredible fried chicken and barbecue at Harry's Smokehouse Burgers & BBQ Pentagon City Mall, Arlington, VA in the The Fashion Centre at Pentagon City Mall this weekend.

Deep inside the Pentagon City Mall (actually it's right next to the Metro entrance)is an oasis of great burgers and bbq (and salads too)and possibly the best buttermilk fried chicken you have ever tasted ("possibly?" – try "easily")served not in a food court or fast-food factory (who can relax there...

Dear Friends,

Our restaurant will be closed for renovation beginning October 31, 2011. We will re-open as Market Tavern on November 21. We apologize for the inconvenience but promise you a new, fresher version of what you have come to expect and enjoy from Harry’s. Market Tavern will offer two distinct areas for your enjoyment.

The Tavern on the first level will offer 26 artisan beers on tap, more than 50 wines by the glass, handmade cocktails, a cozy lounge and a lively bar with 5 high definition TV screens for all your favorite sporting events. Our menu in The Tavern will offer small plates, soups, salads, great burgers and sandwiches.

The Chophouse at Market Tavern upstairs will offer a contemporary take on the classic Chophouse. We’ll feature traditional steak and chop preparations like peppercorn brandy and béarnaise and some updated versions (Adobo rubbed with Salsa Creolio.) We will feature delicious, braised preparations served in casserole such as Daube of Lamb and Short Ribs of Beef. Of course, we’ll offer great seafood including a revisit of our very popular paella. And we will introduce the Gold Standard Burger, which we promise to be the very best, richest flavored burger in town!

We are proud of our run as Harry’s Tap Room and look forward to our new beginning as Market Tavern. Please check our website at either Harrystaproom.com or MTavern.com for updates and information. We look forward to serving you soon.

Warmly,

The Crew at Market Tavern

"The food movement is where the environmental movement was 40 years ago. We need to be challenged." Article by Jane Black. Tell us what you think about the food movement...

Being right all the time feels good. But by itself, it isn't an effective way to fix our broken food system, which is in need of immediate reform.
