I like this place. I mean, it is what it is, the food actually is pretty good try the steak bites or get a burger, they have specials during the day. Steaks are good too. The staff is friendly, including the owner, Billy. This place is actually a little more upscale than most of the places in DC. Bottom line is if you are looking for fine dining or are only interested in total nudity, then this isn’t the place for you. If you are looking to chill out, play some pool, eat lunch, it’s pretty good.

There have been several times we’ve been out in Crystal City somewhere and decided we needed a little more entertainment than watching depressed U of Georgia fans at the Sports Pub want to hang themselves after realizing their team is overrated yet again by the national media. That’s when we head over to Crystal City Restaurant. I’ve always liked these places that name themselves something mundane. Like when a bar name’s themselves The Office or The Boardroom. Or Crystal City Restaurant. I’ve always thought it’s so some husband can truthfully tell his wife “Hi honey, I’ll be home late tonight as I’m still at The Office.” Crystal City Restaurant sounds like a regular place to eat, and I’m sure many people have been fooled by the name and walked in expecting steak. It’s safe to say that they were instead met by a pretty large helping of roast beef.

CCR doesn’t get the prettiest girls, they have to wear pasties, and the beers are $7. But the strippers really try to make up for this with gusto on the stripper pole. CCR is owned by the same owner as the Sports Pub, so the food is nearly identical. Meaning slightly above average for bar food.

One plus about CCR is that you won’t pay an arm and a leg to go there. Maybe we’re cheap, but a roll of 1’s can go a long way here.

How can I write this review with out sounding like a pervert. The answer is I can’t. So for this review just think of me as a dirty, dirty, old man. And as a dirty old man there are two things I love. Seeing pretty young things in next to nothing doing things that could earn them Gold medals in a different situation, and getting the best value for my greenbacks.

With no cover, super cheap food specials, and $6 dark beers CCR is like a prototype for my fantasy island, and if it had a goddamned Nintendo I would probably never leave. Because they can’t just cop out and just show you “the goods” the ladies here have actually developed talents and stage presence making them enjoyable to watch for more than obvious reasons. I was quite frankly impressed and for the first time didn’t feel like I was getting bilked at one of these places. So for any of you whippersnappers thinking you might enjoy a show, come on in grab a drink, maybe a meal, and a seat up front with ole grandpa (on account of my glaucoma). I guarantee you will enjoy it.

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! We came back on Monday. I know, I know. How terrible can we really be? Fact is I was craving a gyro, and so was my boyfriend so we made our way here to get some grub.

This particular night was actually better than Saturday night. Would you believe that? Big booty broads were rocking out this night, and had my boyfriend reeling. I plopped us both in front of the stage to eat and enjoy the entertainment. Our server was a bit spotty, but I think that is probably because she was expecting to serve of drinks only and not get food.

About 20 minutes in is when we got our food orders. I got a gyro with a baked potato, and J got a gyro with fries. I didn’t particularly find the fries that appetizing, and a baked potato on all levels was a bad idea to put with that meal. What was I thinking? Even though the baked potato was good, I shouldn’t have done that. Oh well. As far as the gyro goes — it was extremely tasty. I really liked the meat that was on it.

Do I need to elaborate on the entertainment again? I stated what I thought earlier. You get the point…. We will probably return next week just by our luck when his parents are in town for the holidays.

If you’re looking for a laid back kind of guys night out, a place to start of or end a night, this is the place. I don’t think it has enough vibe to serve as the primary hangout/party night spot but as a supplement it’s great. The dancers are about a B average in looks, not pushy and do decent routines. On Saturday night about 12 girls rotated time on the two stages for one song stints. Food was good and very inexpensive and the beers were cold. They have several flatscreens with various sporting events playing..The girls were mostly white, a few latinas and one black and to my disappointment, no Asians. I mean, no Asians in Arlington, sucks as I have the fetish. Anyway, they also have a sectioned off smoking section partitioned with glass so non-smokers like myself don’t have to leave smelling like a pack newports. Patrons went from old business type white dudes, grungy biker looking white dudes, scary serial killer white dudes, preppy black dudes and average young folks out on dates. It’s an interesting little place situated between a 7-11 and a Chinese carryout right off Route 1. There’s no cover so you lose nothing going to check it out. I highly recommend giving it a look.

So, who knew that I would like this place? I have been a few times and the service is always great. We went with a group tonight and were not disappointed. The manager did his best to make sure we were satisfied with our seating. Our waitress made it a point to learn all of our names.

The food came out pretty fast. Each time we go the food is great, especially for a strip club. And the prices!!! So cheap! Only set back is that there is no hard liquor. They have liquor flavored wine, but its not the same. I also didn’t like that there were no refills on sodas.

The entertainment is cool. If I was going strictly for the dancers, I would probably go somewhere else. However, that is just personal preference. Many of the strippers were very talented.

I would definitely return.

The food was very good. I had the drunken rib eye. It was delicious. The atmosphere is first class. The service is wonderful. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the half naked woman running around.

My husband and I love coming here when are looking for a place that is not children-friendly.

The food is good and cheap as well as the drinks. They don’t charge exuberant amount and the portion is huge. We never had a bad meal or receive bad service here. The servers are friendly and the dancers are good. Some days the performance are better than others, but I think that holds true for many places.

IMHO, this is the strip club that I had ever been to that I don’t feel awkward in going. I saw that there were a few couples in the audience as well. I also like the fact that they separated out smoking and non-smoking section, but if you sit close to the door of the smoking section, you can smell the smoke.

If you are offended by these kind of businesses, please do not come here. My advice is to turn around and leave. No one forced me to stay. Normal offended people turnaround and leave.

We go to the CCR once every 2-3months usually on Sundays.

Food is good. The filet mignon is quite a surprise. It is always cooked just the way you requested it. Prices are low to keep the food sales high enough for the VA liquor license if I’m not mistaken.

The dancers on Sunday sometimes include rookies. They are hilarious on stage.

Yup, right now the beers are 7 bucks. We really only have one complaint. We will only drink 3 beers. That is our limit with food and dancer tips. On at least 3 occasions they charged us for 4 beers. We’ve caught it 2 out of 3 times.

I love the adult entertainment and the fact that they serve a decent steak. Both the dancers and the wait staff are attractive.
