Whitlow's On Wilson

If there were a negative 1, I'd give it to them on the scale of lack of cleanliness - this place needs to shut down and clean up!  Even the manager is sloppy in his appearance.  Nice guy but looks unkept.

We came for Sunday brunch... and left sick.  The food is mediocre tasting, NOTHING stood out.  Thank goodness we didn't do the buffet.  I had the unpleasant experience of looking into the kitchen on my way to the bathroom... and then I realized I had eaten the food.  

Bathroom floor was sticky, the floors in general were sticky, my husband and son were grossed out.  And the service was so poor it was sad.  The young man tried to muster some friendliness that was fake, and left us abandoned on refills, service, etc.  Just in general its busy, tables wobble, and the food is not even "ok"... :-(  I wanted to like it.  And our order got messed up, but the GM brought us a cup of fruit... that was bland and inedible... :-(

Must go for brunch.  $14 pitchers, and [at least when I was there] there was way more champagne than orange juice...perfection.

I'm usually not a big buffet person but the $20 options with the crab legs, fried chicken, ribs, and all breakfast items was a steal...AND it was well worth it.

Service was very good, the atmosphere is chill and fun, it's a great neighborhood place for sure.

Great brunch, Love the outdoor patio. That said, I must caution anyone who wants to just chill at a local dive bar.  While Whitlows has been in Arlington since I was child, the crowd Thurs-Sat has not... There I was, playing pool with my friends on one of their three tables--when drama ensues with people harassing us to hurry up and finish our game.  I think Whitlow's could do a better job of coordinating their pool tables--and also--if you are looking to play pool, maybe head over to spider kellys which has at least triple the space dedicated to pool.  Too many people too little space, high drama.  Love the live music--overall great place on slow nights :)
