Hawk & Griffin - Pub in Vienna - 435 Maple Ave W, USA

Let me start by saying that I'm not British but this place has an authentic British feel, and the food is fantastic. We have been here many times for Dinner and Sunday brunch (and English Premier League games!) and you can't go wrong with any if their dishes. I'll recommend the Scottish Eggs or Fish Bites as appetizers. They also have one of the best Chicken Masala (my favorite) and the cod in their Fish and Chips is always fresh and very tasty. For Breakfast I've tried the Full Monty and the British Bake and they are authentic for sure. Great selection of Gins with a variety of unique Tonics. Also, this is the only close place I can find an Old Speckled Hen ale, creamy and refreshing, one of my favorites too. Check it out and you won't be disappointed. Cheers!

Ladies meet up for lunch. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and a couple mains to share. Both mains - fish & chips and Steak Stout pie were excellent (the gravy served on the side of the steak pie made it!) We enjoyed the scotch eggs app, only skip for next time was the crispy potato. Service was excellent and we love the English pub vibe with all the soccer going on Al the TVs.

Love this place... good atmosphere, nice menu options and great selection of cocktails and beer. Our server was friendly and attentive. It's always a bonus with free parking too. Scotch egg-flavorful and loved the texture. Sausage pastry-was ok... I tasted more dough Meat pastry-flavorful and filling Beef and stout pie- it was good. I loved the pie crust. London mules- tasty... I would definitely get it again. I was never a gin fan till I had this cocktail.

Had a craving for British fare after a recent trip to UK and this place is perfect to satisfy those cravings. I need to come back for the Full Monty breakfast to complete my cravings for the time being.

First time there and GM Elizabeth was a fantastic host, her recommendations were the best. Love the atmosphere and decor. I've been to many British pubs, and this one is super authentic. Didn't take pictures (next time) but had a great lunch with my wife. Servers were very helpful and attentive. Wife had a Reuben that she loved and she's picky, of course I had to try the fish and chips on Elizabeth's recommendation, and it was perfect. Tasty batter and perfectly done fish, and the chips (french fries) were great, loved the texture. We'll be heading back for dinner and some pints within the week.

Trivia nights are fun. The staff is great and the service is good. The food is not so great, at least the burger and sides of fries. Maybe other dishes are a better option. The options of beer are good.

I visited on a Sunday morning for a pre-Premier League match viewing breakfast. I had also visited a few months before with family (one of whom is English), and we enjoyed the early dinner fare we ordered. So I thought getting an idea of an English breakfast sounded good before watching the big game. The atmosphere was reasonably quiet and subdued for the time and day, yet I liked hearing English accents from staff and customers and TVs fixed to Premier League football. Seating myself at the bar brought immediate attention and a quick follow-up to get my order of the full breakfast followed by pancakes with strawberry. Service overall proved straightforward and efficient. Both dishes rewarded me well. Eggs cooked over easy as one might expect, and I have not had breakfast potatoes as joyously crispy as most anywhere I have eaten morning fare. The taste of proper English sausages does not have comparison, so I was pleased with my two rashers along with bacon in its original unadulterated form. Vegetables were cooked well, although I would have liked a thicker cut tomato with a little more grilling time. One should note multigrain toast here means sourdough with grain specks as explained by the helpful bar staff when I asked. I also enjoyed my first taste of black and white pudding, so overall I felt more than good about this sampling of English favorites. The pancakes came in generous portion, and the strawberry sauce tasted fresh and light. The pancakes themselves are as advertised between American pancakes and French crepes. The raspberry garnish seemed a little out of place but did nothing to diminish my successful cleaning of this plate as the first one. I do wonder overall if both dishes (strawberry sauce excepted) could have come with slightly more thermal heat. Food seemed to be at room temperature which struck me okay if not slightly below ideal. Overall however I would be more than glad to have an occasion or excuse enjoy these dishes again. The total price including tax fell between $30 to $35, so I felt like I received a satisfying value for a Vienna eatery. My only other suggestion would be adding a bigger screen TV in the main dining area for an improved viewing experience. Otherwise I am pleased to have a place like this one within 10-15 minutes drive for me, and I anticipate returning in the future to enjoy more breakfast and dinner eating choices.

Glad they are now open for lunch. Went a couple of times last week and learned that, at a British Pub, you have to order your lunch at the bar talking to the bartender (pro-tip). Had the cottage pie and then steak and stout pie which was delicious. This is a “must visit” if you are looking for an original spot in Vienna with friends for food or drinks.
