About the Business
Mussel Bar & Grille, located at 800 North Glebe Road in Arlington, Virginia, is a unique establishment that brings the flavors of old-world Belgian cuisine to the DC area. Chef Robert Wiedmaier's inspiration for the restaurant comes from his youthful experiences at Belgian roadhouses, where he would unwind with colleagues over simple food and good music.
While mussels are a highlight of the menu, Mussel Bar & Grille offers a wide range of casual dining options, including grilled and brick oven fired dishes, seasonal salads, soups, and handcrafted desserts. Classic Belgian favorites such as frites, oysters, cheese, and chocolate can also be found on the menu, along with an extensive selection of Belgian beers, wines, and seasonal cocktails.
The restaurant's commitment to using the freshest and most seasonal ingredients is evident in their menu offerings, which include Penn Cove mussels from Washington state. These mussels are harvested to order from the pristine waters of Quilcene Bay and are delivered fresh to the restaurant three times per week.
In addition to mussels, Mussel Bar & Grille serves up a variety of meats, poultry, and fish cooked on the grille or in the wood-fired brick oven. The menu also features tarte flambée, a thin, house-made dough topped with a variety of savory ingredients.
Belgian beer is a focal point at Mussel Bar & Grille, with a selection that includes both traditional Belgian brews and innovative American craft beers inspired by Belgian styles. The restaurant aims to create a memorable dining experience by pairing these beers with their expertly prepared cuisine.
Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, Mussel Bar & Grille offers a stylish and welcoming setting for all. With live music events and a range of gift card options available, it's the perfect place to enjoy a taste of Belgium in the heart of Arlington.

Reviews
"I had an absolutely amazing experience with my wonderful server Evan! He made my birthday dinner one to remember! Not only was he super attentive, he even had great conversation that truly made me feel special for my big day. He is a gem! The steak frites were cooked to perfection and the side salad was great although I thought I wasn’t a big salad person before. Overall 10/10 would recommend!"
"This place is a gem. Not super expensive, the mussels and oysters were fire. Nice to sit down have a drink and enjoy the meal. Definitely recommend."
"I ordered take out so I can’t really speak to the service etc but I am beyond disappointed with what we got and ironically the name of the restaurant is what we ordered .. the bacon mussels and the white wine mussels. They are shriveled with no taste. Worst mussels I have ever had. Ever. The broth is terrible as well. Watery no seasoning no white wine cream taste in that one. The other one tastes like a bouillon cube. I usually never review negatively but I’m starving and annoyed and they’re more expensive than where I usually get mussels in Clarendon. We got two orders of mussels and it was $60."
"Loved this place. Big but cozy restaurant for delicious clams (we had the thai curry and it was a fantastic surprise), beef was perfectly cooked and nice presentation and the berry pavlova (which we share between 3) was delicious! I really recomend this place for happy hour or any time."
"We went here on a holiday weekend and it was fantastic! We had the curry mussels which I think I devoured the broth it was so good!! Pizza was good and I had a delicious Paloma. Was a great spot for a quick bite and and drink. We liked it because it felt like a quality restaurant, not some chain restaurant. Great view of Glebe Road and great service we will definitely come back for dinner!"
