Welcome to Kilroy's

Restaurant and Sport Bar!

In 1981 Philip Thomas, Stephen Thomas and Waren Barry opened a 20 table bar/restaurant named “Uncle Sam’s” in Springfield, VA. It was one of the first restaurant/bars in Northern Virginia and quickly became the most popular. Three years later the name changed from “Uncle Sam’s” to “Kilroy’s.” As the drinking age changed from 18 to 21, the owners wanted to change the bar image to a more family orientated restaurant/bar atmosphere.

Kilroy’s does not operate as a franchise and remains to be privately owned. Our ability to keep a great and close relationship with our customers has our customers coming back. We cater to a diverse crowd and many of our original customers continue to bring their children and family members to our welcoming establishment. Hosting weekly and monthly events in our restaurant allows our customers to get together and enjoy their private functions ranging from business events, team lunches, birthdays, holiday celebrations, reunions, college parties and much more.

Customer satisfaction and high-quality food are our two main priorities. Our ability to differentiate our restaurants by emphasizing consistently high-quality food and service at a reasonable price has allowed Kilroy’s to gain its outstanding reputation and brand name. Kilroy’s is known for its excellent prime rib and its diverse entree and dessert menu. Kilroy’s also has a beautiful and entertaining patio which is open all year long. We have hungry hour specials every day and our famous Wednesday Night College Karaoke specials. We also provide gift certificates for that special gift.
