“Oh wow such a hidden gem. The food was amazing ask for TJ. He was amazing. Great service and so attentive. We enjoy our food so much. The curry puffs were so good the apps was 10/10 that I tried. I didn’t try the crab Rangoons or dumplings since it had shrimp & crab in it. I wanted all chicken. Such a cute experience I will come back. The food was busin busin.”
“Amazing Steakhouse ?,,,,!!!!!! Incredibly delicious!!!! Quality in Every Way!!!!”
“Combination of great food, ambience and hospitality. This is the place if you are looking for authentic Nepali food and fine dining experience. They have always amaze us with their menu selection options and the way menus are platted and garnished. I will highly recommend this place for dining with your friends and family.”
“This was my first visit, a suggestion from my sister. I started with the crab hush puppies (delicious!). As an entree, I chose the creole shrimp fettuccini (very good). My server (Amy-excellent!) was attentive and engaging, which enhanced my overall experience. The whole atmosphere had a vibe that was very inclusive and fun. I will definitely return.”
“One of the newest cocktail bars on King street!This place is super cool and has a bit of a speakeasy vibe.We only got cocktails but they were all super good and unique. One of the bartenders, Andres, who was making our drinks used to work at a Michelin star bar and really showed it.He even made us custom cocktails when asked and was very nice to talk to.The atmosphere is very cute and very Instagrammable.The only thing is you have to use wifi because the bar is underground and there's no signal but other than that will definitely be going back.”

“Pastries are delicious, but would skip the lattes. Live in the neighborhood so have gone numerous times and am consistently disappointed with the drinks. For $5 a drink, it should be better. Grab your delicious pastries, but make your drink at home!”
“This place is amazing. I have not been to the other locations, but my local source said this one is the best. I have never had a bad meal here. They have expanded since I was last there (both interior and exterior) and have a very large outdoor section right in front that is great for eating outdoors.Parking: Parking is paid during certain times. Check the signage to make sure you are following the rules.”
“Wonderful homemade food! So delicious. Cozy atmosphere and amazing smells!”
“Really enjoyed the Indian style Chinese food after such a long time.”
“First time ever at a German restaurant and I wasn’t disappointed! As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a warm welcome. The ambiance is classic and cozy. We started off with the Cevapcici Appetizer and it was delicious! I had the seafood and rice special and the seafood was well seasoned with a good portion of perfectly cooked rice. Ended the meal with the Apfelkuechle with ice cream and it was phenomenal! Light but very tasty! Service was superb! Very friendly and attentive. Will definitely revisit this little Old Town gem! Can’t wait for the summer to enjoy their beautiful patio.”

“Everything about this place was great. The decor takes you to Greece, you feel like you're on a side street in Mykonos. I reserved this for Mother's Day Brunch. They accommodated my daughter's gluten allergy well and the food was delicious. I will definitely be back.”

“We went with our old neighbors, Kevin & Tracey Durkin, and loved everything! The dates and deviled eggs were delicious, and the bolonese was authentic, like we got in Bologna, IT. We'll be back!”

“Very rich and tasty food! Didn't have to wait long for food either. Got the chicken korma,mutton, and chicken biryani. Meat was well seasoned and biryani was tasty. It's a Pakistani/Indian restaurant so it has all the usual favorites and it also has Karahi. Definitely recommend trying this place out!”

“What a great pizza place. Went there for lunch with my girlfriend. We got double pepperoni and Italian sausage pizza. Great service and great food. Will be back.”
“This place shares a kitchen with Thai Signature Local downstairs, so the food is just as good, but the menu is a bit different. Lots of fun drinks, including a few non-alcoholic options. The cucumber lemonade (whose official name I can't recall) is wonderfully refreshing. Great atmosphere. Overall a delightful experience.”

“We had just arrived in Alexandria and we were looking for a place to eat and we stumbled across this Italian restaurant. They kindly seated us under the gorgeous lighting which creates a romantic atmosphere. I ordered the rigatoni which was phenomenal and quite literally melted in my mouth. The drinks were also very good. They gave us complementary mini soups, bread and a surprise dessert simply out of kindness which made my day. Thank you!!!”
“Food was great. Overall satisfied with the meal. Wait staff was quick and friendly. Worth a visit. Only way it could be improved is to have citronella candles on the table. There are no candles on the tables outside. Be sure to tip generously!”
“Wonderful dinner! ButterFish Rockefeller was delicious. Server Jeff was terrific, engaging and attentive. everything was really awesome.”
“We had the portobello bao bun, pork dumpling, bbq duck, and little pot. Everything was delicious!”
“Excellent service and food was great with large portions!”
“been going there for over 25 years!Great food!.Jack Daniels shrimp is always a hit!”
“I want to update my review of Josephine from New Year's Eve. I wish I could leave the other up to show how much better my second time was, but maybe that's for the best.Let me just say this: I have never been happier to be wrong about something. Truly, my most recent experience at Josephine was like night and day compared to the NYE episode.My wife and I met a friend of ours for dinner last Sunday. We were greeted immediately by the folks at the host station who showed us to our table upstairs. The aesthetic upstairs is really quite lovely. From there our wait staffer, Daisha, guided us through multiple courses of culinary delight.I started with their pea and mint soup, which was something I'd never had before. It was well balanced and didn't push too much in the direction of pea or mint. It's something I hope to try again. For my entree I had the boeuf bourguignon. The beef and carrot mixture was nestled into a mashed potato vessel that gave a charming elevation to French country fare. I was particularly impressed with the herb-y flavor of the mashed potatoes, it married well with the beef/carrots/sauce.My wife had the salmon, which came topped with a very generous portion of smokey roe. She loved the way the smokiness complimented the salmon. Our friend also went with seafood and had the shrimp and scallops. I was lucky enough to get a bite of the scallops which were well seasoned and almost buttery smooth in the center. Their sauce americaine was delightful.Finally, to make up for being out of desserts on NYE the staff sent us the creme brullee AND the opera cake, which we're both a delight.We also had a few martinis (the 50:50 was a stand out, especially if you're like me and like vermouth), a decaffeinated cappuccino, and more than enough Coke.A magnificent experience.”

“Went for the first time yesterday. Food was so good! I had the Dominator. The crab cakes was to die for. Customer Service was awesome and the inside was so clean. Only suggestion I make is signage on outside. You are known for your bright yellow sign but that isn’t what’s on your building. So it was alittle hard to find. I knew you was open from following you on social media and I knew the area because I use to live there but my parents who live walking distance and others wasn’t aware of you. I think having more signage and your bright yellow signs so people traveling on Richmond highways know you there will give you the business you deserve.”

“Two big pieces of French toast and fresh fried eggs. Simple and delicious! Friendly wait staff who treated me like a regular even though I’m a newcomer. The restaurant smells fresh and looks cozy like you’d expect. Glad I stopped in for an evening breakfast. Thanks for being open 24 hours in Arlington.”

“Not any different than your average McDonald's. Service was good and the food was hot. I dont eat fast food much especially with the prices nowadays they all think there a fortune 500 company.”
“Honestly I've been going here since I was a kid and they never mess up my food and I love how they make the chicken nuggets and fries, in every other place where I got mc Donalds they're always soggy. This is a perfect 10/10. I really like McDonald's for their good food and drinks. I recommend it!”
“I have been a McDonald's customer from coast to coast for about 65 years. This is one of my favorite stores. However, they recently installed a self-order/pay machine which I thought slowed things down. They also serve you at your table which I though a good thing.”
“Thank u McDonalds for being a good neighbors we love our mcdonalds”
“People come here to give us (hence) crew members an attitude n etc & when we scoop to their level we give “bad customer service” all the sudden ☹️. Treat others how you wanna be treated, simple ?”
“My bestie helped me kick off my birthday week celebration by buying me a triple whopper and onion rings. And of course we wore our burger king crowns! It has been a very long time since I had Burger King and the food was pretty good. Not something I want to eat on a regular basis but for an occasional fun treat it is good. I saw alot of negative reviews for this particular store but we had a nice time just hanging out eating our burgers and sharing fries. The workers were perfectly kind and gave me my order in a timely manner. It's Burger King so set your expectations realistically and just have a good time chilling. Life is too short to let missing ketchup packets ruin your day or mood. And also, please be kind to all service workers. There is no reason to be rude.”

Takeout Restaurants
“I've been following their Instagram page for a while and added them to my list of black owned businesses to try. I was able to experience their frozen custard this week at an agency event. The special of the day, a Black Velvet Sundae. The owner, Brandon, started to tell me what this sundae consisted of, and honestly, after I heard the words "dark chocolate," I was hooked!YES, this was as good as it looks!! You can see the delicious dark chocolate cupcake with a rich dark chocolate frosting on top of a generous scoop of vanilla frozen custard with a drizzle of chocolate fudge sauce that had me drooling! ? What you can't see is the dark chocolate Brownie with unexpected chocolate chips that all of this delciousness was built on!! OMG! That first spoonful had some of all the parts, and it was a little bit of heaven, all the way to the last bite. It was the perfect balance of sweetness and textures. The Black Velvet Sundae is a must have for dark chocolate lovers and dessert lovers alike.Although there were other food trucks out, Brandon and his team did a great job explaining their offerings, they provided samples of their frozen custard, had great energy and excellent service. I am looking forward to visiting their storefront soon to enjoy more of those epic looking desserts I see popping up on my Instagram feed! ?”

“The ribeye sandwich is insanely good—tender prime rib, thin sliced provolone, a pillow soft hoagie roll, and dipped in jus or on the side. Eddie’s has a good thing going!”
“I just discovered this place and I just love it! Amazing, healthy food options, nice selection of wines, vegan friendly options, and an amazing decor set up inside. They even have a really well rounded grocery section. Cheryl is so sweet! My first time around she was so kind and patient in answering my questions. That sort of kindness goes a long way. Definitely a new favorite - I'll be coming here for lunch breaks from now on!”
“I enjoyed the food and coffee, I bought me a detox pack of juices to get my detox started. Everything about this place is customer service friendly and great prices and quality food. Every time I visit this part of Virginia I have my go to spot zen press does the body good!!!”
“The food was excellent and the staff was amazing I am from New Jersey one of my friend recommended to me for sheeryakh but I did my Iftar here and have the sheeryakh that was so delicious thanks from your service ?❤️”
“While waiting on my car to get washed i looked around to see where the nearest food establishment was at because my stomach started to remind me that it's time to eat. I looked around the parking lot and nothing in eyes site until in the corner of my eye i spotted a red food truck. I said that's it, how convenient. The food not only looked good but dam it tasted better then it looked.”
“Aaron, our waiter, andJuan, the manager, were excellent! We had a small problem with our bill (they forgot to charge my meal) and I brought it to their attention. We also wanted separate bills for each of us (we were 3 in the party) and they happily accommodated our request, and graciously gave us complimentary champagne! Excellent!”
“Didn’t get to try the food, but great drinks and atmosphere and Jake the bartender is very passionate and excellent at his craft. Recommend stopping in!”
“The employees were very helpful and courteous; Yoseph, two thumbs up! Thanks for your help and your professional manners! I'll definitely be back!”
“Excellent service and food was great with large portions!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Great brewery with a focus on more traditional beer styles. Fair prices and great spaces for social gatherings both indoors and outdoors. Bike friendly with plenty of bike racks as well. There is typically a food truck on the scene in case you need a bite to eat.”
“The cashier was so kind and helpful. The noodles were delicious. They mad it extra spicy like we asked too. So amazing. I'm still drooling over the pan noodles we had.”
“Ordered takeout for the first time after driving by many times. I was in the mood for tacos and was not disappointed. I got the tacos dorados, which were perfectly crispy and not too heavy on toppings. My husband got a few tacos regulares with some different meats and loved them. We also got chips and guacamole, and loved that the chips were clearly handmade and fresh. Service was great (my husband actually left without the rice and beans and they called to tell us). As Texans, we are thrilled to find an authentic taco place with quality food. Will definitely be back.”
“The good: The food is always excellent quality. They’re not shy about the chips (other locations give you like five chips), staff are always friendly and helpful.The bad: My only complaint is very small. They advertise that they close at 10pm. However, on multiple occasions I have tried to grab some food between 9:30-9:45 and the doors are locked and they will signal that they are closed. I’m not taking away a star because the staff have explained it’s due to either staff shortage or food shortage, so not their fault.I do still highly recommend this Moe’s location.”
“Wanted to give a special shout out to this particular potbelly. They have THE BEST COSTUMER SERVICE! Every time I come, they are so sweet and helpful this particular time I was asking about the red velvet cookie and asked the cashier, Camille, what her opinions were. She literally bought the cookie for me just to try and gave the cookie to me just so I could taste it after giving me her review. They always go above and beyond. I go out of my way to go to Potbelly.”
“It's not just the delicious smoothies sandwiches and cookies! The convenience of preordering on the App definently helps...but when I can go in the mornings, get a smile and several of the ladies know my name/order...it's a better pick me up than Starbucks!”
“Potbelly's is always my go to Sandwich Place that offers quick and delicious meals. I wanted to try their new option, "Ring of Fire" and it was amazing! I love a spicy and juicy sandwich alongside a Cold Drink & Chips. Parking is never an issue and Service is great at this location.”
“It's McDonalds. No surprises here, we don't tell anyone that we eat here, but we all do, and when we do it's not too bad. This location has a quick drive-through.”
“They had the chicken sandwich that all the Popeye's in my neighborhood were sold out of! Long lines of course, but the employees moved quickly and efficiently and our food was fresh and hot. Win-Win for late Friday night!”
“This place was hopping at 9am on a Friday, which is always a good sign. The food came out fresh, hot and well presented.Wasn't a fan of the Loco Pupusa, but the Salsas and pickled Cabbage Salad was a good accompaniment.”
“Very small place but it’s like that at most DQs . Went there today during this COVID-19 and it was very busy. There was a customer in who ordered $35 worth of items and the line was all the way to the door and only one team member working. She was very surprised that everyone waited and nobody left while she prepared the large order. I loved her work ethics. She was calm and concise. She was not flustering trying to complete the large orders. She was polite and smiled and made small talks with every customer.”
“We had just arrived in Alexandria and we were looking for a place to eat and we stumbled across this Italian restaurant.

“Delicious flavorful food with friendly service. Plentiful omnivore and vegan options. One of my favorites in all of Alexandria.”
“Ordered take away on line and it was ready when I walked in. Ben searching for a place with a decent vermicelli bowl. This is the best I’ve had in the area. Service was friendly and quick. Online ordering was quick & simple. Definitely will order from here again.”
“Super cool! Cocktails are awesome and the service was top notch!! Just happened to wander in yesterday, what a find”
“Fantastic addition to the neighborhood! Everything I’ve tried so far has been good (mini pain au Chocolat, quiche, various pastries) if not great (buche de Noel, macarons, baguette sandwiches). The service is friendly, competent and efficient.I only wish they would use reusable dishes, mugs, and cutlery for dine in orders. Not only is it better for the planet and people, but it’s a better dining experience. They do allow for bring your own mug though, which I appreciate and use.”
“Great french toast, bacon, and eggs at Jack's Place. I wish I could give them a 4.5 instead of 4 overall because it hit the spot for a hole in the wall style diner that did a solid job with breakfast. I would return to try the pancakes and other breakfast items.”
“The food is always great quality and top notch in flavor! The staff is friendly and helpful while the restaurant is clean and inviting. If you’re looking for a good BBQ meal, I would highly recommend giving Mission BBQ a try! They also have an amazing catering menu that is perfect for any event or gathering.”
“High quality pastries as is with the staff who are extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. Try the croigel sandwiches here as well. The menu updates from time to time with new items. They would knock it out of the park EVEN more if they offered a strawberry croissant.”
“This place is always a sure bet! NEVER disappointed with the food - it hits the spot every time, and I've never tried something i didn't enjoy! I used to live nearby but moved out of state a few years ago. I need my Su Pollo fix every time I'm back in the area for work. I hope this place continues to stay in business for years to come!”
“Food was just okay. We came here for wing night, wings were good - Cajun ranch was the best thing about the meal. My friend was just in from the airport and decided to get the nacho app too - very sweet bbq on the nachos and the cheese seemed like it may be from a can or jar. A little disappointed.”
“Popped in for breakfast sandwiches while walking around and the women behind the counter were so kind and welcoming! They made us feel like we were eating in their home. Food was fresh, not greasy, the egg sandwiches were not too eggy (IYKYK) are two breakfast sandwiches, and one drink were less than $20, and the food was really great quality!”
“Prices are good, coffee drinks are delicious and service was friendly and efficient. Plenty of seating, both in the front room and the back. Looked like some outdoor seating as well. If you're a tea drinker, you'll be in tea heaven. So many options!!!”
“By far our FAVORITE cookies!! All the flavors we’ve tried are AMAZING!! They are huge, not super sweet, soft & delicious! Took them to our last tailgate and the college kids ate 8 monster cookies!! Loved them! They were a hit!!”
“Didn’t get to try the food, but great drinks and atmosphere and Jake the bartender is very passionate and excellent at his craft. Recommend stopping in!”
“buen lugar, excelente servicio, sabor tipico, buen sazon, bien servido el plato la gente increible y es uno recibido por el propietario douglas, excelentes palabras nos dio. recomendable 100%”

Truly, my most recent experience at Josephine was like night and day compared to the NYE episode.My wife and I met a friend of ours for dinner last Sunday.

It was well balanced and didn't push too much in the direction of pea or mint. It's something I hope to try again. For my entree I had the boeuf bourguignon.

“Burtons is such a blessing for those with allergies! Staff are highly trained, and everything is labeled so carefully! Every server has been top notch and the food is amazing!”
“My favorite place in the eisenhower area of Alexandria. Wonderful service and food. Great selection of asian beers and lovely cocktails. The fried tofu and kra pow bao appetizers are awesome. The thai iced tea is a great option for n/a. I have tried the red curry ramen (both non and veg and both are fantastic), the kaarage ramen, and gin ramen are wonderful too. The flavors are just right and all the dishes I have tried are not too heavy (well balanced.) The service whether its at the table or the bar is exceptional. The music (asian covers of popular songs) and ambiance are great as well. Highly recommend!”
“Lovely sashimi! Authentic Japanese dishes.”
“Definitely a place to drop by when you are in the neighborhood. This is my 2nd visit. Atmosphere is vibrant and service is good.Excellent food and will definitely revisit”
“This was the NOLA breakfast and it was fabulous. The bacon was crispy, the beignets were fluffy, the syrup was warm. I ate half a loaf of bread and a cup of fresh strawberries and cream before the meal came because it was delicious and I couldn't stop. Roll me out in a wheelbarrow.Also they open for brunch earlier than anyone else nearby, so it's great if you're out and about early.”
“I've been to a ton of these over in Japan, and a few in the U.S. The formula is almost always the same for how they're ran, how service is conducted, and how the food is made. I was pleasantly surprised to see this is not the case for Diya, the seating is more high-class, and the waiters are more mindful in terms of customer service and ensuring quality of service. The chicken in my dish was cooked very well, far better than any similar establishment I've been to. The rice was exquisite as well. This is a fantastic restaurant and worth the money.”
“We shared the roast beef sandwich and home fries. It was delicious!”
“Lovely dinner and great service! Great place to take family. It was fully booked so the noise level of happy customers was a bit loud, but overall was fine. We will be back!”
“Food was amazing! Service was top tier. Drinks were perfect. Price is what should be expected for a steakhouse with an enjoyable experience. I loved the ambiance and diversity! The managers were readily available if we needed anything that required attention.”
“Really good crab cake sandwich and fries. Husband says the oysters were fantastic, too. Our waitress was fantastic, and the manager took some time to chat with us after to make sure everything was good. We'll definitely be back!”
“Revel is truly the Belle Haven areas “Hidden Gem”!!! Modest and inconspicuous on the outside, when you step through the door you are transported to a chic and trendy LA locals hotspot. The wine, food, and service are second to none!!! Not to mention a few steps next door and you can select from the finest wines, charcuterie eats, and cigars available anywhere! Vanessa and her staff are truly exceptional!!”
“This Restaurant is Incredible ?. Great food and service ?. Perfection ?”
“Great bar to watch the Rugby. Good food too. Vibing.”
“When I go to some restaurants I tend to stick with the same thing. I stay away from things that well in my opinion the average restaurant have trouble making. I tried their potato salad it was delicious. Since I couldn't say said it was the best potato salad I've ever had since my wife was sitting there. Great place to eat crate service”
“The pickles brought to the table as soon as you're sat were some of the most delicious pickles I've ever had. I had the Avalon bison burger. It was huge, I could only eat half. Would come again.”
“This place was perfect. From seating to service. We have no complaints. There was no wait for seating. They were rather busy. For the first time there we were not disappointed with anything. The selection was full of great options to choose from. I went with the salmon, my wife had the Bolognese both were delicious. The place has a bar with a very nice selection. The seating is very spacious. With very clean restrooms which is always a plus. We have found our new go-to. Definitely will be returning. Thanks, Courtney for a very hospitable experience.”
“The food, drinks and service was top notch. Thank you for a great night.”
“Have dined and ate alone and with colleges at Momo. Always fresh sushi and great service. On my rotation in Old Town Alexandria. Love it!”
“Attended an event with a large amount of people, our Server Chief was fantastic!”
“We are from Ohio visiting the area and Tim was GREAT! Very personable and gave us some great tips! Food was great too!”
“Great pizza, we've been here a few times and it's consistently good food.The prices are a little high but I guess it makes sense giving where it's located.Also parking is the worst part of coming here, always a pain, you can use the garage and pay 20$ though...”
“The Owners are just as amazing as the food…..and my god you literally think you’re in Cypress eating the most authentic greek food. Best dining experience i have ever had and would eat there every day if I could.”
“Kumo is my go to spot for sashimi/sushi in the DMV area. My favorite asian fusion restaurant for over 10 years. It is perfect for date night, special occasions and business lunches. I've taken my children here and they love it. Everything on the menu is delicious and their prices are reasonable. The sashimi and sushi are crazy fresh. Our usual includes Salt & Pepper Shrimp, Hunan Triple Crown, Salt & Pepper Soft Shell Crab, and General Tso's Shrimp. This hidden gem is tucked away in a strip mall in Kingstowne. They do get busy, so I would make a reservation especially if you're going on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday.Parking: Open lot, plenty of parking”
“Gotta love a good brewery with some great events! We are regulars at their trivia night - and it's a ton of fun. I enjoy Aslin's sour beer selection and love that their fans feature artwork that is fun and quirky! The staff is wonderful and we always feel welcome :) Don't give this place a miss! check out their trivia night (and while at it, also their goat yoga!)!”
“Such a wonderful evening for an impromptu celebration! Festive, fun, delicious but also comfortable and relaxing - a perfect evening. Second time having their steak frites and it is always a winner.”
“We stopped in today from out of town and had a delicious lunch! Great food, beer selection, and delicious sauces! Will definitely be back!”
“I realize how important reviews are for small businesses like this, especially for sushi which is so unique especially for knowing which places have fresh seafood. I came here several weeks ago with very moderate expectations. Everything was delicious. The sashimi platter was phenomenal as well as the specialty rolls. This place is definitely fresh and worth a try.”
“Burger was a bit pink at the ends but it was still delicious. Fries were super salty though. But also delicious. Definitely try it out.”
“Used to really like this place but we were denied seating on the patio unless we had a dog. We have two young children and it is much easier to manage them outside and there was no one else out there. Thanks for the quick respons Sisters at Old Town North Alexandria you guys have been one of our favorite places and I hope we can visit again in the future.”
“Love Landini brothers. Great food and great service. So glad they survived the pandemic.”
“My wife and I hosted are wedding after party here and rented the space for a private event. We cannot recommend this place enough, from the amazing cocktails, awesome atmosphere and delicious food options (try the wagyu sliders!!). The team went above and beyond to make our event special.”
“Very authentic Uzbek and Russian cuisine. The establishment was very clean and inviting.”
“I ordered a special dish that was not in the menu and I was surprised to experience a restaurant that will cater to what I want to eat. The squid alla marinara pasta sautéed perfectly blended with the right spices and herbs. I tasted basil and it was minty and really satisfied my appetite. Thank you for the extra freshly made bread, salad with the special house sauce + the tiramisu for the dessert. This is my second time to visit this restaurant and I will surely come back the next time we are in the neighborhood. Grazie!!!”
“I'm from Texas and they made me feel like I was home. The bartender George was awesome and I was treated to a diverse crowd. Food was great and the alcohol was flowing. Thank you for the great hospitality.”
“We had a wonderful evening of 8 friends, champagne was perfect temp! Green goddess salad delicious! Veggie option was fantastic and FRESH! Salmon was crispy and delightful. Special treat was the sweet potato biscuits!! Yummy. Great service! Lovely and Local!”
“The food is amazing! The Pita House is one of my favorite restaurants in Old Town! I have never been disappointed.”
“I’m so glad I tried this place! The food is the best Ethiopian food I’ve had. I had the vegetarian platter and it was so tasty with the right level of spice. The service was superb. The waitress was so sweet to my son while we waited for our food. The atmosphere is nice, clean, and comfortable. I will definitely come again!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian combo platter”
“Really enjoyed this new gem in Old Town. Service was excellent and the food was amazing. If you're looking for a new spot for modern Indian cuisine- this is it!”
“Nice spot with great employees, seated quickly and the food was great. Awesome outside seating with tvs”
“The food was great and the service was outstanding. Parking was a little awkward and had to pay for parking because I couldn't find a spat in the crowded shopping center. The ambience was mediocre but clean and well lit.”
“Outstanding service and excellent food! Highly recommended”
“Husband and I both got 2 meat platter because we wanted leftovers. It’s enough food for 3 meals easy. Everything was delicious!! My favorites were the brisket, cucumber salad and cornbread. Donna’s got it going on cause her food is full of flavor!!”
“In town for a conference and this place is perfect for solo dining. Bartenders and servers were welcoming and helpful. Delicious wine list, and a fun selection of cheeses and charcuterie. Onion jam was special. The assortment of breads served with the cheeseboard were warm from the oven, it’s a small touch, but it’s not often done. Only thing I would change is to offer a wine flight so I could try several different wines.”
“Our server Jayla was awesome! She was very friendly. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m. weather was gorgeous outside and the outdoor patio was well covered, but we decided to sit inside. The restaurant wasn't too crowded. Jayla asked if it was our first time at Blackwall Hitch, which it was, so she went over the local favorites. She recommended the flaming crab dip and it was delicious!!! Jayla offered us extra Naan chips which I thought was generous for an upscale restaurant. I asked if she could bring us extra with a to-go box to take the rest of the dip. We also had the mahi mahi tacos and chicken-pancetta flatbread - both were great. Jayla often checked on us. We had a lovely time and the service was great! Thank you!”
“I don't give a 5 star rating often, but the food, ambiance, and service here is perfect. I eat Thai food a lot and usually, the curry doesn't have a lot of chicken. Not here, the curry here has a nice balance of spiciness and has a lot of chicken. The mango in the sticky rice tasted like it was picked from the garden of Eden. This is my new favorite spot. The ambiance in this place is nice and elegant and there is also a bar where you can watch sports. The food here is also very affordable. I don't have photos of the curry and spring rolls because I ate them too fast. HIGHLY recommend this place.”
“My whole family wanted sushi, so we ended up here. We were seated immediately. Service was prompt with placing our orders but we had to wait a long time for our dinners. Fortunately our appetizers came fast: calamari and gyoza were delicious! Miso soups were eaten fast. We ordered 3 rolls: kamikaze, snow man and summer dragon. Both kamikaze and summer dragon were delicious. Sashimi orders: salmon, yellow tail, tobiko, tuna and mackerel. The sashimi piece were huge! Fish quality was good. They were so good our kids got more salmon sashimi and yellow tails. Our daughter does not recommend the mackerel sashimi. My hubby also ordered their eggplant with pork (Thai). It was served with a side of rice and it was very filling.”
“We moved from Dallas a few years ago and have been trying to find our Tex Mex spot in ALX- Dos Hermanos has quickly become the spot! The most authentic Tex mex we've found.”
“The atmosphere (live piano music) and service (descriptive, helpful, attentive) stood out on our visit. The food was well prepared and creative, but several of the flavors just didn't quite mesh. Sometimes flavors cancelled each other out or overpowered one another, which was a shame because everything was beautifully cooked and prepared. Would recommend trying this place out regardless due to the pleasant atmosphere and cocktails.”
“Northside 10 is a vibe. We are regulars for a reason. Great friendly staff, great fast service, great tasting food. Come thru, you won’t be dissappointed.”
“I hesitate telling you about this place because I don't want It too overcrowded. This is quite possibly the best cigar bar in the DMV hands down. I'm a cigar guy, been to them all over. Super cool bar, cool mix of people from all walks of life. Live bands, excellent food, excellent bar tenders. Shelly's Back room is a close second, and I love Shelly's. This is my happy place. The pork belly app is an app- unless you are deep into a Serie V torpedo and a couple of Four Roses Small Batch select neat, then it's a glorious meal fit for a king. Come here to indulge and relax, you won't be disappointed. -Dan”
“The staff is fantastic. Steve & Kendall gave great customer service”
“The red tin tin pizza was slightly above average just looking at the sauce, cheese, and toppings. However, I was not a fan of the crust (weirdly like whole wheat and not crispy or chewy, rather like a dinner roll).The artichoke spinach dip was really tasty. They put cheese in it as well to add to the combo. I like that they serve it with pita bread in addition to tortilla chips (the chips were kinda stale). Big selection of craft beers.”
“The food is really excellent. It's nothing you haven't had before, if you go to nice restaurants fairly often. But everything is fresh and well prepared, and knowing the ingredients are local does make it special. On the night I went, the service was missing a beat. Everyone was friendly and helpful, but the pacing of the farm table tasting menu was off. Several courses would come almost on top of each other, and then a long wait for the next cluster. Sometimes the runners would drop off the plates and run off without saying what they were. Not what you expect on this type of evening, and tweaking that just a little would pay big dividends. We did appreciate the extra 'unlisted' plates from the chef, which really help justify the price tag. You'd think they would advertise them, or at least tease the possibility. The trout course was amazing, and the custard dessert was a great finisher. Beer selection is great, though the cocktails are a little overpriced at $16. Overall a great place for a special night out.”
“This is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is authentic. The pasta especially makes me feel like I’m back in Italy. It’s not overpriced. The staff is friendly and gracious. You can get half portions. Who doesn’t like that. The white clams with linguine is sublime. Desserts are a hit too. Overall a great experience. I never leave wondering why I just spent a chunk of money for an ok meal. Worth the trip and parking is pretty easy. A treat in Old Town.”
“LOVE this restaurant! Stopped in last evening for dinner and enjoyed the Oysters,Oysters,Oysters off the restaurant week menu! The fried and grilled oysters were perfection and the raw oysters were fresh and DELISH! We stick to appetizers on this visit, after the oyster feast we moved on to the peel and eat shrimp, perfectly cooked and seasoned with Old Bay and the Mussels in the spicy broth! Do yourself a favor and get extra bread to dip in the broth, you won’t be sorry! We didn’t have them on this visit, but one of the must try’s in my opinion is the Lobster Poutine! AMAZING! The amount of lobster in this dish at the price point of under $20 is OUTRAGEOUS in the very best sense of the word! The whiskey offerings at this establishment are some of the best that I have seen. I literally discovered one of very favorite bourbons here, Jefferson’s Ocean! The selections range from your basic line up, interesting new finds and hard to get must try’s. The man behind this whiskey magic is Edward, the bartender/manager. Edward is knowledgeable and loves to talk about his offerings, so don’t be shy, ask questions and be prepared to learn a little something! We have enjoyed everything from their brunch offerings, seafood and burgers! Wine to whiskey and everything in between and have never been disappointed! We recently moved, and now have to brave 45 minutes of Beltway traffic (and that’s on a good day as we all know..lol) to get to this spot. So if you good food, attentive service and an amazing selection of whiskey are your thing, trust me when I tell you this is the place for you!”
“Such a wonderful evening for an impromptu celebration! Festive, fun, delicious but also comfortable and relaxing - a perfect evening. Second time having their steak frites and it is always a winner.”
Latest Reviews
“Went to the store this evening and I was impressed by the speed of service, courtesy of employees and the great tasting tenders. This store is one of my favorites as I can always expect to get fresh food. What's more important is that the restaurant is always clean, regardless of the number of customers they have in the store. I was also impressed with the cashier ensuring the food was fresh and they just didn't just throw anything in our box. I honestly wish more fast-food places would out as much time into making sure the customer was happy with their purchase. I will definitely be back.”
“This Restaurant is Incredible ?. Great food and service ?. Perfection ?”
“We dined here last night (July 8) and it was wonderful! This was our second visit to this location. Being Landry members, we try the restaurants wherever we are visiting. I am appalled at how rude the guests in line were to the hostess, Angela. She kept her composure while being videoed and berated for something that she said to all the guests…there were no reservations available. I didn’t see the manager, but I hope they back their employees. Otherwise, delicious meal and great service! We will return!!”
“Magically amazingly terrible experience. A rat crawled up my arm right into my mouth! YUM! It danced in my stomach before being digested.”
“The employees were very helpful and courteous; Yoseph, two thumbs up! Thanks for your help and your professional manners! I'll definitely be back!”
“Hubby and I ate at the Diner last night ( September 5) for the first time. We live in Maryland,and decided we will patronize the Executive Diner again , and again. Appetizers were wonderful,as was the salad,and entrees. Had to bring some home because of the generous servings! This is our new “ go to””
“On a whim stopped in here to give it a try. Very friendly and attentive staff. Very friendly staff, and Family owned and operated. Really great pizza with real ingredients no harmful chemicals or fake toppings. Very reasonable prices too. Glad to know about this spot. Will def be back!”
“When I go to some restaurants I tend to stick with the same thing. I stay away from things that well in my opinion the average restaurant have trouble making. I tried their potato salad it was delicious. Since I couldn't say said it was the best potato salad I've ever had since my wife was sitting there. Great place to eat crate service”
“This place was such a delightful discovery! The attentive care by the owner and staff made us feel welcomed and at home. And the food was so good! Truly fantastic. We had the grilled tilapia with bantu and okra soup with fufu. We were super grateful for water and bowl at our table to wash our hands before and after the meal, too. We'll definitely be back.”
“Gracias Noelia por su servicio, y su amabilidad.. Y gracias por las margaritas q iso muy ricas gracias...????”
“I liked the variety of dishes, and really enjoyed the pho soup. I visited other buffets and this I can say is a favorable one to included a decent price.”
“Old Blue catered my daughters wedding. I will be recommending them to everyone I know. Old Blue has the best BBQ food in the greater DC area - so, that would be enough to recommend them - however, if you are planning an event, you will not believe the quality of the service they offer. Everyone was helpful, had great suggestions, they even shared decorations with us. The day of the wedding was also perfect - they were attentive and seemed to anticipate every need. Again, they would be worth it just for the food, but they perfect because of everything else.”
“First time Customer 05/12/23. My experience was great. I was very surprised at the variety of flavors, I chose Vanilla (I figured you can’t go too wrong w/ Vanilla), IT was Delicious, I can’t wait to try some of the other Flavors now, the Homemade Taste was awesome, the prices were great, the speed of service was marvelous( It was seemingly right during “rush hour”, there was a line, however, the line moved swiftly, the Helpers (Young Staff), was very flexible, friendly, patient, quick, on top of things and handled business very professionally. I was impressed. I will GO BACK and refer Friends and Family to my New Found “Custard/ Ice Cream” Place. It’s been kept a secret from me. Now I Know.”
“Gene was an awesome job! Food was great. I can't wait to bring my family back.”

“Had a good time but Hen Quarter needs more wait staff and the ladies bathroom has two broken stalls. It took quite some time for our table to even get water. Why on the weekend is there only one bathroom stall available for the ladies?”
“What a great pizza place. Went there for lunch with my girlfriend. We got double pepperoni and Italian sausage pizza. Great service and great food. Will be back.”
“One of the most delicious Italian dinners I have ever had. Everything was a Authentic and a Quality ingredient and well prepared.”
“We're locals—who visit King & Rye often. We like the food...great cocktails...excellent service! (On our last visit, we found the music irritating—and irritatingly loud. Ha! But we'll still be going back for the rest of it!)”
“We stumbled upon this place while at the car wash across the street and placed an order for dinner. WOW. The service at pickup was great with so many smiling faces. The food was SO FLAVORFUL. Drool worthy. The jerk chicken had good heat, so tasty, and a good serving size. The jerk chicken and curry chicken patties were so yummy, we wanted more. The fried plantains were perfect. Can’t wait to go back.”
“I finally made it here! & to see the hype and because my yelp friends kept mentioning it!!... its total cooked up legal crack!! Got a chicken box and let me tell you!! It's No regular fried chicken!! That chicken skin must be dipped in finely grounded in house or fresh Amish market rinds bacon & made until crispy it's definitely Something!!! cuz it's heavily reminiscent of pork rinds!!! It's chicken that you can't compare at ALL.. from the coating the juicy seasoned chicken when you bite into it it's flavor through and through and that's where A LOT of establishments miss it your chicken meat has to be seasoned too!!! just just after you fry it!! The Mumbo Sauce is highly recommended!! it has a excellent kick to it can't be compared to your hood mumbo sauce either!! Like not even a little bit!! The service and ambience is very chill friendly . Oh and if you're worried about your chicken getting soggy skin after you close your box even for 15 minutes!! It won't happen your skin stays CRISPY CRUNCHY!! And that's Top Tier right there and doesn't dry out if you nuke it in the microwave for a little bit. It's safe to say I'll be returning here to try other items!!”
“Just ordered from here for the first time and the food came quickly and was impressively good. I recommend the lamb/chicken combo.”
“food was amazing. Korean BBQ wings, spaghetti and meatballs, custom pizza, all of it tasted amazing. Nice ambiance and pretty great location.”
“Two big pieces of French toast and fresh fried eggs. Simple and delicious! Friendly wait staff who treated me like a regular even though I’m a newcomer. The restaurant smells fresh and looks cozy like you’d expect. Glad I stopped in for an evening breakfast. Thanks for being open 24 hours in Arlington.”
“We decided to try this restaurant out on Mother's Day and we had a nice time! We went around noon. The restaurant was not crowded at that time but you do have the option to make a reservation online. The employees were nice and they gave out flowers to the mothers for the day, which was a really sweet gesture. Overall, the food was good! The only thing we had that we did not care for was the French toast and the bacon funnel fries. The French toast was underwhelming and the bacon fries were just a weird, meh dish. All of our other dishes were delicious. I would recommend the grits dish because the pork belly was too good. There is street parking all around the restaurant; we had no issues finding a quick parking space. The restaurant is nice and clean and there is also a bar area. Overall, worth the visit. I would return to try the dinner menu.”

“One of the most delicious place to eat, the rice bowl and fries bowl with the combo meat was the best. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Great customer Service and VERY generous with the portion they give you. Honestly if you feeling for a chipotle bowl, come here instead!”
“Decent standard American brunch fare, good portions, and excellent service. Super noisy, which is to be expected. If you order coffee, the wait staff brings a small carafe to your table, which is nice. Even though the place was packed, we felt no pressure to hurry up and leave. Take your bill up to the front registers to pay.”
“I had the pleasure of experiencing outstanding customer service from Prescilla at Tropical Smoothie. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond truly impressed me.She listened attentively to my concerns and provided clear and helpful solutions. Her friendly demeanor and genuine care made my experience exceptional. I highly recommend Prescilla for her excellent customer service skills.”
“Jose was wonderful! It was my first time here and he made me feel comfortable and that I could order anything off the menu and even gave me samples of the sauces to make sure I knew what I was getting! What awesome service!”
“Everything about this place was great. The decor takes you to Greece, you feel like you're on a side street in Mykonos. I reserved this for Mother's Day Brunch. They accommodated my daughter's gluten allergy well and the food was delicious. I will definitely be back.”
