35 Best American Restaurants near Fairfax

We stopped there just because they had Creamy Lemon Crumble for the flavor of the day, but it turned out to be Creamy Vanilla Crumble. We couldn’t taste any lemon, though there was lots of cookie crumble in it.“

“Ordered food and received sandwiches with bad lettuce. I called to notify the restaurant and the lady who answered replied with "it's hard to find good lettuce." This will be my last time ordering.“

“I've past by this on the way to Menards for too many years. Today I did it and not just me invited friends and fam to the event of going to Jonsey's. What have I been doing not going here more often?
Wow. Everyone was full at the end. My teenager especially remarked he was full so that's a testament.
Because he's gluten free they put his pulled pork in a real bowl and served it to him. The fries had a wonderful flavor and great seasonings. We got the mushrooms too. Mmm. Great! And of course the tenderloin! Wow. It was amazing! I got the small this time. I'm debating getting the large next time.
Nice simple but clean environment. Friendly service.“

“great service and great food“

“Traditional wings are meaty. Burgers were cooked to order (medium). Beverage glasses were always refilled without being told. Bathrooms are clean. Their staff really like their jobs & care about your experience while you are there. Food is priced right, very affordable.“

“Great spot down by the Cedar River. I am a big fan of Czech Pilsners and insisted we make time for a lunch and a beer there. What a great time; chatted it up with the locals and the bartender on an early Friday afternoon. I ordered the goulash and dumplings and my darling ordered a pork tenderloin. Both were great but hers was exceptional. Solid selection of Czech beers, Czechvar being my favorite. Reasonable tab for food and drinks and a nice friendly visit with locals to boot in an authentic old-school tavern. If you visit be sure to have them point out how high the flood waters got in the 2008 downpours.“

“Always a great shopping experience!!!“

“OMG This place is so delicious ? and the food is HOT I've never gone to a restaurant where the food is remotely close to how hot the food is so great job for having a HOT food and it stayed HOT through my whole meal ??and we had GREAT service I ? recommend this place if you like fish, frys, and ECT 10/10 DELICIOUS ?“

“They say the best way to a man's heart is through food—am I about to marry the owner? No. But I will say this: it’s hands down the best meal I’ve had in the U.S. so far. The way the spices harmonise with the meat is a masterpiece, letting the natural flavours shine while the spices create a symphony of aromas that’s pure heaven.“

“awesome waitresses, Grace, Rachael and Sandy. They make us feel like family. we eat here 3 to 4 times a week. excellent food and service!!“

“We went for Easter brunch and the staff did an amazing job and the food was great“

“My daughter and I got invited out to dinner with my parents, niece, and nephew. While out for dinner, my daughter who is 5 and Autistic started displaying that she was overstimulated and was screaming and as most would call "throwing a tantrum". Several had looked and I told my nephew that just because my kid has Autism doesn't mean that she should have to be excluded from going out because of her disability. When I felt like I was becoming overwhelmed, a young man who was either a server or bused tables stopped by my table and told me completely understood how I felt because he too had a 5 year old Autistic son and discussed the whole difficulty having to wait to have his son diagnosed. To hear him discuss this with me and make me feel a lot calmer and as if I wasn't doing anything wrong and shouldn't be ashamed of taking my child out was really amazing. Our server was also very polite about the situation. I know several would have told me that I had to calm my child or leave, but this young lady stayed calm and kept her cool. I wish I had got both their names, but they definitely showed me how kind humanity really is. Both really deserve a raise and the server definitely deserved the $10 tip we left her.“

“Loved this place but it has gone down hill. Service was horrible. Food cold. 3 people standing at hostress stand, 1 being the manager. I went up and asked for some ketchup that we had been waiting for about 15 minutes. 3 out of 7 in our party had finished their meals. The manager was nasty to me stating "We are Busy" He did get it but by then the sandwhich wasn't good.“

“The best food and beer around without question. Only thing closer is a small bar all the way on the west coast, this is the best you will ever get that isnt expensive“

“My boyfriend and I came in last night and we both got the OG Street Tacos. They were great! The cocktails were great as well! It was our 3rd time in and we will definitely be back. The service was quick and attentive.“

“I tried your restaurant today and it was so delicious. Everyone was so friendly and I will be back. Thank you so much.💖“

“Simple menu but executed to perfection.“

“My family did a catering order for Easter and Oscar’s exceeded our expectations! Christina helped me plan the menu and even accommodated my special request of deviled eggs. The portions were generous and everything was SO delicious!! We will definitely be ordering again for our next family gathering. Highly recommend!“

“once again I went to the cedar rapids location and got bad service and bad food.the manager was no wherev2 be found.“
