“Don't let the hole-in-the-wall look of this place fool you, if you want good, fresh, CHEAP Chinese food you have found the place. They do not believe in portion control and I am here for it. They will fill a take-out container to the brim for next to nothing and they always make the egg rolls and wontons fresh to order. My husband absolutely loves this place and will choose it over any other Chinese takeout in town. You chose how many types of protein you want and they will combo it up with noodles or rice. Everything is fast and you can dine in or take out. We recently moved and my husband is so mad he can't find a place like this close by.”

“To be honest, I'e come to expect the worse from Whataburger when it comes to service and wait times. But I like the food, so every now and then we'll give it another try. I was pleasantly surprised by this visit though when we were passing through Alexandria. Elijah took our order and brought the food to our table. This place felt very clean, the service was great, and Elijah went above and beyond. Great job guys, and I hope more locations will take your example.”

“6-25-23 came for the first time around 9:40 A.M.I called first to see if they had bagels (because my fella likes bagels), but they didn't.Anyway, they DID have cinnamon rolls!!!!I also ordered the pinecone donut because I read the reviews...and MOST of them RAVEE about the pinecones!The Cinnamon rolls are a 10/10!!!The Pinecone donuts are 10/10!!!Go get you some!!!I was afraid that the donuts would have been all cold and stuff because it was wayyyy about 7, but they were fresh!!!I have no idea what you Alexandria folks like about Shipley's (yuck, yuck, yuck) but THIS PLACE IS WHERE THE QUALITY OLD-FASHIONED STYLE RECIPES AND CREATED WITH LOVE COMES FROM!!”

It is on the pricier side, but I would definitely eat here again!”

“I am originally from Philadelphia Pennsylvania. My husband's coworker mentioned this place so we figured we'd give it a chance. First time we ordered chicken (8pc) for dinner. Chicken was hot fresh and delicious. Staff was very friendly and made us feel comfortable. Second third fourth time going we both had a cheese steak. Let me tell you, that was the closest thing to an actual Philly PA cheese steak we ever had. We tried multiple before which were garbage. If you want great tasting food with great pricing I would highly recommend this place. They will forever be my go to place for chicken, steak or anything on that menu. This isn't just take out, this is family. Forever grateful I found this place.”

“The potatoes are awesome, with the exception of the bacon bits. My favorite is the traditional beef. The shrimp potatoe is good also. The shrimp are not devained, so I won't order again. They charge enough for the potatoes to provide real bacon bits. Wish they would offer a military discount as well.”

“For dinner... our appetizer was Crawfish Bread & entrees were the Catfish Jenkins with blackened catfish, side of sweet potatoes, & Red Beans & Rice with fried catfish & side of Crawfish Mac & Cheese.Crawfish Bread: very good, super cheesy, slightly soggy.Catfish Jenkins : delicious, but order the fish fried, because the blackened is bland. We plan to order this again.Sweet Potatoes: amazing!!!Beans & Rice: also delicious, but different than what we expected; smokey, subtle flavor. We do recommend this.Crawfish Mac: we wished it was listed as an entree!Dessert: both the Strawberry Cheesecake & Banana Bread Pudding were excellent!! 10/10 HIGHLY recommend. I will likely be back just for dessert!Brunch was...Shrimp & Grits: fabulous; the gouda & creamy sauce MADE this dish; if you need NO shell, request the tails off! Otherwise, tails are on.Sunnyside up eggs, Sausage, Biscuit, & Hashbrown patties: eggs were good, as were potatoes, sausage was bland & greasy.Sweet tea is what you expect for good tea!Peaceful, enjoyable environment. History all over the building.At the front desk of restaurant, ask for Molly! She was so attentive at dinner. We were very impressed with her service.”

His friendly demeanor made my visit enjoyable, and he went above and beyond to ensure a great experience. Kudos to Gavin for making a difference!”
“This Subway is amazing!! Many restaurants in the area should go here to see how service should be done. From the moment we walked in until we left, we received exceptional customer service from this team. We were picking up sandwich trays for my sons birthday party, which were very tasty and delicious. The facilities were very clean. They even wished my son a happy birthday and told him that they hoped he enjoyed the sandwiches! Thank you for the amazing service and sandwiches!”

“A gem with possibly best fried chicken served in a fast food restaurant. Perfectly prepared fried chicken, with dry crispy breading abd skin, and moist chicken that tasted great 2 days later as well. Slight spice bite flavor if no sauce applied, which makes uiu crave more without being overpowering. Cajun seasoned fries crispy and flavorful. Wl definitely be back for more.”

“Went by Critics Choice this afternoon for lunch.Yep. It’s a good choice.I love the retro feel of the place.It’s a family-run business with a waitress whom I wish was everywhere i went. (Very, very dry humor, but not sarcastic. Very kind lady)It was a quiet afternoon in downtown Alexandria and we were the only customers at that time.It’s a sandwich shop.But, oh yes, these folks know how to make sandwiches.My club sandwich on rye was exactly that.Very good meats and a smooth creamy cheese, with crisp cold lettuce, tomato, with just enough mayo on toasted rye.Skyler had a yummy roast beef sandwich with gravy (on a kaiser roll).Stephanie’s corned beef looked phenomenal.We requested an order of fries. When crinkle fries are cooked just right, they are crisp, light, and stay good even as they cool. Yes, those are the fries we had. They call them ‘freedom fries.’ And it felt like freedom indeed from all the wanna-be fries that i’ve had.And Elijah’s personal pan pepperoni pizza looked perfect. Not too dark or too light. Well cooked food for a growing boy.The hot tea we had was perfectly brewedIf you go, expect a good sandwich in an atmosphere from the last century.Leave knowing you have just had a very good sandwich with a nice relaxed atmosphere in a family run business which cares about the quality of their food and the comfort of their customers.Yep, i’m going back.PS: When i spoke to the sweet owner, she did mention that she loved collecting clowns.Actually, there was memorabilia from several different genres.A little Disney, a little of the Hollywood stars from the 50’s, a holiday tree, beautiful holiday wreath, some gorgeous dolls, and a few clowns.The room was large enough that it didn’t seem oppressive.?Vegetarian options: Although this is a sandwich shop with good meats and cheeses, i did see a veggie only sandwich in the style of a Philly cheese steak sandwich.Parking: Street parking around the corner; also a parking lot right past the stop light.Kid-friendliness: Relaxed atmosphere with room between the tables. Several food options available.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily wheelchair accessible”
“The Main Dish is an easy choice for lunch. Aside from the delicious menu and personable servers, it’s impossible to leave without getting my favorites from the prepared food section!”
“This is authentic & delicious Mexican food! You really must try! No passport necessary! We dined inside. Cool religious statues sold. Refreshing coconut drinks, & festive music!”

I don't know how to explain it but just sitting there and eating breakfast my wife and I love this place!!!!! I suppose the reason why we love it is because we can get a booth and eat our meal sit next to the window and watch people walk by, as if we were back in time. They also do lunch!!!!8[>”

The employees are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I love all the variety of coffee they have to offer. I was able to sit peacefully and get some work done. Also, at the new location there’s a drive through! No need to get out if you are in a hurry. This place is my jam ???”
“Nice location. Friendly people, easily accessible. Love the ice. Order was wrong but throttle positive energy allowed me to try it, like it and still enjoy myself”
“Great authentic Vietnamese food secretly hidden here in town. Their Ga Nuong (grilled chicken dish) was very good and I should have ordered another to go ?. Next time I will definitely try their Pho or Cha Cha. The customer service was awesome as well. While traveling I find it very rare to find such an authentic Vietnamese place serving up wonderful homemade dishes. They also have a store next door, which you can purchase authentic Vietnamese foods as well. Will definitely recommend...?”

I would definitely recommend this location for an event! My husband and I were happy we chose this location. Thanks y'all!”
“The food was exactly like the Old Oriental Wok that used to be on Bolton Avenue. The service was good, but a bit slow... to be fair, they were very busy. It was a bit too loud as the seating was quite close together.”

“In the area for work. I was finally able to visit this place especially since they are only open for 3 hours or so. I ended up ordering the Crawfish Etouffee w/catfish. The sides were potato salad and corn. The Etouffee was pretty decent only complaint is the rice was a little sticky. The fish was well cooked and moist ( just a little salty).”

It's always hot, fresh and delicious. I've had the boudin balls and meatpies and love them too! I've never experienced any service issues.”
“Good little bar and grill spot. Had a little trouble pulling in due to the intersection. A little slow for a weekday lunch, but has a good atmosphere. Only saw two employees working, but Allison was very attentive and polite. Highly recommend the Mile High Burger; the sautéed onions and peppers made it very tasty. Seasoned fries were very mild. Might recommend the onion rings or sweet potato fries, they looked pretty good. Seating is just wooden booths and chairs, but weren’t uncomfortable. Also has outdoor seating. Has good potential for a local hangout spot. Saw Big Buck Hunter and a cornhole board in the bar area as well.”
“It's a food truck so of course it's a bit noisy. No way around that. BUT the food and service is second to none. The food is better than any of the restaurants around here and the staff are friendly and quick. No complaints here. Best believe I'll be back.”
“Just like a little pizza joint in NYC. Unpretentious and good pizza. The owner is very friendly and super sweet. He will treat you right!! We had a large pizza, half pepperoni, half meat lover, plus garlic knots, cheesecake and flan. I'd order all again.”

“Teresa provided exceptional customer service during our visit. Her recommendation of the pot roast was spot on - it was absolutely delicious. Not only did she bring extra napkins without us having to ask, but she also made sure our drinks were always topped up, showing great attention to detail. Teresa's prompt service and constant checking in on us truly enhanced our dining experience. It's safe to say this was the best service we've ever received thanks to Teresa's outstanding job!”
“1. The food was really good however, my taste buds would like to have a bit more punch. But I found it to be satisfying. 2. The service was friendly and welcoming. I did carry out but I found the establishment clean and welcoming as well. I would take my family there.”
“I think our waitress was Melyssa or some thing like that. Anyway, she was wonderful. So attentive and made sure that our food and service was perfect, even though she was busy. She's a keeper!”
“We stopped by this restaurant on our cross country road trip and were so happy we did! Great food and even better service. The manager, Malcolm, was so friendly with every costumer that walked in and made our experience extra special!”
“The potatoes are awesome, with the exception of the bacon bits. My favorite is the traditional beef. The shrimp potatoe is good also. The shrimp are not devained, so I won't order again. They charge enough for the potatoes to provide real bacon bits. Wish they would offer a military discount as well.”
“Went by Critics Choice this afternoon for lunch.Yep. It’s a good choice.I love the retro feel of the place.It’s a family-run business with a waitress whom I wish was everywhere i went. (Very, very dry humor, but not sarcastic. Very kind lady)It was a quiet afternoon in downtown Alexandria and we were the only customers at that time.It’s a sandwich shop.But, oh yes, these folks know how to make sandwiches.My club sandwich on rye was exactly that.Very good meats and a smooth creamy cheese, with crisp cold lettuce, tomato, with just enough mayo on toasted rye.Skyler had a yummy roast beef sandwich with gravy (on a kaiser roll).Stephanie’s corned beef looked phenomenal.We requested an order of fries. When crinkle fries are cooked just right, they are crisp, light, and stay good even as they cool. Yes, those are the fries we had. They call them ‘freedom fries.’ And it felt like freedom indeed from all the wanna-be fries that i’ve had.And Elijah’s personal pan pepperoni pizza looked perfect. Not too dark or too light. Well cooked food for a growing boy.The hot tea we had was perfectly brewedIf you go, expect a good sandwich in an atmosphere from the last century.Leave knowing you have just had a very good sandwich with a nice relaxed atmosphere in a family run business which cares about the quality of their food and the comfort of their customers.Yep, i’m going back.PS: When i spoke to the sweet owner, she did mention that she loved collecting clowns.Actually, there was memorabilia from several different genres.A little Disney, a little of the Hollywood stars from the 50’s, a holiday tree, beautiful holiday wreath, some gorgeous dolls, and a few clowns.The room was large enough that it didn’t seem oppressive.?Vegetarian options: Although this is a sandwich shop with good meats and cheeses, i did see a veggie only sandwich in the style of a Philly cheese steak sandwich.Parking: Street parking around the corner; also a parking lot right past the stop light.Kid-friendliness: Relaxed atmosphere with room between the tables. Several food options available.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily wheelchair accessible”

“This was my husband and I first time here and it was great! Literally the BEST seafood boil ever!! I Literally raved the whole way home about how good it was and how I wish I had more even though I was so full, it tasted that great. The seasoning/sauces were on point, the meat in the crab legs, shrimp and lobster were cooked to perfection, the sausage was juicy and full of flavor, same with the corn and the potatoes! Over all a great experience for a seafood boil and will definitely be going again! Not to mention our server was the sweetest lady we've ever delt with when it comes to dinning in!”
“Good food! Okay service but the placement of the restaurant and the higher the population of Alexandria gets, unfortunately the worse the parking and drive-thru will be.Parking: Not enough spots, Sometimes you may have to park next door at the bank, or even possibly further down.”

“Food was amazing! We had the chicken kabob platter and falafel platter, everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious! Chicken was so tender and juicy. Loved the hummus ! Can’t wait to try the other dishes!”
“Super friendly people and a great product. The blackberry cobbler was very good. It wasn't so sugary that it overpowered the tartness of the blackberries. Too often cobblers have to much sugar. Paired well with the vanilla ice cream. Wonderfully unique place.”
“Everything was good! The Catfish and crawfish tails were fried to perfection. We also got the Crawfish queso...best queso I ever had! The homemade sausage with pineapple is unique and good as well!
