“Borrowing from their words. More than 30 years later, the Silver Diner has gone from a nostalgic American icon serving affordable family food to a highly overrated restaurant serving overpriced food that allegedly reflect’s today’s lifestyles. But the one thing that will never change is the stench of their restrooms throughout the diner.“

“My husband had my surprise 50th here. The entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate and make this night memorable. The owner did everything he could to make everyone have a great experience. The food was outstanding! By far the best Mexican food around!“

“Definitely try the bison burger. If you’re ok with meat that melts in your mouth.“

“Truly a hiddent jewel south of Old Town Alexandria. If I had been blindfolded and didn't know that I entered the establishment via the parking lot of Belle View Shopping Center I would have thought I was in an upscaled restaurant in downtown DC. This has become our favorite date night spot. Delicious food options and creative cocktails along with exceptional service (Brett) made our evening one to remember. I love a well made Old Fashioned and I wasn't disappointed. The secret ingredient of the quarter branch apple brandy took it to next level. We are looking forward to our next date night already!“

“Great brunch, cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff!“

“Love their gluten free pizza and sandwich selection. Makes dining out so much easier, especially when others in your group aren’t gf!“

“Paris Baguette was extremely accommodating with my last-minute request for a full tiramisu cake, even adding “Happy Birthday Mom” as a message on the side. I’m beyond grateful for how convenient and easy they made everything, especially on such short notice. The tiramisu was absolutely delicious and a huge hit! I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“great bartenders great staff service drinks music food!!“

“Blue and White is Alexandria,VA (Old Town) staple. It a small carryout style establishment. They service all types of breakfast and lunch. Please check their menu to confirm that this is your style of food preference. No vegetarian options. If you are looking for a quick, tasty option, check it out.

Tip: Type in Blue and white carry out and you will get plenty of content of what the building looks like and types of food they serve there.

Enjoy!“

“The food was fantastic, service was also fantastic. Would recommend this great place to anyone! Thank you, and you will be seeing me again!“

“We shared the roast beef sandwich and home fries. It was delicious!“

“My mom and I had an amazing time at Milk & Honey. We ordered the honey biscuits, collared greens, and banana pudding for dessert - so yummy! I would reccomend all of those dishes. Our server Kenzie was amazing! She was so accommodating and made us feel at home. She really made our experience special.
My mom & I are definitely coming back again. Also thank you so much to Xavier who served us our first time here! (this was our second visit)“

“We stopped at Jack’s Place in Old Town for breakfast and absolutely loved it! The breakfast was great, the service was friendly, and then they really won me over. I asked if they could make me a spicy chicken sub to take with me for later—and OMG. Best sub ever. Seriously. It was spicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.

I love a place that does the classics well but is also willing to make you something a little different. Great breakfast, awesome people, and apparently they make a killer spicy chicken sub too. 😂

We’ll definitely be back!“

“Try the extra crispy tater tots!“

“Love the Springfield location. It’s cozy and the crepes are to die for, so are the fresh cookies. You cannot go wrong with any choice off of the menu.“

“Delicious spicy beef noodle soup“

“Nearly perfect Wisconsin style frozen custard.“

“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 spice blends here do not play around. The Jerk Chicken platter is an absolute standout—juicy, smoky, and packed with serious heat that meshes surprisingly well with classic Mediterranean white and red sauces. Even the simple yellow basmati rice is loaded with flavor.
Portions are Enormous. The platters come heaped with rice, a massive pile of protein, and a crisp Mediterranean salad blend. Order a side of warm pita, and you easily have two full meals packed into one tray.
Lightning-fast output whether you're grabbing a late-night bite or ordering takeout delivery. The food stays burning hot in the container, and the sauces come generously on the side so nothing gets soggy.
Straightforward, high-turnover casual spot. It’s clean and efficient, but heavily geared toward quick pick-ups and delivery rather than an extended sit-down experience.

A total hidden gem in Alexandria. Get the Mixed Chicken & Lamb or the Jerk Chicken Platter, ask for extra white sauce, and try the avocado fries if you want a killer side.“

“Best sugar free cider we had! Lots to choose from and we had a good flight chosen!“

“The food here is so well done! We got the chicken biryani and the butter chicken, wow oh wow!! So much flavor in every bite and my fiance and I were just super impressed!! Even eating the leftovers were delicious and made me crave more

Small thing we did pay $3.50 for garlic naan and were only given one piece, a little much for one piece“

“Great crepes and quiches, excellent coffee, friendly staff, indoor and outdoor dining!“

“The service and food were absolutely wonderful! First time visiting but definitely not the last! The salmon avocado toast was a smash! It was so pretty I almost didn’t want to eat it but I did of course!“

“The Addis Teff is delicious. Good flavor and pairs well with food. Was really good with the smoked sweet swiss cheese from the Fresh Mkt. I first tried one in a choose your own 6 pack and was hooked. The lager was good, but this is my favorite. I tried it because I'd never heard of beer made from Teff, and I like trying new things. I wish Fresh Mkt had the honey one as well. I have bought the Addis Teff a few times now. Someday I want to visit the brewery!“

“I don’t typically take the time to write reviews, but that was the best ribeye I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Highly recommend the surf and turf. Put Fort Worth to shame 10/10“

“Great find! Good music and great food!“

“The young lady serving us was very helpful and knew all she needed to serve us quickly and professionally. The gelato was exceptional!!“

“I saw the street sign and gave them a try. I got a Crispy Chicken Sandwich with 5pcs Hot BBQ wings. The sandwich loaded with delicious crispy chicken. I loved it. Wings were fresh and taste was very good. Their prices are cheaper than other places in Alexandria. I will be back again.“

“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.“

“I love everything about this place! Been coming here for a couple of years now and they know me and added me by name and always know exactly what I like. OG ACAI BOWL for the win!! They fix it perfectly every time!“

“We're visiting and I found the best coffee and hot chocolate for my kids! delicious!“

“What a great little coffee/tea shop. Wonderful Baristas and a cute atmosphere. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Being Italian, I'm very picky about my pizza. I have to say Stracci Pizza is our absolute favorite. Whether eating there or a carry out, it is simply the best.“

“Aslin is such a great spot! I’ve been here and to their other locations in DC and Herndon several times and have always had a great experience.

I recently had the opportunity to host an event here, and the team was fantastic to work with. Christian was awesome to coordinate with prior to the event, and on the day of Taylor, Sage, and Chad were incredibly helpful/accommodating! We already have our next event booked :) Everyone was incredibly welcoming, easy to coordinate with, and made the whole experience feel seamless.

Whether you’re stopping in for a drink, grabbing a bite with friends, or looking for a great place to host an event, Aslin is definitely worth checking out!“

“Pet friendly! Great bier! Staff is always most awesome!“

“The last 2 years at Murphy’s on New Year’s Eve were really great. We were surprised at how delicious our meals were, steak so tender you cut cut it with a fork. Pohemia is such a fun and friendly band. The perfect place for NYE.“

“First time back since renovations and wow what a story this place is. It started with the chicken & waffles. The meat was really pink and hard to bite into so I decided to do french toast instead. (Minus the almond cookies.) and it was delicious but it was soft as butter so I had to request a spoon 😮 On top of that, the bartender complimented not only my neurodivergent tattoos 🏳️‍🌈♾️ but also gave me a free mocktail. Though I will warn you it’s real strong. I tasted mostly lemon but it had a hint of maple and tea. Which is ironic because strong taste is why I prefer tea over coffee (if I had to pick between the two). Regardless, these people deserve some love especially in the economic crises we have.“
