“I love everything that Omar’s have to offer! I usually order online to pick up and it’s always ready on time or earlier. The platters are filled with delicious flavors. My favorite is the lamb platter and add chickpeas or corn. Pickled turnip is also great. Omar signature sauce + white sauce combo is so good I can take a bath in it!!! (JKJK) The employees are always helpful, working hard to get that fresh food out. This is our weekly dinner spot and I am lucky that they are right down the street from my house!“

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

“Sitting in an alleyway, I can’t believe I didn’t try this place sooner. That was a good bacon bagel!“

“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.“

“Excellent customer service, breathtaking view of the Potomac River. Extensive variety on the menu. I highly recommend all items on the menu, and prompt turnaround time after placing an order.“

“We enjoyed the chicken curry, the paneer tikka masala, the non-veg thali, garlic naan, chai tea, mint mojito, galub jamun and kheer. We were visiting DC, and the food was so good we came in a second night. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff and owner very professional and personable. Highly recommend.“

“I had the absolute pleasure of doing a tasting at Negus a few weeks ago. The owners and family are so warm and inviting. They genuinely care for their customers and community, welcoming you back as friends.

The wine is excellent and has become a fan favorite in my household. 100% recommend!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Nearly perfect Wisconsin style frozen custard.“

“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.“

“This place is awesome. Never disappointed when we go there. Their food is delicious.“

“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 were seating next to a window - which was closed. However, very cold air got thru that window and made the whole experience very uncomfortable for two of my friends. My seat was against a wall, and I was OK. The food was very good and Andres service was excellent, as usual.“

“I visited Jake’s Place for breakfast in Old Town Alexandria this past Sunday, and I have to say, every meal was absolutely delicious! From the moment I walked in, the cozy atmosphere made me feel right at home. But I need to wait for a table. Totally worth it! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, truly a breakfast lover’s dream. I can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious spicy beef noodle soup“

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

“#blueandwhitecarryout an Alexandria staple patronized by the locals and visitors alike. A tiny venue but very welcoming and gave a feeling of belonging! One employee in particular by the name of Charlie was quite popular as longtime customers piled in to say hello or catch up while he prepared an array of food items to include the fried foods. Mimi wanted to try the fried chicken breast (she loves chicken) and initially I was told there was a 15 minute wait, a customer ahead of me stated it’s definitely worth the wait as he smiled. So having a free day off, I waited and I am so glad that I did! The chicken breast also has the wing attached and it’s placed piping hot between two slices of “cheap white sliced bread”. I was asked how I would like it so I responded as many others before me did: salt, pepper and hot sauce? When I say that was the most perfectly seasoned, fried and juiciest chicken breast I have ever had (5/5). They are a food stand opened early and closes early only M-F! I cannot wait to go back and try more delicacies and if you’re in the@area do yourself a favor and go! #alexandriava #carryout goodfood“

“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.“

“Great find! Good music and great food!“

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

“We are from Ohio visiting the area and Tim was GREAT! Very personable and gave us some great tips! Food was great too!“

“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.“

“Café du Soleil offers a warm welcome and delicious basic French quiches, sandwiches, salads, pastries, and sweet/savory crepes in a relaxed atmosphere. The coffee is excellent and the wine selection offers something for every palate. Definitely worth a visit.“

“I visited the restaurant last week and I really enjoyed it. It was a lovely experience; the food was on time and hot. Above all, Eleticia service was very welcoming. She has great charisma and a smile when serving customers, and I noticed it wasn't just me. The most impressive thing was that when I was leaving, she came to open the door for me. Excellent service and food.“

“Always like coming here if I have a doctors appointment next store. Great variety of baked items like cake and donuts. I went there today and Ella took care of me. Very down to earth and friendly! Would come back again! Very good service and bakery!“

“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“

“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!“

“LOVE this little shop!! The drinks are SO delicious! Will definitely be a place we will be visiting again! The atmosphere is calming and the girls working were so sweet. Very cute and chic!“

“I’ve been visiting this place for the past few times. It’s not a full-fledged restaurant, but it’s an excellent spot to sit down and enjoy your food. The service is outstanding, and it’s a must-visit place if you love spicy food. 🌶️“

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

“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.“

“If you’re looking for a sweet treat that’s guaranteed to impress, Nothing Bundt Cakes is a must. Their cakes are always incredibly moist, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. Whether it’s a celebration or just a craving, there’s something special about the combination of that signature cream cheese frosting and the perfectly baked bundt cake. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the store has such a warm, welcoming vibe. I can’t recommend it enough—every bite is happiness!“

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

“So refreshing and delicious!“

“Updated review: I've been here a few dozen times over the last decade, they've officially lost their essence. They're now pretty darn expensive. It's too bad. They used to be known for great custard and baked goods at reasonable prices, but it looks like they're now going with maximum extraction. So it goes.

Old review: Fair prices and excellent frozen custard concoctions; this place sits in a part of the DC area that you would swear was a world away - i.e. in a wholesome town in middle America. It's an institution worth the trip and likely line... Out the door.

Always feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @joerazz“

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

“I love coming, the staff is very kind and friendly. I have been to other restaurants that serve seafood and in my opinion this is the place to go. I always come for the turbulence and supreme tuna are my favorite. The Philly and bagel roll are both great options as well!“

“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!“

“Excellent meal. You’ll pay DC prices. $18-25. The food was so tasty. I got the chicken red curry and my buddy got the pad se ew. The chicken in the pad se ew has a bit of a smoky flavor to it. The red curry was nice and spicy. A perfect level for someone who likes spice. Everything was just so flavorful. It will be hard/fun to choose next time between reordering these meals or trying more off the menu.“
