“One of our all time favorites!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Nearly perfect Wisconsin style frozen custard.“

“I absolutely love this place! The pastries are always a 10/10, and the service is even better. Lucy always greets me and my family with such kindness and makes us feel so welcome every time we visit. Her friendly attitude and excellent customer service keep us coming back. This place doesn’t deserve just 5 stars—it deserves 10 stars!“

“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!“

“Take out, only.

Fast, accurate, friendly service - excellent beverage selection. Great value for price, generous portions. Delicious!

Omar's is excellent. This place is going to have cars lined up and lines out the door when word gets out.“

“Now… let me explain…. There was no AC, and the manager Xavier seemed very ancy and unfortunately wasn’t very welcoming. BUT, Maekenzie made the expirence sooo much better. Her welcoming presence took the attention away from the heat and lit up the empty room. I asked about the lavender lemonade and she had mentioned she made it-so I tried it. FYI IT WAS AMAZING the lavender taste wasn’t to strong and made the drink verrryy unique. I tried the fries, fried chicken which was fried to perfection and tasty!!!I enjoyed the salmon Alfredo also. Everything was cooked very well and balanced.“

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

“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.“

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

“I can’t believe Cheesetique isn’t talked about more—it’s honestly one of the most unique brunch spots in the DMV! From the moment you walk in, you get a cozy restaurant vibe with a boutique retail shop attached. We tried: 🧀 Bloomy Bliss Grilled Cheese 🍒 Cherry Cloud Cheesecake 🍞 Challah French Toast 🥖 ‘Tique Cheesesteak 🥃 Oink Old Fashioned 🍹 Cherry Blue Mocktail Everything was delicious and full of flavor, but the cherry grilled cheese and cherry cloud cheesecake were standout favorites for me. I also had so much fun browsing the retail shop—I even went home and started looking up recipes for duck eggs 😂 The staff was welcoming and the 10% off retail for diners is a great bonus.“

“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!!!“

“Great find! Good music and great food!“

“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“

“One of the best ice cream shops I’ve been to in a long time, I was pleasantly surprised to find homemade custard. The root beer was delightful in my root beer float and you can definitely taste the honey flavors the root beer was made with. The vanilla custard was refreshing and fantastic. I got there 30 minutes prior to closing and the place had a line out the door. It was a fast line and worth the short wait time. I understand now why it was so popular and I look forward to trying more from the menu in the future. They had a lot of great options and accommodations for almost anyone such as sorbet. Really cute area and if you go across the street and down a little there’s more seating to sit and eat your delicious treat outside. There’s also a cute little garden spot directly across the street too with a few seats and a spot for a treat for your dog in the mail box. I would 100% recommend this spot but expect it to be busy.“

“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!“

“Really enjoyed, simple, delicious, good variety. Pleasant service! We live about 2 hours away and were in the area, had never been there before and wanted to try it. Breakfast meanu and lunch menu available at the same time of day!!! We really enjoyed it.“

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

“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.“

“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 don’t leave reviews often. The place has to be either horrible or really good. I’ve eaten at plenty of Indian restaurants across the U.S. and if you want authentic cuisine, you must eat here.

I ordered the butter chicken curry with rice and garlic naan. That’s always my first order when I try a new Indian restaurant. The sauce alone could carry the meal. This is by far the best Indian food I’ve ever had. My first visit, and definitely not my last.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Delicious! Interesting flavors and so good.“

“Best fried chicken in the DMV, hands down. Good food at a good price. It’s literally a hole in the wall but who cares, they do what they do and keep the prices low as a result.

SO GLAD something in town hasn’t changed from the old days!“

“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.“

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

“Hands down best Thai in Alexandria! Have never been disappointed here, every dish is delicious & with fresh ingredients. I love the ambience: clean, beautiful attention to details, modern vibe but also warm & cozy. Favorite spot for date nights & family gatherings.“

“Juan Ramirez and his team, including our server Kevin, made my dad's 80th birthday celebration our best yet! With my dad's birthday falling on Valentine's, I reached out to Bastille months in advance to accommodate our large party - and they were happy to coordinate with me, and made sure our space was accessibility-friendly. We've eaten at Bastille many times, and this meal was extraordinary (cheers chef!)! We all left the table satiated in body and soul. Thanks for a memorable event for our entire family, Juan! We look forward to the next one.“

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

“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!“

“Loved it!!!!... Nice and Cozy“

“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.“
