“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!“

“One of our all time favorites!“

“This was a fabulous find. Being the Southern inspired menu, we opted for the fried green tomato appetizer, panko breaded deviled eggs were an unexpected and unusual offering that was phenomenally delicious. We also enjoyed their cajun pasta to round out the meal. We had courteous service from staff that were friendly, responsive and informative and efficient and fun. Very reasonable priced for quality and quantity of food. Highly recommend.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I really enjoy when Lucy is there. She consistently maintains a positive attitude that enhances the restaurant environment.

“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 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!“

“Great find! Good music and great food!“

“I drove by and saw a line so I looked it up and saw a 4.9 rating. The truth is this is a 5.0 and it didn’t disappoint. I had a jerk plate and a lamb pita. It was sooooooooooooooo good. I will definitely be back. I didn’t take a picture of the food because i ate it right away lol. The portion for the platter was so big my husband and I each ate some and then we shared the pita lamb. I ordered on line and it was so fast. Walked in and it was very clean. The team was friendly and I got my food right away.“

“Was lucky to be in Barcroft Plaza today, and stopped to eat for the first time at HoneyGrow! An employee explained their menu and options, very helpful. I ordered the Greek salad with banana honey bowl- the food was very fresh and delicious! They even have a nice patio area out front. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“Our organization had an after Capital Hill dinner at the Milk & Honey Restaurant last night and the Atmosphere, Food, and Staff were all exceptional. They had a DJ playing music and everyone was up dancing and had a great time.

I highly recommend the staff, food, and the restaurant, for your next visit, party or organizational event to be held here.“

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

“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 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!“

“The people working there are so pleasant and kind. The food is delicious and plentiful portions. I had leftovers. The best Indian food I've ever had. Everything was fresh. The music they played was Indian and I really enjoyed it. Would definitely return. My only request would be if they served Coke Zero, but definitely not a big deal that they don't. I had the spinach and onion fritters and they were so good and the garlic Naan is too. My daughter had the chicken vindaloo and her boyfriend had the butter chicken. I had Kadhai with vegetables and paneer. Wonderful!“

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

“Hometown Hitter! This place has been around since before I was born. However since I am new to the chicken on the bone crew and have entered the group chat let me let y'all know about this Alexandria City staple! First of all 530-230 Monday-Friday DASSIT. Don't try to go on Saturday or Sunday, you've been warned. Now...you must get a chicken breast sandwich, whatever way they suggest it to you, get it! (Hot sauce white bread etc) Now my hometown hitter has some new stuff on the menu that I have not tried personally but my friends/family have let us know on social media that the new dishes are a hit. We're talking about shrimp/grits to chicken/waffles. Check em out you won't be disappointed!

PS if you are ever driving around a neighborhood and a food spot has all the delivery folks...FedEx, UPS, City workers, construction workers etc that is a spot you want to try. Most of the lil small mom/pop spots are where it's at as far as good food. Just look for the blue collar workers who pull up to grab breakfast/lunch!

Wait was less than 5 minutes and this is a grab and go spot so no table! Check out the menu online. I am proud of them for branching outside of their comfort zone!

Also, growing up I got the Hamburger steak with cheese sandwich, pork chop, bean soup, bologna/egg/cheese or the good old scrapple/egg/cheese!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Loved it!!!!... Nice and Cozy“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
