Family Restaurants near Arlington, VA

“Tried Ruthie's for the 1st time yesterday. I'd read many good reviews (understandably) but had never tried it. What a great find! It is light and airy. The service is friendly and efficient. The menu is interesting with a good variety. My salad was delicious and so large that I took half of it home for another meal as I saw others doing as well. My husband's barbeque was equally delicious. We will definitely be repeat customers!“

“Ordered an impossible burger and veggie chili.The impossible burger was a expected... good. The chili was really good though. It was sweet and slightly spicy. Also had some veggie meat on it as well.Service was meh and the vibe was old school diner.“

“This hidden gem offers a delightful fusion of flavors that's as vibrant and colorful as a Mexican mural. This family-owned operation not only wins your heart with its super friendly staff but also caters to a symphony of dietary preferences, making it a haven for vegetarians, vegans, and those seeking halal options. The casual atmosphere, a playful blend of Mexican zest and Greek finesse, sets the stage for a dining experience that's both laid-back and lip-smackingly good.Diving into the menu is like embarking on a culinary world tour, starting in Mexico with the Vegan taco, a masterclass in flavor that proves you don't need meat to create a masterpiece. It's a plant-based delight that showcases the kitchen's knack for transforming simple ingredients into something extraordinary.The Mexican Pizza, a Wild Tacoz signature, is a flavor bomb. Imagine a 12" pizza that shuns the traditional crust for a double cheese-filled tortilla, creating a base that's as innovative as it is delicious. Topped with a protein of your choice and adorned with a medley of toppings including mild or spicy salsa, a three-cheese mix, tomatoes, onions, black beans, romaine, cilantro, and corn crumbs, it's a dish that dances on the line between genius and madness, landing squarely on the side of genius.Then, we set sail for Greece with the Gyro Burrito, a culinary hybrid that's as bold as it is delicious. Packed with rice, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta, and tzatziki, it's a wrap that wraps you in warmth and comfort, proving that when Mexico meets Greece, the result is nothing short of spectacular.Wild Tacoz is not just a restaurant; it's a testament to the power of family, fusion, and the universal language of delicious food. With every dish made to order, freshness is the name of the game, ensuring that each visit is as delightful as the last. In a world where fusion can sometimes mean confusion, Wild Tacoz stands out as a beacon of culinary creativity, blending Mexican flair and Greek elegance into a dining experience that's sure to leave you wild with joy.“

“A great neighborhood spot with plenty of free parking. Service is great and patrons are friendly. I don't live in the area anymore but fellow diners give a head nod like they're glad to see you again. It's a bit crowded Sunday afternoons. It's not a problem for couples, but large groups will have to wait a while.I had the curried chicken. The greens were so good that I forgot what the rest of the food tasted like. A number of people told me the drinks are good so I'll try one on my next visit.“

“What a friendly, comfy place to have breakfast! The cheese blintzes were wonderful, the coffee was rich but not too strong and frequently refilled, and the service was friendly, prompt, and efficient. Oh, did I mention the delicious cheese blintzes??? Great way to start the day!“

“Came by Dionne's before attending a Mystics game and it's the best decision I ever made! Don't walk there run there. Like right now. So good! And the Sycamore & Oak is just so cool - you have to go check it out.EnvironmentThis establishment is located in the Sycamore & Oak community space which is beautiful within itself. If you're not interested in food just go check out the space for all it has to offer - from clothing, to events like karaoke and speaking engagements or just to hang out with friends or even to get some work done - a great beautiful space. Dionne's is located in what i would call the 'food hall' They have a small stand where you order your food and then you can sit where ever you would like through out the space. There is also a large long bar where you can sit and eat and drink at as well. It's perfect for a pregame meal or just for a good time and a good meal.ServiceThe service was great. It's a family and black owned business (love it) and they were warm and welcoming. My friend and I stepped away to check out other stores in the space and while we were exploring they came and brought us our drinks which was extremely nice of them. It was great.Food and DrinksThe food was everything! We had the crab friends and salmon bites. Everything was delicious. I will definitely come back to try....everything. Yes everything. lol. I loved every bite and highly recommend.OverallOverall I loved all of the food and enjoyed the space. It was warm, welcoming and comfortable and the food was delicious and drinks were good and strong. I loved everything about this visit and will surely be back for more. Make sure you check them out!“

“I had the gyro sandwich with the sweet potato fries and it was good. Nothing to write home about but I don't have any major complaints. Unfortunately I was not impressed with the service. Our server was not very attentive and barely stopped by our table to ask if we needed anything. The place was not that crowded so I don't think being busy was the reason. The bill was also very high for what we got.“

“After dinner in Mosaic District, my I Do Crew went to Ted's Bulletin for drinks and dessert. Our party occupied 5 seats at the bar. Our bartender Omar S. was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and made delicious drinks. My friends enjoyed the Cherry Old Fashioned, The Back Nine, Garden Party, and Peachy Keen. I enjoyed two gin-based cocktails: Botanical Garden and Violet Queen cocktails. Both cocktails were floral and quite strong. We shared the Cherry Blossom Tres Leches, which was not as pictured on the website but tasted delicious. We couldn't finish it, so I took it home. Before we left, another girl bought us a round of Green Tea shot to celebrate my bachelorette. I liked how the Green Tea shot was made with Jameson Whiskey, Peach Schnapps, Lime Juice, and Simple Syrup!“
