“Thank you, Texas Jack's for accommodating me on Thanksgiving when my Metroaccess ride dropped me off before my reservation. Food and service (by Calvin) was excellent!“

“Great Local Pub!
Courthouse Social is an awesome spot to hang out. Great vibe, friendly staff, and solid pub food. The outdoor seating is perfect for chilling with friends over a drink. Definitely one of my favorite local places—highly recommend it!“

“Fantastic pizza, very convenient, and good people too! Couldn't recommend it more.“

“WOW! I live in DC and have tried basically every Thai place in DC but rarely make it to VA. Thai is some of my favorite food. My main complaint with most DC places is that the food is NOT spicy enough. Not the case here! I got the drunken noodles tonight and hands down they were the spiciest best I've had in the area! Love this place! New favorite Thai spot in the DMV! I'll be back and VERY SOON! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAI FOOD SPICY AS IT SHOULD BE!“

“Was hankering for some tacos one afternoon and was driving through North Arlington and remembered district taco right on Lee Highway. I stopped in and I had a couple à la carte tacos and being a vegetarian it was exciting to see they had a plant-based meat substitute on their menu. so I ordered two Itza tacos prepared the way I like them on corn tortillas and I have to say they were some of the best tacos I have ever had, bar, none. Just for reference, I eat a lot of tacos so I would know a great taco, and those were spectacular. Thank you district taco for offering a vegetarian option and for preparing such an amazing taco. I will be back. ☮️“

“**Also try their burger!** Taco Bamba in all locations but especially in Ballston is always bumping good beats and Taco Bamba in general literally has the best tacos in the DMV.

Not to mention….if you have not tried their burger, it’s a must! I don’t want to say it but it might also be one of the best burgers in the DMV, the flavors hit in every bite.“

“Wow. One of the best Thai restaurant I had in awhile. Noting about the menu is Americanize and true Thia taste . Being that I am half Laos I love the laos papaya salad here because a lot of thai Resturant try to do laos papaya salad and it just don’t taste the same . The chef is actually laos . The Resturant is calm and soothing atmosphere , good for intimate dinner or family gatherings.“

“Visiting from ohio. One server handled the whole place. She was great! Awesome teamwork, food came out hot and fast. Great little place!“

“Epic SmokeHouse – Arlington, VA Overall Rating: 8/10 Parking lot upgrades at the Pentagon brought G-FORCE to Arlington, but we didn’t expect to stumble upon BBQ royalty just a mile down the road at Epic SmokeHouse. Let’s just say… the name fits. We kicked things off with the App Sampler—and every bite hit like a flavor freight train. Smoked wings so tender they felt like they’d just left the hog pen—crispy skin, juicy interior, absolute perfection. Burnt ends? Melt-in-your-mouth with just enough sauce to whisper "I’m fancy" without screaming it. And the Kalua Pig Rolls… I still don’t know what’s in them, but I want to shake the chef’s hand (or hug him). Then came the showstopper: Brisket Poutine. Hand-cut fries crisped to golden excellence, smothered in rich brown butter gravy, melty cheese curds, and that sweet smoky brisket—topped with green onions and sesame seeds for that crunch-and-pop finale. This dish is dangerous… the kind of comfort food that makes you forget what day it is. The House Secret Burnt Mac rolled in hot in a mini skillet—smoky, cheesy, and just saucy enough to coat every bite without drowning it. Balanced, bold, and addicting. Don’t sleep on the Collard Greens either—just the right amount of flavor, a lil’ bit of spice but not too bold. A solid side that holds its own. Final Verdict: If you’re in Arlington for business, BBQ, or just breathing—get to Epic SmokeHouse. And if you're lucky, G-FORCE might’ve just made the parking lot a little smoother on your way in. #PaintAndPlateCrew #SupportLocal #EpicEats #BBQNearThePentagon #HIREAVET #GFORCEApproved #8OutOf10 #WINWITHVSB #PAINTCORPS“

“We ordered a large catered dinner from Ruffino’s this weekend and couldn’t be happier with the food and service. They helped us determine what quantities were needed, worked with me over phone and text to finalize details and make last-minute adjustments, and delivered piping hot food exactly when requested. Food was delicious and we’ll definitely use them again.“

“Timber has fantastic pizza and great people! I end up there for lunch almost every Friday.“

“Really great food - it really is trying to emulate a Mexico City taco shop. The menu is relatively simple but the tacos are solid, and the prices are fine. Definitely recommend for a nice casual lunch with friends if you are craving some good Mexican food in Crystal City! The location is great too and service was quick and great.“

“We had a wonderful experience dining here! Our server checked on us regularly to make sure everything was going well. There was a slight delay with one of our drinks, but they handled it so graciously — they apologized and comped it without us even asking.

The food was fantastic. We ordered the steak and chicken fajitas, and the steak was cooked perfectly to a medium rare — tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Everything arrived quickly, and the server provided extras as requested.

The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed. It’s a great spot for family celebrations. There’s also a cute outdoor patio with plenty of seating — perfect for a casual hangout or date night.

And don’t skip the spicy margaritas — they’re strong, flavorful, and have just the right kick. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the overall vibe.“

“The food and service are consistently good. They never fail. Love FSG.“

“Great service @ DC the seafood appetizer was delicious!“

“One of my favorite places to go. The food is very solid and service/atmosphere can't be beat. Prices don't feel like I'm being ripped off either like much of DC has gotten to. Management is super friendly and great to work with. Always look forward to spending time here with my friends!“

“Great place to hangout with friends“

“It took me 8 years to find a great Chinese restaurant and this is it! I order from here almost weekly now. The best part about the food is you can select the spicy level of many of the dishes, and I love it spicy! I’m talking REAL spicy - not weak American-standard spicy, and they deliver. Fire in my mouth, runny nose, and tears spicy. I love it!“

“First time in Arlington, all the way from Annapolis and it was such and amazing vibe, our waitress kelsy was 5 stars took very seriously my GF allergy and was making sure with the kitchen, very knowledgeable of the Menu and she was very Nice. Will definitely go back for Food and hospitality.“

“Awesome spot!! Food was very good! We got the brussel sprouts, Mac & Cheese with bacon, tots, Reuben and the Jalapeño burger. I wish the Mac & Cheese had that cheesy gooey ness to it but that’s a personal preference. It was still super good and we ate the whole thing.
The beer list was extensive! I stuck to their Sour selection and dang they were all so good! My friend had a few different drinks but the one that stuck out was the Peach Cider. It tasted like you legit just bit into a Peach!
The whole staff were welcoming and friendly. The bartender, Joe, (I hope I remembered his name correctly) was great!“

“Great place for sushi at the airport. The service is quick and efficient. For a starter, I had the crab wontons which were delicious and had more filling than others I’ve had. For my main, I choose the Chesapeake roll, the crab and cream cheese were excellent. Good drink selection and don’t forget to get some Sake.“

“Delta terminal B. If you have some time before your flight be sure to grab a bite here. The food was great and the service was amazing. Phillip T was attentive but not pushy. He was available when needed and didn’t hesitate to smile or offer a suggestion.“

“Always delicious traditional Egyptian fare. My Egyptian husband makes me drive two hours just to eat here. Although the food is delicious and healthy, my fav thing is the mint lemonade which they make by hand.“

“In recent years there seems to be a proliferation of small-plate Mediterranean restaurants. But Yayla remains as one of the best, reasonably priced originals in northern Virginia. There is a pleasing range of mezzes, salads, entrees hot and cold, flat breads, spreads, etc . I had a Yayla mule, 3 spreads, lemony rice soup and superb shrimp. Friends chose a range of other dishes. I can guarantee whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed. Everything is flavorful, fresh and beautifully presented. Wait staff and servers are friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and not obtrusive. Don’t miss the nice selection of creative cocktails, wine variety and desserts. Continued success and best wishes for this popular bistro!“

“Sat at the sushi bar, so had dinner and a show. The show was good, the dinner was great. Yume is in an interesting space, open with lots of windows, a high ceiling, and very high energy, read LOUD. This is not your sedate, high-end, reverent sushi restaurant, but a vibrant lively place, which doesn't mean the sushi is in any way inferior. Even at the sushi bar the ordering is through a waitress/waiter not directly with the sushi chefs. That was a slight disappointment, having no interaction with the chefs, but perhaps to be expected with the size of the crowd that was there on Friday night. We ordered in stages because, this being the first time, we did not know how much would be enough. In the end what we ordered was just right. The service was paced just right, never rushed but available when needed. The baby octopus salad was bright and citrusy, and slightly chewy, in a good way. The simple nigiri in the Sushi Dinner, 10 pieces, were very fresh and tasty. The special nigiri we had, Otoro, was imaginative and excellent - wasabi and truffle make a great pairing and the bit of caviar was just the right touch. The Yume roll was top flight, spicy but, to coin a phrase, not too spicy, and the fish did shine through. We will definitely be going back.“

“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card. They gave him the most delicious donuts and Lizz made really excellent dish recommendations. We will return for sure!!“
