New American Restaurants near Burke, VA

“I have only been here a few times and Josh the Bartender remembers my name each time!!! GREAT BARTENDER!!!“

“I tried their food for the first time yesterday, based on a recommendation of a new employee at my place of work. I was absolutely shocked by how delicious the sandwich was. The chicken was crispy and juicy and the rooster sauce was dynamite! After lunch, I recommended it to another coworker who then also ordered it for lunch and tried it for the first time. She said she had the same experience I had- life changing! If you’re looking for a chicken sandwich, this is the place to go!“

“Great food! Discovered this hidden gem a few months ago and now it’s one of our faves. Great variety of pizzas!! My youngest loves their naked wings! Thai chicken salad is awesome! Try their spicy honey garlic fries! Addicting!! Calzones are great and filling!!! Prices are very reasonable! Keep it up!!“

“This is our friend group's go-to place for birthdays. We just celebrated for a fourth time this year. We love our server, Erica, as well as the food and ambience. Seasons 52 always sets up a little chalkboard "Happy Birthday" sign that makes the birthday boy or girl feel special. We'll be back next month!“

“This place is a true local gem. Food is of very high quality, and everything is consistently cooked to perfection. Their consistency is actually really impressive - I’ve never been disappointed by a single thing, and I’ve eaten A LOT of their food. But everything is so good, so I haven’t really made my way outside of the same few items from their menu. The difference is that the staff actually care about their customers, and take pride in their food. It’s not so common these days, and is a pleasant surprise. It’s the reason I will always eat there.“

“Mya is such an amazing bartender at Yard House! She’s super attentive, friendly, and always makes sure everyone feels welcome. Her drinks are not only delicious but also made with care and consistency. Whether it’s a busy night or a casual evening, she brings great energy and professionalism every time. Definitely recommend sitting at her bar if you get the chance!”“

“Booked the private dining area for a post-wedding celebration. The experience far exceeded expectations. Impeccable service. Wonderful ambiance. Heavenly food. Great food and beverage pairings. Highly recommended for a perfect evening.“

“Very excellent customer service and food was amazing.“

“Carlos is the very best! He is a great server and took care of us. My daughter's birthday was awesome because of him! Kudos to this location which also takes GREAT care of its Beer Club members! We'll be back soon!“

“Very satisfied on my first visit to Ellie Bird. We came for Brunch for my wife’s birthday. The staff were all very attentive and many wished her a happy birthday as they welcomed us in, which often gets overlooked at other restaurants, but it made her morning feel so much more special. It may seem like a small notion, but it was a touching detail to our initial visit. The brunch menu is small but packed with flavors and meaningful dishes. We love this and wish we could try it all. We decided to start with the PB&J French toast as a shared app. It’s an entree item, but upon hearing how much the owner loves this item we had to try it out. We also ordered the Pineapple Bun sliders and Tornado omelette. For us the trio of entrees was the perfect blend of savory, sweet, and salty, hitting all the right notes. Also highly recommend the Ellie Bird Latte. Glad we came, we will be back for more!“

“The bartenders are great and friendly enough given the size of the bar and restaurant as a whole. Prices are reasonable, and the drinks are tasty. Yard House is a nice relaxed spot to go solo for a nice dinner, fun and exciting enough to hit for HH, chill enough to bring your kids. Overall, it's a solid spot. Parking is a bit tight, but you can usually find a space during the week. Located in Springfield Mall.“

“Excellent customer service delicious food“

“Me, my mom & my 7 month old went to Earl’s for dinner last night. We were seated promptly, which was a wonderful surprise for a Friday evening. While we inquired about dining outside on the patio, the hostess was very honest about it being an option but warned us that, due to no fault of the restaurant, the red lantern flies had been a problem for some diners and we certainly appreciated the heads up!

William was our server and he was spectacular, from beginning to end. Despite it being a full restaurant & he was clearly busy, no request was forgotten and we didn’t wait long for anything!
William made good conversation, getting to know us, remembered all of our names, made wonderful recommendations, was honest about the menu options and how they’d align with our preferences and taste buds. He took notice & care of our food allergies/restricted diets & promptly brought out an order of mashed potatoes for the baby. He also made sure to acknowledge and bring out a small treat for my mom’s birthday. He made it a wonderful experience and I’m looking forward to my next visit already!

I cannot forget Jackie -who stopped by our table and was very funny, kind and welcoming!

Ordered items:
A Sauvignon blanc - 10/10
Rotating flavor mocktail - 8/10 (very heavy on the ice)
Vegan garden burger - 10/10
Cajun chicken and avocado salad - 9/10“

“Was super bz on a Sunday and service was okay but our waitress wasn’t all that great.“

“I had the privilege of experiencing the Chefs Tasting at 2941 Restaurant last night. The five-course tasting journey, paired with exquisite food and wine, along with beautiful surroundings and a vibrant atmosphere, turned the evening into a memorable adventure and culinary delight. If you seek to awaken your taste buds and embark on a magical journey, this extraordinary destination in the DMA area and North America awaits you.“

“The service was immaculate. Really warm and kind people who were efficient and smart. PK was our waiter and did a great job. He left us all with a smile on our face. Excellent.“

“Comfortable, friendly, good choices, efficient service, tasty food. Nice plating.“

“We enjoyed brunch here for our anniversary. I have several food allergies and I was well accommodated. The food was wonderful and the service friendly. We will be back“

“We celebrated seven months of dating and my partner hadn't been before. It's one of my favorite places. He loved the meal and the baguette with the dips. He enjoyed it so much. Great spot for dinner with friends and you r loved ones too.“

“The branzino was fresh and deliciously prepared. The accompanying bread was freshly baked. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The best restaurant in the DMV area! amazing halal food and 10/10 customer service! �“

“Amazing gluten free food. Delicious. I thought I would never have onion rings again“

“We came here on a Friday, and it wasn’t that busy yet our server cash was the most valuable part of our time here, she was so kind and helped us with all the questions we had. She made this one of my favorite dmv experiences and I will definitely be coming back and telling EVERYONE about this place“

“Great food, awesome service!!“

“Good food and great service from Yodi“

“ONE Bar&Grill is our number one restaurant choice in Old Town Fairfax. We have visited several times and EVERY meal has been amazing! Mina the owner, and Stephanie along with all the servers are first class people. Fairfax is fortunate to have such a top notch restaurant! We look forward to many future visits.“

“Food was awesome! Atmosphere was warm! Wait staff extremely attentive. We LOVE that it is farm to table, they have their own bee hives and grow their own herbs! Menu was unique and the octopus appetizer was SO crazy good!“

“Burtons is such a blessing for those with allergies! Staff are highly trained, and everything is labeled so carefully! Every server has been top notch and the food is amazing!“

“It’s been two years since I’ve been back here and I ordered the same lovely cranberry salad with warm goat cheese on top. The difference in two years was that the goat cheese was 1/4 of the original size. It made me sad. Servers were great. Outdoor location was wonderful. Food was just so so.“

“Anaya is a great waitperson! We really had a great time. she was helpful & has a great personality! Food was great too! Dessert was awesome.We had the bread pudding“

“Great music on a Friday night!“

“Our team enjoyed a business dinner at this seafood restaurant. Fresh dishes, excellent service, and a refined atmosphere.“

“First visit today for my birthday lunch and loved the vibe and the food!“

“This was a nice, friendly restaurant. Our waitress was so attentive, with a great personality, and the manager even assisted with grandchild's hurt ankle. The food was really good. The mild wings were my favorite for sure! Good place to watch games, have a date, or just go alone and grab lunch.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I have always had great experiences at Bear Branch Tavern, but today I had Ash and Maria as my server and bartender. They were fantastic. I could not recommend them enough. Every time I go back I am going to try and get Ash as my server. 10/10 experience, 10/10 food. Will definitely be back.“

“The food is great! I highly recommend“

“I don’t usually post reviews, but i had to for this place.

I ordered a Sausage and Cheese Omelette with sourdough toast. It’s one of the best omelettes i’ve had. And the price was so nice and affordable. Stuff like this in california would cost double and have less quality.

If work asks me to travel back for fairfax, i’ll definitetly swing by for other items on the menu. Thinking of getting the Katsu next…

One thing i forgot to ask is if they had Hot Chocolate.“

“I stopped in for a quick drink and ended up staying longer than planned, much thanks to the incredible service from the bartender, Adrienne. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel welcome with a genuine smile and easygoing conversation.

What stood out most was her pleasant demeanor—friendly without being overbearing, and always approachable. It’s clear she enjoys what she does, and that energy adds so much to the atmosphere. I was unsure of what to order and asked her to surprise me with a drink made with rum and she did not disappoint. Adrienne handled the bar effortlessly and I will be back!“

“Came in after getting a 20% off. Food was great. Kitchen was fast. Our server isn't a great fit for the job though. While they did the basics they were too quiet and somewhat inattentive. We would have ordered more drinks if only they had asked.“

“This is by far the best meal I’ve had in the DMV area!! The restaurant is a cute, intimate spot that makes you feel like you’re a guest at someone’s home. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Our meal was heavenly, I got the panko breaded chicken with angel hair (I typically order seafood out and this exceeded my expectations by a mile). My boyfriend got the strip steak which was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The green beans with it were even amazing! We didn’t have room, but we got the white chocolate apple bread pudding because it sounded too good…was as great as the rest of the meal! This will definitely be our new go to spot and it was extremely affordable! I couldn’t believe the menu prices and more so now that I know the amazing quality this spot offers!! Can’t wait to try brunch!“

“Our favorite local spot… always great food, service and drinks, always consistent!“

“Reasonably priced drinks and karaoke was fun!“

“Good food. Not kid friendly“

“Looking for a fun activity with our family before Thanksgiving, we chose bowling. The prices were definitely cheaper than commercial locations. The place was clean with stations every few lanes with balls organized by color and weight. There were ramps available for anyone to use if necessary. There is also the ability to set bumpers to raise and lower for an individual in your group. You have the ability to edit your score, which is great because a few times pins would fall on their own and add to the score. There were options for scoring using regular bowling rules or other fun games. While we didn’t eat there, but there were plenty of food and drink selections. My only issue was the balls were very oily and the finger holes were very small. Staff said that’s how they were ordered but offered me a small container of baby powder to use.“

“I was hesitant to stop here because I wanted a sit down restaurant for breakfast, however I am very glad I did!! I ordered Breakfast #1 (2 eggs, meat, potatoes and toast) for $6.99 and devoured the eggs before I thought to take a pic.
Very clean. Ladies behind counter are very nice. Food was excellent. Will be coming back if in Fairfax.“

“Best beers I've had in a long time! So many great and creative options of beers! Every one I sampled was OUTSTANDING! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Hats off to the brewer and the staff are SOOO friendly, professional and helpful! Great atmosphere and the outdoor patio is an added bonus on beautiful days!“

“The food appears... lesser quantity than in DC. The biscuits were smaller, and harder. I saw no bacon. The sausage (pork or chicken) was not "week done" as with the DC restaurant. Also there wasn't any shrimp. I got there at 9:am, and was told reservations were needed. So I Sat at the bar. Def a 3.5 rating on food here“

“2 Slobbery thumbs up! Millie enjoys!“

“We had a large party of 12, and they were able to accommodate us on short notice. Our server Derek was incredible! Very patient with an exhausted group of people that he probably could have become a little irritated with—definitely carried himself as a professional. It was a wonderful atmosphere with quick service, highly recommend.“
