“I had a delightful time at Ruby Tuesday. It was my first time ever and yes, delightful. The food hit the spot, the vibes were relaxed, and everything came out just right. But the real MVP of the evening was our server, David.

David was friendly without hovering, funny without trying too hard, and somehow always appeared exactly when we needed something (I suspect magic). Drinks stayed full, food arrived hot, and he made the whole experience feel easy and fun like dining with a very professional, very efficient friend.

All in all, great food, great service, and a reminder that Ruby Tuesday can still absolutely deliver. If you go, ask for David you’ll leave fed, happy, and possibly wondering if he clones himself to cover all those tables. 😄“

“TJ is an incredible server, when my food was late he was empathic and offered coffee on the house, this made me feel like I’m dining at a 5-star hotel rather than a random eatery. His morale and attitude, deserve him a promotion to train and lead others!! Go TJ!

“Mike was amazing and the food was great!“

“Great music on a Friday night!“

“This charming restaurant has a limited menu but they do everything deliciously well. Entered through an unimposing path between two buildings, you can either eat in a historic house or on the two level landscaped patio complete with a waterfall. The service is attentive but unrushed for a relaxing experience.“

“So happy to have found this place. Will definitely return! Excellent food and price! Friendly staff! Thank you 😊

Updating my review ::: we have returned several times and greeted with a friendly welcome, and enjoyed delicious freshly made food! Pro tip::: after your meal check out paradise ice cream for dessert 5 minutes away!“

“I was initially disappointed when I realized Firebirds no longer served their delicious prime rib on Friday nights. We substituted with the filet and aged rib eye. Both were perfectly prepared and very good. Our waiter Christian, was very efficient and took great care of us. We had a very nice evening.“

A big Thank you for letring me hang out for awhile. If ever back I will definetly come again“

“I just had the yummiest french dip sandwich! Tres tres tres délicieux!“

“Our first experience here was phenomenal, so the fact that the experience keeps getting better is amazing. The staff is so friendly, welcoming and ensures that you’re satisfied with your food/drinks, but also your experience! It’s always clean, and rarely has a wait time. But when they do; it’s for good reason. This is a place where you can confidently take your kids, pets, and even just by yourself without worry. With present and clearly passionate ownership; it’s always a good vibe where people visibly enjoy their jobs. Even when they are clearly busy and rushing; they always remember your presence and will consistently go above and beyond.“

“Excellent evening at the Woodbridge, VA NYAJs yesterday! We were greeted by the manager Usy( I’m not good at names) who was working on clearing tables. We had a couple minute wait for our outside table. There were 3 of us and we ordered drinks and appetizers to share. Desi was our server. She was attentive and cheerful (not annoyingly so). The Bang Bang Shrimp, Potstickers and my favorite Ahi Tuna Wontons were wonderful! Cocktails as well! We all had been regulars up to about 18 months ago as the service was atrocious. So glad NYAJ is back. This is my 2nd visit in a month. Will be back soon. Kudos to the new manager and staff. Keep it up!“

“Clifton Cafe is our new favorite evening spot on the weekends. We’ve been customers since the original owners opened it years ago, but until this past fall we did more to go orders than dine in since the service and time to prep food was often slow and unpredictable. Now we go almost every week. We’ve noticed big improvements since they expanded their kitchen and redesigned the bar area. Their new pull up bar is beautiful and spacious. The new owners and management are great too! We love the evening staff as well, especially Ian and Nicole. They are very personable, accommodating, and attentive. They have great happy hour specials from 3-6 and make the best margaritas and espresso martinis. Some of our favorite dinner items include the crab dip, Mediterranean salad, cuban sandwich, burgers, crab cakes, quiche specials, banana pudding, and too many crepes to name! We also appreciate that they have become more family friendly. We had a last minute party of 14 on a Friday evening (half of which were children ages 1-11) and they didn’t hesitate to pull some tables together in a private nook to accommodate our large group (again thanks to Ian and Nicole). We noticed they finally got a changing table in the large bathroom, which they are about to install. Our kids are past that stage, but there were several times when they were little that a changing table would have been helpful.“

“I think it's fairly new. Not sure how many people know about it. I just found out. I love this restaurant! They had a location in Lakeridge and it closed years ago. They have a lunch special with most things on tbe menu for 12.99. Its excellent casual dining. You just cant beat it.“

“Great local bar with good food. Staff are professional and friendly.“

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

“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“

“Easy to work with this marina. we can properly and safely work together and get jobs done on time. Customer satisfaction I’d think is 5 stars in my books.“

“Absolutely LOVED visit with my wife and friends! Definitely will return when back in the area! Thanks so much!!“

“best restaurant ever i love this place i think im addicted😅“

“Bravo! I took my daughter and mother to your Irish feast last night. Everything was incredible from the tartar sauce (no joke), to the seafood pie, corned beef dish, parsnips, Baileys Cream bread pudding, salmon, soda bread, leek soup. It's been on my to do list all year. Finally made it, after trying one of the holiday family feasts to go for the Christmas season. Great job. Pat yourselves on the back. Only thing I would change is mandatory tipping. I'm a great tipper having waitressed in HS and college, but when you have to wait and wait for things and it's a self serve buffet, mandatory tips are disappointing. No motivation to do well. My 75 yo mother said to add, "Nothing was mediocre, which is rare for a buffet. It's as if each dish made just for 'you.' Every dish was the star of the show."“

“Great food and very clean place“

“Pastrami Rueben was awesome!! Great Cole Slaw too!! Definitely recommended!! Thank you our server, Sarah!! A+ service and food.“

“Delicious food, Everything Good.“
