50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Fairfax Station

“My husband & I tried the steak & cheese for the first time tonight (2/28) & it was THE BEST! The meat was very flavored & seasoned! When my husband went in to get the order he said everyone was very nice. Highly recommend this place! We will be back again soon & will be trying that Baklava for sure!“

“This park is awesome! The wonderful office worker, Hannah was incredibly helpful to my mother in law who was having a difficult time. She even saved my dog from the moose in the office, it almost collapsed onto him...but that fearless employee held it up and saved his life. She also helped my MIL find her EPI-pen after she ate an apple. Hannah is a godsend and VERY attractive and a joy to my entire family.“

“I've only been here once but it was such a wonderful experience. It was my first outing with a girlfriend and my little one and the staff really made us feel welcome and taken care of. Here and there, aside from our server they were checking on me and the little one, if she was ok or needed anything. I found that very kind and helped w/ my nervousness for taking care of little one during a day date in a restaurant.This is an uber late review. I was here during the holidays and the decorations were really cute and festive. Our server was Laila and she was very sweet and friendly. The food was great as well. I had the pancakes and my friend had the el presidente burrito w/ homemade salsa, both were awesome and homemade salsa stood out enough that my friend ordered some to go :D It's a great place to go that's family friendly, great food, and wonderful service.“

“The food here is so amazing!!! This is my third time returning. My favorite is the butter chicken. The owner is very welcoming and provides a really nice and clean experience! Don’t think twice about coming here! You’ll be glad you did!“

“When it comes to takeout, this kobab joint sets the bar high. The ordering process is seamless, and the packaging ensures that your meal arrives hot and fresh. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite on the go or enjoying a cozy night in, their takeout service makes enjoying their delectable kobabs a breeze. With every order, you're treated to the same quality and flavor that you'd expect from dining in. It's the perfect solution for satisfying your cravings without sacrificing taste or convenience.“

“I was craving Chinese food, and I looked for the highest rated place within a half hour of my house. It was worth the 20 minute drive, best carry out Chinese food I have had in years. Very nice. Family owned restaurant. I will definitely be back.“

“I highly recommend this fun, local ice-cream place with a huge selection and creative specials. The only downside here is the line which can get a little nuts on warm summer evenings, still, if you are willing to wait it's well worth it.“

“Really chill atmosphere that was great for kids. Lot's of coloring books, crayons, and even chalk for the chalkboard wall in the back area. Weeknight specials are really a good deal considering how expensive everything is these days. We went on a Thursday and got the smashburgers which were surprisingly juicy and hotdogs are only $1 if you want something simple for kids. Will definitely make that part of the dinner rotation.“

“This restaurant has a comfortable seating area with a relaxed atmosphere and serves fusion-style dishes, some with an Asian flair that is truly comforting. Last time, we tried the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, which had a hint of sesame soy sauce and crunchiness from the lettuce, making it the perfect appetizer. The Fettuccine Alfredo with parmesan cream sauce was good, and the Sweet and Spicy Ribs were sweet and tasty, with a kick from the Korean Gochugaru sauce. We enjoyed all aspects of the restaurant, including the decent service.“

“Our family enjoys dinner at Silver Diner in Merrifield. Food is always so delicious! Furthermore, Peter is the most attentive, kind and always welcoming server you will ever encounter!! He makes our experience each time, so much better! The kids love him!! And he always remembers them and makes them feel special!!“

“Stumbled upon this place on the way back from a hike in the area. Who would have guessed Chantilly VA would have the best bbq I’ve ever had?? We got the spare ribs, smoked pork belly, kimchi pimento snack, and the smoked chili sausage. EVERYTHING was 10/10. My favorite was the pork belly which has this sweet crunchy crust that was absolute crack. For reference, we’ve had bbq in Texas, Kansas, Missouri, the Carolina’s, and more and this is hands down the most moist and flavorful. This won’t be the last time, Odd BBQ!!“

“It has been a while since I last visited this location, but I can always rely on their flavorful and robust coffee, which makes it consistently perfect. The excellent service and the place's always well-maintained and tidy make it an ideal location to relax, sip coffee, or watch the surroundings through its window while I enjoy my coffee.“

“What an awesome, cozy spot, especially if you want to be away from a big crowd but still enjoy good food and drinks. We had a great conversation with the owner and workers. Everyone was friendly and had great customer service skills. Oh, the bourbon selection is awesome!“

“Checked them out for the first time on St. Patty's Day. It was very busy. They have a very nice space with lots of seating indoors and out and they had 2 food trucks which was nice. Their beer and sodas are self serve which was new to me but made it easy to try all the different types without having too much of any one. Very enjoyable experience!However, for craft beer lovers, their beer wasn't as full of body or flavor as you'd expect.“

“first time at " lazy Dog" . Is spacious. very cozy bar, a patio with a fire place in the center and skywindow to watch planes on route to IAD. excelent menu, they have varieties of dishes to appeal sophisticated customers. the staff is attentive and excellent attitude. specially Natalie our waitress. since I live in the neighborhood, definitely will come back .“

“family owned Greek restaurant with big portions and decent pricing. Food comes out very quick, great for a lunch spot. slower lunch crowd during the week, was able to get a table immediately. Olivia was our server and she took great care of us. will be coming back with friends.“

“This was our first visit, and we'll absolutely be back. The staff was friendly and helpful in providing recommendations. We ordered the Jerry and the chicken salad. The Jerry was spaghetti squash, sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, and shrimp. Boy was it tasty! The chicken salad was amazing and the chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The bread was freshly baked and hot when it arrived. We also ordered the bruschetta. Although it tasted good, the bread was not what I expected.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, Palestinian and vegetarian options“

“Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday to celebrate our anniversary. The owner greeted us and chatted with us a for a while. Most tables were reserved for an event that afternoon, but when we told her we could be out before then, she seated us and brought out the menus. We ordered using the QR code on the menus, as that was the only option. I will say, that was the only thing I didn't like. I have having to use my phone for everything and wished I could've ordered in person and paid in person. And then the tip part was unclear and it chose the tip for us (18%). That felt kinda weird...what if I wanted to leave more? But that feels like the same complaint, having to order on my phone.Anyway, besides those 2 things, everything else was amazing. The food was fresh, tasty, and was brought out in a reasonable amount of time. The waiter was quick to bring out water and refills. Dina was sweet and chatted with us just the right amount. We ordered the 3 plate appetizer baba ghanoush, grape leaves, and fava beans. They were all good, but the fava beans were extraordinary. We also got the Susu's chicken plate. It was also delicious...and the best part of that plate was the amazing tomato sauce.I can't recommend this place enough and we will surely be back!“

“Greeted by an army of sandwich makers, The Sandwich Shop is a well oiled machine. The service was fast, friendly and efficient. I came because of the vegetarian options and opted for something I would never normally try: the broccolini and sun dried tomato sandwich. Sometimes this tactic pays off, other times it’s a bust. Regrettably this choice didn’t pay off. I won’t hold it against them too much. It was a risky choice; I guess I don’t like sundried tomatoes as much as I thought I did. The bread however was great, and the atmosphere perfect for a lunch. I’ll try again another day and update the review.“

“Pleasant experience! A little cafe tucked in a corner of a shopping plaza. The employee greeted us with a smile as soon as we entered the cafe and answered questions we had about their special desserts...one of them was a delicious and crispy baklava. I tried the cardamom coffee, loved the spiced flavors combined with my baklava. Nice, quiet spot to have a relaxing morning with a smile on your face.“

“Great place! Kids love it. They want it everyday. They count the days until it reopens. Bank accounts are lower because...and not because of the price. Owner is awesome...We have a great experience every time we go...In my opinion too often...Kid-friendliness: Owner is onsite and interacts with customers as well as employees a lot of teenagers. Great atmoshere for kids and families.“

“I love this place, I go just about every week and live about five minutes away. Great beers, good rotation for new stock. Make sure to go to Eugene's also for food! The crowds here have gotten so big for these events over the past few years, be sure to check their calendar for upcoming and recurring events ? parking can be a little tight so be sure to get there earlier.“

“First time here and customer service was great! Michi was a great helper! Got me situated and comfortable with the place and her! Would recommend this!!! Ask for michi! Her bubbly personality and kind smile will go great with a cup of coffee! Her eyes were as beautiful as the night stars, her giggle was that of a angels, and her attentive care was that of a mothers. I miss her already. Till next time“

“Once when I tried it for the first time there service was good there food was good and their customer service but the second time the food was good but their service was terrible they put us in the back and we had less service than we had the first time so I’ll give them a four out of five“

“Food was delicious, beer was great and staff was super friendly. Very family friendly and chill vibes. Only bummer was they didn’t have any ciders on tap. The few seltzers they had weren’t great. If you are looking for non-beer options it’s not the place for you.Food was more BBQ than Hawaiian (small hint of Hawaiian)—still delicious, but nothing like an LnL.Overall, great experience and would come back if I’m in the area again!“

“There's always something new at Mustang Sally every time I visit. They have Trivia weekly if that's your thing. It's entertaining to watch even if you're not participating. Family friendly in that you can bring the kids if they're capable of sitting at the table with you, but don't expect to let them run around, it's not that kind of brewery.Beers: There staples are definitely sours/sour variants, and IPAs. Both of which they do an excellent job with. The beer names/themes are also always enjoyable, great throwbacks to pop culture.Events: Mustang Sally has some of the best themed events/parties in the area. The Sour Fest, Dill Pickle Fest, and countless others are always awesome and a great value.Venue: awesome pinball games, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Food inside on most days at Eugene's.“

“This was my first visit to Starr Hill Biergarten and I was really pleasantly surprised. What a cool place! Eleven floors up to a big outdoor play space with views of the Tysons Corner skyline. It's December, so not much happening outdoors, but the small heated tent was cozy, warm, and festively decorated. The beers were great, especially the Warm Up Spiced Winter Ale. Service was friendly and prompt. We ordered food and the Buffalo Chicken Wrap was excellent - just the right spice level, proportion of ingredients and firmly wrapped. The fries were tasty too, and my partner liked the brat.“

“Amazing hospitality. This will forever be my go to spot on my walk down to the river. Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing little spot. Love the dogs and creative sodas.I’ve been a few times already with my kids and solo.Worth a visit. I haven’t had their lobster roll but I will try that next time!!“

“Great takeout spot. It's rare for a pizza place to have good wings, but Bricks does! Thin crust cheeseburger pizza is fantastic, and so is the supreme. I think they treat the staff well because almost without fail EVERYTHING is correct. That's a rarity these days. To boot they are a friendly bunch who will usually make you crack a smile when ordering. We are lucky enough to be in their delivery radius and everything always come in hot and looking great.In 7 years only one time ever did we get a pizza that had been mishandled (all cheese shifted to a side) and we called just to let them know (not even complaining). They INSISTED on bringing us a fresh pie. Who does that these days? Bricks does. Love them.“

“This place is a literal diamond in the rough. Not only are the staff and management super friendly, the prices are exceedingly reasonable, the food is delicious, the views from the outdoor dog friendly patio are beautiful, and to top it all off this wonderful establishment is veteran owned. If you're looking for a place like no other, Come to Mulligan on the green.“

“I just wanted to post a review to say THANK YOU to the staff today!! I took my husband there for a "surprise" belated birthday get-together with family...I wasn't sure if 5 people or 15 people were going to show up! Our family loved the atmosphere and the food was soooooooo good. It was also so family friendly, as we had 6 kids under age 6! I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again, but I'm sending all my NOVA family your way!!“

“The price is very reasonable for the portion. The best is their dessert. I highly recommend the brownie sundae. It's enough to be shared by 4 if eat an entree 1st. It's got a beach vibe even though it's next to a car dealer and busy street. Very casual, indoor & outdoor seating. Family friendly and friendly staff.“

“Great, friendly service! I had a lot of questions about the food and they answered patiently. Food was sooo good. My first Bing impressions: delightful and satisfying. Rose milk tea was divine as well. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for a great experience.“

“I truly enjoyed my #CremeBruleeDonut ? and iced #ChaiStrawberry. OMG, AMAZINGGG ‼️Such a wide variety of baked/fried pastries and coffees/teas/ice cream ??All around Washington-Dulles Airport ✈️??????☕? ?. It's a lovely space with lots of seating indoor and outdoors. I will definitely visit again when in the area.“

“This place has a great atmosphere. Very dog friendly!! That makes me happy. Sucks they dont serve food, as strong as the beer is they really should serve something. There is a food truck outside but ?‍♀️ The employees were friendly and did recommend a great beer but dont try to start conversations with them. I know if you want convo call someone who cares but man come on give me 5 seconds after i just spent $35 ? Ill definitely be back next time i deliver to this area!!“

“Easily one of the top Indian restaurants in the DMV region. Easy to find the place. There’s paid street parking, a free parking lot behind the restaurant. They do accommodate walk-ins but the wait times can sometimes be more than expected. Seating is limited and it gets busy during dinner time. Bar seating available.Ambiance is okay, atmosphere is slightly noisy and music is acceptable. But you can easily have conversations in the loudest setting. Staff and service is good. Really efficient and knowledgeable.Everything on the menu is worth a shot. My favorites are - Chicken chili, Paneer chili, Schezwan chicken, Chole Bhature, Hakka noodles, chicken biryani, rajasthani Laal maas, Kashmiri goat curry.There are regular desert options, nothing that will wow you but is of really good quality.Not a fan of their butter chicken and Naan. Chat items have room for improvement.You can place order online through gruhub, Uber eats, DoorDash, etc. There isn’t a price difference between ordering on these apps and their restaurant menu which makes me believe they have marked up the cost to accommodate additional platform surcharges. Other places will have discounted restaurant rates.Good place for family and friends get-together. Will definitely recommend and return for more.“

“The food and drink specials throughout the week and weekend plus their happy hour are incredible. If the delicious food alone is not enough the bands and entertainment always bring a great crowd but the staff makes it. They treat everyone like they have known you for years, great local pubParking: Always plenty of parking even on busy nights and during events there is plenty of street parkingKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly and family oriented. They provide chalk to draw outside and crayons and coloring books for insideWheelchair accessibility: Many places for wheelchair seating“

“Mr. Sams resteraunt is the best! there are so many food options from pizza, wings, subs, butter chicken gyros, ect. Everything that my family has tried is amazing. we found the resteraunt about 2 years ago, every since this is the only place we get food from when we order out. Mr. Sam's resteraunt prime pizza and grill has become a house hold name for us and brings us together whether over a delicious meal or phone calls to tell what we tried today. Everytime we order and taste something great and new we will make sure we share the experience with everyone. Thanks again Mr. Sam! My mom of course loved the pizza she picked up and the specialty.“

“Such a fun family place! While there's a slight walk involved, good to burn a few calories! A local favorite. I'm glad Peterson's Ice Cream is in the town of Clifton. This is a place all I know have enjoyed. Due to its location it's slightly expensive, but you're getting quality too. They have regular ice cream, with multiple flavors. Yet my Achilles heel is their tasty soft serve. A fantastic treat. Dig the train out front, as trains are quite active on the nearby tracks. This has been around for some time. Yes it can get busy, but the employees are friendly and efficient. I think they deserve an extra kudos, and their organization system is an impressive one. If you're in the area please visit this ice cream shop. They are special to my whole family, and we will be back again!“

“I'm writing this review after trying Big Buns Vienna branch, and the newest location in Fairfax (which still doesn't have a yelp entry at the time of writing this review). I tried the Classic burger, the Hot and Hefe, and the Shirlington Hot Nashville chicken sandwich.This is not your typical run-of-the-mill fast food burger joint. For the beef burgers, this place makes them exclusively from angus beef which makes for a totally elevated burger experience. I ordered mine medium and they were SO juicy and flavorful.The Nashville hot chicken sandwich (Shirlington) caught me by complete surprise. I didn't expect a burger place to sell such flavorful and truly hot chicken sandwich. It's not for the faint hearted, though. Order your hot sauce on the side and add it to taste if you cant take the heat. But don't sleep on this one. It tastes way better than at specialized hot chicken restaurants.I took away one star because the lower part of the bun gets very soggy and starts to disintegrate by the time you reach home. I would choose dine-in over takeaway for that reason. I hope they work on sourcing better quality buns or figure out a way for their buns not to get too soggy and ruin the nearly-perfect burger experience. Also, their fries portions are small compared to the price.Nevertheless, I'm definitely coming back for more flavorful burgers and hot chicken!“

“In the Middle East. The interior is very nice, and the pastries variety was amazing. They have a mix of Arminian, Greek, and Turkish desserts and pastries. We ordered a selection and enjoyed every piece with our coffees. I'll definitely come back to try other varieties.“

“Ordered the forbidden rice bowl for delivery. Food arrived hot and smelled really good. Taste was bland, had to add a bunch of salt (the only "spice" available at the office) as there was almost no flavor. Was really disappointed to spend over $30 and have a less-than stellar meal from a restaurant I heard great reviews from.“

“This morning, I had to make a super hard decision between awesome smelling coffee and good tasting beer that I had from them in the past. It was my first time in that building... Industrial looking with tons of seating and people vary from working to family and strollers.“

“My sister recommended this place and I love boba so I of course said yes. I saw they had a drink called matchaberry that I wanted to try and they decorated it with cute stars! The boba texture was also really fresh and chewy. Our friend also got the banana milk boba which tasted so much like the Korean banana milk. It was pretty slow when we went so our drinks came out super fast.“

“first time at " lazy Dog" . Is spacious. very cozy bar, a patio with a fire place in the center and skywindow to watch planes on route to IAD. excelent menu, they have varieties of dishes to appeal sophisticated customers. the staff is attentive and excellent attitude. specially Natalie our waitress. since I live in the neighborhood, definitely will come back .“

“Came here after a visit to the National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy. It's a great place to grab a cold delicious beer and sausages. The menu here is vast and delicious! I highly recommend if you are in the area to stop by grab a beer and a sausage. The service here was great as well. Very attentive! 10/10 will return!“

“Love this place. There seems to be a little confusion in the reviews with people mistaking frozen custard and soft serve ice cream. Frozen custard is made with egg yolks, and so it has a little bit thicker texture. We happen to be huge fans of frozen custard and so absolutely how Campbell's makes it. I don't normally love vanilla flavored desserts but I make an exception for this place. We haven't tried most of the special flavors, but the chocolate and vanilla are both very good--we typically bring home a quart and mix in our own toppings. We also LOVE the Oreo ice cream sandwiches.“

“Beautiful day for some sunshine and great ice cream! The staff is so kind, sweet and patient. One of our favorite flavors is graham central station. Today I got the mint chocolate chip in honor of St. Patty’s. It was perfect amount of mint flavor! Not overwhelming. Lots of choco chips too!!“

“I always rely on True Food for its delicious yet healthy food options. We just had lunch there and loved the ambiance - the combination of wood tones and greenery created a relaxing and comfortable feel. The staff member who greeted us was welcoming and friendly, and our server provided attentive and speedy service. Our food arrived within minutes of placing our order.The food was exceptional, especially the edamame dumplings appetizer. They were perfectly seasoned with soy sauce, dashi, white truffle oil, and herbs. The True Blue Grass-Fed Burger was also a great choice. The Peruvian pepper sauce added a pleasant kick to the burger, while the caramelized onions provided a sweet contrast to the blue cheese. The Korean Noodle Bowl was similar to Japchae, made with sweet potato noodles and veggies. However, it had a subtle citrusy flavor with garlic. Our drinks, Kale Aid with Greek yogurt and Bright Eyes, were both healthy and delicious. Their vibrant colors made them a feast for the eyes.I'm looking forward to revisiting True Food soon to try some of their other tasty and healthy options.“
