50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Fairfax Station

“Food is always great. Last visit Jenna waited on us. Such an attentive, personable professional. She made the meal a pleasure.“

“Great steak and cheese. Great fries.“

“This was honestly the selling point for me going on a hiking walk! Such a smart idea to have an ice cream parlor at the park. Love the train in the parlor that mimics the train in the park. They have many ice cream flavors, but Superman was not the tasty Superman ice cream I know so I didn’t really enjoy that flavor.
There was a park behind the parlor which was cute for kids.
Go, enjoy!“

“Hands down the best soft serve ever tried. They make me hate Mc Donald’s icecream cone or any other ice cream place. Better than DQ. I have tried limited items here but everything I did try are very good. My fav is green apple soft serve on a cone. It’s my bf and I go to date spot. Love it.“

“We came based on the amount of good reviews and it didn’t not disappoint! Some of the best butter chicken and chicken tikka we’ve had! We’re not local but already planning on coming back.“

“Super nice owners. Delicious food.“

“The most delicious sandwiches in Fairfax. Plus they are family owned. 😊“

“If you are gluten intolerant this may be the beer for you. I have been gluten intolerant for 13 years now. I used to enjoy a beer here and there. Some of the gluten free ones out there are eh, at best. This beer has a full body taste. I did not have any issues drinking it. Now, that being said if you are gluten intolerant you must know yourself really well. It may not be for you, but than again it may. I am just excited that I had no issues and enjoyed a full tasting beer!“

“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.“

“Good food and great service from Yodi“

“Friendly, good food. Our waitress, Nicole, was outgoing and great!“

“Really cool Grateful Dead themed bar we found on our way to Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration at Wolf Trap. Bartender Peter was so kind and provided exceptional service. We enjoyed chatting with him. Chill vibe here, with a good variety of delicious beers and good food. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely extraordinary! Courtside Thai Cuisine is a gem in the heart of Fairfax, VA. From the moment you step inside, you're embraced by a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the aromatic allure of authentic Thai cuisine. The food is a culinary masterpiece, each dish a symphony of flavors harmoniously blending together. The Pad Thai is a revelation, with perfectly cooked noodles and a balance of sweet, sour, and savory that dances on the palate. The Green Curry is another star, its richness and depth of flavor truly showcasing the art of Thai cooking. Service here is impeccable. The staff are attentive, friendly, and go above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of perfect. They are knowledgeable about the menu and more than willing to accommodate any dietary preferences or modifications. But what truly sets Courtside Thai Cuisine apart is the ambiance. The decor is elegant yet cozy, providing an ideal backdrop for both casual dinners and special occasions. It's a place where every meal feels like a celebration. In a world full of dining options, Courtside Thai Cuisine stands out as a beacon of culinary excellence and hospitality. It's not just a meal; it's an experience, a journey through the vibrant, flavorful landscapes of Thailand. A true Fairfax treasure, I can't recommend it highly enough! 5 stars all the way!“

“Best birria tacos ever! Make sure you get the sides, rice, beans, esquiotes (elotes in a bowl). It was so good we got food to go to eat tomorrow. We live 60 miles away and unanimously agreed to come back here just for the food. They are getting a liquor license and will start serving drinks next week. I can't wait to return. Additional bonus, the staff was awesome, friendly, helpful, hospitable and the food came out quickly.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Whenever I’m in the mood for a cozy movie night at home without the hassle of cooking, this place is strictly in my top three options. Honestly, I must have ordered from here well over twenty times by now ;p
​Our go-to combination always includes the Chow Fun, either the Mei Fun or Singapore Noodles, and a classic Fried Rice, alongside one specialty dish and today, we opted for the Green Bean Chicken. Everything arrived piping hot, freshly made, and perfectly seasoned. The team is always so wonderfully warm and welcoming whenever my husband step in for pick-up. If you’re looking for high-quality, comforting Chinese takeout, Chan's Kitchen is an absolute must :)“

“The best little bakery you could ask for and it’s right in my neighborhood. This could be a problem. Maybe if I walk there I can burn enough calories to justify a daily cinnamon roll. And time my arrival as Max is pulling them out of the oven. Because they are sooo good. Also try the baguettes, croissants, and various pastries that seem to randomly roll out throughout the morning. Note: if you want a fat Cinnabon, go to the mall. These are cinnamon rolls with a moist, barely baked center. Apparently not everyone is a fan of the sweet gooey center. Hahaha - just pass it over here! Enjoy. (Daily?)“

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

“Food quality was exceptional with freshly cooked food and tasty flavors of seasoned chicken and gyro meat. Staff was friendly and provided attentive service and seemed to take pride in their hospitality. Overall, it makes for an enjoyable meal with the quality food and atmosphere at this restaurant.“

“I had been seeing honeygrow everywhere and never really knew what it was, so yesterday, Saturday, I finally had the chance to stop in, and I’m so glad I did. Everything looked so fresh. The restaurant was clean, the kitchen and cooking area were immaculate, and even the beverage bar was spotless. The whole place felt pristine at this location. The employees were nice, and the customer service was very satisfactory. I ordered the kale chicken Caesar and added bacon. I also had them heat up the chicken and bacon. My plan was to take it home, but it looked so good that I opened the container in the car just to have a taste, and it never made it home. It was absolutely delicious. The Caesar dressing, the chicken, and everything together was just amazing.
Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be back. 10/10 I highly recommend.“

“Zorba's Grilll has delirious food, good service and a very good atmosphere al at a reasonable price. My family, friends and I frequently dine at Zorba's. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants to have good food and and enjoyable meals in an inviting environment.“

“Not sure how to graciously ask this question, but I am usually taken back when I see foodies without prices on their menu. It makes me think those preparing the menu may be arrogant to believe that price means nothing to patrons. Price matters. Are foods and drinks priced too high to be transparent? Are all patrons so well off that price to them really does not matter? I will sometimes pass over a place if they hide their prices, just because there are so many others that do not hide them. The atmosphere just by itself deserves a reluctant visit.“

“Fantastic food cooked by award winning chef Roberto Donna. Welcoming owner and friendly atmosphere. Our seafood calamarata and shrimp rice risotto were outstanding.“

“I came in lost. Unsure of what I wanted. Starving and clueless, Eldana(I hope I spelt right) kindly guided me to crafting the perfect meal. The manager, Andrea, and her sidekick Siem, created the most welcoming environment. The service was exceptional right when I walked in the door. The food was amazing. Definitely coming back 1000%!!!!!“

“place is beautiful. i will def be back. loved it!!!!! takoyaki and ramen were delish!!!!!“

“The BBQ pizza was dope as hell. Nice environment“

“I judge most Peking Duck restaurants by their Peking Duck, and this was as good as you’ll find in the US! The skin was beautifully crispy, and the duck was delicious. The Scallion Bubble Bread was another standout, as were the pea shoots and eggplant dishes.

Unfortunately, the Wagyu Lo Mein and Seafood & Tofu Claypot were misses. The brown sauce-based dishes generally fell flat, lacking the depth and complexity of flavor I expected.

The atmosphere was wonderful, and the parking free. Overall, a lovely dining experience with some exceptional dishes and a few misses. I’d absolutely return for the Peking Duck!“

“Great food and ambience, you can tell the quality of the restaurant by its excellent ingredients and taste not to mention the service and friendly bar tender (Mer), A must try if you’re in Tyson’s Boro neighborhood.. will definitely be regulars here .“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Honoo Ramen Bar! Honoo Ramen Bar is an absolute gem and a must-stop in West Falls Church! From the very first bite to the last, everything was exceptional. The Tako Wasabi was perfectly balanced—fresh, briny, and addictive. The Sake Steamed Clams were rich, aromatic, and bursting with flavor… pure comfort in a bowl. The wagyu and toro sushi were incredibly fresh, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious—clearly top-tier quality. And the shrimp dumplings? Steamed to absolute perfection: tender, flavorful, and expertly made. Do not leave without trying the Green Bliss Roll—it’s a standout and an instant favorite. On top of the amazing food, the service is attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making the entire experience even better. Honoo Ramen Bar delivers on every level—food, service, and vibe. If you’re anywhere near West Falls Church, this place is an absolute MUST STOP. I’ll be back again and again! 🍜✨“

“Delicious spicy beef noodle soup“

“Everything about this place is amazing!“

“The Sandwich Shop is awesome! I’ve had every sandwich a few times, and some dozens of times. They are all great. And the fries are the best! But if you don’t want fries, get the cheesy bacon tater tots! You can’t go wrong. This is a real gem in Vienna.“

“Great place to hang out with friends!“

“Loveeeee the traditional cappucino, had it with oatmilk. It can be hard to find good seating indoors during peak hours cos there are lotsa people working, studying, and chilling. But outdoor seating was generally available when I was there. Bathrooms are generally really nice and clean.“

“We got take out for the first time from here! The roast beef with horseradish on a cheddar cheese roll is PHENOMENAL! The roast beef is fork tender!! Highly recommend 👌“

“Amazing atmosphere, lots of room and space. Friendly and helpful staff. We will be back!“

“Such a cute & cozy place to eat very yummy food! Highly recommend the shrimp dumplings! Everyone was friendly & the owner checked with us to see how the food was. She told us she makes all the dumplings by hand. A casual spot to have a sit down surrounded by the cutest panda decor“

“The best Vietnamese food hands down! When I’m in the area I always have to stop by Le Bledo to get a banh mi and a soup. The consistent quality and attention to detail is what makes this place great. I know what to expect so I’m always satisfied with my food from the fresh baked daily bread to the variety of Vietnamese classic soups such as pho, bun bo hue, and bun rieu 😋 10/10 highly recommend and bring a friend!“

“Dropped by to check out the new Jung KBBQ & Makchang. If you are looking for standard, reliable KBBQ and intestines, this place hits the mark. The meats and sides offer a familiar, classic KBBQ experience. But what really sets this place apart from the rest is their ramen service. They actually cook and serve ramen for you, which was an unexpected but amazing addition to the heavy BBQ! It perfectly balanced out the meal. Ended up having a very satisfying, filling dinner. I’ll keep this place in mind whenever I want a solid KBBQ night with a great noodle finish.“

“Ordered a flat white, breakfast burrito, and chocolate croissant. Everything was delicious! I was very impressed. This was probably the first flat white I've enjoyed in years. Breakfast burrito was well-balanced and filling but not heavy. Chocolate croissant was chocolate-y lol. Service was friendly. Cafe itself wasn't cozy or anything but had multiple seating options and could certainly be a place to hang out or do some work.

Only gripe was the price. Maybe it's just the reality of dining out these days but I found this place quite pricey for a cafe.“

“We LOVE Ono. We met Scott and Cindy before they officially opened 9 years ago and they gave us a tour of the brewery. We’ve been to their anniversary luaus and celebrations, spent weekends and holiday eves there, and it’s one of our favorite places to visit on a random weeknight when we don’t feel like cooking dinner at home. Some of our friends had a “traveling growler” that we would fill and drop off for each other with Ono’s beers. The beers are always delicious and the atmosphere is a bit of vacation in the middle of northern VA. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area!“

“The best Indian food place in the entire DMV area. The most flavorful food around. Our favorite dishes are Chicken 65, Chole Bhature, and Butter chicken. Mango Lassi is delicious as well. The inside is decorated very tastefully, and the staff is super friendly.“

“La comida es deliciosa, gran variedad de bebidas, es atendido por personas muy amables y todo a muy buen precio“

“The customer service is superb every time I have visited. My favorite is their mango cake and the shortbread cookie. Great ambience!“

“Best mocha ever.. we love going to the Swiss bakery for treats ❤️❤️“

“This place is a great neighborhood bar for craft beers and good vibes. Rosemary the bartender is very nice and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this bar if you are in the area!“

“I’ve been here a couple of times and I definitely recommend this place to anyone craving Korean ramen with lots of toppings. You pay around $8.50 for unlimited toppings which is a great deal. We also got a blue lemonade and peach green tea, they were so refreshing!

Everything is self-serve here and the staff will instruct you on how to cook your ramen and what to add to your bowl. There are also instructions on how to cook your ramen which is really easy to follow.“
