“ATMOSPHER AND STAFF ARE GREAT, FOOD APPETISER AND KABOB WAS SO GOOD, I ENJOYED BREAD AND ALSO TEA WAS SO GOOD.”
“Not sure what other reviews are talking about. Maybe the prices used to be high, but they’re pretty reasonable for eating out these days, especially considering the whole meal (vegetables, noodles, soup)”
“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!”
“We love the Capital Grille. It is such a and welcoming place, and the food is delicious. Best of all is the service. We always look forward to being served by Shayla. She is absolutely fabulous - so delightful and efficient, and she always makes our visits special.”
“This feels exactly what I want a sushi place to feel like. It is clean with a nice modern feel and the service is professional but kind. The food came out fast and all of the sushi was delicious, my favorite being the maguro nigiri. I do wish the rice to fish ratio was a bit higher, but I will happily come back despite that minor difference in opinion.”

“Absolutely best meal ever. Service is outstanding. Never disappoints.”
“I love this place, the atmosphere and the food. Today a friend and I went for a yummy brunch and were served by a super waiter, Benn. The restaurant and the service – highly recommended.”
“Wonderful food, the trout was amazing and so was the shrimp and crab fritter appetizer. Our waiter Matthew was seriously the best and sweetest waiter I’ve ever had in my life. We are here for vacation but we will without a doubt come back here the next time we are in the area.”
“Umami 😌🤌🏻🤏🏻 every single dishes is great! The sushi was spot on!! 🍣🍜🍱 Plus first time trying “A5 Wagyu” num num num exceptional service from Thai employees!! I’m so proud of them! He asked me is it my first time here? So Yes! Then he started recommending all of those signature dishes which I was gonna ask him since the first place but he did a very good job beginning with that! Plus he was genuinely kindhearted and care for his guests. The chef(I guess)also delivered food by himself with A5 Wagyu and other stuffs for you! The music also made it a lot more enjoyable! Impressive! Gotta go back!!”

“It was my first time here and the atmosphere is so nice. Everything was clean and bright. Our waitress Anna was so amazing and we really appreciated her explaining some menu items to us. She even recommended a few items and they were all delicious. I would definitely come back.”
“This was by far the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. First, when we walked through the door, the man at the counter was so friendly and helpful when it came to asking questions about the menu. We came to find out he was actually the owner. We sat down waiting on our food, and it was hot, fresh, and made to order. The flavor was outstanding! If you get a chance to stop by this spot, you will not be disappointed.”

“I got a fever, and the only prescription is KPOT. Our second time going, and this may be our new favorite restaurant. Kudos to Dale for giving us an awesome dining experience yet again.”
“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.”

“Amazing Thai spot! I came here for the first time today and ordered takeout. My go-to Thai spot used to be sisters Thai but lately they’ve been inconsistent, pricey, and giving noticeably smaller portions.
I decided to give Happy Thai a shot and was so glad I did! The food was so delicious, flavorful and authentic tasting. Service was great. I placed my order for pickup at 7pm and they had my food prepped and ready to go on the dot.
This will be my new Thai spot!”
“This place is kind of small hole in the wall. Seats about 14 or so outside and not many more people inside. Nice menu that's not too large or too small. Some Tex-Mex menus have way too many choices. The starter tortilla chips and salsa were top notch. Service all around was excellent. I had the Chicken Chimichanga and it was one of the best I've ever had. It came with rice and refried beans as well as pico, sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce. Everything was delicious, cooked perfectly, and reasonably priced. The presentation was great as well Can't wait to come back.”
“This place is subpar. Food was average, not worth the price. However, I will absolutely be coming back due to the service. Andrew did everything in his power to accommodate my family. I don’t think I’ve seen a server as personable, competent, and willing to fulfill our wants and needs. He seems to go out of his way in order to make us feel welcome, and that no task is too small. He even made our kids happy! Any request they had, he was on top of. Very attentive, respectful, and polite! Maybe this guy should be a manager….? He checked on us more than the actual managers did, even though he was clearly busy; I don’t think I saw a manager my entire time. I would have loved to praise him to a higher up. KEEP THIS GUY! I love the new lamps on the table, it gives a little more light, and makes me feel like I’m not in a dungeon. Host seemed very disinterested in helping, and very monotoned. Not necessarily how I want to feel when I walk in. Didn’t really feel welcome until our server came along.”
“Dolce Vita provides a consistently great experience with really good food, outstanding old-fashions and other drinks, all at good prices! They are very kid friendly and also a great place for meeting friends. Tip, the bar area is a bit quieter if there is a lot of noise or families in the main area. Not a bad thing, just a factor in how you want your dining experience to go.”
“This place is incredible. I am not aware of any other luosifen noodle house in the area. If you, like me, are a newcomer to this style of noodle soup, you are going to be extremely impressed. The bone broth is bracing, complex, and flavorful, far richer and deeper than pho or tonkotsu. Recommend getting it spicy: it brings all the flavors together without being overwhelming. Additionally, the Sichuan menu is one of the best in the area, second only to Mama Chang's and Hong Kong Palace. This place is pretty new and trying to get its feet underneath it. Let's support high quality food!”
“This place was surprisingly good! We went in expecting nothing on a random lunch date, and loved both dishes. The blackened salmon sandwich was insanely melt in your mouth good. Definitely recommend for a casual lunch or date night spot.”

“In Rio Grande Valley border towns, this South Texas chain is famous for its breakfast tacos with homemade tortillas. For maximum effect, go first thing in the morning when everything is fresh, order at the counter, and ask for your tacos con frijoles, papas (potato), y huevos (3 egg options were w/ chorizo, sausage and “a la Mexicana”). They’ll smear a spoonful of frijoles on the tortilla and then load it up with everything else. I’d also get salsa and pico de gallo, but on the side so it doesn’t get everything soggy. 2 tacos are enough for most people. They’re pretty big. I’d say the ones in the RGV are still on another level, but this is still doubtless the best breakfast tacos in NoVA, and I’m glad to have them when I’m craving something authentic. I was stunned when I realized this staple of my hometown had several locations here. They should probably limit their hours to early afternoon to focus on breakfast / lunch until they grow enough business out here. I think once it catches on, it’ll be yet another DC-area place with long lines.”
“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!”
“Amazing food and also gluten free options we had the crab guac, lobster tacos and Bouillabaisse. Chris the bartender made great margaritas and martinis. Highly recommend.”
Takeout Restaurants
“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!”
“After a hard day of work, I went to treat myself to eating Cava - Lee Hwy, I like it because the food is fresh and delicious. When I arrived, I was delighted to see the smiling and friendly staff, but I especially want to thank Diosesis for always giving all customers such a pleasant, smiling and very respectful welcome. Thank you very much for the excellent work you do.”
“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.”

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.”
“The name is a little misleading. They serve authentic Latin American cuisine. Not a huge place, seating is limited. Consider takeout. I’m a huge fan of their salteñas and fried plantains. Very affordable. Entree portions are generous in my opinion. I’ve only been for lunch and dinner. The bakery case has lots of treats that I need to explore.”
“It was my first time here and the atmosphere is so nice. Everything was clean and bright. Our waitress Anna was so amazing and we really appreciated her explaining some menu items to us. She even recommended a few items and they were all delicious. I would definitely come back.”

“The best banh mi sandwich you will find, the bread is baked fresh on premises. All the ingredients are fresh. This is only one of two Pho restaurants in the country that has pipping hot stone bowl, the other one is 3K miles away. Try the vegetable Pho, there is nothing like it anywhere, absolutely amazing, you need to request it. The chicken Pho is the best you will find. Everything on the menu is great. The owner is there to greet customers. The staff is absolutely the best.”
“Outstanding dinning experience! We’ve been to and have had Korean BBQ, but NOTHING compares to this! The quality of food, knowledgeable staff, creative cocktails and atmosphere are what make this restaurant well worth the visit. EVERYTHING was OUTSTANDING! I’ve never enjoyed a restaurant more that Gyu-shige! AAA+ We will be back!”
“The moment you walk in, the environment is so welcoming, fresh, and vibey. It's like you know " this is going to be good". Then you are greeted, and the service was just that much better. She was awesome, super friendly and likeable. Didn't have to wait too long for food, clearly it was made fresh to order because when i got it (chicken ceaser wrap with fries) it was AMAZING. the fries were so perfectly crisp and warm, the wrap was balanced, warm, but not too warm because of the lettuce. Cannot rave enough about my experience, and the food. I'm looking forward to when i can make it back for another meal!”
“Pho Saigon 75 is a go-to spot for authentic Vietnamese food. The Bún Bò Huế is rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy with tender beef shank and pig knuckle. The grilled clams are a must-try — smoky, juicy, and topped with a savory mix of scallions, peanuts, and buttery fish sauce. Fast, friendly service and a clean, welcoming space make it even better. Highly recommend!”
“I have been visiting this place, and I regret not discovering it sooner. The food is delicious, served in generous portions, and if you come in feeling tired after work, the staff will take care of you with genuine warmth. The restaurant is clean and has great music suitable for families, couples, and singles. I’ve dined at other restaurants, but I can confidently say that Wild Chicken offers exceptional customer service.”
“I just ordered an Eggs Benedict BLT and it was absolutely delicious! We had an amazing waitress named Maekiera and she was the sweetest most patient person with us. I enjoyed our small talk and our food was out quickly. Great presentation and a calm atmosphere too!”
“This is a great idea to bring people closer to the Lord. on top of that. they support local roasters and even have some whole beans in store. Great way to support local within local while being able to pray or do work. very quiet. very welcoming. no one is demanding you to pray to get coffee. it's the most unique coffee shop I've ever been to. the idea. the layout. everything is great. I got a sandwich and some beans. Great spot”
“my son and niece are OBSESSED with playa bowls! we never leave with a bad experience, the workers are so incredibly nice, and shoutout Ellie, every interaction ive had with her was the sweetest!! Always excited to come back here, defined one of my fav spots always such a vibe!!”
“Great, go to place for consistent service and quality food!”

Cheap Eats
“My favorite bubble tea shop! My top picks are the Taro Sago Latte and the Mango Pomelo Sago. First, they can make both drinks with zero sugar, and second, the zero-sugar versions actually taste great—very friendly for anyone watching their sugar intake.
Besides ordering at the counter, I also really appreciate that they have self-ordering kiosks. It’s super convenient to order on your own without any pressure. Highly recommend!”
“We have worked with Charity, at the Fair Lakes Chick-fil-A, many times for our Waples Mill Elementary PTA and can’t be more complementary! They have supported countless events, we’ve made purchases from this store for our families, and today they donated 2boxed of coffee with all of the accoutrements for our PTA Board meeting. We are just incredibly thankful for their community, outreach and generosity! Thank you so much, you are a wonderful!! Sincerely, The Waples Mill PTA Family”
“First time here and I loved it! The food brought me straight back to my Vietnamese childhood, real street food flavors like when I was young.
We ordered the hot & sour boneless claws, hot & sour crunch, rice paper salad, and saté rice paper, everything was flavorful, fresh, and so satisfying. The place is cute, clean, and cozy with a very welcoming vibe.
They even have a lucky spin, and I got 15% off my total order, which made the experience extra fun. On top of that, the cashier was a very friendly lady, which made the visit even better.
I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot if you love authentic Vietnamese street food.”
“Honeygrow is a favorite hands down!! I tell everyone, the food is fresh, taste great every, and full of flavor every single time. Nery is super helpful and has exceptional customer service. My order was incorrect and guess what, he remade it and was so nice about it! I was so appreciative that he cared!! Awesome awesome awesome :)”
“Wonderful sushi especially the chirashi. The tempura is also delicious always crisp and not greasy.”
“Es uno de los mejores restaurantes de la zona de Manassas park la comida es deliciosa y la atención es de la mejor 👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰”
“After hearing of Bunnyman for months, I decided to hit it up with a few friends on a Friday night. It did not disappoint at all. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is serene with great music. The music volume is perfect too so you can still socialize without having to shout. My favorite amenities though, are the self-pour feature, the diversity of beer flavors, and the ease of paying. The taps are really easy to use and to keep track of how much your bar tab is accumulating. On top of that, you don't have to wait at all for a refill- just head on up to the tap and pour, amazing system! The Irish Red beer was my go-to, and it was very pleasing to see that on tap when it's not actually Oktoberfest season, (I can never seem to find it most times of the year). We will all definitely be back, as well as looking forward to visiting their Lorton location! Keep up the great work and the awesome selection of beers, mad props!”
“My long time, absolute favorite sushi restaurant in NOVA! Outstanding friendly staff, personal service, excellent and authentic food! I’ve been a loyal customer of this lovely place since they opened 19 years ago! Thank you for a terrific experience!!”

“Fun happy hour spot to visit! Staff was extremely friendly and was very informative of all the beers on tap. Food was delicious and we had a wonderful time! Will be coming back!”

“excellent restaurant with great service & excellent prices on great food and I really appreciate the excellent service and my meal I had there very nice family restaurant.”
“My friends and I came here for a girls night out and we all tried the different Thai teas which were so good! The service, food, and ambiance were also all great, we will definitely be back soon!”
“Great place, overpriced with too many extra charges, besides that, the food is excellent”
“Best Korean bbq I ever had . I love this place and go here every week now. I recommended all my family and friends to go here as well they all love it. It’s like the best marination I have ever tried . Beef is high quality and the marination they use is so flavorful. I love this place . Staff always has amazing service.”
“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!”
“You should try eat in here. The foods are excellent and professional to service.I really love eat in here.”
“The food was great (roasted brusselsprouts, garlic fries, braised short ribs, shrimp stuffed with crab over risotto, crème brûllé), we had a great time, and we weren't rushed. Perfect dinner!”
“Best all you can eat during Ramadan! Authentic Syrian and Lebanese food for the serious foodie! Best kibbe! Well worth my taste buds!”
“Interesting “northern”Chinese food. Different from the regular Chinese food”
“I’m only in town for a week, but have already been here twice since it’s short trip from where I’m staying and I enjoy a good brew pub. Ate at the bar both times. Food and service were 💯both times. I had the bacon wrapped meatloaf and the supreme pizza. Meatloaf was great, pizza’s ok. I tried both their hazy beers and the Freedom and Founders IPAs, all good choices. I’m planning on bringing my husband for my 3rd visit before heading home. Looking forward to having the Stroganoff pasta on my next visit. Would highly recommend for food and craft beer selections.”
“Thank you so much to Martha, Tom, Jason, Sarah, and the entire team who made my gathering at Alta today so special!! Martha really went above and beyond by arranging to have the surprise decor, balloon bouquet, and party favors for my guests and me! I was so overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness.”
“The crab fried rice is literally the reason my husband and I travel over an hour away for! We live in Maryland and make the drive each time because it’s so flavorful and a great portion size.
Their drunken noodles are also delicious with your choice of protein. The decor is very pretty, and it feels like a fine dining experience. Highly recommend!”
“It was wonderful! This was my first time trying Indian Cuisine and it was a fantastic introduction to to the food. I couldn’t have asked for better!”
“AMAZING tasting food and even more amazing owners. This restaurant stepped up to provide food to a community searching for a missing person. The kindness shown speaks volumes about the people who own this restaurant. #findmamtakaflebhatt”
“Sushi Prince has the best sushi in all of Fairfax. The fish and ingredients are always so fresh and delicious. It is the perfect spot for a date night.”
“Today is my birthday. My mom tried to order jumbo crabs, but it was right when they first opened, so door dash showed they didn’t have them, but Josie came to the rescue!! Thanks Josie, heavy MD jumbo”
“Amazing and fresh oysters! My sister and I sat at the bar and ordered a dozen oysters while we waited for our takeout order. Bartenders Jim and Brian were amazing, friendly, and great service!
From our takeout order, we ordered a bunch of appetizers, our favorite were the fried calamari and clam chowder soup. Definitely will be back.”
“Went here recently with a few friends for a great night out. The food was amazing, atmosphere/vibes were unbeatable, but the staff there was the best part especially the bartender named Justin. He was friendly and attentive.”
“Absolutely my favorite lunch spot in Fairfax. I’ve been eating here for 5 years now and the place is like home.. friendly and loving staff with the Absolute most delicious kabobs (IMO).. The only downside here is I live in faqr co.”
“3 course meal was a great value. I got the ribeye that was perfect. Calamari appetizer was delicious. The waiter Hassan was well informed, provide good recommendations and great service.”
“I had an amazing experience at Ted’s Bulletin in Merrifield. MJ, the bartender, was incredibly welcoming and attentive. She recommended a few cocktails, and I ended up having a fantastic Old Fashioned. I also had a steak, which was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was great, and I’ll definitely be back!”
“Food Delicious! And the staff super kind and friendly! Totally recomendable!”
“Came for brunch to celebrate my birthday and had an amazing time. Andrea was incredibly attentive, fun, and so sweet. She truly made the experience special. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back!”
“We went for Sunday brunch yesterday and our server was CJ. The bottomless mimosas were served in coup glasses and were plentiful (limit of 5 per person 👍🏻). I had the Huevos Rancheros which were served with breakfast potatoes and the order was big enough to share. The service was quick and thoughtful. I’d definitely recommend Drapers for Sunday brunch. The lunch and dinner menu looked interesting and I’m sure we’ll be back. A corner jewel in old towne Fairfax.”
“Great food, don’t like that I cannot see my order at checkout and am just told what i owe. I like to see the itemization.”
“Absolutely best meal ever. Service is outstanding. Never disappoints.”
“The vegan crepes were really tasty!! Friendly staff, loved the smoothies.!”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sushi On at Fair Oaks Mall, and it remains one of the best all-you-can-eat values in the area. While the dinner cost for an adult is $42 plus tax, the sheer variety and quality make it worth every penny.
The sushi selection is absolutely massive. Unlike many buffets where quality can be hit-or-miss, everything here tasted incredibly fresh. From classic spicy tuna to elaborate specialty rolls and fresh nigiri, the chefs are constantly replenishing the trays so your favorites are always available. Beyond the raw fish, there is a surprisingly good selection of other food including Korean BBQ galbi, crispy tempura, and snow crab legs. I was also very impressed by the good desserts; the made-to-order crepe station is a total game-changer and a perfect way to end the meal.
The service was exceptional. Despite being quite busy, the staff remained professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive. They were quick to clear away empty plates and kept our drinks full throughout the night. Just a heads-up for those visiting on the weekends: this place is popular for a reason, so be prepared for a wait line of about 30–45 minutes. If you want a top-tier dining experience with a staff that truly cares, I highly recommend checking out Sushi On. I will definitely be returning soon!”
“Hello, I am here to talk about my experience at Oh George. It was a very wonderful and comfortable experience, and I will be making sure to come back and dine in again. The service was sublime, quick, and very pleasant. There is a very kind hostess by the name of Madelin who made sure to prioritize my comfort and dining experience, which is why it is so elevated. 10/10, please do consider dining here, because the experience is very worthwhile.”
“Whiskey selection is amazing! So many kinds to choose from, as well as a very good selection of cocktails in general. The food, tho limited options, still provided a variety, and was very tasty. Service was pretty slow, and despite having 2 gentlemen coming to our table to check on us, both would forget what we asked for so we’d wait a long time to receive it. Overall though, definitely a place I’ll return multiple times to!”
“as a regular, the authentic Chengdu laziji (spicy chicken) congxiang yu (scallion fish) and ziran yang (cumin lamb) are my go to favorites”
“Fish and chips are awesome. Shrimp skewer is delicious. Good value for the price.”
“Many traditional Chinese dishes along with Americanized favorites. They may attempt to coax you into changing your mind if you’re not Asian and you want something traditional.”
“Great all-you-can-eat menu. Have been here many times and have not been disappointed. You can order food here through iPads and there is an area to get sauces. There is a 90-minute time limit per group, but it is fair because of other people waiting.”
“Excellent vegetarian Indian buffet. You won't miss the meat! There is plenty for vegans and people who are gluten free.”
“I absolutely love this place. Full stop. There’s always a tempting selection of sushi to choose from, and honestly, it’s hard not to over-order “just one more dish”. The chicken karaage is a personal favourite — crispy, juicy, and dangerously moreish. The mini salad deserves a shout-out too; that dressing? Chef’s kiss. I regularly go for the chicken yaki soba or the beef teriyaki, both beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and consistently spot on. Add gyoza as a starter and you’re winning at life. The staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive — the kind of place where you feel remembered, not processed. Every time I’m back in Fairfax County, this is the place we go. Always such a welcoming vibe. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5 stars. No notes.”
“We love coming here, great ambiance and people. David the manager was very accommodating and our chef - Ryan - did an amazing job tonight. We love that they give noodles and fried rice! Also you MUST try the Tokyo Shrimp here it is FANTASTIC!! The filet mignon melts in your mouth love the salmon lobster and scallops too. Their ginger sauce, yum yum sauce, AND salad dressing are all on point. It’s hard to find a place that does everything as well as Samurai. We drive from Ashburn just to come here for hibachi.”
“Excellent sushi restaurant! We were in Vienna and craving sushi and found this gem. We were seated right away, greeted with a smile and had a lovely evening. We started off with the edamame and miso soup and salad. We were BLOWN away with how good everything was right off the bat! The house salad had a onion sauce on the top that was so good! Best house salad I’ve ever had at a sushi restaurant. Then we both had rolls that were amazing! Joanne was our waitress and she was so kind and efficient. She even provided us with recommendations and a great description of some of the dishes I asked about. We will definitely be back next time we are in Vienna! Thank you so much!”
“Many thanks to Max and everyone at Ornery Public House in Fairfax City for helping my wife give me a great party.”
“We 💖 everything. The empanadas are super #delicious and coffee ☕️ as well. It is worth it. #Gracias”
“Great food and hospitality can’t wait to come back! Food was piping hot and complimentary condiments were delicious! My fish was perfectly cooked!”
“Great service, the food was on time and prepared correctly. It was very clean. I’d definitely return!!”
“My son love them. He loved their food. He loved their service. He loved the music the table their style I love everything about Olive Gardening he forced me to go there every week twice”
“I love it here. I wish I took pictures. But I was just so happy the entire time I forgot. Everything about Saba is beautiful. The food is amazing. The people are kind and sweet and happy to have you there. Our waiter was Hamza. He was wonderful and helpful and so sweet. Whenever anyone asked me any question all I could say was “I’m so happy”. Because truly, everything was lovely. I cannot wait to come back. I will be telling everyone I know about my very happy experience here.”
“Affordable AYCE KBBQ with big variety of meat choices! And they give lots of different side dishes as well!”
“Nice, chill location. the food was good. I ordered the 10pc wings with fries. I don't recommend getting the honey mustard sauce. it's the cost of a drink🥴, literally. Why something the same size as ranch or blue cheese costs the same as a drink (while the ranch and blue cheese don't cost extra), I'm not sure. If you're like me and don't eat ranch or blue cheese, bring your own honey mustard. other than that, I highly recommend.”
“Great food and great service if you are looking for a great meal ! $ Lychee Martinis are the best !! Gotta try it when you are there !”
“I m a big fan of george’s coffee. Specially Alameen he is very good boy , his behaviour so polite and friendly. Thanks Alameen and Thanks George’s.”
“Don't write many reviews but had to offset the one current negative review. This is not a full blown sports bar but serves one of the best burgers in the area and the wings are very good. Also have an excellent rotating selection of ~20 beers on tap. There is one big screen and several hanging TVs. Yes its the dining area at Whole Foods with a limited menu but the food/beer are worth a visit IMO.”
“One of my favorite Korean restaurants in the area! Food is great quality and portion is big for the price. Service could be better, they seem to be short staffed, but as a new place I hope that will get better with time.”
“Omg � best burgers by far Great service and what a team effort Well done I'm from Melbourne Australia � Would highly recommend this place soooo Fresh”
“Loved the hotpot, cumin beef, spicy boiled fish fillets, sautéed any vegetables, braised beef soup noodles, pig ear appetizer. You can ask for less oil and less salt. Will be back to try other dishes!”

“I want to take this opportunity to share our experience at your restaurant, Bonefish, on Friday, August 29. Our visit for lunch was a great success. Our group of 7 senior women were served by wait staff who were pleasant and patient as we gathered and took our time ordering their delicious salads. They had a nice selection of salad and soup. We all enjoyed our meals. We were also celebrating 2 birthdays. They offered the birthday girls a selection of deserts that were free for the two celebrants. We all sang Happy Birthday and even our waiter joined us We will certainly plan to visit again soon.in singing!”
“I have been visiting this place, and I regret not discovering it sooner. The food is delicious, served in generous portions, and if you come in feeling tired after work, the staff will take care of you with genuine warmth. The restaurant is clean and has great music suitable for families, couples, and singles. I’ve dined at other restaurants, but I can confidently say that Wild Chicken offers exceptional customer service.”
“We love the Capital Grille. It is such a and welcoming place, and the food is delicious. Best of all is the service. We always look forward to being served by Shayla. She is absolutely fabulous - so delightful and efficient, and she always makes our visits special.”
“Super delicious food, I like the atmosphere a lot.It became my favorite place on the weekend.All of quality !!I did not think to find a restaurant where food is authentic Peruvian. [Original] La comida súper deliciosa, el ambiente me gusta mucho. Se convirtió en mi lugar favorito los fin de semana. Todo de calidad!! No pensé encontrar un restaurante donde la comida es auténtica peruana.”
“We went for Sunday brunch yesterday and our server was CJ. The bottomless mimosas were served in coup glasses and were plentiful (limit of 5 per person 👍🏻). I had the Huevos Rancheros which were served with breakfast potatoes and the order was big enough to share. The service was quick and thoughtful. I’d definitely recommend Drapers for Sunday brunch. The lunch and dinner menu looked interesting and I’m sure we’ll be back. A corner jewel in old towne Fairfax.”
“The moment you walk in, the environment is so welcoming, fresh, and vibey. It's like you know " this is going to be good". Then you are greeted, and the service was just that much better. She was awesome, super friendly and likeable. Didn't have to wait too long for food, clearly it was made fresh to order because when i got it (chicken ceaser wrap with fries) it was AMAZING. the fries were so perfectly crisp and warm, the wrap was balanced, warm, but not too warm because of the lettuce. Cannot rave enough about my experience, and the food. I'm looking forward to when i can make it back for another meal!”
“This was by far the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. First, when we walked through the door, the man at the counter was so friendly and helpful when it came to asking questions about the menu. We came to find out he was actually the owner. We sat down waiting on our food, and it was hot, fresh, and made to order. The flavor was outstanding! If you get a chance to stop by this spot, you will not be disappointed.”

“It’s a great place for older teen birthday parties and adult work bonding experiences. There’s enough games to make the children feel like children and games for adults to have fun like teenagers. There is also a bar area for adults. Expect it to be loud. So, decide if that’s your scene.”
“After a hard day of work, I went to treat myself to eating Cava - Lee Hwy, I like it because the food is fresh and delicious. When I arrived, I was delighted to see the smiling and friendly staff, but I especially want to thank Diosesis for always giving all customers such a pleasant, smiling and very respectful welcome. Thank you very much for the excellent work you do.”
“Very interesting place and comfortable for sitting and reading, which is what most people were doing. I had to meet a customer in the area to sign documents. As a mobile notary, we found it easy to do that here and enjoy coffee at the same time. Will bring back more customers.

Wondering about the requirement to tip since you're given a beeper and pick up yourself. Also disappointed that there isn't a single vegan food option. Wouldn't it be great if vegans could eat too?”

“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?)”
“I had an amazing experience at Beirut Bites in Fairfax, Virginia! My mom, my sister, and I all tried the shawarma and fries, and everything was absolutely delicious. It was so flavorful, super authentic, and just hit the spot. I had to go back to grab another for my sister back home. Plus, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I can’t wait to go back. I highly recommend this spot!”
“Best Korean bbq I ever had . I love this place and go here every week now. I recommended all my family and friends to go here as well they all love it.

“Absolutely delish! I had the lemon basil crossisnt sandwich with broccoli salad and my daughter had fancy nancy crossisnt sandwich with grape salad. Both of us enjoyed it immensely. Its too bad we were just driving through fairfax and wont be able to go here regularly, I would add this place into my weekly rotation!”
