23 Best American Restaurants in Fairfax

“I love the food and great service!👍♥️“

“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!“

“Incredible. Delicious. Wow.
One must eat their slice on site. I took the create 8 slices which was great. BUT the slice I ate there was beyond spectacular. The crispy delicate crust was lost at home compared to my experience at Andy's. Reheating pizza is an art, but there as something special at the restaurant. My first experience with Andy's but I already have favorites:
#1 - pepperoni
#2+ - mushroom & onion and the white.
I also purchased the Albe Barolo 2022 and enjoyed at home. Very berry, light, and did not disappoint. Paired well with the pizza!
Made my Friday night dinner easy and delicious. I highly recommend Andy's!“

“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.“

“Great, go to place for consistent service and quality food!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Service and ambiance were excellent as usual. Tried the special - NY strip since I love the steak frites and short ribs. Should have stuck with regular menu items. Steak was very rough and a little overcooked for med rare. Still one of our faves in FFX City.“

“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.“

“We ate on the wraparound porch and it was lovely. Our server was attentive and knew the menu well and the food was excellent I’m gluten-free and being able to have a gluten-free meatloaf was a huge treat for For me. In addition, they had a wonderful gluten-free chocolate cake, dessert it was not sorbet like everybody else tries to serve you. I would definitely recommend“

“Amazing food great atmosphere and they except reservations“

“What a hidden gem in Fairfax! We absolutely loved Kelly’s Oyster House & Bar. The building itself has so much character and gives you that cozy, old-school neighborhood feel that is getting harder and harder to find.
The food was fantastic, and the oysters were fresh and beautifully served. The menu has a great selection of seafood and specials, but whatever you order, do not leave without dessert! Their dessert selection is wonderful, and the Hula Pie was AMAZING , easily one of the highlights of our meal.
Great food, great atmosphere, and a place with real personality. Kelly’s feels like one of those local spots you’re excited to discover and immediately want to tell other people about. We will definitely be back!“

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

“We sat at the bar and really enjoyed the food, ambience and service. Our bartender, Adam, was great. He was very professional and clearly takes pride in what he does. My husband is a bar manager and can attest to how great he is. Give Adam a raise!“

“Nice placê, wonderful food!“

“My wife and I brought the kids here after spending the day in State College. It was excellent. Fresh food, good prices (kids eat free with a regular purchase). Will definitely be back!“

“As every other Sunday, great family time …“

“homey“

“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.“

“Overall, a very decent university, especially for computer science and government-related majors. I had a lot of amazing professors who taught their classes really well, and GMU hosting their career services allowed me to obtain my first part-time job at Fairfax County Government. It's a bit harder to make friends here since this is a commuter school, but still possible. I would highly recommend this university if you are looking to work for the public sector.“

“My husband and I were quite hungry so stopped by Freddy's in Fairfax today. The girl at the restaurant was very helpful and friendly, answering all of our questions, and helping us with modifying our sandwiches. It was all very yummy. I especially loved the tots! Oh, and we each had a turtle sundae. Yum!!!“

“We really like Denny's service and food at a good price. Indira, a server, make suggestions for the great pancakes. I think the strawberry ones were over the top. It is a family restaurant that is really friendly. Good menu for any time of the day.“
