26 Best American Restaurants in Fairfax

“Amazing food great atmosphere and they except reservations“

“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.“

“If you're in Fairfax, don't miss Andy's Pizza! Their delicious pies are always fresh, with a perfect crust and flavorful toppings. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal. Whether you're dining in or taking out, Andy's Pizza never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Service was attentive and helpful. We were seated quickly. Drinks came quickly. Food was well prepared. We each had an appetizer. The NY strip tostinos were outstanding. The NY strip melted in my mouth. The Caprese salad was the other appetizer and was a nice riff on a traditional standard. My wife had the salmon salad. The salmon was cooked just right and wasn't overpowered. The greens were fresh. I had the pork which was done medium, juicy and flavorful. Loved the potatoes and vegetables. I had the Hamrock cookie for dessert which was properly decadent. My wife had the berries and cream which was, if possible, even better. All told, a great lunch - as always at Hamrock.“

“I love my job! Highly recommend our food, awesome happy hour and we definitely have great drinks“

“Came in after getting a 20% off. Food was great. Kitchen was fast. Our server isn't a great fit for the job though. While they did the basics they were too quiet and somewhat inattentive. We would have ordered more drinks if only they had asked.“

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

“buena atención buena calidad de comida y bebida para todos los gustos 👌“

“Pan AM Family Restaurant gets all stars from me. Their meals, especially their Gyro platters and sandwiches are the best across the State. I have eaten there many times with my family and friends, and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend the delicious food, fantastic atmosphere and especially the detail to service and smiles. It’s worth every dollar and you will leave happy, full and wanting to come back. Great job !! Great Food !! Great Service !!“

“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.“

“As every other Sunday, great family time …“

“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!“

“I went with a friend I haven't seen in a while, we had a blast. We were served by Pia and she was awesome, she already told me her shifts and i am coming to see her again. She helped us with our drinks that were delicious. We sat outside and enjoyed the 80's music that we loved so much! We shared de Buddha Bowl Salad which is very good, and very well served.“

“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.“

“I’m from South Carolina and this place can compete with the restaurants in Charleston!!!! Try it. You’ll love it!“

“Could not say enough great things about this place! Only regret is my wife and I didn't come to this place sooner, so we will 100% come back. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff and the menu was amazing; I had a hard time choosing what to eat. If you like wine and food, come here!“

“This place is one of our favorite, regular go-to’s. I’ve been coming here since they opened; the owner of V5 opened this restaurant, and it has the same “Cheers”-type feel. The building used to be a bank, so they turned the ATM drive-through area into a patio with a garage door that can be open in the summer and closed in the winter. There is a plethora of TVs for all the sports your heart desires. On the weekends, they have live DJs/music. All of the clientele are kind and polite. My favorite two people are the Asst GM, Walter, who is a wonderful family man who dotes over his son, who plays football, and the stunningly gorgeous and attentive Bartender/Supervisor, Elena, who has the best personality! You’d be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t swing by for a happy hour or sports game!“

“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.“

“We had a large party of 12, and they were able to accommodate us on short notice. Our server Derek was incredible! Very patient with an exhausted group of people that he probably could have become a little irritated with—definitely carried himself as a professional. It was a wonderful atmosphere with quick service, highly recommend.“

“The food was good. It was a bit confusing that they had two different pick-up spots for the food and ice cream. It was very busy so I couldn't even see that there was another counter. Seating was very limited. I had to walk around lots of people to get to anything. I don't know if I would bother eating in again of it was busy, but the food and ice cream were worth going back to pick up.“

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