“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!“

“We 💖 everything. The empanadas are super #delicious and coffee ☕️ as well. It is worth it. #Gracias“

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

“Came for dessert after dinner at the plaza next door, and we got the Red Bean Bingsoo. Love that they use shaved milk, and not shaved ice 🥹 it is on the pricier end for the amount of bingsoo you get (the V-shaped bowl is slightly deceptive), but every bite was worth it.

Saw that there was a self-serve ramen bar, so I’d definitely come back here with friends next time!“

“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!“

“Everything about this place is amazing!“

“A Hidden Gem for Coffee and Sandwich Lovers De Clieu, a charming coffee and sandwich shop tucked away in the heart of Old Town Fairfax has quickly become my go-to spot for a perfect cup of coffee and sandwich when I'm in the area. Coffee and Organic Teas: (5/5) De Clieu's coffee, Organic Tea and drink options are nothing short of exceptional. Their baristas are clearly passionate about their craft, as every cup is brewed with precision and care, from their Drip, French Press, Chemex pour overs and Organic Teas. The espresso is rich and full-bodied, and they offer premium roasted beans and brewing methods to cater to every palate. I've tried their lattes, cappuccinos, teas, and cold brews, and I've never been disappointed. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just enjoy a good cold brew, De Clieu has you covered. Sandwiches Plus: (5/5) The sandwiches, bakery items, and Gelato at De Clieu are a delightful surprise. Made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, each bite is a burst of flavor. I've worked my way through much of their menu, and each creation has been more delicious than the last. From the Spicy Swine and Honey Bread to the inventive vegetarian options, there's something for everyone. The bread is always perfectly toasted, and the combinations of flavors and textures are superb. Overall Impression: (5/5) De Clieu is a coffee and sandwich shop that embodies all the qualities I look for in a great café. It's a place that combines exceptional coffee, delectable sandwiches, sides, and a welcoming atmosphere, all at a price that won't leave your wallet empty. Whether you're a regular looking for your daily caffeine fix or a traveler seeking a local gem, Delieu is the answer. It's clear the owner takes pride in what they do and how they train their team, and it shows in every aspect of their operation. I can't recommend this place highly enough, and I'm excited to see it thrive and become a beloved part of the community. There are ample parking options available in the vicinity as well.“

“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!“

“I was impressed by the amount of cuisine available here. The platters are huge, filled with protein, rice, salad, and fries, and they didn't cost a fortune. The flavors are powerful but not overpowering, and the service was excellent. An excellent choice for a relaxed evening.“

“Ordered the coconut cream cold brew, it is pretty tasty. The station with the napkins, sugars, tops, etc didn't smell good at all, like something was sour. I think it is a bit overpriced for the size of drink you get. Paid $7.15 with nothing added.“

“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!“

“We CAN NOT say enough about Alison and her little team- it’s amazing what creative and scrumptious cakes come out of that little team! We were so pleased with our wedding cake; the flavors, texture, and uniqueness of what she delivered! The cake received rave reviews from all our guests & it was just stunning! Alison further accommodated our distant guests who joined us via Zoom and helped us send them some goodies and treats via a celebration box! Further, she even recommended our caterer and helped calm some anxious nerves about the dynamics of planning a wedding during a world pandemic! I can NOT recommend this little bake shop enough; Alison will be our go to baker for all our cake needs! PS- we highly recommend the funfetti with yuzu blackberry buttercream, and raspberry filling! Will post a picture of her gorgeous creation when received from our equally as amazing photographer!“

“Great place to hang out with friends!“

“This place is a little slice of heaven in Fairfax, VA, not too far from DC. It's a combination of a high-quality Asian street food bistro with a well-curated craft beer taproom and bottle shop. The fresh ingredients that clearly went into the dishes is respectable. Sunny-side instead of scrambled eggs with the fried rice is novel and scrumptious. The presentation of the pot stickers as a giant fried pancake you must turn over or crack apart like a savory Crème brûlée to access the dumpling goodness underneath was fun, if a bit greasy. The beer selection is outrageously good. Highly recommend. And get some beer to go! Clothing and glassware merch in supply, but no stickers.“

“It’s pronounced Playa not Player ! Lol
Latin for bowl. Just saying that because I heard someone mispronounce it. Look I’m a big fan Açai bowls and smoothies rather than ice cream. I definitely feel better as a dad giving them organic açai antioxidants and has such a cool story from its beach side start up.
Seating is limited however, if you do happen to score a outside table with a huge umbrella, you’ll be lucky to people watch during the busy mosaic weekends. Additionally, I’ve had the cold brew and it’s pretty strong nothing fancy just strong caffeine.“

“Best and only genuine soft ice cream in the DMV. Love to support a local business, too.“

“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.“

“Want to thank Common Wealth for having a super amazing barista, Brooke. Im always sad at the last sip of my coffee. (You guys have great beer too!!) Until my next coffee visit!!!“

“Food is delicious and atmosphere feels very homey. This is a great casual Korean restaurant. Service is good. It’s a great spot for kimbop, bibimbop, or noodle dishes. The pictures I took were after we started eating already - portions are very generous!

Parking: Big strip mall parking lot“

“The food is delicious and the staff is friendly.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is by far the best meal I’ve had in the DMV area!! The restaurant is a cute, intimate spot that makes you feel like you’re a guest at someone’s home. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Our meal was heavenly, I got the panko breaded chicken with angel hair (I typically order seafood out and this exceeded my expectations by a mile). My boyfriend got the strip steak which was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The green beans with it were even amazing! We didn’t have room, but we got the white chocolate apple bread pudding because it sounded too good…was as great as the rest of the meal! This will definitely be our new go to spot and it was extremely affordable! I couldn’t believe the menu prices and more so now that I know the amazing quality this spot offers!! Can’t wait to try brunch!“

“We stopped in here for a quick bite because we were at this building for something else. Although the selections are limited, the food is fresh and tasty. We want to return and have some of their other offerings. Staff was friendly, fast and helpful.“

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

“The food is great here! I’ve been a couple of times now and never had a bad meal. The sandwiches are delicious and the pizza is amazing. Really good selection of beers too!“

“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!“

“Super friendly staff and yummy food ;)“

“Simply the best hotel I ever stayed“

“A great Sushi restaurant. Must try ,! Delicious food, nicely decorated clean and very friendly service. Many different choices. Can not wait to go back.“

“Amazing flavors and quality with great customer service… all at reasonable prices!“

“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.“

“2 Slobbery thumbs up! Millie enjoys!“

“Baskin-Robbins was great. We've been here a few times before. Last night was a great experience. The two people working were very friendly and helpful. The ice cream was amazing! I had a Brownie Sundae that was one of the best, if not the best I've ever had. We sat in the car to eat because it is still too cold outside, but there were clean tables inside and out. I will definitely be back here soon! Thanks!

Parking: Parking was easy. There are a dozen or more spaces. We had no problems and have been here when it was busy without problems too.“

“Ordered takeout last night. Everything was delicious! Wish we lived closer!“

“I really enjoy coming here for breakfast. Keep meaning to try lunch.“

“We tried Pho Kim and the Kim rice platter, both were very delicious. This restaurant has a pleasant ambience and the service is top-notch. We'll be back soon to try other dishes.“

“Many thanks to Max and everyone at Ornery Public House in Fairfax City for helping my wife give me a great party.“

“If you are a fan of Korean-style wings, this place is an absolute must-try. Easily one of the best spots around for flavorful, crispy wings, this cozy Korean restaurant delivers both taste and atmosphere.

The Honey Garlic Wings are a personal favorite—perfectly crispy, sweet, and savory with just the right amount of garlic kick. I also tried the Onion Snow, which was unique and satisfying, adding a creamy twist to the classic wing experience.

The ambiance is warm and inviting—great for a casual soju night or quality time with a close friend. The staff are friendly and attentive, though they often seem a bit rushed—likely due to being short-staffed. Despite that, service remains respectful and efficient.“

“Good to see a business support the local Fire Departments and they have superb tasty subs....“

“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 tea. Good flavors. Friendly staff.“

“Love it here fantastic beautiful food Attentive staff A delight“

“I’ve been there many many times before and they have always been amazing! Yesterday was a perfect example of their service. There were dogs and toddlers everywhere. And no matter the chaos, the wait staff made everyone at every table feel comfortable and welcomed! I don’t remember our waitress but she was amazing! Along with everyone else who works there“

“Might actually be better than Cava. The chicken chicken which was recommended to me by the server was better than I had thought. Super filling!

Just a heads up if you chose a signature plate they will make it without any additional inquiries. I thought I was being ignored after suggesting it but she was speeding along and I was an idiot assuming the worst.

Utensils are near the entrance doors along with napkins, grabs one since they aren't placed in the bag for to gos, or at least not for mine.“

“The employees there are THE BEST!

Today was the snow blizzard, and they were the only shop in Mosaic open at 7am (I don'tknow what time they opened), at least that's what I saw. Greeted me with a warm smile.

While many people were snuggling at home, these amazing people were there even though the roads were very bad and beautiful snow everywhere.

And, it seemed that they weren't angry or even bothered for being at work during such bad weather. They were at work providing a warm smile with a delicious hot coffee and treating me as if I was a long-time friend!

One of the employees told me she had been out enjoying the snow and then went to work. I am so proud to meet people like her. She knows how to enjoy life while maintaining her high work ethics. PURELY AMAZING!

To all the employees... YOU ROCK!“

“Great food clean location definitely enjoyed my birthday today and the food was impressive and plentiful ❤️“

“Recently stopped and had a beef tongue sandwich....tender and delicious.“
