New American Restaurants near Great Falls, VA

“Great place! We had a large birthday party for my husband this past weekend. The food, wine, and set up indoors and outdoors made it such a special celebration. Many people said it was the best food that they have had at a party. It was amazing!“

“I was in Tyson for work at the mall and decided to stop by 52. Hands down, the best filet mignon I’ve had in a long time. Perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor.
Do not skip the mashed potatoes — absolutely the best I’ve ever had. 10/10.
The service at the bar was outstanding. Professional, attentive, and welcoming.
I’ll be back every time I’m in Tyson. Highly recommend.“

“My favorite place to dine at Rio. This place is always packed, so pack some patience if you have to wait. I enjoy their house beers- especially the House IPA, House Lager and House Golden Pilsner. For appetizers, can’t go wrong with their poke nachos, probably their signature dish. Other favorites are their wings and Jumbo pretzels.

The menu is huge so there is something for everyone. My favorites are the Lobster Garlic Noodles, Stacked Turkey Club, Cobb salads and cheesesteak.

Their happy hour deals are pretty good. They do have a waitlist you can join on their app. Hard to believe this used to be a Romano’s Macaroni Grill.“

“The restaurant is surrounded by nature. The staff is friendly, polite, and professional. The menu offers high-quality and original "fine dining" dishes.“

“Had an amazing dinner at The Simon. The restaurant looks beautiful with a great bar and interior. The drinks were excellent—we tried the Veranda and Lake Anne Smoke cocktails. The Carolina Gold Rice Risotto was my favorite. Great service and a wonderful experience overall.“

“The restaurant is beautifully modern yet cozy, just a touch loud and the washrooms are quite dimly lit. Nathalie was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a great meal. She even comped us a dessert since we were celebrating our anniversary. Definitely recommend!“

“For lunch, I ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad, featuring fresh tuna sashimi served with seaweed salad, avocado, arugula, and shrimp roe, all drizzled with a savory sauce and topped with refreshing diced cucumber. The dish was absolutely perfect!

My partner ordered the Maui Pineapple Chicken, which was also quite delicious. The dining environment was very comfortable, and the staff were friendly. Highly recommended!“

“What a special place to have a meal! Fantastic food and service. Fair pricing and simply exquisite food for dinner or weekend brunch. Staff is really knowledgeable and kind, always love coming to this restaurant. Also, it’s nice that it is a well lit dining area and not too loud to have conversations in. Great spot.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

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

“So happy to have Red’s within walking distance of my house. We recently took a group of friends there and were lucky to get the private room. Great food and service! Tried their oysters for the first time and they were really good.“

“I've been going to the Silver Diner in Reston for over 15 years. Food is always good, new items added to menu seasonally, staff are real folks who are easy to talk with and joke with as well. You get a sense of "family" when you are there as staff and customers interact. Servers are fun people and make your day. Today was Rubia's day and she is special. Come out and see for yourself.“

“The branzino was fresh and deliciously prepared. The accompanying bread was freshly baked. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We had an amazing time at Circa! Our only regret was not coming sooner! The beignets & shotgun shrimp were amazing! Every entree we had was delicious! Steak & eggs, shrimp & grits, hot honey chicken & waffles, southern chicken benedict & the nutella french toast were all amazing! For cocktails the So Fresh & So Green was the overall fav! We will definitely be back! We were too busy celebrating & having a great time to snap pics but I got 1!“

“Food was awesome! Atmosphere was warm! Wait staff extremely attentive. We LOVE that it is farm to table, they have their own bee hives and grow their own herbs! Menu was unique and the octopus appetizer was SO crazy good!“

“Wonderful food and service. We all had different dinners off the menu. The French onion soup was some of the best I had. We walked in and were met with smiles and seated fast with no reservations.“

“My favorites are the crabcakes, bbq ribs and the coleslaw! Beautiful,welcoming atmosphere always.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I have always had great experiences at Bear Branch Tavern, but today I had Ash and Maria as my server and bartender. They were fantastic. I could not recommend them enough. Every time I go back I am going to try and get Ash as my server. 10/10 experience, 10/10 food. Will definitely be back.“

“We went to the restaurant down at the wharf….. To start, the hostess at the front was on her phone and not really paying any mind to the people walking in the door. Come to find out after that was the floor manager. Then we get sat and none of the workers talk about who is in charge of that section. We did. It get me is or silverware. The very nice bartender comes up, gets us some water and menus gets us started and finally the sever comes over to us. The server took our order and checked on us twice. When the food was brought to the table we still didn’t have silverware and had to ask the food runner. Our server had a a ten top when we arrived and she was checking on her the whole time not paying any mind to the other tables she has. It was to the point I had to go up to someone ask for water refill bc both our glasses were empty. We finish our meals that were very good and no one but the bartenders are on the floor. I see our sever walk over to the restroom, she comes out looks at us and sees that we are sitting doing nothing, then walks over to a new 10 top and disappears. It’s at thing point I now have to walk over to the bartender and get our check and they are the ones that cash us out. Thank you to the bartender that took care of us“

“Double cabernet burger is the best!!!! Cabernet smothered patties, white cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, worcestershire mayo, tomato, potato bun with crispy fingerling potatos on the side. #foodbuster #burgerkingthings #doyoubelieve I DO!!!!!“

“Matchbox used to be one of my favorite restaurant chains. Now that it's owned by some big corporate company, it sucks. The drinks and food are expensive at the Mosaic location. and there for very few people there. It used to have such a great vibe; it was always full of people at the tables and the bar. please bring back the original owners!“

“First visit today for my birthday lunch and loved the vibe and the food!“

“Great food and service. Only negatives were parking and they were out of the 2 deserts we wanted. Parking lot is way too small, but not much they can do about it. Had to park down the road and walk. Service was excellent and food was great.“

“awesome stuff was awesome good wine love ronin“

“Great local great food , gotta go early, sadly don't take reservations“

“I’m in love with the Ellote street corn they have it down“

“Takeout has its limitations. Tonight we ordered burgers and a pizza. They forgot the pizza and by the time it arrived the burgers were stone cold and the fries a soggy pile of grease. I want to support DFH but if it happens again, I'll wait until indoor dining resumes.“

“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!“

“Great place with great food and a good atmosphere“

“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.“

“Best cappuccino around! Perfect for business meetings“

“A very chic and dainty cafe! The owner is very welcoming, and kind! It’s easy to miss because it’s built right next to a commercial building. My husband and I came here after our doctors appointment. Unfortunately I couldn’t stay to have my breakfast there because the doctors called me back to their office— once I was able to eat the food, it was perfect! The tea I ordered was hot and strong. I ordered a breakfast burrito with tofu as my protein, hash browns and my husband ordered a breakfast burrito with turkey bacon as his protein. Deff worth every penny! I love a good mom’s and pops cafe that it welcome, calming and enjoyable! This is it!“

“I stopped in for a quick drink and ended up staying longer than planned, much thanks to the incredible service from the bartender, Adrienne. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel welcome with a genuine smile and easygoing conversation.

What stood out most was her pleasant demeanor—friendly without being overbearing, and always approachable. It’s clear she enjoys what she does, and that energy adds so much to the atmosphere. I was unsure of what to order and asked her to surprise me with a drink made with rum and she did not disappoint. Adrienne handled the bar effortlessly and I will be back!“

“As other reviews said, it’s in an office building, but if you’re from the area you know all the best delis are in office buildings! This place is a gem though! The sandwiches are amazing. It’s so obvious when a place takes pride and joy in what they do, and that’s this deli. Best Rueben! Crispy griddle fried bread and the correct amount of sauerkraut. I will be back anytime I have to go to Inova (8 minutes away). It’s very also close to 66. Very kind people working there and the free tea and soup were an added bonus. These people clearly love what they do. I missed delis like this when I moved away. Very glad to have found one worth stopping at!“

“Good food. Not kid friendly“

“We hosted a happy hour there, staff are super fun and nice, food is awesome, cocktail is really good!“

“I was hesitant to stop here because I wanted a sit down restaurant for breakfast, however I am very glad I did!! I ordered Breakfast #1 (2 eggs, meat, potatoes and toast) for $6.99 and devoured the eggs before I thought to take a pic.
Very clean. Ladies behind counter are very nice. Food was excellent. Will be coming back if in Fairfax.“

“Cool place to eat and drink!“

“The food appears... lesser quantity than in DC. The biscuits were smaller, and harder. I saw no bacon. The sausage (pork or chicken) was not "week done" as with the DC restaurant. Also there wasn't any shrimp. I got there at 9:am, and was told reservations were needed. So I Sat at the bar. Def a 3.5 rating on food here“

“Fantastic food and fellowship with some amazing scientists and staff from NIH/NCI this Holiday season. 🎄🍭😊“

“Food and wine are never a fail. This is my spot.“
