“Good food, good service. Angelina was very pleasant and did a great job. We made a good choice!“

“That Fresh salad is everything!! All in all, we love Mikes!!“

“A friend and I meet at Theisman's restaurant for lunch quite often. I live in Alexandria and she lives in Warrenton so it's a great middle point. We both love the food and the hostesses and waitstaff are excellent. The atmosphere is nice.. the reason I gave it 4 stars is that the music in there was so loud. We decided to sit on the porch thinking it would be quieter and it was such a beautiful day... unfortunately the music was extremely loud out there too and seemed to increase in volume as we were out there for about 2 hours. I noticed a few other people were saying that it was so loud too. We should have said something to the hostess but we had not seen each other in awhile. Wonderful place, but people do want to be able to talk and hear each other. Hopefully, this will get to the right ears ?“

“Great music on a Friday night!“

“I’ve dined here many times and it is one of my favorite food places. Absolutely amazing sushi everything tastes so fresh and I especially love the miso soup it’s just perfect. The service is great and the workers are very friendly, and the interior looks pretty nice. The smoothies taste really good I especially like the mango tango and their deli sandwiches are good too, I recommend the steak and cheese sandwich.“

“I just had the yummiest french dip sandwich! Tres tres tres délicieux!“

“I stopped by here on my way to a meeting. My hotel had a cheerleading event going on and the free breakfast was so crowded. I pulled up here because it was close. I got the sausage breakfast burrito. It was delicious it had potatoes, eggs, sausage, peppers, onions, and cheese. I pulled into 20 minute parking and I was out in less than 10. Amazing food, fast service, and I won something out of the claw machine in the lobby too. Would have added a photos but I ate my food so fast lol, but I did take a pic of the claw machine and what I win.“

“10/10 every timeee! Secret Garden Cafe always has good stuff and never disappoints. Everything I’ve tried always hits, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is super cute and cozy. Definitely one of those spots I’ll keep coming back to! 🤍“

“We had a terrific time here! The food was delicious from start to finish, but the service really set the experience apart. Our server, Alan, was outstanding—incredibly attentive and proactive. We never even had to ask for drink refills; he anticipated everything we needed before we had to ask. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing gluten free food. Delicious. I thought I would never have onion rings again“

“Anaya is a great waitperson! We really had a great time. she was helpful & has a great personality! Food was great too! Dessert was awesome.We had the bread pudding“

“Clifton Cafe is our new favorite evening spot on the weekends. We’ve been customers since the original owners opened it years ago, but until this past fall we did more to go orders than dine in since the service and time to prep food was often slow and unpredictable. Now we go almost every week. We’ve noticed big improvements since they expanded their kitchen and redesigned the bar area. Their new pull up bar is beautiful and spacious. The new owners and management are great too! We love the evening staff as well, especially Ian and Nicole. They are very personable, accommodating, and attentive. They have great happy hour specials from 3-6 and make the best margaritas and espresso martinis. Some of our favorite dinner items include the crab dip, Mediterranean salad, cuban sandwich, burgers, crab cakes, quiche specials, banana pudding, and too many crepes to name! We also appreciate that they have become more family friendly. We had a last minute party of 14 on a Friday evening (half of which were children ages 1-11) and they didn’t hesitate to pull some tables together in a private nook to accommodate our large group (again thanks to Ian and Nicole). We noticed they finally got a changing table in the large bathroom, which they are about to install. Our kids are past that stage, but there were several times when they were little that a changing table would have been helpful.“

“this was the best experience i had for my birthday and 1st time being here and Timothy was our server and he did an excellent job with his smiles and friendliness and our wonderful bartender Jay zehring was very friendly and kept the smiles going and both were fantastic so whenever you go in greet Timothy and Jay and the drinks were very very good and food was excellent. the whole crew was very friendly and kind and greeted you will lots of smiles and the place is well cleaned and if you have never been to manchester lakes in springfield please do so. i rate them 5 stars 🌟“

“Burtons is such a blessing for those with allergies! Staff are highly trained, and everything is labeled so carefully! Every server has been top notch and the food is amazing!“

“Our first experience here was phenomenal, so the fact that the experience keeps getting better is amazing. The staff is so friendly, welcoming and ensures that you’re satisfied with your food/drinks, but also your experience! It’s always clean, and rarely has a wait time. But when they do; it’s for good reason. This is a place where you can confidently take your kids, pets, and even just by yourself without worry. With present and clearly passionate ownership; it’s always a good vibe where people visibly enjoy their jobs. Even when they are clearly busy and rushing; they always remember your presence and will consistently go above and beyond.“

“I got the spicy chicken sandwich with no pickles, baked Mac and cheese with the banana pudding for dessert. The sandwich with the red sauce 8.8/10 nice healthy pieces of chicken, the Mac and cheese 9.2/10 the top was nice and crispy and the cheese was super creamy. Now the Banana pudding 9.8/10 nice thick pudding not watery at all the wafers were perfect bringing my total score to 27.8/30. the portions are well balanced!! Yeah I plan on returning to try 3 more random items from the menu“

“Pastrami Rueben was awesome!! Great Cole Slaw too!! Definitely recommended!! Thank you our server, Sarah!! A+ service and food.“

“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!“

“I really liked the food, especially the Burger rodeo, the attention was good and I am delighted with the attention I received, the cashier was very kind, Shilynn, I hope, and with the time she continues to attend, the good quality will continue.“

“Excellent evening at the Woodbridge, VA NYAJs yesterday! We were greeted by the manager Usy( I’m not good at names) who was working on clearing tables. We had a couple minute wait for our outside table. There were 3 of us and we ordered drinks and appetizers to share. Desi was our server. She was attentive and cheerful (not annoyingly so). The Bang Bang Shrimp, Potstickers and my favorite Ahi Tuna Wontons were wonderful! Cocktails as well! We all had been regulars up to about 18 months ago as the service was atrocious. So glad NYAJ is back. This is my 2nd visit in a month. Will be back soon. Kudos to the new manager and staff. Keep it up!“

“Delicious food, Everything Good.“

“I have only been here a few times and Josh the Bartender remembers my name each time!!! GREAT BARTENDER!!!“

“America’s Best Wings never disappoints! The wings are always cooked perfectly—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside—and the flavors are on point every single time. The portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff is friendly and fast even when it’s busy. Whether you’re craving classic flavors or something spicy, this is hands down one of the best wing spots around. Highly recommend!“

“Great local bar with good food. Staff are professional and friendly.“

“Great new CHW location to VA! Staff is friendly and food and wine all delish. - @SpicyAivy“

“"I've been coming to this hidden gem for years, and it never disappoints. The owner, Choi, is wonderful—friendly, personable, and incredibly attentive. If you're someone who orders the same thing every visit, she'll likely remember your order by heart. I like to try something different each time, and I've honestly never had a bad meal. The food is consistently excellent, and I've become so hooked that I order lunch from here at least twice a week. Their breakfast is just as amazing and always a great way to start the day. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a delicious breakfast or lunch. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere keep me coming back year after year."“

“The college is very pretty! Hard to find your way around, if you have never been there. Went for the arts and craft fair on November 9th. Wish there would have been signs showing where to go. The art and crafts from the students were nice to see. The painting s/drawings and jewelry were unique!!“

“Niblick is located inside the golf club located on Fort Belvoir Base.
Base access pass is required.
It is a grill restaurant. Table service is not available. Customers order at the counter to takeout but general seating is available. Food is good and prepared fresh. Portion sizes are good. The cost is reasonable. I recommend for quick meal.“

“Bravo! I took my daughter and mother to your Irish feast last night. Everything was incredible from the tartar sauce (no joke), to the seafood pie, corned beef dish, parsnips, Baileys Cream bread pudding, salmon, soda bread, leek soup. It's been on my to do list all year. Finally made it, after trying one of the holiday family feasts to go for the Christmas season. Great job. Pat yourselves on the back. Only thing I would change is mandatory tipping. I'm a great tipper having waitressed in HS and college, but when you have to wait and wait for things and it's a self serve buffet, mandatory tips are disappointing. No motivation to do well. My 75 yo mother said to add, "Nothing was mediocre, which is rare for a buffet. It's as if each dish made just for 'you.' Every dish was the star of the show."“

“I’ve loved Bob and Edith’s for over 15 years. However, this location just took it up a notch. The service was blazing fast. The interior is squeaky clean. However, it was the food that stole the show. My steak omelet and my kid’s B&E Burger were the BEST we’ve had since coming to any Bob and Edith’s. I know this is a new location, but I hope they can keep everything to such a high standard.“

“My waitress Ms. Zafirah was great! She was friendly, courteous and helpful. My good however was a problem. I’m 37 weeks prego. I ordered the trifecta with a pancake. Had to send it back 3 times in order to get hot food. Was not happy about the kitchen service but my waitress was nice.“

“Easy to work with this marina. we can properly and safely work together and get jobs done on time. Customer satisfaction I’d think is 5 stars in my books.“
