“Enroute back to Savannah, GA, my son and I stopped here because IHop is one of my son's favorite spots. They were having issues with their system, but still maintained their professionalism. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. She made sure our orders were correct. I ordered the vegetarian breakfast and my son had the kids silver dollar pancakes. Before I could even ask for a refill, she already was bringing a new glass with our drink. Great spot and excellent service. What more could you want.“

“Short wait, Great service, Good food!“

“This place is a true local gem. Food is of very high quality, and everything is consistently cooked to perfection. Their consistency is actually really impressive - I’ve never been disappointed by a single thing, and I’ve eaten A LOT of their food. But everything is so good, so I haven’t really made my way outside of the same few items from their menu. The difference is that the staff actually care about their customers, and take pride in their food. It’s not so common these days, and is a pleasant surprise. It’s the reason I will always eat there.“

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

“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.“

“Incredible food and atmosphere and service 5 stars all the way“

“Everything was great during our visit! The service was excellent, my dish was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was wonderful.
The only small downside - which doesn’t affect my 5-star review - was the wait time. It took about 35 minutes for our food to arrive.
Still, I definitely recommend this place!“

“Very good food nice atmosphere“

“Places in strip malls really have to work extra hard to make people forget they're in a strip mall, and this place doesn't quite get there. Food was good, not fantastic. The concept of dishes from different cities is not new and gives the impression they're not really skilled at any one thing. (Also cheese curds are yellow, not white, I'm from Wisconsin.) Service was fine. Layout is a little weird, trying to be both a sports bar and a restaurant and it doesn't really have room for both. If I'm in the neighborhood again, would repeat. Won't specifically seek it out.“

“So happy to have found this place. Will definitely return! Excellent food and price! Friendly staff! Thank you 😊

Updating my review ::: we have returned several times and greeted with a friendly welcome, and enjoyed delicious freshly made food! Pro tip::: after your meal check out paradise ice cream for dessert 5 minutes away!“

“This ruby susie's off of old bridge road was excellent.The young lady who served us was courteous thoughtful.Considerate and two steps ahead of us.I can't remember her name, but she had braids.And we sat up front by the window.If that helps. The food was excellent, and she even upsealed a salad bar after dinner by just being kind.
I've been there before, and I'll come back“

“Our party of eight enjoyed our meals. We were there for brunch on Sunday morning and everyone enjoyed their food. The service was great and we didn't have to wait long for our food to be delivered to the table. All food was hot and good. We will definitely be back.“

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

“As always, a lovely quaint place to enjoy a nicer meal. Not flashy, not fancy (per se), but a wonderfully pleasant atmosphere. The food options covered a wide variety of tastes and the specials were seasonally appropriate. They recognized we were celebrating a special occasion, which is always a sweet gesture.“

“Delicious vegan brunch with nice outdoor seating!“

“You dine at Mount Vernon for the experience and the peanut soup. Service was great, food ok. We were on a main traffic way for servers and people being seated in the bar area so noise and distractions were frequent. All said would come back.“

“Overall above average, though not exceptional. Beef dishes (short ribs, filet mignon, and ribeye were ordered at our table) were appropriately cooked and were all excellent. Service/ambiance were rather average for the overall price we paid.“

“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!“

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

“First time guest Oct 28, 2025 lunch time. Great service. Food was so good. I had the Mason pulled pork sandwich with fries. The sandwich was huge. I had to eat a lot of the pork with my fork first to get the sandwich to a reasonable size to bite 😂 the sandwich had slaw, pickles and an onion ring. It was really delicious!! The fries were crispy and not greasy. I’m a fry lover I approved 😜 I really love the atmosphere, decor, design and seating options. Absolutely going back soon!“

“I ordered my breakfast this morning through Uber Eats.My food was still fresh and warm when it was delivered and the portion size was great.The food is scrumptious. I also dine at Dennys in Bailey Crossroads in Falls Church Virginia many of times.I enjoy all there foods.The desserts and cocktails are good also.I highly recommend them!“

“Wonderful Diner, great servers!! Good food. Music way too loud outside… a shame one can’t talk without shouting. I do love Elvis though!!“

“Great food and great prices. WE ARE PENN STATE“

“We were greeted by Luther the 12 foot Halloween decoration when we entered! It was a delight from the moment we opened the door! Service was outstanding. The food was so delicious! I had the bourguignon, the best I've ever tasted! I really appreciated the spacing between the tables and even though the restaurant was full, I could have a nice conversation with my companions. I can't wait to return. This is now my favorite place in the neighborhood!“

“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.“

“We stand with President Gregory Washington!!!!! This school is great for public policy, police academy, cybersecurity, computer science, and other computational sciences. Diversity is a strength. There is also a campus located in South Korea, which can be cheaper for in-state students to attend for a semester there vs domestically. With the current climate I’m even more proud to have gone here. 💚“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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."“

“Borrowing from their words. More than 30 years later, the Silver Diner has gone from a nostalgic American icon serving affordable family food to a highly overrated restaurant serving overpriced food that allegedly reflect’s today’s lifestyles. But the one thing that will never change is the stench of their restrooms throughout the diner.“

“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“
