50 Best American Restaurants near Lorton

“IHOP is a good place to eat breakfast/brunch. I came into this IHOP thinking it was a bad place to eat breakfast at, I was wrong today was a good day to eat IHOP. I walked in here to think the lowest expectations but every one here was so friendly from the start, then we got our food and I was just amazed. We got stuff off of the value meals and my first thought was it’s going to be terrible because it was only 6$ but I was just surprised it was so good.“

“First visit - 5 stars! ⭐️ Great selection, Delicious food, Excellent waitress!“

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

“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!!“

However, what took our visit over the top was our server, Katie! I cant remember the last time we have had such excellent customer service! The recommendations for meals and drinks she provided was top-notch and her hospitality and conversation were next level! She is the reason my husband and I will continue to return!“

“Great spot in the middle of a sea of places to eat. Stopped by for happy hour snacks and left super full. The drink selections were fantastic, especially if you’re into Whiskey. Lots of tables mean you’ll always have a seat. We were lucky to have an amazing sever Elias who had a lot of personality and checked on us all the time and not in the “time to flip a table” you’ll see in other places. Definitely a must visit!“

“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.“

“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.“

In addition, they had a wonderful gluten-free chocolate cake, dessert it was not sorbet like everybody else tries to serve you. I would definitely recommend“

“What a hidden gem in Fairfax! We absolutely loved Kelly’s Oyster House & Bar. The building itself has so much character and gives you that cozy, old-school neighborhood feel that is getting harder and harder to find.
The food was fantastic, and the oysters were fresh and beautifully served. The menu has a great selection of seafood and specials, but whatever you order, do not leave without dessert! Their dessert selection is wonderful, and the Hula Pie was AMAZING , easily one of the highlights of our meal.
Great food, great atmosphere, and a place with real personality. Kelly’s feels like one of those local spots you’re excited to discover and immediately want to tell other people about. We will definitely be back!“

“Troy took the best care of us and the food was so delicious I can’t say enough about it. I had the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and greens. I wish we had this in Oklahoma 💗“

“Was looking forward to trying The Wine House. Read great reviews and Restaurant Week seemed a good way to sample the menu. We were pleasantly greeted by the hostess. The place is cute and casual, tho the food more upscale. Our food was very good, tho my spouse thought the lamb shank was dry. The chicken piccata was a different presentation - whole chicken breast in more of a light creamy sauce. Both entrees would have benefitted from a touch of salt. Our appetizers and desserts were very good.
Despite reading many reviews about great customer service and education about wine pairings and such, we received none of that. Our server was more going through the motions, offered no explanations when we said it was our first time here, no wine or food recommendations. He seemed rather distracted. The table next to us received the wrong bill.
Maybe our expectations were too high for a more engaging experience.
Still worth trying the place out.“

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

“This place was a quick find for our first American restaurant experience in the States after being away for four years.

Here’s my take on this restaurant from a European perspective. The portions are huge and the menu is plentiful. The service was amazing and prompt. Our waitress Pía was exceptionally personable and helpful. On weekends they serve brunch, which was lovely. The waffles and syrup in the chicken and waffles complemented one another perfectly. However, the chicken was less than tasty. It lacked flavor that even the syrup couldn’t supplement. The dinning area is huge and has an inviting feel.

Overall, the meal was good but lacked in some areas. The price for lunch/brunch floored me: $114 for a family of four! That’s a little too steep for this dad. Nevertheless, the experience was fun and the dinning was great for our first meal back.“

“We enjoyed it—it tastes very similar to original chicken. However, it feels a bit pricey for the size of the sandwich. It would be great if the portions were slightly larger to better match the cost. The atmosphere is pleasant and comfortable, and we plan to come back to try more items on the menu.“

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

“The staff is fantastic. Steve & Kendall gave great customer service“

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

“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!!!“

“"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."“

“One of my favorite places to eat, always nice, quick, & great tasting food ?“

“I’ll start by saying Gerson, our server, was so sweet and genuine and gave us excellent service. The spicy margs were everything they needed to be and more. The salmon on my salmon salad was greatttt. Perfectly cooked. Say outside with my dog and appreciated the doggy menu and water bowl.“

“Good food and service! Recommend“

“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.“

“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.“

“Been here so many time service is good but the FOOD is top quality“

“Meaza was absolutely terrific! She made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. Her warmth, friendliness, and attentiveness made our entire dining experience exceptional.

She is truly one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had. She anticipated our needs, checked on us at just the right times, and made us feel like valued guests throughout the meal.

Outstanding customer service like hers is rare. She is a tremendous asset to your restaurant and someone who should absolutely be training other staff members.

Thank you, Meaza, and iHop for making our visit such a memorable one!.
