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

“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.“

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.“

“Having been coming here for the Southern Sparkler for years. Have always stayed with my usuals. One of us order Duck, the other the chicken. Those Gouda potatoes were the bomb. Dinner was a delight. Only disappointment was appetizer. The fried green tomatoes were lack luster. We would avoid them in future.“

“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.

“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.“

“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.

“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 💗“

“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.“

“Service and ambiance were excellent as usual. Tried the special - NY strip since I love the steak frites and short ribs. Should have stuck with regular menu items. Steak was very rough and a little overcooked for med rare. Still one of our faves in FFX City.“

“The restaurant was bustling but not overwhelming, with a warm, family-friendly vibe. Service was attentive and friendly—staff went above and beyond. Portions were generous overall; the cornbread was adorable but small for six, while the jambalaya and turkey pot pie hit the right size. Kids loved the cheeseburger and Mac and cheese (not Kraft!). We’re glad we reserved—tables filled up fast. Parking was easy, though spots were limited. A tiny tip: check the menu for daily specials—they’re worth trying!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Stopped by on a whim. Wanted to watch the football games. The food was amazing, a hybrid of korean/American bar food. The service was on point, Brandon and Samy took care of of me like I was one of the family. Everyone playing pool was soo friendly and there was so many tvs playing the games. Ill definitely be back just for the hospitality and food.“

“Delicious food, Everything Good.“

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

“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“

“Overall, a very decent university, especially for computer science and government-related majors. I had a lot of amazing professors who taught their classes really well, and GMU hosting their career services allowed me to obtain my first part-time job at Fairfax County Government. It's a bit harder to make friends here since this is a commuter school, but still possible. I would highly recommend this university if you are looking to work for the public sector.“

“Good food and service! Recommend“

“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."“
