“Very good Dessert , and Rana is a very Sophisticated and respectful person. Finally, I can eat delicious sweets without flying to a very far place. Thank you Rana“

“Super friendly staff and excellent beer!“

“Good atmosphere, nice and quiet.

Bartender was nice, very kind gentleman from the area. Knew his history, worked there awhile, and works tirelessly to serve your brew.

More people should know about this joint. It is so ready to accept new customers and offers an environment I would find exceptionally rare in the Fairfax area; a sense of calm and peace from all the loud noisy scenes!“

“First time visit and it was great! The food was fantastic (best French fries ever) and the staff was very nice and friendly. I will be back!“

“The Tropical Smoothie Cafe in Lorton offers such a wonderful and positive experience. The staff, especially Evelyn, Tesla, and Sheila are friendly and efficient. They all put forth “ over the top effort” to make your food exactly the way you like it. I love the way they make my Mocha Madness. It is so creamy, flavorful and thick. When I go away for a few weeks, I immediately make my way back to this TSC the day after I get back. I so enjoy purchasing the freshly made Chicken Thai Salad. I can’t say enough good things about the staff, their efficiency, friendliness and knowledge. The cafe is kept clean. I have watched them keep the entire area clean where they are preparing our food, and cleaning the equipment. I have gone in early and seen them preparing for the day. It is quite a united effort. Again, the cafe is clean and has a nice atmosphere. I highly recommend everyone visit this Tropical Smoothie location in Lorton if you are nearby or even if you are not. Make your way there. I have passed other TSC locations just to come here.“

“Excellent Pho every time. Friendly staff.“

“Kind & helpful staff, delicious variety of drinks & pastries.“

“Very excellent customer service and food was amazing.“

“Freshly prepared, delicious, authentic Turkish cuisine. Highly recommended.“

“Not sure how to graciously ask this question, but I am usually taken back when I see foodies without prices on their menu. It makes me think those preparing the menu may be arrogant to believe that price means nothing to patrons. Price matters. Are foods and drinks priced too high to be transparent? Are all patrons so well off that price to them really does not matter? I will sometimes pass over a place if they hide their prices, just because there are so many others that do not hide them. The atmosphere just by itself deserves a reluctant visit.“

“The food is always great quality and top notch in flavor! The staff is friendly and helpful while the restaurant is clean and inviting. If you’re looking for a good BBQ meal, I would highly recommend giving Mission BBQ a try! They also have an amazing catering menu that is perfect for any event or gathering.“

“Delicious food and the wait staff is fabulous!“

“Absolutely extraordinary! Courtside Thai Cuisine is a gem in the heart of Fairfax, VA. From the moment you step inside, you're embraced by a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the aromatic allure of authentic Thai cuisine. The food is a culinary masterpiece, each dish a symphony of flavors harmoniously blending together. The Pad Thai is a revelation, with perfectly cooked noodles and a balance of sweet, sour, and savory that dances on the palate. The Green Curry is another star, its richness and depth of flavor truly showcasing the art of Thai cooking. Service here is impeccable. The staff are attentive, friendly, and go above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of perfect. They are knowledgeable about the menu and more than willing to accommodate any dietary preferences or modifications. But what truly sets Courtside Thai Cuisine apart is the ambiance. The decor is elegant yet cozy, providing an ideal backdrop for both casual dinners and special occasions. It's a place where every meal feels like a celebration. In a world full of dining options, Courtside Thai Cuisine stands out as a beacon of culinary excellence and hospitality. It's not just a meal; it's an experience, a journey through the vibrant, flavorful landscapes of Thailand. A true Fairfax treasure, I can't recommend it highly enough! 5 stars all the way!“

“I had the black noodles, galbi and the spicy beef stew, and these dishes were outstanding. The galbi was perfectly marinated—sweet, savory, and grilled to tender perfection with just the right amount of char. Every bite was juicy and full of flavor.

The spicy beef stew (yukgaejang) was equally impressive. Rich, hearty, and packed with shredded beef, vegetables, and just the right level of heat. It had that deep, comforting flavor that warms you from the inside out. The broth was addictive, and the portion was generous.

Great service, cozy atmosphere, and authentic Korean flavors. This place is a must-visit for Korean food lovers! A great place for authentic, hearty Korean meal.“

“The food was fantastic, service was also fantastic. Would recommend this great place to anyone! Thank you, and you will be seeing me again!“

“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“

“I saw the street sign and gave them a try. I got a Crispy Chicken Sandwich with 5pcs Hot BBQ wings. The sandwich loaded with delicious crispy chicken. I loved it. Wings were fresh and taste was very good. Their prices are cheaper than other places in Alexandria. I will be back again.“

“After hearing of Bunnyman for months, I decided to hit it up with a few friends on a Friday night. It did not disappoint at all. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is serene with great music. The music volume is perfect too so you can still socialize without having to shout. My favorite amenities though, are the self-pour feature, the diversity of beer flavors, and the ease of paying. The taps are really easy to use and to keep track of how much your bar tab is accumulating. On top of that, you don't have to wait at all for a refill- just head on up to the tap and pour, amazing system! The Irish Red beer was my go-to, and it was very pleasing to see that on tap when it's not actually Oktoberfest season, (I can never seem to find it most times of the year). We will all definitely be back, as well as looking forward to visiting their Lorton location! Keep up the great work and the awesome selection of beers, mad props!“

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

“Best mocha ever.. we love going to the Swiss bakery for treats ❤️❤️“

“Pet friendly! Great bier! Staff is always most awesome!“

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

“Love the Springfield location. It’s cozy and the crepes are to die for, so are the fresh cookies. You cannot go wrong with any choice off of the menu.“

“I recently visited Makchang Dodok K-BBQ, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. They made us feel right at home, walking us through the menu and offering helpful suggestions for first-timers. You can tell they really care about creating a great experience for their guests.

The service was fast and efficient without feeling rushed. Our server kept checking in to make sure everything was cooked to our liking and that our drinks and side dishes were always full. It’s rare to find such a friendly and professional team at a busy restaurant, and they truly stood out.

As for the food—delicious! The meats were fresh and flavorful, and the signature makchang (beef or pork intestine) was perfectly prepared with that satisfying char. If you’re a fan of authentic Korean BBQ, this place delivers both in taste and atmosphere.

Highly recommend for a casual night out, a group dinner, or anyone looking to try something new with excellent service to match. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Love this place! The staff is incredibly wonderful. Always so sweet and helpful. Always willing to answer questions, offer suggestions, and improvise when needed. Been multiple times and have always had a great experience. They also work their butts off keeping the orders cranking out. We have a gluten allergy and dairy allergy in our family so they are always helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating when we order. The space is adorable. You can feel the vibe that is a kind, loving, community space.“

“If you’re looking for a sweet treat that’s guaranteed to impress, Nothing Bundt Cakes is a must. Their cakes are always incredibly moist, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. Whether it’s a celebration or just a craving, there’s something special about the combination of that signature cream cheese frosting and the perfectly baked bundt cake. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the store has such a warm, welcoming vibe. I can’t recommend it enough—every bite is happiness!“

“Great job with the quesadilla regarding my dietary restrictions.“

“I ordered for pickup so I was only able to experience in atmosphere for a short period. The dan dan noodles is one of the best that I have had in the US. The only other one that I had that was better was when I lived in China. I wish they had a location back in Boston.

If you are wondering if you should give this place a try, it is a 1000% yes!“

“We recently attended a wedding reception of a dear friend at Aslin and I have to say my wife (Old Town Flower Gal) and I were very impressed by their team and attention to detail. Courtney who assisted us in setting up for this reception did a fantastic job and was so very kind, always willing to help and go above and beyond to make sure the even went off without any issues. Great work Aslin Beer Company (oh your beer is pretty great too!). Highly recommended.“

“The best Vietnamese food hands down! When I’m in the area I always have to stop by Le Bledo to get a banh mi and a soup. The consistent quality and attention to detail is what makes this place great. I know what to expect so I’m always satisfied with my food from the fresh baked daily bread to the variety of Vietnamese classic soups such as pho, bun bo hue, and bun rieu 😋 10/10 highly recommend and bring a friend!“

“Food is always great. Last visit Jenna waited on us. Such an attentive, personable professional. She made the meal a pleasure.“

“Great steak and cheese. Great fries.“

“This establishment is outstanding and the service is exemplary. Jenn our bartender was attentive and on point. Highly recommend!“

“The food is outstanding! All made fresh and so delicious. Family owned and very friendly. The calamari was perfectly cooked and had a beautiful dusting as opposed to a heavily breaded crust. The grilled octopus was tender and flavorful. We’ve sat both outside in the relaxing courtyard and inside the casual restaurant. This restaurant beats the food at Old Town’s Greek restaurants. Highly recommend this place!!“

“A hidden gem of a restaurant! Incredible portions (prices matched the quality and serving sizes 👏), family-friendly staff that were incredibly attentive, and we left feeling full and content. Every dish was delicious, we will definitely be back 😀“

“Great people! Great variety of flavors!“

“Great time was had by all!“

“We will definitely return! Totally were pleased to see a great outdoor area close to kayaking. Service couldn't be better. Delivery was unexpectedly quick! The popcorn shrimp was ample and so well seasoned. The hot pretzel came out overcooked and too hard, but they were so accommodating with a replacement, and didn't ask for it, but they refunded us for the inconvenience. Totally unnecessary, but the thoughtfulness and friendliness caught our attention and is a large reason we'll continue to patronize them. Also, I could definitely bring home a large dish of the cucumber salad -- so refreshing and tasty! Hope there's a fall/winter plan to keep it open. We noticed there were individual fire pits/tables. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Had the Spicy Pork Lunch box and it was absolutely delicious! The pork was incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. The rice was cooked perfectly and the sides were crisp and fresh. The staff were friendly and attentive and the price was very reasonable. If you are ever in the area, I heartily recommend Korean Grill!“

“Absolutely delicious food -- had the Chicken over Rice Bowl with everything on it -- didn't know what I was getting into, but it was phenomenal. I stopped by randomly after driving by and seeing bright lights in an empty parking lot at 8/9PM on a Wednesday night. Only thing I didn't like -- absolutely BLARING loud music (drake) that I could barely hear the guy taking the order and he could barely hear me either. It was obstructive. I would go back again the bowl was, like I said, absolutely delicious.“

“Absolutely delicious grilled portobello sandwich! Delightful soup and sandwich place. Love that any sandwich can be converted to a salad (but honestly that soft toasted whole wheat bread was divine)
Reusable dishes are expensive but glasses and washable silverware would make this place perfect.“

“Got the chicken and rib combo . the chicken was super tender and moist, and the ribs were meaty and tender as well . It was very good and the gentlemen that I picked up the food from , was very nice and friendly. and the place looked beautiful on the inside . I must go and have a sit down. thanks for a great meal !“

“First time there and enjoyed the selection. Will go back again!“

“This place is awesome. Never disappointed when we go there. Their food is delicious.“

“Muy buena comida muy bien a tendida“
