38 Best American Restaurants near Manassas Park

“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.“

“The pupusas(any kind )the best. It has a lot of filling. the Chicken Tamales are good too. Yuca frita con chicharrón one of the best ones I’ve ever had . The ladies are very friendly, customer service is excellent. This place is a must try if you haven’t. A secret gem in the heart of Manassas Park.“

“Delicious food and friendly service.“

“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 ?“

“Carlos is the very best! He is a great server and took care of us. My daughter's birthday was awesome because of him! Kudos to this location which also takes GREAT care of its Beer Club members! We'll be back soon!“

“Friendly, good food. Our waitress, Nicole, was outgoing and great!“

“There is a sign on the door as you walk in that states “Best Breakfast in town” there has never been a more true statement. Well done Yorkshire!!!!!“

“I have lived in Chantilly for 30 years and you CANNOT find a rack of ribs better than Backyard Grill! The potato skins and beignets are wonderful as well!“

“Great food and the roof top searing was a great place to enjoy the band on a First Friday evening!“

“Great music on a Friday night!“

“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“

“I love this place! I tired it the first time last August when my son was here for a baseball event. We’re back and I have literally dreamed about eating this again for a year!“

“I’m only in town for a week, but have already been here twice since it’s short trip from where I’m staying and I enjoy a good brew pub. Ate at the bar both times. Food and service were 💯both times. I had the bacon wrapped meatloaf and the supreme pizza. Meatloaf was great, pizza’s ok. I tried both their hazy beers and the Freedom and Founders IPAs, all good choices. I’m planning on bringing my husband for my 3rd visit before heading home. Looking forward to having the Stroganoff pasta on my next visit. Would highly recommend for food and craft beer selections.“

“This place is amazing. The menu is great, lots of choices, healthy options too. \nThey have lots of drinks specials and the coffee is really good! \nIt’s a sports bar, so great for watching the games. \nGood atmosphere and wait staff are friendly. \nA great way to start your day“

“I randomly found this place based on some reviews.
I had the chicken Caesar wrap, and let me tell you, this was a perfect wrap. I enjoyed my lunch!!!! Will be going there for sure to try out other items on the menu.
Highly recommended and I love supporting small businesses.“

“First time here while traveling for work and it was 💯 amazing!!! Very friendly staff and AMAZING Ribeyes! Definitely will be back and definitely recommend trying it out!! 💪🏼🔥“

“Thank you Cracker Barrel for stepping up your "Customer Service" skills. I receently picked up a take out order that I was not pleased with. When I went to pay for the order, the cashier acknowledged the complaint and called for a manager. The manager immediately apologized and corrected the problem. Thank you for getting it right! This is why I keep coming back. ? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ See you soon!“

“Was super bz on a Sunday and service was okay but our waitress wasn’t all that great.“

“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.“

“Everything was wonderful not what I expected 👌🏾“

“Amazing food great atmosphere and they except reservations“

“Wonderful food, the trout was amazing and so was the shrimp and crab fritter appetizer. Our waiter Matthew was seriously the best and sweetest waiter I’ve ever had in my life. We are here for vacation but we will without a doubt come back here the next time we are in the area.“

“I didn’t expect much when I originally planned to head to Ford’s, but I happened to catch a glimpse of Foster’s in South Riding—and I’m glad I did. The draft lineup really caught my attention. While there aren’t a ton of options on tap, the mix they offer covers a nice range of flavors and includes some awesome local craft brews. And don’t miss their can selection—lots of gems in there too!

What really impressed me was the meal—especially the Reuben, which was packed with flavor. I also had a great chat with the General Manager, Kim, who clearly knows her stuff when it comes to craft beer. Such a cool experience all around. I have a feeling this is going to become one of my go-to spots!“

“This place has great food and excellent service! Workers are super friendly and the place is super clean❤️“

“I’m from South Carolina and this place can compete with the restaurants in Charleston!!!! Try it. You’ll love it!“

“We come at Social House on Mondays, and Keirstan is hands down one of the best bartenders we’ve had. She’s attentive, friendly, and always makes sure we’re well taken care of. Her positive attitude, constant smile, and easy conversation make every visit a great one.“

“Any cheesesteak, amoroso’s rolls, beer battered fish and chips, any rueben style sammich. Mostly between 13-15 bucks. Typically time of placing order to table is less than ~10 minutes for cheesesteaks, hoagies or sandwiches, makes for a quick in and out for lunch.“

“The happy hour food menu is an amazing deal, and the food is delicious. I love that they offer a variety of daily specials too. You gotta meet the staff - very entertaining and always friendly.“

“Great place. Awesome fries and amazing milkshakes“

“Friendly, good food. Our waitress, Nicole, was outgoing and great!“

“LongHorn Steakhouse in Chantilly never disappoints! The steaks are always seasoned just right and cooked perfectly every time. The chicken wings with their signature seasoning are incredible, and the grilled shrimp and lobster tail are always spot on—tender, flavorful, and delicious. We’ve also tried the burger and the pork chop on past visits and both were excellent.

The restaurant is consistently clean and well-maintained, which adds to the great experience.

Service is another highlight. Sam, the bartender, is fantastic—she takes such great care of guests and even when it’s busy, she makes sure you never feel overlooked. She’s a real gem.

I’ve also noticed the managing partner on several occasions stepping in to help his staff, which says a lot about the culture here.

If you haven’t visited yet, it’s definitely worth a stop—you won’t be disappointed!“

“We actually asked up pretty late to eat here after going to the circus 🎪 and were the only ones there but food was so delicious and the place was cool how it was right in the water kinda was a little confusing on finding the entrance though but such a nice vibe at this place I liked it. But next time I'd recommend going at a decent time not so late but highly recommend for sure“

“Two big pieces of French toast and fresh fried eggs. Simple and delicious! Friendly wait staff who treated me like a regular even though I’m a newcomer. The restaurant smells fresh and looks cozy like you’d expect. Glad I stopped in for an evening breakfast. Thanks for being open 24 hours in Arlington.“

“Nice placê, wonderful food!“

“great food. Tony is amazing cook.“

“Nice, chill location. the food was good. I ordered the 10pc wings with fries. I don't recommend getting the honey mustard sauce. it's the cost of a drink🥴, literally. Why something the same size as ranch or blue cheese costs the same as a drink (while the ranch and blue cheese don't cost extra), I'm not sure. If you're like me and don't eat ranch or blue cheese, bring your own honey mustard. other than that, I highly recommend.“

“Kind staff, delicious wings and fries“
