I am glad we stopped in on the way home to Virginia! Thank you all! oh the deserts were great!“

“I came to Arlington for a business trip from Atlanta. I've been to the Ballston Food Court several times since I visit frequently. First time at Hal & Als and I ordered the brisket sandwich. the cashier who I assume is the owner was telling me about who he learned to make ribs from down in Atlanta. he was so hospitable too. he asked me to let him know what I thought. I completely forgot. everything was great. halal BBQ is a little different but it blew me away. I'll def revisit when I'm in Arlington again.“

The quality of food, knowledgeable staff, creative cocktails and atmosphere are what make this restaurant well worth the visit. EVERYTHING was OUTSTANDING! I’ve never enjoyed a restaurant more that Gyu-shige! AAA+ We will be back!“

“My favorite BBQ in Arlington and Alexandria.“

“Old Blue catered my daughters wedding. I will be recommending them to everyone I know. Old Blue has the best BBQ food in the greater DC area - so, that would be enough to recommend them - however, if you are planning an event, you will not believe the quality of the service they offer. Everyone was helpful, had great suggestions, they even shared decorations with us. The day of the wedding was also perfect - they were attentive and seemed to anticipate every need. Again, they would be worth it just for the food, but they perfect because of everything else.“

“Great food and friendly staff!“

“Great Spot! You’ll really like it!“

“I have ate multiple times at this restaurant and the service and food was fantastic! The food was hot and seasoned to perfectio“

“We are from Buffalo NY down here on vacation. The host was absolutely amazing we sat at a high top by the bar and he came over and offered to move us to a bigger table so we had more room!! The bartender was our server and he was so attentive and on top of everything. They had a large school party that had about 50 people in it and they did not let that slow them down at all. At the end of that party we ended up speaking with one of the owners and he was so nice! We ended up finding out the host had family from where we are from and that was awesome! The food was amazing, portions were huge! Moral of the story the whole staff was amazing the food came out with perfect timing even with the huge party. Pricing, food, friendliness all worth it here they were amazing“

“Has a great time. Had a party of ten and were seated immediately. The servers and host were so nice. Coming from Florida, they made us feel at home. Food was delicious!!“

“Really good and different! Had the short-rib pastrami and it was fantastic!! Great taste, perfect texture, and the mustard sauce was the perfect compliment. Their house pickled veggies added a really nice touch. The deviled eggs are not to be missed! Smoky, but not overbearingly so. The wife had the pastrami spiced portobello and was very impressed. Guys in the truck were super nice and very patient. They were out front of Baby Cat brewery in Kensington the day we went by. Will be keeping track of where they're going to be - will definitely return!!“

“You should try eat in here. The foods are excellent and professional to service.I really love eat in here.“

“Went today. The Food: Impressive and inexpensive beef rib. Best value I've seen for a while. Thick Brisket, very good. Sausage was impressive as well. Sweet sauce was great. Not a fan of the thin brisket, more like sliced beef. Service was excellent and nice guy from Philly made sure I left happy. Inside was cool, like real Texas places.“

“the ribs had that fresh out the smoke test.this was the first time I have had their food👍👍👍. My friends were impressed too.“

“I went there today for a nice lunch date and I requested to get all the food gluten free. They were very helpful and knowledgeable about what was gluten free on the menu and made sure to bring out the salads and explain which one was which. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the pargiyot skewer but was not personally a fan of the lam kebab flavor. When the waiter came over and asked how everything was, I told him everything was great. He saw I had not eaten the lamb and asked me about it. Im not a complainer so I said it just wasn’t my taste. Well, when we brought us the check, he only charged us for the pargiyot and comped the lamb! I am blown away by my experience at Al Ha’esh. Excellent customer service and food! 👍“

“Found this place tucked away next to the CVS on Gallows Road and decided to give it a shot—I definitely didn’t regret it! The food was amazing, and the service was just as great. Zhou was our server, and he was fantastic. He grilled our food for us, and all of his recommendations were on point.

They were also running their happy hour special, which included all-you-can-eat, and it was such a great deal. Great food, great service, and an overall amazing experience. I highly recommend checking this place out!“

“Great food- we had coffees, a breakfast burrito and the avocado toast - it was the perfect morning stop. Sitting outside on the patio was perfect and Rishard, our waiter, was so welcoming- great sevice and recommendations. We’ll be back!“

“Really enjoyed Kanpai! I love that you get KBBQ, hot pot, and a buffet all in one, so there’s a ton of variety. The meats were well marinated and I also liked trying all the different Southeast Asian dishes from the buffet. The interior is really nice and feels more upscale than most AYCE spots too. My unexpected favorite was the mango sticky rice!! It’s genuinely some of the best I’ve had! Definitely come hungry because there’s so much to try.“

“We went for our oldest daughter 24th birthday/youngest daughter's farewell going back to college dinner. They gave us a discount for our daughter‘s birthday and we had wonderful quality family time! The last time we went was for New Year's Eve. We definitely like to come here for special occasions.“

“excellent ramen and customer service. I am beyond impressed!!! Great job!!!!“

“We’ve eaten at The Falls for both date nights and family outings and were extremely impressed every time. I was excited to hear they also do catering! We called The Falls, spoke to Kelly and she was super helpful, communicative and helped with everything from how much food would be appropriate for our size event and how many staff would be recommended. We had our annual Santa party with 190 people and everyone was super impressed with the food quality, the attentive staff and how friendly and courteous they were. They left my house cleaner than before the party and even boxed up some left overs for us to enjoy. They’re a true blessing and made our party one we’ll remember for years! Thank You- to Kelly and Mark and the entire Falls crew!“

“This place has authentic Dominican cuisine. Very limited in their buffet options though. Their seasoning is very much like back home, so much savoring and delicious meals. It almost made me feel like I was eating out of my grandma's kitchen 😋. Highly recommend stopping by and getting a plate hear.“

“The service was great and the food was even better!! Great place to go with family or friends! Love the atmosphere and would definitely recommend for all! The service you get there is exceptional!!“

“The food tasted delicious. I just wished that they serve the food in proper plates instead of to go boxes when you’re dining in. We ordered the chicken katsu, beef combination platter, Loco moco meal and the ramen noodle. The beef that came with the noodle soup is not so tender. The beef with the katsu is tender and flavorful. Overall, the food are all delicious. We’ll be back to try the other items in the menu.“

“So delicious my first time there“

“Great wedge fries VEGAN LOVE IT LOVE THEM“

“Super good food they have that holiday promotion for 2, varieties of meat from pork, beef, that chicken and shrimps are delicious. Friendly staff. Place is clean, excellent service. Highly recommend when you are in Arlington, Virginia come visit too!“

“Don't miss this place!!! You blink and you could drive right by it and that would be a loss. All the food was so yummy and tasted freshly made. The meats weren't greasy or tough. Moist, seasoned perfectly, and came to our table quickly so it all was hot. The loaded fries weren't soggy or to heavy. Great sides. Overall we'd come again.“

“Good pulled chicken and cake but bring back chicken tenders please“

“Excellent food, superb service and great portions! Totally worth the money.“

“The service was excellent. I like the special treat in the end. Glad we decided to go here.“

“I had the brisket, ribs, baked beans and cole slaw. The brisket practically melts and was so delicious. The ribs were great too. Tried several of the sauces. I like the mustard & the origins sauce best. Meal was big enough to ask for a doggie bag to finish it later on.“

“The malatang here is seriously one of the best I’ve had! The broth is rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy, and all the ingredients taste super fresh. I especially loved how customizable everything is, you can pick exactly what you want and it always comes out delicious. The staff are also really friendly and welcoming!!!“
