“Was in the mood for a good cheesesteak so we decided to try out a recommendation from the Vienna Foodies group! Our experience was great, great service and the food was good. My husband got the double double on a pretzel burger and I had the original cheesesteak! We were VERY impressed how the fries at the bottom of the basket were still crispy! We’ll definitely be back! 🔥💯👏🏽“

“Karen was an awesome server and the food was delicious. A+!“

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

“If you're in Fairfax, don't miss Andy's Pizza! Their delicious pies are always fresh, with a perfect crust and flavorful toppings. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal. Whether you're dining in or taking out, Andy's Pizza never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Food excellent in quality, preparation, textures, flavors and presentation. The jarring and omnipresent noise (which also bounces) renders the fore-described qualities frustratingly moot - almost. I would dearly love to recommend as well as return and bring friends along but will have to forewarn them as well as brace myself.“

“We recently celebrated our son's high school graduation with a dinner here, and everything was absolutely fabulous. Our server, George, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. He handled our party of 16 so smoothly — it felt like we were at a table of four with how attentive and efficient he was! Every guest truly enjoyed their meal, and it was the perfect way to mark such a special occasion. Highly recommend!“

“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 ?“

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

“Excellent customer service delicious food“

“We've dined at Patsy's American on several occasions and consistently appreciate the quality, service and atmosphere.“

“I had the privilege of experiencing the Chefs Tasting at 2941 Restaurant last night. The five-course tasting journey, paired with exquisite food and wine, along with beautiful surroundings and a vibrant atmosphere, turned the evening into a memorable adventure and culinary delight. If you seek to awaken your taste buds and embark on a magical journey, this extraordinary destination in the DMA area and North America awaits you.“

“We came here on a Friday, and it wasn’t that busy yet our server cash was the most valuable part of our time here, she was so kind and helped us with all the questions we had.

“The entire experience was awesome! We didn’t have reservations, as we just came from a show. They worked us in and the tapas style dining was just what we needed for an upscale, late-night meal. Flavor was out of this world and presentation was art! I’ll definitely be back & highly recommend the ninniku noodles with duck confit. 🤤“

“We went to the restaurant down at the wharf….. To start, the hostess at the front was on her phone and not really paying any mind to the people walking in the door. Come to find out after that was the floor manager. Then we get sat and none of the workers talk about who is in charge of that section. We did. It get me is or silverware. The very nice bartender comes up, gets us some water and menus gets us started and finally the sever comes over to us. The server took our order and checked on us twice. When the food was brought to the table we still didn’t have silverware and had to ask the food runner. Our server had a a ten top when we arrived and she was checking on her the whole time not paying any mind to the other tables she has. It was to the point I had to go up to someone ask for water refill bc both our glasses were empty. We finish our meals that were very good and no one but the bartenders are on the floor. I see our sever walk over to the restroom, she comes out looks at us and sees that we are sitting doing nothing, then walks over to a new 10 top and disappears. It’s at thing point I now have to walk over to the bartender and get our check and they are the ones that cash us out. Thank you to the bartender that took care of us“

Every time I go back I am going to try and get Ash as my server. 10/10 experience, 10/10 food. Will definitely be back.“

“Had a totally wonderful experience at the Manassas location — everyone was friendly, helpful and quick and then the food gave us that warm and fuzzy feeling that we were looking for. AAAAA+++++“

“Our meal, service and attention to detail were truly 5 stars.

Jack provided excellent service, a dining room manager came to our table quite often to make sure we were okay and a nice lady employee stopped by to speak to us because our 1 year son got her attention. She said he was so cute and she told us of her 3 year old child. It was nice talking to her.

Jack had our Caesar salad and the kids chicken split in the kitchen and brought out the Caesar salad in separate bowls for my wife and I and brought out the kids chicken on separate plates for our daughters. Our daughters loved the chicken,n French fries and ketchup and ate it all. The Caesar salad was amazing. Jack asked could he bring out the kids chicken plates early, we said yes, and he brought their plates early as requested.

I had blackened salmon and shrimp, gave the shrimp to my wife and she ate it up. My wife ordered New York strip steak, baked potato, sweet potato casserole and brussel sprouts. She ate what she could and boxed up the remaining so we could take it home and eat later for leftovers. She enjoyed the meal.

Jack had ice cream and chocolate syrup brought out for our daughters. They enjoyed it.

Bathroom was nice as well.

Scheduled reservation via Google and open table. Used an email coupon and Google Pay to pay the bill.

Saturday evening, paid for street parking.“

“Came in after getting a 20% off. Food was great. Kitchen was fast. Our server isn't a great fit for the job though. While they did the basics they were too quiet and somewhat inattentive. We would have ordered more drinks if only they had asked.“

“The food appears... lesser quantity than in DC. The biscuits were smaller, and harder. I saw no bacon. The sausage (pork or chicken) was not "week done" as with the DC restaurant. Also there wasn't any shrimp. I got there at 9:am, and was told reservations were needed. So I Sat at the bar. Def a 3.5 rating on food here“

“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 ve been a Chef for over 20 years at places like Fairmont and Lansdowne and decided to take my wife and daughter there to celebrate my daughter’s Birthday. I must say everything was perfect. We were greeted with a friendly smile the second we walked in. Our server was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and suggested some of the favorites and she did not disappoint, the loaded baked potato soup was delicious very well balanced flavors, the Cobb lettuce wraps were a great way to start the dinner experience, my wife loved the Caesar salad. When it came to entrees the fish tacos were seasoned perfectly and well balanced, my steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and my daughter still thinks that’s the best burger. The S’mores had all three of us fighting for the last bite. We are really looking forward to our next meal there. So if you haven’t been there you need to go.“

“We ordered around 15 lunches in advance for a training that we were running. The food was ready on time and several of my teammates said the sandwiches were very good and tasted fresh.

Vegetarian options: We were very happy that they have vegetarian options.“

“First timer here but my children aren’t . They live in Arlington.“

“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.“

“Amazing dining experience! From the food to the service A+. Must try!“
