“We had an incredible experience. The ceviche sampler was the star of the night — fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced. The lomo saltado was packed with flavor, tender, and beautifully prepared. And the dessert dome was a full-on show! A special thank you to Patricia, who was attentive, helpful, and genuinely polite throughout the entire visit. She made the experience even better. I’m already looking forward to coming back”

“Jackson’s Mighty Fine Food & Lucky Lounge (BCI: 86) 11927 Democracy Dr, Reston, VA Step into Jackson’s and you’re stepping into a space that bridges eras - a Reston mainstay that blends classic Americana with a contemporary culinary pulse. The curved brick façade, glowing neon, terrazzo floors, and murals set a retro-modern stage that feels both familiar and fresh. The menu is as versatile as the atmosphere. The Blue Crab & Shrimp Fritters arrive golden and crisp, with a lobster-ginger sauce that balances sweet and tang. Deviled Eggs topped with pecans and sugar-cured bacon hit nostalgic notes with a twist. For mains, the Short Smoked Salmon Filet was balanced and flavorful, while the 5 Star Reserve Rib Eye stands out as the indulgent showpiece - perfectly grilled and paired with Brussels sprouts, bacon, and spiced pecans. Gluten-sensitive diners aren’t sidelined here, with Ozzie’s Brick Chicken and even flourless desserts on a dedicated menu. Save room for dessert: the Flourless Chocolate Waffle with Ice Cream was rich yet not overwhelming, and the Lemon Marshmallow Meringue Pie playful and bright. Cocktails, like the Jackson’s Mule, are well-crafted and fairly priced. Service was attentive and well-paced even in a bustling room, though weekends bring a lively (and loud) crowd. Reservations are smart for dinner; weekday lunches are easier. My only miss: the French Dip. Beautifully presented but mine arrived closer to raw than medium rare, with a lukewarm au jus. For $30, I expected more precision. That said, many online reviewers rave about it. So consider it a hit-or-miss item depending on your taste for ultra-rare beef. Whether it’s a business lunch, a date night, or a family dinner, Jackson’s delivers. A broad menu, strong service, and lively atmosphere keep it at the center of Reston dining. BCI: 86 reflects weighted and normalized ratings across multiple platforms, showing that Jackson’s consistently delivers strong experiences. The Brodbeck Confidence Index (BCI) is a proprietary algorithm that blends multi-platform ratings into a single, normalized score to give diners a clearer picture of overall consensus.”

“Another amazing night at Fogo! We all had such a wonderful time—great food, wonderful service, lots of laughs, and of course, entirely too much food. My grandson Lewes especially loves coming here, although he was pretty disappointed that his favorite manager, Santos, wasn't there last night. I'm pretty sure Santos has officially become part of the Fogo experience for him! Still, we had a fantastic evening together and left full, happy, and already looking forward to our next visit.”

Clarity Reston 1996 Opportunity Way, Reston Fine Dining

“We had a lovely time at Clarity Reston. To start off, I had a mocktail at the bar while waiting for friends. It was FABULOUS! Once seated we had the pork belly as an appetizer. Amazing. We had the pork chops as the main course. EXCELLENT!!! Seriously, fantastic. The halibut was pretty good as well. To end our meal the peach pastry was AMAZING. AND THE CREAM BRÛLÉE WAS VERY GOOD! Lastly, David was our server although he is usually the event manager - he was lovely and we hope to use him for events in the future. Victor at the bar gave us a Morgan Freeman vibe - witty and friendly”

The Simon at Reston Station 11340 Reston Station Blvd, Reston New American • $$$$

“Overall, the food was good, but there were a few areas that could have been better. The duck was very different from what we expected. We initially thought it would be a whole duck served with lavender, but it arrived as just two slices per person. While I appreciate the time and effort that goes into preparing the dish, I think the menu should provide a clearer description of what guests will actually receive. The flavor was also quite strong, even for someone who enjoys duck.

The service was less attentive than expected, and since we were celebrating a birthday, we were hoping for a little more acknowledgment. The restaurant did provide a birthday card, which was a nice gesture, but there was nothing else special for the occasion.

On the positive side, I really enjoyed the salad and the side dishes we ordered. Overall, it was a good dining experience, but the food presentation, service, and birthday experience could have been better.”

Crafthouse Reston 1888 Explorer Street, Reston Burgers • $$

“We had a really fun dinner at Craft House! And I’m just going to say it: that pretzel may be the best pretzel I’ve ever had. 😂 It was THAT good. The table absolutely demolished the cheese curds, and the cheese pizza got a big thumbs-up from everyone, too.

I had the side Caesar salad. It was fine, but I probably wouldn’t order it again. One of my friends had the French onion soup and said she’d happily choose the pizza, cheese curds, or pretzel over the soup next time. She was expecting the soup to be a little richer.

But the real MVP was our server, Mandy! We had people coming and going from our table throughout the evening, and Mandy kept up with everyone like a pro. She was friendly, attentive, efficient, and had a great attitude. Even after we’d been sitting there for quite a while, she continued to check on us and make sure everyone was taken care of.

The hubby was happy with the beer flight and loved that Mandy labeled them for him!

So… come for the pretzel. Stay for the cheese curds. And if you get Mandy, you hit the jackpot! 😄”

“We loved our experience. Came for dinner with my husband and ordered several dishes. The chicken platter appetizer came out sizzling and delicious. We also enjoyed the Gobi Manchurian (sweet and spicy cauliflower appetizer). The Natu Kodi and Shrimp Curry entrees were both spicy oily and tomato-based with the perfect amount of seasoning… very rich in flavor. Enjoyed both of those dishes. My favorite entree was the paneer butter masala. Amazing sauce - similar to butter chicken sauce. I was eating the sauce with everything!! Also had an amazing Chicken Dum Biryani where the chicken was on the bottom of the rice. The garlic naan was phenomenal. Got to meet their chef Krishna who was super nice and explained some of the dishes to us. We were pleased with our meal and will be back to try out their buffet next!”

What really stood out to me was how attentive she was with elderly customers and people who were unsure or confused about the menu. She never made them feel rushed or uncomfortable she calmly explained things and made sure they were taken care of.

Customer service like that makes a real difference. Gaby is a great representative of Paisano’s Pizza, and she deserves recognition for the way she treats people. Highly recommended!”

Crumbl 11686 Plaza America Dr, Reston Bakery • $$

“I come to this location a lot and really love the cookies. The problem that I have encountered more than a couple of times is when a cookie is sold out there is no signage communicating that. So you come in, order at the kiosk, and while waiting for the order you are hit with “we are sold out! Would you like another cookie or a refund” Wouldn’t it be more efficient to write on a piece of paper that you are sold of something so that customers entering the store know? Or have it on the screen somewhere?

Update: they have finally fixed this issue and now when something is sold out it will show in the screen.”

We started with the falafel, and they were perfect—crispy on the outside, moist and flavorful inside, easily some of the best I've had. The beef shawarma was equally impressive; the meat was tender, perfectly spiced, and served with delicious accompaniments.
What really surprised us, in the best way possible, was the Philly cheesesteak. It was authentic, loaded with thinly sliced beef, melted cheese, and fresh ingredients. It might sound like an unusual item for the menu, but they absolutely nailed it!
The staff were welcoming, the service was prompt, and the atmosphere was great for a family dinner. Whether you're craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine or a classic American sandwich done right, this place delivers on all fronts. We will definitely be back!”

Subway 12191 Sunset Hills Rd, Reston Sandwich Shop • $

“Stopped by a Subway inside a gas station and honestly walked away impressed. The team was clearly busy, but you wouldn’t know it from the way they handled everything. Every employee was smiling, staying positive, and working together like a well-oiled machine.

The line moved quickly, orders were made carefully, and nothing felt rushed or sloppy. You could tell they were well staffed and well managed—everyone had a role and executed it. Even with the rush, they kept the place clean and the energy upbeat.

It’s not easy to maintain that kind of service during peak times, but this crew made it look effortless. Great experience all around—this is exactly how it should be done.”

The Simon at Reston Station 11340 Reston Station Blvd, Reston New American • $$$$

“Overall, the food was good, but there were a few areas that could have been better. The duck was very different from what we expected. We initially thought it would be a whole duck served with lavender, but it arrived as just two slices per person. While I appreciate the time and effort that goes into preparing the dish, I think the menu should provide a clearer description of what guests will actually receive. The flavor was also quite strong, even for someone who enjoys duck.

The service was less attentive than expected, and since we were celebrating a birthday, we were hoping for a little more acknowledgment. The restaurant did provide a birthday card, which was a nice gesture, but there was nothing else special for the occasion.

On the positive side, I really enjoyed the salad and the side dishes we ordered. Overall, it was a good dining experience, but the food presentation, service, and birthday experience could have been better.”

Crafthouse Reston 1888 Explorer Street, Reston Burgers • $$

“We had a really fun dinner at Craft House! And I’m just going to say it: that pretzel may be the best pretzel I’ve ever had. 😂 It was THAT good. The table absolutely demolished the cheese curds, and the cheese pizza got a big thumbs-up from everyone, too.

I had the side Caesar salad. It was fine, but I probably wouldn’t order it again. One of my friends had the French onion soup and said she’d happily choose the pizza, cheese curds, or pretzel over the soup next time. She was expecting the soup to be a little richer.

But the real MVP was our server, Mandy! We had people coming and going from our table throughout the evening, and Mandy kept up with everyone like a pro. She was friendly, attentive, efficient, and had a great attitude. Even after we’d been sitting there for quite a while, she continued to check on us and make sure everyone was taken care of.

The hubby was happy with the beer flight and loved that Mandy labeled them for him!

So… come for the pretzel. Stay for the cheese curds. And if you get Mandy, you hit the jackpot! 😄”

“We loved our experience. Came for dinner with my husband and ordered several dishes. The chicken platter appetizer came out sizzling and delicious. We also enjoyed the Gobi Manchurian (sweet and spicy cauliflower appetizer). The Natu Kodi and Shrimp Curry entrees were both spicy oily and tomato-based with the perfect amount of seasoning… very rich in flavor. Enjoyed both of those dishes. My favorite entree was the paneer butter masala. Amazing sauce - similar to butter chicken sauce. I was eating the sauce with everything!! Also had an amazing Chicken Dum Biryani where the chicken was on the bottom of the rice. The garlic naan was phenomenal. Got to meet their chef Krishna who was super nice and explained some of the dishes to us. We were pleased with our meal and will be back to try out their buffet next!”

Taste Of Istanbul 1862 Explorer Street, Reston Turkish • $$

“I stopped by Taste of Istanbul this afternoon for the first time. For the most part it was really good. I ordered a potato pide, 2 doner kebab, mixed meze, and pistachio baklava. Everything was delicious except for the”baklava”, which turned out to be two greasy dough cylinders. No phyllo, no honey, no pistachio filling. I was disappointed that I wasted $7.00 for inedible dough I ended up throwing in the garbage. Get the kebabs, stay away from their version of baklava.”

“I come to this location a lot and really love the cookies. The problem that I have encountered more than a couple of times is when a cookie is sold out there is no signage communicating that. So you come in, order at the kiosk, and while waiting for the order you are hit with “we are sold out! Would you like another cookie or a refund” Wouldn’t it be more efficient to write on a piece of paper that you are sold of something so that customers entering the store know? Or have it on the screen somewhere?

Update: they have finally fixed this issue and now when something is sold out it will show in the screen.”
