50 Best American Restaurants near South Riding

“First time I came it was very disappointing. The usual great burger and fries that fosters offer at other locations were absent here. Fries were just average and burger was served on a cold food lion bun. Tried here again but got the cheesesteak special with fries and man was it good. Fries nice and hot ((little salty)) and the steak was well prepared along with fresh toppings. Best cheesesteak I’ve had in a minute. Will give the burger another shot next time around as things look better.“

“Overall this place was pretty good! I do think the quality of the food was not worth the price its costs, but it did taste good. I got the social house burger and my boyfriend got the steak sandwich. They came out quick and the service was on point. The servers were very attentive and friendly but not overbearing. Our drinks stayed full and our empty plates/cups were removed quickly. I would say it’s definitely worth checking out but I’m not sure we will be back ?“

“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!“

“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!“

“I had the best Hungry Man breakfast at Yorkshire this morning with my best friend since kindergarten. Couldn’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday catching up with a friend and great food.“

“We love Silver Diner so much! Justin was super attentive, introduced himself right away, and despite having a lot of tables was sure to stop by to check on us. Nice young man who was interested in us being vegans! Silver Diner Ashburn is our regular spot but we'll be sure to request to sit in Justin's section again!“

“Thanks for hosting our monthly meetings. Foods great!“

“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!“

“I wanted to share my positive experience with the food and service during my recent visit. However, I was disappointed to learn that filling a growler with root beer was deemed "physically impossible". I hope this can be reconsidered in the future.“

“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“

“From the moment we entered the pub/restaurant we were greeted by a friendly front desk, waiter and managers. The food was well above average and we enjoyed the Cesar salad and two steaks (filet and ribeye). The bernaise sauce was one of the tastiest I've ever had... it had a nice “kick” of spice which made it enjoyable and a nice twist off the original one would expect. We ended the night with a lovely dessert and drinks. Will definitely be back for more!“

“The food is awesome. Great burgers and high quality bar food. We usually get takeout. It gets crowded.

Parking: Lots of parking.

Kid-friendliness: The food is kid friendly but the atmosphere is more adult at popular times.“

“I've been twice. Once outside with a street side table and once indoors on a Saturday night with college football on the TV's. Lot's of TV's so able to follow multiple games. The food and service were excellent both times. If you're looking for a sports bar environment with good food, you will be very happy here.“

“Best cappuccino around! Perfect for business meetings“

“The restaurant is certainly crowded, but the staff was exceptionally attentive, polite and swift. The food was perfectly cooked, and for those with gluten allergies/sensitivities/etc, they surprisingly have GF buns. Rosemary fries are very underwhelming in flavor, but perfectly cooked. Overall, as far as restaurant haunts go, it's probably the best in this terminal.“

“Great place to celebrate your milestones .“

“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.“

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

“We recently hosted a rehearsal dinner and welcome party at City Tap. The evening was absolutely fabulous! From the initial visit, planning meetings and the final events, the process was smooth. Our events coordinator, Emily, was so helpful and brainstormed with me since we had a rather large group. The wait staff attentive and friendly, the food delicious and cocktails tasty. Our guests continue to rave about the evening. Thank you City Tap Loudoun!“

“Absolutly amazing food and service. I had the chicken piccata with shrimp. It was to die for. The shrimp was perfectly soft, i swear it must have been breast fed or something. We had a server named mason. He was hilarious and super charismatic. He made the whole experience a lot better. He made me a mocktail from scratch. It was a strawberry blueberry drink with lemon juice and rosemarry and mint. It had a beautiful frozen lemon rose ice cub. I also had the mascarprone for desert it was perfectly balanced of sweet and chocolatly. The place was absolutly stunning and such pretty set up. Even my youngest cousin (4 year old) had lots of fun here and got to have great food too. Literally everything i had was super delious.

Vegetarian options: My grandmother had the vegtable platter

Kid-friendliness: There is good kid options as well and our server was really nice and iteractive with the kid. He was rea“

“Best wings everrrrrrrrrrrrr“

“Great food. Great people. Close to home. Let’s go!“

“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!“

“Amazing food great atmosphere and they except reservations“

“If you could give the staff 10 Stars I would, 3rd time here, I've been to plenty Ruth's chris, this one is#1. The food, the atmosphere and the staff make this my #1 spot locally. Excellent job to everyone, cannot say enough good things, you just gotta try it!!!

“Looking for Bottle of Red-wine and found this restaurant very close to our residence. Went up to the shop had a look at the wine display took one bottle each of red-wine Spain and Italian, the lady on the counter very polite and helpful answered sone questions and took for billing. They do have variety of meat and meat products. Can have done beer or soft drinks with food there itself. It a great place to visit. Amble space for free parking, pricing reasonable. We were looking for some venison meat, not readily available they tired to organise from a supplier, since our qty was not matching couldn’t make it.“

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

“Everything was wonderful not what I expected 👌🏾“

“I've been going to the Silver Diner in Reston for over 15 years. Food is always good, new items added to menu seasonally, staff are real folks who are easy to talk with and joke with as well. You get a sense of "family" when you are there as staff and customers interact. Servers are fun people and make your day. Today was Rubia's day and she is special. Come out and see for yourself.“

“Great Grillef Buffalo Chicken sandwich.“

“Great place. Awesome fries and amazing milkshakes“

“Food was good. Steaks cooked to proper temp. Broccoli a little oversteamed, but still edible. Seating was a bit tight. We were a party of 5 and all of our plates barely fit on the table. Service was excellent!!! Entire staff was incredibly nice, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Food coming out was very well timed. Apps came out quick with enough time to eat and have a few mins for the food to settle before the mains came out. No wait for water or drinks to be refilled. Wish the bread was pre-sliced, only bc we had kids at the table and wanted them to feel like they could serve themselves, but it was tough for them to slice on their own. Not at all a restaurant problem. Usually don't go to chain steak spots, but this staff and service made the experience totally worth it and then some. My tip wound up being almost as much as our 5-person meal bc of how impressed I was with their service. Can't speak highly enough of the staff here. Amazing job to the whole team!“

“Amazing food for an incredible value. I love a good chicken sandwich as a post-workout meal and you get a hefty cutlet with a handful of waffle fries. Perfect crunch and great sauce. The tacos are also phenomenal and you can never go wrong with any of their flatbreads.“
