“This place is incredible the atmosphere is very classy. Service was great from the time we walked thru the door. Joshua our server was excellent he gave us excellent suggestions to choose from of the specials and menu. The Crabcake special and fried mozzarella over arugula almost made me slap my fiancé it was amazing. We also had the lamb chops with red wine sauce over garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach it was the best I have had in a very long time. Ohhh and the bread is divine we had two baskets of bread alone. This place is by far the best I have been to in Stafford quality food I don’t give 5 star rating but this place is in all manners is 5 star”
“The food is incredible! We are repeat diners. My wife loves the eggplant and the chicken Parm. is fantastic. The desserts were tasty and our server was incredible. We look forward to eating here once or TWICE everytime we visit. I look forward to eating here during the drive all the way from Cleveland, Ohio. It is our 1st dinner in the area upon arrival, and we usually end up there again sometime over our visit before heading home. Next visit, it's the lamb for sure. I have had it before, and it is some of tge best I have ever had! Thanks for such a great dinner. See yaParking: Limited parking if they are busy. We did get a handicapped spot.Kid-friendliness: The kids' meals off the kid's menu was awesome. They loved their meals.”
“The authenticity and welcoming atmosphere was already a plus , then I tasted the food ?? absolutely delicious from start to finish , we ended up ordering more to go after our dine in experience because it’s that good. We had the quail , different pho options , along with a few extras. The Thai tea is amazing. The hospitality is top tier and you truly feel the love throughout this family restaurant. We can’t wait for our next visit already.”
“With this place being so close by to base it’s super convenient to go to. The staff there is always appreciative of us and takes care of service members. Huge thank you for making our days better!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Honestly the best sandwiches in Stafford, which is crazy for a Korean fusion place. The bread is soft and fluffy, both banh mi bulgogi pork and beef are to die for, and they have a pretty extensive selection of bubble teas as well as regular ones.”
“The food was amazing and they were super accommodating for a large party of people. The owner was very friendly and the staff were super sweet. Great environment and food !”
“We felt welcome from the moment that we walked in the door, through out our entire dining experience up and until the very end.Here is the background. The restaurant closes at 9pm. We came in at 8:37pm. Not on purpose. We simply miscalculated how long it would take us to drive here from Winchester.We walked in the door worried that we would get turned around or at the very least get the “we are closing soon” suggestion, but to our surprise, that never happened. In fact, the complete opposite occurred. We were walked to a nicely set up table, right next to the fireplace. And then, a fire was started on our behalf.The environment was perfect. The place has the aromas of a homely and welcoming log cabin. The scenery is laid out the same. The music was 50’s holiday themed. Like I said, it was perfect.And then came the time to order our food. We were never rushed, even though we were minutes from closing time.I ordered the surf and turf. My wife order snow crabs. I had an ice tea. She had a martini.The food was so good, we had to pray before and after our meal.Another loving touch about this beautiful place is that they kept the fire going while we enjoyed our experience. It’s the small things that make an experience, An Experience To Remember that has to be shared.A wonderful evening.I really hope my experience will help anybody chose to enjoy theirs here, at the Log Cabin.Post Note, our servers name was Debbie. She made our experience a most memorable one. We thank everybody for making us feel at home.”

“Exceptional and friendly service. We had a group of about 20 people, and the staff went above and beyond to make it a special night for us. Fun live music and great beer!”

“The brews are so good, the food truck variety is so good, the atmosphere is so good (seeing a pattern? ). Our favorite place for drinks and bites. And the rotation of the beers means there's always something new to try! Come over and have a great time.”

“I'm always seeking new restaurants, especially those which are close to home and even more special are when they're some sort of ethnic restaurant. I love spicy foods and appreciate each Central American country's food specialties. So when I heard that there was a new Salvadoran joint in Stafford, I wanted to see how well they did pupusas. Mirna Latino Kitchen has been open over half a year now, but I just recently learned about them. They're in the old Papa John's Pizza on 610 at Eustace. Staff was very helpful and friendly and spoke great English. I tried a pupusa, a pollo and a carne taco, and their yuca curtido.The pupusa was excellent! I loved that they made it slightly crusty, not completely soft, it really brings out the corn flavor. The filling was tasty and the slaw (curtido) and tomato sauce on top was excellent! The curtido has a nice, herb flavor too!The tacos were decent... nothing overly special, but tasty and not dried out. The sauce that came with them was flavorful and the loads of fresh cilantro helped the flavors come through really nicely.Lastly, I love yuca and there's was tasty and not dried out, not too hard. They put the curtido on top and the flavors mixed together were excellent! Prices are decent, the place is very clean, and the service was friendly. Definitely will return!”

“Not only is the food super tasty - the service is incredible. Co-workers and I eat there - we call in our order ahead of time. Sam always takes great care of us and goes out of his way to make sure we have everything we need and more. Highly recommend!”
“When I visit a new restaurant I always try the basics, as it allows me to judge the rest of the food, thus if you can't do the simple stuff, I'm not interested in being adventurous. This spot really exceeded the bar. The food was fresh, devious and a good portion for the price. They also had a good selection for the lunch special, but I opted to go for my Thai usuals.Hope to visit again soon”
“I moved back to Stafford at the end of last year, so I'm still becoming familiar with the new food options in the area. I was excited to try Olla Cafe and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Carne Asada and was very happy with the taste! Everything was perfectly seasoned and it was a nice sized portion. Although I can't remember our waitress's name, she was friendly. The other staff members were nice as well. I will definitely return!”
“Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. We were pretty hungry, so it was nice that the food came up quickly. My Cubano was spot on, you could appreciate each of the various flavors in it, it was very tasty. The mofongo with lechon was also quite tasty. The portion sizes were great as well. Nice place to stop and enjoy some good Spanish food, will definitely stop by again when in the area.”
“We love the grounds! They make the best sugar free caramel macchiatos and have the best crustless quiche. My 2 year old is in love with the blueberry muffins. I used to be an avid Starbucks lover but now get sad when I have to settle for Starbucks instead.Kid-friendliness: They are so sweet to my 2 year old! They always offer a free cookie and they are so patient when she wants to order for herself.”

“Food is delicious. Very flavorful. Service and decor are fine. It is deli style. Meaning, you order and pay at the counter, and they bring the food to you. Can't beat the price for GOOD food.”

“Man....I don't care where your from, what color you are, or your culture.... YOU WILL LOVE THIS FOOD AND THIS PRICE AND THIS QUALITY AND QUANTITY...My wife is Peruvian and she knows how Authentic Peruvian Cuisine is "supposed" to taste... We both say, " This food exceeds expectations" We have eaten there many times in 6 months and drive out the way to get it...ANYTHING you order is the Fing BOMB and have some to take home too...”
“It's like a hidden gem. From the outside, you can't tell that there are people inside. It's just dark and seems uninviting. The ambiance is humble. But the food is delicious!! Not to mention their affordable prices. I love it here! Fried oreos and yummy burgers and quesadillas. Definitely a go-to place from now in.”
“One epic vineyard and events venue magnificently tucked in the woods in Stafford, VA. Perfect for an escape from Washington,DC and NOVA. Be mesmerized, have fun, enjoy the chef’s cuisine, unwind, explore… Potomac Point Winery and Vineyard is the perfect getaway.”
“Amazing food always fresh and the lunch specials are great. The new owners are extremely friendly and care about their food quality! Definitely stop by for a lunch or ”
“I was looking for a restaurant I went years ago and I was not able to find it however we found this one and we were not disappointed. Sushi was fresh. Flavor was on point and service was OK. The service was a bit slow at some points but it’s because the server was busy around the restaurant cleaning and attending other tables. Overall it was a good experience. I would come back to this place.”
“This is the best Chinese in the area besides Hong Kong further down Garrisonville Road. Personally like their General Tso's and Beef and Broccoli (and other Chinese dishes) though their fried chicken wings leave a lot to be desired.”
“While it doesn't seem like rocket science to get a quality steak n cheese you'd be supirsed how often you'll find bad ones. Not here not today.Thin sliced quality steak chopped.Fresh grilled chopped onions.Wiz.A roll that's not too thick taking away the taste BUT strong enough to not fall apart.Thanks it was great”
“The food here is superb and the drinks here are amazing! I love this place! Only issue is it the drunken noodles when I did takeout were a little…. Odd but overall good place!”
“My favorite pizza place in Stafford (tied with the Garrisonville Road location)! My boyfriend, who is from Stafford, introduced me to Sam's on the night of the tree lighting at Stafford Courthouse. It's a great place to sit down for dinner or grab a couple of pies to go. The texture is perfect and the buy one get one free deal can't be beat! Go Sam's!!”
“I eat here occasionally and lately every other day literally. I order online and arrive 25 minutes later and never have to wait and food is always still packaged tightly and kept hot. Meats taste fresh and veggies as well.”
“Great place to eat, food freshly made per order. Very crispy and full of flavor. Lady who I’m assuming is the owner was very nice and smiling the whole time. She’s very welcoming and calm with her smiling force. Happy staff , happy customers. Definitely coming back for more ”
“I love chinese but I especially am obsessed with fried pork dumplings. I’ve tried many of the local areas, i’m an expert. This place has some GREAT pork fried dumplings. I have spoken.”
“We love this place! I had chicken rice soup it tasted very fresh. My hubby had general tso with white rice…I tried some and it’s the best in the area. I ordered egg rolls and it was delicious. Very friendly and family environment. I will be going here from now on to support this local family owned business.”

“I ordered a German Chocolate cake for my wife for Mother’s Day since it is her favorite dessert. The cake looked wonderful and tasted even better. The owner was very responsive and super easy to work with.”
“Typically I've had good experiences here but unfortunately this past Sunday I did not. We got there not knowing what we wanted to eat so we did take a little longer to place our orders but it just got to a point where the server never came to us until she finally realized she did not take our order. She indicated she'd hook it up or see what she could do for us. She didn't really check up on us and definitely here is not necessarily.”
“Good spot, prices are reasonable and the good quality and staff are on point. I had the Big Mac and Medium Fries ? with chicken Mcnuggets.Kid-friendliness: They had a whole area where kids can play which I found very convenient.”
“They've surprisingly always gotten my order correct. Even when I'm ordering for a family of 7 it's always been right. Plus they've never claimed their ice cream machine is broken lol.”
“Thomas, the cashier working this evening, gave us 5 star service at a 2 star restaurant. 13/10 would recommend this employee as his A+/positive attitude and customer service both exceeded expectation. Give this kid a raise!”

“I love this place and my coworkers do too. We come here frequently to celebrate and it’s not hard to see why: Great Mexican food (Californian approved). Excellent chips and salsa as well (a rarity in the DC area), and friendly and attentive service. It’s a popular spot so parking can be a challenge during peak lunch hour, but well worth it! I’m already looking forward to my next visit.”

“Fantastic little breakfast. Their bacon was super crispy and tasted great. The potatoes were very good. Definitely would recommend the pancake platter. I will need to go back and try some bagels though.”
“We got seafood boil bags to-go, so we didn’t get to dine in. But we plan to for sure. This place is way better than Red Crab in Fredericksburg, by far. The prices are better and the quality of seafood is better. Often I’m disappointed at these kind of restaurants because it always feels overpriced and not worth it, but here I was satisfied. The mussels, crab clusters, crawfish, and shrimp were really good and good in size to where you don’t feel like you’re getting ripped off.”

“The service here was amazing and the girls at the counter were very attentive.However, as someone who is picky about coffee I was not a fan of the drink I received. I ordered a mocha and I couldn’t taste as chocolate at all (I know they put it in there as I saw it). The coffee was so overpowering that it drowned out the flavor.If you like your coffee to have the campfire, bitter, burnt flavor you would love the coffee here. I prefer smoother coffee, less acidic and less campfire taste as it meshes better with lattes/mochas.It is not the fault of how the coffee is made but the beans they use. I’d say if the flavor of the coffee isn’t a huge deal for you, you’d like it! I personally felt like the coffee itself washed out all other flavors and wasn’t to my taste.”
“Absolutely delicious food! Good portions and affordable prices! Online ordering was quick and easy and the cashier was great at informing me that our order was slightly different because they were out of something. The curry puffs are unbelievable! Chicken curry puffs were sold out so we got 2 veggies, can't wait to try the chicken next time. My pad see ew was cooked perfectly and the tofu was not over cooked like I've had at many other Thai restaurants in the area. My daughter also loves the chicken wontons (crispies, as she calls them). Will 100% be back soon! I would post pictures but the food didn't last long enough this time!”
“Food was delicious and have never had issues! We came tonight (3/8) to do pick up. I walked in to get the order and didn’t wait long. The bag was heavy and needed two hands and unfortunately I couldn’t put anyway weight on my left arm due to a recent shoulder surgery. The guy who helped (didn’t get his name, dark hair and glasses) could tell right away. I said I’d get my husband and he said no, he’d walk it out to my car. So he helped me by carrying my heavy HEAVY bag. He was so nice! Thankful for kind people like him! He didn’t even hesitate when I said I couldn’t Carry it!”
“Amazing food love it here I come here every few weeks, they have very kind people working there I love the Kubideh kabob and they use high quality ingredients .Parking: They have lots of parkingKid-friendliness: They have small meals for children to eatWheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair parking available”
“This coffee shops is adorable and the staff is SOOO friendly. I was able to come in and ask for ideas on what kind of coffee I should order from here. The food was delicious. It wasn’t too crowded either but plenty of seating if it was. I was about to come and have an enjoyable place to work on some homework. I also loved the little touches like the plants around the area. 10/10 will always recommend this place!”
“Taste of Jamaica has our hearts for sure! The curry chicken is my kiddos favorite (and she’s a picky eater) and of course I love all of the entrees especially the oxtail. Warm atmosphere.. great service.. the music is always a vibe!!! We will be back again this week! Haha Thanks so much G!”
“Everything was clean service was amazing they made me feel so welcome and the smoothie is just so good i’m speechless everything was 10/10 definitely coming back :)Vegetarian options: Oat milk”
“I highly recommend the Clubhouse. If you live outside, you can stop at the gate and tell them you are going to eat at the clubhouse. My wife ordered a margarita, and it was only $5! Great burgers and wife had a pasta dish that was great.”

“Love that Stafford has a local bakery delivering custom cakes and cookies. Just had a military ceremony with their custom treats as one of the center points. Delicious and look great. Highly ”
“We had a not so good experience the first time. But Jennifer Sukert and general manager Tray Talbots invited my wife and I back for another dinner and it had to be by far the best dinner I’ve ever eaten at outback. Both managers handled the situation like true professionals. Would highly recommend this location in Stafford not only because of the food but management is and staff are great”

“This is my go to spot for Mexican food. Service is great and so is the food. I so love the guacamole that they make in front of you. A good place to relax and get full.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I love this place so much. The employees are so friendly every single time I come in! The food is ALWAYS fresh and it’s actually addicting. The atmosphere is perfect as well. Keep up the great work!”
“It’s been several years since I visited an Arby’s and I always used to really like their food, so since I was in the area one weekday, I stopped in for lunch. The staff working there were really friendly and helpful. The menu is still appetizing, I could only hope that the items I was about to order would be prepared to spec and be as awesome.I tried a couple of their sliders; the Buffalo Chicken and the Jalapeño beef and both were excellent. The Buffalo was fresh, piping hot, and spicy too. I also tried their curly fries and they were OK, but a little on the cool side, so they might have been sitting in the bin before being served. Finally, I tried their Smokehouse Brisket and it was decent, but not nearly as good as those sliders.The lobby was decent, but all the sauces were empty. I asked for sauce at the counter and they gave me packets, as well as came out and filled the containers in the lobby.Overall – it was a nice visit and I’d return.”
“One of the better fast food places in Stafford, and that's not saying much. They almost always get my order right. Food is decent, but prices could be a little more reasonable. French toast sticks are good.”
“My first Chick Fil A meal visiting from England, the food was good, the service was excellent, the young man who served me Taylor was so pleasant and professional, and a credit to this restaurant..”
“Thia is one of the best and most consistently too...Atmosphere is way relaxed, lots of seating spaces and even has a sunroom-ish. But the best part is the food is ALWAYS hit and good and plenty...”
“I've been to this Taco Bell so many times and this particular visit made me want to write a review. I had the best everything. I feel like I got the food you see in the picture but never get. It was so fresh and delicious. My chalupa shell was soft, and all of the toppings were in abundance. Even the soft taco supreme was extra supreme. Whoever is making Taco Bell there so damn delicious please give them what they want because they deserve it.”
“My husband and I have different palates he prefers spicy food, me not so much but we both like Panda Express because of the different selections and options and the food is delicious.Dietary restrictions: They will tell you the ingredients if asked.”
“Honestly I had written off McDonald’s most locations are so awful you get cold gross food and flat soda with rude employees. This McDonalds is top tier I have never had a bad experience here food is always good way better than other locations. Never too busy and there is a blonde girl who works taking orders at the window (drive thru) I don’t know her name she slays super nice and respectful which for McDonald’s at other locations is unheard off. It’s also super close to my new apartment which is another plus. Also if you order cookies here they are always fresh. Which is another plus”
“My family and I ordered takeout, we were in the drive through, when we were at the pickup window there was a line. We were the third car in the line, they had some the fourth car park to prevent the drive through line from getting too long.We ordered an 8 piece fried chicken, green beans, and Cole slaw, they told us we would have to wait a bit if we wanted fried chicken. We had to wait 15 minutes for our order, when the food came we ended up getting an 8 piece fried chicken, green beans, and mashed potatoes with gravy. One of my family members can't eat potatoes, health reasons, that is why we specifically ordered the Cole slaw.”
“What can I say it was an average visit had to wait on my second order of fries as they forgot to add them to the bag yet one young man made sure I got them in a timely fashion wish I caught his name so that I could commend him. Store was having some work done so atmosphere wasn’t all that yet it wasn’t all that bad ”
“It's a solid pub. The food is not quite on the same level as Park Lane (since they have similar menus), but its still real good. Bangers and Mash, Shepards Pie, Reuben Sandwich, all of it is great. Pretty sure owners are some sort of prior service, so support your local veteran owned business.”
“This is the best Chinese in the area besides Hong Kong further down Garrisonville Road. Personally like their General Tso's and Beef and Broccoli (and other Chinese dishes) though their fried chicken wings leave a lot to be desired.”

“Love this place, great selection of froyo and toppings. Not only do they have excellent froyo, but their acai bowls are also great . Only downside is that it can get pricy, but other than that it's awesome.”
“We ordered take out. Got a plain and a pepperoni pie. And let me say it was AMAZING! We moved to VA recently from NYC and it definitely reminds us of the pizza from there. So happy we found you guys and that your so close to where we live.”
“I first visited i ❤️ teriyaki the day they opened. Found them by accident that day. I have been coming back ever since. The food is excellent, large portions, and the owner john is very nice. My daughters, who are all grown up now, ask to go here when they are in town. So i recommend this establishment wholeheartedly.”
“Excellent quality beer, the brown ale was quite lovely. fun chill little place. Think welcoming living room + pleasant home bar attached to a well-outfitted RV campground store and office (just pull up at the store). Dude running it is friendly, and his Weimaraner, the official greeting committee, is a big sweetie pie who will curl up in one of the chairs or come over for pets.”
“I Luv Teriyaki, located on Route 1, has rightfully earned its place as my favorite restaurant in the area. This gem of a dining spot offers an exquisite taste of authentic Japanese cuisine, with a particular highlight being their exceptional teriyaki sauce.Each dish served at I Luv Teriyaki is a testament to the culinary skills of the chefs. The teriyaki sauce, a perfect blend of sweet and savory, is the star of the show. It's rich, flavorful, and has a homemade quality that sets it apart from any other teriyaki sauce I've tasted. Whether it's drizzled over perfectly grilled chicken or mixed into a stir-fry, the sauce elevates every dish to a new level of deliciousness.The ambiance of the restaurant is inviting and cozy, creating a welcoming atmosphere for both new and returning patrons. Service is consistently friendly and efficient, ensuring a pleasant dining experience every time.In summary, I Luv Teriyaki isn't just a restaurant; it's a culinary experience that leaves a lasting impression. Its standout teriyaki sauce and the warm, friendly atmosphere make it a must-visit spot on Route 1 for anyone in search of an authentic and delicious meal.”
“Super excited that this was added to the area! They had a great set up, very open area. The place was very clean! The burger was made amazing as usual. The employees could've had a better approach. They were not the friendliest. The worker that announced the orders was practically whispering the order numbers. They seemed to be irritated by having to make orders. And as you can see from the image there was barely any customers there for they to seem so overwhelmed.”
“We ordered on the Slice app, and the delivery driver left our order at the wrong address (understandable, since we live in an apartment complex where everything looks the same). After the pizza sat outside for over an hour, we eventually found it at our neighbor's. We called the restaurant, and they were very friendly. They sent new pizzas, and the delivery driver apologized. Outstanding customer service. The pizza was delicious!”
“This little vendor has the best soft serve ice cream. I don't like Carl's in Fredericksburg because it has too much custard taste, but this place has it right.”
“I honestly love the food from Al Basha! I've never had a disappointing meal. My favorite dish is the chicken Shawarma meal. The fries are always super crispy and the taste is great. The atmosphere can be a little overwhelming for me because I'm really sensitive to sound and the music is always loud. Other than that, it's a great place to eat.”
“This is the best subway shop I’ve been too, luckily it’s close to where I live so it’s my go to subway. I never get a bad sub, each time it’s just as good as the last and the employees are always so nice!”
“Kabob room has the most delicious food! I have ordered from them several times and everything I’ve ordered has been out of this world. Highly recommend the butter chicken and gryo salad. The staff is so welcoming and true family owned business. You won’t regret ordering from Kabob room absolutely fantastic.”
“Oxtails with Rice and Peas, Plantains, and Cole Slaw omggg the best I have ever had I never had African food before the flavor is amazing. The food was served hot and fresh. I only wish they could put more oxtail on the plate as it seemed more rice and peas than meat other than that it’s a good price and and convenient and the people are very nice.”
“Good food truck parked in the gas station parking lot. Everything made fresh to order. Their main dishes soft tacos ( ckicken, beef steak, Al Pastor) hard shell tacos, quesadillas, pupusas, minutas ( snow cone). They only take $$ CASH $$. Decent food portions and prices. Will definitely keep coming back.?????????”
“Hannah was my absolute savior!! My mom was craving ice cream late night, and it was close to being closed. Maybe 5 minutes before close she made sure I got my pint of peanut butter chocolate ice cream for my mom, I hope she gets blessed in the future!! Thank you Hannah!!”
“Stopped here to access the charging station located behind Fatty's. The establishment has a home town bar atmosphere. Large selection of beers on tap that you pour your own and pay by the ounce. I had a grilled chicken sandwich, my wife had the shrimp basket, and we shared a few sides. We both were very happy with our meals and the service. We will definitely stop again if we are in the area.”
“It is not fancy but a great spot for families. The staff is very kind and responsive. Huge portions, food is pretty good too. I would not do a date night here but it's my go to now for family meals. They make us all feel welcome and can accommodate large groups.my husband is vegan and they accommodate him as well.”
“I'm not going to lie, I order one specific thing here - the Salmon. It's healthy and delicious. If I want to be a bit of a fat kid. I get the sticky rice with mango. It's ”
“Best place around here for some Japanese. I personally am not a fan of Hibachi, but their other dishes make it worth while. The sushi is technically the freshest here in the area, but when your competition is Umi and Sake, that's not saying much. Dining in is a lot of fun with a good wait staff and bar. Overall, the experience is very passable”
“The food here is superb and the drinks here are amazing! I love this place! Only issue is it the drunken noodles when I did takeout were a little…. Odd but overall good place!”
“Basic bar food, nothing Majestic about it. Staff was friendly but don't go with a large group like we did. Meals came out at vastly different times. I was done with my meal before many at our table had been served. Interesting atmosphere if you are into military memorabilia.”

“We ordered take out. Got a plain and a pepperoni pie. And let me say it was AMAZING! We moved to VA recently from NYC and it definitely reminds us of the pizza from there. So happy we found you guys and that your so close to where we live.”
“Nice place to eat. Excellent food choices. Full bar. Friendly staff. Very good band playing that night. I think they were called Justified? I'll definitely be back next time they are there.”
“It's like a hidden gem. From the outside, you can't tell that there are people inside. It's just dark and seems uninviting. The ambiance is humble. But the food is delicious!! Not to mention their affordable prices. I love it here! Fried oreos and yummy burgers and quesadillas. Definitely a go-to place from now in.”
“Fantastic little breakfast. Their bacon was super crispy and tasted great. The potatoes were very good. Definitely would recommend the pancake platter. I will need to go back and try some bagels though.”
“Doesn't look like much from the outside. We decided to give this place a try, the staff was very friendly! We actually really loved the taste of the food. We all got the Trio Roll, it came with a drink and a bag of chips for about $30. As a con or possible improvement for this small business is to maybe offer a bigger portion or multiple rolls for the price. Also, maybe offer fresh lemon wedges to top your rolls with. Overall, great place, highly recommend.”
“The food was amazing and they were super accommodating for a large party of people. The owner was very friendly and the staff were super sweet. Great environment and food !”
“The service here was amazing and the girls at the counter were very attentive.However, as someone who is picky about coffee I was not a fan of the drink I received. I ordered a mocha and I couldn’t taste as chocolate at all (I know they put it in there as I saw it). The coffee was so overpowering that it drowned out the flavor.If you like your coffee to have the campfire, bitter, burnt flavor you would love the coffee here. I prefer smoother coffee, less acidic and less campfire taste as it meshes better with lattes/mochas.It is not the fault of how the coffee is made but the beans they use. I’d say if the flavor of the coffee isn’t a huge deal for you, you’d like it! I personally felt like the coffee itself washed out all other flavors and wasn’t to my taste.”
“I moved back to Stafford at the end of last year, so I'm still becoming familiar with the new food options in the area. I was excited to try Olla Cafe and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Carne Asada and was very happy with the taste! Everything was perfectly seasoned and it was a nice sized portion. Although I can't remember our waitress's name, she was friendly. The other staff members were nice as well. I will definitely return!”
“Food was delicious and have never had issues! We came tonight (3/8) to do pick up. I walked in to get the order and didn’t wait long. The bag was heavy and needed two hands and unfortunately I couldn’t put anyway weight on my left arm due to a recent shoulder surgery. The guy who helped (didn’t get his name, dark hair and glasses) could tell right away. I said I’d get my husband and he said no, he’d walk it out to my car. So he helped me by carrying my heavy HEAVY bag. He was so nice! Thankful for kind people like him! He didn’t even hesitate when I said I couldn’t Carry it!”

“We got seafood boil bags to-go, so we didn’t get to dine in. But we plan to for sure. This place is way better than Red Crab in Fredericksburg, by far. The prices are better and the quality of seafood is better. Often I’m disappointed at these kind of restaurants because it always feels overpriced and not worth it, but here I was satisfied. The mussels, crab clusters, crawfish, and shrimp were really good and good in size to where you don’t feel like you’re getting ripped off.”
“We love this place! I had chicken rice soup it tasted very fresh. My hubby had general tso with white rice…I tried some and it’s the best in the area. I ordered egg rolls and it was delicious. Very friendly and family environment. I will be going here from now on to support this local family owned business.”
“We ordered take out. Got a plain and a pepperoni pie. And let me say it was AMAZING! We moved to VA recently from NYC and it definitely reminds us of the pizza from there. So happy we found you guys and that your so close to where we live.”
“We have eaten here multiple times and every time has been a great experience. The pizza’s are delicious and so is the rest of the food! I’m not sure why some people think otherwise, we have never had any issues.”
“We stay at the hooked on Best Western, on our way up North. This place is convenient when you don’t want to get back in the car. We ate here last year and it was fine. We were a little nervous after the recent reviews, this year. But there’s really not much else in walking distance. We walked in and were promptly greeted by the friendliest bartender, that told us to sit where we like. The bar was pretty full of people and she seemed to be the only one working. So they may be short staffed. We chose a table as we’re a family of 4, and she came right over. We put our drinks in and were told they’re out of French fries, we were fine with that. Drinks were good, food ended up being good, and the manager was rushing all over helping the girl at the bar get the orders out. His name was “Broadway”, I’m almost certain he said. He was really friendly, hard working and gave us great advice on how to get out of the area in the morning to avoid grid lock traffic. We were happy we gave them a chance and we’ll be back again next year!”
“Not only is the food super tasty - the service is incredible. Co-workers and I eat there - we call in our order ahead of time. Sam always takes great care of us and goes out of his way to make sure we have everything we need and more. Highly recommend!”
“I’ve been coming here for years now the night time crew are awesome. Ariel, tj, Jeremiah, Alexis, just to name a few also Steven and basically the whole night crew are the only reason I still come to this Starbucks! They’re courteous, respectful, and make the best drinks!”

“It is one of our favorite fast food places to eat. Food is always delicious, and prices are not bad. Coleslaw is not very consistent but has been good lately. The kids love the fries and the biscuits. Would sure recommend ?”
“Good spot, prices are reasonable and the good quality and staff are on point. I had the Big Mac and Medium Fries ? with chicken Mcnuggets.Kid-friendliness: They had a whole area where kids can play which I found very convenient.”
“My first Chick Fil A meal visiting from England, the food was good, the service was excellent, the young man who served me Taylor was so pleasant and professional, and a credit to this restaurant..”
“Absolutely the best ?.Food (exceptional) fresh, beautifully placed on plates. Atmosphere very comfortable.But by far the best waitress, we had our entire trip. Excellent service, wonderful disposition. We were impressed.Let us add here that we had just left DC on Pennsylvania Ave & Scott Circle, where there is nothing but exceptional food and service, and this Bob Evans took the star for our 5 day trip. Thank you, Bob Evans, for a superb meal & relaxing time spent.Vegetarian options: They offered a new item called: veggies bowls with different flavors. I was surprised by the freshness slightly heated. It was good.”

“Most of the time, the food is very good.The way the food is layered and portions vary depending on the server, which is not the best thing but not a deal breaker.A few times, the brown rice has been undercooked, and last time, the tomatoe salsa had way too many onions, which messed up the taste of the meal a bit and gave us a heartburn after.It is still one of our favorite fast food places to eat. I just hope it was more consistent, especially since it is not cheap.”

“Sarah made our beautiful wedding cake! the tasting box was delicious and truly helped us decide which flavors to go with. She created a detailed cake that includes chocolate Gamache, smooth butter cream, bright flavorful jam filling, and of course the wonderful moist cake.Communication and planning with Sarah was easy. She was responsive and listened to our preferences. We wanted a clean and simple design that would allow our cake topper to pop and she did just that.My family had previously bought two delicious birthday cakes so we were excited to have her make the wedding cake as well.I highly recommend her bakery!”
“The food is great. And I can't say anything on dining in or going through the line..But. I've only ordered online, and for pickup, the pickup spot is a bit awkward. You're sorta camping around the soda fountain area if the place is busy.”
“Food was DELICIOUS! Place VERY CLEAN and inviting. More than likely food was MADE TO ORDER because it wasn’t served at once. The wings really good; the burger nice, juicy and tasty; fries were REALLY good and entire pieces, unlike other places where they serve “crumbles” as fries they also serve fried rice and it is the real deal. I don’t know why is this place 3.9 because it should be very high 4. I don’t think you would regret visiting it.”
“New just opened recently but you can tell the stuff is well trained food is very good everyone had a smile on their face when we walked in excellent serviceParking: Spots available right up front”
“I've never seen a location like this. Given the location, I understand the design but it still was a bit awkward walking into this very obviously 'built for drive-thru' restaurant. The dining area kinda felt like the middle of a mall food court and there was one very narrow lane that led to two registers. Could not see the kitchen or anything being prepared, there is literally nothing as far as condiments and napkins go. The only thing you can take from walking in is your receipt and your food and drink that is brought from a corner behind the registers. You would be hard pressed to know this was a Chick Fil A if not for the menu behind the registers. Service was nice though and the food was great as always, I guess having worked at Chick Fil A(opened one actually) as my first job at 16 years old, I always loved the welcoming atmosphere, the greetings from employees serving food or cleaning the dining area, and the hustle and bustle of the well oiled machine that is their front of the house area. Hit the drive thru for this one, it was built for it...and that is ok!”
“This location JUST opened last week. I hope the staff that is running it now stays around. The service is lightning fast and the food fresh and piping hot. The cashier welcomed me sincerely, and spoke clearly, with a friendly attitude. The manager was on hand training the crew member on working the register, but both did a great job. This team raises the bar for the McDonald's chain. This team is off to a GREAT start!”
“Exceptional and friendly service. We had a group of about 20 people, and the staff went above and beyond to make it a special night for us. Fun live music and great beer!”
