“Good food. Need to give better napkins“

“An unforgettable taste of home Zibibbo 73 is everything you hope for when you’re craving true Italian food — and so much more. From the moment you walk in, you feel it: this is a family-owned restaurant rooted in love, tradition, and genuine care for their guests. The food instantly transported me back to Italy and reminded me of my own family back home. Every dish tasted authentic, thoughtfully prepared, and full of soul — the kind of cooking you can’t fake. Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. What truly sets Zibibbo 73 apart, though, is the people. The owners and staff are incredibly personable and welcoming. They take the time to get to know you, to talk with you, and to make you feel like more than just another table. There was never a sense of being rushed — only warmth, attentiveness, and hospitality that feels deeply personal. And the drinks? Beautifully crafted works of art. Balanced, elegant, and clearly made with intention — the perfect complement to an already incredible meal. Zibibbo 73 isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience that feels like being welcomed into someone’s home. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food, heartfelt hospitality, and a place that leaves a lasting impression, this is it. I can’t wait to return.“

“I love their teriyaki beef on a stick. Best chinese restaurant in town. The server is nice and friendly. The restroom is clean. Overall it was a good place to celebrate mother's day. The best Chinese restaurant in Stafford. I thoughtfully recommend it.“

“Amazing service Perfect wings Flawless ranch 11/10“

“I recently tried the wings and Philly steak and they were absolutely delicious! The service was excellent and impressively fast, making the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend for a satisfying meal“

“My go-to dishes are:

- Singapore Noodles (shrimp only). They add beef and chicken which I don't care for. It can be dry so I often add a little oil and water when reheating.

- Salt & Pepper chicken is really tasty. Some chicken pieces were a bit dry and stringy bit it tastes great.

- Pork, Shrimp egg rolls are really good.

- Fried shrimp, chicken wings super tasty. Wings skin can sometimes be rubbery.

General Tsos is a no go. The sauce was too congealed and didn't taste good.

They offer a lot but not all is good just like most Chinese places you find what they do that you like and you're good to go.

Delivery is always smooth and drivers are cool. Went in a couple of times and service there was fine as well.“

“Ty was super helpful and friendly! I plan to ask to be seated in his section next time I go to Bonefish. The food was phenomenal!“

“Hey Fast Foodies, on my journey to Washington, DC. I stopped at this crab spot that I heard so much about on FB. This day they were serving they're famous $1 crabs. #2 males with a nice mild sweetness, the good mustard, different sizes but taste so so good with a wonderful price. This spot is a hidden treasure. The beautiful young lady at the window is very knowledgeable and great with the customer service. This is definitely a put the truck in reverse and come back again and again!!“

“Sean has the best customer service. I've been here multiple times and he is the most polite and respectful young man. obviously the food is excellent but when you combine great food with great customer service you get a very good local spot that I'm glad we have in our little spot of Virginia.“

“Visited here yesterday at 5:00'ish. This restaurant is very busy & the food is fantastic. This was my party's first visit here.

Mixed experience. The waitstaff here deserves 5 stars, but the host/hostess stand deserves 0 (sorry, not even a 1 that a smile alone would have warranted). Unfortunately a 0 & a 5 equals a 2.5 ⭐ rating for service. Since I was unable to give a 2.5 I rounded up to a 3 in favor of the server.

The Bad: Hostesses/check-in staff were not friendly at all, not smiling or exchanging even slight pleasantries upon your arrival. Not sure if they got overwhelmed due to a full restaurant with people waiting in the front & outside to be seated (though I think that would be expected on Memorial Day weekend), but the general feeling was rushed, overwhelmed & inconvenienced by your arrival. They seemed to treat everyone this way whether they were people dining in, taking out, or delivery drivers. There seemed to be a lack of communication between people working there & the waitstaff and kitchen. The entire front-of-restaurant vibe was unprofessional, uncomfortable & tense, and I feel management needs to address this as it sets the tone for the night, or at least the early part of it.

The Good: The 3 stars for service is all due to the servers here, who are very friendly & deserve 5 stars!

Our waitress was absolutely phenomenal. She was attentive, friendly, and saved the evening. The food was delicious and well-prepared. It even smelled wonderful while we waited in the front and smelled orders leaving the restaurant. Timing was about what you would expect for it being very busy.

Overall, I liked the restaurant but the initial entry experience was highly disappointing. One member of my party said she was not impressed & that it left such a bad impression of the restaurant that she will not return. I might give them another try, but probably not at a busy hour or on a holiday based on this experience.“

“El Rey Mexican Bar &Restaurant have the best molcajete.“

“Best wings I've had in a long time, had 3 different flavors, all delicious 😋“

“Good food for reasonable prices I refer people all the time in this restaurant“

“Order was delivered early by Uber Eats, wings were great, my Italian fiancée loved the baklava, he said it was the best he ever had and he loves his sweets!!“

“Food was amazing, hot fresh etc...server and host was amazing. Got seated promptly. Service was top notch. This was first visit and we will be back! We went valentines day and they really had everything together couldn't tell it was a special event, expected slow service and delays...none of that!“

“The service was outstanding, friendly, attentive, and genuinely focused on making sure we had a great time. Even though I personally don’t eat seafood, there were still plenty of great options for me, and everything I ordered was absolutely amazing. You can really tell they take pride in the quality of the food they serve. The manager even took the time to come by our table, check on us, and make sure everything was perfect. Between the incredible food, excellent service, and the welcoming atmosphere, it made for a truly great dining experience. We left very impressed and will definitely be back again soon. If you’re in Fredericksburg and looking for a place with great food and amazing service, I highly recommend The Port Oysteria & Bar!“

“My absolute favorite fish and chicken & the meal of course can't be complete without the little hushpuppies and fries and an extra little special box of those delicious crumbs! I grew up loving Long John Silver's & it will always be one of my favorites! PLUS, they always have it decorated inside & have the bell 🔔 to ring for good customer service when you leave giving you that feeling of actually being out on the water eating your meal which is really cool. 💙💛“

“I've always had a pleasant experience with Otani whenever I go out to eat here. The staff are nice and friendly, and the portions are generous. They're also slightly cheaper compared to other hibachi restaurants around the area. Can't go wrong with Otani!“

“love the food. always quick and on time.“

“We have eaten at Olde Towne Steak and Seafood for many years. The owner always is so friendly and treats us so special when we are there. The staff are very courteous and friendly. We always get an excellent meal and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Reverend Rick Ritchie and Jan Ritchie“

“Everything about this plane is amazing! Atmosphere, service and the food! Best crab cake I’ve ever had and the ribeye was delicious and then the dessert! Wow the cheesecake our group had was mouthwatering! Can’t wait for the next visit!“

“The staff is very professional and friendly. I was a bit upset when I arrived due to my interaction with the call center.

The GM was very good at de-escalating my frustration and even offered me a free dessert. She was fantastic!“
