“My Tastebuds we’re having a party. The food was succulent and scrumptious. I felt like I had gone back to Spain. It is a must for anyone who appreciates good food. Cannot stop telling my friends how delicious the food was.”
“Great food and excellent service! Mr. Mo was warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. He brought a positive energy to the table and made us feel genuinely cared for. We loved the food and had a wonderful experience overall”

“From out of town and went here for a more relaxed casual atmosphere. Although we were on a time crunch. The bar tender was awesome in getting us on our way. The pizza had a zest to it that was unexpectedly delicious!! The crust was cooked perfectly and soft on the inside. So darn good! We are eating it again just one day later because we want to get our fill while we are here! Everything else is a waste of money. 😂”
“Wanted a quick snack before popping into work and SO glad I stumbled upon this NEW Afghan spot! Definitely gonna have to come back and try literally everything.. the portion size of the plates coming out the kitchen on top of the amazing smells like fresh baked naan, I already told the owner to expect me weekly!! The owner, Sharif (hope I’m spelling that right) was super kind, enthusiastic and excited to share his hard work with everyone after a year long wait. I’m excited to see what else is in store for this authentic, delicious spot!”
“HIGHLY recommend booking your private event at Meows Corner!! My whole party was welcomed and made to feel at home with the cats! The owner went above and beyond to make sure that my birthday party was special and we all felt accommodated. I have come here several times to visit the cats previously and out of all the cat lounges I have been to, this one stands out for succeeding at giving cats a safe and stress-free place to call their temporary home. I can’t thank you enough for making my party and I have such an incredible experience!”
“This food is FIRE!!🔥🔥🔥 FOOD IS DELICIOUS!! Went to brunch this past weekend and will definitely returning. Keenah was very kind, informative and provided great table service. Great price point, food and drinks was excellent. Establishment was neat and clean, great decor. Definitely a great place to eat!!!”
“No character count could capture how amazing Jamie been to my family. Sunshine or sundown, if she’s there, we’re laughing, we feel at home, and like we’re her favorite people in the place. Jamie’s the reason we keep coming back. Tonight wasn’t a great night for this mom— I stoped in and left smiling and laughing because of her. Thank you, Jamie and Team 💕”
“Best Thai restaurant in my life. Correction, perhaps one of the best restaurants in my life. Exquisite food, exceptional service, beautiful atmosphere, I am at a loss of superlative words because it's really great. I found out about this restaurant last Sunday and it hasn't even been a week and I've already been here 4 times, make it 5 next week because I already know where to eat for my birthday. Matter of fact, I already look forward to dining here with my future wife for our anniversary. Food: Prepared in a timely manner, not too fast that it's suspiciously fastfood like, but not so slow that I'm starving myself to death. The presentation is Michelin Star worthy, it is a must to photograph and appreciate the beauty of the dishes presented. The food is deliciously seasoned, not too salty or not too spicy, the seasoning is carefully and eloquently calculated. The sauces have the perfect texture, flavor, and tanginess. The proteins are of good quality that make for soft, tender, and juicy bites. The veggies are fresh and prepared to perfection with the right amount, not too much that I'm paying for a salad, but enough to provide some freshness and crispiness to the dishes. There is a great variety of dishes so there is something for anyone. Food checks are also provided to assure that the quality of the meals are always consistent. Drinks: The Thai tea is stellar, perfect. A little too sweet for my usual preferences, but combined with their water it creates for a perfect hydration combo to cleanse the pallate and fully savor the delicious Thai cuisine flavors. Their bar contains a great variety of drinks and spirits which I look forward to trying out soon. Service: They have some of the friendliest, most efficient, and knowledgeable servers. Always smiling, refilling water cups, answering all sorts of questions, and paying attention that the guests are taken care of properly. Even if the food wasn't as good as it is, I would definitely come back for consistent and respectful service. Atmosphere: Comfortable seating, warm and relaxed lighting, and an authentic aesthetic of Thailand culture. The interior designer did an amazing job making the inside feel elegant and inviting while incorporating Thai elements without overdoing it too much. TLDR: the best Thai ever.”
“Love the food and outdoor seating. Great for get together and family meals.”

“I was in the area one morning last week needing gas and stumbled upon this place inside the gas station. I ordered 2 breakfast tacos. They were of nice size and the price was fair but it was weird that I had to pay first. They give you a little paper with a price and you go to the register to pay.
Parking: It’s located inside the Exxon”
“I had a fantastic experience at this location! The restaurant was absolutely spotless, which I really appreciated.
I ordered the Biggie Bundle, and it was a great value—the food came out piping hot and delicious. The staff here are wonderful; they were very friendly and actually helped me make up my mind when I couldn't decide what to get.
Great food, clean environment, and excellent service. I will definitely be back!”
“This Starbucks at the airport was just below average. The employees were clearly overwhelmed and struggling to keep up, which led to multiple order mistakes. It seemed like they were short-staffed or under a lot of pressure, and while they were trying their best, the experience felt chaotic. The coffee was fine once we finally got the correct order, but the long wait and confusion made it frustrating. Hopefully, management can provide more support to the team to improve efficiency.”
“This is one of the best Korean BBQ place in Sterling area!!! Their meat is always top quality and their service is awesome!!! Don’t spend twice as much in an expensive Korean steakhouse, spend less and get more… you would be wise to do so 😋”

“OMG! Where do I start...From the unassuming quaint colonial home to the wonderful welcoming of Mona herself. You will fall in love with Mona and this place immediately! It's just like walking into your own Grandma's home and Mona makes you feel that way too! We were traveling from out of town to a customer's location near here and were looking for a different dining experience. Boy, Mona did not disappoint! We ordered Baba Ganouj, Beef Shwarma and Lamb with Rice. For dessert we had Rice Pudding and Knafe Bel Jibne. The smoke on the pitas and Baba Ganouj was amazing and I don't like smoke on ANYTHING! I don't care for lamb but tried my business partner's meal and LOVED IT! Mona has definitely won me over hands down! The Shwarma was like nothing I have ever had before. And as a BIG pickle lover, this was a hit! The Rice Pudding was very delicate and a perfect ending to a perfect meal. We ordered the Knafe Bel Jibne as we were very curious. It is a warm sweet treat with a very slight hint of savory which comes from the pistachios - YUM! Mona cooks everything herself to order with LOVE! This is such an AMAZING AND UNIQUE dining experience and hidden GEM! This place is a MUST! When you go there, tell Mona that Kat and Rob sent you!”
“I live in Fairfax and used to order from the McLean and Falls Church locations. Ever since I tried the Southbank store, it has become my go-to spot. The quality is consistently excellent, and the staff are always welcoming and friendly, no matter the time of the day.
My last visit was especially memorable. Accidents happen, and the lid on my drink wasn't secured properly, which resulted in a spill on my sweater and in my car. Kenny, the owner, handled the situation with kindness and professionalism and went out of his way to make things right. His excellent customer service left a lasting impression on me. This location has earned my loyalty, and it will be my go-to spot from now on.”
“delicious sounthern cooking! my favorite was the hush puppies bur everything was top notch! ❤️ God bless ✝️”

“I came in after ordering online, and while the wait was a little longer than expected, the food was fantastic! A simple menu, delicious food, and a staff who is communicative and friendly, and will let you know when your order will come out if you ask. It's attached to the Tea Dm, so you can get a boba tea while you wait!”
“Was in a bind and way behind over the Christmas celebration with a wife who is gluten sensitive and has a birthday on Christmas Eve. Did an order in the AM and drove over to check out the place and glad I did as they were super busy and usually get orders weeks in advance. Chef Dennis did some magic and delivered an amazing teal colored (her favorite color) cake with yellow butter cake and chocolate butter icing. Definitely was a huge hit, and will get in front of this for my next order.”
“Edibles Incredible was absolutely amazing to work with, I would confidently recommend them to anyone in need of specialty cakes! Jim was incredibly personable and made the entire wedding cake design process so easy, I genuinely can't imagine a better person to design a cake with. The team at Edibles Incredible absolutely nailed the design execution, bringing my exact vision to life perfectly! The flavors were fantastic and the delicate design was magical to behold, I'm so grateful to the entire team for all of their efforts in making my dream wedding cake a reality. If you're in need of a cake for any special occasion (cupcakes too!), I would highly recommend booking with Edibles Incredible!”

“Food tastes great and there's a decent amount of options. The place itself is nice with the store being clean and maintained well. The accessibility could be a little better though cause pathways are fairly narrow and the tables/chairs are very high and kinda small.”
“I love their Peruvian food!!! They have the best sandwiches with the most popular Peruvian food like Lomo saltado, chicharrón, pollo salad, jamón, y tamales!!! Mom & Papa’s business clean, kind, neat, and pleasant experience. Try their natural fruit shakes!!! Highly recommended!”
“Nectar Cocktail Bar is amazing! I used to host open mic nights here with my band, and we also played gigs here. The service from everyone working there during that time was incredible, and we always had such a great experience hosting events there. The food is delicious, and the drinks are absolutely top-tier. I highly recommend this place!”
“Ameena gave amazing customer service, i would highly recommended coming here for the amazing food, hookah and service especially from Ameena”
“This my first time being there and eating at a sushi buffet. Excellent food quality and Perfect customer service. Employees really care for their customers.”

“We just had our daughter’s 5th birthday at Chuck E. Cheese and the ease of the process was wonderful. The employees in charge of the party were very detail oriented, kind, and helpful. The facility was a clean and inviting. The pizza was delicious and the birthday party experience was top notch. I highly recommend the Sterling Chuck E. Cheese to anyone that needs a location for a children’s birthday party.”

“The best Pakistani food in Loudoun county. Lamb curry on Friday only. Foods is very flavorful, delicious. I always ordered lamb biryani to go and enjoyed lamb/chicken curry and nasi lemak at the buffet. The price is reasonable, compared to other restaurants in the area. I highly recommend this restaurant.”
“Ate there today, Sunday, and what great food! The family ordered a bit of everything on the menu so we all could share (huge portions) Pulled pork, chicken livers, large catfish plate, and big spicy, crispy wings. Collards, Mac and cheese and especially the yams were great. No room for cake this trip but hope to try again very soon. If you want home cooked, southern style soul food, this is the place to head to.”

“I had an incredible dining experience at Brazza Steaks, the Venezuelan restaurant. Everything about this place was amazing. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at home. Carlos, the owner, took the time to sit down and chat with us. His passion for the food and his friendliness made the experience even more special. The server was awesome, offering fantastic recommendations that truly enhanced our meal. The food was exceptional, with each dish bursting with authentic Venezuelan flavors. I can't recommend Brazza Steaks enough; it's a must-visit for anyone looking for a delightful meal for a great price!”

“I stopped by Olive Garden on a busy Sunday night during the dinner rush and sat at the bar since it was just me. All I wanted was the unlimited soup and salad, and I told Marvin he could bring me two soups at a time since I eat pretty quickly and wanted to save him some extra trips. Marvin reassured me that it wasn’t a problem and made sure I was well taken care of all night. He was extremely attentive, kept everything refilled, and made sure I always had the cheese and anything else I needed. I really appreciated Marvin’s great service, especially with how busy the restaurant was.”
“I was there today the food is always great most of the staff is very attentive and friendly but the restaurants always dirty I have to wipe off my own table and chairs and I don't know what the problem is with the cashier but she always seems to have an attitude if she doesn't like ringing up a white girl maybe she should go back to where she's from she's never polite with me when she checks me out other than that the food is fantastic but I do usually get it to go just because the place is always disgusting”

“I loved the atmosphere with a spacious parking lot conveniently located right next to the building.
The pastries and were delicious, and the customer service was excellent. Despite being busy, Anthony was especially friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back!”
“The food is great. Today life happened and sevel mishaps took place. My sausage didn't come out with my plate, my coffee cup was filthy, and then I got a bunch of coffee grounds in my clean coffee cup twice. But through it all Andre maintained his composure and delivered excellent service through all of the mishaps which truthfully, helped me maintain mine.”
“I can't believe I'm able to get high-quality, medium-rare lamb chops at a fast casual place! They also do something to the fries to make them like the best fries I've ever had. The portions are generous including the yogurt sauce (important) and the vibe is relaxed. Not that many drink options so I came in with coffee from next door.”
“I’ve been to several Taco Bamba locations in Maryland, and while the food is always fantastic, the Sterling location really stands out because of the service. The tacos are as creative and delicious as ever, but what keeps bringing us back is how friendly and welcoming the staff is. Everyone has been consistently helpful, attentive, and genuinely seems to care that you have a great experience. Great food is expected at Taco Bamba, but outstanding service makes this location my favorite. Keep up the great work!”
“Great food. They serve authentic Vietnamese food. Everything is well plated with family style portions”
