“From the aussie rolls to the ribs, our Wednesday family dinner was absolutely delicious. Our server, Juan, was very friendly and efficient. Service with a smile! We were very happy with the quality of each of our meals. Sweetwater never fails to satisfy!”
“My niece and I came for the Tamales cooking class. Chef Tomas was the best. Very friendly and his love for cooking is contagious. Our tasting included the Tamales, tacos and empanada. All DELICIOUS. We ended staying for the cocktail class. Lots of fun. Great vibe. Great people. Samet was our instructor for the Tequila tasting. He too was very friendly and made the whole experience a lot of fun. We drove from Baltimore for the event today and it was well worth it. We'll be back.”
“Been coming here for 4 years and it’s awesome every single time. From the bartenders to the waiters and manager. Just a great experience over all. Reasonably priced drinks and bar food!Update: It is now 2024, and I still come here to hang out with friends and do my social gatherings. Jeff is my favorite bartender, he is always so attentive and funny. Makes the experience of coming to millers worthwhile!”
“Interesting and tasty cuisine. A modern take on Italian. The menu changes, so do not count on reading the menu online on other menu sites. I had the wedge salad antipasto and it was good. Plus, the roast beef sandwich. Bread used in appetizers was good and super fresh.”
“Went there for a friend's retirement party. We had heavy apps only, but they were awesome. Teriyaki wings were fire. Place has a relaxed, vacation resort bar and restaurant feel. Upscale menu and drinks. Engaged and friendly wait staff.”

“The spinach salad was exceptional! Sabita asked if I would like to add chicken. I did - it was fabulous! Sabita was quite pleasant. The Pino Grigio was very smooth.”
“As a Lebanese American , I'm thrilled to stumble upon a genuine , locally-owned small restaurant that serves authentic lebanese menu.While it may be a bit on the pricier side, the quality is evident in the taste. I usually enjoy cooking at home, but this place makes me feel like I’m home away from home!”
“This place has the best north Indian food in Sterling. The garlic naan and malai kofta are amazing and they always customize the spice levels perfectly. The white rice is always very fragrant and cooked to perfection. The mango lassi here is one of the best I’ve tried and the indo chinese is also great. The prices are very reasonable. Be sure to try this place if you love good Indian food.”

“I'm a frequent customer, I went after 2 years and that place change in a good way, a new menu with really good venezuelan food, the steak on sticks is really fantastic and the venezuelan experience at the service of Mr Carlos who is and really friendly and charismatic person like most of the venezuelan people!”

“This is my new chicken sandwich spot. The spicy chicken sandwich is just too freaking good, although I think it's a lunch special only item. Every time I come here both the gentlemen that man the front counter depending on who is working are always so nice and welcoming. The seating area is always clean. I suggest calling and ordering ahead because it does take some time to get the food ready (about 15-20 minutes). If you love extra crunchy and crispy chicken look no further.”
“:)100/100this is the best shawarmai ever had so delicious and saucesare just so good never had that kind of shawarma before and no one can beat it so juicy and quantity and their quality both so good..-soymm”

“This place is the truth!! Food was delicious, cooked well, and hot. Service was awesome. The food is cooked to order and so there may be a wait, but worth it. I had the whiting fish and lemon pepper chicken wings. Would definitely visit again.”

“At the top of our list for quick lunch especially when Weston the mood for Pizza. Pizzas are always fresh, crisped up in the wood oven, fast and friendly service. And they have the best root beer in the universe, Sprecher.”

Sushi Mori
“What can I say...First time trying this place.So delicious, and fresh, and prices are reasonable.Definitely recommend if you are looking for high-quality sushi ?”
“I don’t normally write reviews but this place is amazing. I don’t know how there wasn’t a large crowd. Complimentary edamame, spring rolls and cheesecake bites! Service was outstanding too! Food is great!!”
“Dog friendly and ample outdoor seating. Excellent menu, but a bit pricey, even for NoVA. Front of house is a little scattered but wait staff and kitchen are squared away. I've had enough from their menu to tell you they're extremely consistently delicious.If you save room for dessert and don't like anything on their menu, try abbots frozen custard next door, best ice cream you've ever had.”
Online Reservation Available
“I have been coming here for years ever since they opened and the food has remained consistent and delicious. It is by far my favorite Thai food in all of DMV. The tofu with Chilli basil and the red curry are my fav go to dishes and hit the spot every time. If you love Thai food be sure to try this spot as it is by far the best in the area.”

“Wow what a great find. Ordered pizza and wings from here tonight for the games. Pizza is absolutely amazing the cheese used is like lasagna cheese underneath the top cheese . Very tasty prepared great.Support small business.”

“My husband and I checked out this place for the first time after seeing that they host a 90s r&b brunch on Sundays. The inside aesthetic was a vibe and the DJ was playing a good mix of 90s and early 2000s music. They had a guy selling cigars on the patio and they also offer hookah.Food: The brunch menu is a different menu from their regular menu with a handful of brunch items (not much was Greek food which was a little disappointing) including bottomless mimosas. They offer three brunch pricing options and we opted for the $59 per person 3 course + bottomless mimosas. We received a bread and spreads board, one appetizer each and one entree each for this price plus a mimosa bar where they bring a carafe of champagne to your table and you make your own mimosa (or Bloody Mary) at their drink bar. They had a good choice of syrups, juices and fixins for a Bloody Mary or mimosa. We both ended up ordering the chicken and waffles which was a fried chicken breast on top of two waffles with butter and super diabetically sweet syrup on top of the waffles. I will say the meal was good, however the fried chicken (while fresh and hot) was a bit bland and needed the super sweet syrup or maybe hot sauce to add flavor.Service: service was alright in my opinion. The place was pretty empty and our server was very nice, however it was odd to me seeing our server as well as the other servers smoking hookah and chilling in the booths and tables like they were just hanging out. I do get that there wasn’t many patrons/customers so they didn’t have much to do, but I guess I would just rather not see it while I’m dining. At times our server took quite a bit to come back to check on us or take our other orders and it was mostly due to her talking and hanging out. The DJ and other guy (not sure if he was the promoter or staff) with him was extremely friendly and offered us drinks on him which was. A kind sentiment (we never got those drinks though lol).Overall, I think this place was really nice and I believe that they will improve once they have been doing the Sunday brunch a little longer. I’m pretty sure they just started doing the Sunday brunch and not many people know about it yet. I would come back and try out their dinner since I really wanted to try more Greek food”
“First day going here a couple days ago the service was good the atmosphere is good the food's pretty good the meatball parmesan Subs was decent the fries were decent the Hawaiian pizza was okay the pepperoni pizza was good the sauce was very good they do have a full bar and it is a different type of menu which I've included in the pictures we do highly recommend to visit to here for the younger adults and older adults this is definitely not a kid friendly restaurant and it's not family oriented to bring kids with you they do have a full bar they do have a lot of TV so you can watch the sports and stuff in there and they do serve hard liquor as well so I don't recommend bringing young children here but this location was very decent just like the other locations and I've been doing this do recommend a visit to here for those looking for some pretty good food be expecting the pizzas as you can see on the pictures of the menu a lot most of them are already preset but they do have options and different things and you will enjoy yourself you will have a good time hereParking: Parking can be difficult at this location because of where it is in all the businesses and condos around it that on top of businessesWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking and wheelchair accessible entrance and at tables”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Royal Palm Restaurant, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by the kind owner. Their genuine passion for food and dedication to customer satisfaction was evident throughout.Now, let's talk about the food. Each dish from the buffet option we tried was bursting with flavor. From appetizers to desserts, every bite was a delight to the senses. There where many options in the buffet to enjoy and we loved it all.But what truly set this restaurant apart was the personal touch provided by the owner. Not only did they ensure that every guest felt welcomed and appreciated, but they also took the time to chat with us sharing stories behind the dishes and making us feel like part of the family.If you're looking for exceptional food in budget ,impeccable service, and the warm embrace of a kind owner who truly cares about their guests, then look no further. This restaurant is a gem, and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience.”
“Ordered one order of orange chicken and they delivered it to me in under 10 minutes. The fried rice is fresh the vegetables tasted fresh. The chicken mostly white meat. I can tell they use clean oil when cooking the rice. The food tastes very good.”
“Consistently good, I did quite a bit of DoorDashing When we were locked down and continue to order from Café Rice and kebab even afterward. My go to is the chicken kebab and I'm hooked on the chickpeas. I wish there was an option to get a bigger salad because I love the salad with my meal. The Gyro was also very good as well as the rice pudding.”
“Chuys is an excellent Tex-Mex restaurant with reasonable prices. Their servings are generous, often enough to be shared between two people unless one is particularly hungry. In addition to salsa, they offer complimentary dips for the chips listed on the menu. If you're interested, It's widely regarded as the top Tex-Mex spot in Washington D.C. and the surrounding area.”
“First visit & had such a great time. There are multiple food options & a brewery all in same location. Sangria special (pear & guava) tonight was so so good.”
“We ordered on line for take out and arrived early so it was not quite ready. The manager talked to my husband and was very friendly and working hard to make this Red Lobster a great experience for dine in or take out. We ordered the shrimp special and it was huge and packaged perfectly in aluminum pans and nice carry carton for those delicious biscuits. The salad was beautiful and everything was exactly as we ordered it. We like this location and hope it can succeed as many other restaurants in the area have not. This manager is doing a fantastic job! We totally appreciate the military discount and the free shrimp voucher we received for Veteran’s Day!”
“Tried to give this place another shot since it was so good when it opened, but the food has sadly continued in a downward trend. ‘Parmesan garlic fries’ barely had salt on them and the biscuit keeps shrinking (though it’s still a good biscuit). Still disappointed that they got rid of the French toast sticks and potato home fries which were our favorite”
“we love the wax replicas of the food. Just like in Asia! The service is efficient. Our favorites are the crispy beef and the moo shu chicken. Hoping to try the shredded potatoes soon. Does anyone have an opinion on them?”
“I found the service at this establishment to be satisfactory, and the food was decent, though not exceptional. However, my dining experience was marred by the excessive focus on happy hour margarita specials and the lack of clear separation between the bar area and the dining room. This resulted in loud and disruptive behavior from intoxicated patrons, both at the bar and at nearby tables. Additionally, I observed instances where the server seemed overly eager to continue serving drinks to individuals who were already visibly intoxicated, which detracted from the overall atmosphere and enjoyment of the meal”
“Great food and nice ambience. Value for money for the lunch buffet. Their goat curry was good. Owners were welcoming and ambience is good. Buffet had good options for both vegetarians and non ”
“Had the chicken pad Thai and ordered it "Thai hot" and was not disappointed. It could have been spicier, but it was still very good. Highly recommend and glad my coworker found it because I would have looked right over the place because I don't eat seafood so wouldn't have looked at a restaurant named "The Seafood Lover"!”
24 Hour Restaurants
“My son did not know school was canceled the other day and got ready for me to take him to school. Instead of school we went to IHOP. He was super surprised! It's one of his favorite places! Good choices of breakfast food always hot and delicious.”
“It’s fast food. Food was …. Fast as it should be. Location gets a lot of to-go customers. Great place to read morning newspaper if you’re still into that. Quiet. Parking is ample. Clean enough food joint.”
“On January the 6th 2024 I placed an order at 5:00 a.m. for my wife and I. Part of my order included milkshakes but the milkshake machine doesn't run at that hour though I was grouchy at the time and I do apologize the older gentleman behind the counter took very good care of my wife and I. He refunded me for the shakes and gave us 2 cups for the fountain. I feel bad about being grumpy. This McDonald's is top notch.”
“This place is amazing. I have done work functions here as well as dining with friends. My wife and I love this place. Food is really good. So many of our friends and coworkers make this an often visited place.”
“I was in the area and was hungry for Desi Food. I found CLOVE online and decided to try them out. The second I stepped in, I knew it was going to be special. Beautifully decorated, I knew I would have a fantastic experience in our booth.The servers were so friendly! And I believe I also met the owner.Other restaurants need to study this place when it comes to service. The staff was amazing and seemed so happy to even be there! The food was so freaking good too. Everything about this place was amazing. Definitely will be back! Probably soon too.If Yall looking best spot for Sahoor then this is the perfect spot for sure. ?/?.“Excellent Hookah, nice atmosphere, Outdoor seating, and quick service.”
“Officially the best brewery of the area, sorry, no of the state! Incredible beer, super nice and knowledgeable staff and great vibe! To top it off you can get some solid tacos while sipping on delicious beer! Think no longer”
Takeout Restaurants
“Joe’s Cafe is a local hole in the wall restaurant that serves awesome breakfast and lunch options. The vibes are awesome and love that the horrible cell service forces you to interact with people in person. The servers are super personable and they always take good care of you. The price point is also super reasonable. Be ready to have a wait if you go during peak brunch hours on the weekend.”
“Best darn halal food in the area. Great flavor. Good size and great value. Got the chicken over rice and combo over rice. Both with white sauce. Phenomenal! The spicy sauce goes best with combo as chicken has a small little kick to it already. Will definitely be back.”
“The people here are just plain awesome and only their food outshines their awesomeness!We have lunch here at least once a week and El Fresco has never failed to deliver.It is Tex-Mex food made with the absolute freshest of ingredients. We swear you can taste the sunshine in the tomatoes used for the many varieties of salsa. Salsa that comes free with a huge helping of the best chips anywhere.We can vouch for anything shrimp having had both the shrimp quesadillas and the handheld shrimp burritos. Both of these are stuffed with fantastic shrimp and the very best of ingredients. (The burrito the winner of any we have ever had and we have had dozens!) All the proteins are of exceptional quality; pork, chicken, steak, etc.The nachos are in a category by themselves -- A delicious monster size helping which we swore we could not finish but oh, look -- we did!There is a terrific lunch menu which runs until the unusual hour of 4:00 p.m. which accommodates us workaholics who will suddenly look at the clock and realize lunch time has passed!We have not had anything of less than stellar quality in the dozens of times we have eaten here.The restaurant is always found in pristine condition as the manager personally takes the time to clean up on a regular basis; you can tell he takes pride in both the facility and the food.NVCC students take note: El Fresco is directly across the street from campus and it offers a 15% discount for students. Such a deal; we wish we were still in school!Please give El Fresco a try as the food is the best Tex-Mex to be found anywhere in the area.”
“The spinach salad was exceptional! Sabita asked if I would like to add chicken. I did - it was fabulous! Sabita was quite pleasant. The Pino Grigio was very smooth.”
“Food is great as all mission BBQ.Service and welcome from the team is awesome. We were welcomed the moment we stepped in from the staff, who were about 25 feet away. It made my wife smile ear to ear ear when they said loudly “welcome folks!”In the way our same thing, “have a great night folks”Super friendly made you feel like the only customer.Had the burger to change things up from the typical BBQ I get and it was awesome!”
“Just regular coffee here is very good. I stopped making it at home and drive less than a mile to get a cup here now.The customer support or atmosphere is hit or miss I'm learning. Some days its over the top polite, and some days its strange grins and a judgey vibe. This is expected from very young girls who seem to be the majority of the employees.Another annoyance is when I get my change back, there is a attempt to balance my coins on top of the bills an they hand it back holding the bills end to end with the coins on top, and every time the coins end up on the ground. Last time the lady made a comment, "what was that, just a penny?" When it was pretty obvious all of my change was dumped. I had to back up and get out and pick it up. Luckily there was nobody behind me.”
“Just moved to this area seriously 3 hours ago and we have been blessed to meet the new hire Elizabeth and server Jamie! Both were nothing but friendly, welcoming and so FUN to talk to! The second my drink was empty I was asked for refill! Great service and I will be for sure coming back! 10/10 highly ”
“As a Lebanese American , I'm thrilled to stumble upon a genuine , locally-owned small restaurant that serves authentic lebanese menu.While it may be a bit on the pricier side, the quality is evident in the taste. I usually enjoy cooking at home, but this place makes me feel like I’m home away from home!”
“I get so jealous of my family eating all the cupcakes and fresh baked goods I use to enjoy. Once I developed this food sensitivity it was almost impossible to find ready-made pastries. I love this shop, and the service is wonderful. 10/10 recommend.Dietary restrictions: I'm gluten free.”
“This place has the best north Indian food in Sterling. The garlic naan and malai kofta are amazing and they always customize the spice levels perfectly. The white rice is always very fragrant and cooked to perfection. The mango lassi here is one of the best I’ve tried and the indo chinese is also great. The prices are very reasonable. Be sure to try this place if you love good Indian food.”
“This place is a bright, comfortable restaurant where you pay and order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table. When I visited 7 years ago, I was disappointed by their Panang curry. When I visited today, they had things on the menu that I had never seen before. I ordered a Southern Thai dish. All I can say is that it was delicious!Vegetarian options: They have a sign saying that just because something has vegetables in it does not mean it is vegetarian or vegan; however, unless you are seeking ritual purity, I believe you could find a decent, reasonably vegetarian dish here.”
“What can I say...First time trying this place.So delicious, and fresh, and prices are reasonable.Definitely recommend if you are looking for high-quality sushi ?”
“The best dessert I have ever had. My sister loved the apple strudles I got from here and I fell in love with the cheese pecan and honey. Ilfor sure order more for other special occasions. Wholeheartedly recommend.”
“It's a gem. Great pizza ? & great staff.We happened to stumble upon this place while we were dropping off friends at Dulles airport & were extremely happy with it. We tried a few pizzas but the standout was the one with Goat cheese & arugula (Roya??). We sat next to folks who said the restaurant has been around 25+ yrs and that they have been visiting it since it's early days (it seems that Emilio's has been one of the few in the area that always used organic/non-gmo ingredients). The staff was great and treated us very warmly with honest suggestions and recommendations. We'll be back again ?”
“I don’t normally write reviews but this place is amazing. I don’t know how there wasn’t a large crowd. Complimentary edamame, spring rolls and cheesecake bites! Service was outstanding too! Food is great!!”

“Felt like the food would have been better if the place wasn't so busy. Got the fried tenders and fries. The breading on the chix fell off to easily. The fries were good and it came with Texas toast which was good. Would want to go again to try the chix sandwich but hopefully it won't be as ”

“First and foremost, I would consider myself a healthy eater and tend to stay away from fried food. However, I was excited to see that there was a Bojangles near where I moved- I had only had it a few times and really loved it as a treat for myself.Theresa gave my boyfriend and I some of the BEST customer service and our food was AMAZING. Please try this out! Every establishment should treat their customers like this and Theresa should get a special shoutout!”
“Stopped for drive through and received my order with great service and prompt delivery. The people working here were very pleasant and helpful and I will definitely be coming ”
“Best place to stop when you've been working all day, even straight thru lunch. Got home with my meal and enjoyed the hot and fresh food. The Mac&Cheese is so good. The best chicken sandwich ever!”
“Look I love Wendy's but please for the love of people who love peppermint anything TAKE OFF THE PEPPERMINT FROSTY from everything. You still have it up on delivery options and ”
“Online order. Was ready asap and correct. Food was hot and freshly made. Service was good. Walk in, not drive through ?Wheelchair accessibility: Flat lot. Lots of room. Does not have automatic doors.”
“Just your average McDonald's, but unlike all the others I've seen in this area this one actually has the ketchup dispenser working at the condiment center.And a soda fountain and ice dispenser is functional, and they have straws napkins and cup lids out.They do not have other things like spoons porks salt and pepper you need to ask for that.”
“I regularly hit this location's drive thru in the morning for breakfast. It's always quick and my order is hot and fulfilled accurately. The staff is friendly and eager to please.”
“We were on our way to Bed Bath & Beyond at the Dulles Eastern Plaza got hungry and stopped at McDonalds. Very neat and clean inside with a long drive-thru. We ordered 2 fish sandwiches from scratch and both were delicious.”
“Came here last night really late, I felt bad about coming this late, but I was starving. Despite it being 1am, the lady taking our order was really nice. They were also really fast, the fastest a taco bell has ever taken for me. To top it off, my quesarito was the best one I ever had.”
“Very good fried chicken and a choice of five sides and cold soda. Chicken comes with a choice of original or crispy toppings. Mashed potatoes, cole slaw, fries or mac and cheese. Biscuits. Chicken sandwiches. Sauces”
“kids liked the combined doughnut and ice cream shop. decent flavor selection but it's a half size so not the full 31 flavors - but they have the classics. They did seem short staffed and they were very slow on my husband's but they did great on the kids with fun cups and they were nice when the kids ordered.”
“I guess there is a first time for everything because here I am, leaving a 5 star review for McDonald's! Stopped by while waiting for an appointment nearby and grabbed fries and a coke. Both workers were extremely kind and efficient, and my fries were hot and fresh. Rare to have people who are truly kind working in customer service/food industry so I wanted to give them a shout out (specifically to the lovely lady with red hair!)”
“I know that fast-food restaurants are a dime a dozen. However, there are some that stand out for the quality of food, service, and atmosphere. Well, i was in a rush and I decided to stop in to get food rather than go through the drive through. And I'm glad I did because the experience was awesome and greatly appreciated. The moment I walk in I'm greeted. Now, a greeting really demonstrates the character of the staff and the manager. So, that was five-star service right off the bat. Then, the food after ordering what I thought would be the usual KFC had to offer, I was impressed because the food was cooked to their standards and the flavor was recognizably KFC. Now, I know what you're thinking all KFC are the same, and this is true. But done standout better than others. And this location, hands down is one of them. The whole experience was amazingly different. In addition, the facility to incur the restrooms were well-maintained. Impressively clean and sanitized. So, yes I'm making a big deal because the staff works their hearts out to make me feel welcomed and they take pride in the food the prepared for their customers. Well done.”
“Miguel, our waiter was great, very welcoming and attentive. Food was delicious! Made it a great place to celebrate a birthday dinner. Looking forward to returning.”
“Breakfast Pizza is amazing and love that I can take and bake because it’s premade. Every time I go in a store that carries Hunt Brothers Pizza you have to buy one because the smell is amazing and mouthwatering.”
“10/10 better alternative to Buffalo Wild Wings or Wingstop. The wing flavors are fun and creative (get the sweet and Smokey bbq!!) also the old bay tots with hot honey are chefs kiss. So perfectly crispy and the sweet and savory flavor profile is unique/ to die for. Also liked the beer selection, it had a better selection of ciders and local beer than you'd see at BWW.”
Cheap Eats
“Just looking at the picture I took has me carving for more. I got garden tofu roll and garlic steak over rice. The fried egg is not included by the way. You pay extra if you want it. The meal was nicely proportioned. Steak cooked perfectly in my opinion. Come with a salad. I demolished this this food. Love it! Quick service. I got my meal less than 15 minutes. Can’t wait to go back for me!”
“i tried this spot because it happens to be across the street from my job and i was craving boba and thai food! and i was not disappointed!! i got the lunch special for 12$ decent portion and very flavorful. i ordered the drunken noodles that came with an appetizer of your choice and i picked gzoa dumplings. and then a thai tea with boba which tasted very good!! definitely try this spot:)”
“Clean and friendly. The staff was nice and my chicken salad sandwich was tasty. Parking was tight, but I don't think there is really anything they can do about that.”
“My very first time eating here on recommendation by a family member. We ordered the Nihari, lamb chops, Haleem with rotis. Everything was exceptionally delicious. We were greeted by a friendly smile as we walked in from Madhuri & I must add the service was impeccable. Definitely recommend eating here if you want to try out great Pakistani/Indian food.”

“I cannot put into words how much this place means to me. Hangry Joe's has uplifted me on days where I have felt sad and drained. The chicken and waffle fries rejuvenates me. The staff is always gracious and friendly. They have never messed up my order and I frequently get takeout. One of the best places to get food in northern VA .”
“Just moved up to the NOVA area from South FL and was craving Cuban food. This place did not disappoint, best cuban food I've had in a while. Portions are big, I think two people could split an entree for sure.”
“Honestly it's a hole in the wall but some of the best finds are holes in the wall. Ordered a Italian holiest and it was money. It's very hard to find a good hoagie. I'll be going back.”
“We were traveling on Christmas Eve and wanted to try something other than fast food. We were pleasantly surprised to find poke fish and it was fast, well-priced, fresh and delicious. I would highly recommend ”
“After living in NY I have longed for Italian NY style pizza & this is by far the best pizza in the NOVA area. Finally! The crust is delicious-tasting like they used NY water to make it. The crust is also thin and not too thick which is amazing. I am always greeted with professionalism and kindness. ????????⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I’m a picky person when it comes to eating burgers but this by far is my favorite and only place I’ll order a burger. They always ask how we like it and if it’s medium/ well done which ever you choose they’ve gotten it correct each time which has been one of my reasons why I’m hesitant with order burgers. The staff is always nice and always greet me when I enter which puts the mood light. They also have many sauce choices to choose from I highly recommend trying the sweet potato fries with toasted marshmallow sauce!”
“Love Love Love the Lamb Wraps here.If you have 15 mins, they are worth the wait. This time I ordered online for family and called to make sure they could have them ready when I arrived and they did.”
“The place has great food that is unlike anywhere else. We try and stop in a few times of year. Options can be served as a breakfast, brunch or dinner. Highly recommend. The silpancha is our go to but everything always looks great.”
“First time we’ve been to the actual Brewery. Lobe the IPAs from local shops but this was so fresh and tasty. They don’t serve food inside but the food truck outside had amazing offerings and Yum! ?”

“This is one of the best pizza huts I’ve been around. The food is always hot and fresh after delivery and they never ever forget sauces and drinks and extra things that so many places just ignore on the receipt half the time. Two thumbs way up - glad we have this one nearby!”
“The fish celantro stuff was fantastic!The beans were like a runny gravy.The garlic shrimp was served on the shell and very difficult to chew.The phone was in the booth behind me and kept ringing during the meal.I asked them to move it somewhere else, but I don’t think they know English.”
“A very comfortable place to go to eat.My experience was great, the pupusas I ordered were delicious and freshly made.I also saw that people came to pick up their orders that they had placed by phone.I recommend it”
“I got the fajita express mixed with chicken and and steak. You get 3 tortillas but they give enough meat for 4 really. Overall great experience. The tables have beautiful art.”
“First visit & had such a great time. There are multiple food options & a brewery all in same location. Sangria special (pear & guava) tonight was so so good.”

“Their gluten free bianca pizza is to die for, and I love that they have their own delivery so you don’t have to go through an app. For gluten free customers, they also make the Gf pizza in an aluminum pan and seemed like it was a pan pizza, so I also felt confident about no cross contamination! So wonderful to have this reliable option for GF pizza”
“It's a gem. Great pizza ? & great staff.We happened to stumble upon this place while we were dropping off friends at Dulles airport & were extremely happy with it. We tried a few pizzas but the standout was the one with Goat cheese & arugula (Roya??). We sat next to folks who said the restaurant has been around 25+ yrs and that they have been visiting it since it's early days (it seems that Emilio's has been one of the few in the area that always used organic/non-gmo ingredients). The staff was great and treated us very warmly with honest suggestions and recommendations. We'll be back again ?”

“I ordered from here via doordash recently and was very impressed with their Makani Platter, Buffalo Wings, and Feta Dip. Their Makani Platter was large and flavorful, the Wings had a great crunch to them, and the Feta Dip was one of the freshest tasting things I've had in a while. I'm surprised this place doesn't have higher reviews, my meal was stellar. Thank you!”

“My niece and I came for the Tamales cooking class. Chef Tomas was the best. Very friendly and his love for cooking is contagious. Our tasting included the Tamales, tacos and empanada. All DELICIOUS. We ended staying for the cocktail class. Lots of fun. Great vibe. Great people. Samet was our instructor for the Tequila tasting. He too was very friendly and made the whole experience a lot of fun. We drove from Baltimore for the event today and it was well worth it. We'll be back.”
“Chicharron sandwich was yummy (forgot to take pic bc I munched pretty fast). I thought it was expensive but the sandwich was a big boy and the pork was really tender. Owner's very friendly and they make their stuff daily. The place was clean (especially the bathroom). Will be back to try their house-made desserts”

“Just regular coffee here is very good. I stopped making it at home and drive less than a mile to get a cup here now.The customer support or atmosphere is hit or miss I'm learning. Some days its over the top polite, and some days its strange grins and a judgey vibe. This is expected from very young girls who seem to be the majority of the employees.Another annoyance is when I get my change back, there is a attempt to balance my coins on top of the bills an they hand it back holding the bills end to end with the coins on top, and every time the coins end up on the ground. Last time the lady made a comment, "what was that, just a penny?" When it was pretty obvious all of my change was dumped. I had to back up and get out and pick it up. Luckily there was nobody behind me.”

“Joe’s Cafe is a local hole in the wall restaurant that serves awesome breakfast and lunch options. The vibes are awesome and love that the horrible cell service forces you to interact with people in person. The servers are super personable and they always take good care of you. The price point is also super reasonable. Be ready to have a wait if you go during peak brunch hours on the weekend.”
