50 Best American Restaurants near Tysons

“The entire experience was awesome! We didn’t have reservations, as we just came from a show. They worked us in and the tapas style dining was just what we needed for an upscale, late-night meal. Flavor was out of this world and presentation was art! I’ll definitely be back & highly recommend the ninniku noodles with duck confit. 🤤“

“We came here on a Friday, and it wasn’t that busy yet our server cash was the most valuable part of our time here, she was so kind and helped us with all the questions we had. She made this one of my favorite dmv experiences and I will definitely be coming back and telling EVERYONE about this place“

“The food appears... lesser quantity than in DC. The biscuits were smaller, and harder. I saw no bacon. The sausage (pork or chicken) was not "week done" as with the DC restaurant. Also there wasn't any shrimp. I got there at 9:am, and was told reservations were needed. So I Sat at the bar. Def a 3.5 rating on food here“

“Solid grocery store with prices consistent with the surrounding area. Plenty of parking (with a narrow garage full of terrible drivers that are going to other venues in the building). They have a train for kids to watch, lots of free samples, and free bananas for kids! They have a couple fun grocery carts for kids as well. Tons of prepared foods for a convenient dinner, but they are costly.
Pro-tip, get food/beer from Wegmans if going to the Perch. So much cheaper.“

“We hosted a happy hour there, staff are super fun and nice, food is awesome, cocktail is really good!“

“That Fresh salad is everything!! All in all, we love Mikes!!“

“This place is a true local gem. Food is of very high quality, and everything is consistently cooked to perfection. Their consistency is actually really impressive - I’ve never been disappointed by a single thing, and I’ve eaten A LOT of their food. But everything is so good, so I haven’t really made my way outside of the same few items from their menu. The difference is that the staff actually care about their customers, and take pride in their food. It’s not so common these days, and is a pleasant surprise. It’s the reason I will always eat there.“

“We recently celebrated our son's high school graduation with a dinner here, and everything was absolutely fabulous. Our server, George, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.

Every guest truly enjoyed their meal, and it was the perfect way to mark such a special occasion. Highly recommend!“

Sarah the events manager made my booking process so easy, she is knoweldgeable and profetional but also so nice and easy to work with,
Jun and Frank went above and beyond to accommodate our group and even offered a great alternative indoor space in case of rain.

“Persimmon is one of our go-to places in Bethesda. All the food is well prepared and the options are ample. When I went recently with 3 others all their dishes came out sufficiently hot. Unfortunately my duck breast came out cold. Another one, which was perfected prepared, was presented soon afterwards.“

“they had a really hot guy working there with a little bracelet on what is his name but overall good food.“

“ONE Bar&Grill is our number one restaurant choice in Old Town Fairfax. We have visited several times and EVERY meal has been amazing! Mina the owner, and Stephanie along with all the servers are first class people. Fairfax is fortunate to have such a top notch restaurant! We look forward to many future visits.“

“Places in strip malls really have to work extra hard to make people forget they're in a strip mall, and this place doesn't quite get there. Food was good, not fantastic. The concept of dishes from different cities is not new and gives the impression they're not really skilled at any one thing. (Also cheese curds are yellow, not white, I'm from Wisconsin.) Service was fine. Layout is a little weird, trying to be both a sports bar and a restaurant and it doesn't really have room for both. If I'm in the neighborhood again, would repeat. Won't specifically seek it out.“

“Mother’s Day celebration with family was especially great because of the amazing atmosphere and awesome service at Barrel and Crow. It was our first time visiting this establishment and certainly will not be our last. Shout out to the owner and her staff.“

“Food was awesome! Atmosphere was warm! Wait staff extremely attentive. We LOVE that it is farm to table, they have their own bee hives and grow their own herbs! Menu was unique and the octopus appetizer was SO crazy good!“

“I love the food and great service!👍♥️“

“Very good food nice atmosphere“

“Our latest visit to Circa in Clarendon gave us good reason to dine at Circa more often; one member of our group opted for the three-course Restaurant Week lunch, and the other member had the seared tuna salad on the a la carte menu. The menu choices are extensive, and we won't overlook this dining venue again!“

“Great food & service. Chill atmosphere that’s great for date night or night with kids. We go to Harveys almost every week!“

“Our team enjoyed a business dinner at this seafood restaurant. Fresh dishes, excellent service, and a refined atmosphere.“

“We went to the restaurant down at the wharf….. To start, the hostess at the front was on her phone and not really paying any mind to the people walking in the door. Come to find out after that was the floor manager. Then we get sat and none of the workers talk about who is in charge of that section. We did. It get me is or silverware. The very nice bartender comes up, gets us some water and menus gets us started and finally the sever comes over to us. The server took our order and checked on us twice. When the food was brought to the table we still didn’t have silverware and had to ask the food runner. Our server had a a ten top when we arrived and she was checking on her the whole time not paying any mind to the other tables she has. It was to the point I had to go up to someone ask for water refill bc both our glasses were empty. We finish our meals that were very good and no one but the bartenders are on the floor. I see our sever walk over to the restroom, she comes out looks at us and sees that we are sitting doing nothing, then walks over to a new 10 top and disappears. It’s at thing point I now have to walk over to the bartender and get our check and they are the ones that cash us out. Thank you to the bartender that took care of us“

“Kind of a mixed bag in terms of service and atmosphere. I'm not as hyped as the local daytime patrons about this spot, but they served a generous and fairly tasty cheese steak which merits a positive review. It's a tiny spot, just a row of bar stools that extend and wrap around a counter. There were two guys there, one young guy who was very friendly, polite and gracious, and an older guy that was gruf and a bit tone deaf to the fact that his sarcastic jokes (I think they were jokes) didn't land as intended with some of the guests.

There are better cheese steaks and better vibes, so I won't be returning, but I doubt you'll be disappointed if you grab something to go there.“

“The service was attentive and friendly. With the preselected menu being two servings of steak frites, they'd asked me what temperature I wanted. I figured they'd be masters of medium rare given the restaurant's name, but unfortunately I wasn't served a medium rare steak. The first course they served was rare, with a good part of the center uncooked. The sauce was good, but the doneness made it much too chewy. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited for my second course, and again, was not served a medium rare steak. This time, though, on the opposite end of the spectrum— the steak was served medium well, without much pink. I'm mildly confused by two things: how there's this much variance in steak doneness, and why a restaurant named Medium Rare seemingly hasn't figured out how to make a medium rare steak. I'd give it a 6/10 overall— I wish the food was treated better.“

“Great place to celebrate your milestones .“

“Good food and drinks. Loved my fajitas! Service was slow as the manager ended up taking our order and we waited 30 mins for food to the table. Waiter did check on us numerous times after that. It's very loud here too. Tough to have a conversation over tvs and too many children playing seemingly unsupervised.“

“I had the local strawberry and watermelon salad and it was the most original and delicious thing I've eaten all summer. Combines sweet and juicy with crunchy and savory, with a great house-made dressing. I wish I'd tried this place sooner.“

“This is our new special occasion dining spot. Food was amazing and service was great!“

“Thank you, Texas Jack's for accommodating me on Thanksgiving when my Metroaccess ride dropped me off before my reservation. Food and service (by Calvin) was excellent!“

“First visit today for my birthday lunch and loved the vibe and the food!“

“I love my job! Highly recommend our food, awesome happy hour and we definitely have great drinks“

“The staff was very helpful and friendly. The restaurant in a home built in 1843 was charming, the service was good we enjoyed our waitress. Our dinner was delicious we all enjoyed our Rockfish! We celebrated a birthday, the delightful chocolate cake was delicious , served with Champagne. We'll be back for the next celebration!“

“My husband and I have been dining at Green Pig Bistro for over ten years for special occasions (birthdays and anniversaries). This was our first time at their new location and while we enjoyed the food (as always), we were disappointed in the service. James was our server and he did a good job with recommendations, however, we felt rushed and forgotten at times. This was my birthday celebration dinner and it fell flat.“

“Thanks again for a wonderful dinner shared with my family. Though it’s been many, many years, it’s still the same, with a few changes, its a great place. I know I can always count on you all every single time and I’m proud to know you’ve been my neighbor all these years as well. Whenever you’re around, it always feels more like home. And I love that for all these years you’ve had the Lost Dog and Cat Rescue. So many friends have been given a forever home, including a very special friend of mine. Thanks for all you continue to do. I hope you never leave us.“

“Great local great food , gotta go early, sadly don't take reservations“

“Great Easter Brunch small plates. Service was fantastic! Enjoyed our Easter. Bar looks fun! We were upstairs! Seating outside too! Reasonable pricing“

“Just had the chicken sampler with 4 sides. It was delicious and more than enough to feed 4 hungry people. Will definitely order from them again. Joann Levine“

“The food quality is very good at Black Salt. There were at least 5 items not listed on the regular menu which were also available for dinner. We liked the fact that several choices were seasonal in nature- which allowed those items to be available.“
