Restaurants near West Springfield

“Review is for the new PUPATELLA off Slater's Lane in Alexandria VA. It's in my neighborhood so we walked. Noticed limited # spot parking lot, minimal if any street parking. Went on opening day around 1145 am; got seated right away but servers were largely absent throughout stay. Took ~10 min for someone to show up to take our drink order and food order. Seasonal specials on the menu but not actually available to order yet. Went with soft drinks, margarita pizza, and brussels sprouts app. Food was fabulous and served quickly. No server appeared to check on us or to refill drinks; I believe the marketing manager ended up checking on us and helped out. Also no server to bring bill so we closed the tab at their point of sale system. Decor is plain; hopefully they will add some art to the walls at some point. Two unisex bathrooms were clean. Very narrow pathway to get to them past the indoor seating and the bar seating. Large folks and wheelchairs will struggle to navigate to the bathrooms. The usable space inside the narrow building is limited so not sure if this is a fixable issue. Patio seating is a mix of low tables and high tables/chairs, assortment of non-adjustable small umbrellas to block sun, looked like they could be moved around. Clearly dog-friendly, I saw at least three water bowls in use or available to use. Saw a lot of vehicle traffic on Slater's, but did not hear the traffic on Slater's or the GW parkway. Most tables inside and out were occupied; the music over the speakers and the ambient patron noise was loud enough to drown out traffic. There is an access road and line of trees between the restaurant and GW parkway which helps to minimize the traffic view. Food was worth another visit, though you should give them time to upskill their servers and perhaps hire more servers. Given the parking issue and the limited seating inside and out, I suspect this location is more suited for walking locals and carry-out than travelling diners. This location isn't really suited to be a destination dining experience.”

“Delicious and plenty of choices for vegetarians because of the options available. The service is great. It is pleasant but quite chilly. Bring a sweater,”

“The food and beverages were delicious! The indoor decor is great. Thanks!”

“This location has THE best cheesesteak out of any other location. They actually use real beef, not the steakum garbage. And the cashier in the front was fantastic. Really nice guy with tattoos. I didn’t catch his name.”

“I have been coming to this location every day, for the last 6 years! I absolutely ADORE the baristas! They always go above and beyond, and they treat my kids like family! I went there tonight with a flyer of a missing girl #findjholie and not only did they let me put it on their board, front and center, they offered their sincere concern! Thank you, Starbucks! You set the bar for all other Starbucks’!”

“A good meeting place to catch up with friends...”

“Probably the best McDonalds I've been too. I always order via the kiosk and whereas the other local McDonalds gives an insulting amount of sauce, this one gives a good amount. In addition, I have had great customer service experience from them in the past. The fact that they are open 24/7 also really helps since my job keeps very late hours and I am too tired to cook sometimes.”

“First time to this chipotle as we are not from the area. Contrary to some of the recent reviews I see here, I and my family had a good experience. The food was fresh and worth the money.”

“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!”

“Our son recently moved to Arlington and he said this was the best Italian food that he ever had! Last night we went there for dinner and couldn't agree with him more. We had some initial issues with our service and seating , but the General Manager, Stefano and our waitress Shandra took care of us and the service that they gave us was outstanding; probably the best that I ever had at a restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious! We will be back every time that we visit our son. There are so many dishes that I cannot wait to try and the pasta is all homemade. Thanks for making our dinner so special. We love it here!”

“Service was great, very attentive. Food is always on point 😉”

“10 out of ten would recommend my server Alexis was amazing definitely having to come again”

“We enjoyed brunch here for our anniversary. I have several food allergies and I was well accommodated. The food was wonderful and the service friendly. We will be back”

“Our dinner was just amazing tonight! Everything was so fresh and delicious, and you were all so friendly, thank you so much.”

“Muy excelente lugar nos encanta venir y compartir con la familia su atención es más que excelente servicio completamente recomendado”

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

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤”

“Great Local Pub!
Courthouse Social is an awesome spot to hang out. Great vibe, friendly staff, and solid pub food. The outdoor seating is perfect for chilling with friends over a drink. Definitely one of my favorite local places—highly recommend it!”

“Very satisfied on my first visit to Ellie Bird. We came for Brunch for my wife’s birthday. The staff were all very attentive and many wished her a happy birthday as they welcomed us in, which often gets overlooked at other restaurants, but it made her morning feel so much more special. It may seem like a small notion, but it was a touching detail to our initial visit. The brunch menu is small but packed with flavors and meaningful dishes. We love this and wish we could try it all. We decided to start with the PB&J French toast as a shared app. It’s an entree item, but upon hearing how much the owner loves this item we had to try it out. We also ordered the Pineapple Bun sliders and Tornado omelette. For us the trio of entrees was the perfect blend of savory, sweet, and salty, hitting all the right notes. Also highly recommend the Ellie Bird Latte. Glad we came, we will be back for more!”

“Friendly staff, very creative menu, no too big just the way I like it. Highly recommended”

“Friendly staff -great food !”

“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.”

“The most delicious sandwiches in Fairfax. Plus they are family owned. 😊”

“wow what a gem!!! this place is going to do good business!!!!!!! the entrees ..desserts...service .....everything is amazing!!!!”

“The food here was delicious and amazing but what made the experience unforgettable was the service! If you are celebrating something special or you just want to have a wonderful dining experience, Bistrol L'hermitage is where you want to be.”

“Food excellent in quality, preparation, textures, flavors and presentation. The jarring and omnipresent noise (which also bounces) renders the fore-described qualities frustratingly moot - almost. I would dearly love to recommend as well as return and bring friends along but will have to forewarn them as well as brace myself.”

“Always a great place to eat! The customer service is wonderful and the food is incredible!”

“I discovered this place door dashing and came back after my shift and the food is always amazing. The guy I always see is so nice and warm to everyone that comes in. The first time I came in he greeted me with a big smile and awesome energy. The Chicken is ALWAYS CRISPY and absolutely mind bogglingly delicious. Highly recommend going in and grabbing a bite to eat.”

“Gracious staff welcomed us in. The restraunt was very clean and the decor is beautiful. There are so many vegan options on the menu, it's hard to decide what to try first. We ordered the brown rice garden rolls, pad thai and congee. Everything was delicious. We plan to be frequent customers, and maybe eventually we'll be able to try everything on the menu.”
