50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants West Springfield

“I like all of the McAlister’s in my area, but I like coming back to this location because of the great service. Mekdi is so sweet and professional, and greets you with a smile. She was also very patient when I came in with my grandmother a few weeks ago, which I deeply appreciated.“

“Mezeh has been my go-to for a while now. Food’s consistently good whether I’m grabbing lunch, dinner, or rolling in right before close after a long workday with this being my first meal of the day (more often than I’d like to admit, haha). The staff is always friendly and has never made me feel rushed even when I’m cutting it close to closing time. Fresh ingredients and a team that genuinely seems to care. Highly recommend.“

“Fabulous dining experience with our server, Yurii. Kind, patient, and attentive service. Came to celebrate a birthday so thank you to Yurii & Kelly who wished us happy birthday and made the night memorable. Will be returning. Delicious, quality sushi with beautiful ambiance and a clean space. Free parking is easily accessible right around the corner, about a 2 minute walk to the garage.“

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

“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!“

“Freshly prepared, delicious, authentic Turkish cuisine. Highly recommended.“

“I have came every weekend for a Turkish breakfast for years. My favorite breakfast ever. The family that owns it are the best and makes it feel like you’re right at home 💕💕💕 they have such good lunch and Turkish street food at night too“

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

“We came based on the amount of good reviews and it didn’t not disappoint! Some of the best butter chicken and chicken tikka we’ve had! We’re not local but already planning on coming back.“

“Kind & helpful staff, delicious variety of drinks & pastries.“

“If you are gluten intolerant this may be the beer for you. I have been gluten intolerant for 13 years now. I used to enjoy a beer here and there. Some of the gluten free ones out there are eh, at best. This beer has a full body taste. I did not have any issues drinking it. Now, that being said if you are gluten intolerant you must know yourself really well. It may not be for you, but than again it may. I am just excited that I had no issues and enjoyed a full tasting beer!“

“I don’t usually write reviews—when I do, it’s because the experience was either exceptionally bad or truly outstanding. This one might be a bit long, so let’s start from the beginning. It’s been 10 years since I moved to Virginia, and I have to say, I love it here. That said, I do miss the beaches and the incredible food from Miami. Ever since I moved, I’ve been searching for the perfect spot—a place where both the food and the service are amazing. Let’s be honest, that’s hard to find. Often, the food is great but the service is just okay, or the service is excellent but the food falls short. When looking for a place to celebrate my wedding anniversary, a few options came up, and one of them was Sabores Tapas Bar. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it there at the time and ended up going to two other places—one was okay, the other was awful. Later, I told my wife we needed to try Sabores, maybe on New Year’s Day. Again, we ended up at a “safe” spot we like to visit. The food and service were good, but it was just our usual go-to. Fast forward to last week: my best friend from Puerto Rico came to visit with his family. He loves to eat, and his wife can be hard to please. This time, we decided to go to Sabores Tapas Bar. I’ll admit, I was nervous—I wanted them to have a great experience, but pleasing everyone is never easy. Finally, we went. What can I say? The food was amazing, and the service was just as incredible. It was so good we couldn’t stop eating. I had high expectations—growing up, my house was always full because my friends came over for my mom’s cooking. She’s an amazing cook. Mom, forgive me for saying this, but Sabores Tapas Bar is as good as, if not better than, your cooking, and the service was amazing. Wow. I’ve found the place. It’s so good that I want to go back and try dishes I normally don’t like, just to see if they can make me love them. I can’t wait to return. My taste buds have found the love of their life at Sabores Tapas Bar.“

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“Great foods and great service.“

“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card. They gave him the most delicious donuts and Lizz made really excellent dish recommendations. We will return for sure!!“

“Carlos is the very best! He is a great server and took care of us. My daughter's birthday was awesome because of him! Kudos to this location which also takes GREAT care of its Beer Club members! We'll be back soon!“

“Okay forget Starbucks and paying $7 for a boring latte. Come here- get the pistachio latte and see a work of art presenting as your new favorite coffee. Definitely will be coming back. This was SO delicious.

They also have so much variety of latte (and I happen to be a latte gal). They have Ferrero, Dubai Chocolate, Strawberry Cheesecake, Apple Pie, etc. I had a hard time choosing, but ended up picking up a classic (shoutout to the baristas being patient because I took at least 10 minutes looking through the menu).“

“Best birria tacos ever! Make sure you get the sides, rice, beans, esquiotes (elotes in a bowl). It was so good we got food to go to eat tomorrow. We live 60 miles away and unanimously agreed to come back here just for the food. They are getting a liquor license and will start serving drinks next week. I can't wait to return. Additional bonus, the staff was awesome, friendly, helpful, hospitable and the food came out quickly.“

“This is our fourth time ordering from Chan’s Kitchen, and they’ve been very consistent. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and reliable, which is why we keep coming back. Friendly and welcoming staff.

The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the egg rolls can sometimes be a bit greasy, but tastes really good.
Overall, still a solid go-to spot for Chinese food and definitely recommended.“

“The coffee is excellent, best in DC. The food quality is amazing, love the pastries.
The service is disappointing. No one is inadvertently rude, it takes so long to get food orders. Can’t go in the morning. Waited over 20 minutes for a little breakfast sandwich to-go.“

“Fantastic pizza, very convenient, and good people too! Couldn't recommend it more.“

“Anaya is a great waitperson! We really had a great time. she was helpful & has a great personality! Food was great too! Dessert was awesome.We had the bread pudding“

“Not sure how to graciously ask this question, but I am usually taken back when I see foodies without prices on their menu. It makes me think those preparing the menu may be arrogant to believe that price means nothing to patrons. Price matters. Are foods and drinks priced too high to be transparent? Are all patrons so well off that price to them really does not matter? I will sometimes pass over a place if they hide their prices, just because there are so many others that do not hide them. The atmosphere just by itself deserves a reluctant visit.“

“Pulled pork Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts is what I had. It was seasoned just right!!! We had a sweet waitress as well. Highly recommend this gem!“

“Good food and great service from Yodi“

“The Addis Teff is delicious. Good flavor and pairs well with food. Was really good with the smoked sweet swiss cheese from the Fresh Mkt. I first tried one in a choose your own 6 pack and was hooked. The lager was good, but this is my favorite. I tried it because I'd never heard of beer made from Teff, and I like trying new things. I wish Fresh Mkt had the honey one as well. I have bought the Addis Teff a few times now. Someday I want to visit the brewery!“

“We eat here every single time we come to the DC area. It is my favorite place to eat. The Scotch Eggs, Shepherd’s Pie and Guinness Stew are our favorites. The staff remembers us and welcomes us. The owner is awesome. We can’t recommend this place enough.“

“The workers are so so nice! They’re so patient when you need help. The food is always on point and the decor is so adorable. My cousins and I are always greeted with a warm smile from the beautiful tall man. He’s so sweet like a dad, I adore this place. 10/10 you’ll love it here.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Honoo Ramen Bar! Honoo Ramen Bar is an absolute gem and a must-stop in West Falls Church! From the very first bite to the last, everything was exceptional. The Tako Wasabi was perfectly balanced—fresh, briny, and addictive. The Sake Steamed Clams were rich, aromatic, and bursting with flavor… pure comfort in a bowl. The wagyu and toro sushi were incredibly fresh, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious—clearly top-tier quality. And the shrimp dumplings? Steamed to absolute perfection: tender, flavorful, and expertly made. Do not leave without trying the Green Bliss Roll—it’s a standout and an instant favorite. On top of the amazing food, the service is attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making the entire experience even better. Honoo Ramen Bar delivers on every level—food, service, and vibe. If you’re anywhere near West Falls Church, this place is an absolute MUST STOP. I’ll be back again and again! 🍜✨“

“Had a great time today at the Seafood Extravaganza. Oysters, lobsters rolls, shrimp was delicious. Very well organized and everyone there was so nice and helpful as to what we needed to do to get our food. Glad I pre ordered my tickets. They have sodas too in case you dont want beer.parking was good also. We will be back for sure.“

“The food is always great quality and top notch in flavor! The staff is friendly and helpful while the restaurant is clean and inviting. If you’re looking for a good BBQ meal, I would highly recommend giving Mission BBQ a try! They also have an amazing catering menu that is perfect for any event or gathering.“

“Incredible food and atmosphere and service 5 stars all the way“

“Absolutely extraordinary! Courtside Thai Cuisine is a gem in the heart of Fairfax, VA. From the moment you step inside, you're embraced by a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the aromatic allure of authentic Thai cuisine. The food is a culinary masterpiece, each dish a symphony of flavors harmoniously blending together. The Pad Thai is a revelation, with perfectly cooked noodles and a balance of sweet, sour, and savory that dances on the palate. The Green Curry is another star, its richness and depth of flavor truly showcasing the art of Thai cooking. Service here is impeccable. The staff are attentive, friendly, and go above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of perfect. They are knowledgeable about the menu and more than willing to accommodate any dietary preferences or modifications. But what truly sets Courtside Thai Cuisine apart is the ambiance. The decor is elegant yet cozy, providing an ideal backdrop for both casual dinners and special occasions. It's a place where every meal feels like a celebration. In a world full of dining options, Courtside Thai Cuisine stands out as a beacon of culinary excellence and hospitality. It's not just a meal; it's an experience, a journey through the vibrant, flavorful landscapes of Thailand. A true Fairfax treasure, I can't recommend it highly enough! 5 stars all the way!“

“I really like the Chicken platter with white and Blazin sauce. Portion size is pretty big and always stuffed afterwards. I started replacing the fries on the plate with more salad instead as it’s refreshing.

Seating can be lacking as there’s only 5 tables and bar stools.“

“I’m going to post the same review I gave on Yelp - this is a 5 Star place! After a day in DC, my family decided to try Soul Thai on our way home. What a terrific Experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was some of the best Thai we have ever had. The Pad Thai was amazing. The Hang Over Noodles (Drunken Noodles) was exceptional. And the red curry was by far the best I’ve had in the area. The ambiance was quite pleasant as well. Initially we were sat in an area that was a little noisy for our taste, but they graciously moved us to a much quieter section. The owner, Nancy came over after our meal and was very appreciative of our comments on the meal. She shared with us that she personally picks the freshest ingredients she can find to ensure the quality of the food. I would highly recommend Soul Thai to everyone. We will be coming back soon. THANK YOU, Nancy!!!!“

“Consistently AWESOME!“

“Delicious food and the wait staff is fabulous!“

“Great Happy Hour specials on Oysters and the Steak Tartare is Amazing!“

“I really enjoy when Lucy is there. She consistently maintains a positive attitude that enhances the restaurant environment. She brings energy and enthusiasm to her work and is respectful, kind, and easy to talk to. I’ve been at that location a lot and honestly, just really enjoy even just her customer service.“

“If in Washington, D.C. or Arlington County, Virginia, the Italian Store is a cannot miss choice for great subs, sandwiches and pizza“

“The best little bakery you could ask for and it’s right in my neighborhood. This could be a problem. Maybe if I walk there I can burn enough calories to justify a daily cinnamon roll. And time my arrival as Max is pulling them out of the oven. Because they are sooo good. Also try the baguettes, croissants, and various pastries that seem to randomly roll out throughout the morning. Note: if you want a fat Cinnabon, go to the mall. These are cinnamon rolls with a moist, barely baked center. Apparently not everyone is a fan of the sweet gooey center. Hahaha - just pass it over here! Enjoy. (Daily?)“

“Everything about this place is amazing!“

“We had an amazing dining experience at Makchang Dodook in Springfield! The service was outstanding from start to finish, and the food was absolutely delicious. The large intestine was incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked definitely one of the best we’ve ever had. Every dish they served us was fresh, tasty, and satisfying. A special shoutout to our server, Deina, who took such great care of us. She was attentive, kind, and truly showed compassion in the way she assisted us. Because of her and the amazing food, we will definitely be coming back again!💓💓💓“

“The place is soooo cute with all the panda decorations. The food is good and made fresh, but I was disappointed by having my dumplings served on a paper plate, and my cucumber salad in a plastic container. Dumplings felt a little heavy for my preference. The person working here was very nice and helpful.

I feel like they are missing out a huge opportunity with their food presentation to make it a full panda experience. I liked it and would probably come here if I lived nearby, but wouldn’t go out of my way to come here to eat.

Panda dumplings: 10.98
Fried rice chicken: 12.98
Cucumber salad: 6.98
Strawberry lychee fruit tea with lychee jelly: 6.70“

“I was in Arlington an hour early for an appointment and I was hungry. I walked into and Ma Sha Allah!!!!“

“My wife and I went here today based on the reviews on Google, and even though there are not very many Korean options in Woodbridge, this is by far the best Korean food option around!!! We were blown away by the friendly service, the generous portions of food, and the food was absolutely delicious!!! We will definitely be going back to eat here!!“

“Honeygrow was bright, inviting, and a great first experience. Beverly was super helpful and friendly, even though they were closing in 15 minutes. I tried the chicken shawarma and garlic butter chicken — the shawarma wasn’t really spicy to me, more of a sour/pickled flavor, but the garlic butter chicken was delicious. I also liked the digital menu with pictures and that they offer samples. I’ll definitely be back to try the banana pudding.“

“Was lucky to be in Barcroft Plaza today, and stopped to eat for the first time at HoneyGrow! An employee explained their menu and options, very helpful. I ordered the Greek salad with banana honey bowl- the food was very fresh and delicious! They even have a nice patio area out front. Highly recommend!“

“This place is awesome. Never disappointed when we go there. Their food is delicious.“
