Restaurants in McLean

“Just an incredible restaurant - amazing food out of this world our server was simply impressive with one month on the job - I can't say enough good things about him. I will always be back !!!”

“Located in on the 3rd floor of Tysons Galleria near other food court restaurants, Andy’s is a great choice for toasty pizza with tasty toppings!

Their pizzas have such fluffy and crunchy crust. I recommend the pepper and sausage pie. It’s also great they have hot honey as a “fancy” option for their pizzas! Their shaken lemonade was served in a large tub and extremely sweet, but balanced out really with the savory pizza.

A few complaints: If you are ordering a full pizza rather than a couple slices, I recommend ordering ahead of time rather than at the counter because I had to wait 20 mins the last two times. They also need to remove the Sicilian pies off the menu because they never have those available. The servers also have a bit of sass when dealing with customers. Even when a full pie of what I ordered was ready first, they replenished the individual slices first before my order.

Overall the pizza is great and while I have a few qualms with the service, I’ll still be back to grab quick slices.”

“First time here today. The food was amazing! Service was excellent! ❤ I love Afghan food.”

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

“The service was immaculate. Really warm and kind people who were efficient and smart. PK was our waiter and did a great job. He left us all with a smile on our face. Excellent.”

“Love my pistachio Latte & baklava !!! The atmosphere is warm and cozy, highly recommend.”

“Best Ramen 🍜 in Northern VA”

“Excellent restaurant !
Top notch !
Great service !
Excellent food & wine & cocktails !
You get what you pay for...
You can't go wrong here.”

“The sushi here was absolutely amazing, I went around night and ordered chefs island and everything was prepared so well and tasted so fresh and well, Scarlett was our server and she did such an amazing job even with the rush, the interior was so clean and decorated with so much details and I can definitely tell they put a lot of effort into the service, environment, and especially the food and its quality, I will definitely be coming back soon.”

“If you’re looking for casual dining in a unique ambiance and appointed outdoor courtyard/cafe setting, then Pikoteo is your place. With fine food that stretches across the Caribbean, Latin America spectrum of flavors, to sooth your palette, and a friendly staff. The Owner is very hospitable, and can typically be found greeting and meeting with diners, and making them feel welcomed If you are a fan of hot sauces, check out the variety of bottled sauces from Honduras, with a unique variety of spices. My favorite is a chocolate infused hot sauce.”

“Love this hidden gem. Food is great every time.”

“A cool little (very small) ramen shop. Came in to avoid rush hour and so glad I did.

The employee when I visited was just so incredibly kind and polite.

The ramen was delicious, and interesting too (don't think I've ever had ramen with beef instead of pork) and the serving size is sneaky filling. Some of the best ramen I've had in the greater NOVA area.

Prices are a little high but quality definitely makes it easier to accept. The decor inside is definitely interesting, a mix of traditional ramen shop and anime.

Of note, the bathroom is also pretty cool, worth checking out tbh.

Parking: They have 4 parking spots in front otherwise it's street parking”

“Great value! Delicious food..sandwiches as well as their hot bar! The best place in Tyson's for lunch”

“I stopped by south block quickly for a smoothie and I ended up loving it. I tried the super green smoothie and loved it. I will definitely be coming back to this location. Everyone was so kind and welcoming!”

“tengo 15 años de venir aqui sin dudarlo se lo recomiendo la mejor comida”

“Food was delicious and service is top notch.”

“Five stars for the food—my wife and I went for brunch and it was absolutely phenomenal! I had the biscuits with crawfish gravy (not very photogenic, but they were sooo good), and my wife ordered the broccolini & grits. We also shared the breakfast potatoes, which were excellent. Every dish was well-prepared and delicious.

The cocktails, however, were more of a mixed experience. We’d rate them 3.5/5. My $16 Bloody Mary was okay, but nothing exceptional, and my wife’s espresso martini-ish drink was on the same level. They serve cocktails from a little bar cart, bringing your drink in a carafe with an ice bucket for you to pour yourself. While I understand why they see that it could be kind of fun, we didn’t feel it added much and would’ve preferred the drinks were served already put together or that they mix it at the table rather than have all the random glassware left on the table.

The ambiance gets a solid 4.5/5. It was bright, fresh, and inviting—perfect for brunch.

Overall Neutral Ground Bar + Kitchen is a must-visit for brunch!”

“My waitress, Krisdalys, was absolutely fantastic:

She was so kind, compassionate, friendly, attentive and courteous, as well full of joi de vivre with a luminous spirit.

The food was so delicious, as well, and I am so stupendously glad that the Veggie Chang’s lettuce wrap is back for which I had a craving for more than a year.

Thank you so much, Krisdalys, for your wonderful service and PF Changs for delicious food.

Luminous blessings abound, evermore…:)”

“I had a reservation at 6:15pm, got there at 6:45pm. We were able to get a seat at the bar right away and was served within 30 min. The food was excellent service was great and ambiance was spectacular.”

“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!”

“While enjoying lunch yesterday my friend and I were fortunate to be served by Richard. He was very accommodating and pleasant. I can’t say enough about what a nice person he was. Maggianos is lucky to have him as part of their staff.”

“Had a girls' lunch for 10 on a Sunday around Noon. We had a great semi-private area with a round table, excellent for conversation. Our waiter, Jonathan, was outstanding! The food was delicious. Entree salads, flatbreads, desserts were all super tasty. Summery cocktails, rose wine flights and wines by the glass all received high marks. Great place for a relaxed gathering.”

“During our USA road trip, we kept asking ourselves: why the hell isn’t there a proper vegan fast food chain?! Then we hit Washington and boom — PLNT Burger. 100% vegan, super tasty, and finally that fast food vibe we were craving. The vegan chicken burger? Insanely good. Crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. Washington, you get it. We’ll definitely be back.”

“I was visiting the DC area and wanted pizza, so I decided to try Matchbox. I love a meaty pizza, so I ordered The Pig, which was loaded with pepperoni, ham, sausage, salami, and bacon, and it was super cheesy! Most of the toppings were underneath the cheese. I chose a 10-inch pizza, which was a good size if you have a big appetite or want to share with a friend. The service was excellent; my waiter was very attentive. The space was clean, relaxed, and private enough for each party to enjoy their own area.”

“Excellent restaurant . The hostess was very gracious with a genuine smile . Very warm and welcoming and accommodating. Restaurant was cute neat and clean. Our waitress was a gem with kindness and a beautiful smile. She explained the menu in great length. She was smart together and a natural to serve her customers. Two recommendations Mexican Restaurant can use a little more spices, it is too Luke warm, tacos appear unhealthy looking, like they were sleepy or taking a nap. I rather you increase a little price but make it lively looking spicy meal New ill see you soon . And yes we will recommend to others

Parking: We went for late lunch so wee got a spot right in front and parking is ample Thank you How do I post my review”

“Another delicious dinner, linguini with clams in white wine sauce and spaghetti carbonara. Again, the atmosphere os welcoming and the staff is gracious and helpful. Such a nice experience!”

“Today my husband and I had the opportunity to dine at Fleming. The staff was AMAZING! Matt, the manager was on top of every request, need, and want. As soon as anyone in the restaurant needed anything, we witnessed him assisting the service staff to make sure that it was done immediately. He is the type of manager that people dream of! Wish he were on my team. Luis was our server and was great! He was on top of our every need, was attentive, and easily on of the best servers I've ever had. To round out the team, Juan was behind Luis with any additional support that we needed. Quiet professional with great service; Quick, fast, and in a hurry. The ambiance of the restaurant is hard to find in DC. It was quiet enough for a one on one conversation, but energetic enough to make sure that we were not bored. The food was top notch! My stomach hurts because I should have tapped out 15 minutes ago but the food was too good to stop. I'd recommend the Leviathan wine and tomahawk steak. We are big eaters and could not finish our salads and soup, steak, or desserts! My husband highly recommends the French onion soup, Mac and cheese, and Brussels sprouts. Overall the service, ambiance, food, and staff were wayyyyyy more than we expected. We look forward to patronizing this location again. I wish I had pics, but we ate too fast.”

“This place was surprisingly good. Loved it! Will be coming back soon and bringing company!”

“Amazing dining experience! From the food to the service A+. Must try!”

“This a neighborhood gem. Great service. Excellent food. Everything is delicious.”

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

“👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍”

“Good, freshly made pizza.

Vegetarian options: Veggie pizza available

Parking: Mall parking lot

Kid-friendliness: It's pizza

Wheelchair accessibility: Adequate space for a wheelchair”

“Highly recommend the McLean Family Special. They season the chicken amazingly and our it with fresh veggies and real mashed potatoes. The staff are very nice as well!”

“Terrific pizza!. Staff were wonderful. Definitely recommend. We will be going back!”

“Food was fabulous. Our table had the pizza, gnocchi and a seafood dish. All were spectacular. The service was awesome. Will definitely come back.”

“Food is phenomenal! The northern style Thai food is authentic.”

“Very tasty food, friendly and hospitable owner. The food is fresh and well seasoned. Protein is very tender, and the yogurt sauce is some of the best I’ve had.”

“I recently had my wedding cake made by Fluffy Thoughts and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, their attention to detail was exceptional and they went above and beyond. They took the time to understand my vision and made thoughtful suggestions that enhanced the overall design. They were even able to replicate our crest and put it on to the cake. The responsiveness of the team was remarkable; every question I had was answered promptly, and they made the entire process seamless. I felt supported every step of the way. Now, let's talk about the flavors! Fluffy Thoughts offers a creative selection that truly stands out. We opted for a mix of Candy Bar Crunch and Coffee in the Morning and our guests are still raving about how delicious the cake was. It was not only beautiful but also incredibly moist and flavorful. I highly recommend Fluffy Thoughts for anyone looking for a wedding cake that combines stunning design, excellent customer service, and unique flavors. They helped make our special day unforgettable!”

“Union Burger w/ fries and a house pickle. $15. Not bad for Arlington. Tastes great! Will be back for sure!”

“If you want a great breakfast, with homemade home fries and great pancakes, go to Madison deli. They also have terrific sandwiches salads and soups. During non-Covid times, they make the best Korean bulgogi around. I highly recommend it!”

“ Big Buns in Arlington, VA is where it's at! The place has this cool vibe going on – you walk in, and you just know you're in for a good time. The food? Man, they've got all kinds of stuff on the menu. Burgers that'll make your mouth water, and they even have this insane Unicorn shake for dessert – it's like something out of a dream. And don't even get me started on the drinks. They've got some seriously killer cocktails that'll knock your socks off. Oh, and did I mention the location? It's smack dab in the middle of Arlington, so it's super easy to get to. And the service? A+. The staff is friendly, and fast. So yeah, if you're in the mood for some good eats and a chill vibe, you gotta hit up Big Buns. Trust me, you won't regret it”

“Delish! We need one of these in Hampton Roads! Their staff was super friendly and helpful!”

“5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ service Good quality friendly customer service”

“Outstanding food!,drinks, very fresh, and very friendly staff!. I highly recommend it”

“บรรยากาศดี จัดร้านได้สัดส่วนเหมาะสม อาหารรสชาติดี แซบ ครับ”

“We had a great experience at Earl’s Kitchen in Tysons Corner. The atmosphere was sophisticated with great music and an overall elevated vibe that made the evening feel special without being stuffy. Our server, Grecia, was fantastic. She was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. She also recommended a cocktail that ended up being one of the highlights of the night, the White Peach Whiskey Sour was excellent 10/10. You could tell she really cared about making our experience a good one. We’ll definitely be back and will be asking for Grecia again.”

“The food and service was excellent! We will go back 😀”

“Our first time at Cava. Had lunch while travelling. We really liked the curated bowls we ordered, and the service was great I was pleasantly surprised that the payment process did not involve a request for a tip!”

“Superior to the competition. Visited a Robeks for the first time today. Completely satisfied. My six year old had a strawnanna berry and I had a piña koolada. The medium was enough to split between two little kids. Good selection of other things on the menu, too. Would definitely go back.”

“Very good spot. I’ve been there a few times and the first time going I got the fontina vodka penne pasta. Following visits included the same thing. Great for leftovers if there’s any left. The atmosphere is great with a sport bar-ish vibe with nice wait staff.”

“Based this experience, I can only give a 'reluctant' 4-stars *only* because the ingredients used were really fresh. Past Peter Chang visits at other locations seem like the entrees were created for tourists and this theme seems to have permeated to this location as well. It's been a mystery on what the Peter Chang created cuisine is meant to celebrate since the Chinese entrees carry marketed Sichuan or Chengdu flavors that are very muted, lackluster, and just brand-name expensive.

What is carrying the 4-star is the use of very fresh ingredients which is an absolute must if a restaurant wants to survive in this super-affluent McLean neighborhood; otherwise, I would have assigned a 3-star rating. We ordered the Dry-spicy combo hot pot, Chengdu seafood with crispy rice, Dragon eggplang with garlic sauce, and Amish duck bone soup with pickled radish.

What made dinner enjoyable? ..... the highly considerate staff. Again, good staff service would be a must in this affluent McLean neighborhood. Other than fresh ingredients and considerate service, I can pass on visiting Peter Chang moving forward.

Why pass on Peter Chang for me? We ordered the most Sichuan/Chengu spicy entree and nothing was ma-la/chengdu/sichuan spicy at all (this was the biggest let down of the entire dinner). The eggplant was cloyingly, aggressively too sweet. The Amish duck soup was supremely salty. And the Chengdu seafood entree was only adequate. Now the plating is another awkward story. The plating for all dishes were not practical at all and the spoon utensil seems more for show than ladling any liquid at the bottom of the bowl or plate. The dry hot pot swiveled like a gryoscope whenever you are mixing ingredients to prevent burnt food at the bottom. The huge bowl for the Chengdu seafood had such a small base, it could tip at any moment. Come to think of it, the plating and dishware seem to be prioritized higher than the flavor of the food. On top of all this, the price for each entree is nose-bleed high for the lack of authenticity in the entree recipes. To add insult to injury, each bowl of white rice was billed separately and didn't come with ordered entrees.”

“French immersion AAP program Science Olympiad Great staff”

“I Visit Tropical Smoothie near my job 3 to 4 times a week, and Sandras’ exceptional service keeps me coming back. She always greets me warmly with a smile and by name, making me feel genuinely welcomed. My order is always ready on time, and she goes out of her way to ensure everything is perfect. When I leave, she always thanks me and wishes me a wonderful day. Sandra is consistently hardworking and a shining example of excellent customer service. She truly deserves recognition for the positive impact she has on her customers.”

“Super nice people but very hard to find. They are inside another building in the lobby but behind the main desk. Near impossible to see from the street.Once you find it, they are great.”

“Service+diversités+situation”

“Cinnabon is always great to visit no matter where I am, and this location is no exception.

I ordered a classic roll ($6.14 after tax). They provide a knife and fork, so don’t worry about getting your fingers sticky.

The roll tasted fresh and sugary. Enough said.”

“this is located on the 3rd floor of the Galleria mall. Several "fast-eating" places if needed but bringing your computer and getting a coffee you can get some work done. Very large and pretty environment.”

“Ordered pizza last night. Picked it up, but forgot to get the soda that came with it. I went back and told the person that came to the counter. I had also forgotten my receipt. He gave me the soda, even though he had no way of knowing if I had really forgotten it or not. He simply took me at my word. I have always received this kind of great service from this Papa John's location. Thank you to Papa John's of McLean. Keep up the good work!!”

“Employees are always very friendly, and the atmosphere can be a welcome change from the offices upstairs. Great service as far as Starbucks locations go. Good location for informal coffee meetings. (You can't redeem rewards here, that's no different than any other non Starbucks company operated location.)”

“It was amazing”

“Pretty good small family owned take out restaurant. Although there are few small tables inside and outside, this place isn't really designed for dining in. Thier pizza is pretty good with excellent dough.”

“We just had a wonderful meal at Mylos. There were 6 of us and 2 children. We all had great meals and service was excellent. They accommodated our request to modify and make 2 of us lamb souvlaki and it was really good. Very nice cozy atmosphere.”

“Best Pizza, Subs, Salad and Italian food in the entire DMV by far! 🌹🙌🌹 Very cozy, friendly and specially kid’s friendly atmosphere! 👍👏👍”

“Inside the Mile bldg, 8000 west park Dr . Lower level, elevator down to C level. No signage anywhere but glad we found it! Delish bacon egg & cheese on wheat toast!”

“Haagen-Dazs is probably one of the most expensive ice cream places that I have been to, almost $8-$9 after tax. However, what makes them stand out from other ice cream stores is that they don’t use artificial ingredients, and their ice cream is a bit bold and dense compared to other ice cream brands. I really like their Belgian chocolate, because of the creaminess, richness of the chocolate.

I would say the service is great even though there is usually a big crowd waiting for their ice cream, especially when it gets closer to closing time. However, regarding the atmosphere, it feels a little cramped to be eating ice cream, especially with such limited seating. The staff aren’t the friendliest and gave a bit of an attitude when I asked about nuts, with no clear answer, but it panned out because the ice cream actually didn’t have nuts.

Vegetarian options: Not clear on vegan options.

Kid-friendliness: could make more profits if they started selling kids’ sizes.”

“Wonderful gluten free options and excellent coffee and smoothies !”

“No frills deli, operated by a very friendly older couple. Pre-Covid prices! 5 stars for the food considering that a burger and fries that’s cooked right in front of you is still somehow cheaper than fast food. Worth a visit just to show them some love.”

“If five guys and big buns are 10/10 i'd say zburger is 8.5/10 as far as hamburgers go. But what is really unique about zburger is the added "service and packaging charge" and when you order from a third party app they always add "adjustment charges" after you already agreed upon a much lower total - i think zburger doesn't expect anyone to notice and they are probably right”

“I remember getting the cinnamon bagel bites when I vacationed as a kid so I was so excited to see a Chesapeake Bagel Bakery across from the carwash....I bought them out and they (although larger) are exactly how I remember them!”

“Great selection of beer on tap, lots of wine and cocktail options, along with non-alcoholic beverages. I was welcome to bring food from downstairs and eat it at the bar while enjoying some brews. There are utensils, still and sparkling water, napkins etc”

“excellent offerings. loved it. will be back for the ice cream”

“I've had a variety of food here and everything has been fantastic! Lots of healthy options and traditional favorites. The prices are reasonable especially compared to any of the other office building restaurants in the area.”

“Smooth taste❤️ the best coffee”

“Polo Ralph Lauren Clothes💯❤️🙏🏽”

“Food was fabulous. Our table had the pizza, gnocchi and a seafood dish. All were spectacular. The service was awesome. Will definitely come back.”

“Never have I ever tasted such incredibly delicious Chocolate Pistachio Baklava!!! Parsa Bakery is a true McLean treasure from warm welcoming Sarah to the European Middle Eastern specialty items. The pastries are baked fresh daily on-site and you'll have to taste them to believe it!”

“If you’re looking for casual dining in a unique ambiance and appointed outdoor courtyard/cafe setting, then Pikoteo is your place.

“Love my pistachio Latte & baklava !!! The atmosphere is warm and cozy, highly recommend.”

“Absolutely amazing experience!!!”

“We had a blast despite the chill today. Looking forward to coming back when it is just slightly warmer. My only complaint would be why the heaters weren't turned on by the playground today, a lot of us parents were freezing.”

“Love this hidden gem. Food is great every time.”

“Best Ramen 🍜 in Northern VA”

“My first time having this type of food, and it was amazing! I don’t care for humus and theirs is amazing! Definitely will be back when I’m in town.”

“Food was good but lacked that flavor that elevates the dish from being good to great. It was still good and came out most Rikki-tik, almost too quick but still felt fresh. Felt full but not in a bad way. Definitely felt satiated afterwards. Pleasantly surprised with the food and the overall price. I would come back if I was in the area and hungry for Dim Sum.”
