“Amazing hidden gem! My wife and I ordered samosa chaat, beef kabob platter, mango lassi and chocolate cake. All the food tasted amazing! Our favorite was definitely samosa chaat and mango lassi. Both items had authentic Indian flavors!”

“As I am writing this review I had to check to make sure this was the correct location. They definitely deserve better than a 3.5 rating! If anyone remembers they used to be here a couple years ago and then had a rebuild to what they are now.It wasn't very memorable then but NOW this is a well run establishment. Every employee is nice and I've never had to wait long for hot and fresh food. Even during busy hours I can only remember 1 instance my food wasn't correct and honestly it wasn't that big of a deal because it was a free 6 piece from my points and instead I recieved a 4. Lol I'm surely not going to complain about free food! The other time, my fiance ordered a large fry and it was a tad crunchy dry, they hopped on it so quick and fixed it! There's not many instances of them fixing problems as they usually get it right the first time! I haven't frequented another location in over a year!I don't know if management reads this but in the drive through, service inside, and pick up (as a dasher & customer) they really do make my life easier!I can't help but give them their props ? please keep up the excellent work and know it is super refreshing to see smiling faces. Thank You!I am truly happy for this edition in our area! Again, I can't possibly see why they'd have a score less than a 4.5 as they are really attentive and great at customer service!If you're super loyal to a different local location I'd take a chance and give this branch a try, it's worth it! ?Also, the rumor about the fries is true! The days of shoving fries down your face before they get cold are OVER. I find myself often dropping in to use my app and get any size fry for $1.19. I was surprised by the flavor and retention. They taste better and last longer than Wendy's who claims to have a new method for keeping their fries warm.(Brace yourself I'm getting ready to brag about thier tea ?)Also, thier sweet Tea TASTES like sweet tea. Yet another reason to give this location a try. It's not too sweet but you're definitely not wondering where the sugar is which leaves you with a pleasant drinking experience. What most branches don't realize is this gives customers the OPTION to request 1/2 sweet- 1/2 unsweet if they want a partially sweetened tea. This is how it used to taste back in the day when they (McD's in general) had Styrofoam cups. I haven't found a branch in the area who can rival with the way they make their tea!Oh yeah the cookies! There have been multiple occasions where I have ordered cookies and I was asked to pull into a drive through wait area. (If you are asked to do this, please DON'T get frustrated. Think of it like a fast food VIP ? ? You are likely going to be met with some of the Hottest fresh FOOD you can get here). Then after about 2 or 4 minutes a nice employee strolls out and informs me to be careful the cookies are hot and very soft ?. The last time I got them they were layed out on a big breakfast tray beautifully.As i write this I realize it sounds as if I am talking abot a fine dining establishment and promise I'm not making this up. They are just really good here and I ENJOY coming here not as a "I'm hungry and i just need food choice" , but as a "Hmmm let's get some fast food tonight and we pick here."It reminds me of when I was younger and McDonalds was a treat. Ok, I'm done ranting and raving.Just try it! Lol”

“Traveling from Maine to Virgina we needed a quick place close to highway to eat. This was probably the cleanest Wendy's we had ever been too. Staff was super friendly and helpful and food was good as always.”

“After spending the last 17 years in San Antonio, Texas, I have finally found my new favorite Texas Barbecue in Virginia. It has taken me a year, but Wow! I found it. Texas Jack’s Barbecue is finger licking yummy to the tummy! We enjoyed the atmosphere, the decor, the prompt and friendly service, and the menu options available.Everything we ordered was absolutely cooked and seasoned to the highest level of perfection. It was like going home for the Christmas or Thanksgiving season to eat your families’ favorite holiday meal.Oh and I loved their branding too. That is always extra special when a restaurant understands the importance of serving good quality food and creating the emotional attachments to their brand. They did that. Their logo is everywhere. Love it.”

“I am very excited, happy to share. Today was just going to be a day to be bar hopping. But jinya was my first stop. My sister in law and I thought it was going to be a place where one drink one app and off to the next bar. Noooottt, loved our bartenders. Antonio. Amazing performance, personality. His suggestions into getting a mezcal margarita, really!!! But was well balanced. Jackie kudos, awesome personality as well. We shad such an amazing time we stayed longer then anticipated.”

“Excellent Customer service! I had a 3 hour layover and I'm so glad I chose to sit at Washington Pour Bar, I didn't feel the time fly by. I was greeted with a warm welcome by Wintana and Abby. They were every attentive and kept on checking in throughout my time there. I was pleasantly surprised at how appetizing their food was. Very inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend!”

“Reservations are needed for dinner given the popularity of this local gem. Food and tea were outstanding. Plan on returning for my next trip to the area.Vegetarian options: The pumpkin dumplings made my day!”

“We ordered the 4-course dinner menu which was delicious and very reasonably priced. The service was excellent and we appreciated the Turkish wine recommendation. This restaurant is very close to our house and definitely consider it a neighborhood gem. We will go back to try different menu items.”

“We got our food to go since the place is on the small side but the food did not disappoint. The sopes were delicious and the torta chingona was amazing. The torta can definitely Can be shared with another person since it’s on the big side (I think it was obvious from the name) I’ll definitely return!”

“Great dinner. The service was good in both promptness, suggestions, cleaning up, etc. Food was almost top notch and had potential...but wasn't fully what I consider fine dining. It's just a nice place to have a good family and friend dinner...not necessarily a first time business dinner unless you are already networked with them. Between the 4 of us, we had salad Caesar Classique, mushroom soup, NY Strip Steak, pork chop, the special Ahi, and the special sea bass. Everything delicious and just a spot off as fine dining but definitely close to it. We had a couple good desserts also.”

“It was quite slow while I was there. We had 4 adults and a baby. The highchair was a little too large for a 6 month old, and couldn't hold a carrier. So we had her on a chair next to our booth until she decided she wanted to sit next to us. It worked out, but if it was busier it would have been a problem.”

“I ordered the crab cake it was delicious, I don't have one bad thing to say.. if there was anything that I didn't like it has nothing to do with the food or service, buy the bathroom was I'm an odd spot and although they have elevator it would be nice to not have to go so far to get to the restroom”

“One of the newest cocktail bars on King street!This place is super cool and has a bit of a speakeasy vibe.We only got cocktails but they were all super good and unique. One of the bartenders, Andres, who was making our drinks used to work at a Michelin star bar and really showed it.He even made us custom cocktails when asked and was very nice to talk to.The atmosphere is very cute and very Instagrammable.The only thing is you have to use wifi because the bar is underground and there's no signal but other than that will definitely be going back.”

“I did a take out of their delicious Aloo and piyaz pakoras for our Iftari a week or so ago. The packaging was great which included a generous amount of their tasty green chutney. I glanced at their menu main items and their prices seemed high. Manager/owner and helper were polite and friendly. Great efficient service. Good restaurant atmosphere. I wish them success with their new desi restaurant.”

“Absolutely great sushi and great service! Ordered the dragon roll, salmon lover roll, volcano roll, and 2 California rolls. Everything was perfect. We ordered take out after eating there several days prior (second pic with flying dragon roll). I’d say the price is very reasonable for such delicious and fresh sushi. Service was excellent. Will be our go to place for both dine in and take out!”

“Finally went last night as I live a block away. The food was incredible, every dish hit. The service was warm and friendly, felt like I'd known them forever. Will be back!”

“A great place for a weekend brunch or groups. Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity. I really like the mapu tofu, the custard buns, the bubble teas and the double cooked pork belly.”

“We had an amazing experience! Everything was delicious, but the Okra Lamb Tajin was my favorite. Cannot recommend this place enough! I’m excited to go back and try the fish.”

“This was our second time visiting. The first was two years ago. I'm pleased to say I would give 5 stars then, and 5 stars now. The service was great from the time we entered until we walked out. I can't remember the drink I had but was a "spirit free" option. I was nervous because it had cinnamon, but was perfectly refreshing. My husband had the optimal wit beer. We had the Pork belly for our appetizer that was nothing short of delicious. We both had steak, he had a ribeye and I had the filet. Perfectly cooked and worth the price. We were too full for dessert this time but will be back and save room!”

“Great flavor and good service! Would definitely recommend taking advantage of all the different toppings, since that’s where the real flavor comes from. Also don’t forget to ask for extra Shawarma sauce on the side!Service was attentive, and they definitely let customers customize their orders to get what they want. The down side with more options is it can take a little longer to get your food. That said, the service was still reasonably timely, and I’d definitely come back.Parking: This location is inside the mall, so parking can be tricky at popular times.”

“We went with our old neighbors, Kevin & Tracey Durkin, and loved everything! The dates and deviled eggs were delicious, and the bolonese was authentic, like we got in Bologna, IT. We'll be back!”

“Hey Scott, hope you’re reading this wanted to let you know tonight I had an amazing night. Your bar tenders kat and Mac are such a great duo behind the bar, I got a new job that’s super stressful and I hit the bar to release some steam and kat and mac we’re so charming and charismatic and really made my night without knowing my circumstances, they just delivered that hospitality and customer service. Wanted to emphasize that kat handled her self with such grace and delivered on that fun atmosphere even with a cheap rude arrogant “iPad adult” that was just nasty and rude I had to turn around on my bar stool and give him my side eye ? did not phase her, she kept her cool calm and collective demeanor. As I seethed in my seat enjoying my cocktail.If I worked for you, I woulda punched him fyi.?”

“Truly delicious! Visited Alexandria and noticed there are lots of ice cream shops to get a scoop you could get at home, but we wanted something special. Goodies is it! We tried the brownie sandwich sundae, the apple donut sandwich with homemade caramel sauce and the Oreo sundae. All were fantastic and my family loved them! Very nice outdoor seating area in a great location. Brandon (the owner) was really helpful and friendly. There was a bit of a line on a sunny Sunday afternoon, but it moved quickly and was so worth the wait. FYI, it was cash only. We'll be back for sure!”

“One of the best African Restaurants in Virginia! It had a great selection of Nigerian, Sierra Leone and more dishes. Delicious suya, perfect puff puff, best attieke, and an extremely friendly staff. Do yourself a favor and stop by and grab something yummy for your tummy.”

“The absolute best bun bue hue and the area. Soup has very good authentic flavor and very good portions. Bun bue hue did not disappoint. Maybe the best bun bue hue I've had in the area. It was my first time here found them on uber eats and went to pick it up cause it was cheaper. Can't wait to try there all beef traditional pho. I've literally been to a majority of pho places in there area this was is top quality. The restaurant name bistro speaks for itself.”

“Straight up and down, this is one of the best experiences I've had in a long time. Tous les Jours was bright, inviting, and fresh items were being rolled out throughout my visit. Saying that my treats were divine almost feels like I'm doing them a disservice. Highly recommended!”

“Generally everything was good, I just wasn't as happy as I'd like to be for spending about $50 pp with tip for a beer, dinner, and shared appetizers. I will try to visit again and try the pho. Service was relatively quick. The place is very small and won't seat partial parties. It got quite crowded so be prepared.”

“Stop by if you’re hitching a flight on AA in the Terminal C area (C27 specifically). Martha, Sebrina and Maraki are top tier! Fantastic customer service, highly recommended!”

“Delicious chana masala with delicate, fragrant rice. Family-run with friendly service.Parking: In a shopping center.Kid-friendliness: Had chicken nuggets for picky kids.”

“We went to check out the new Padaek in Arlington after having been to the Falls Church location a few times. This one is nice, service is amazing, and the food is good. Buuuuuuttttt, it's different...I like my food spicy, and knew to order it "Lao spicy". When it arrived at the table, I could see that it just had a bunch of chilis added. This gives it a bit of spice, but is more like a level 3 out of 5. It was just lacking the heat as when ordering spicy at the other location. Obviously, they don't want to overwhelm their guests with spice, but if you're asking for that level of heat, you obviously want it. Oh well...it's good, and the flavors are tasty...but the other location feels more authentic.”
