“Best ribs in Loudoun County and its not even up for debate. And they have been the best ribs for over a decade, dating back to when this restaruant was (and still is) a very popular road-side BBQ stand in Aldie. While I love the ribs, I am an even bigger fan of the rib tips, which are a delicacy not to be missed.”

Can’t wait to go back for me!”

“Original visit: Their grilled chicken sandwich and their steak and cheese sub were delicious. Very kind and professional staff.Brunch: The server was great and attentive for our group of 16.

I've had enough from their menu to tell you they're extremely consistently delicious.If you save room for dessert and don't like anything on their menu, try abbots frozen custard next door, best ice cream you've ever had.”

46930 Cedar Lake Plaza #180, Sterling

“This place is a bright, comfortable restaurant where you pay and order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table. When I visited 7 years ago, I was disappointed by their Panang curry. When I visited today, they had things on the menu that I had never seen before. I ordered a Southern Thai dish. All I can say is that it was delicious!Vegetarian options: They have a sign saying that just because something has vegetables in it does not mean it is vegetarian or vegan; however, unless you are seeking ritual purity, I believe you could find a decent, reasonably vegetarian dish here.”

Casa Tequila Bar & Grill 7 Pidgeon Hill Dr, Sterling Bar & Grill • $$
7 Pidgeon Hill Dr, Sterling

“I found the service at this establishment to be satisfactory, and the food was decent, though not exceptional. However, my dining experience was marred by the excessive focus on happy hour margarita specials and the lack of clear separation between the bar area and the dining room. This resulted in loud and disruptive behavior from intoxicated patrons, both at the bar and at nearby tables. Additionally, I observed instances where the server seemed overly eager to continue serving drinks to individuals who were already visibly intoxicated, which detracted from the overall atmosphere and enjoyment of the meal”

“Had the chicken pad Thai and ordered it "Thai hot" and was not disappointed. It could have been spicier, but it was still very good. Highly recommend and glad my coworker found it because I would have looked right over the place because I don't eat seafood so wouldn't have looked at a restaurant named "The Seafood Lover"!”

“Great Italian food with a large menu.2024 update: it seems inflation has taken its toll on Pomodoro. Same great food only portions have decreased significantly for some items without dropping the price. I hope this is temporary.2022 update: food is still great except the chicken soup. It was the first and last time I will order this soup. The bowl was a bunch of vegetables with chicken and a lot of grease which I tried to look past. The taste was horrid.”
