    Chicken Brochette
    Sanah J.

    I had a great experience here! The staff was super friendly and caring!! The chicken and rice was so well flavored and came with some yummy grilled veggies! Super chill place, perfect for a casual lunch and doing some work on my laptop!

    Wow! This food is fresh. I was ready for lunch but so tired of fried, wraps or sandwiches. There's Astor right in the corner. Big enough to bring friends and so clean. I was warmly greeted and surprised at the number of vegetarian offerings and Mediterranean standards like swarma. I picked lamb and added a rice pudding for a treat. The lamb was so fresh and tender. Vegetables and rice were fresh and flavorful. Oh! The rice pudding was creamy and flavorful what a nice finish. But wait. They also carry Divont chocolates and date desserts. Those chocolates are heaven. Take a break and discover Astor, you'll be glad you did.

    Chicken shawarma sandwich, my bad for the pic, I got too excited. The salad on top is hiding the chicken, hummus, and garlic sauce.

    They're back! New owners, new menu, new everything I guess, but finally Astor is open. Stopped in on day 1 after seeing the OPEN sign lit up in the window, first to actually confirm and later to get takeout. The folks there were really nice, the restaurant is really attractive and clean, and it feels a bit like it was back when old Astor was good. The menu still seems to be a work in progress, and they are working out glitches in their online ordering, but the food is solid! Got chicken shawarma sandwich, beef shawarma sandwich, kofta sandwich, and a cheesesteak, and everyone raved. Their hummus was really good, their baba ganoush was incredible. Honestly, we were ready to cut them a lot of slack being brand new, but I'm really impressed. For those old timers who can remember Astor from two owners ago, this is much more like that quality-wise than the reboot that only lasted a year or two. You might need to be a bit patient while they figure things out, but it's worth it, at least so far. So great to have another option in Lyon Park. I'm definitely trying again, will post an update and better pics next time.

    The service was AMAZING! The owner was very kind, told us all about his kitchen, and he shared free food (the date pastries are delicious, and lentil soup to warm a cold night). Besides the hospitality, the food was warm and delicious. There is plenty of indoor seating for large groups, the portions are HUGE (my shawarma platter is enough for 3 meals!), and it was priced very affordably. An added bonus: their rice pudding was fluffy and delicious.

    Update - I'll give it 4 for the pizza. Crust is a little thicker but still chewy, the Greek pizza was pretty good with feta, gyro meat, pepperoncini and olives, tomatoes and garlic. Super garlicky. Tomatoes were great with the thicker crust. Super easy to order online and ready when you get there. Fries are also good for $2. Gyro is just ok, but only $6.50, quick and easy.

Anyone who remembers this place from years ago remembers taking a number, waiting in line, and getting one of the best made-to-order subs in the region? The sandwiches were worth the wait. Maybe the parents moved back to Italia and the kids got stuck with the greedy landlord. Now its just a lazy we don't care overpriced landlord run revenue generator. 6 years after COVID and the subs are still pre-made dying in over stacked pile on the counter. The rolls are often soggy by the time they reach the customer, and the fillings are so thinly layered that each bite feels more like bread sandwich with some after thought what's inside. It screams KEEP THE COST DOWN. What was once a destination deli now feels like a place that's simply too tired to care. The decline reminds me of when DC bartenders traded free pours for jiggers. Less booze, higher prices, and a straight face while handing it to you 30 minutes later with a clever name like Adam's Apple. Same business model here. Less meat, more bread, and somehow we're all expected to clap. The saddest part is that it's still busy, largely because there are fewer and fewer alternatives. The independent mom-and-pop shops that gave this area character have been pushed out, and we're left with a shell of what this place used to be. At this point, I've had fresher and better-constructed subs from Harris Teeter. That's not meant as a compliment. When customers start comparing a legendary deli to a grocery store sandwich counter--and the grocery store holds its own--it's probably time for some serious soul-searching. Nostalgia can only carry a business so far. Unfortunately, the sandwich I had was living almost entirely on memories.

It only took a quick 10 minutes to receive our entire order, which was 3 burgers, a crispy fried chicken sandwich, loaded fries, and 2 milkshakes! I was very happy with how efficient the service was and the most important part, how delicious every bite was! The smashburgers are made with 100% halal beef and they come out HOT with perfectly crispy edges on the patties and a juicy center. We ordered 3 burgers and each of them stood out in their own way. You can get a single, double, or triple patty burger and add whatever toppings to it too. The jalapeño burger was the star of the show, it had a such a nice and spicy kick to it. I wasn't expecting much but this burger had HEAT! Another favorite was the Juicy Lucy. It was packed with grilled onions and the patty was stuffed with cheddar cheese. A super messy and cheesy option that was definitely worth every bite! I liked that Jon's Joint offered other options too such as loaded fries and fried chicken sandwiches. What I found unique is that for the loaded fries, you can get it with falafel and make it spicy! This time, they had run out of the falafel so I am excited to try it next time. If you're in Arlington and craving a casual burger spot, you need to go to Jon's Joint. You'll get quick service and a delicious meal!

You can tell the owner is really into Superheroes. I ordered the grilled chicken. The good thing is that it is cooked to order. Loved that. Downside, no seasoning, AT ALL. This would be fine, I understand dietary considerations with sodium. What had me perplexed was they had NO PEPPER in the entire restaurant. I've NEVER been at a restaurant that didn't have any pepper. Plenty of salt, seasoned salt and even more salt. No pepper. Burgers seem to be popular. Wasn't very crowded, but seemed popular by locals. It was a "meh" for me. I do however really like that the food is cooked to order.

I only ate half for lunch and then I ate the second half for dinner. I reheated it in the toaster oven. In addition to the vegetarian Cuban, I also got the rice and beans and the yucca fries.

I love the dipping sauce. I ate all but three, and reheated them in the toaster oven for dinner. They were still very good. I finished the meal off with the Keylime pie.

Also got a cafe con leche (Miami style) for my drink. We weren't super hungry so the trio was perfect for us. Everything on it was great, with my favorite being the sliders since it was crispy and a little meaty. The empanada was a little oily but still satisfying, and the croquettes had great crunchy texture. Yuca was okay. I should've gotten a sweeter coffee drink cause I have a sweet-tooth but it was still solid. The inside vibe is pretty chill. You just grab seating yourself and can order on your phone through the QR code that's associated with the table. You can also order at the front. There is parking around the area too (paid and unpaid (if you're lucky)). Glad I came here and checked it out. Definitely a solid chain for a quick bite and refreshing drink.
