On our way to Woodbridge, Nicole and I stopped by Fair Winds Brewing Company in Lorton…read more By the time we got inside, the taproom was packed (rainy Sundays = everyone had the same idea), and we ended up sharing a table with another party. Not ideal, but it definitely added to the lively, community vibe. Nicole went bold with the Ghost of the Mariner Imperial Stout -- rich, dark, and layered with deep roasted notes. Perfect for stout lovers who want something robust and cozy on a rainy day. I kept it bright with the Fruit Punch Fruited Sour -- juicy, tangy, and super refreshing. A fun contrast to the gray skies outside and very much my vibe. We sampled Ironmaster Hazy IPA and Sailing Cross The Devil's Sea Hazy IPA to decide which one deserved a 6-pack for the hubby. Both were smooth, juicy, and low bitterness -- classic hazy energy -- but one edged out the other in overall balance and drinkability. Overall: great variety, solid pours, and a buzzing atmosphere -- just be prepared for limited seating during peak times.

The Hilltop Wegman's has a few things going for it…read more I can tell you that they have a very good wine section, even including a few organic (no added sulfites) vinos. Wegman's also has excellent meat and seafood sections. The bakery is impressive. And one thing they have improved since we first shopped here five years ago is that they have toned down the blasting music that used to make us want to get fast out of Wegman's. The hot foods section used to be pretty good, but now it has shriveled down to next to nothing, The take-home pre-prepared meals, while very good in quality, are exorbitant. Plan on spending $16-$18 for a simple meal, which is as much as you would pay in a restaurant for the same stuff. While they have an abundance of self-check stations, Wegman's doesn't let you get cash back, like you can at Safeway. The self-check stations can be persnickety. Today, I encountered one machine claiming I had put an unchecked item in the bagging item before I had even started scanning my stuff. Yikes! But what I really don't like is how Wegman's does bagging. The Virginia legislature in 2022 passed a law allowing grocery stores to collect from customers 5¢ for each plastic bag used. Wegman's has completely done away with plastic bags, yet Wegman's but takes advantage of that law to charge 5¢ for each paper bag. The icing on the cake is their paper sacks do not even have handles.

I can finally say ... this is my favorite grocery store !!…read more Starting with pharmacy, prices are unbeatable in comparison to all pharmacies near. Staff is always friendly and has often given me "emergency refills " of my dog's controlled medications when I've forgotten to call in advance. Their cafe ... no words .. from having a bar.. to coffee .. SUSHI? Perfect place to study with a large seating selection. As for groceries.. I would expect them to be more expensive but they actually aren't bad. I love their kitty litter!! $12 and works amazing! Tip: Try their take on a shrimp po boy but in sushi form ... (you have to love old bay)

This place is awesome for kiddos and the staff is phenomenal! Super helpful and soooo nice!…read more But let me tell you about their food menu. Best spinach artichoke dip I have ever had. Like ever. Ask my husband, I get it on almost every menu and I will dream about this one forever. The kale salad was all the right amount of texture and flavor and the hot honey pepperoni pizza was a treat. Also, I jude places on the ranch and this one absolutely passed! The sours were great. Would not recommend the wine though- the white was very full bodied and savory? lol.

Overall a nice brewery!…read more Beers: good selection of beers that you can sample before doing a full or half pour Food: large selection of food from burgers to pizza to hot dogs and more. We had the white pizza and it was tasty. Our server was great! He was taking care of behind the bar and bringing out food from the kitchen as it was early afternoon and not overly busy on a Monday. It's a large space with lots of seating and even an upstairs area. Also a long bar area with seats. They have games on hand too which is always nice!

I came on a Thursday afternoon and enjoyed this charming little restaurant. The French fries and…read moreBiscoff waffle was our favorite! We also tried the crab cake sandwich and French onion soup (also yummy). The ambiance is wonderful with French music playing and a darling patio. The service could improve a little, but I think that was an issue of being understaffed because I could tell he was trying very hard. This a great spot for a leisurely afternoon!

Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 5/5…read more I love Belgian beer, and Cock and Bowl is my favorite place to nab some of this great nectar. This place keeps the Belgian brews stocked across the spectrum. From fruity Lambics to Tripels (my personal fave) and Quadrupels, pales to darks. There's a lot to explore here. The food is pretty good too. The frites (fries) are excellent and pair well with the beer. They are thick without veering into steak fry territory, nicely crunchy, and packed with a pleasing amount of salt (and I believe a hint of vinegar). The waffles are also a standout, typically topped with light and airy cream. The merguez lamb sausage is also hearty and delicious. I wish the building itself was larger. There's only a few tables, meaning you may be in for a wait if you go during the colder months. And I recently had the chocolate mousse and didn't care for it. It was much more akin to pudding, and there wasn't a deep enough chocolate flavor to contrast with the whipped cream. There's no better place I've found in Occoquan to eat, drink, and be merry. I highly recommend you stop here when you visit.

I do remember visiting a few times when living in the area and very much enjoyed their selection of beers especially IPA & Optimal Wit even though I'm not a hefe person per se. The food was decent and it was nice to be able to take a few brews home as well. The atmosphere was generally peaceful and quiet unless they had an event happening and even then it's doable. The service is quick with its walk up bar and high tops scattered around. Very friendly and accommodating. Great place to hang for a beer and a bite.

Dear reader,…read more Firebirds was a thoroughly lovely experience and exactly the sort of place one hopes for when the evening calls for a proper cocktail and a comfortable perch at the bar. We sat there for the evening and had such a fun time, due in no small part to the bartender, who was super nice, genuinely funny, and clearly knew their way around a cocktail. A charming and commendable combination. The atmosphere strikes a very pleasing balance. It feels warm and inviting with a slightly upscale air, but never in a way that feels stuffy or overly serious. Everything felt polished, the service was great, and the whole place had that easy, settled-in quality that makes you want to stay for another round rather than rush off to the next engagement. I also especially liked the Seared Ahi Tuna, which was absolutely worth ordering and deserves its moment of recognition. Overall, Firebirds delivered a very enjoyable evening with good drinks, great service, and an atmosphere that made lingering feel like the correct decision. We will absolutely be back soon, and happily so.

Even better, our entire order for a family of four came in under $100, which was a great value. Shoutout to our waitress, Bre, who was fantastic--attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. We will definitely be returning!

American restaurant & Wine Bar in downtown Occoquan…read more Menu is pretty straightforward American cuisine, though they have a bunch of drink options that also includes a few cocktails in addition to their wine/beer selection. They also allow you to make a flight with 2 oz pours of any wines you're interested in My fiance and I came for dinner on a Friday night and opted to sit on the patio in the front of the place (it was very loud inside). It was really nice seeing all of the people strolling around the area. We split a charcuterie & cheese board + a grilled cheese sandwich. Everything was solid.
